Leafwell, Inc. v. The Doc App, Inc. (2)

M.D. Florida · Jurisdiction not recorded · Jun 9, 2026

The court noted prior filings contained numerous fabricated citations but observed Castro had nominally improved by citing existing authority. Because existing sanctions from a prior order remained and the court found additional sanctions excessive, it denied the plaintiff's motion for further sanctions. The court attributed much of the problem to Castro's failure to review AI-generated material rather than prohibiting AI use outright.
