Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HILL, Senior Circuit Judge:
Appellants, twelve Alabama public school teachers, appeal the district court’s imposition of sanctions pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Although the appellants do not challenge the district court’s ruling on the merits, they contend that the court’s fee award was improper. They also contend that the district court failed to afford them the due process protections required by this court’s decision in Donaldson v. Clark, 819 F.2d 1551 (11th Cir.1987). We agree with appellants that the district court’s imposition of sanctions was improper.
