Supreme Court of the Northern Mariana Islands

In re Myers

July 15, 20262026 MP 06

Summary

The court held that a disciplinary committee elected by a majority vote of active Bar members need only receive a majority of the votes cast, not affirmative votes from a majority of the entire active membership. Because the committee was validly elected, the trial court erred in dismissing the disciplinary complaint for lack of committee authority. The court declined to decide whether Myers was properly served because that issue depended on unresolved factual questions and remanded for further proceedings.
