Krouner v. United States Tax Court
United States Court of Appeals for the District Court of Columbia Circuit
202 F. App’x 470 (2006)
- Written by Daniel Clark, JD
Facts
Mr. Krouner (plaintiff) was admitted to practice law both in the state of New York and before the United States Tax Court (defendant). Krouner pleaded guilty to New York felonies involving fraud and larceny. Without a hearing, New York disbarred Krouner. The Tax Court held a hearing before a panel for Krouner to present his case that the Tax Court should not also disbar him. At his hearing, Krouner admitted to the crimes but argued that mitigating circumstances made disbarment inappropriate. When pressed to elaborate on the mitigating circumstances, Krouner gave equivocal answers. The Tax Court issued a decision to disbar Krouner. Krouner filed an action in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit challenging the Tax Court’s decision.
