[*1]In the Matter of Wenxuan Yang, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 5740618.)

Calendar Date:August 2, 2021

Before:Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch, Clark and Aarons, JJ.

Wenxuan Yang, Bellevue, Washington, 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.
Wenxuan Yang was admitted to practice by this Court in 2019 and lists a business address in Mercer Island, Washington with the Office of Court Administration. Yang 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 Yang's application.
Upon reading Yang's affidavit sworn to June 4, 2021 and filed June 9, 2021, and upon reading the July 26, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Yang is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch, Clark and Aarons, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Wenxuan Yang's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Wenxuan Yang'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 Wenxuan Yang 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 Yang 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
ORDERED that Wenxuan Yang shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
