This case presents a legal issue that has been settled by this Court in several Opinions. We are therefore left to wonder why a long standing member of this Honorable Supreme Court Bar would elect to waste the Court’s time by raising the same issue on appeal. This speaks to the fact that despite many pleas from this Court requiring that lawyers acquaint themselves with Opinions of this Court, they have deliberately chosen not to be au courant with the Court’s Opinions, or it is a scheme by lawyers to bring up settled issues before this Court on appeal as a means to deliberately delay and baffle the settlement of proceedings in the court below. The Code of Moral and Professional Ethics of lawyers provides in Rule 31 that a lawyer’s appearance in court should be deemed equivalent to an assertion on his honor that in his opinion his client’s case is one proper for judicial determination.

The facts as the certified records reveal are that the late Edmond D. Cisco purchased a half (1/2) lot of land lying and situated in Larkpazee community, Sinkor, Monrovia from Africanus L.M. Mapleh in 1974. Edmond D. Cisco died intestate and upon his death, one of the six children born out of his body, Joshua Cisco, obtained Letters of Administration from the Monthly and Probate Court for Montserrado County authorizing him to administer the intestate of his late father. The said letters of administration was issued to Joshua Cisco on September 13, 2017. Based on the authority conferred on him as administrator of the intestate estate of Edmond D. Cisco, Joshua Cisco obtained Court’s Decree of Sale and thereafter conveyed the half (1/2) lot of land acquired by the late Edmond D. Cisco in 1974 to the appellee herein, Mount Sanai Tabernacle. This conveyance was made on August 14, 2018, and an Administrator’s Deed issued as evidence thereof.
