Patsy's Brand, Inc. v. I.O.B. Realty, Inc.

After defendant Brija's first affidavit (claiming a sauce label design dated to 1993) was conclusively shown false and disavowed by I.O.B.'s original counsel, new counsel P&E (defendant's firm), aware of this history, still submitted a second affidavit from Brija repeating the same false claim in opposing Patsy's (plaintiff's) summary judgment motion; the district court found the second affidavit undeniably false and granted summary judgment for Patsy's, then issued an order to show cause why P&E should not be sanctioned under Rule 11.
