Critically, the trial court’s order, which was drafted by the plaintiffs’ attorney, contains several mistakes. In addition to citing federal law applicable to motions to dismiss and confusing constitutional claims with employment discrimination, it also ignores binding Georgia precedent, mis-quotes cases cited, and relies on at least one hallucinated case. We find it troubling that counsel submitted such an order to the trial court, and regrettable that the trial court failed to identify any of these errors.

S26A0459, slip op. at 1-5(1)-(4), 2026 WL 1215905 (Ga. May 5, 2026) (sanctioning counsel who prepared order citing hallucinated cases, remanding to the trial court to issue a new order omitting such citations, and encouraging trial courts to engage in a careful review of materials submitted to it); Slay v. Ross, __ Ga.

See Payne, Case No. S26A0459, slip op. at 1-5(1)-(4) (remanding case for reconsideration without hallucinated cases). (b) Is there a waiver of the district’s sovereign immunity for state law claims brought in state court?

What the text mentions

Pattern matches on the documents' text. Each line is a fact that the text contains the words, not a finding about the case.

Where this fits

This page is a record, not legal advice. It quotes the documents on file and lists what their text mentions. Read the decision at the source before relying on it, and check whether a later order changed it.

Every case in this record shares one cause: a citation reached a court without anyone opening it. What a citation gate is explains the mechanism that makes that impossible by construction; how to check an AI citation in five minutes is the manual version; the sanctions record is the essay this table grew out of.
