Syllabus

Motion; attorney fees; sanctions; R.C. 2323.51; Civ.R. 11; abuse of discretion. Judgment affirmed. Nothing in the limited record before this court establishes that appellees or their counsel's conduct was sanctionable under R.C. 2323.51's objective egregious-conduct standard or Civ.R. 11's subjective willfulness standard. The appellants fail to cite any authority in support of their contention that the standards set forth in R.C. 2323.51 and Civ.R. 11 apply to appellees and their counsel's conduct or are otherwise satisfied by this set of facts. Under these circumstances and in lieu of any authority supporting sanctions in this instance, we decline to find that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the appellants' R.C. 2323.51 and Civ.R 11 motion.
