ON MOTIONS TO AMEND
SAFFELS, District Judge.
This matter is before the court on defendant Heritage Parks, Inc.'s Motion to Amend the court's judgement entered on February 26, 1986, 629 F.Supp. 1002, and plaintiff's local counsel's Motion to Modify the judgment entered on February 26, 1986.
Upon a review of the record, the court notes that judgment was entered in favor of Memorial Park Cemetery and Sunset Memorial Gardens of Kansas City, Kansas, rather than in the corporate name of Heritage Parks, Inc., d/b/a Memorial Park Cemetery and Sunset Memorial Gardens of Kansas City, Kansas. The court finds that the judgment should be amended to read that defendant Heritage Parks, Inc., d/b/a Memorial Park Cemetery and Sunset Memorial Gardens of Kansas City, Kansas' Motion to Dismiss plaintiff's amended complaint is hereby granted with prejudice.
Plaintiff's local counsel has filed a Motion to Modify the court's judgment entered on February 26, 1986, to eliminate the imposition of sanctions under Rule 11 against Mr. McConwell. In light of the fact that Mr. McConwell was not retained as local counsel until after the filing of the amended complaint, the motion of Mr. McConwell should be granted.
*973 IT IS BY THE COURT THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant Heritage Parks, Inc.'s Motion to Amend the court's judgment entered on February 26, 1986, is hereby granted. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. McConwell's Motion to Modify the judgment entered on February 26, 1986, is hereby granted. The Clerk is directed to amend the judgment to reflect that defendant Heritage Parks, Inc., d/b/a Memorial Park Cemetery and Sunset Memorial Gardens of Kansas City, Kansas' Motion to Dismiss plaintiff's amended complaint with prejudice is hereby granted. The clerk is further directed to modify the judgment entered on February 26, 1986, to eliminate the imposition of sanctions against Mr. Edward McConwell.

ON ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS
This matter is before the court to award attorneys' fees and costs to defendants pursuant to the court's Memorandum and Order dated February 25, 1986.
In awarding such fees and costs, the court carefully scrutinized the billing hours and affidavits submitted by the defendants' attorneys and apportioned the fees and costs that should be properly awarded pursuant to the court's prior Memorandum and Order. In awarding such fees and costs, the court made certain adjustments to the amounts requested in arriving at the total amounts awarded to each of the defendants. The court found that some fees and costs as requested by the defendants should not be apportioned as sanctions as the hours and costs requested did not relate to Count III of plaintiffs' amended complaint, motions for sanctions, or motions to dismiss for improper venue and lack of personal jurisdiction. Specifically, the court rejects M. Duncan Grant's (acting on behalf of Jas. H. Matthews & Co.) argument that this court should award fees and costs relating to motions filed in an identical action in Philadelphia prior to the filing of the present action. The court finds that to the contrary, defense of this earlier action should have substantially reduced fees and costs involved in defense of the present suit. Thus, after a careful review of the record, the court finds that the following fees and costs should be awarded.
IT IS BY THE COURT THEREFORE ORDERED that the sum of One Thousand One Hundred Forty-Eight Dollars and Twenty-Two Cents ($1,148.22) should be awarded to the American Cemetery Association.
