Unpublished Dispositionalexander M. Butcher, et al., Plaintiffs-appellants, v. Steven J. Fishman, et al., Defendants-appellees, 921 F.2d 276 (6th Cir. 1990)

Plaintiffs appeal orders of the district court dismissing their action and assessing sanctions.

Having had the benefit of oral argument, and having carefully considered the record on appeal and the briefs of the parties, we are unable to say that the district court erred in either regard.

As the reasons why the orders of the district court should be affirmed have been articulated by the district court, the issuance of a written opinion by this court would be duplicative and serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, the orders of the district court are affirmed upon the reasoning of that court appearing in the transcript of the hearing conducted on February 8, 1990, and in the recommendations of the magistrate concerning the award of sanctions.

As we are not inclined to make the determination required by Fed. R. App. P. 38, we decline to award damages or double costs to appellees. Costs are, however, to be taxed against appellants pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 39.
