NOTICE by John B. Thompson of Urgency of Requested Relief (Thompson, John)

Thompson v. The Florida Bar

Doc. 32

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA JOHN B. THOMPSON, Plaintiff, v. THE FLORIDA BAR and DAVA J. TUNIS, Defendants. PLAINTIFF'S NOTICE TO COURT OF URGENCY OF PRAYED FOR RELIEF COMES NOW plaintiff, John B. Thompson, hereinafter Thompson, as an attorney on his own behalf, and provides notice to the court as follows: 1. Plaintiff, not having heard back from the court's clerks re the need to Case No. 07-21256 (Judge Adalberto Jordan)

redundantly haNd-deliver a paper filing with the court, did so late yesterday. Thompson had sought certain discovery so that the court's deliberations as to a preliminary injunction might not be made in an evidentiary vacuum. 2. The Bar is proceeding, improperly to a trial of its "disciplinary" charges against plaintiff the first week in September. Thompson has filed various motions in that regard in this court, including a request for a preliminary injunction on an expedited basis, all of which are going to be mootedby this court's failure to timely afford plaintiff relief or a hearing thereon. 3. Any citizen is entitled to relief, under the federal civil rights laws, from arbitrary and illegal state regulatory action which is remarkable in its denial of due process and other constitutional guarantees. See Pulliam. The Fourteenth Amendment is

not some constitutional artifact that The Bar repealed at some Bar Governors' cocktail party at the Marriott in Orlando. WHEREFORE, plaintiff's notice to the court in these various regards is that The Bar is proceeding pell-mell, denying him due process, causing him irreparable harm, while this court, with all respect, has before it various pleadings dealing with timely relief, none of which has been addressed. If it is the will of this court that The Bar illegally proceed and irreparably harm Thompson, in violation of federal civil rights laws, and in violation of state criminal statutes, then that is the track we are all on, and Thompson will return here with causes of action with greater damages, the opportunity to enjoin this regulatory charade which makes a mockery of The Bar's disciplinary duties, having passed. I HEREBY CERTIFY that a copy hereof has been served upon the defendants, through their counsel, via the court's electronic filing system, this 3rd 2007. day of August,

/s/ JOHN B. THOMPSON, Plaintiff Attorney, Florida Bar #231665 1172 South Dixie Hwy., Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146 Phone: [phone] [e-mail]
