Rule 251.11.Determination by the Regulation Counsel 
 During the investigation or at the conclusion thereof, the Regulation Counsel 
 may determine that the matter should be diverted to the alternatives to 
 discipline 
 program as provided in C.R.C.P. 251.13. 
  
 At the conclusion of an investigation of a matter that has not been diverted, 
 the 
 Regulation Counsel shall either dismiss the allegations or report to the 
 committee for a 
 determination as provided in C.R.C.P. 251.12.  If the Regulation Counsel 
 dismisses the 
 allegations as provided herein, the person making the allegations against the attorney in 
 question may request review of the Regulation Counsel's decision.  If 
 review is 
 requested, the committee shall review the matter and make a determination as 
 provided 
 by C.R.C.P. 251.12; provided, however, that the committee shall sustain the 
 dismissal 
 unless it determines that the Regulation Counsel's determination 
 constituted an abuse 
 of discretion.  When the committee sustains a dismissal, it shall furnish the 
 person 
 making the allegations with a written explanation of its determination.
