What the court wrote
The passages in which the court addresses the fabricated authority, verbatim, by document. A bracketed ellipsis marks where a passage was cut for length; nothing else is changed.
Docket text. ENDORSED ORDER granting 51 Motion to Dismiss, due to hallucinated citations. The Plaintiff may file a second amended complaint if he wishes, within 21 days. The second amended complaint may not exceed 40 pages in length, may not attach superfluous exhibits, and must allege legal causes of action, and may not cite legal case citations. Any further citation of false sources will result in dismissal with prejudice. Plaintiff may wish to research Fed. R. Civ. P. 8 and review the case (available on Google) Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662 (2009). Plaintiff is advised that crafting a complaint in federal court is difficult even for trained lawyers who do it all the time. Several offices are available which might offer free assistance, such as Bay Area Volunteer Legal Services, (800) 625-2257. If filing a second amended complaint, Plaintiff should review the U.S. Eleventh Circuit's teachings on "shotgun pleadings." The show cause order is discharged. Signed by Judge William F. Jung on 1/30/2026. (Jung, William) (Entered: 01/30/2026)
