The opinion
GOODWIN, Chief Judge,
concurring:
Because the collateral estoppel basis for the sanctions expressed by the district court does not fully support the sanctions imposed, I concur in Judge Schroeder’s opinion. My concurrence should not, however, be construed as an invitation to counsel to continue to plead the kind of frivolous claims that were interspersed with one or two colorably nonfrivolous claims, as revealed in this record.
