Got a curiosity here. Maybe its nothing but I’m gonn ask.
When Scruggs and Backstrom disbarred, Supreme Court docket had basic steps:
1) Notice of Retention by the Supreme Court
2) Case Submitted without Oral Argument
3) Within a week, Motion to Disbar/Grant Other Relief filed
4) Within a month, Order entered, disbarred.

How come Ed Peter’s docket seems to have stopped in time? No final Order entered on Motion.

Where’s the rest? Where’s the Order? Why does the docket have nothing since case was submitted 3 MONTHS ago.
