1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Leonard C. Jaques (“Jaques”), a practicing attorney and unsuccessful defendant in this fraud case filed by a former client, appeals the final order of the district court imposing sanctions for Jaques’s conduct in his deposition.

We affirm the order of the district court.
