Supreme Court of Oklahoma November 2, 2004, 98,837 (Walker v. Ferguson)

HARGRAVE, J.

' 1 The only question presented is whether the trial court erred in imposing sanctions against plaintiffs' attorney, under its inherent power to do so recognized in City National Bank & Trust Co. v. Owens, 1977 OK 86, 565 P.2d 4, without making a finding of bad faith or oppressive conduct on the part of the sanctioned party.
