Sample motion for sanctions under California Code of Civil Procedure § 128.7.

Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice. I suggest you go to the law library and review the practice guides under CCP 128.7 before attempting to bring such a motion, as an improper motion itself is subject to sanctions. I ran an Internet search and found a sample motion (see link below) but again, your best choice would be to go to a law library and conducting your own research. Be sure to consult your own attorney to protect your legal rights.

I would not recommend anyone try to bring this motion without specific legal advice. It is extremely rare for these motions to be granted, even when drafted by attorneys. Also, be aware of the 21 day safe harbor period...you need to draft the motion and serve it on the opposing party (or counsel) 21 days BEFORE you file it with the court.

There wouldn't be a sample because the basis for any such sanctions motion depends upon a specific factual situation. Moreover, sanctions under 128.7 are rarely granted because of the 21 day safe harbor period.
