A day after federal mortgage giant Fannie Mae fired the prominent law firm of Ben-Ezra & Katz, a Miami judge found the firm's founding partner, Marc Ben-Ezra, in contempt of court for filing "sham" foreclosure documents and "wasting the court's time."

On Thursday, Fannie Mae cited document "execution issues" as the reason it terminated the law firm.

Ben-Ezra & Katz becomes the second south Florida law firm making a mass exodus from the foreclosure business.

The Plantation law firm of David J. Stern began dumping thousands of its Fannie Mae cases late last year after evidence of robo-signing and other faulty documents became known.
