Mississippi Bar v. an Attorney
Mississippi Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
This appeal by the Mississippi Bar arises from the dismissal of disciplinary proceedings against an attorney for the Bar's undue delay in pursuing disciplinary actions. The attorney filed a Motion to Dismiss three days prior to the scheduled hearing, which the Complaint Tribunal granted on the grounds that the attorney had been denied a speedy resolution. Finding that the Tribunal was incorrect in applying the factors set forth inBarker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 92 S.Ct. 2182, 33 L.Ed.2d 101 (1972), we reverse and remand for another disciplinary proceeding.
