W.D. Wash. CrR 62.5
Signing Filings; Sanctions
(a) Signature
A document signed electronically (by either a digital signature or by an attorney using the “s/
Name” convention) has the same force and effect as if the person had affixed a signature to a
paper copy of the document, unless an original document is otherwise required. If an original
document is required to be filed with the court, any required signature thereto must also be
original. Electronic signatures must be in conformance with this district’s Electronic Filing
Procedures for Criminal Cases.
(b) Sanctions for Non-Participation, Non-Compliance, or Multiplying or Obstructing
Proceedings
An attorney or party who without just cause fails to comply with any of the Federal Rules of
Criminal Procedure, these rules, or an order of the court, or who fails to prepare for presentation
to the court, or who otherwise so multiplies or obstructs the proceedings in a case may, in
addition to or in lieu of the sanctions and penalties provided elsewhere in these rules, be required
by the court to satisfy personally such excess costs and may be subject to such other sanctions as
the court may deem appropriate.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
