Hale v. U.S. Trustee
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
GRABER, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Tom Hale assisted Debtors Eric and Selina Jones in filing a bankruptcy petition. The bankruptcy court found that, in doing so, Hale failed to honor his legal and ethical obligations as their lawyer. The bankruptcy court denied Hale’s motion requesting judicial recusal, denied his request for a jury trial on the reasonableness of his attorney fees, disgorged him of his attorney fees, and sanctioned him. The district court affirmed those rulings, and Hale timely appealed. On appeal, he raises only the attorney fees and sanction issues. We affirm.
