1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
We revisit this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit. We previously denied Christopher J. Mylett relief from adverse judgment rejecting his demands, but remanded for clarification of an award of attorney’s fees. Mylett now appeals the assessment of attorney’s fees as clarified, and his attorney, David T. Lopez, appeals the denial of a motion for reconsideration of Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 sanctions. We reverse the award of 42 U.S.C. § 1988 attorney’s fees against Mylett and vacate the imposition of Rule 11 sanctions against Lopez, remanding the latter for hearing as directed herein.
