“If the fault lies with the attorney, that is where the impact
of sanction should be lodged. If the fault lies with the clients, that
is where the impact of the sanction should be lodged.” Matter of
Sanction of Baker, 744 F.2d 1438, 1442 (10th Cir. 1984), cert. denied,
471 U.S. 1014 (1985). Sometimes the faults of attorneys, and their
consequences, are visited upon clients. In re Hill, 775 F.2d 1385, 1387
