- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff cited Kirkland v. American Title Ins. Co., "692 F. Supp. 153, 155 (N.D. Ill. 1988)"; court found the case was decided in the E.D.N.Y. and the opinion contains no discussion of certified mail, so the citation does not support the proposition.
- Fabricated: Case Law | Plaintiff cited United States v. Balan, 2013 WL 5539296 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 7, 2013); court found the Westlaw number yields Trahan v. Verret (La. App. Ct. 2013) and no matching N.D. Ill. decision exists — citation incorrect/likely fabricated.
- Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Plaintiff relied on 735 ILCS 5/2-203.1 to argue certified mail is effective service; court explained the statute only permits moving for alternative service authorization and does not itself authorize service by certified mail.
- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff cited People ex rel. Devine v. $30,700.00 U.S. Currency, 199 Ill. 2d 142 (2002); court noted Devine is an Illinois forfeiture case governed by different statutes about notice of forfeiture and is inapposite to service of process.
- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff cited In re Marriage of Schmitt, 391 Ill. App. 3d 1010 (2d Dist. 2009); court found Schmitt concerns dissolution of marriage and contains no discussion of service by certified mail, making the citation irrelevant.
- Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Plaintiff cited 735 ILCS 5/2-203.1 as authorizing service by certified mail; the court explained the statute only allows seeking authorization for alternative service and does not authorize certified-mail service without a court order.
- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff cited Kirkland v. American Title Ins. Co., '692 F. Supp. 153, 155 (N.D. Ill. 1988)' to support certified-mail service; the court found the opinion was from the Eastern District of New York and contains no discussion of certified mail, so the citation was misapplied/misrepresented.
- Fabricated: Case Law | Plaintiff cited 'United States v. Balan, 2013 WL 5539296 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 7, 2013)'; the court found the Westlaw number corresponds to a Louisiana appellate case (Trahan v. Verret) and no Northern District of Illinois decision by that title exists, indicating a fabricated or incorrect citation.
