Text: Kessler asserts that this matter should be dismissed because the Trial Panel failed to file its report within thirty days as required by Rule 6.13. The Trial Panel filed its report eighty days after the hearing had concluded. No extension was requested. This issue was decided in State ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Assoc. v. Bradley, 746 P.2d 1130, 1133 (Okla. 1987), in which we held that although we do not condone such a delay, such delay in and of itself does not divest this Court of jurisdiction. Here, as in Bradley, we disapproved of the delay in filing the report. However, because we do not find that Kessler was prejudiced by this delay, the motion to dismiss is denied.
