AI-related case
The Court found both Plaintiff's and Defendant's filings contained factitious citations and misrepresentations of precedent despite prior orders requiring verification; examples include a misstatement of Mitan v. Campbell and improper uses of Delay and Everett. The Court struck the objections and related filings, reiterated prior sanctions (imposed Nov. 20, 2025), and warned that further violations may incur additional sanctions. The Court ruled that even a single factitious citation violates its orders and justifies striking filings.
