Text: Lesyshen was appointed to represent C.S. in an appeal from a juvenile court order terminating C.S.'s parental rights. Lesyshen filed a notice of appeal, but she failed to pursue the appeal, resulting in its dismissal pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.19. Lesyshen claims she was unable to contact her client. The joint stipulation is silent as to how Lesyshen was able to initially contact C.S. to sign the notice of appeal, but could not reach her client shortly thereafter. C.S. requested that her appeal be reinstated, and the supreme court did so, and ordered the district court to replace Lesyshen. Lesyshen did not respond to the Board's notices of complaint.
