Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant cited a nonexistent case 'In re Marriage of Handley' to support that the standard of review is abuse of discretion; court identified it as fictitious, noted it was removed in corrected filings, and treated the citation as sanctionable conduct but declined sanctions. Outcome: Warning. The appellant (self-represented) cited two nonexistent cases in her appellate brief. The respondent flagged the fictitious citations and requested sanctions. The court found the citations fictitious, discussed sanction authority and AI-generated filings, but declined to impose sanctions because the request was procedurally inappropriate, the appellant corrected filings promptly, and the legal propositions were, in fact, supported by existing authority.
