we note that Norman’s opening brief in this appeal was correctly characterized by defendants as “bombastic,” and filled with “ad homimem [sic] attacks.” .... These quotes constitute a mere sampling; there are many more instances of similar derogatory phrasing scattered throughout Norman’s 60-page opening brief. We find the unnecessary commentary in Norman’s brief lacking in professionalism. We expect civility and decorum from counsel who appear in this court, and this brief falls short of that expectation. We trust counsel will meet these standards in the future.
