PER CURIAM:* Attorney Michael Nevarez was sanctioned by the district court for his conduct in a lawsuit in which his law firm was the plaintiff. Nevarez is the sole shareholder in that firm. We affirmed that sanctions order in appeal number 17-50343. Nevarez then filed a “Motion for Relief” from the sanctions order in the district court, contending that the defendants obtained that order through fraud. The district court denied that motion. We have reviewed Nevarez’s brief and record excerpts, and find no error. AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. * 2
