1Opinion of the Court
HULL, Circuit Judge:
In this attorney negligence case, plaintiffs OFS Fitel LLC and OFS BrightWave LLC (collectively, “Fitel”) appeal the district court’s final judgment of dismissal, contending the district court abused its discretion in imposing discovery sanctions. Defendant Epstein, Becker & Green, P.C. (“EBG”) moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. After review and oral argument, we conclude that jurisdiction exists over the appeal, and we affirm in part and reverse in part the district court’s sanctions order and dismissal of Fitel’s claims.
