[*1]In the Matter of Ethan Konrad Knowlden, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 5140785.)

Calendar Date:May 1, 2023

Before:Garry, P.J., Lynch, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ.

Ethan Konrad Knowlden, Scottsdale, Arizona, pro se.
Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany, for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.
Ethan Konrad Knowlden was admitted to practice by this Court in 2013 and lists a business address in San Francisco, California with the Office of Court Administration. Knowlden 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 (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Knowlden's application.
Upon reading Knowlden's affidavit sworn to March 14, 2023 and filed March 21, 2023, and upon reading the April 27, 2023 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Knowlden is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Lynch, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Ethan Konrad Knowlden's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Ethan Konrad Knowlden'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 Ethan Konrad Knowlden 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 Knowlden 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 Ethan Konrad Knowlden shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
