The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a lower court's rejection of a lawyer's representation. The lawyer had been suspended from practice while the appeal was pending, rendering him legally incapable of acting as a representative. The court held that because the list of authorized representatives is closed, a suspended lawyer lacks the capacity to perform procedural acts, and such acts cannot be ratified by the client.
