A Ninth Circuit Court Stay Order in a disbarment case provides a new twist in a ten-year legal battle for the beleaguered Anti-Trust attorney Richard I Fine who has been held in solitary confinement in the L.A. County Central Mens Jail since March 4, 2009. Fine was sentenced indefinitely, without bail or hearing date, for civil contempt of court, by L A Superior Court Judge David Yaffe for refusing to comply with a court order. At his March 4, 2009 Superior Court sentencing hearing, (No. 109420) Mr. Fine attempted to disqualify Judge David Yaffe from sitting the case noting he had been receiving payments from L. A. County, an interested party in the case (Marina Strand Colony Homeowners Assn. vs. County of L.A.) A transcript of Mr. Fine's court testimony, under oath is available at this URL: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/FineContemptTranscript3-4-09.pdf. Mr. Fine also cited the October 10, 2008 Fourth District Court of Appeals ruling in Sturgeon vs County of L.A. (No. D050802) that held the payments by the County to the Judge were illegal. A copy of the ruling is available here: http://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/2008/sturgeon-v-losangeles-ruling.pdf.
