Why this matter warrants attention
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.

This record documents a Pro Se Litigant filing issue in D. Colorado (Bankruptcy), with the listed outcome: Court rejected reliance on the citation.
