What the record shows

The court found that a motion to dismiss signed by local counsel and New York co-counsel contained at least eight case citations the court described as false hallucinations generated by artificial intelligence, including real cases cited for propositions they do not support and non-existent quotations. The court imposed a monetary sanction on the drafting New York co-counsel payable to a New York organization and declined to sanction local co-counsel monetarily.

This entry reflects the court document as filed. The citations at issue could not be located in the reporters named at the time of the order. The reading here is descriptive of the public record and is not legal advice.

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.
