Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit April 21, 2005, No. 04-2861 (CBS Broadcasting, Inc. v. Echostar Communications Corp.)

OPINION

BARRY, Circuit Judge.

Echostar Communications Corp. (“Echostar”) appeals from an award of discovery sanctions by the District Court. Although we have grave doubts as to the propriety of any such sanctions on the record presented, we need not reach that question because Echostar was denied notice and an opportunity to be heard before sanctions were ordered. See Angelico v.
