Dissenting Opinion

WALLACE, Circuit Judge,

dissenting:

I respectfully dissent. I would impose sanctions on Shanker for “grossly abuspng] the judicial process by strategically holding back claims that could have, and should have, been asserted in the first lawsuit (and would have been decided earlier but for counsel’s procedural errors in raising those claims).” Save the Peaks Coal. v. U.S. Forest Serv., 669 F.3d 1025, 1028 (9th Cir. 2012).
