Former Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker partner Richard Lerner and Long Island attorney Frederick Oberlander, who are under investigation for criminal contempt, have been ordered by a federal judge to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for flooding the court with a “vexatious” and “oppressive” 742-page “documentary stew.”
Eastern District Judge I. Leo Glasser (See Profile), who is considering a motion to unseal records related to a 1998 criminal case, said in a four-page order issued Nov. 13 that Lerner and Oberlander submitted an enormous file “having no relevance to the very discrete issue pending before the Court.”
