RICHARD W. LEWIS, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. DAVID ANTONUCCIO, Defendant, LOUIS MORTILLARO; et al., Defendants, and LINDA DUFF; TYRONE DUFF, Defendants - Appellants.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 3:99-cv-00386-LRH-WGC MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
Larry R. Hicks, District Judge, Presiding
Before: GOODWIN, BYBEE, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Linda and Tyrone Duff appeal pro se from the district court's judgment imposing monetary sanctions against them under its inherent power. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.
In prior Appeal No. 08-17314, this court rejected the Duffs' contentions that the district court lacked jurisdiction over the underlying action and to sanction them. We do not revisit those arguments here. See Leslie Salt Co. v. United States, 55 F.3d 1388, 1392 (9th Cir. 1995) (under the law of the case doctrine, one panel of an appellate court will not reconsider matters resolved in a prior appeal before another panel in the same case).
We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal or in the reply brief, including the Duffs' request that Lewis or his counsel be sanctioned. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).
The Duffs' request of February 14, 2014, that appellee's answering brief be rejected for failure to comply with the court's January 22, 2014 order, is denied.
The Duffs' request for a decision on their appeal is granted.
AFFIRMED.
