As a taxpayer, I tire of the government having to pay out settlements and attorneys fees for government employees who are grossly incompetent, whether it be Sgt. Frederick Oliveri or some moron that violates public records laws. If Sgt. Frederick Oliveri made an obvious, avoidable mistake that cost a private sector employee $375,000.00, he would be out of a job, and likely an entire industry. My guess is that Sgt. Frederick Oliveri will remain a Sgt., a menace and continued threat to the tax dollars and civil liberties of the people of Las Vegas. His behavior was an embarrassment to Metro and our community, he looked and acted like a caricature of a roided out, short tempered, thin skinned jack booted fascist thug.
I’m sorry, were you referring to Sgt. Frederick Oliveri of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department? Some think he only goes by Sgt. Frederick Oliveri, but his friends call him Sgt. Frederick Oliveri.
Chances are any attempt to impose discipline would have been vigorously defended by his union – and arbitrators generally do not like termination. It’s not easy to terminate a police officer.
9:58 AM. All true. And Sgt. Oliveri couldn’t draft a competent motion if his life depended on it. I also couldn’t bake delicious donuts for a living, do electrical work or teach kids. Welcome to a market based economy.
Pokeman cards, really?
Less fungible than baseball cards. Your hopes are up when someone pins a nice value to your card(s). But when try to sell you will find offers will be at a much lower price. Not an investment.
No one under 40 cares about baseball cards. The pokemon card economy is the strongest it’s ever been. Unopened original base sets go for between $5k and $10k. Not to mention that when you get your card graded by PSA or one of the other big graders, it can significantly impact the value of your card. Pokemon cards are probably the most fungible trading card on the market, and will be for years to come.
How is a physical holographic Charizard card, graded and kept in a protective case, any less fungible than its baseball card counterpart? Nobody gives a rip about Percival “Shoeboy” Wimbledon, shortstop for the New Hampshire Slappynannies. Every kid born after 1999 would give his left kidney for the final evolution of Charmander.
You people with your nonsense tangible cards that can be lost or destroyed. I’ll have you know that I have my entire 401k in Trump NFTs. Always secure. Guaranteed to increase in value.
Good point. Who wouldn’t pay money for an AI-generated image of Donald Trump as a racecar driver? That kind of priceless art doesn’t just grow on trees.
I recently decided to up my investment in Pokemon cards AND Beanie Babies, because if there is one thing I have learned in my decades on Earth, it’s that the resale market for popular collectibles never ebbs.

I wonder if NRS 598 applies to hotel rooms, and if the AG is looking into the OYO situation. The statute includes civil and criminal penalties but it seems like enforcement is rare.
I don’t see any obvious reason chapter 598 of NRS would not apply to OYO. The deceptive trade practice prohibitions apply to “a person” who engaged in proscribed conduct “in the course of his or her business or occupation.” “Person” is given a broad construction under NRS 0.039. So I’d say yes, the deceptive trade practices laws apply.

9th Circuit says that Chattah was illegally appointed. Quotes Federalist 76: “The Framers feared that the President might seek to appoint “candidates who had no other merit, than that . . . of being in some way or other personally allied to [the President], or of possessing the necessary insignificance and pliancy to render them the obsequious instruments of his pleasure,” and they saw the Senate’s advice-and-consent function as necessary to “prevent[] the appointment of unfit characters” to federal office.” https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2026/08/17/25-6475.pdf
If you go read the USAO NV press releases, Chattah, who holds the formal title to the effect of “Assistant to the Regional Manager,” or something like that is presented as the person in charge. So they’ve got an Alan Glick character in the official role as Acting USAO for Nevada, while Chattah is apparently Lefty Rosenthal, less the sartorial instinct.
Love the analogy. For those of us who lived that dream, I took the depo of Lefty at his home on the las Vegas Country Club right after the bombing outside Tony Roma’s. Eric Zubel was his lawyer. I had to be dropped off in front of his house and then I was required to walk through the garage, over brand new brown carpeting covering the numerous alarms set in place. He wore tennis whites and had very long, white, skinny legs. Good times.
This is similar to what restaurants do on Uber Eats and similar…
You don’t want to order Denny’s, so you pick the Melt Down… Only to determine it is the same thing with a menu limited to just burgers (when you can order the full menu if you select from Denny’s).
I watched the video. Judge Johnson made it sound like she had no choice. While there is no legitimate excuse for filing false case citations, we’re also all learning how to effectively use A.I. in this new era of law and technology. We’re all under tremendous time and other pressures. I understand why this happens. I hope that this attorney, who is also a human being, will be afforded grace. There but for the grace of God go I.
If you watched the entire video then you witnessed the fact that the lawyer used a multiple false citations. Even though it’s clear that the lawyer used AI and did not check the citations, she insists that her practice is to check every citation. The lack of candor is disappointing.
If there but for the grace of god go you, then I fear for your clients and those around you.
How do you define AI in these situations? Using a phrase in a case search in Westlaw? Using google to search for cases that support your view? Using any query that helps you find something to support your clients’ claims? I agree that you need to then go and read the cited case to make sure it fully supports your case but how many times does some cite a supreme court case and then claim that case supports their claim where there is nothing in there that actually does?
For what it is worth, I watched the video and I could not understand under any scenario where the volunteer could be held responsible for breach of contract. The case seems very very weak. I do understand that it is the last legs of a much longer case.
Did anyone go and look to the cases that were cited and see if they are related to the argument that the lawyer had to support?
If they are all real cases (not AI invented cases), it is likely you can scour the case including the motions that supported the order and argue that it is a proper use of that case.
I have seen judges let lawyers slide when caught red handed asserting that a case supports and expressly states one thing when the case clearly says the opposite when the lawyer just argues that is not the way he interprets that order. AI is of interest in the news right now but there are far bigger issues that need focus.
There is absolutely zero excuse to still be citing false case citations in the year of our lord, 2026. LLM have been around for almost 10 years now. How many CLEs do we see about responsible AI use? How many articles have there already been about attorneys getting in hot water for the same thing?
Zero sympathy for this issue. If you’re caught with your pants down using AI in such a reckless and lazy manner, you deserve to have the book thrown at you. And the scary thing is, it’s mostly older attorneys getting in trouble for this; attorneys that should know better.
She will be amending her complaint against the estate of Dennis Prince because this is all clearly his fault for having the audacity to be murdered in front of her!

Says the doughy overeducated loser who would not last 10 seconds doing the work our police have to do.

Oh man you got him so good, completely destroyed his argument.
Something me and Sgt. Oliveri have in common is that we’d both be terrible cops. Unlike Sgt. Oliveri, I at least have the decency to not be a cop.
Hold on to your Jigglypuffs: “Experts urge caution after six-figure Pokemon card scams in Vegas” – https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/experts-urge-caution-after-six-figure-pokemon-card-scams-in-vegas-3864892/ –

Love me some Sigal and Lisa Rasmussen
I have nothing insightful to say, but the OYO story is very funny.
This is similar to what restaurants do on Uber Eats and similar…

Both are annoying.
That property, so close to the baseball stadium, is an excellent opportunity for a total renovation and rebranding.
Another attorney is being referred to the bar by Susan Johnson for using AI generated phantom cases. A-22-859490-C video on Our Nevada Judges
Which attorney?
Lisa Rasmussen
Looks like Lisa Rasmussen. This was back in July.
I watched the video. Judge Johnson made it sound like she had no choice.

She didn’t even read the Reply going in and wasn’t prepared for this? That’s crazy.
She will be amending her complaint against the estate of Dennis Prince because this is all clearly his fault for having the audacity to be murdered in front of her!
Johnson should retire. She has attorneys show up at 8:30 a.m. but we are lucky if she is in court by 9:00 a.m. No apology, ever.
But God forbid you are juggling departments and not there when she calls the case.
Did Bluth go all civil? So many cases assigned to her over the last 6 months. Years prior, I maybe had 1 or 2 a year.
you don’t like her?
Is there a Kalshi market that I can bet on when Kalshi becomes compliant with the court order?
