About Those Winds Again...

Late last week, I wrote about the case of Nathan DeLadurantey, who received a public reprimand for offensive personality involving harassment of a subordinate lawyer.

A reader alerted me to the fact that the decision (which I linked to) appeared to be gone from the Supreme Court Website, and, in fact it is. I checked the court website and learned that as of July 2, the Court withdrew the opinion and will issue a revised one “in due course.” While I have seen courts reconsider or clarify opinions (and they can do so sua sponte) I’ve never seen one withdrawn and removed from the website.

While we can’t tell from the court record exactly what the Court intends to revise, the fact that the opinion was wholesale withdrawn and taken down suggests something bigger than correcting a typo.

Stay tuned…things may get a little bumpy…
