April 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 25 Request FOR CLARIFICATION. Filed by St. Charles Health System, Inc.. (Martin Rhodes, Allison)
April 7, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 24 Order to Show Cause: Mark Hutcheson is granted 14 days (April 21, 2021) to show cause why he should not be sanctioned for violating his ethical obligation to alert the Court to contrary authority. Additionally, Mark Hutcheson shall show cause why the Court should not sanction him under 28 U.S.C. 1927. That statute provides: Any attorney or other person admitted to conduct cases in any court of the United States or any Territory thereof who so multiplies the proceedings in any case unreasonably and vexatiously may be required by the court to satisfy personally the excess costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred because of such conduct. The fact that the hospital cited Section 10(j) in its motion asking the National Labor Relations Board to enjoin the strike yet omitted any mention of the section in its motion for emergency injunctive relief, provides at least an argument that both the motion and the complaint itself were filed in bad faith. There is at least the appearance that the goal of this action was not to advance a valid legal argument or claim, but rather to gain a valuable negotiating chip (in the form of an injunction prohibiting a rapidly approaching strike) during longstanding discussions with the union. Again, it is inconceivable to the Court that an attorney experienced in this specific area of the law would be unaware of binding Supreme Court authority specifically holding courts lacked jurisdiction to do what the hospital requested here. If such actions were in fact made in bad faith, they are sanctionable. B.K.B. v. Maui Police Dept, 276 F.3d 1091, 1108 (9th Cir. 2002). The Court does not issue this show cause order lightly. But on this record, the order is justified. The Court will defer referring this matter to the Washington State Bar until it reviews Mark Hutchenson's response, the union's optional reply, and, if necessary, presides over an in-person oral argument. Signed on 4/7/2021 by Judge Michael J. McShane. (cp)
