A quick summary of the events...
In September of 2013, John Hoff sent in his application to take the Bar Exam in the State of Oklahoma.
This blog confirmed that information by contacting the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners.
All applicants are required to pass a moral character background check before they become licensed.
I quickly submitted documentation about Hoff that supported my character claim about his past to the board and was finally contacted by the attorney who represents the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners (OBBE). I was told there would be a hearing held before the board and I agreed to testify in person.
In February of 2014, the Oklahoma Bar Association held their Bar Exam and John Hoff was allowed to take the Exam. Hoff passed the exam but, he was not allowed to join the Bar Association due to his moral character and fitness status being under review.
On April 30, 2014 John Hoff met with the board's attorney to give a deposition that lasted a full day.
A hearing was held in Oklahoma City on August 14th and 15th, 2014 and I appeared to testify on the second day of the hearing and was questioned by the board's attorney and cross examined by John Hoff.
On October 17, 2014, the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners officially ruled to deny Hoff's application to join the Oklahoma Bar. They based their decision on evidence presented at the August Rule 11 hearing with their reasons summarized with their Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law. Click HERE to read that document.
On November 19, 2014, John Hoff filed a motion to appeal the board of bar examiners ruling. On the same day, Hoff filed a motion to proceed Informa Pauperis in an attempt to avoid having to pay the fees required to have the appeal heard by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Five days later, the OBBE's filed motions to strike and dismiss.
On December 10, 2014, Hoff filed a motion with the Supreme Court to seal the records pertaining to all of the events listed above and from that date forward.
On December 10, 2015, the Oklahoma Supreme Court issued the following ruling:
"JE: MOT AND AFF OF HOFF TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS DENIED. ETC. PURSUANT TO RULE 11 ETC, HOFF SH/FILE, W/IN 30 DAYS OF DATE OF TH/ORDER, GOOD AND SUFF BOND TO BE APPROVED BY CLERK OF SUP CT IN AN AMOUNT SUFF TO DEFRAY COSTS OF APPEAL, INCLUDING RULE 11 TRANS. FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE COST BOND ETC SH/RESULT IN DSML OF APPEAL. ALL JUSTICES CONCUR. C/ATTYS" |
I find it difficult to read the document without being overly critical of the content written by Hoff. In a way it is simply upsetting to read his reasons for wanting the records sealed because, he really believes all the garbage he comes up with to support his motion. Thankfully, the justices of the Oklahoma Supreme Court didn't agree with him at all and because of them ruling the motion as moot.... The document is now public information and this blog has obtained a copy for the public to see.
Below is a link that will allow readers to see the PDF file. Enjoy and more to come!

Wow. What a poorly written and unconvincing legal argument. It's surprising he ever passed the bar in the first place!
Wait. I'm not an attorney or an attorney wannabe. (Nor do I play one on TV.) But do I understand this correctly?
Hoff thinks his record should be sealed because individuals didn't want him to use the truth against them and now that the truth is out there he doesn't want it used against HIM?
John Hoff likes to use "facts"* to harass those that oppose him, but if you use factual information to out Hoff's hypocrisy, he has a hissy fit and asks the court to hide the records.
*Hoff's facts are mostly conjecture and assumption, which the OKBBE states as rational to deny his law license.
He is amazingly stupid. So nice to know that he failed to hide his own turd pile. It stinks. I hope he's embarassed. Bad dog! Rub his nose in it and throw him out.
Ya, right. Problem with that is that he's too self-deluded to FEEL the emotion of embarassment. Also, as a dog lover I resent your comparison: 1. Dogs are loyal, whereas Hoff routinely bites the hand that feeds him. 2. Dogs are useful and helpful to mankind in myriad ways. 3. A barking dog sounds more intelligent than John when he barks. 4. Dogs listen. 5. When dogs make a mess they ARE embarassed, and usually have enough morals and ethics to realize that they made a mistake. John rolls around in his own mess and smears his own crap all over the place. Then he looks around at everyone and expects them to be impressed. 6. Dogs DO roll in the crap of others from time to time...but they don't try to make money at it. Even if they did, though, I'm SURE that they wouldn't defraud the government of unemployment benifits and would report the money they made on the side. B.t.w., is anyone looking into that? I would think that things like that would be open to data requests.
He needs to be removed from Minneapolis. He never finished his Truth in Housing orders, especially regarding the furnace - see the City website for 2226 Bryant N. Send complaints thru the Mpls website as he is living there (supposedly) with certificate of completion and should be fined by the City for not having his certificate! I looked at the house just before he bought it and all the radiators and boiler were blown...that's why I passed on the deal.
John Hoff, slum lord. I sure hope that his renters aren't resorting to the use of space heaters if that furnace is out!
John Hoff- the sensei of self-defeating senselessness and master of the 'moot' point.
