Hoa Complaint Update

Posted by: Jubal | 05/09/2008 10:45 AM

Quick update on the complaint I filed yesterday with the District Attorney against the Hoa Van Tran for Supervisor campaign.

I received an e-mail this morning from Assistant District Attorney Mike Lubinski:

I am in receipt of your request for an investigation. We are in the process of reviewing your allegations.
TheLiberalOC.com and Total Buzz posted about the complaint filing yesterday.

Stay tuned...

Hoa TRan run a lot of 30 second politial ads and talk show on the SBTN Televion (Do Phu, Hoás boss is apartial own this station).

Do you see he reports these expenses to OCR ?.

I wonder if the equal time rule is still in force, and whether it's applicable to satellite TV. Because if it does, and the other candidates call it in, SBTN television will have no time left for any other content. :-D

HAO-NHIEN QUI VU [#177529] aka Bosavik:

Can you tell us your public records at the below:

California Bar Journal Discipline Summaries
Summaries from the California Bar Journal are based on discipline orders but are not the official records. Not all discipline actions have associated CBJ summaries. Copies of official attorney discipline records are available upon request.

September 10, 2006

HAO-NHIEN QUI VU [#177529], 42, of Westminster Probation was revoked, the stay of suspension was lifted and he was actually suspended for two years and until he proves his rehabilitation and was ordered to comply with rule 955. Credit toward the actual suspension will be given for a period of involuntary inactive enrollment that began May 21, 2006. The order took effect Sept. 10, 2006.

Vu did not submit four quarterly probation reports, prove he attended ethics school or complete six hours of MCLE in ethics. Vu did not participate in the probation revocation proceeding.

He was disciplined in 2004 for failing to perform legal services competently and for the unauthorized practice of law.

October 30, 2004

HAO-NHIEN Q. VU [#177529], 40, of Westminster was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 30-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within a year and to prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Oct. 30, 2004.

Vu stipulated to misconduct in two matters, including failing to perform legal services competently and the unauthorized practice of law.

Vu represented two clients in a patent infringement case, but failed to handle the case properly. He failed to inform one client about discovery, scheduled depositions without informing the clients and then failed to show up, entered into a consent order without telling the clients and failed to inform one client about critical pre-trial deadlines. He also did not respond to his clients’ inquiries, and they were forced to hire a new lawyer.

Vu was sanctioned $5,000 as a result of his conduct, but his check was written against insufficient funds.

His failure to perform left his clients facing severe monetary and evidentiary sanctions.

In the second matter, Vu filed two notices with a court while he was suspended for failing to pay his bar dues.

In mitigation, he has no prior record of discipline.

Is this Vu guy Hoa Van Tran? If he's not then I'm lost, why is this posted here? Or is this the record of Bolsavik?
