Quandel Construction Group, Inc. v. Hunt Construction Group, Inc.
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio · Ohio · Mar 31, 2026
Fabricated: Case Law | Hunt cited a nonexistent Aerpio case and incorrect citation (wrong case name/number and Westlaw cite); court identified the correct case as Aerpio Pharms., Inc. v. Quaggin, 2019 WL 4717477 (S.D. Ohio Sept. 26, 2019). || False Quotes: Case Law | Hunt included three direct quotations attributed to the (mis)cited Aerpio decision that do not appear in the actual Aerpio v. Quaggin opinion; court found only the phrase "inextricably intertwined" actually appears in the real case. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Hunt cited the wrong Vaughn case name and provided an unrelated case number; court found the error was wrong in form though the quoted substance was unchanged.

Lahti v. Consensys Software Inc.
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio · Ohio · Aug 19, 2025
"The case at bar epitomizes the concern. Inordinate judicial resources were expended on reviewing cases cited by Plaintiff that did not exist. No doubt Plaintiff’s opponent in this litigation was forced to expend similar energies. Here, too, as noted, certain cases Plaintiff cited in support of her arguments stood for the opposite result from that which Plaintiff stated in her briefs. This kind of activity not only wastes precious and limited judicial resources, but it also drives up the cost of litigation unnecessarily for those who must defend against or seek to prosecute claims on behalf of paying clients, given the underpinnings of the American Rule that attaches to most civil litigation in this country."
Judges: Jeffery Paul Hopkins
