On Thursday, September 28, 2023, the Supreme Court of New York’s Appellate Division, Third Judicial Department, granted the resignation of attorney Lindsey Nicole Anderson. Anderson had filed a motion to resign from the New York bar for non-disciplinary reasons, which was opposed by the Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Lindsey Nicole Anderson,” with case no. PM-221-23.
In its decision, the court found that Anderson was eligible to resign for non-disciplinary reasons and granted her application. The court struck her name from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately.
The court also ordered Anderson 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. Anderson was also 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 herself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State.
Finally, the court ordered Anderson to surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her within 30 days of the date of the decision.
The order states:
“ORDERED that Lindsey Nicole Anderson’s application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted.”
According to Avvo, Ms. Anderson attended the University of Oregon School of Law and was admitted to practice in New York in 2022.
