U.S. Attorney May Face Discipline Over Contempt Petition
U.S. District Judge Edward J. McManus held a one day Cedar Rapids hearing and ordered Asst. U.S. Attorney Alan Kirshen to show cause why he should not be disciplined for unprofessional conduct in an action to hold a Dubuque lawyer and client in contempt for not testifying before a federal grand jury investigating prostitution and pornography in the Dubuque area. McManus dismissed the contempt charges against William Parker and P.A.T. Enterprises Inc. noting no basis in fact or law, calling Kirshen's conduct maliciously and oppressively instituted to harassment the Dubuque lawyer.

Malpractice Suit Thrown Out And Counter Claim Filed
Cedar Rapids physician Dr Earl Bickel filed a $500000 suit in Cedar Rapids federal court against Lenore Mackie of O Fallon Missouri and attorney Roger Hibbitts of Florissant Missouri. He seeks 250000 from each alleging malicious filing and improper conduct in a prior Missouri case that sought damages from him and another doctor after a 1971 Kmart fall. The prior suit was dismissed for lack of expert evidence and the court ruled doctors acted properly. Bickel alleges the current suit harmed his reputation and practice.
