Thompson v. The Florida Bar

Doc. 400

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. SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINTIFF'S VERIFIED MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM THIS COURT'S ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR FRAUD COMES NOW plaintiff, John B. Thompson, hereinafter Thompson, as an attorney on his own behalf, and supplements his motion to this court for an order, pursuant to Rule 60 (b) (3), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for fraud, misrepresentation, and misconduct of the opposing party, to-wit: It would be nice if this court would move on this already-filed motion with the alacrity that it improperly referred him to the Ad Hoc Grievance Committee. Secondly, attached hereto is an exhibit that is the transcript of a hearing at which The Bar's prosecutor, Lorrainne Hoffmann, states that the immutable rule of the Florida Supreme Court is that a referee must be chosen from another circuit than the responding lawyer. Thompson's referee, the estimable Dava Tunis, was, the last time the plaintiff checked, a Miami-Dade judge. Thus, according to Ms. Hoffmann, Tunis could not sit as Thompson's referee. She was chosen, of course, so that she would jealously protect the reputation of her fellow Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Ron Friedman, who brought a bogus bar Case No. 07-21256 (Judge Adalberto Jordan)

"complaint," which he wouldn't swear to, thereby rendering it an invalid complaint. Thompson leveled the same criticism against this irascible judge that the Third District had uttered. Wherefore, this court must vacate its dismissal order, as The Bar has been caught red-handed in this evidence of bad faith--choosing a judge, Ms. Hoffmann says, who could not preside as Referee. I solemnly swear, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing facts are true, correct, and complete, so help me God. I HEREBY CERTIFY that this has been served upon record counsel this 29th day of August, 2009, by the court's electronic system. /s/ JOHN B.
