1Opinion of the Court
FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
Dorchen Leidholdt appeals the district court’s dismissal, for failure to state a claim, of her diversity action for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy arising from an article Hustler published about her. She also appeals the district court’s indication that it will award sanctions against her and her attorney. We affirm the dismissal of Leidholdt’s tort claims; we dismiss the sanctions issue for lack of jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
