Hello johnnie1948,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you're referring to the Quick Note feature on your iPad.

Use these steps to disable the feature:

"Change or turn off the corner gesture for Quick Notes

Go to Settings  > Notes > Corner Gestures, then do any of the following:

• Turn on or off Allow Finger to Swipe from Corner.
• Tap Left Corner Swipe or Right Corner Swipe, then choose an action."

Or if it's related to notifications, you can turn those off here:

"Manage notifications

To manage your notifications from the Lock Screen or Notification Center:

1. Swipe left over an alert or group of alerts.
2. Tap Options, then select from these options: 

• Mute for 1 Hour
• Mute for Today
• View Settings
• Turn Off

You can also tap View Settings to change your alert styles or alert settings for a specific app."
