Why this matter warrants attention

While the court noted the error and the likely intended (but irrelevant) citation, it did not impose a formal sanction for the citation error, instead focusing its ruling on the merits of the defendant's motion to dismiss.
The record concerns whether authorities presented to the decision-maker existed and could be verified. The tracked outcome is the response recorded in the linked source; the linked source controls the precise reasoning.
