Why this matter warrants attention
The Court denied the plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order and issued a warning regarding the duty of candor under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. The Court noted that the plaintiff misrepresented the holding of a cited case and cautioned that future reliance on non-existent or misrepresented authority could result in sanctions.
Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff relied on United States v. Mississippi, 82 F.4th 387 (5th Cir. 2023) as supporting the proposition that disability-based sanctions/adverse inferences are irreversible; the Court stated that the cited case does not discuss or support that inference.
