State Bar grants written-only communication and accessible electronic format

• May 4, 2026

  Shiptenko granted two accommodations: written-only communication and accessible electronic format documents. He also offered to postpone the reconsideration review until after surgery and recovery if requested, asking the complainant to provide a resume date if he wished to make that request. The written accommodation demand was sent at 6:43 PM on April 21, hours after the Bar admitted the file error and thirteen days before this reply.

  Why it matters: First substantive accommodation grant; the Bar administered accommodations while later disputing ADA coverage.
