N RE: APPEAL OF THE DECISION OF THE
DISCIPLINARY BOARD NO. 24-PDB-014
OR
DER
On the showing made, we are unable to determine whether the disciplinary
board acted arbitrarily, capriciously, or unreasonably in approving the dismissal of
the complaint against respondent. Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 30(C). However,
given the allegations made by the complainant s, we believe the disciplinary board
erred in not directing that the matter be investigated further pursuant to Supreme
Court Rule XIX, § 30(A), particularly as relates to respondent’s obligations under
Rule 4.3 of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Accordingly, this matter is remanded
to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to conduct further investigation pursuant to
Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 11(B).
