Why this matter warrants attention
The court identified that the debtor repeatedly cited a non-existent case, 'In re Smith, 582 B.R. 1 (Bankr. D.D.C. 2018)', which the court confirmed was a fabrication. The court clarified that the actual case at that citation, 'In re Lockhart', did not support the debtor's legal arguments.
Fabricated: Case Law | Debtor repeatedly cited 'In re Smith, 582 B.R. 1 (Bankr. D.D.C. 2018)'; court found this citation does not exist and that the reporter/volume corresponds to In re Lockhart, 582 B.R. 1 (Bankr. E.D. Mich. 2018), which does not support Debtor's proposition.
