“Because the substance of this appeal is as frivolous as its form, we will affirm the District Court’s summary judgment and grant Appellee CBE Group’s motion for damages under Rule 38 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.” So ruled a unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in a decision issued Friday that has received some attention on Twitter (see, e.g., here, here, and here).

According to the opinion, “Counsel for [appellants] Conboy and Gilsenan simply took the summary judgment section of his District Court brief and copied and pasted it into his appellate brief, with minor changes such as swapping ‘Defendant’ for ‘Appellee.’ Compare Appendix A hereto, with Appendix B. This is not proper appellate advocacy.”
