Finally, we note that S Industries'
behavior in this case is not isolated. As
the cases collected in our first footnote
show, its actions here look to be part of
a pattern of abusive and improper
litigation with which the company and Lee
Stoller, its sole shareholder, have
burdened the courts of this circuit. As
Judge Gottschall in the district court
noted in a different case, the company
filed at least 33 trademark infringement
lawsuits in the district court between
1995 and 1997. S Industries, Inc. v.
Ecolab Inc., 1999 WL 162285 (N.D. Ill.
Mar. 16, 1999).

Not only did S Industries contest the
attorney fee amounts, but a year after
the award was granted, S Industries filed
a motion to dismiss the award based on a
"prior settlement agreement" between the
parties. Judge Lindberg found that no
such agreement existed and denied the
motion to scratch the award. Centra 2000
then filed a motion seeking a final
determination of the fee award.
Originally, the hearing on this motion
was scheduled for August 5,1999. However,
S Industries' attorney found this date
inconvenient and asked to appear by
phone. The request for a telephonic
appearance was denied, but the hearing
was rescheduled. Although it had been
given notice of the new hearing date, no
one appeared on behalf of S Industries.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Judge
Lindberg, having reviewed all the
submitted papers, awarded attorneys fees
of $136,803.
