UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEBORAH L HARRISON,

Case No. 16-cv-02682-VC

Plaintiff,
ORDER RE SANCTIONS

v.

Re: Dkt. Nos. 23, 25, 26
SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.,
et al.,
Defendants.

The motions by the defendants for sanctions against Marc Applbaum, counsel for the
plaintiff in this matter, are granted. In light of the facts set forth in the motions, none of which
Mr. Applbaum disputes, sanctions are warranted under 28 U.S.C. § 1927 and the Court's inherent
authority. Mr. Applbaum is ordered to personally reimburse Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., et
al. in the amount of $2,475.00 and JPMorgan Chase Bank $3,391.50 for the time and expense he
unnecessarily caused them to undertake.1
In addition, pursuant to the Court's inherent authority, Mr. Applbaum is personally
sanctioned $500.00 for time he unnecessarily caused the Court and its staff, including staff from
the ADR program, to waste. Mr. Applbaum is ordered to pay this amount to the Clerk of the
Court by no later than August 31, 2016.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 4, 2016

Mr. Applbaum's objections to the time records submitted by JPMorgan Chase Bank are not
well-taken.
