Per Medtronic Navigation, Inc. v. BrainLAB Medizinische Computersystems Gmbh,
Slip Copy, 2008 WL 410413 (D. Colo. Feb. 12, 2008):

Wisdom, 414 F.3d 715, 722-24 (7th Cir.2005) (discussing circuit split and concluding that ? § 1927 does not provide a legal basis for an order of fees against an entity like a law firm that is not itself ?admitted to practice? ?). The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has not addressed this issue.
