Kozinski cites himself in opinion
The chief judge of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals cited himself in order to impose sanctions on an attorney who filed a frivolous discipline complaint against a district judge, The Recorder reported.
Judge Alex Kozinski cited only one other case where sanctions were sought for an apparent first transgression - a 1983 ruling he wrote when he was chief judge of the claims court.
Surprised you haven't commented on Kacinski's latest. If you didn't see the list of “funny, odd, and interesting” files discovered on what turned out to be the Kozinski family computer, USLaw.com's Celebrity Justice blog compiled a list at:

We believe Judge Kozinski's awareness of the popularity of these “viral videos” makes him even more qualified to maintain impartiality over a trial involving the interpretation of community standards.
