Parties | Julia McCain Lampkin ASAM v. Wanda DEVEREAUX, et al. 2950291. |
Decision Date | 14 June 1996 |
Court | Alabama Court of Civil Appeals |
Julia McCain Lampkin Asam, pro se.
J. Anthony McLain, General Counsel, Alabama State Bar, Montgomery, for Appellees.
Julia McCain Lampkin Asam appeals from a summary judgment in favor of Wanda D. Devereaux, individually and in her official capacity as the chairman of the disciplinary board of the Alabama State Bar Association. Asam's complaint contained allegations regarding the tort of outrage, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and various due process and civil rights violations. Asam sought $50 million in damages. Inter alia, Asam contended that Devereaux had failed to give proper notice of a disciplinary hearing, that Devereaux had acted outrageously by not allowing Asam to conduct discovery for that hearing, that Devereaux had violated the ADA by failing to grant Asam's requested continuance, and that Devereaux had acted negligently and wantonly by failing to verify the truth of allegations made against Asam by the Alabama State Bar Association.
Following a hearing, the trial court granted Devereaux's motion for a summary judgment and entered its order, containing the following pertinent language:
Asam's post-judgment motion was denied by operation of law; hence, this appeal. Asam's pro se appeal was transferred from our Supreme Court pursuant to Ala.Code 1975, § 12-2-7(6).

Her brief and other filings contain an array of unsupported allegations and a plethora of unrelated and irrelevant photocopies of documents, including photocopies of news articles, Asam's campaign literature, and some of her medical records. Although she cites numerous legal authorities in her brief, those general authorities simply do not support her disjointed...
