• LEVIN ASSOCIATES v ROGERS
  Appellant in a Texas Appeals case in which said Appellant  appealed district court's imposition monetary sanctions on him for violations of discovery orders during litigation. Appellant asserted that the district court erred by imposing sanctions upon him personally since he was not the “advising attorney” responsible for the discovery abuses. The Appellant also held that the court's judgment  should be vacated because he did not receive adequate notice of the sanctions hearing and was denied an opportunity to be heard, a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. His final claim was that the attorney's fees and expenses awarded by the court were excessive. The Appeals Court found that all arguments lacked merit and affirmed the original decision.
