ORDER

The opinion of the district court is affirmed on the basis of its order filed November 12, 1991 with two exceptions. First, Count 3 charged that James McKeever and Alpha Omega Publishing Corp., dba Omega Financial Services, failed to comply with a Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulation regarding the publication of disclaimers. Since there was no causal connection between that omission and the claimed damages, inclusion of Count 3 was sanctionable for that reason. Second, sanctions are awarded under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 11 and 28 U.S.C. § 1927.

Attorneys fees and costs are awarded against Charles Jarvis Murray, pursuant to Rule 38, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, for filing of a frivolous appeal. This case is remanded to the district court for the setting of fees.

SO ORDERED.
