Why this matter is tracked

In an employment discrimination case, the District of Colorado imposed a filing restriction on a pro se litigant, Nonnie Berg, following repeated failures to comply with procedural rules and the court's standing orders. The court found that the plaintiff repeatedly submitted filings containing hallucinated case law, including nonexistent citations to the Ninth and Tenth Circuits, and misrepresented the holdings of real cases. Despite multiple warnings from the court and the magistrate judge regarding the misuse of generative AI and the necessity of verifying citations, the plaintiff continued to submit noncompliant, untimely, and duplicative motions. The court concluded that these actions hindered the just and efficient resolution of the case, necessitating a restriction on future filings without prior leave of court.
