Why this matter warrants attention
The Kentucky Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of a pro se litigant's motion for relief from judgment after the trial court identified that the litigant had cited non-existent case law and fabricated quotations in her filings, raising significant concerns regarding her candor and credibility before the court.
The linked source identifies the filing problem as: Appellant cited non-existent case law (court described some cited authorities as 'non-existent')..
The source records a concrete authority-verification problem in a state proceeding and the tribunal’s documented response to it.
