Why this matter is tracked
In a motion to enforce a settlement agreement, the pro se plaintiff, an attorney, cited 'Matter of Oppenheimer v. City of New York, 193 A.D.2d 457 [1st Dept 1993]' to argue the court lacked jurisdiction. The court confirmed this citation does not exist and that the actual case the plaintiff likely intended to cite, 'Oppenheimer v. City of New York, 193 A.D.3d 957 [2d Dept 2021]', does not support the plaintiff's legal proposition. Finding the plaintiff presented a non-existent case and argument, the court granted the defendants' motion to enforce the settlement and ordered a hearing to determine the appropriate sanctions against the plaintiff for the submission of fabricated legal authority.
