Ericka Aida Antonia Byram, Englewood, California, 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.
Ericka Aida Antonia Byram was admitted to practice by this Court in 2020 and lists a business address in Denver, Colorado with the Office of Court Administration. Byram now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]).
