1Opinion of the Court
HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge.
This is a case in which the dispute between the attorneys has outlasted the underlying legal claims. The district judge imposed sanctions pursuant to Rule 11 and Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on counsel for Magnus Electronics, Inc. (Magnus) after a long history of friction between opposing counsels. Counsel for Magnus appeals. We affirm the district judge’s sanction of $6,631.13 in attorneys’ fees but vacate the district judge’s decision to add $1,000 to the amount of attorneys’ fees requested.
