Kirkland v. National Mortgage Network, Inc. (1989)

Kirkland v. National Mortgage Network, Inc., 884 F.2d 1367, 1370 (11th Cir.1989). 11 Generally, the first step in a procedural due process analysis is to determine whether the plaintiff had a protected interest.

The decisions that Rubinstein relies on to support his position are mostly from cases in which attorneys were saddled with formal sanctions ranging from disqualification, see Kirkland v. Nat’l Mortgage Network, Inc., 884 F.2d 1367, 1370 (11th Cir.1989) (concluding an attorney may appeal a district court’s order of disqualification for misconduct, even after the underlying litigation has been dismissed); Kleiner v. First Nat’l Bank of Atlanta, 751 F.2d 1193 , 1200 n. 14 (11th…

We share the district court's sense of gravity over this issue, because "the 'brand of disqualification' on grounds of dishonesty and bad faith could well hang over [an attorney's] name and career for years to come." Kirkland, 884 F.2d at 1370 (holding that a district court's order disqualifying an attorney is reviewable by this court even after the underlying case has settled because of the gravity of the accusations of unethical conduct); Kleiner, 751 F.2d at 1200 n. 14.
