United States Sixth Circuit

A district court's imposition of reduced sanctions in favor of plaintiff arising from a copyright dispute is affirmed over claims of error, on appeal and cross-appeal, that: 1) the district court did not have jurisdiction to impose sanctions as the underlying litigation had been settled and the case closed; 2) the sanctions award contravened the terms of a settlement agreement; 3) the district court abused its discretion in awarding sanctions; and 4) the district court abused its discretion in reducing the amount of the sanctions.
