Steven Zayas booted again - after I blogged about his employment

I wrote on this blog about the disciplinary attorney who committed fraud upon the court by charging me with neglect of clients (not appearing at a deposition and not answering a motion) at the time I was not an attorney - and insisting upon the charges when I provided to him court documents, the transcript of the deposition and the motion, dated 2008, when I was admitted to the bar in 2009.

Zayas stubbornly insisted on prosecuting me for this fraudulent charge.

Up until he was booted from the disciplinary committee for falsifying time sheets.

No discipline has befallen him, though.

On the opposite, he was picked up by a powerful law firm that employees senators, former judges and law clerks and that "serves" in multiple organizations that organize backroom meetings with judges to discuss, no doubt, how to promote the excellence of the legal profession.

In 2013, before his disgraceful departure from the disciplinary committee, my husband Frederick J. Neroni sued Zayas.

The court, Judges Kahn and Peebles, first allowed the litigation against Zayas to proceed, and then, when the potential drinker Gary Sharpe (the then Chief Judge) interfered and imposed an anti-filing injunction upon my husband based on the still pending Zayas case, Kahn "changed his mind" and dismissed the claims against Zayas.

Then, things got messed up.

A Commission for Attorney Discipline was created and made a report that was tracking the very same complaint in my husband's case that was dismissed as "incoherent".

A New York court made a decision exactly tracking what Mr. Neroni (and I on his behalf) said in the lawsuit and Judge Kahn claimed it was unreasonable to say that.

I filed a motion to vacate the dismissal of the lawsuit against Mr. Zayas on October 1, 2015.

On October 11, 2015 I posted a blog about Mr. Zayas' interesting employment with a powerful law firm that hires public officials as live shields - by the way, a criminal trial against one of such live shields is going on in Albany as we speak (the Sheldon Silver trial).

Then, at the end of October 2015, I requested and was granted by the court an extension of time to file a Rule 11 (sanctions) motion against Mr. Zayas.

Today, I checked out Mr. Zayas' attorney registration.

Guess what - Zayas is no longer with the "live shield firm".  The firm got rid of the ballast.

He is now toiling in the New York State Department of Temporary & Disability Services, possibly, falsifying his time sheets there now, so instead of the partners of the "live shield" firm, us the taxpayers are now saddled, once again, with the upkeep of Mr. Zayas.

But my question is - why was Zayas booted so quickly after I filed the motion and ran a blog?  Because exposure was hurting his employer's reputation?  Or, because the court that favors the employer by having it sitting on various out-of-court "committees" and other organizations where judges of the court and court personnel are participating as "officers" made a direct order to boot him?

And when will the disciplinary committee finally permanently disable Zayas' law license for his fraudulent investigations and prosecutions - fulfilling the promise of the 3rd Department's disciplinary attorney Monica Duffy to the NYS Statewide Commission of Attorney Discipline that her committee does not engage in selective non-prosecutions of prosecutors...

I am waiting.
