MEMORANDUM **
Sandra Brands appeals the district court’s grant of Defendant First Transit’s (1) motion to dismiss (No. 06-55219); (2) motion for summary judgment (No. 06-55219); and (3) a motion for sanctions under Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 and 28 U.S.C. § 1927 (No. 06-56761). Brands also appeals the district court’s grant of Defendant First Transit’s and Defendant Dr. Michael D. Hadley’s motion to strike (06-55219).
