IN RE: Daniel Raymond HEALY (2024)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON MOTION

Daniel Raymond Healy was admitted to practice by this Court in 1999 and lists a business address in Groton, Connecticut with the Office of Court Administration.  Healy has applied to this Court, by affidavit sworn to March 15, 2024, for leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22[a]).  The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) opposes the application, contending that Healy is ineligible for nondisciplinary resignation because he has failed to fulfill his attorney registration requirements for the most recent biennial period beginning in 2023 (see Judiciary Law § 468–a;  Matter of Lee, 148 A.D.3d 1350, 1350, 47 N.Y.S.3d 923 [3d Dept. 2017];  Matter of Bomba, 146 A.D.3d 1226, 1226–1227, 46 N.Y.S.3d 433 [3d Dept. 2017];  Rules of Chief Admr of Cts [22 NYCRR] § 118.1).

In reply to AGC's opposition, however, Healy has submitted a supplemental affidavit, sworn to May 7, 2024, in which he attests that he is now current in his New York attorney registration requirements.  Furthermore, Office of Court Administration records likewise establish that Healy has duly registered and cured any preexisting registration delinquency.  Accordingly, with AGC voicing no other substantive objection to his application, and having determined that Healy is now eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons (compare Matter of Tierney, 148 A.D.3d 1457, 1458, 51 N.Y.S.3d 638 [3d Dept. 2017];  Matter of Bomba, 146 A.D.3d at 1227, 46 N.Y.S.3d 433), we grant the application and accept his resignation.

ORDERED that Daniel Raymond Healy's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted;  and it is further

ORDERED that Daniel Raymond Healy'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 Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22[b]);  and it is further

ORDERED that Daniel Raymond Healy 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 Healy 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 Daniel Raymond Healy shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.

Per Curiam.
