During the investigation or at the conclusion thereof, the Regulation Counsel may determine that the matter should be diverted to the alternatives to discipline program as provided in C.R.C.P. 251.13.

At the conclusion of an investigation of a matter that has not been diverted, the Regulation Counsel shall either dismiss the allegations or report to the committee for a determination as provided in C.R.C.P. 251.12. If the Regulation Counsel dismisses the allegations as provided herein, the person making the allegations against the attorney in question may request review of the Regulation Counsel’s decision. If review is requested, the committee shall review the matter and make a determination as provided by C.R.C.P. 251.12; provided, however, that the committee shall sustain the dismissal unless it determines that the Regulation Counsel’s determination constituted an abuse of discretion. When the committee sustains a dismissal, it shall furnish the person making the allegations with a written explanation of its determination.

This rule was previously numbered as 241.10.5.
