Received.
What this shows: The Bar confirmed in one word that it received the grievance the complainant had filed the day before.
What this does not show: This reply provides no complaint number, no assigned reviewer, no ADA Coordinator contact for access complaints, and no description of how the Bar screens a grievance about one of its own officials; it was sent to the complainant alone.
John J. Shiptenko Acknowledged the Grievance Filed Against Him in One Word: “Received.”
