Why this matter warrants attention
The court identified multiple fabricated and misrepresented case citations in the plaintiff's filings, which it attributed to the use of an AI program. Counsel apologized to the court, admitting to a failure to properly review the submissions. The court disregarded the defective legal arguments and granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint.
Fabricated: Case Law | Citation “Matter of Knapp v Knapp, 225 AD2d 1010 (4th Dept 1996)” could not be located under that name and instead led to a different matter (Orange Steel Erectors v Newburgh Steel Products Inc.); court found it defective/unverified. || Fabricated: Case Law | Citation “Matter of Negron v St. Charles Hosp. & Rehab. Ctr., 121 AD3d 1427 (2d Dept 2014)” led to a different matter (People v Rojas) and did not support counsel's argument; court could not find the cited matter. || Fabricated: Case Law | Citation “Matter of Polizzi v Polizzi, 226 AD2d 581 (2d Dept 1996)” did not correspond to that matter and led to a different case (Epes v Healey); court found it defective/unverified. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Citation “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Estwick, 160 AD3d 911 (2d Dept 2018)” exists but the opinion does not support the proposition asserted by counsel; misrepresentation of precedent.
