Is the failure of a lawyer to provide proper documentation sufficient to justify the absence of formal documentation?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Stirn, 73 F.3d 371 (9th Cir. 1995):
Attorney backlog and confusion of hearing schedules does not ordinarily "satisfactorily explain" the lack of formal documentation. Excusable neglect "is not meant to cover the usual excuse that the lawyer is too busy, which can be used, perhaps truthfully, in almost every case." Selph v. Council of the City of Los Angeles, 593 F.2d 881, 884 (9th Cir.1979) (citation omitted).
