(1) it is completely without merit in law and cannot be supported

by a reasonable argument for an extension, modification or reversal

of existing law;

(2) it is undertaken primarily to delay or prolong the resolution of

the litigation, or to harass or maliciously injure another; or

(3) it asserts material factual statements that are false.
