Why this matter warrants attention
The Court issued a formal warning to defense counsel and ordered them to retain local counsel residing in the district. The Court also admonished counsel that future filings containing frivolous arguments or misrepresentations would likely result in sanctions.
Fabricated: Case Law | Defense counsel cited a non-existent case to argue duplicative litigation; the Court found the case did not exist and struck/ordered correction. || Fabricated: Case Law | Defense counsel cited a second non-existent case in support of the same argument; the Court found it did not exist and required docket sheets to be filed, after which defendants identified different actual cases.
