                         ADMONITION

      investigation of a grievance shows misconduct.

      admonition by filing a notice to that effect with the
      Clerk within 30 days of service of the admonition.
      Upon receipt of a timely protest, the admonition is
      rescinded, and the grievance is deemed ordered to
      hearing.
