12. Turning to Kysylyczyn's challenge to the merits of the district court's order declaring him a frivolous litigant, Kysylyczyn focuses largely on his contention that a prior opinion of this court vacated not just the contempt order entered against him but also vacated the 2019 attorney-fee award that is the basis of his July 23 and March 30 motions. See MacNabb v. Kysylyczyn, No. A20-1172, 2021 WL 3722084 (Minn.App. Aug. 23, 2021), rev. denied (Minn. Nov. 16, 2021). He maintains that the district court thus abused its discretion in concluding that his July 23 and March 30 motions were not likely to succeed.
