Mismatching docket numbers across `ca9` opinions and oral arguments and PACER #1174

Open grossir opened 2 months ago

grossir commented 2 months ago

Seems like we are missing something about ca9 docket numbers, since the same number sometimes leads to different cases in these pairs:

Example docket:

The oral argument with case name "In re: NEWMAN" has docket number 21-1228 image

The opinion with case name "Edgar G. C. v. Garland" has the same docket number

Docket. Unpublished ca9 opinion for case "USA V. CARDOZA" has the same docket number "23-1071" as oral argument for case "In re: Shayman" image

Docket with docket number 23-1111, court ca9

RECAP Example

From one of the documents: image

Opinion with the same docket number image

More cases: New case_name 'Hamid v. Garland' looks too different from old 'Terry Wike v. State Bar of Nevada'. Court ca9. Docket 69124062

New case_name 'United States v. Thomas' looks too different from old 'Marvin Miller and Covina Publishing, Inc., a Corporation Doing Business as Collector's Publication v. United States'. Court ca9. Docket 2363426
