The first glaring question to me is did the death of Michael Jackson cause the bankruptcy of Dr. Arnold Klein and if so, what does that say about the prescriptions that were being handed out to stay close to Jackson?

March 10, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein Status Report on his pending bankruptcy. (174) This filing is interesting because it states in part; “Dr. Arnold Klein is often referred to as and considered the father of modern cosmetic dermatology”. Arnold Klein has also filed bankruptcy in his medical corporation which is a separate case before this same court. Arnold “believes that some or all of his financial obligations were incurred as a result of fraud and/or embezzlement perpetrated by his former accountant and office manager…” It also gives us a peek into the Dr. Conrad Murray state criminal trial by stating; “Dr. Klein plans to retain the Law Offices of Garo B. Ghazarian as his criminal attorneys in connection with a subpoena issued to compel Klein’s deposition in connection with a state court criminal case. Klein also gives up a view into the rich and famous and what cutting back is to them. Be sure to read page 8 on the three properties, lawn and pool service, eat, drink and be merry and care takers for the two he does not live in. Not the normal bankruptcy here.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule A Real Property (213) This document lists Klein’s three homes, the value and how much he still owes on each one.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule B Personal Property (203) This is well worth a read, talking about arrogant millionaires. This lists every painting, a crystal panda bear, how things are framed, value, and where Klein bought them from. A GREAT advertisement for places like Christies and I would say not to expect this to go on sale in a yard or garage sale or even on an auction block. This to me was the best read of these papers filed.

I doubt that we will ever know what the Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate vs. Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Susan M. Brown et all, is going to end. I am willing to bet something is going on behind the scenes.

May 13, 2011 Anna Nicole Smith Estate files Joint Status Report NO Dates Available (315) On behalf of all of the parties Executor’s attorneys have filed a Status requested by the judge of the Federal Court in South Carolina as to what dates in August and September are the parties ready to go to trial because this has been pending about 3 years now, and the judge wanted to start jury selection on July 28, 2011. It appears from the filing that there are three days available in August and three days in September available for all of the parties and those dates are no where near each other.

There is no ruling on the money the Estate says Susan M. Brown owes the Estate. We have the ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court is due out by the last Monday of June 2011, but how could the parties NOT think the judge was ready to go on the South Carolina case? Whatever is up, we will never know UNLESS the judge issues an order of be here on this date or else. I doubt that will happen because the Court had already stated that it could send an Order out scheduling the trial to start at a later date then September. So what do you think the judge is going to do?

In a telephone hearing today in the South Carolina Federal Court Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III made the following rulings after TELEPHONE CONFERENCE with the parties and counsel.

1. Howard K. Stern on behalf of the Estate for Anna Nicole Smith had agreed to the Attorney of Record to Withdraw and the Memorandum for reasons to withdraw be sealed The Court Agreed and Ordered that the reason be sealed and Susan M. Brown’s current attorney can and as of today has withdrawn from the case.

2. Stern offered to give The Brown Law Offices and Susan M. Brown thirty days to seek new counsel. Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III ruled Brown had only ten (10) days to find new counsel or would represent herself Pro Se.

3. Smith’s Estate had offered a “reasonable period of time for the Brown defendants to have discovery”. Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III ruled that; “Court will stay scheduling deadlines for a period of 10 days

4. The Estate says the only Motion currently pending before the court is the amount of attorneys fees that Brown and her firm owes for the Contempt proceedings, no ruling on that was made today. L. Lin Wood, Luke Lantta and Nicole Jennings Wade, lead attorneys are optimistic that a mediated settlement is possible but has not happened to date, therefore if necessary the Estate is ready for final Pretrial Motions to be filed and then a jury trial.

Thompson II, Gina Ford, High Profile Trials, Hollywood, Howard K Stern, L. Lin Wood, Law Offices of Susan M. Brwon P. C., Lin Wood, Luke Lantta, Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers III, Melanie Thompson, Nicole Jennings Wade, Nicole Jennings Wade Esq., South Carolina Federal Court, Susan M. Brown, Susan M. Brown Esq.

What started out as the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. Ford Shelley, Gina Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gaither Thompson and Melanie Thompson, or known as the Shelley and Thompson Clan of South Carolina. The people who broke into Horizons in the Bahamas and then allegedly sold a lot of tapes and pictures to TMZ (remember the Methadone refrigerator picture), Splash (including the tasteless picture of Daniel Smith in his casket), tons of videos to Fox News including On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera Live, and the list goes on and on. Ford was one of the first to holler, Howard K. Stern did something to Daniel and Anna Nicole Smith, and the first at the trial to say Howard never hurt Anna……… so much for credibility. The question is though where is the money that all of that sold for????

Then enters what has become the big fish, Susan M. Brown Esq., Georgia Attorney and the Susan M. Brown Law Office, did this poor woman get left holding the bag and with the O’Quinn law firm dissolved there is no one to hand it off too. Kind of like playing musical chairs and the one left standing alone when the music stops, that would be Susan M. Brown.

Brown has tap danced for two years with the same song just different steps until she finally had a Northern District of Georgia Federal Court say she had waived the attorney client privilege under the crime fraud act…… NOT good for a lawyer’s resume, not to mention the State Bar of Georgia.

Any Objections to Susan M. Brown’s current lawyers, Joseph C. Wilson IV. and Carl E. Pierce II of Pierce, Herns, Sloan & McLeod LLC, has filed to withdraw as counsel for “the Brown Defendants”, stating it would not cause any prejudice because “the discovery concerning the Brown Defendants has not begun”. Do what??? The court ruled a long time ago that because Brown has been present for all of those depositions there would not be that much extra to tidy up the suit and have it ready for trial.

However the big WHAM in the March 2, 2011 filings is asking and filing the Motion to Withdraw with the grounds set out to substantiate the withdrawing should be in a Memorandum in Support filed UNDER SEAL “Counsel is not aware of any other means to communicate the grounds for withdrawal that would protect the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship and avoid undue prejudice to the Brown Defendants.”

However the case they quote as outweighing the right of the public right to know (I. E. the News media) on its own raises red flags of the potential seriousness of these actions. In the Knight case it states; “we explained that, while a district court has a supervisory power over its own records and may, in its discretion, seal documents if the public’s right of access is outweighed by competing interests, the presumption in such cases favors public access. The public’s right of access to judicial records and documents may be abrogated ONLY IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Accordingly before a district court may seal any court documents, we held that it must 1) provide public notice of the request to seal and allow interested parties a reasonable opportunity to object. (That date was March 21, 2011 per the South Carolina Federal Court’s Docket). 2) consider less drastic alternatives to sealing the documents, and 3) provide specific reasons and factual findings supporting its decision to seal the documents and for rejecting the alternatives.”

The Motion ends that “Counsel will submit the Memorandum in Support of the Motion to Withdraw to the Court for the Court’s in camera review and shall not file same until further notice from the Court.

Well folks I don’t think there will be any jury selection starting tomorrow, and as of midnight there has been no objections or request for a hearing on the filing being done under seal…

So what do you think Susan M. Brown needs to be protective from “avoid undue prejudice”?

As soon as we have the Court’s decision, and new dates for jury selection will post it, it is noticeable that no lawyer has filed to just transfer the case to them, as new attorney of record, things that make you go Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I have met Mr. L. Lin Wood Jr. briefly in 2009 and I have listened via phone as both Mr. Wood and Mr. Neal McCabe argued Motions in the Harris County Court. However I have never had the privilege of seeing any of these attorneys, L. Lin Wood, Charles “Chip” Babcock, Harry Susman, etc. argue a Motion in person.

For anyone who would like to see L. Lin Wood in a court room this Bryant v. Cox Enterprises video is a must see.

On February 9, 2011 Mr. Wood argued the case of Bryant v. Cox Enterprises in front of the Georgia Appeals Court. The state Court of Appeals’ justices hearing this case is presiding Judge J.D. Smith, who is hearing the case along with Judge Charles B. Mikell and Judge Stephen L. A. Dillard

This case is now the estate of Richard Jewell vs The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Following the death of Mr. Jewell the case became titled Bryant v Cox Enterprises. The official plaintiff in this case is now G. Watson Bryant Jr., Jewell’s former attorney, who was designated executor of Jewell’s estate in his will. Cox Enterprises is the owner of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“I have sought justice for Richard Jewell for 14 years,” Wood told the judges.

Jewell was cleared of the Olympic Park bombing that killed one person and injured more than 100. In 2005, Eric Robert Rudolph confessed to the bombing and was sent to prison for life. Richard Jewell has since died of heart problems from a complication of his diabetes.

The estate of Richard Jewell is continuing to press the late security guard’s libel claims against the newspaper. At issue are stories published in July and August 1996 in which the newspaper reported that authorities suspected Jewell of planting the Olympic park bomb and believed he made an anonymous 911 call warning of an impending bombing. Jewell’s estate also is pressing a libel claim over a column by a Journal-Constitution sports writer that drew parallels between the investigations of Jewell and Wayne Williams, a convicted killer long considered the perpetrator of the Atlanta child murders.

Bryan Cave partner L. Lin Wood Jr., who has pursued the lawsuit against the Journal-Constitution since 1997, told the panel of Court of Appeals judges that statements in the newspaper’s articles were simply false. “We now know that Richard Jewell did not plant the bomb,” he said, saying the same was true for allegations about the 911 call. For those of us who did not follow the case of Richard Jewell and the allegations against him, Wood drew a mental picture during his argument of the horrors of that day before the appeals court including playing the audio of the anonymous 911 call and placing the words of the call on a screen. “You have just heard … the voice of someone you know is a cold-blooded killer,” Wood told the judges.

The newspaper filed a motion for summary judgment in December 1998—a motion on which Fulton County State Court Judge John R. Mather did not rule until late 2006. The appellate court had previously ruled that Jewell was a limited public figure, meaning Jewell had to prove that the newspaper acted with actual malice or reckless disregard of the truth.

Squarely at issue in the appeal heard Wednesday was Mather’s grant of summary judgment to the Journal-Constitution on all but one of Jewell’s libel claims in October 2006. Mather, ruled that the Aug. 4, 1996 story could be libelous because by then the Journal-Constitution had learned Jewell could not have made the 911 call and discovered the bomb moments later because of the distance between the two points.

Jewell’s legal team took the unusual step of all but acquiescing to the grant of summary judgment on that claim on the notion that to have the appellate courts consider Mather’s summary judgment rulings now would make multiple trials less likely. Wood’s decision to go all in with the appellate courts, rather than go to trial on Jewell’s claim over the Aug. 4 story, may mean a trial in the case never happens.

On the Aug. 4 Journal-Constitution story, Justice Smith wanted to know more about the column referencing Williams. Peter C. Canfield of Dow Lohnes, the newspaper’s longtime lead attorney on the case told the judges that the column didn’t say Jewell was guilty and the column suggested that investigators searching his mother’s apartment weren’t finding any evidence. Justice Smith asked, “you’re saying Journal-Constitution copy editors—who testified in depositions that they had expressed concern about the column before it ran—had no reason for concern?” Canfield responded that “Their concern was fairness, not falsity.”

On rebuttal, Wood said the copy editors said the column was libelous because of the comparison with Williams. And Wood took umbrage at Canfield’s previous suggestions that Jewell’s side has litigated the case with an eye more to the media and movie deals than having the case resolved on the merits.

If you have not seen the brief video of the Anna Nicole Smith Opera that has sold out all six performances in London at the Royal London Opera and is receiving good reviews I suggest viewing that short video.

I have also updated the Michael Jackson’s downloads so be sure and browse through those papers.

On February 16, 2011 the South Carolina Court issued an Order and Opinion denying Susan M. Brown’s request to dismiss the suit in regards to her personally and her law firm. The court docket shows jury selection is to begin on February 22, 2011 for that case.

In the South Carolina federal Court the Estate has filed it’s Reply to Susan M. Brown’s Response in which she states L. Lin Wood charges to much!!! I personally think it was reasonable especially if you look at some filings against attorneys in other venues for Sanctions and Contempt. Which then begs to ask, how much is Brown’s time worth and/or billed to clients?

Jury selection is scheduled to began on January 13, 2011 in South Carolina but I just don’t see this going to trial but rather Brown’s insurance paying and getting damage control under way to restore Brown’s reputation.

Bringing up Brown’s reputation, I am sure most of you read in my 2010 deposition in the Texas case where I was told by a representative for Susan M. Brown, that she was going to sue this site and ME for damaging her professional reputation. I have been very hesitant to write anything about Brown following that. Believe me three plus years of being tangled up in lawsuits with people you have never met, is enough for a life time. That said, if Brown is going to put herself out there with having an Order by a Court to Sanction her for Contempt, then do we have an obligation to cover it as we do all things Anna Nicole Smith? I personally don’t believe this site has ever published anything harmful, [unless you consider the truth harmful], to any of the people in this saga of overlapping jurisdictions and lawsuits. We have stated over and over we know NONE of these people, have little to no contact with these people directly and we have learned to ask both sides for comments on the record.

The rule of thumb here is going to be would I cover the lawyers I “like” if they were brought up on Sanctions and for Contempt, the answer is YES, therefore we are going to cover this using the same criteria as we would if it was say, Wood.

Should Susan M. Brown be worried about what a small time blogger has to say about her? Shouldn’t she be more concerned about her career and trying to restore her reputation as an ethical attorney? IF there is a Georgia State Bar Complaint against her we will never know that, but I would bet money with what two federal courts have said about her in Opinions she is being investigated and if not then the State Bar of Georgia has seriously dropped the ball on Brown.

Here are the latest filings in the Anna Nicole Smith Estate through the Executor, Howard K. Stern’s vs. Susan M. Brown, attorney, and others in recovering Estate property.

I think we can see the writing on the wall as soon as L. Lin Wood moved on to other cases and let Luke Lantta and Nicole Jennings Wade finished up this last major lawsuit involving Smith’s Estate .

November 11, 2010 Susan M Brown’s Notice of filing Affidavit as the Court ordered her to do.

November 11, 2010 Susan M. Brown’s Affidavit stating that none of the Estate’s property or any copies are in her procession. It details the actions she took to double check everything.

December 9, 2010 Susan M. Brown’s Response to Howard K . Stern’s bill as the Executor of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith. Brown complains about how much money the Estate attorneys charged. Brown asks for a 25% reduction on the bill for $14,000+ but then goes on to really ask for a 50% reduction and that is based on what ? That Wood and team are better attorneys then Brown but still does not deserve to be paid for their work on the level of Wood’s abilities for his clients?… Yea that is going to fly, NOT!!!

December 20, 2010, L. Lin Wood’s Reply on behalf of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith that basically says, oh Really, want to see the emails? Yeppers everyone keeps emails now especially lawyers trying to reach an agreement on anything, even something as simple as filing a joint status report the Court asks for.

With all of this said, I do hope we get to follow some of these attorneys who do defamation suits on high profile cases like L. Lin Wood and Jackson Walker over the years to come, both of them are the tops in the country and usually on opposing sides.

When I mentioned “All things relating to Michael Jackson, to Ken his first statement was “Rose your health can’t handle being pulled into any more legal wrangling”. Yes but we have great guest writers and what is pulling a few legal papers was my response to him. .

We are going to attempt to have someone in the court on January 6, 2011 for the judges ruling on pending motions filed by Steve Sadow and Brad Brunon to reduce the charges or for a new trial and of course for any sentencing the Court imposes on Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and/or Howard K. Stern.

With the wrapping up of all things Anna Nicole Smith, which gave this site a platform to provide legal papers on interesting cases, we say goodbye in 2011 to Anna Nicole Smith.

The only lawsuits left is South Carolina, which I think is going to settle out of court with Susan M. Brown’s insurance policy. We have the criminal case hearing and possible sentencing on January 6, 2011 which I hope the judge drops it or kicks it, anything but a new trial. Finally we have the U. S. Supreme Court with a hearing and oral arguments on January 18, 2011 and will issue it’s opinion by June 2011

We are going to turn our attention to All things Michael Jackson with the new year and cover other cases that catch our attention.

However for the next two weeks we will be saying goodbye to Anna Nicole Smith with a series of articles with final papers as they are filed.

The picture with this article comes from a Magazine I finally received a copy of and I am reading the long article now. It deals with ALL of the players as pictured above and one of those pictured is the “real” Michelle Chase. Who do you think Michelle Chase is? Here is the picture enlarged as you guess which one of these people IS the real Michelle Chase!

U. S. Supreme Court Filings

Elaine Marshall’s Brief of additional points to the U. S. Supreme Court that was filed last week,

The Americus Brief filed by a bipartisan group of attorneys from the Bill Clinton and George Herbert. W. Bush administrations in favor of Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate and Howard K. Stern.

Remember the Court ruled 9- 0 in 2006 in favor of Anna Nicole Smith; this is going to be a case that sets new rules on bankruptcy and fighting Estates, I predict. I am going to connect all of the papers again that have been filed explaining what this case has been about in 2006 and now again in 2010 – 2011.

Once in a great while the veil of attorney’s fees are exposed so everyone can see what the best of the best charges.

We saw that when Jackson and Walker filed for Sanctions against Virgie Arthur in the Texas state Court. We heard it in the transcript of a hearing in that case when L. Lin Wood said his client, Howard K. Stern had a bill of $1,000,000.00, [yes one MILLION dollars], for attorneys fees to fight the two large suits in Houston, Texas Stern became entangled in with Arthur.

In the bill submitted per Court Order in the South Carolina Federal Court of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley and Susan M. Brown Esq., we again have the opportunity to have a look behind the veil of billing by attorneys in high profile cases.

Frankly I am surprise that L. Lin Wood only charges $400.00 an hour, after all he is the best at what he does. NOTE AND CORRECTION: L. Lin Wood’s fee is closer to $815.00 per hour in most cases unless as with this case in which Bryan Cave has a “Hybrid fee basis” contract the fee is almost $1,000 per hour. I stand corrected and that is more in sync with what I thought “he should be paid”. I remember saying during my deposition that I was surrounded by thousand dollar an hour lawyers. I was wrong with that many attorneys and paralegals present I should have said about three thousand dollar an hour lawyers.

This also gives us a clear insight into what one of Wood’s client’s, Richard Jewell, said that he did not get that much money from the settled lawsuits but it was not about money to him it was about clearing his name.

Then there is ALL of the expenses of lawyers like Wood and his entourage of Nicole Jennings Wade and Luke Lantta for traveling, preparing filings, preparing for a hearing or deposition, the time spent at a hearing or deposition and even the transcripts. That plus the percentage, which is usually at least 1/3 of the settlement of a suit but can go as high as 50% of a settlement and then the “expenses incurred” and you see why lawyers walk away with most of the money.

That said, if you were Richard Jewell, John and the late Patsy Ramsey, or Howard K. Stern how much would it be worth to you for L. Lin Wood to restore your good name?

Some of these lawyers have what I call a God complex because of the mega bucks they make, however I never saw that in the depositions and hearings I was part of where Wood also participated. He is a southern gentleman but he also drives a $220k+ car and can be a mean fighting machine on behalf of his clients.

I will be writing a biography on Wood and what his previous clients got in some settlements, was it worth it to them and who is L. Lin Wood. I have done a lot of research and hope you will come back and read that later this week. Yes I will be asking Mr. Wood for a on the record statement about this unauthorized biography and his previous clients feelings about this mega lawyer.

Here are the papers filed by Bryan Cave last week.
