Where attorney-appellant who was the owner and principal of the debtor in a Chapter 7 case brought allegations that the trustee’s attorney had engaged in collusion and that the conduct amounted to a fraud on the court, the allegations were extremely serious but were not objectively reasonable and were not supported by the evidence, so sanctions against the attorney-appellant are affirmed because his allegations violated Rule 9011. Judgment is affirmed.
