Hamilton v. Boise Cascade Express, 10th Cir. Mar. 17, 2008
06-6308 Hamilton v. Boise Cascade Express
Before KELLY, EBEL, and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges.
McCONNELL, Circuit Judge. The district court found that Appellant, attorney Mark Hammons, “multiplied the[se] proceedings unreasonably, vexatiously, and recklessly” by filing a motion to enforce a settlement agreement that misstated opposing counsel’s position without a reasonable basis, costing his opponents a needless expense of $7,974.20. It therefore levied a sanction in that amount against Mr. Hammons personally under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. Mr. Hammons appeals the award and amount of the sanction. We hold that the district court was within its discretion in finding Appellant’s conduct objectively unreasonable and in determining the amount of the sanction as it did, and so affirm. … Hamilton v. Boise Cascade Express.
