"Code of Civil Procedure section 128.7 provides that the riling of a pleading certifies that, to the attorney or unrepresented party's `knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances,' the pleading is not being presented `primarily for an improper purpose,' the claims, defenses and other legal contentions therein are warranted,' and the allegations and other factual contentions `have evidentiary support.' ( Id., subd.'(b).) If these standards are violated, the court can impose an appropriate sanction sufficient to deter future misconduct, including a monetary sanction. ( Id., subds. (c), (d).)"
