adult graduations on your senior status and also judge edwards i want to pose this question to the court made please the court i left judicial watch back in two thousand and three i left it in the hands of a non lawyer and there were three particular clients and individuals that were seriously affected when i left one of them was louise benson it was like my surrogate  thousand dollars and pledged fifty to buy an office at judicial watch judicial watch misappropriated that money there was another client peter paul who we had agreed that we would try to help individuals had lawyers but they could not afford to continue on as the head of a public interest group i felt i had an african duty notwithstanding all the legal and factual arguments that we've made in the brief and i'm sure you've read them so i don't need to belabor that professional responsibility and he said that i did not commit an ethics violation this case is now thirteen years old it's probably not another bar in the country that would have a case that would last a lot most of them have either precedent on latches texas statute of limitations so very veiled case i have also served the ninety days in fact i would through from this court and out of respect for that time when i also were true from god does members testified at the disciplinary hearing that he did not refer the matter to bar council because he didn't think it rose to that level is actually referred many lawyers to that level he did not sanction me and when i was disqualified and i actually had advice of counsel that's in the opinion of the d c court of appeals that i was not in fact committing an ethical violation i ceased representing the other two clients as well immediately so i did my obligation i respected judge lambert's order and i moved on but i posed the question here is what judge webber said in his written word the court can simply not judicial watch was being run by none we're confident at the time i felt someone who started off its organization traditional russia had a duty as a matter of last resort to try to help them pro bono but more importantly than that i hope that you will read yes i did you know and given that you did it in response to our were to show us i don't remember the specific timing ok so let me ask you a let me just ask you a fact question are you now standoff ok so that is in court but i've taken no action in those cases but the point is your counsel of record in just the terms of record in which case  obviously withdraw from this case so i respect that but if i may add one other thing sure ok you know i had asked this d c bar council is like everything else unfortunately in a city that we all love let me let me stop this i've heard enough judge edwards do you have any questions i have no question right judge haydel unless you have something you want to follow up on you hold on just one second  it's thirteen years just on the basis of latches alone and the fact that i do respect this court and i do respect the bar i started judicial watch because i believe in ethics in government i respectfully request that i not be given an additional ninety days much like the ny circuit decided not to do because they also entertained order to show cause such as the one from this court but pace is now thirteen years old and i hope you know that he will write something to give advice to the district of columbia bar disciplinary apparatus the cases you know should not linger for thirteen years and be resurrected after eight years and that's what i meant and everybody knows who i am everybody knows on a strong advocate everybody knows
