          steps to deny the Rinaldis a 20-percent settlement.  Consistent             
          with our holding in Dixon III, the Rinaldis are bound by the                
          Court's decision in the test cases.  We shall deny so much of Mr.           
          Sticht's motion as requests sanctions other than an award of                
          attorney's fees and costs.                                                  
          III.   Conclusion                                                           
               Consistent with the preceding discussion, we shall grant               
          Messrs. Izen's and Jones' motions for attorney's fees and costs             
          and Mr. Sticht's motion for sanctions insofar as we award                   
          petitioners attorney's fees and costs as more fully described in            
          this opinion.  However, we shall deny Messrs. Izen's and Jones'             
          motions for sanctions, and so much of Mr. Sticht's motion for               
          sanctions as seeks relief beyond attorney's fees and costs.  To             
          reflect the foregoing,                                                      

          Appropriate orders and decisions will be                                    
                              entered in docket Nos. 9382-83, 4201-84,                
                              15907-84, 40159-84, 22783-85, 30010-85,                 
                              30979-85, and 29643-86.                                 
          Appropriate orders will be issued in                                        
                              docket Nos. 17646-83, 35608-86, 19464-92,               
                              621-94, 7205-94, and 9532-94.
