Conour victims ask 7th Circuit for fees awarded to creditor

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

Judges on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals appeared sympathetic to victims of former attorney William Conour during oral arguments Wednesday over legal fees that a District Court judge ordered paid to a Conour creditor rather than to defrauded clients who were shut out of the case.

Arguments before the court in Chicago also revealed the Indianapolis law firm that inherited many of Conour’s former cases continues to hold in trust about $2.1 million in legal fees earned from those cases, pending the outcome of legal challenges.

Judge Tanya Walton Pratt in the U.S. Court for the Southern District of Indiana last August ordered Ladendorf Law P.C. to pay almost $775,000 in legal fees it earned to ACF 2006 Corp., whose parent company had extended a line of credit to Conour’s law firm. Conour defaulted on the loan after he was charged with wire fraud. He later pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and admitted to defrauding 36 former clients of more than $6 million of settlement money. He was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

Ladendorf Law attorney Timothy Devereux had worked at a Conour law firm before the one-time high-profile personal injury and wrongful death attorney’s Ponzi scheme collapsed. When Devereux left, many of his clients followed him to Ladendorf. Pratt’s ruling represented her judgment of the division of legal fees in those cases under a quantum meruit distribution, and the total that Conour would have been entitled to under Indiana law. She ruled ACF was entitled to receive those fees.

Arguing before the 7th Circuit Wednesday, Devereux contested Pratt’s division of fees in key cases, arguing that rather than help in some cases, Conour had hindered them. He argued Pratt erred in ruling that in one significant case, Conour’s firm was entitled to 40 percent of fees. He testified Conour had obstructed the transfer of the case and refused a court order to turn over case files and evidence.

“We ended up having to go over with the sheriffs, forcibly, into his office and take physical possession,” Devereux testified. Conour “did everything in his power to prevent the case from moving forward.

“It’s hard to believe under a quantum meruit approach that requires … clean hands, that the court can find Mr. Conour’s now entitled to an additional $120,000 out of the subsequent settlement that was procured only through the efforts of myself and the Ladendorf Law Firm,” Devereux said.

Under Pratt’s ruling, those fees and the additional $657,000 in her order, go to ACF, which was assigned Conour’s line of credit from Advocate Capital. But Davis and Loretta Beals and their daughter Kristen claim they were wrongly blocked from intervening in this suit. Conour won a settlement for the Bealses, who were injured in a deadly crash involving a tractor-trailer, but the Bealses are still trying to collect about $500,000 of the money Conour stole from them.

“At the bottom of all of this,” Judge Ilana Diamond Rovner said to Devereux, “What do you think about the fee allocation issue if we agree that the Bealses were improperly dismissed from the case at summary judgment?”

Deverex said the issue remains whether Conour would be allowed to recover. “His own misconduct would be a bar to the recovery of fees,” regardless of who subsequently was entitled to them.

“I agree Mr. Conour did bad acts,” argued the Bealses’ attorney, James Fisher. “But I’m having trouble with the concept that because Mr. Conour did bad acts, Mr. Conour’s portion of the fees should be given to Mr. Devereux, that’s the part we object to. … Mr. Conour should forfeit his fees, but he should forfeit them to his victims.”

Fisher said the theft of funds from the Bealses dates to 1996, when he said Conour failed to fund a structured settlement that was designed as an annuity to pay annual proceeds through the year 2047.

“The Bealses were clients of Mr. Conour whose settlement funds were stolen by him,” Fisher said. “It was our belief claims of victims whose settlement funds had been embezzled by Mr. Conour had a priority over subsequent commercial transactions.” Fisher also said he believes the funds could be traced to subsequent firms Conour established.

“If we agree the Bealses were improperly dismissed from this case in summary judgment … does the District Court have to go back to square one at that point?” Rovner asked Fisher. He replied that a new trial wouldn’t be requested, and that the Bealses’ lien of about $500,000 is less than the sum Pratt awarded to ACF.

But Roger Jones, representing ACF, argued the Bealses were rightly terminated from the case at summary judgment because they presented only evidence of the civil suit filed against Conour personally and his former firm, along with a default judgment in the Bealses’ favor. These didn’t meet the requirements to defeat summary motion.

“The Bealses had zero evidence in the record to support their claim – zero, nothing,” Jones argued.

But it appeared at least two of the three jurists on the panel found error in Pratt’s ruling.

“We have case after case that says you don’t have to plead the legal theory in the complaint,” Rovner said to Jones. “Why wasn’t it error for Judge Pratt to say the Beals intervenors were stuck with the legal theory they cited in their complaint?”

Jones replied the Bealses’ complaint was more than a theory, it stated the basis for which they made a claim on legal fees, and those assets belong to Conour Law Firm LLC, which was organized in 2007. When Jones said he didn’t think the District Court’s view was the complaint had to plead legal theory, it drew a strong response from Judge Frank Easterbrook.

“The District Court said so. … It’s part of the opinion,” Easterbrook said. “You don’t have to defend errors by the District Court when you’ve got an alternative ground.”

Meanwhile, Senior Judge Daniel Manion asked Devereux whether there was any actual money available, to which he replied about $2.1 million in fees from former Conour cases is being held in Ladendorf Law’s IOLTA account. Devereux also said that because all interest on those funds goes to the Indiana Bar Foundation, Pratt also erred in ordering interest paid on the fees awarded to ACF. He noted ACF never pled nor sought prejudgment interest.

Wednesday’s oral arguments in the case, ACF 2006 Corp. v. Timothy Devereux, et al., 15-3048, can be heard here.

Indiana Ranks Among Best States in the Nation for Transparency

0

Indianapolis – Indiana is among the highest-rated states in the nation for transparency in government spending, according to a top non-partisan consumer activist group.

Following the Money 2016: How the 50 States Rate in Providing Online Access to Government Spending Data, the sixth annual report of its kind by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund, was released Wednesday and included Indiana among five “A-plus” states, and one of four to score a perfect 100 in its grading system. Governor Mike Pence released the following statement regarding the Indiana Transparency Portal’s top national ranking.

“As tax day approaches in Indiana, Hoosiers deserve to know exactly how their tax dollars are being spent,” said Governor Mike Pence. “I commend Auditor Crouch and her work with our Office of Technology and Management Performance Hub to increase transparency and accountability – giving our citizens unprecedented access to information, restoring public confidence, and creating a more efficient government. Hand in hand with our record of passing honestly balanced budgets, maintaining sufficient reserves, and cutting taxes for Hoosiers across the state, our record of financial transparency is yet another indicator of the pride we hold in our accountability to the wallets and pocketbooks of hardworking Hoosiers.”

 

UE Volleyball announces new signees

Aces add five to roster

 University of Evansville head volleyball coach Manolo Concepcion has announced the signing of five student-athletes to play for the Purple Aces next season.  Included in the class are: Deja Clark, Erlicia Griffith, Taylor Jones, Elane Shumway and Rachel Hin Ching Tam.

Clark and Shumway come to Evansville from Pickerington, Ohio where they each played for Mintonette Sports and for the same high school (Pickerington North).  Clark, a 6’0’’ Outside Hitter/Opposite was the 2016 Ohio Capital Conference Co-Player of the Year and was also 1st Team All-District and All-Conference as a hitter. Shumway is a 6’3’’ Middle who is known for her defensive capabilities in the net.

“The inclusion of Deja in our program adds athleticism, speed and offensive presence.  She has a reach of over 10 feet and is built to play in a fast-pace offense,” Concepcion said.  “We look forward to her immediate impact in our scoring capabilities.”

“Elane has the wingspan of a 6-5 athlete with the ability to improve our blocking.  I have seen her progress offensively throughout this club season, especially in transition; something we were looking for at her position” Concepcion added.  “The fact that Deja and Elane have played together for so long will allow their combination to sync right away.”

Griffith, a 6-3 Right Side, is a native of Wharton, Texas.  She is transferring from NJCAA Nationally Ranked San Jacinto College (#18), where she was a 2nd Team All-District player and was one of the main reasons that her team finished 7th in the Nation in Block Assists.

“Erlicia will enhance our defense on the right side of the net as well as add charismatic leadership skills to our young team,” Concepcion explained.  “She fits perfectly with our team culture and comes from a junior college powerhouse that has had a winning tradition for a long time.”

Originally from Hong Kong, China, Rachel Tam is the current Captain for the Youth & Junior Hong Kong National Team as a 5’9’’ Outside Hitter, as well as for St. Catharine’s School for Girls.  She played Division 2A in China where her team won the championship of the Kowloon and Hong Kong Island District Schools. She has also represented her country with the Beach Volleyball National Team.

“Rachel is an engaging, hard-working kid with great international experience,” Concepcion said.  “Her smart game and out of system problem solving skills were two aspects that caught our attention.  She is an emotionally intelligent student of the game that will impact our program in the long run.”

Taylor Jones is a native of Winamac, Ind. where she was a 4-year letterwinner as a 5-7 Setter.  She led her team to a sectional title and was a 3-time Midwest Conference First Team player and also served as a team captain for three seasons. She is the current Captain for Epic United Volleyball Club (17-Elite ROX).

“Taylor is a fast-pace setter with the ability to run the system that we want to establish in the future or our program,” Concepcion said.  “She compensates her height with her explosiveness, quick hands and set precision/location.  It will be great to have more depth in that position for years to come.”

St. Vincent Sites of Care Now Veteran Providers Outside VA

Veterans Can Now Receive Care from St. Vincent & St. Mary’s Doctors through the Veterans Choice Program

INDIANAPOLIS — St. Vincent today announced a partnership to provide care through the Veterans Choice Program, giving veterans the choice to receive care at St. Vincent locations throughout Indiana, which includes St. Mary’s. As part of Ascension, the nation’s largest nonprofit healthcare system and the world’s largest Catholic health system, St. Vincent joins 23 other states and the District of Columbia in sustaining and improving the health of individuals and our communities by serving as an official provider of Veteran Care outside the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Now qualified U.S. veterans who face wait times in excess of 30 days at the VA or need to travel farther than 40 miles from their home can receive care from St. Vincent doctors at 20 hospital locations throughout Indiana.

“Our nation’s military men and women provide an invaluable service to our country, and we are privileged to be able to do our part to ensure that they receive the critical patient-centered healthcare that they deserve,” said Jonathan Nalli, CEO of St. Vincent. “This partnership provides an opportunity to break down barriers to timely care, while delivering high-quality, personalized healthcare for Indiana’s military veterans.”

The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 established funding to pay for healthcare services provided to veterans by private healthcare providers. Through this partnership, St. Vincent physicians and other caregivers are authorized to provide primary care, inpatient and outpatient specialty care, and mental health care for eligible veterans outside the VA.

“We’re indebted to Hoosier veterans for their efforts to keep our state and nation safe. Through this new partnership, we can help ensure that our veterans receive the timely-care they need regardless of where they may live,” added Nalli.

 

Ascension has established a contractual agreement with TriWest Healthcare Alliance and national provider registration with Health Net Federal Services, LLC — both are federal contractors to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. As Veterans Choice Program contractors, TriWest and Health Net are designated by the VA to implement the Veterans Choice Program and provide eligible veterans access to care in their community when the local VA facility cannot readily provide care.

Nearly 9 million veterans received the Veterans Choice Card. Use of the card is strictly voluntary; veterans who qualify for VA healthcare can continue to receive care at a VA medical facility as they have in the past. The program will end when the allocated funds of $10 billion are used or no later than August 7, 2017.

Veterans can determine eligibility for the Veterans Choice Program at http://www.va.gov/opa/choiceact/ or by calling the number on their Choice Card, 1-866-606-8198.

Don Apple earns Heart of UE Award

0

Apple is a great supporter of UE

One of the most active supporters to the University of Evansville and the Athletics Department has been recognized for his efforts as Don Apple was given one of the most prestigious awards handed out annually at UE.

The Heart of UE Award is given to honor an individual who embodies the spirit of the University of Evansville through philanthropy, volunteerism, and scholarship. Acting as the centermost livelihood of the university, this award celebrates an individual that believes in and exemplifies the vision and core purpose of the University of Evansville.

“Don Apple’s love for his alma mater and amazing dedication to volunteering and philanthropy has and continues to support and enhance countless number of Aces students.  UE Athletics is in debt to his dedication,” said Lance Wilkerson, UE’s Senior Associate Athletic Director.

A more than deserving candidate, Apple has been an incredible ambassador for his alma mater and community.  The president of the Purple Aces Club has served three different terms that have spanned over two decades.  His efforts in that position have helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for UE student-athlete scholarships.

His support has spanned over all of the Purple Aces programs.  From helping at cross country to spotting at the women’s golf tournament to passing out information at the Ford Center before basketball games, his contributions have been endless.

Aces hoping to keep rolling in second Valley weekend

0

 After battling to a 2-1 series victory over Wichita State last weekend and a 2-1 thriller over Murray State on Tuesday, the University of Evansville baseball team will be hoping to keep things rolling this weekend as the Purple Aces will welcome in Bradley for the second weekend of Missouri Valley Conference play.

The Aces (18-13) are currently riding a three-game winning streak, thanks in part to some impressive pitching performances from freshman starters. Brandon Gomer, Alex Weigand and Austin Allinger have each picked up the victory over the last three games, and overall, Aces freshmen have tossed nearly 45% of the UE’s 269 innings on the mound.

This weekend, both Gomer and Weigand as well as junior hurler Patrick Schnieders are slated to carry the starting load for the Aces once again. Schnieders, saw his streak of quality starts upended in last Friday’s loss to the Shockers, but he will still enter the weekend as the statistical leader among the three with a 3-2 record and a 2.82 earned run average over a team leading 44.2 innings.

Gomer, on the other hand, picked up his first collegiate win after holding WSU to just four hits and a pair of runs in Saturday’s contest, and Weigand struck out a career-best seven hitters in six innings of work a day later. The duo has a combined 4-4 record on the season.

At the plate, the Aces line-up has maintained its torrid power pace, highlighted by the heavy-hitting trio of Jonathan Ramon, Trey Hair and Boomer Synek. Ramon, who has already logged the most home runs for a UE hitter in a season since 2010, leads the team with nine round-trippers to go along with his .308 average. Hair, a junior college transfer out of Fort Scott Community College, is the top hitter in the MVC with a .417 mark at the plate with 14 doubles and five homers, and Synek, who hit Tuesday’s ninth-inning game-winning homer at Murray State, is a .320 hitter with a team-leading 34 runs batted in.

Overall, the Aces are hitting .287 this season with 32 homers, which stands as the most for any UE team since 2010, which was the year before the NCAA introduced its new bat standards.

Meanwhile, the Braves enter the weekend looking to repeat some of the success of a week ago against Missouri State. BU is 15-11 this season, but facing one of the nation’s most powerful line-ups, the team was able shut down the Bears for a 2-1 victory before Sunday’s rubber game was called off due to inclement weather. Earlier this week, BU dropped a 5-1 decision at Northwestern.

First pitch on Friday is set for 6 p.m., and the games on Saturday and Sunday are slated to begin at 2 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively.

NOTES: With 15 career saves, Aces closer Brent Jurceka is now tied for fifth all-time in UE history, equaling former Aces Matt Brinkmann and Sam Johns … Since 1978, UE is 49-37 against Bradley … The Aces are also 221-197 against schools that hail from the state of Illinois over that time span, including 4-1 this season … Last year, the Braves picked up the first two wins of the series in Peoria before the Aces left town with a 10-0 seven-inning win on the final day… In 2014, the last time BU paid a visit to Evansville, the Aces won all three games by a combined 22-8 score.

Two Aces sports earn APR recognition

More than 1,000 Division I sports teams are being recognized for outstanding performance in the classroom and two University of Evansville programs are near the top of that list as the Purple Aces women’s cross country and women’s golf teams have earned recognition.

Based on their most recent multiyear Academic Progress Rate, these teams have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting scores in the top 10 percent of their sport. The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams nationally.

For both UE programs, it marks the seventh year in a row that both have been recognized, making for an amazing accomplishment.

The 1,071 teams publicly recognized for high achievement include 649 women’s teams and 422 men’s or mixed squads. This year, schools combined the indoor and outdoor track and field teams into one team score, which slightly reduced the overall number of teams earning Public Recognition Awards.

The scores required to be in the top 10 ranged from 983 to a perfect 1,000, depending on the sport. Earning a perfect APR score were 944 teams.

“We want to ensure college athletes are getting the most out of their experience, and academics are a top priority in this effort,” said NCAA President Mark Emmert. “The teams honored today earned recognition by making a commitment to success in the classroom as well as in competition. We celebrate their achievement and dedication to preparing themselves for life after college.”

The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each term and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in every sport.

The most recent APRs are multiyear rates based on scores from the 2011-2012, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years.
