James Jordan v. USA, Clinicas Del Camino Real, Inc., et al.
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California · California · Apr 6, 2026
False Quotes: Case Law | Plaintiff attributes a direct quotation to City of Chicago v. International College of Surgeons (522 U.S. 156) that does not appear in that opinion; plaintiff also mis-cited the case name order. || Fabricated: Case Law | Plaintiff cites Nevada Power Co. v. Monsanto Co., 151 F.3d 1201, 1205 (9th Cir. 1998); the reporter/pincite (151 F.3d 1201) actually corresponds to McKeon v. United States, and Nevada Power is at a different reporter citation—court calls this an "apparently fake citation."
