Plaintiffs-Appellants,

DB ISLAMORADA, LLC,
Defendant-Appellee.
________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(January 19, 2011)
Before BARKETT, MARCUS and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

-- 1 of 2 --

This appeal involves a challenge to sanctions imposed by the Bankruptcy Court
on David Finnegan (client) and William P. Kelly, Jr. (lawyer). We have studied the
record and the briefs and have had the benefit of oral argument. The record simply
fails to support the sanctions imposed on David Finnegan. On the other hand, there
is ample evidence supporting the sanctions imposed upon William P. Kelly, Jr.
The sanctions imposed upon David Finnegan are vacated; the sanctions
imposed upon William P. Kelly, Jr. are affirmed.
VACATED in part; AFFIRMED in part.
