Why this matter warrants attention
In Sheets v. Presseller et al., the Middle District of Florida denied a pro se plaintiff’s motion to compel in a First Amendment case arising from a farmers-market trespass. The City said the plaintiff used generative AI in discovery correspondence and cited an authority it could not locate. Although the court did not treat that citation as support for the motion, it required verification of all future sources and warned that nonexistent cases could lead to sanctions.
