HILLMAN, District Judge.
The appellants, Geoffrey L. Silverman and John D. Hertzberg, appeal from the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s imposition of Fed. R. Bankr.P. 9011 sanctions against them in connection with their representation of a bankrupt West Michigan shopping mall. The bankruptcy order also imposed sanctions against the Big Rapids Mall Associates (“Debtor”) and the Debtor’s principals, August Urbanek and Roy McGlothin. This appeal, however, concerns only the imposition of sanctions against the attorneys (“Appellants”). For the reasons that follow, we reverse.
