SRR PARTNERS, LLC d/b/a SORREL RIVER RANCH RESORT & SPA, JJ’S MERCANTILE, LLC, and ELIZABETH RAD, Case No. 4:21-cv-00108-DN-PK District Judge David Nuffer Magistrate Judge Paul Kohler Defendants. Defendants SRR Partners, LLC d/b/a Sorrel River Ranch Resort & Spa (“SRR”), JJ’s Mercantile, LLC’s (“JJ’s”), and Elizabeth Rad filed Defendants’ Motion for Rule 11 Sanctions (“Motion”). 1 The Motion and other papers filed 2 outline the essential facts of this case, though the parties vigorously dispute the proper result. Neither party’s filings are very helpful or convincing.

Careful review has been made of the pleadings, motions, prior orders, and the Motion and related filings. Defendants have not demonstrated that Plaintiffs’ conduct violates Rule 11 to warrant the imposition of sanctions. Accordingly, 1 Docket no. 39, filed December 29, 2022. 2 Docket no 41, filed January 13, 2023; docket no. 45, filed January 30, 2023; docket no. 12, filed December 23, 2021; docket no. 18, filed January 11, 2022; docket no. 23, filed January 20, 2022; docket no. 24, filed January 28, 2022. 3 Xyngular v.
