Subject: Response to April 21 Letter
Transcript (redacted):
Counsel Morrison, Counsel Burgess, Mr. Willard, Mr. NeSmith, and Office of the General Counsel:
Attached is my response to the Office’s April 21, 2026 letter. This letter addresses the reconsideration track, including:
(1) Withdrawal of the April 10, 2026 dismissal;
(2) Corrective notice to respondent regarding the dismissal’s status pending reconsideration;
(3) Reclassification of the February 3 and February 20, 2026 submissions as Rule 4-204.3 rebuttals;
(4) [redacted – outside the scope of this record];
(5) [redacted – outside the scope of this record];
(6) Respondent re-service under Ga. Bar Rule 4-204 and Ga. RPC 8.1(b);
(7) Institutional re-look for other complainants whose timely submissions may have been similarly misclassified;
(8) [redacted – outside the scope of this record]; and
(9) Litigation-hold and records-preservation demand.
A separately-transmitted correspondence of the same date addresses the distinct ADA Title II, independence-of-reassignment, and process-integrity matters arising from the April 21 response.
Respectfully,
[the complainant]
What this shows: On the same day the Bar acknowledged the misclassification, the complainant responded asking the Office to withdraw the April 10 dismissal, reclassify the timely submissions as rebuttals, and review whether other complainants’ submissions had been similarly misclassified.
