Subject: Receipt of your letter to me dated May 22, 2000

Dear Mr. Hall,

I am in receipt of your letter, via U.S. mail, dated May 22, 2000. I appreciate your response but I am very disappointed that you did not deal with certain concerns that I have raised in my communication to you. I specifically take umbrage to Paragraph three of your letter where you state "Pursuant to the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, a complaining witness is not a party to the disciplinary proceedings and does not have the right to appeal." Mr. Hall, by virtue of The Florida Bar’s undisclosed conflict of interest and their outright lie as the reason for dismissing the complaint at the administrative level, I was never afforded a disciplinary proceeding.

For two years I have been requesting an impartial panel hear my grievance. Why am I not being given my right to an acceptable and impartial panel hear my grievance based on The Florida Bar’s inherent and direct conflict of interest with the respondent attorney Ronald C. Kopplow?

I await a response.

Sincerely,

Meryl L. Lanson
