Meredith Margaret Brumfield, Chicago, Illinois, pro se.
Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany (Alison M. Coan of counsel), for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.
Per Curiam.
Meredith Margaret Brumfield was admitted to practice by this Court in 2021 and lists a business address in Washington, DC with the Office of Court Administration. Brumfield 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 Brumfield's application.
Upon reading Brumfield's affidavit sworn to August 28, 2024 and filed September 3, 2024, and upon reading the October 29, 2024 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Brumfield is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Clark, Aarons and McShan, JJ., concur.
