Decision Number 697

Decision

Decision 689, which dealt primarily with due process requirements in an involuntary leave of absence situation, did not directly address, nor can the decision be applied to, a pending grievance about which the Judicial Council had no knowledge. However, this grievance (now a complaint) must be dismissed because it violates the prohibition of Par. 2622.5 of the 1992 Discipline which forbids subjecting someone to an administrative or judicial process twice for the same offense. Michael Biklen's status in 1992-93 was involuntary leave of absence and must remain so since there is no mechanism to speculate what would have happened if due process had been followed.
