Richard W. Gannett v. Board of Bar Overseers

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Gannett’s certiorari action challenging the Board of Bar Overseers’ refusal to reopen his disciplinary proceedings. It held that certiorari could not provide an additional avenue of appellate review for claims Gannett had already raised unsuccessfully, or failed to preserve, in his disbarment appeal. The court therefore did not revisit the merits of his alleged conflict-of-interest, deficient-performance, or due-process arguments.
