Fabricated: Case Law | Defendant cited 'Douchette v. Doucette, 50 Conn.

Braica v. Frankowski (Anthony Braica v. Tom Frankowski)

False Quotes: Case Law | Plaintiff attributed a wholly fabricated quotation to this real case. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Case cited to support Eighth Amendment application to probationers though Solem concerned incarceration and is not relevant here. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Cited to support Eighth Amendment argument despite Graham involving incarceration rather than probation. || False Quotes: Case Law | Plaintiff misattributed a quotation to Moore and cited it in support of an Eighth Amendment argument though Moore addresses a Fourth Amendment apartment-search context. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Cited Rochin to support an Eighth Amendment 'shocks the conscience' argument though Rochin concerns due process (Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments) and is not on point. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff relied on Steffel but that case addresses First and Fourteenth Amendment issues, not the Eighth. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Misstated the holding; Jones concerns GPS attachment to a vehicle, not to a person as plaintiff asserted. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Cited Hamilton for a sovereign-immunity point but failed to note Hamilton dismissed negligence claims as barred by sovereign immunity. || Fabricated: Case Law | Entirely fabricated case; plaintiff supplied a citation string that corresponds to different cases with different names. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Cited Fuller to suggest probationers have Eighth Amendment protections relevant here, but the case concerns prison housing classification and is not on point. || Fabricated: Case Law | Entirely fabricated case; the plaintiff cited 'State v. Kelleher' with citations that lead to unrelated real cases. || Outdated Advice: Overturned Case Law | Cited Quon without disclosing that the Ninth Circuit decision was explicitly reversed and remanded by the Supreme Court.

Jesse Andre v. Warden, FCI Danbury

Fabricated: Case Law | Court found 'Harriot v. Jamison' (cited to support BOP-policy arguments) does not exist. || False Quotes: Case Law | Quoted language attributed to Levine v. Apker does not appear in that opinion and the case does not support the asserted proposition. || False Quotes: Case Law | Sierra quotation cited in the Motion was fabricated and does not exist in the Sierra opinion. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Woodley v. Warden was cited as supporting a 'detainer-only bar' proposition the court found the case does not establish. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Perttu v. Richards was mischaracterized in substance and procedural posture relative to the petitioner's arguments. || Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Federal procedural rules (e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) and Habeas Rule 7) were mischaracterized as authorizing a petitioner to unilaterally expand the record after judgment. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Rivers v. Guerrero and Mayle v. Felix were cited for relation-back/record-expansion propositions the Court found they do not support.

Moales v. Land Rover Cherry Hill

Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff cited Ernst & Ernst v. Hochfelder, 425 U.S. 185 (1976), and SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946), to claim a federal common-law fiduciary duty supports a common-law private right of action; the Court held neither case supports that proposition and each addresses statutory securities laws. || Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Plaintiff asserted a "federal common law of securities" as a basis for suit; the Court held no such federal common law exists and that securities law is governed by federal statutes. || Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Plaintiff argued the Declaratory Judgment Act itself confers federal-question jurisdiction; the Court rejected this, noting the Act alone cannot create jurisdiction. || Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Plaintiff claimed his accounting and fraudulent concealment claims are "federalized" via constructive trust principles and thus present a federally cognizable injury; the Court held these are state-law remedies/claims and do not create federal-question jurisdiction. || Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Plaintiff contended that references to federal regulations and constitutional issues in his complaint establish a substantial federal question; the Court found those references not critical to resolving his claims and insufficient for federal jurisdiction.
