GM was down $2.08, or 6.28 percent, at $31.05 after Jerome York resigned from the automaker's board following the company's failure to form an alliance with Japan's Nissan Motor Co. and France's Renault SA. York has been an ally with dissident shareholder Kirk Kerkorian, whose Tracinda Corp. has a 9.9 percent stake in GM. Kerkorian has been agitating for change at the troubled company.<end>
