ATTORNEY FINE DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS (JAIL)

Much as happened (Fine-wise) since we reported that a State Bar judge recommended the disbarment of notorious adjudicated legal bully Richard L. Fine—likened by the State Bar Court to a “gladiator”—and not in a good way.

For one thing, Fine has been disbarred.

For another, Fine has been incarcerated for the last 12 months over his refusal to appear at an Order of Examination and truthfully state what all of his assets are so some of his scorched-earth litigation victims can collect some of the court ordered fines that Fine was ordered to pay.

Then things really went downhill for Fines.

As reported by Legal Pad, quoting the LAT:

“The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Fine's petition to end his confinement. Fine has filed habeas corpus petitions, from his jail cell, at the district, Ninth Circuit and California Supreme Court level. Fine alleges that Yaffe is biased against him because of his work on advocating against judicial perks.

“According to the LAT, Fine intends to continue his battle, despite the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to take up his petition "effectively [puts] an end to his dogged legal quest.”
