Shannon v. Marshall
After his criminal convictions and sentence were affirmed in full, plaintiff Mychael Tyrone Shannon sued defendant Gregory Marshall, his appointed appellate attorney, for legal malpractice in failing to raise numerous issues on appeal. Shannon appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted Marshalls motion for summary judgment. The sole issue on appeal here is whether the trial court erred in lifting its stay of the malpractice proceedings while Shannons collateral habeas proceeding is still pending. Court conclude that the trial court erred in lifting the stay prematurely. Accordingly, Court shall reverse the judgment.
