1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:
The district court awarded $6,000 against appellant and his attorneys jointly and severally to sanction a violation of Fed.R.Civ.P. 11. We must decide whether the district court should have issued findings and conclusions of law supporting the award and, if not, whether it is so, large as to constitute an abuse of discretion. We affirm, because both the basis and amount for the award were readily discernible from the trial court record. Thomas v. Capital Securities Services, Inc., 886 F.2d 866, 883 (5th Cir.1988) (en banc). 1
