Fabricated

    Debtors cited 'Goguen v. Nason, 419 A.2d 1032 (Me. 1980)', which Westlaw/Lexis searches showed does not exist; the court identified this citation as nonexistent and noted the apparent correct citation in the same reporter is Ridgway v. Prudential Ins. Co., 419 A.2d 1030 (Me. 1980).

Misrepresented
