Not a bad pay day


Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo has sentenced lawyers Reynaldo O. Yana and Antonio M. Atalig to 30 days in the Iron Bar Motel for charging what Govendo thinks is too much for their 'services'. He thinks they have contempt for his opinion. He is probably right.

Mathematically, it works out pretty nice. At $1,285,500 in fees that pays off at $42, 850 per day in the hoosegow. Not bad pay by most standards. I wonder if they are eating hot dogs or caviar for lunch?

They'll probably try to charge the estate for time spent.

They're playing chicken: Will the lawyers cave? Will Govendo send them back again?

Will the Supreme Court get off of its behind?

No

Doubtful

Highly unlikely
