Nantongo v. Nationwide Mortgage Bankers Inc.
E.D. New York · Sep 30, 2026
What happened in this matter?
Misrepresented: Case Law | The filing cited “715 F. App’x 84” for Mpala v. Segarra, but the genuine Second Circuit decision is reported at 718 F. App’x 84. The cited reporter location corresponds to Johnson v. Turnbill, an unrelated excessive-force case. The court treated the error as an inadvertent typographical mistake and found the genuine Mpala decision readily locatable. Outcome: Sanctions motion denied. Plaintiff sought sanctions against Attorney Fred Charles for citing “Mpala v. Segarra, 715 F. App’x 84” instead of the genuine “Mpala v. Segarra, 718 F. App’x 84,” and “LinkCo, Inc. v. Naoyuki Akikusa, 357 F. App’x 180” instead of “367 F. App’x 180.” The incorrect reporter numbers corresponded to unrelated cases, Johnson v. Turnbill and United States v. Philley. The court accepted Charles’s explanation that these were inadvertent typographical errors, noted that the genuine cases were readily locatable, and found no evidence of bad faith, deception, or frivolous legal argument. It denied sanctions under the court’s inherent authority, 28 U.S.C. § 1927, and Rule 11.
