In Blixseth v. Yellowstone Mountain Club LLC (In re Blixseth), — F. 3d — (9th Cir. August 2015), the 9th Circuit published an “Order re OSC on Sanctions” so you know where this is going. I love this quote:
“[A]ll argue that the appeal was not frivolous because one could have inferred that the bankruptcy judge was biased against [the debtor] from the nineteen accusations that they raised. As explained in our opinion and order to show cause, we find this argument risible.”
Risible? One definition: such as to provoke laughter. Another definition: provoking laughter through being ludicrous.
