The Long Beach Chapter of the Lincoln Clubs will host Thomas P. O'Brien on Aug. 27 at Legends in Belmont Shore.


According to the e-vite:

O'Brien was nominated to be the United States Attorney for the Central District of California by President George W. Bush on July 12, 2007. He was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on October 4, 2007, and was sworn in as United States Attorney the next day. As the senior federal law enforcement official in the Central District of California, Mr. O'Brien is responsible for all federal criminal investigations and prosecutions, as well as all civil matters involving the United States, in the largest federal district in the country, encompassing seven counties and more than 18 million residents. In addition to his responsibilities as United States Attorney, Mr. O'Brien sits on the President's Corporate Fraud Task Force and is Chair of the Attorney General's Advisory Committee's Cyber/Intellectual Property Subcommittee.

Mr. O'Brien is a former Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County, where he was assigned to the Hardcore Gang Division for more than five years. During that time, he tried approximately 65 cases, including dozens of gang murder cases, as well as cases involving allegations of rape, assault, kidnaping, car-jacking, counterfeiting, and narcotics trafficking. He was named Prosecutor of the Month in July 2000 by the Los Angeles County Association of Deputy District Attorneys.

Mr. O'Brien graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1981, and from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1993, where he was an Associate Editor of the San Diego Law Review and received his degree with honors. He has accumulated 2,000 flight hours as a Radar Intercept Officer in the F-14 "Tomcat" fighter aircraft, and is a graduate of the United States Navy Fighter Weapons ("Top Gun") School.

The event will be at noon at 5236 E, Second Street. Admission is $25 for members and $35 for non-members.
