Why this matter is tracked

In a bankruptcy proceeding, the court identified that counsel for the debtor submitted a brief containing fabricated case law citations. The court noted that quoted language purportedly from two cited cases appeared nowhere in the actual opinions, and the cases did not support the propositions for which they were cited. Consequently, the court ordered the debtor's counsel to show cause why they should not be sanctioned under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9011 for providing false citations to the court. This incident occurred within the context of a motion for relief from stay, where the court ultimately granted in rem relief due to a demonstrated scheme by the debtor and related parties to delay, hinder, or defraud creditors through serial bankruptcy filings.
