Kate Lommel Ciravolo, Carmel, Indiana, 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.

Kate Lommel Ciravolo was admitted to practice by this Court in 1990 and lists a business address in Carmel, Indiana with the Office of Court Administration. Ciravolo 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 Ciravolo's application.

Upon reading Ciravolo's affidavit sworn to March 8, 2024 and filed March 11, 2024, and upon reading the April 26, 2024 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Ciravolo is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Egan Jr., J.P., Clark, Aarons, Ceresia and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Kate Lommel Ciravolo's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Kate Lommel Ciravolo'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 Kate Lommel Ciravolo 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 Ciravolo 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 herself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further
