Editor's note.


The January 2007 edition of The Florida Bar Journal contained an article written by Glenn J. Waldman entitled "Federal Court Sanctions Against Attorneys Under 28 U.S.C. [section]1927--The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Attempts to Divide the Standard for Multiplying the Proceedings in Bad Faith." That piece discussed the case of Amlong & Amlong, P.A. v. Denny's, Inc., 457 F.3d 1180 (11th Cir. 2006), and the preparation of a deposition errata sheet involved in an attorney sanctions award that was overturned in that appeal. The author stated that a client of the Amlong law firm, "with the assistance of the Amlong attorneys, produced a deposition errata sheet consisting of 63 pages and a total of 868 changes" to her deposition. Neither the Journal nor the author meant to imply by that statement that the Amlong attorneys engaged in any unethical or wrongful conduct or that they otherwise were involved in suborning perjury. As clearly explained in the 11th Circuit opinion and the Journal article, the trial judge's entry of sanctions against the Amlongs was invalidated as an abuse of judicial discretion and remanded for further proceedings.
