Why this matter warrants attention
The court identified multiple fabricated citations and misrepresented case law in a pro se litigant's filings. The Magistrate Judge attributed these errors to the unverified use of AI software, noting that the court had previously admonished the plaintiff for similar conduct.
False Quotes: Case Law | Plaintiff quoted Garrison v. Gambro as stating summary judgment is a "drastic remedy" to be granted "with caution;" the court found Garrison does not contain that language or proposition. || False Quotes: Case Law | Plaintiff cited Tuckel v. Glover as recognizing unavailability where an inmate is "so sick" or incapacitated; the court found Tuckel does not include the quoted language or reflect that proposition. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff's citation to Lemons v. Portfolio Recovery Assocs. in his Surreply was incorrect per the court (citation error/misrepresentation). || Fabricated: Case Law | Plaintiff cited Braham v. Cty. of Washington, No. 2:19-CV01128, 2020 WL 1166395, at *6, but the court could not locate any such case or citation, suggesting a fabricated citation. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff cited Jones v. Bock for the proposition that the defendant bears the burden of proving availability of administrative remedies; the court noted Jones does not support that proposition.
