Pamela Salas v. John David Rosdeutscher

Syllabus

Plaintiff's attorneys appeal the trial court's imposition of sanctions against them in the amount of $68,617.28 and the denial of their second motion to disqualify the trial court judge. We affirm the trial court's discretionary decision to impose sanctions, but we vacate the amount of sanctions awarded and remand for the trial court to calculate the reasonable amount of monetary sanctions in keeping with the procedures and considerations outlined in this opinion. We have determined that Plaintiff's attorneys' issue regarding the trial court's denial of their second motion to recuse is moot. Finally, we decline to award attorney's fees on appeal.
