Hopefully heavy sanctions. The case backlog in many courts is already bad enough, without the judges having to double-check that every case cited to them wasn't hallucinated (or grossly misrepresented) by some lazy lawyer's pet AI.

Plus - how many hour did Morgan & Morgan bill to their client, for the "work" of preparing the bogus brief?

I don't know about this case in particular, but Morgan & Morgan is a well-known plaintiff-side (mostly personal-injury) firm. Chances are good that they are working on a contingency basis. Of course, that does not excuse the behavior.
