Why this matter warrants attention
The court identified that the pro se plaintiff cited a non-existent case, 'AROK Construction Co. v. Shipley,' and could not locate the associated quoted language. The court did not impose sanctions for this error, as it determined the plaintiff's underlying legal argument failed on the merits regardless of the citation's validity.
Fabricated: Case Law | Pro se plaintiff cited AROK Construction Co. v. Shipley, 235 Ariz. 163, 166, 329 P.3d 1051, 1054 (Ct. App. 2014); the Court found that the case does not exist at that citation and could not locate the quoted language, and thus did not rely on it.
