Docket entry

130503 Shebelskie v. Brown 01/10/2014 In sanctioning two Virginia attorneys pursuant to Code § 8.01-271.1, the circuit court judge abused her discretion because one of the attorneys neither signed the relevant brief nor made a motion under the terms of that statute and, thus, did not violate Code § 8.01-271.1. The other attorney also did not violate the statute because he could have formed, after reasonable inquiry, the belief that the relevant brief and the arguments set forth therein were warranted under existing law. The judgment imposing sanctions is reversed and the rule to show cause underlying that judgment is dismissed.
