The Fifth Circuit Civil News per Robert McKnight found and reported today on this interesting Fifth Circuit decision (link):
The Court also released this notable unpublished decision: In re Moity, No. 08-30826 (5th Cir. April 7, 2009) (Smith, Stewart and Southwick) (per curiam; unpublished): The district court disbarred Moity for one year in W.D. La. “for his conduct towards a judicial law clerk during a telephone conversation, for making misrepresentations to the court during a contempt hearing, and for impugning the integrity of two federal judges in a prior brief before this court.” Holding: Affirmed. ” … Moity’s disbarment is supported by clear and convincing evidence.” (Appeal from W.D. La.)
