Why this matter is tracked
In a civil rights action, the S.D. New York Magistrate Judge identified multiple instances of fabricated case law quotations and citations within the pro se plaintiff's reply memorandum. The court specifically noted that three cited authorities did not contain the attributed language or, in one instance, did not contain the quoted passage in any decision on the docket. Citing precedent regarding the impropriety of submitting non-existent judicial opinions, the court ordered the plaintiff to file a sworn statement by December 3, 2025. This statement must categorize all citations from the filing into accurate and improper lists, explain the origin of any inaccuracies, and disclose whether other filings contain similar fabrications. The court reserved the right to issue an Order to Show Cause regarding potential sanctions.
