The New York Court of Appeals has declined to hear the appeal of attorney John A. Aretakis' one-year suspension for engaging in "undignified and discourteous conduct" toward courts. Aretakis was found to have committed misconduct after being sanctioned by four courts between 2005 and 2008, mostly involving sexual abuse cases against Roman Catholic priests. "This is target practice on a lawyer because I have been involved in a controversial area of law," he said in an interview. "To me, it's a clear injustice."

The New York Court of Appeals has declined to hear the appeal of attorney John A. Aretakis’ one-year suspension for engaging in “undignified and discourteous conduct” toward courts.
Without elaboration, the court denied Aretakis’ motions for an automatic appeal of an Appellate Division, 3rd Department, ruling upholding his recommended suspension on the grounds that there is no substantial constitutional question to review.
