Discipline Summaries
April 17, 2015 PATRICK ALEXANDRE MISSUD [#219614], 47, of San Francisco, was disbarred April 17, 2015 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. A State Bar Court hearing court judge found Missud culpable of misconduct that included moral turpitude and failing to obey a court order and recommended he be disbarred. Missud appealed, claiming the judge “lied†and “ignored all facts and laws to railroad†him. The State Bar Court Review Department upheld the disbarment recommendation.Missud’s misdeeds began in 2004 when he purchased a home in Nevada through a company called D. R. Horton Inc. Missud and his wife had the option of purchasing through the company’s preferred lender, but only if the house was going to be their primary residence. Because the company thought the couple was going to use the home as a rental, it required them to use a different lender.“Missud believed himself wronged by this and other aspects of the purchase process and began a crusade first against Horton, and later, the judiciary,†a three-judge review panel wrote in its opinion. Missud repeatedly and unsuccessfully sued Horton, the lender and six of Horton’s officers and employees. Between 2005 and 2011, Missud filed eight lawsuits in various courts alleging a conspiracy between Horton and numerous state and federal judges, private neutral parties, public officials, government agencies and opposing counsel.More than two years into the litigation in Nevada state court, a judge issued a protective order and Missud agreed to remove facts from his various websites and stop making attacks on Horton. But he soon violated the order and admitted to making threatening communications to witnesses and counsel. As a result, the court found Missud in contempt, ordered him to pay $48,691.97 in fees and costs and dismissed the case. As of the date of the Review Department’s decision, he had not paid any portion of the fees.In addition, a federal court judge declared Missud a vexatious litigant finding, among other things, that his claims against Horton “lacked any credible factual basis,†and that he planned to continue harassing Horton and its employees regardless of judicial rulings against him. Missud also behaved disrespectfully during the disciplinary proceedings against him, proclaiming during his opening statement at trial: “There is no doubt that criminality runs rampant throughout the judiciary and that this Bar Court trial is being railroaded to lift my license.†During the five-day trial he spent hours railing against Horton, accusing judges and other public officials of corruption and four witnesses of lying, demanding the State Bar investigate them. He also threatened to have one of the State Bar prosecutors and State Bar Court judges criminally prosecuted. |
