Thomas Raynard James v. Detective Kevin Conley, et al.

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida · Florida · Aug 27, 2026

Plaintiff’s counsel included multiple purported IACP "Training Keys" in the Fifth Amended Complaint that later could not be verified and were conceded to be the product of unverified AI-augmented research (AI hallucinations). Defendant moved for Rule 11 sanctions; the Court denied the motion on procedural grounds because the safe-harbor service requirement was not satisfied. The Court found counsel’s reliance on unverified AI-generated material irresponsible, denied sanctions, and recommended referral of the signing attorneys to the Ad Hoc Committee for potential disciplinary review.
