Sayali Kulkarni & Abhijit Kulkarni v. Merit Systems Protection Board
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit · National federal courts · Dec 15, 2025
Fabricated: Case Law | Reply brief cites “Special Counsel v. Hatch, 654 F.3d 1376, 1382 (Fed. Cir. 2011),” a citation the court identifies as incorrect (reporter citation actually corresponds to CyberSource Corp. v. Retail Decisions, Inc., 654 F.3d 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2011)). Court treated this as a fictitious/misleading citation in the briefing and relied on it as basis to strike the briefs. || False Quotes: Case Law | Reply brief quotes language attributed to Shinseki v. Sanders, 556 U.S. 396, 409 (2009) that the court states does not appear in that opinion (a false quotation attributed to an existing case).
Judges: Kara Farnandez Stoll, Timothy B. Dyk
