The Tennessee Supreme Court recently rejected a petition to dismiss a suspension from Connie Lynn Reguli. On April 22, the court suspended Reguli based on her conviction of certain criminal offenses. A few days later, Reguli petitioned the court to dissolve the suspension arguing that errors occurred during the criminal proceeding that call her conviction into question. She also argued that summary suspension of her license deprived her of due process. The Board of Professional Responsibility recommended that the court reject the petition saying the appeals court, not the disciplinary process, is the appropriate place to resolve the issues raised by Reguli. The court agreed and dismissed the petition on May 2.
