What will the disciplinary court do? Will it hold the referee in contempt of court?


My disciplinary court, by orders of September 30, 2014, December 8, 2014 and December 17, 2014 ordered the referee to hear the evidence in my case at the liability stage of the litigation, in other words, to hear the evidence whether I did conduct attorney misconduct.

The Referee acknowledged his obligation to conduct that hearing and to report findings of fact from that hearing to the court (in a recorded conversation with me in the presence of the prosecutor), but refused to abide by those 3 court orders and refused to conduct the hearing.

I wrote a letter to the disciplinary court informing it that the referee refused to obey the court's three orders and refused to conduct the hearing that was court-ordered.

In view of the refusal of the referee to abide by the court orders and to do what the court authorized and ordered him to do, I demanded to appoint another referee, a competent referee who will abide by the court orders and will conduct a hearing on liability, as ordered by orders of my disciplinary court dated September 30, 2014, December 8, 2014 and December 17, 2014.

I am waiting for the written answer from my disciplinary court and will post it on my blog.

A collateral issue will be - will the disciplinary court hold its own court-appointed referee in contempt of court for refusal to abide by three orders ordering him to conduct a hearing on liability and instead for usurping the court's functions of resolving legal issues in the case - without any hearing?

Please, stay tuned as this bad legal thriller keeps developing.
