Scott Douglas Pinsky, San Rafael, California, 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. Scott Douglas Pinsky was admitted to practice by this Court in 2001 and lists a business address in San Rafael, California with the Office of Court Administration. Pinsky has applied to this Court, by affidavit sworn to February 17, 2024, for 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) opposes the application, contending that Pinsky is ineligible for nondisciplinary resignation because he has failed to fulfill his attorney registration requirements for the 2023-2024 biennial period (see Judiciary Law § 468-a; Matter of Lee, 148 AD3d 1350, 1350 [3d Dept 2017]; Matter of Bomba, 146 AD3d 1226, 1226-1227 [3d Dept 2017]; Rules of Chief Admr of Cts [22 NYCRR] § 118.1). In reply to AGC’s opposition, however, Pinsky has submitted a supplemental submission, dated April 4, 2024, in which he states that he is now current in his New York attorney registration requirements. Furthermore, Office of Court Administration records likewise establish that Pinsky has duly registered and cured any preexisting registration delinquency. Accordingly, with AGC voicing no other substantive objection to his application, and having determined that Pinsky is now eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons (compare Matter of Tierney, 148 AD3d 1457, 1458 [3d Dept 2017]; Matter of Bomba, 146 AD3d at 1227), we grant the application and accept his resignation. Egan Jr., J.P., Clark, Reynolds Fitzgerald, McShan and Mackey, JJ., concur. ORDERED that Scott Douglas Pinsky’s application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further ORDERED that Scott Douglas Pinsky’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 Scott Douglas Pinsky 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 Pinsky 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 ORDERED that Scott Douglas Pinsky shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
