Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a federal court may disbar an attorney | without instituting a separate proceeding for such purpose, apprising the attorney of all material facts reasonably far in advance of a hearing, and ; without affording the attorney reasonable opportunity to conduct discovery and to confront all witnesses against him at a hearing. | 2. Whether, when in a written submission to a court an attorney provided information about a judge abusing his office and official powers to knowingly violate any right of any person under the U.S. Con. stitution or federal law, such court may discipline such attorney without justifying such discipline by expressly stating the controlling legal authorities and expressly applying such authorities to the material facts. 3. Whether criticism of a judge for abusing his or her office and official powers may be punished in any way before such criticism was proved by clear and convincing evidence to have materially impeded, disrupted or interfered with a lawful government function or to have been false regarding a material fact and asserted with actual malice. cs . . “t . ii DIRECTLY
