[*1]In the Matter of Andrew Deannovick, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2675130.)

Calendar Date:May 24, 2021

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

Andrew Dean Novick, Bridgewater, New Jersey, 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.
Andrew Dean Novick was admitted to practice by this Court in 1995 and lists a business address in Bridgewater, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Novick 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 Novick's application.
Upon reading Novick's affidavit sworn to March 22, 2021 and filed March 24, 2021, and upon reading the May 10, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Novick is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Andrew Dean Novick's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Andrew Dean Novick'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 Andrew Dean Novick 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 Novick 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 Andrew Dean Novick shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
