The Tennessee Supreme Court last week dismissed a “Notice and Motion for Stay of Proceedings” from Knox County lawyer Mark Steven Graham. The court suspended Graham on May 20 after finding he was in substantial noncompliance with his Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring agreement. Graham had been reinstated in January 2022. Following the suspension, Graham filed the motion for a stay. The court dismissed the motion, finding that Graham’s exclusive remedy is to request dissolution or amendment of the suspension and show that good cause exists for the request.
