Synopsis Grievant filed a grievance against the attorney representing her in a civil matter, protesting the attorney’s actions relating to that civil matter. Grievant is not an employee grieving the actions of her public employer; she is a citizen protesting the actions of her attorney in a civil matter. The Grievance Board lacks jurisdiction in this matter. Accordingly, the grievance must be dismissed.
