Robert J. Yamin, Danbury, Connecticut, pro se.
Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany (Alison M. Coan of counsel), for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.
Per Curiam.
Robert J. Yamin was admitted to practice by this Court in 1984 and lists a business address in Danbury, Connecticut with the Office of Court Administration. Yamin has applied to this Court, by affidavit sworn to December 18, 2025, for leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advised that it opposes Yamin's application based on omissions made within his application. Yamin thereafter filed a revised affidavit in response to AGC's correspondence.
Upon reading Yamin's affidavit sworn to December 18, 2025 and filed December 22, 2025, his revised affidavit sworn to February 27, 2026 and upon reading the February 26, 2026 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Yamin is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Reynolds Fitzgerald, Ceresia, Powers and Mackey, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Robert J. Yamin's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Robert J. Yamin is commanded to desist and refrain from the practice of law in any form in the State of New York, either as principal or as agent, clerk or employee of another; and Yamin is hereby forbidden to appear as an attorney or counselor-at-law before any court, judge, justice, board, commission or other public authority, or to give to another an opinion as to the law or its application, or any advice in relation thereto, or to hold himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further
