Sanders v. MOLLA
District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
NEWMAN, Senior Judge:
Tenant Donna Sanders appeals the trial court’s ruling that both parties’ consent was required to renew a real-property lease and its imposition of Rule 11 sanctions on her without a prior show-cause order. We affirm the court’s ruling on the renewal issue based on its reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous provision to which the parties agreed. We lack jurisdiction to rule on the trial court’s erroneous, nonfinal sanctions order but are confident that the trial court will comply -with Rule 11 if it issues a final order with respect to sanctions.
