[*1]In the Matter of Paul Joseph Buser, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2309755.)

Calendar Date:November 14, 2022

Before:Garry, P.J., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Ceresia, JJ.

Paul Joseph Buser, 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.
Paul Joseph Buser was admitted to practice by this Court in 1990 and lists a business address in Scottsdale, Arizona with the Office of Court Administration. Buser 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 Buser's application.
Upon reading Buser's affidavit sworn to June 21, 2022 and filed July 5, 2022, and upon reading the November 14, 2022 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Buser is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Ceresia, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Paul Joseph Buser's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Paul Joseph Buser'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 Paul Joseph Buser 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 Buser 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 Paul Joseph Buser shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
