ORDER AND JUDGMENT¹ 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

The district court denied Defendant-Appellant's motion for Rule 11 sanctions, finding that Plaintiffs-Appellees' lawsuit had a plausible factual and legal basis, and that Plaintiffs-Appellees' lawyer was not motivated by inappropriate considerations. A district court's decision on Rule 11 sanctions is reviewed under the abuse of discretion standard. See White v. General Motors Corp., 977 F.2d 499, 501 (10th Cir. 1992). We do not believe that the district court abused its discretion in denying the requested sanctions. The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.

AFFIRMED.
