Text: We may discipline an attorney for “conduct unbecoming a member of the court’s bar.” Fed. R. App. P. 46(b), (c). Here, the only inaccurate statements in the Government’s motion for sanctions are its description of (1) the amount of Swanson’s salary and (2) how much taxable income he reported on his return. These statements are immaterial to the issues in this appeal and appear to be based 7 Case: 19-11851 Date Filed: 01/07/2020 Page: 8 of 8 on the Government’s misunderstanding of the allegations in Swanson’s complaint. As such, the inaccuracies are not a deliberate attempt to mislead this Court, and we deny Swanson’s motion for sanctions.
