`Respondent.
`
`Before SEITZ, Chief Justice: VALIHURA and VAUGHN,Justices.
`
`PER CURIAM:
`
`ORDER
`
`Onthis 7" day of September 2022,it appears to the Court that:
`
`(1)
`
`On August 10, 2022, the Court ordered the immediate transfer of
`
`respondent, Meghan M.Kelly, Esquire, to disability inactive status. Since issuance
`
`of that order, Kelly hasfiled the following in this Court: (i) a motion to unseal the
`
`record, declare the self-regulation of attorneys, other professions, and judges
`unconstitutional, and eliminate thesecrettrial requirements of professionals before
`
`boards (“Motion to Unseal”); (ii) a motion to exceed the word limit for the Motion
`
`to Unseal; (iii) a motion to extend the timeto file her motion for reargument and
`correct her mistaken belief (“Motion for Extension”); (iv) a motion to declare the
`
`reporting requirements for discipline proceedings unconstitutional (“Motion to
`
`Declare Reporting Requirements Unconstitutional”); (v) a motion to exceed the
`
`word limit for the Motion to Declare Reporting Requirements Unconstitutional; (vi)
`
`

`

`a motion for reargument of the Court’s August 10, 2022 order placing her on
`
`disability inactive status (“Motion for Reargument”);
`
`(vii) a motion to stay
`
`scheduling and extend the timeto file a letter about preventing an economic crash
`
`and any replies to responses to her motions (“Motionto Stay Scheduling”); (viii) a
`
`motion to waiverecord,transcript fees, and court costs for this Court’s preparation
`and transfer of the record as required by other courts (“Motion to Waive Fees and
`
`Costs”); (ix) a motion in responseto the Office of Disciplinary Counsel’s (““ODC”)
`
`response to the Motion to Unseal, which the Court treats as Kelly’s reply in support
`
`of the Motion to Unseal; and (x)aletter advising the Court of herbeliefs, a letter
`
`concerning herstatus as an attorney in severalfederal courts,a letter expressing her
`
`concernsabout the Federal Reserve and an economiccrash, andaletter requesting
`
`additional
`
`time to respond to ODC’s response to the Motion to Unseal (“the
`
`Letters”’).
`
`(2)
`
`The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) does not opposeKelly’s
`
`request to unsealthe record and waive confidentiality under the Delaware Lawyers’
`
`Rulesof Disciplinary Procedure. The Court addresses each of Kelly’s filings as set
`
`forth below.
`
`(3)
`
`(4)
`
`The motions to exceed the word limits are granted.
`
`The Motion to Unseal is granted in part. The filings in this Court
`
`proceeding, whichexist in electronic format on File & ServeXpress, and the Board
`
`

`

`on Professional Responsibility record, which exists in paper format, shall be
`
`unsealed. The remainder of the Motion to Unscalis without merit and is denied.
`
`The Motion for Extension is denied as moot. Kelly requested a sixty-
`(5)
`day extensionto file her motion for reargumentin a motion docketed on August 18,
`2022, but then filed a timely motion for reargument docketed on August 22, 2022.
`
`The Court has accepted Kelly’s correction of the mistaken belief she expressed in
`
`her Motion to Unsceal.
`
`(6)
`
`The Motion to Declare Reporting Requirements Unconstitutionalis
`
`without merit and must be denied.
`
`(7)

`
`The Motion to Stay Scheduling is denied.
`
`The Court has received
`
`Kelly’s letter regarding an economic crash. The Court doesnot require any further
`
`responsesorreplies in this matter. Throughout most ofher motions and letters, Kelly
`
`repeats and reargues claims already addressed in the Court’s August 10, 2022
`
`decision or outside the scope ofthis disability proceeding.
`
`(9)
`
`The Motion to Waive Fees and Costs is granted. If the United States
`
`Supreme Court or another court requires this Court to prepare and transmit the record
`
`in this matter to that court, the Court will do so at no financial cost to Kelly.
`
`(10) To the extent the Letters request action by the Court, those requests are
`
`denied.
`
`

`

`(11) Kelly’s numerous,repetitive, and often irrelevant filings are placing an
`
`undue burden on the Clerk’s Office. With onc exception as set forth below, the
`
`Clerk of the Court is directed to refuse any further filings from Kelly in this matter.
`
