On Oct. 17, Sullivan County attorney Ricky A. W. Curtis received a public censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility. In April 2016, Curtis filed a notice of appeal for a client seeking to appeal a criminal sentence, but did not file a brief in the matter. The court entered an order giving Curtis 20 days to file the brief. He received this order, but did not file a brief. On Feb. 23, the court found that Curtis willfully failed to follow court rules and orders and was in contempt of court.
