Thompson v. The Florida Bar Doc. 313 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA JOHN B. THOMPSON, Plaintiff, v. THE FLORIDA BAR and DAVA J. TUNIS, JOHN HARKNESS, AND FRANK ANGONES, Defendants. PLAINTIFF'S SUPPLEMENTAL LEGAL AUTHORITY COMES NOW plaintiff, John B. Thompson, (Thompson) an attorney on his own behalf, and files this supplemental legal authority in opposition to defendants' motios to dismiss, stating: The attached case of In Re Ruffalo, 390 US 544 (1968), holds that state bar disciplinary proceedings must grant a lawyer certain basic due process, such as knowing with specificity what the charges are! Thompson has never been told what he has done that has violated our state Bar's Code of Professional Responsibility. He has been told by The Bar: Here are the Rules, here are your letters. You figure it out. Ruffalo holds that Thompson is entitled to far more than that. Thompson has been denied the most basic due process, which defeats any request for abstention. I hereby certify that the foregoing has been provided to opposing counsel through the court's obscenity-free electronic filing system, this November 8, 2007. /s/ JOHN B. THOMPSON, Plaintiff Attorney, Florida Bar #231665 1172 South Dixie Hwy., Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146 Phone: 305-666-4366 Case No. 07-21256 (Judge Adalberto Jordan) 1 Dockets.Justia.com
