Azran Miami 2, LLC v. US Bank Trust, N.A. (consolidated sanctions order re: Bruce Jacobs, Esq.)
The Third DCA consolidated four show-cause proceedings and imposed sanctions on foreclosure-defense attorney Bruce Jacobs for filing frivolous and bad-faith post-opinion motions, attaching thousands of pages of non-record appendices without leave, relying on vacated and quashed orders without disclosure, and repeatedly impugning the integrity of appellate and circuit judges, opposing counsel and the Bar. The court referred the matters to the Florida Bar and awarded each opposing party up to $5,000 in attorney's fees (up to $35,000 total), with Jacobs and his firm jointly and severally liable, remanding to the trial courts to fix amounts.
