Verna Alden (Alden), executor of William Alden's estate, and her attorneys were sanctioned by the district court, on the application of defendant Genie Industries, for voluntarily dismissing their wrongful death suit with the intent to refile it. Alden and her attorney challenged the sanctions through a certiorari action in this court, and Genie appealed on the ground that the court's sanctions should have been more severe.1
