Attorneys for the ex-wife of Xerox Corp.’s former general counsel who also served as a deputy White House counsel are now taking steps to collect a $28.6 million judgment against him now that the U.S. Supreme Court has foreclosed his final chance at an appeal.
The high court on Oct. 11 denied without comment a petition for a writ of certiorari by J. Michael Farren, who served as deputy White House counsel during the George W. Bush administration and was Xerox’s general counsel from 2003-07. Last summer, Farren petitioned the Supreme Court to hear his appeal of the civil default judgment, which was entered by a Connecticut trial judge in 2013 after Farren failed to show up for the trial.
