The Office approves postponing the reconsideration decision until June 15, 2026, to allow time after hand surgery to submit additional materials.

A short scheduling exchange: an 11:30 meeting is offered, then withdrawn as sent in error, with requests for more time to review the complainant’s correspondence.

The Deputy General Counsel states the State Bar is not a public entity, is not required to publish an ADA Coordinator, and suggests the disability-access request is aimed at a substantive outcome.

The ADA Coordinator responds point-by-point to the complainant’s listed access concerns and offers to limit communications to two contacts.

The Office answers five operational questions about how grievances are routed, screened by alphabetical assignment of the respondent’s surname, and how evidence is filed.

The Office grants written-only communication and accessible-format accommodations, offers to postpone review until after surgery, and routes procedural questions to grievance counsel.

A Senior Assistant General Counsel identifies himself as ADA Coordinator for the reconsideration and states the Office does not need further participation from the complainant at this stage.

The Office admits in writing that the complainant’s February rebuttal materials were received but misclassified and left out of the file before the grievance was dismissed.
