PER CURIAM:
In these cross appeals, both parties appeal the district
court’s order (entered after a hearing upon remand from this Court)
that sanctioned Kilborn $7500, which represented a portion of
Bakhir’s attorney’s fees and costs. We review such an order for
abuse of discretion. See Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 55
(1991). Because we find no abuse of discretion in either the
imposition of sanctions or the monetary amount of the sanction, we
affirm the district court’s order as to both appeals based on the
reasoning of the district court. See Kilborn v. Bakhir, No. CA-01-
1123-A (E.D. Va. Jan. 13, 2004). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
