Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany (Alison M. Coan of counsel), for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.</p> </div> <span>[*1]</span> <p>Per Curiam.</p> <p>Raymond Charles Rubino was admitted to practice by this Court in 1998 and lists a business address in Florham Park, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Rubino now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (<i>see</i> Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) opposes the application by correspondence from its Deputy Chief Attorney.</p> <p>As is noted by AGC, Rubino is presently delinquent in his New York attorney registration requirements, having failed to register for one biennial period beginning in 2024 (<i>see</i> Judiciary Law § 468-a; Rules of Chief Admr of Cts [22 NYCRR] § 118.1). Inasmuch as Rubino is therefore subject to potential disciplinary action (<i>see </i>Judiciary Law § 468-a [5]; Rules of Prof Conduct [22 NYCRR 1200.0] rule 8.4 [d]; <i>see also Matter of Attorneys in Violation of Judiciary Law § 468-a</i>, 113 AD3d 1020, 1021 [3d Dept 2014]), he is ineligible for nondisciplinary resignation and his application must be denied (<i>see Matter of Cluff</i>, 148 AD3d 1346, 1346 [3d Dept 2017]; <i>Matter of Bomba</i>, 146 AD3d 1226, 1226-1227 [3d Dept 2017]). Further, any future application by Rubino must be supported by proof of his full satisfaction of the requirements of Judiciary Law § 468-a and Rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts (22 NYCRR) § 118.1 (<i>see Matter of Frank</i>, 146 AD3d 1228, 1228-1229 [3d Dept 2017]).</p> <p>Garry, P.J., Reynolds Fitzgerald, Ceresia, Powers and Mackey, JJ., concur.</p> <p>ORDERED that Raymond Charles Rubino's application for permission to resign is denied.</p> </div>
