A motion for Rule 11 sanctions is a legal procedure in the United States federal courts where a party requests the court to impose penalties on another party or their attorney for filing frivolous, legally baseless, or improper pleadings and motions. Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mandates that attorneys or unrepresented parties ensure that their submissions are well-grounded in fact, legally tenable, and not filed for any improper purpose such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation.Key Elements of Rule 11 Sanctions:
The primary purpose of Rule 11 is to deter baseless filings in district court and to streamline the administration and procedure of federal courts by reducing frivolous claims. It ensures the integrity of the legal process by holding parties and their attorneys accountable for their submissions.

- Certification Requirement: When an attorney or party submits a document to the court, they are certifying that to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, the document is not being presented for any improper purpose, the claims or defenses are warranted by existing law or a nonfrivolous argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law, and the factual contentions have evidentiary support (Justice) (Justice).
- Grounds for Sanctions: Rule 11 sanctions can be imposed if a filing:
- Is submitted for an improper purpose.
- Contains claims, defenses, or other legal contentions that are not warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for changing the law.
- Contains factual contentions that lack evidentiary support or are unlikely to have evidentiary support after further investigation.
- Contains denials of factual contentions that are not warranted on the evidence
- Procedure: A motion for Rule 11 sanctions must be made separately from other motions and must describe the specific conduct alleged to violate Rule 11. The motion must be served on the offending party, who then has 21 days to withdraw or correct the offending submission. If the party does not take appropriate corrective action, the motion can then be filed with the court.
- Sanctions: Sanctions under Rule 11 can include non-monetary directives, penalties payable to the court, and payment of the movant's attorney's fees and other expenses directly resulting from the violation. The aim of the sanctions is to deter future misconduct rather than to compensate the wronged party.
