What the record shows
The court found that solo practitioner Matthew V. Moosbrugger submitted a response brief with nine citation deficiencies, including one nonexistent case, generated through an AI tool he identified as 'Federally Lawyer,' an add-on to enterprise ChatGPT. Crediting his candor and self-reporting, the court declined to impose further sanctions but directed the clerk to provide the order to the State Bar of Arizona Disciplinary Committee.

The test this filing did not run
Every matter in this record shares one mechanism: a citation that did not resolve to an opinion in the reporter named, in a brief that was filed before any verification step ran. Veritas runs that step. The Filing Risk Scanner extracts each citation, resolves it against reporter and public-record sources, and returns a verdict on each one — located, partial, or not located in reporter — before the brief is signed.
