1Opinion of the Court
SKINNER, District Judge.
These are cross appeals from the imposition of a sanction against Paul A. Piaskoski (“Piaskoski”), attorney for the Johnson and Hitchcock interests, in favor of A.W. Chesterton Company (“the defendant”), under Fed.R.Civ.P. 11. Piaskoski asserts that it was error to impose the sanction. The defendant counters that it was an abuse of discretion for the district judge to impose only 20% of the attorney’s fees incurred by it in defense of allegedly unwarranted claims. We affirm the imposition of a sanction and remand for further consideration of the amount.
