discussion of the 1992 malpractice lawsuit that petitioner
brought against Mr. Norris for the omission of the $4 million
from petitioner’s 1986 return occurred on the cross-examination
of Mr. Norris:
Q All right. And is it true that you denied
liability –- any liability for malpractice in that
case?
A I really don’t remember what I said or didn’t say.
I would assume that that’s true, but I don’t know for
sure. I don’t remember the case now at all.
Q This would’ve been about eight years ago.
A Yes.
Q Did you get sued often?
A No, I have never been sued before.
Q And your testimony then is: you got sued and
don’t remember anything.
A What I’m saying is that I turned it over to the
attorney who is representing me and the insurance
company, and he did whatever he needed to do, and I was
involved to a very small degree.
Q What was the result of the lawsuit?
A It was, I think, withdrawn, I believe. I think it
was withdrawn.
Q And you didn’t have to pay any money, did you, as
a result of this lawsuit to Paul Bilzerian.
A No, not to him.
Q To anybody?
A Oh, I paid legal fees, and if it would’ve been my
insurance company would’ve paid. I wouldn’t have paid
him anyhow.
Q Do you remember any depositions in connection with
that lawsuit?
A I don’t, but I won’t say that there wasn’t, but
the thing is is that, as I said, that whole thing is
just been –- I have forgot it all. It was not
important for me to remember, and I haven’t gone back
and reviewed any papers.
