Rule 7. Transmittal of Recommendation and Review by Supreme Court
a) Within forty-five (45) days after the date of the hearing, the Board shall file with the Clerk of the Supreme Court the complete record of the proceedings, which shall consist of the following:
1) The complaint;
2) The Board's written report and recommendation for or against disciplinary action, and proof of service thereof;
3) All other pleadings, if any;
4) A transcript of the formal disciplinary hearing, if a stenographic recording was made; and
5) All exhibits offered at the hearing.
b) Unless ordered by the Supreme Court, a designation of record will not be required to accompany the materials filed by the Board. An extension of time for preparation of the record may be granted only by order of the Supreme Court, for good cause shown. The Secretary of the Board shall promptly notify the interpreter respondent and the complainant of the completion and transmittal of the record.
c) Either the complainant or the interpreter may, within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice of completion and transmittal of the record, file a brief-in-chief contesting the Board's recommendation or any part thereof. An answer brief may be filed within ten (10) days after the filing of brief-in-chief. A reply brief may be filed within five (5) days after filing of the answer brief.
d) After filing of briefs, if any, the report and recommendations of the Board shall stand submitted to the Supreme Court which may, in its sole discretion, adopt or reject such recommendations in whole or in part, remand with instructions, or make such other disposition as the Supreme Court may deem proper, with or without oral argument or formal written opinion. Either party aggrieved by the decision of the Supreme Court may make application for rehearing as provided by the Rules of the Supreme Court.
e) During the pendency of a formal disciplinary proceeding, if an interpreter allows his or her certificate to be administratively revoked for failure to satisfy renewal or continuing education requirements, such revocation shall be deemed to be equivalent to a resignation pending disciplinary proceeding as provided in Rule 8. Upon such revocation, the Board may elect to discontinue further action in the formal disciplinary proceeding. If the matter has been submitted to the Supreme Court, the Board shall file a notice with the Clerk of the Supreme Court advising of the administrative revocation.
