Conn. Practice Book § 2-32 (2026)

Sec. 2-32 record in the case. (2) If the panel determines that no probable cause exists that the respondent is guilty of misconduct, it shall dismiss the complaint unless there is an allegation in the complaint that the respondent committed a crime. Such dis- missal shall be final and there shall be no review of the matter by the Statewide Grievance Commit- tee, but the panel shall file with the Statewide Grievance Committee a copy of its decision dis- missing the complaint and the materials set forth in subsection (i) (1) (B), (C) and (D). In cases in which there is an allegation in the complaint that the respondent committed a crime, the panel shall file with the Statewide Grievance Committee and with disciplinary counsel its written determination that no probable cause exists and the materials set forth in subsection (i) (1) (B), (C) and (D). These materials shall constitute the panel’s record in the case. (j) The panel may file a motion for extension of time not to exceed thirty days with the Statewide Grievance Committee which may grant the motion only upon a finding of good cause. If the panel does not complete its action on a complaint within the time provided in this section, the Statewide Grievance Committee shall inquire into the delay and shall order that the panel take action on the complaint forthwith, or order that the complaint be forwarded to and heard by another panel or a reviewing committee designated by the Statewide Grievance Committee. (k) The panel shall notify the complainant, the respondent, and the Statewide Grievance Com- mittee of its determination. The determination shall be a matter of public record if the panel determines that probable cause exists that the respondent is guilty of misconduct. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 27F.)
