ORDER AFFIRMING BANKRUPTCY COURT’S RULING
ORLANDO L. GARCIA, District Judge.
This is an appeal from the bankruptcy court’s order imposing significant sanctions against attorney Morris Hamm (“Hamm”) for actions he took in apparent representation of the Debtor, Marsha Smyth (“Marsha”) and her mother, Erma Lee Smyth (“Erma Lee”). In a somewhat rambling argument, Hamm raises a litany of errors which he contends merit reversal of the sanctions order. The Court has reviewed those arguments, but finds them to be without merit. Accordingly, the Court affirms the bankruptcy court’s ruling. 1
