CA Ohio (8d) · Jurisdiction not recorded · May 21, 2026

Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant cited a purported Ohio case captioned 'State v.

Stuart' as a Third District precedent; the court found that the citation actually pointed to State v. Hunter, 2021-Ohio-2020 (9th Dist.), which did not involve a guilty/no-contest plea, indicating a misrepresented citation. || Fabricated: Case Law | The court identified multiple other authorities cited by appellant that 'either do not stand for the propositions for which they are cited or appear to be fabricated or hallucinated' and declined to consider those citations.
