As a result, Ms. Nesbitt appeared in court by herself and sought another continuance. Evidently, judgment was entered by default because of Ms. Nesbitt’s failure to prosecute the case. On the following day, Ms. Nesbitt wrote a letter to the judge of the Maryland court explaining the history of her case. Subsequently, the Maryland court vacated the default judgment and reset the matter for trial. The Maryland judge also referred the matter to the Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland, which, upon discovering that Respondent was not admitted in Maryland, forwarded the file to the District of Columbia disciplinary system. The small claims case eventually went to trial, and Ms. Nesbitt recovered approximately $265.00.
