How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- observing that undisclosed ghostwriting inappropriately affords a pro se party the benefit of liberal construction
- noting that “filing[s ] in the wrong venue” require “the [c]ourt to expend resources in transferring cases to the correct venue”
- noting that the Second Circuit does not expressly disapprove of attorneys ghostwriting pleadings for pro se litigants and that there are “various authorities that permit that practice”
- discussing other circuits’ approaches and concluding that, in light of a 2007 ethics opinion issued by the American Bar Association, an attorney’s ghostwriting did not violate her ethical obligations
