Filing

Filed opinion of the court by Judge Wood. Hansmeier is in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and has no standing to appeal the sanctions against him. His appeal is therefore DISMISSED. Because the contempt sanction imposed against Steele was a criminal contempt imposed without the process required by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, it is VACATED. Finally, the district court acted within its discretion by imposing the discovery sanction against Steele, and so that part of its order is therefore AFFIRMED. Lastly, we have before us Smith s Motion for Damages, Attorneys Fees and Costs Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 38 and 28 U.S.C. 1927. In light of the fact that we are REMANDING the contempt portion of the district court s order, we DENY this motion. Each party will bear its own costs on appeal. Diane P. Wood, Chief Judge; Michael S. Kanne, Circuit Judge and Diane S. Sykes, Circuit Judge. [6768513-1] [6768513] [15-2440, 15-2682]
