Doppelganger cases with no available documents (was: "ECF docket number parsed wrong in Swartz") #36
Comments

Also, this has clearly happened before. See http://ia700507.us.archive.org/26/items/gov.uscourts.mad.137970/ |
Ah, yes this is a known issue. We had an issue for it on the old, private repo for the server code. I am copying the text of my original report below: "Doppelganger cases with no available documents" http://archive.recapthelaw.org/mad/137970/ The second case is some kind of weird mirror image of the first. PACER seems to do this often, but I don't know why. When you go to download the *70 documents on PACER, the doc1 links are the same as those for the *71 case, so effectively no documents for *70 case ever appear. This might require a fix to the recap server code and/or the recap archive code. It's not just the recap archive, it looks the same on IA: I don't know how that one PDF file made its way into that bucket. |
Another doppelganger, Boston marathon bombers. So the PACER id is 152629. (that's 628, not 629). And there is a docket.xml but not a docket.html. |
When resolving this issue, please make sure to double check issue #146 to see if it's indeed a dup. |
freelawproject/courtlistener#2185 has a much better description of this issue. Closing. |

Well, that's a trip. I downloaded docket item #128 today in United States v. Aaron Swartz (ecf.mad's 11-CR-10260), and it came up as
gov.uscourts.mad.137970.128.0.pdf
That is BIZARRE!
It is docket ECF docket # 137971 , not 137970!!
Needless to say, it does not show up at
http://ia600504.us.archive.org/29/items/gov.uscourts.mad.137971/
I'm not sure how this could have happened, but something's horribly wrong...
