SUMMARY ORDER

Michael McAuliffe, Thomas DeKoker and Stephen Kelly (together, “Appellants”) appeal from (1) the June 4, 2013 opinion and order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Carter, J.) denying their motion to dismiss the complaint as a sanction for misconduct by the plaintiff, Sean Thomas; and (2) the January 26, 2016 opinion and order of the district court granting Thomas attorneys’ fees and costs for the second trial, held after the district court vacated the first verdict entered in Thomas’s favor as a sanction for Thomas’s misconduct. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, procedural history, and specification of issues for review.

“It is well settled that district courts enjoy wide discretion in sanctioning litigants appearing before them.” Novak v. Wolpoff & Abramson LLP, 536 F.3d 175, 177 (2d Cir. 2008). “We review all aspects of a [district [cjourt’s decision to impose sanctions for abuse of discretion.” Schlaifer Nance & Co., Inc. v. Estate of Warhol, 194 F.3d 323, 333 (2d Cir. 1999). Tlje reviewing court must ensure that the district court’s sanctions are not based on “an erroneous view of the law or on a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence.” Id. An assessment of the evidence is clearly erroneous where the reviewing court “is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” Zervos v. Verizon N.Y., Inc., 252 F.3d 163, 168 (2d Cir. 2001). The imposition of sanctions would also be improper where the decision “cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions.” Id. at 169.

Appellants here argue that the district court abused its discretion by not imposing harsher sanctions on Thomas, either by dismissing Thomas’s complaint or by requiring Thomas to pay their attorneys’ fees and costs from the first trial. We disagree. The district court acted well within its discretion in rejecting the sanctions sought by Appellants, instead imposing the remedy of a new trial (at which Thomas prevailed) and denying Thomas attorneys’ fees for the first trial. Harsher sanctions were available to the district court, but it did not exceed its discretion in choosing the sanctions it imposed.

We have considered the remainder of Appellants’ arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly* the judgment of the district court hereby is AFFIRMED.
