Docket text. Order

STARNELLA The Court takes no position on attorneys’ use of generative AI in their filings, other than it is imperative that attorneys and pro se litigants who use AI double (and triple) check AI’s work to avoid filing documents with erroneous and fictitious case law or other references that mislead the Court and waste time.

12, 56, and 65—and the corresponding response and reply, shall contain an AI Certification regarding the use, or non-use, of generative AI in preparing the filing. The preparer of the filing must certify that (1) the legal authority cited therein is not the product of generative artificial intelligence and that (2) any language drafted by AI (even if later edited by a human) was personally reviewed by the filer or another human for accuracy and all legal citations are to actual, non- fictitious cases or cited authority. The Court will strike any filing (without prejudice) from a party who fails to include the AI Certification in the above-mentioned motions.

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.
