  1. Misrepresented: Case Law | The brief cited Cunningham for a proposition concerning relief or liability that the case did not support; the Court noted that Cunningham addressed RESPA's statute of limitations and equitable tolling and did not support the asserted proposition, even in dicta.
  2. Misrepresented: Case Law | The briefs included six case citations lacking issuing courts, dates, and pinpoint citations, and the Court found that the authorities were not adequately checked to determine whether they supported the propositions presented.
  3. Fabricated: Exhibits & Submissions | Thirteen purported source citations did not identify or link to legal authorities; each hyperlink directed the reader only to the Lexis homepage, leaving the cited propositions unsupported.
