From the supplier: Attorneys representing plaintiffs in some civil cases should consider suing defendants who improperly delay proceedings via frivolous interlocutory appeals. Plaintiffs in such cases may be entitled to both dismissals and sanctions under 42 U.S.C. 1983 and 28 U.S.C. 1927, respectively. Attorneys representing government employees and officials who possess absolute or qualified immunity should avail themselves of this option.
