In August 2005, Ms. Hahn received a judgment of $3.6 million, plus a property credit and lawyer’s fees, according to court papers. The total of all money judgments in the matrimonial action against Dr. Bartha came to more than $4 million. Ms. Hahn had complained in court papers that he “has fought me every step of the way in the divorce action,” and said she did not expect that he would satisfy the money judgments. The only way to ensure that he complied, she said, was to have the house sold.

“I have no doubt that respondent will ensconce himself in the marital residence and refuse to leave it after the auction is held,” she said. “He has said many times that he intends to ‘die in my house.’ ”

In April this year, Justice Joan B. Lobis of State Supreme Court ordered that his 75 percent interest in the house be sold at auction. The court also ordered that the sheriff evict him from the house no more than 10 days after the auction, and that the sheriff remove three pieces of property — two antique armoires and an antique desk — and turn it over to Ms. Hahn. The furniture belonged to her family, according to the order.

On Friday, a sheriff’s deputy arrived at the house with eviction papers, said Dr. Mantia, who shared his office. If Dr. Bartha was upset, he did not show it, Dr. Mantia said.

2. In his suicide email he hit all of the RW talking points.

He sent it to Faux, Arlen Specter, Shaun Hannity, and the Governator before he blew the place up. Full text is at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,202916,00.html but be forewarned - it's long and rambling. His screed reads much like the typical freepazoid/Hannity listener. It hits a lot of the same stuff they're always going on about, too.
