[*1]In the Matter of Charles Treuer Mitchell, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2747913.)

Calendar Date: December 2, 2019

Before: Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Aarons, Pritzker and Colangelo, JJ.


Charles Treuer Mitchell, Centennial, Colorado, pro se.
Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany, for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.
Charles Treuer Mitchell was admitted to practice by this Court in 1996 and lists a business address in Denver, Colorado with the Office of Court Administration. Mitchell now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see  Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Mitchell's application.
Upon reading Mitchell's affidavit sworn to October 2, 2019 and filed October 7, 2019, and upon reading the November 19, 2019 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Mitchell is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Aarons, Pritzker and Colangelo, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Charles Treuer Mitchell's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Charles Treuer Mitchell'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 Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further
ORDERED that Charles Treuer Mitchell 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 Mitchell 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
ORDERED that Charles Treuer Mitchell shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
