Narrative Opinion Summary
Warren Redlich, an attorney admitted to practice in New York in 1995, applied for leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons. The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department opposed his application, noting that Redlich was delinquent in his attorney registration, having failed to register for the 2021 biennial period. This delinquency subjects him to potential disciplinary action, rendering him ineligible for a nondisciplinary resignation. The court referenced previous cases that support this position and concluded that any future resignation application must demonstrate compliance with registration requirements. The court unanimously denied Redlich’s application for resignation.
