Out of Office. A running log of the State Bar of Georgia’s away messages, and what landed the same day. I am noting the timing. I am not claiming a reason.
June 1, 2026.
I asked the State Bar to confirm it had received a grievance. The next day, the Grievance Counsel handling that side of the file was out of office.
The follow-up was small. It asked only whether a grievance had been received. The reply was an away message from Grievance Counsel Adrienne Nash:
“I will be out of the office June 1-5, 2026. I will be checking my email periodically. If you need immediate assistance please contact Cathe Payne at cathep@gabar.org.”
This one, unlike the April away message, named a backup. It also said she would be checking email periodically. A confirmation of receipt is a one-line answer. It did not come in that window.
The graphic above, as text

Five away messages as of June 26, 2026. Each arrived the same day a request for action did. Dates are from the State Bar of Georgia's own automatic replies. The timing is noted, not a reason.

Status: the away message ran June 1 to 5; the receipt confirmation did not arrive in that window.
Patterns on this page: out-of-office. Each is a recurring pattern in the State Bar record. I am noting the timing, not asserting a reason.
Corrections: this is built from documents I received. If any fact here is incomplete or inaccurate, identify the page, the sentence, and the supporting document, and I will review and correct this page.
If you have been through something like this, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.
