1Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER BARRING FUTURE VIOLATIONS OF BANKRUPTCY RULE 9011
MARVIN ISGUR, Bankruptcy Judge.
This Court must determine whether an attorney violates Fed. R. BaniíRP. 9011 when the attorney seeks recovery of attorney’s fees for the filing of a motion for relief from the automatic stay on an un-dersecured claim. Because there is a complete absence of any authority supporting such an award of attorney’s fees — and an abundance of authority providing that such an award cannot be made — the Court determines that Rule 9011 sanctions are appropriate.
