US Bank National Association et al v. Gunn

Filing 264

MEMORANDUM ORDER Denying 260 Motion for Sanctions. Signed by Judge Richard G. Andrews on 8/5/2015. (nms)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE

US BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
et al.,
Plaintiffs,
C.A. No. 11-1155-RGA

v.
LAMAR GUNN,
Defendant.

MEMORANDUM ORDER

Defendant filed a motion for sanctions. (D.I. 260). Plaintiffs responded. (D.I. 261).
The motion is filed months after trial, and does not appear to contain any new allegations
that are not in Defendant's multiple previous motions that are of the same vein. It therefore
presents nothing that I need to resolve (again).
One thing Defendant says does need to be addressed. Defendant characterizes the
litigation as "frivolous." It is true Plaintiffs lost the trial. The litigation, however, was not
frivolous. I have no doubt that Plaintiffs were assisted in the sale of the property in May 2012 by
the March 2012 grant of the preliminary injunction. Plaintiffs may bring to mind Inspector Javert
in their pursuit of Defendant subsequent to the sale of the property, but their pursuit of the
litigation was a business judgment about which I do not have all relevant information. Defendant
does not, however, bring to mind Jean Valjean.

The motion for sanctions (D.I. 260) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this

b day of August 2015.
