Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
________________________
(January 28, 2011)
Before TJOFLAT, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
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 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 Plaintiff’s 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.
