Why this matter warrants attention

In Plumbers & Gasfitters Union Local 75 Health Fund v. Morris Plumbing LLC, the Eastern District of Wisconsin enforced an email settlement over unpaid benefit contributions. In reply briefing, plaintiffs’ counsel cited a case that court staff could not locate and whose citation pointed to a different case, year, and circuit. The court warned that any future presentation of nonexistent, potentially AI-derived authority would result in sanctions.
