Why this matter is tracked

In a mortgage servicing dispute, the District of Idaho dismissed a pro se plaintiff's 206-page complaint for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a) and failure to respond to motions to dismiss. The court identified the complaint as a 'shotgun pleading' that lacked clear allegations against specific defendants. Additionally, the court noted that the plaintiff included fabricated or hallucinated case citations, specifically citing a non-existent case in the District of Colorado that was actually an appellate brief from Washington. The court granted the defendants' motions to dismiss without prejudice, providing the plaintiff 30 days to file an amended complaint that is concise, clear, and contains only verified legal citations.
