Bossian v. Anderson
Bossian v. Anderson
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
This case came before the Court in conference on the plaintiffs petition for rear-gument. The petition is clearly without merit and warrants a simple denial. Unfortunately, however, the Court is once again constrained to take up the issue of sanctions in connection with a legal memorandum signed and filed with the Court by this plaintiff, who is a member of the bar of this state. Plaintiffs memorandum in support of reargument in this matter is insolent and disrespectful in tone, containing as it does baseless allegations of bias, incompetence, and even of ethical violations on the part of the justices of this Court, and as above indicated, this is not the first time he has exhibited such deliberate disregard for the principle of civility. The Court’s opinion in this appeal was one of three filed in connection with claims arising out of the bitter dissolution of the plaintiffs former law partnership with the defendant
1. The petition for reargument is denied.
2. Pursuant to this Court’s inherent supervisory powers as set forth in Clarke v. Morsilli, supra, a sanction in the nature of counsel fees in the amount of $2,000.00 is personally imposed on plaintiff Dennis D. Bossian, and the plaintiff shall pay the said sum to the defendant’s attorney within twenty (20) days of the date of this Order. Upon making such payment, the plaintiff shall forthwith notify the Clerk of the Supreme Court in writing of his compliance with this Order.
3. The plaintiff is hereby enjoined from filing any further legal action*144 against the defendant in any court of this state arising out of the dissolution of the parties’ former law partnership.
. The others are Dissolution of Anderson, Zangari, & Bossian, 888 A.2d 973 (R.I. 2006) (Bos-sian 1), and Bossian v. Anderson, 991 A.2d 1025 (R.I., 2010) (Bossian 2).
