MEMORANDUM **

Virgil Langley appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of his former attorney, Raymond Brown, Carioca Company (Carioca), and Carioca’s attorney, Albert Van Wagner, in Langley’s diversity action. Langley also appeals the district court’s award of attorneys’ fees to Carioca and Van Wagner. We have juris*598diction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and, after de novo review, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Carioca, Van Wagner and Brown. We reverse the attorneys’ fees awards.

The district court did not err in granting summary judgment against Langley on his claims for abuse of process brought against Carioca and Van Wagner. Langley failed to submit evidence of specific facts showing that there was a genuine issue whether Van Wagner or Carioca had “an ulterior purpose and [committed] a willful act in the use of judicial process not proper in the regular conduct of the proceeding.” Giles v. Hill Lewis Marce, 195 Ariz. 358, 988 P.2d 143, 146 (1999).

The district court did not err in granting summary judgment against Langley on his claim for attorney malpractice. Langley failed to submit evidence of specific facts showing that there was a genuine issue whether Brown had committed malpractice during his representation of Langley. See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 250, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986).

The district court erred in awarding attorneys’ fees under Ariz.Rev.Stat. Ann. § 12-349. Because the attorneys’ fee awards were based on Langley’s misconduct in the district court proceeding the district court erred “when it relied upon an Arizona statute ... if sanctions were to be imposed at all, it had to be under the policies and procedures delineated under federal law.” In re: Larry’s Apartment, LLC, 249 F.3d 832, 838 (9th Cir. 2001). Therefore, we reverse the fee awards and remand for consideration whether fees should be awarded under federal law.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART.
