The case is entitled “In the Matter of Gavin Robert Tisdale,” with case no. PM-158-24.
Tisdale had applied to resign under Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters 1240.22(a), which allows attorneys to withdraw from practice for nondisciplinary reasons. The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department did not oppose Tisdale’s application.
