Lineas Aereas Allegro S.A. de C.V. v. Pegasus Aviation Inc.
Citation: 141 F. App'x 643Docket: No. 03-17132
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; August 12, 2005; Federal Appellate Court
Lineas Aéreas Allegro, S.A. de C.V. (Allegro) appeals two district court orders finding it in contempt for violating an enforcement order, with sanctions awarded against it. The appellate court affirms the district court’s decision, holding jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1291. Allegro failed to present its arguments in the contempt proceedings, waiving them for appeal. The court noted that Allegro's references to Mexican law did not raise sufficient issues relevant to the contempt finding. At the contempt hearing, Allegro admitted to non-compliance with the enforcement order, solidifying the contempt ruling. Additionally, the district court's imposition of sanctions was deemed within its discretion, as Allegro did not contest the loss amount claimed by Pegasus. The district court retains jurisdiction over ongoing liability and damages matters and may adjust its contempt order based on new evidence or legal arguments. The decision is not for publication and cannot be cited, following Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
