[*1]In the Matter of Kenneth Keshen Gu, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 4525424)

Calendar Date:August 9, 2021

Before:Lynch, J.P., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ.

Kenneth Keshen Gu, Sugar Land, Texas, 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.
Kenneth Keshen Gu was admitted to practice by this Court in 2007 and lists a business address in Houston, Texas with the Office of Court Administration. Gu 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 Gu's application.
Upon reading Gu's affidavit sworn to June 14, 2021 and filed June 25, 2021, and upon reading the July 27, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Gu is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Lynch, J.P., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Kenneth Keshen Gu's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Kenneth Keshen Gu'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 Kenneth Keshen Gu 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 Gu 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 Kenneth Keshen Gu shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
