In re: Husain

Record contained sufficient evidence to support Bankruptcy Ct.’s order disbarring attorney Al-Haroon B. Husain after U.S. Trustee claimed that Husain’s filings regularly failed to include debtor’s genuine signatures, and where record showed that Husain as matter of routine signed client-debtor’s names to documents requiring debtors to verify statements under penalty of perjury and copied and reused clients’ signatures to documents that they had not seen. Ct. rejected Husain’s claim that his conduct did not merit disbarment or that disbarment was too harsh because other practitioners had committed similar infractions. Ct. further rejected Husain’s contention that his clients had authorized him to sign their names. Ct., though, remanded to Dist. Ct. for consideration of Husain’s appeal of Bankruptcy Ct.’s contempt finding regarding Husain’s failure to follow Bankruptcy Ct.’s directive to refund fees he had collected from 18 clients, where Dist. Ct. judge had yet to act on issues raised in said appeal.
