The court rejected the debtor's reliance on a non-existent case citation, 'In re Plaza de Diego Shopping Ctr., 911 F.3d 820 (1st Cir. 2018),' noting that the case does not exist and that a similarly named 1990 opinion was irrelevant to the proceedings.

Why this matter is tracked

In a bankruptcy proceeding, the pro se debtor filed motions for a stay pending appeal, citing various legal authorities to support his position. The Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado denied the motions, finding the debtor's arguments unpersuasive and his reliance on certain case law misplaced. Specifically, the court identified that the debtor cited 'In re Plaza de Diego Shopping Ctr., 911 F.3d 820 (1st Cir. 2018),' which the court determined does not exist. The court noted that a similarly named 1990 opinion at 911 F.2d 820 was inapplicable to the matter. The court ultimately rejected the debtor's reliance on the fabricated citation and concluded that the debtor failed to establish the necessary requirements for a stay.
