AR / federal Editorial impact: medium pro se fake citations fabricated quotes misrepresented authority Ordered To Show Cause

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The court struck the plaintiff's AI-generated response to a motion to dismiss after finding it contained fabricated case law, false quotations, and pervasive misstatements of authority.

Why this matter is tracked

In a trademark infringement action, the pro se plaintiff submitted a response to a motion to dismiss that was prepared using generative AI. The defendant moved to strike the filing, identifying that the response contained two fabricated cases, twenty-three false quotations, and misstated holdings for twenty-seven of thirty cited authorities. The court found the AI-generated content pervasive, rendering the document unreliable and obstructive to the proceedings. Consequently, the court granted the motion to strike the plaintiff's response and issued an order to show cause why monetary sanctions should not be imposed for the submission of the AI-generated filing. The court further admonished the plaintiff regarding the necessity of verifying all legal authorities and exercising skepticism toward AI-generated materials.
