U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit · National federal courts · Dec 3, 2025

United States, 201 F.3d 109'; court found this citation fabricated (the reporter page corresponds to Kalwasinski v.

Michigan, 547 U.S. 586 (2006), claiming it supported a particular principle; court found the representation inaccurate and that the case did not state the proposition she attributed to it. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Moore cited Gilday v. Mecosta County, 124 F.3d 760 (6th Cir. 1997) as supporting 'equitable access principles'; court found Gilday does not contain or use that language or principle and deemed the citation mischaracterized.
