What the record shows

In a bankruptcy memorandum granting in rem relief from the automatic stay, the court found that the Debtor's brief contained 'quoted' language that appears nowhere in the cited opinion and a second cited case that the court found had nothing to do with the proposition for which it was cited, with the quoted language likewise not found. The court stated that the Debtor's counsel would separately be ordered to show cause why he should not be sanctioned under Rule 9011 for providing what the court described as apparently false citations.

This entry reflects the court document as filed. The citations at issue could not be located in the reporters named at the time of the order. The reading here is descriptive of the public record and is not legal advice.

The test this filing did not run

Every matter in this record shares one mechanism: a citation that did not resolve to an opinion in the reporter named, in a brief that was filed before any verification step ran. Veritas runs that step. The Filing Risk Scanner extracts each citation, resolves it against reporter and public-record sources, and returns a verdict on each one — located, partial, or not located in reporter — before the brief is signed.
