§ 1.52   Subscription and verification.

   The  original  of all petitions, motions, pleadings, briefs, and other
   documents filed by any party represented by counsel shall be signed by at
   least one attorney of record in his individual name, whose address shall be
   stated. A party who is not represented by an attorney shall sign and verify
   the  document and state his address. Either the original document, the
   electronic reproduction of such original document containing the facsimile
   signature of the attorney or represented party, or, in the case of matters
   in the Wireless Radio Services, an electronic filing via ULS is acceptable
   for filing. If a facsimile or electronic reproduction of such original
   document  is  filed, the signatory shall retain the original until the
   Commission's decision is final and no longer subject to judicial review. If
   pursuant to § 1.429(h) a document is filed electronically, a signature will
   be considered any symbol executed or adopted by the party with the intent
   that   such  symbol  be  a  signature,  including  symbols  formed  by
   computer-generated electronic impulses. Except when otherwise specifically
   provided by rule or statute, documents signed by the attorney for a party
   need  not  be  verified  or accompanied by affidavit. The signature or
   electronic reproduction thereof by an attorney constitutes a certificate by
   him  that he has read the document; that to the best of his knowledge,
   information, and belief there is good ground to support it; and that it is
   not interposed for delay. If the original of a document is not signed or is
   signed with intent to defeat the purpose of this section, or an electronic
   reproduction does not contain a facsimile signature, it may be stricken as
   sham and false, and the matter may proceed as though the document had not
   been filed. An attorney may be subjected to appropriate disciplinary action,
   pursuant to § 1.24, for a willful violation of this section or if scandalous
   or indecent matter is inserted.
