Specifically, we affirmed the district court’s dismissal of their complaint with prejudice. In this order, we address the appellees’ requests for attorney fees and costs, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 38 (1994).

Appellees Andrea San Phillipo, Rita Perko, Maxine Patton, and the Santa Clara Valley Humane Society request an award of attorney fees and costs, contending the Gabors’ appeal is frivolous. The appellees request these fees only in their appellate briefs and not in a separately filed motion.

The 1994 amendment to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 38 permits an award under this rule only “after a separately filed motion or notice from the court and reasonable opportunity to respond.” 1 The advisory committee notes to this amendment state that a request for sanctions in a party’s appellate brief does not provide sufficient notice to the opposing party. Id., Advisory Committee Notes. Accordingly, the appellees’ request for an award of attorney fees *460 under Rule 38 is DENIED without prejudice to the appellees requesting such an award of fees and costs in a separately filed motion.
