OPINION
REDDEN, Chief Judge.
Sause Brothers brought the present action to limit its liability for an oil spill, pursuant to 46 U.S.C.App. § 183, and Rule F of the Supplemental Rules for Certain Admiralty and Maritime Claims of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. I previously ruled that Sause Brothers cannot be exonerated from or limit its liability, pursuant to 46 U.S.C.App. § 183(a). Now before me is Sause Brothers’ motion to strike the LeBlanc claimants’ claim for attorneys’ fees. A hearing on the motion was held on September 23, 1991. For the reasons that follow, I deny the motion.
