Why this matter warrants attention
The Missouri Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal of a pro se litigant after finding his brief contained three fictitious cases, thirteen irrelevant citations, and five improper pin-citations to non-legal sections of case reporters. The court determined these errors violated the duty of candor and rendered meaningful review impossible.
The linked source identifies the filing problem as: Three citations in Moore's brief were completely fictitious (nonexistent cases) as identified by the court..
The source records a concrete authority-verification problem in a state proceeding and the tribunal’s documented response to it.
