Ind. Courts - "Complaint against Hammond city attorney dismissed"
An odd story from Pete Nickeas of the NWI Times. As the story relates:
"The complaint was considered by this office and has been dismissed as not raising a substantial question of misconduct that would warrant disciplinary action," wrote G. Michael Witte, executive secretary of the Indiana State Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission."As this grievance was dismissed on its face as not raising a substantial question of misconduct, it does not require any formal response from you."
Requests for investigations normally remain confidential until the Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission decides whether to file a formal complaint against the lawyers in question.
[Complainant] Rocek provided a copy of his complaint to The Times. [Attorney] Kantar provided a copy of Witte's letter. * * *
Kantar criticized Rocek for releasing the complaint before the state agency ruled on its merits.
