Grobler v. Kentucky Housing Corporation

CA Kentucky · Oct 2, 2026

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

Fabricated: Case Law | The brief cited a nonexistent Kentucky appellate decision as legal authority. The court stated that a simple Google search would show that the case does not exist. The Court of Appeals identified multiple citations in Grobler’s pro se brief as apparently AI-hallucinated, including three nonexistent Kentucky cases: Hunt v. Smith, 670 S.W.2d 248 (Ky. App. 1984), Bargo v. Bargo, 616 S.W.3d 389 (Ky. App. 2020), and Roberts v. Hensley, 422 S.W.3d 727 (Ky. App. 2013). The court also stated that several citations to real cases did not support the propositions for which they were cited. Treating these errors as a substantive violation of the appellate rules, the court limited review to manifest injustice and affirmed the order. The court separately rejected Grobler’s purported IRS Form 1099-C as plainly unauthenticated and not issued by the IRS, but did not identify that document as an AI hallucination.
