Rule 23 - Frivolous or Vexatious ConductA. If the Seventh District Court of Appeals, sua sponte or on motion by a party, determines that an appeal, original action, or motion is frivolous or is prosecuted for delay, harassment, or any other improper purpose, it may impose on the person who signed the appeal, original action, or motion, a represented party, or both, appropriate sanctions. The sanctions may include an award to the opposing party of reasonable expenses, reasonable attorney fees, costs or double costs, or any other sanction the Seventh District Court of Appeals considers just. An appeal or original action shall be considered frivolous if it is not reasonably well-grounded in fact, or warranted by existing law, or by a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law.B. If a party habitually, persistently, and without reasonable cause engages in frivolous conduct under division (A) of this rule, the Seventh District Court of Appeals may, sua sponte or on motion by a party, find the party to be a vexatious litigator. If the Seventh District Court of Appeals determines that a party is a vexatious litigator under this rule, the Court may impose filing restrictions on the party. The restrictions may include prohibiting the party from continuing or instituting legal proceedings in the Seventh District Court of Appeals without first obtaining leave, prohibiting the filing of actions in the Seventh District Court of Appeals without the filing fee or security for costs required by Loc.R. 2, or any other restriction the Seventh District Court of Appeals considers just.
