Randall Philip Brett, Plainsboro, New Jersey, 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.
Randall Philip Brett was admitted to practice by this Court in 2008 and lists a business address in Plainsboro, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Brett 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 Brett's application.
Upon reading Brett's affidavit sworn to February 12, 2025 and filed February 24, 2025, and upon reading the March 11, 2025 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Brett is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Ceresia, Fisher and Mackey, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Randall Philip Brett's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Randall Philip Brett'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 Randall Philip Brett 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 Brett 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 himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further
