Bailey's complaints that the referee and the Supreme Court of Florida refused to reopen the record to allow him to submit additional evidence, and his insinuation that the referee was biased against him, do not suffice to demonstrate any defect in the procedural fairness of the Florida proceedings.
Bailey contends that the evidence submitted in the Florida proceedings was insufficient to prove that he misappropriated client funds.[2] The chronology of events underlying the findings of violation is largely undisputed.
Bailey's dispute with the referee's conclusions centers on the inferences to be drawn from those facts, inferences that are ostensibly bolstered by additional evidence later adduced at the trial of his Federal contract claim, and legal arguments concerning whether the facts found amount to a misappropriation of funds.
