    In the Matter of Lisa Millicent Westervelt, an Attorney.
    [65 NYS3d 817]
   Per Curiam.

Lisa Millicent Westervelt was admitted to practice by this Court in 1997 and lists a business address in Provincetown, Massachusetts with the Office of Court Administration. Westervelt has applied to this Court, by affidavit sworn to October 23, 2017, for 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) opposes the application, contending that Westervelt is ineligible for nondisciplinary resignation because she has failed to fulfill her attorney registration requirements for the most recent biennial period (see Judiciary Law § 468-a; Matter of Lee, 148 AD3d 1350 [2017]; Matter of Bomba, 146 AD3d 1226, 1226-1227 [2017]; Rules of Chief Admin of Cts [22 NYCRR] § 118.1).

In reply to AGC’s opposition, however, Westervelt has submitted correspondence in which she indicates that she is now current in her New York attorney registration requirements. Furthermore, Office of Court Administration records likewise establish that Westervelt has duly registered and cured any preexisting registration delinquency. Accordingly, with AGC voicing no other substantive objection to her application, and having determined that Westervelt is now eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons (compare Matter of Levey, 155 AD3d 1300 [2017]; Matter of Tierney, 148 AD3d 1457, 1458 [2017]), we grant the application and accept her resignation.
