MESKILL, Circuit Judge:
We are asked to review a district judge’s application of Rule 8(b) of the Individual Assignment and Calendar Rules of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Rule 8(b) authorizes district judges in the Eastern District to “assess reasonable costs directly against counsel whose action has obstructed the effective administration of the court’s business.” Pursuant to this rule, Judge Platt assessed costs of $1,500 against John J. Sutter, Esq., for causing a three-day delay in the start of a trial. 1
