Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The Vermont Superior Court sanctioned a pro se litigant for filing fabricated case law and quotations. The court ordered the plaintiff to pay $7,360.96 in attorney's fees and imposed a pre-filing injunction, requiring the plaintiff to obtain judicial approval before filing any new documents in the Lamoille Civil Division.

Why the court cared: The court found that the plaintiff violated Rule 11(b)(2) by repeatedly submitting filings with non-existent case citations and fabricated quotations. The court determined that the plaintiff's conduct was not merely a result of his reliance on AI tools due to a disability, but rather demonstrated bad faith and an intent to harass. The court concluded that a pre-filing injunction was the only adequate sanction to protect the court and other parties, as the plaintiff had ignored previous warnings and was unlikely to pay monetary fines.
Why it matters now: This record documents a Pro Se Litigant filing issue in Vermont SC, with the listed outcome: Adverse Costs Order; Pre-Filing Injunction.

Why this matter is tracked

The Vermont Superior Court sanctioned a pro se litigant for repeatedly including fictitious case citations and fabricated quotations in his filings, violating Rule 11(b)(2). Despite prior warnings from other courts and his own promises to correct the behavior, the plaintiff continued to submit filings containing non-existent legal authority. The plaintiff attributed the errors to his use of artificial intelligence software to compensate for a 2018 traumatic brain injury, but the court rejected this as a justification, citing evidence of bad faith and an intent to harass. Consequently, the court awarded the defendants $7,360.96 in attorney's fees and imposed a pre-filing injunction requiring the plaintiff to obtain judicial permission before submitting future filings in the Lamoille Civil Division.
