Before: McKEOWN, GOULD, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

      Lydia Cornell and other plaintiffs (collectively, “Cornell”) appeal the district

court’s dismissal of their copyright infringement action against Stephanie King and

other defendants (collectively, “King”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

      Cornell raises three separate issues regarding three separate orders in her

opening brief. However, Cornell’s notice of appeal mentions only the district

court’s ruling on her motion for sanctions, attorney’s fees, and costs. Where a

party “seeks to argue the merits of an order that does not appear on the face of the

notice of appeal,” we consider two factors: “(1) whether the intent to appeal a

specific judgment can be fairly inferred, and (2) whether the appellee was

prejudiced by the mistake.” Shapiro ex rel. Shapiro v. Paradise Valley Unified

Sch. Dist. No. 69, 374 F.3d 857, 863 (9th Cir. 2004) (internal quotation marks

omitted).

      Cornell fails to mention in her notice of appeal the other district court orders

she raises in her opening brief. Cornell nonetheless seeks this court’s review of

whether the district court erred by denying her motion to remand the case and by

failing to establish subject matter jurisdiction prior to determining that the



                                           2
defendant was not in default and that Keith G. Wileman was the attorney of record.

These questions cannot be fairly inferred from Cornell’s notice of appeal. The

district court’s denial of Cornell’s motion seeking sanctions, attorney’s fees, and

costs is the only matter properly before this court.

      We review de novo whether the district court applied the correct legal

standard in denying Cornell’s motion for sanctions, attorney’s fees, and costs.

Thomas v. City of Tacoma, 410 F.3d 644, 647 (9th Cir. 2005). We review for

abuse of discretion the district court’s award decision. Ansley v. Ameriquest

Mortg. Co., 340 F.3d 858, 861 (9th Cir. 2003) (reviewing for abuse of discretion

award of fees and costs associated with removal or remand under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1447(c)); In re Keegan Mgmt. Co., Sec. Litig., 78 F.3d 431, 433 (9th Cir. 1996)

(reviewing for abuse of discretion Rule 11 sanctions).

       The district court found that Cornell failed to comply with the Rule 11 “safe

harbor” provision. This provision requires the motion to be served 21 days before

filing to afford an attorney an opportunity to correct a challenged filing or to

withdraw altogether. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)(2); see also Barber v. Miller, 146 F.3d

707, 710 (9th Cir. 1998). The district court also found Cornell provided “no

evidence in support of [her] motion,” and that the record revealed that King

“engaged in no misconduct warranting [the district court] to exercise its discretion


                                           3
to award sanctions under any legal authority.” Cornell argues that the district

court abused its discretion by refusing to consider all of her evidence and by

applying the wrong legal standard. Nothing in the record supports Cornell’s claim

that the district court “based its ruling on an erroneous view of the law or a clearly

erroneous assessment of the evidence.” Townsend v. Holman Consulting Corp.,

929 F.2d 1358, 1366 (9th Cir. 1990) (quoting Cooter v. Gell, 496 U.S. 384, 405

(1990)).

      AFFIRMED.
