IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-30929

Summary Calendar

BELVA WEBB; FAITH WEBB,

Plaintiffs-Appellants

v.

JOSEPH P. MORELLA,

Defendant-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Louisiana

USDC No. 6:10-CV-1557

Before SMITH, WIENER, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

This case is before us on appeal for the second time, having been 

remanded the first time for the district court to determine the precise quantum 

of sanctions imposed under Rule 11. This time, the sole issue on appeal is the 

district court’s ruling on remand that denied Plaintiffs-Appellants’ Rule 59 

Motion and determined the precise amounts of the sanctions under Rule 11.

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 14-30929

2

Like everything heretofore presented by Plaintiffs-Appellants and their 

counsel, both to the district court and to us in the prior appeal, the instant 

appeal is totally without basis in fact and in law and wholly unmeritorious. 

We therefore affirm all rulings presented in this appeal, but note in passing 

that Plaintiffs-Appellants and their counsel are fortunate that DefendantAppellee has not sought further sanctions or penalties under Federal Rule of 

Appellate Procedure 38 for a frivolous appeal. We nevertheless caution 

Plaintiffs-Appellants and their counsel against further prolongation of this 

unduly protracted and meritless litigation, lest they incur additional sanctions 

and penalties.

AFFIRMED.
