Lowrey v. City of Rio Rancho et al. (2)
D. New Mexico · May 21, 2026
What happened in this matter?
The Court denied the Plaintiff's motion for an evidentiary hearing, finding it to be an improper motion for reconsideration. The Court explicitly warned the Plaintiff again regarding his continued use of misleading or nonexistent case law and his disrespectful conduct toward the Court and opposing counsel.
- Why the court cared
- The Court reasoned that the Plaintiff's cited authorities (Johnson, Galindo, and Price) did not establish a requirement for an evidentiary hearing on jurisdictional facts or conflict-of-interest waivers in the context of the case. The Court further determined that the motion was an attempt to re-litigate issues already decided in previous orders without presenting new evidence or intervening changes in law.
- Why it matters now
- This case illustrates the intersection of pro se litigation and the use of AI-generated or hallucinated legal research. It highlights judicial mechanisms for managing litigants who repeatedly cite misleading authority despite prior warnings.
Why this matter is tracked
The pro se Plaintiff filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing regarding federal jurisdiction and attorney disqualification, citing several cases to support his position. The Court denied the motion, finding that the Plaintiff's arguments were previously addressed and that the cited authorities—Johnson, Galindo, and Price—did not support the Plaintiff's claims regarding jurisdictional hearings or conflict-of-interest waivers. The Court noted that the Plaintiff continued to rely on misrepresented or misleading case law despite a prior warning. Consequently, the Court denied the motion and issued a renewed warning to the Plaintiff regarding his duty to present non-frivolous arguments and accurate legal citations, while also admonishing him for his disrespectful tone toward the Court and opposing counsel.

Tracked discrepancy record

- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff claimed Johnson requires an evidentiary hearing when material jurisdictional facts are disputed; court explained Johnson addresses attorney ethical limits on representation, not entitlement to an evidentiary hearing on jurisdiction.
- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff asserted Galindo requires fact-finding when attorney authority or removal consent is disputed; Court found Galindo concerned disqualification in a different context and does not support Plaintiff's removal/hearing theory.
- Misrepresented: Case Law | Plaintiff asserted Price mandates conflict-of-interest waivers and that absent waivers the Court must hold an evidentiary hearing; Court explained Price involved different issues and did not establish such a rule for removal/disqualification proceedings.
- Fabricated: Case Law | Court previously warned Plaintiff for citing nonexistent cases and/or case law that misleads; Plaintiff continued to rely on such authority.
