Re:    D0050526750  LaKeith Raqib Sharif Amir - Thomas R. Grett

Dear Mr. Sharif

The Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel of the State Bar of Texas has received your Grievance against the above named lawyer.

Lawyers licensed in Texas are governed by the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, and may only be disciplined when their conduct is in violation of one or more of the disciplinary rules.  After examining your Grievance, this office has determined that the information provided does not allege any disciplinary rule violation on the part of the lawyer.  Accordingly, this Grievance has been classified as an Inquiry and has been dismissed.

You may appeal this determination to the Board of Disciplinary Appeals.  Your appeal must be submitted directly to the Board in writing, using the enclosed form, within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice.

Disciplinary Proceedings, including the investigation and processing of a Complaint, are strictly confidential.  Facts and evidence discoverable elsewhere are not made confidential merely because they are discussed or introduced in the course of a disciplinary proceeding.

The State Bar of Texas maintains the Client-Attorney Assistance Program (CAAP).  You may have already visited with the staff of that program prior to filing your Grievance.  Pursuant to the State Bar Act, all dismissed Grievances (other than where the person complained about is deceased, disbarred, or not a lawyer) are referred to CAAP.  This is not a continuation of the attorney disciplinary process and participation by both you and the attorney is voluntary.  For additional information you may contact CAAP at 1-800-932-1900.

Sincerely,
Charles Royal
Senior Investigator
