Why this matter is tracked

In a Fair Credit Reporting Act case, a pro se plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment containing citations to nonexistent cases. The magistrate judge identified these fabricated citations in a report and recommendation. The district court reviewed the matter de novo, noting the plaintiff's assertion that the citations were unintentional and not made in bad faith. The court denied the motion for summary judgment without prejudice to refiling but formally warned the plaintiff that any future citation of nonexistent cases or failure to comply with local rules could result in severe sanctions, including the striking of pleadings, the imposition of filing restrictions, the dismissal of claims, and the assessment of monetary penalties.
