On June 18, 2026, ADA Coordinator John J. Shiptenko acknowledged a grievance filed against him in a single word, “Received.” By June 25 it remained, by the complainant’s account, the only response on any of seven matters open with the State Bar of Georgia, none of which had a disposition.
On April 21, 2026, Assistant General Counsel Leigh Burgess admitted the State Bar of Georgia had received the complainant’s February submissions and misclassified them, leaving them out of the grievance file before the April 10 dismissal.
