Summary
This document is page 5 of a rough draft transcript from a deposition or hearing bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. A former judge is being questioned about their current pro bono work through the University of Utah and their admission *pro hac vice* in the Southern District of Florida. The questioning focuses on the witness's past judicial conduct, specifically whether they ever struck pleadings for being impertinent or scandalous; the witness recalls referring attorneys to the Bar in two such instances rather than striking pleadings immediately.
