Per Curiam. Dara Chane Leavitt was admitted to practice by this Court in 1993 and lists a business address in Honolulu, Hawaii with the Office of Court Administration. Leavitt now seeks 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) advises that it does not oppose Leavitt's application.

Upon reading Leavitt's affidavit sworn to April 23, 2026, and filed April 27, 2026, and upon reading the May 4, 2026 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Leavitt is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Pritzker, J.P., Ceresia, Powers, Mackey and Ryba, JJ., concur. Ordered that Dara Chane Leavitt's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further ordered that Dara Chane Leavitt's name is hereby stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately, and until further order of this Court (see generally Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further ordered that Dara Chane Leavitt 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 Leavitt 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 herself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this state; and it is further ordered that Dara Chane Leavitt shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
