What the record shows
Defendant Harry R. Thomasson, a New York-admitted attorney appearing on his own behalf, relied on AI-generated content that produced citations to non-existent legal authority in an opposition brief; the court independently located an additional non-existent citation. The court imposed a $1,500 monetary sanction under Rule 11, payable into the court registry, and expressly declined to refer Thomasson to the grievance committee.
This entry reflects the court document as filed. The citations at issue could not be located in the reporters named at the time of the order. The reading here is descriptive of the public record and is not legal advice.

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.
