in re Wilson

Richard Albert Wilson was admitted to practice by this Court in 2005 and lists a business address in Towanda, Pennsylvania with the Office of Court Administration. Wilson has applied to this Court, by affidavit sworn to May 4, 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 Wilson is ineligible for nondisciplinary resignation because he has failed to fulfill his attorney registration requirement for the most recent biennial period beginning in 2017 (see Judiciary Law § 468-a; Matter of Bretschger, 148 AD3d 1450 , 1451 [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, Wilson has submitted a supplemental affidavit, sworn to July 21, 2017, in which he attests that he is now current in his New York attorney registration requirements. Furthermore, Office of Court Administration records likewise establish that Wilson has duly registered and cured any preexisting registration delinquency. Accordingly, with AGC voicing no other substantive objection to his application, and having determined that Wilson is now eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons (see Matter of Kushner, 151 AD3d 1268 [2017]; Matter of Waldron, 150 AD3d 1542 [2017]), we grant the application and accept his resignation.
