ORDER (memorandum filed previously as separate docket entry): IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: The Motion for Attorney's Fees 635 , submitted by CynthiaL. Pollick, Esquire, is DENIED. Ms. Pollick's Motion for Attorney's Fees has violated Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. Accordingly, Ms. Pollick will be sanctioned in the amount of $25,000.00 for that violation. Ms. Pollick's Motion for Attorney's Fees has independently violated 28 U.S.C. § 1927. Accordingly, Ms . Pollick will be sanctioned in the amount of $25,000.00 for that violation.
