MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Monica Jung Huh was admitted to practice by this Court in 2015 and lists a business address in Malvern, Pennsylvania with the Office of Court Administration. Huh 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 Huh's application.
Upon reading Huh's affidavit sworn to October 7, 2017 and filed October 10, 2017, and upon reading the October 18, 2017 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Huh is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
McCarthy, J.P., Garry, Clark, Aarons and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Monica Jung Huh's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Monica Jung Huh'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 Monica Jung Huh is commanded to desist and refrain from the practice [*2]of law in any form in the State of New York, either as principal or as agent, clerk or employee of another; and Huh 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 Monica Jung Huh shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
