Roman Polanski asks judge to restore his membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences after he was expelled for misconduct last year.
Fridays five-page filing states that by not giving Polanski sufficient notice of his expulsion, and not giving he or his lawyer to argue his case in person during the appeal, the academy failed to comply with its own rules, policies and regulations.
Polanskis attorney Harland Braun said at the time that Polanski was blindsided by his removal, and learned of it through media reports. He had been an academy member for nearly 50 years at the time of his expulsion, and his films had been nominated for 28 Oscars.
