Description

O.J. Usoro represented Gwendolyn Sterling, Hazel Clayborne, Nikki Sterling, and Kindell Carrier in a personal injury lawsuit. He appeals from the trial court's imposition of sanctions against him pursuant to chapter 10 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 10.001–.006 (Vernon 2002). The trial court's sanctions order included a $3,340 penalty to be paid into the registry of the court for the use and benefit of Nikki Sterling and Kindell Carrier. In two issues, Usoro contends: (1) the motion for sanctions was defective; and (2) the trial court erred in ordering that the penalty be paid into the court's registry for the use and benefit of Usoro's clients. Because we find the trial court erred in ordering that the penalty be deposited for the use and benefit of individuals, we reverse and remand.
