    Plaintiff filed a civil action for a tax refund under 26 U.S.C. Sec. 7422, as authorized by 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1346(a)(1), naming the Internal Revenue Service and a former business partner, John Devine, Jr., as defendants. Both defendants moved to dismiss the complaint and these motions were ultimately granted. The court also imposed Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 sanctions against plaintiff, a member of the bar of Michigan, in the order denying plaintiff's motion to reconsider. This appeal followed. On appeal the parties have briefed the issues, plaintiff and defendant Devine proceeding pro se.
