1Opinion of the Court
FARRELL, Associate Judge:
This case is before us on review of an order granting summary judgment to appel-lees on the ground of res judicata, as well as an order imposing the sanction of attorney’s fees against appellants under Super.Ct.Civ.R. 16. We sustain the judgment in part, but hold that it could not properly be entered on that ground with respect to certain claims that could not have been raised at the time of the order said to have had preclusive effect. We also hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the sanction of attorney’s fees.
