Thompson v. The Florida Bar

Filing 57

NOTICE by John B. Thompson (Verified) Re Bar's Bad Faith and Prosecutorial Misconduct (Thompson, John)

Thompson v. The Florida Bar

Doc. 57

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. Case No. 07-21256 (Judge Adalberto Jordan)

VERIFIED NOTICE TO COURT COMES NOW plaintiff, John B. Thompson, hereinafter Thompson, as an attorney on his own behalf, and provides this admittedly unusual notice to this court as follows: 1. The first shoe to drop this week was proof, found in the filed Forensic

Psychological Evaluation of Thompson by the highly regarded Dr. Oren Wunderman, that The Bar has acted in "bad faith" in demanding that a resolution of this disciplinary fiasco depends upon Thompson's submission to a forced evaluation by The Bar after he pleads guilty. 2. The second shoe just fell. Thompson today took the deposition of Alabama Judge James Moore who admitted under oath that Thompson in fact gave the Alabama State Bar more information about his disciplinary history in achieving pro hac vice status there than he was required under Alabama law to provide! The Florida Bar for over a year has said just the opposite, and it has refused to answer Thompson's formal discovery in the disciplinary matter as to "What did he fail to disclose?", as required by Alabama law, and now we all know the answer to that question: Nothing.

3. The Florida Bar can now be shown, irrefutably, to have relied upon perjury by the SLAPP complainants in this regard, which proves prosecutorial misconduct so grave as to cry out for criminal investigation and prosecution of certain individuals at The Florida Bar who knew that the cornerstone assertion of The Bar's assault upon Thompson, first alleged by Take-Two's Blank Rome lawyers, was a lie. 4. Thompson burdens this federal court with this disclosure on the eve of the hearing Thursday on his motion for preliminary injunction to assert, with all respect, that the "bad faith" burden has now been met by Thompson, which The Bar's own counsel admits to this court can lead to such preliminary injunctive relief. 5. The likelihood, now, with this testimony of Alabama's Judge Moore, that Thompson will ultimately prevail and secure a permanent injunction, in light of this gross prosecutorial misconduct, is overwhelming. I SOLEMNLY AFFIRM, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, THAT THE FOREGOING FACTS ARE TRUE, SO HELP ME GOD. I HEREBY CERTIFY that this has been served upon record counsel this 21ST day of August, 2007, electronically. /s/ JOHN B.
