                    Appeal from the United States District Court

except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
                          Submitted November 5, 2012 **
                              Pasadena, California

Before: D.W. NELSON and O’SCANNLAIN, Circuit Judges, and GONZALEZ,
District Judge.***

      J2F Productions, Inc., contends that the district court abused its discretion in

refusing to award it attorneys fees as sanctions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927 or the

court’s inherent powers. We disagree. The district court found that Sarrow’s

attorneys acted neither recklessly nor in bad faith. The record does not support a

conclusion that this was clear error. See Cline v. Indus. Maint. Eng’g &

Contracting Co., 200 F.3d 1223, 1236 (9th Cir. 2000).

      AFFIRMED.




        **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

Court for Southern California, sitting by designation.
