The above link wasn't the only hallucination(!)
The lawyer kept digging the hole deeper and deeper, and (as a non-expert) I agree that it seems that the lawyer is at serious risk of being disbarred.
Interesting documents are from #24 onwards:
- #24 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368.24.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): "unable to locate most of the case law cited in Plaintiff’s Affirmation in Opposition, and the few cases which the undersigned has been able to locate do not stand for the propositions for which they are cited"
- #25 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368.25.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...) & #27 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368.27.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): order to affix copies of cited cases
- #29: attached the cases - later revealed to be a mixture of made up (bogus) for some, vs irrelevant for others
- #30 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368.30.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): "the authenticity of many of these cases is questionable" - polite legal speak for bogus. And "these cases do exist but submits that they address issues entirely unrelated to the principles for which Plaintiff cited them" - irrelevant. And a cutting aside that "(The Ehrlich and In re Air Crash Disaster cases are the only ones submitted in a conventional format.)" - drawing attention to the smoking gun for the bogus cases
- #31 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368.31.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): an unhappy federal judge: "The Court is presented with an unprecedented circumstance. A submission filed by plaintiff’s counsel in opposition to a motion to dismiss is replete with citations to non-existent cases. ... Six of the submitted cases appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations" ---- this PDF is worth reading in full, it is only 3 pages & excoriating
- #32 affidavits, including the ChatGPT screenshot
- #33 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368/gov.uscourts.nysd.575368.33.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): an even more unhappy judge: invitation for the lawyer & law firm to explain why they "ought not be sanctioned"
- asmithmd1 3y agoA dry quote from the defendant in #24 above: "Putting aside that there is no page 598 in Kaiser Steel..."
