“I sat in the front row of the courtroom, listening to the argument in the case on calendar just before ours (one in which we represented a Fortune 500 company in the prosecution of a trademark infringement action).  The criminal defendant standing before the judge had ample tattoos, which the judge came off the bench to examine, himself lifting the shirt off the defendant’s back, Fourth Amendment be damned.  The judge then told the criminal defendant that the judge would pay for the removal of the tattoos, but not for anesthetic: “I’m on a judge’s salary, not like one of these $500-an-hour lawyers,” said His Honor as he waived dismissively in my direction.  When I stood up to argue our case, the judge accused me of lying, and I was compelled to telephone my associate in front of the judge to verify my position.  Ultimately, we won a permanent injunction against the infringer and successfully moved to have the infringer held in contempt of court for violating the injunction, resulting in monetary sanctions.  Henry Schein, Inc. v. Certified Business Supply, Inc., U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Case No. SACV03-1662 DOC.”
