Filing 403

SUPPLEMENT to 401 Plaintiff's MOTION to Vacate Dismissal Order by John B. Thompson. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit State filing showing fraud)(Thompson, John)

Thompson v. The Florida Bar

Doc. 403

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, INCLUDING LEGAL AUTHORITY, TO PLAINTIFF'S RULE 60(d)(3) MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM THIS COURT'S ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR FRAUD ON THE COURT COMES NOW plaintiff, John B. Thompson, hereinafter Thompson, as an attorney on his own behalf, and provides this court this supplement to his Rule 60 (d) (3), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, motion for relief from its order of dismissal, on the basis of fraud on the court, stating: This court asked about the "bad faith" of The Florida Bar as a basis to defeat abstention. If the attached Petition for Reinstatement, filed this day with the Florida Supreme Court, does not constitute abstention-defeating bad faith not just by The Bar but by its parent entity, the Florida Supreme Court, on whose behalf it acted in this case and elsewhere, then there is no such thing as bad faith. We can ask The Honorable Alan Schwartz about that, too. Further, if this court thinks that this instant case, dismissed by this court, was mooted by the conclusion of the state disciplinary proceedings, it was not. Plaintiff can proceed against the various defendants, herein for damages resulting from their demonstrable fraud, and any other reasonable relief. Case No. 07-21256 (Judge Adalberto Jordan)
