1Opinion of the Court
HUG, Circuit Judge:
Attorney Stephen Yagman appeals from two orders of the district court for the Central District of California: (1) denying a motion to recuse Chief Judge Manuel Real of that district from a case in which Yag-man was both a party and counsel for himself, and (2) imposing sanctions on Yag-man for certain acts and omissions made during the consideration of that motion.
The district court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1). We have jurisdic tion under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm the order denying recusal, but vacate the order imposing sanctions.
