What the record shows
The court found that David C. Pellegrin used Google Gemini in drafting his brief and failed to verify the sources, resulting in a suspicious citation and quotation, in violation of Rule 11(b)(2). The court sanctioned him personally $1,000 (not payable by his firm or clients) and referred him to the district's Disciplinary Committee.

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.
