Vyskocil denies the investment firm's motion for sanctions against the consultant firm's former counsel, Gibson Dunn, in a suit alleging the consultant was hired by the nation of Qatar to hack into the investment firm's principal's email servers to smear his reputation.

The court notes that the complaint is "fundamentally flawed" and provides the court with no basis to reopen the previous case. Additionally, to the extent that he attempts to assert a new claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the addition cannot revive a "barred action."
