ADVISOR READOUT

Why this matter warrants attention

Fabricated: Case Law | Counsel cited a non-existent case 'Bowers v. Transp. Sec. Admin., 2015 WL 3442014, at *2 (E.D. Va. May 27, 2015)'; after the Court's order counsel could not locate the opinion and acknowledged it was fabricated, likely originating from an internet/AI-generated search result. Outcome: Apologies.
