U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-2097
and No: 04-2187
District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Heaney and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Attorney discipline. District court did not abuse its
discretion in removing Moll and his firm from the plaintiffs' steering
committee as a sanction for violating three pretrial rules and for acting in
bad faith; however, the court erred in finding Moll had committed perjury
and had violated two other rules; $50,000 sanction imposed against Moll
is set aside, and the question of the appropriate monetary sanction is
remanded for further proceedings in light of the court's opinion; district
court erred in sua sponte barring Moll's associate from practice in the
District Court of Minnesota because it failed to provide her with notice
that it was considering sanction against her.
