In re Troylond Malon Wise

W.D. Louisiana (Bankruptcy) · Apr 9, 2026

LA / federal Editorial impact: medium fake citations misrepresented authority bankruptcy trial Monetary Bar Referral

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The court sanctioned attorney Kathleen M. Wilson for violating Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9011(b)(2) by filing AI-generated pleadings containing fabricated case law and statutes. The court ordered a $2,750 monetary penalty, struck the misleading filings, and prohibited the attorney from practicing in the district until she completes six hours of in-person AI-focused continuing legal education.

Why the court cared: The court reasoned that the attorney failed her professional responsibilities under Rule 9011 by filing pleadings without verifying the accuracy of AI-generated citations. The court determined that sanctions were necessary to deter future misconduct, noting that the attorney's admission and the case being a matter of first impression in the district justified a lower monetary penalty than in similar precedents.

Why this matter is tracked

In a bankruptcy proceeding, the court sanctioned attorney Kathleen M. Wilson for filing pleadings containing fabricated legal authorities and nonexistent statutes generated by artificial intelligence. The attorney admitted to using generative AI to draft an Objection and a Supplemental Response, which included citations to a nonexistent statute (La. R.S. § 9:5774) and a nonexistent case (In re Buttermilk Towne LLC), as well as a misrepresented case (In re Garcia). Finding a violation of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9011(b)(2), the court struck the offending filings, imposed a $2,750 monetary sanction, and barred the attorney from filing or participating in new bankruptcy cases in the district until she completes six hours of in-person AI-focused CLE.
