Victoria Yeager, who proceeds without separate representation in this action,
moves for leave to file electronically under Local Rule 183(c). ECF No. 67. Her motion is
GRANTED subject to the following conditions:
(1) Pro se litigants must follow the same procedural rules as litigants represented
by attorneys. King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987), overruled on other grounds by
Lacey v. Maricopa Cty., 693 F.3d 896 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc); E.D. Cal. L.R. 183(a).

(2) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 imposes an obligation on pro se litigants

2

and attorneys alike to certify (a) that all motions and other papers submitted to the court are “not

3

being presented for any improper purpose”; (b) that “legal contentions are warranted by existing

4

law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for

5

establishing new law”; and (c) that factual contentions and denials “have evidentiary support” or

6

“are warranted on the evidence.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a)–(b).

7

This court has inherent authority and authority under federal law to impose

8

sanctions for violations of its orders and for conduct in bad faith. See, e.g., Fink v. Gomez, 239

9

F.3d 989, 994 (9th Cir. 2001); Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c); E.D. Cal. L.R. 110, 183, 184(a); Order April

appropriate sanctions may be imposed.
