UNR Attorney Ordered To Appear In Federal Court
University of Nevada, Reno Attorney Charles Hilsabeck was ordered to appear before Judge Pro on August 18th in Federal Court. The case in question is Hussein S. Hussein vs Mary Dugan and Leah Wilds. The plaintiff, Dr. Hussein, had submitted a motion to the court requesting sanctions against Hilsabeck.
The motion accused Hilsabeck et al of submitting false evidence, perjury, and subornation of perjury.
Judge Pro began the hearing notifying Plaintiff Hussein's counsel that he agreed with his allegations. Judge Pro said he clearly sees the color green where Hilsabeck says the color is red. Judge Pro allowed Hilsabeck and his supporting counsel the opportunity to offer a defense to this clear discrepancy.
According to the allegations this series of falsehoods by Hilsabeck et al was repeated over an 8-month period despite several warnings and offered proof from Dr. Hussein's counsel that the information was false.
Judge Pro will decide what, if any, sanctions will be applied to Hilsabeck in the coming days. Sanctions can include anything from monetary fines, to contempt, to disqualification of counsel from the case or from practice altogether.
Lying under oath is one of the worst sins a lawyer can commit -- akin to stealing a client's money, legal experts said.
Charles Hilsabeck is the same UNR attorney leading the defense in my lawsuit. Mary Dugan is the lead General Counsel at UNR.
