To: The complainant
To / Cc: (as received)
Subject: (April 21 response)

Transcript (redacted):

The full body of this email is not yet backfilled from a clean source in the verified record. The one sentence below is confirmed verbatim and is the load-bearing admission for the rest of the matter:

> “As a result of this misclassification, your submissions were not added to the grievance file at that time.”

What this shows: The Bar’s own counsel admitted in writing that the complainant’s submissions had been misclassified and were not added to the grievance file at the time the dismissal issued.
