Carmen Bryant v. J.D. Britt and Mattie Britt, Docket No. 04-4669-Cv
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided August 23, 2005No. 161PublishedCited by 59 opinions
1Per curiam
Plaintiff-Appellant Carmen Bryant appeals from a decision and order of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York (William M. Skretny, Judge) denying her motion for attorney’s fees and costs under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c), and for sanctions under Fed. R.Civ.P. 11.
