The judge, P. Kevin Castel of Federal District Court, criticized the lawyers harshly and ordered them to send a copy of his opinion to each of the real-life judges whose names appeared in the fictitious filing. A correction was made on June 22, 2023 : Because of an editing error, an earlier version of the capsule summary with this article misstated the given name of a lawyer involved in the case. As the article correctly notes, he is Peter LoDuca, not Paul. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we learn of a mistake, we acknowledge it with a correction.
