   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED][Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - sanctions. District court's imposition of sanctions against
   attorney for filing multiple duplicate state and federal actions is 
   affirmed, as district court did not abuse its discretion. Sanction of 
   50% of defendants' attorneys fees was not unwarranted and permitted under
   the court's inherent power. Sanction of requiring attorney to take and 
   pass a law school course in federal jurisdiction and suspension pending
   payment of the attorneys fee and law school course is remanded to the
   district court for further proceedings.
