                    Subpart C--Pleadings and Motions
 
Sec. 2200.32  Signing of pleadings and motions.

    Pleadings and motions shall be signed by the filing party or by the 
party's representative. The signature of a representative constitutes a 
representation by him that he is authorized to represent the party or 
parties on whose behalf the pleading is filed. The signature of a 
representative or party also constitutes a certificate by him that he 
has read the pleading, motion, or other paper, that to the best of his 
knowledge, information, and belief, formed after reasonable inquiry, it 
is well grounded in fact and is warranted by existing law or a good 
faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing 
law, and that it is not interposed for any improper purpose, such as to 
harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of 
litigation. If a pleading, motion or other paper is signed in violation 
of this rule, such signing party or its representative shall be subject 
to the sanctions set forth in Sec. 2200.41 or Sec. 2200.104.
