Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kerry E. Notestine, Robert J. Fries, Sr. Atty., Bracewell & Patterson, Houston, TX, for appellee.

Before SMITH and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges, and WALTER, District Judge.


JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiffs appeal a summary judgment in favor of defendants on claims under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("WARN"). Finding no error, we dismiss the appeal. Concluding that the appeal is frivolous and that plaintiffs' counsel's attacks on opposing counsel and the district court are baseless and scurrilous, we award attorneys' fees and double costs under FED. R.APP.P. 38.
