In the Matter of Robert J. Coan, an Attorney.
[49 NYS3d 321]

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Robert J. Coan was admitted to practice by this Court in 1959 and lists a business address in the Town of Niskayuna, Schenectady County with the Office of Court Administration. Coan 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 advises that it does not oppose Coan's application.
Upon reading the affidavit of Coan sworn to November 19, 2016, and upon reading the correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for the Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, and having determined that Coan is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Rose, Clark and Aarons, JJ., concur.
Ordered that Robert J. Coan's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further ordered that Robert J. Coan'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 Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further ordered that Robert J. Coan shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
