Per Curiam.
Jung W. Kim was admitted to practice by this Court in 2004 and lists a business address in Trenton, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Kim 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 Kim's application.
Upon reading Kim's affidavit sworn to May 8, 2026, and filed May 13, 2026, and upon reading the June 17, 2026 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Kim is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant their application and accept their resignation.
Garry, P.J., Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald, Corcoran and Ryba, JJ., concur.
