983084P.pdf   08/13/1999  Kevin J. Lamson  v.  David A. Russ
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  98-3084
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - bankruptcy. Bankruptcy court did not abuse its 
   discretion when it denied Lamson's motion for sanctions and 
   contempt remedies based on his claim that Russ has filed 
   inaccurate petitions and schedule; however, the court erred in 
   ordering Lamson to pay Russ's attorneys' fees in connection 
   with defending the action because Lamson's substantive claims 
   resulted in recovery of additional assets for the estate.
