Why this matter is tracked

In a foreclosure-related civil action, the Magistrate Judge identified that the pro se plaintiffs' filings contained multiple citations to non-existent cases, mischaracterizations of existing case law, and incorrect citations. The Court observed that these errors likely resulted from the plaintiffs' use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) without verifying the accuracy of the generated content. The Court noted that pro se status does not excuse compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), which requires that legal contentions be warranted by existing law. Consequently, the Court issued a formal warning to the plaintiffs, cautioning that further inappropriate use of GenAI could lead to sanctions, including the striking of briefs or the imposition of fines.
