    In the Matter of Jeffrey Jay Friedland, an Attorney.
    [53 NYS3d 576]
   Per Curiam.

Jeffrey Jay Friedland was admitted to practice by this Court in 1987 and lists a business address in Longmont, Colorado with the Office of Court Administration. Friedland 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 Friedland’s application.

Upon reading the affidavit of Friedland sworn to April 17, 2017 and filed April 21, 2017, and upon reading the May 12, 2017 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Friedland is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Peters, P.J., McCarthy, Garry, Lynch and Rose, JJ., concur.
