Sure Fill & Seal, Inc., vs GFF, Inc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Sure Fill & Seal, Inc., appeals the district court’s order entered on August 4, 2010. In short, the order enforced the parties’ settlement agreement and denied Sure Fill & Seal’s motion for sanctions against GFF, Inc., and its counsel, Brendan Thorpe, pursuant to Rules 11(c), 26(g), and 37(a)(5) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C. § 1927, the district *268 court’s inherent power, and state law. Sure Fill & Seal contends that the district court erred in enforcing the settlement agreement and concluding that the agreement precluded its motion for sanctions. It therefore asks that we vacate the order and remand the case “for a fuller consideration of Plaintiffs allegations of misconduct on the part of Attorney Thorpe and/or defendant GFF, Inc.” Appellant’s brief at 44.

We find no merit at all in this appeal. We agree with the district court’s interpretation of the settlement agreement and the reasons stated for denying the motion for sanctions.

AFFIRMED.
