High court denies Randall appeal in disbarment case
The Iowa Supreme Court refused Cedar Rapids attorney John Randall Sr. a rehearing on his disbarment ordered last month. Nine justices rejected the petition, with Chief Justice W Ward Reynoldson noting the decision and offering little elaboration. Randall, 80, had argued lack of due process and unclear ethical rules at the time. He may still pursue a U S Supreme Court appeal.
