(b) If a motion to initiate proceedings to impose remedial sanctions is filed in a related proceeding under ORS 33.055 (3) before entry of judgment in the related proceeding, and the court denies the motion or declines to impose sanctions, the court shall enter judgment on that denial or determination only as part of the judgment in the related proceeding.
