MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Sara Coury Eagan was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists a business address in New Orleans, Louisiana with the Office of Court Administration. By affidavit sworn to May 17, 2017 and filed May 22, 2017, Eagan now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see  Uniform 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 Eagan's application by correspondence dated June 19, 2017.
Upon reading the affidavit of Eagan, and upon reading the correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Eagan is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, J.P., Lynch, Devine, Clark and Aarons, JJ., concur.
