A Rule 11 motion is a request for sanctions under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which requires that filings in federal court must be well-grounded in fact, warranted by existing law or a good faith argument for changing the law, and not filed for any improper purpose such as to harass or cause unnecessary delay.When a Rule 11 motion is denied, it means that the court has determined the following:
- The challenged filing was not frivolous: The court found that the filing in question had a factual and legal basis.
- The filing had a legitimate purpose: The court concluded that the filing was not intended to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or increase the cost of litigation needlessly.
- Good faith argument: The court recognized that the filing may have been made in good faith to advance a legitimate legal argument, even if it involved a novel interpretation or extension of the law.
In summary, the denial of a Rule 11 motion indicates that the court does not believe sanctions are warranted against the party who made the challenged filing.
