Why this matter warrants attention
Fabricated: Case Law | The Court stated that Plaintiff cited an apparently nonexistent Second Circuit case in his opposition; the citation was part of the Court’s discussion of the filings’ confusion and supported its Rule 8 analysis. Outcome: The Court identified apparently nonexistent cases in Plaintiff’s opposition as further support for dismissing the claims against the VA Defendants and transferring the remaining claims.. The Court observed that Plaintiff appeared to have copied and pasted third-party advice into his filings and cited apparently nonexistent cases, specifically Bennett v. United States, 77 F.4th 124 (2d Cir. 2023), and Detweiler v. United States, 131 F. Supp. 2d 116 (D.D.C. 2001). The Court treated these citations as evidence that the filings were confused and impenetrable, but did not impose a separate AI-related sanction. It dismissed the VA-related claims without leave to amend and transferred the Military Defendant claims to the Court of Federal Claims.
