Gibbs framed the complaint, already written probably sometime ago before the new de novo law, in the nature of an appeal,

I haven't read the ruling or his complaint. Did he name a defendant - and if so, who? I'm inferring from your comment that he named Greer, (as an appellee, as it were?)

No, I have to assume he got the parties right. It was just the substance of the complaint that was well, in my opinion based on what I know, legal malpractice.
