How later courts describe this case

  • upholding bankruptcy court’s sanction against attorney for reasserting arguments made in numerous other pleadings
  • bankruptcy judge had jurisdiction to sanction claimant’s attorney since sanction itself was “core” proceeding in which bankruptcy judge could enter final order
  • "Although we upheld a bankruptcy court’s imposition of a sanction under § 1927 [in TCI Ltd.] ... we did not discuss the court's jurisdiction to impose the sanction.”
