1Opinion of the Court
PER curiam:.
Before this Panel for review are two orders from the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts — one entered on June 17, 1996, denying the debtors’ motion to recuse the bankruptcy judge, and the other entered on September 17, 1996, imposing sanctions in the amount of $8,000 against debtors’ counsel, under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9011. This appeal involves the conduct of debtors’ counsel (Zeida) who, in the view of the bankruptcy judge, crossed the bounds of zealous advocacy into the area of sanctionable conduct. For the reasons stated below, we affirm both orders.
