A federal magistrate judge has ordered Texas attorney Omar Rosales to pay more than $175,000 in penalties for faking an email and using it as evidence in court. Judge Mark Lane said that Rosales filed documents accusing a civil rights attorney that he is up against in a disabilities lawsuit of being racist and anti-Semitic.

Lane didn't buy it. "From his baseless and offensive attacks on opposing counsel, memorialized in over a hundred court filings, to his fabrication of an e-mail submitted as evidence to the court, Rosales has behaved in embarrassing and shocking ways throughout this litigation," he wrote in the judgement. 

Rosales is appealing the decision.
