It’s never a good thing when a judge tells an attorney to prove that cases cited in a motion are real or else face potential sanctions, but that is the situation one of Michael Cohen’s lawyers is in right now.

Michael Cohen, the 57-year-old former fixer for Donald Trump who served time behind bars for campaign finance violations, bank fraud and tax evasion, has been trying to convince U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman that the supervised release aspect of his sentence should end early.

Cohen attorney David M. Schwartz submitted a letter motion on Nov. 29 arguing that there were three examples in 2022 of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirming the “early termination of supervised release.”
