ORDER
ALAIMO, Chief Judge.
All that remains in this case is the fallout from the plaintiffs’ November 14, 1983, motion for attorney fees. That motion was denied on February 12, 1985. Now before the Court for disposition is the defendants’ motion to recover from plaintiffs’ attorney, David Roberson, the $10,969.83 in attorney fees, costs and expenses which the defendants expended in resisting the fee application. The Court is of the opinion that sanctions against Roberson for violating Fed.R. Civ.P. 11 are appropriate and shall, therefore, grant defendants’ motion.
