Per Curiam.
Elizabeth Marie Mills was admitted to practice by this Court in 2017 and lists a business address in Woodstock, Illinois with the Office of Court Administration. Mills now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]).

Upon reading Mills' affidavit sworn to February 6, 2026 and filed February10, 2026, and upon reading the April 7, 2026 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Mills is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
