Before: Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch, Clark and Pritzker, JJ.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Per Curiam.
Kaitlin Lasser Lovell was admitted to practice by this Court in 2001 and lists a business address in Portland, Oregon with the Office of Court Administration. Lovell 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 Lovell's application.
Upon reading Lovell's affidavit sworn to June 26, 2019 and filed July 2, 2019, and upon reading the July 23, 2019 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Lovell is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch, Clark and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Kaitlin Lasser Lovell's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Kaitlin Lasser Lovell'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 Kaitlin Lasser Lovell 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 Lovell 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 Kaitlin Lasser Lovell shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
