Moore v. Wireless CCTV LLC

S.D. Texas · Apr 27, 2026

TX / federal Editorial impact: low pro se fake citations employment trial Warning

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The court issued a formal warning to the plaintiff after identifying fabricated case law citations in her pleadings, which the court attributed to the use of generative AI. The court reminded the plaintiff of her Rule 11 obligation to verify the validity of all legal authorities cited in her filings.

Why the court cared: The court reasoned that the plaintiff's citations were non-existent and that the Westlaw identifier for one citation pointed to an unrelated case, indicating the use of generative AI. The court emphasized that pro se status does not exempt a litigant from the Rule 11 duty to confirm the validity of cited legal authority.
Why it matters now: This case highlights the judicial response to AI-generated hallucinations in pro se filings. It reinforces that courts will enforce Rule 11 verification requirements regardless of a party's pro se status and will explicitly identify and warn against the use of fabricated legal authorities.

Why this matter is tracked

In a dispute over compensation and benefits, the court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's second amended complaint. During the proceedings, the defendant identified that the plaintiff's filings contained citations to non-existent case law, specifically 'Thomas v. City of San Marcos' and 'Cole v. Sandler'. The court verified these citations and confirmed they were fabricated, noting that the Westlaw identifier for the latter pointed to an unrelated case. The court concluded these errors were likely the result of generative AI use. Consequently, the court issued a formal warning to the plaintiff regarding her Rule 11 obligations to verify the validity of all cited legal authorities, despite her pro se status.

Operational lesson

This case highlights the judicial response to AI-generated hallucinations in pro se filings. It reinforces that courts will enforce Rule 11 verification requirements regardless of a party's pro se status and will explicitly identify and warn against the use of fabricated legal authorities.
