1Opinion of the Court
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff’s counsel, Mark Griffin, appeals from the district court’s imposition of sanctions on him personally for filing a motion to reconsider. Plaintiff asked the district court to reconsider its denial of plaintiff’s request for attorney’s fees for successfully obtaining a discovery order compelling the defendant to answer requests for admissions. The district court concluded that the motion to reconsider was an unreasonable and vexatious multiplication of proceedings and, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927, awarded attorney’s fees and costs to the defendant. We reverse.
