More Yagman news
A federal judge today dismissed a lawsuit against the State Bar of California brought by convicted Venice civil rights attorney Stephen Yagman. Yagman's lawsuit alleges the State Bar violated his constitutional and civil rights by issuing an interim suspension of his law license on July 27. In a brief hearing this morning, U.S. District Judge George Wu dismissed Yagman's lawsuit, ruling that the matter of his possible disbarment is an ongoing matter. A jury convicted Yagman in June of attempted tax evasion, bankruptcy fraud and money laundering. He was sentenced last month to three years in federal prison. He is appealing both the conviction and the sentence.
