From a Response to an Order to Show Cause in Pennantia, LLC v. Rose Cay Maritime, LLC (S.D.N.Y.), filed by lawyers from a 10-lawyer firm:
[I.] Introduction and Acknowledgment of Responsibility
Undersigned counsel acknowledge the Court's concerns and accept full responsibility for the errors identified in Defendant's opposition Memorandum of Law (ECF No. 32)("Memorandum"). Specifically, the Memorandum included quotations that had not been confirmed against the cited judicial opinions prior to filing. Counsel recognize that this was a serious lapse in professional obligations under Park v. Kim, 91 F.4th 610 (2d Cir. 2024), deeply regret the error, and extend their sincere apologies to the Court, the parties, and opposing counsel.
[II.] Explanation of Circumstances
Lead counsel reviewed the cited cases in LexisNexis and confirmed that they were actual decisions relevant to the legal issues in this matter. However, the quotations included in the initial draft of the Memorandum were not independently verified against the official opinions word-for-word.
