1Opinion of the Court
TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, attorney Michael J. Ro-vell challenges a rather modest ($450 plus 4 hours of attorneys fees) sanction order issued against him stemming from his representation of The Jolly Group, Ltd. in a breach of contract action against Medline Industries, Inc. For reasons we will explain, we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the sanctions, but we also deny Medline’s cross-appeal asking us to significantly enlarge the scope of the penalty: Medline seeks a more robust sanction order — in excess of $30,000 (as of May 2004)…
