As in "He said gave consent for the procedure" or "My professor said gave me an F".
A search for this was productive, if mildly frustrating - there's a lot of other reasons for those words to appear next to each other, but it definitely does seem to appear in the sense I saw more often than you'd expect for a speaker error.
You can see some examples at the following places:
Also, it does not matter if they said gave consent in the past for the same action. Consent is about the here-and-now.
An attorney (or firm) can be relieved of the duties owed to previously clients is said give consent (in writing) to do so. (This one is so odd I'm not sure it isn't an error.)
Nebraska's Matt Rhule said gave an update on the status of Dylan Raiola....
My instructor said gave me an F
Dr. David Persse said gave an update on what wastewater showed

My mother used to routinely go on a rant about how stupid English is because sometimes you say "I had had a cup of coffee already" and how dumb it is that the language forces you to say "had had" or "have had" at times.
