[*1]In the Matter of Molly Ann Moynihan, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 4928339.)


Calendar Date:December 2, 2024
Before:Egan Jr., J.P., Aarons, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ.

Molly Ann Moynihan, South Portland, Maine, 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.

Molly Ann Moynihan was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011 and lists a business address in Augusta, Maine with the Office of Court Administration. Moynihan 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 Moynihan's application.

Upon reading Moynihan's affidavit sworn to October 15, 2024 and filed October 21, 2024, and upon reading the November 20, 2024 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Moynihan is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Egan Jr., J.P., Aarons, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Molly Ann Moynihan's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Molly Ann Moynihan'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 Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further

ORDERED that Molly Ann Moynihan 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 Moynihan 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 Molly Ann Moynihan shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
