Docket text. OPINION AND ORDER: Considering the foregoing, and because neither the U.S. Trustee nor the Chapter 13 Trustee has advanced an additional basis for sanctions, the court will not impose sanctions on this occasion based on Debtors counsels use of Generative AI. See Order for additional details. Signed on 10/16/2026. Order due by 10/30/2026. Debtor and Creditor, Lynette Torres were notified by regular mail. (RE: related document(s)128, 141, 142, 143, 147, 148, 149, 150, 152).(HERNANDEZ ALEJANDRO, CYBELLE).

9011. Further, to the extent that Generative AI tools have been shown to generate legal research that includes nonexistent or fictitious judicial citations and decisions, and incorrect, false or inaccurate st atements of law, among others, mere reliance on a Generative AI tool for veracity does not co nstitute reasonable inquiry under Fed. R.

Here, in response to the Generative AI Order , counsel for the Debtor promptly filed the Motion in Compliance and the Amended Objection providing complete case citations. Moreover, the cited cases existed and were not fabricated. As to the statutes cited, the cour t will consider the Debtor’s characterizations thereof in the Motion in Compliance and the Amended Objection and will accord those authorities the weight warranted by their text, context, and applicability to the issues presented.

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.
