_____________ No. 96-1449MN _____________ State of Minnesota, * * Appellee, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the District v. * of Minnesota. * Richard W. Bullock, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * _____________ Submitted: March 20, 1996 Filed: March 26, 1996 _____________ Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. _____________ PER CURIAM. Richard W. Bullock appeals the district court's order imposing a $1,000 sanction after Bullock filed a second notice to remove state criminal proceedings against him on the eve of the state trial. We find no abuse of discretion by the district court. Although Bullock was given an opportunity to show cause why he should not be sanctioned, Bullock made no attempt to oppose the district court's finding that his successive removal action was maliciously and frivolously instituted for the improper purpose of delay, or to provide any information why the amount should have been less. See Pope v. Federal Express Corp.,
49 F.3d 1327, 1328 (8th Cir. 1995); Kirk Capital Corp. v. Bailey,
16 F.3d 1485, 1490 (8th Cir. 1994). We thus affirm the sanction ordered by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. -2-
