2011) (indictment must provide sufficient detail to ensure fair notice and protect against double jeopardy)”). The principle to which Counsel cited is old and undisputed and Counsel has no idea how that case name got hallucinated into the brief. Counsel does use Artificial Intelligence including LEXIS AI, ChatGPT, and Grok.

The principle Counsel was reciting is uncontroversial. Counsel was operating under extreme time pressure due to Counsel’s current caseload.1 Counsel did not follow his ordinary practice of putting all the cites back into LEXIS to check for hallucinations. Counsel apologizes for this mistake and will not repeat it.

What the text mentions

Pattern matches on the documents' text. Each line is a fact that the text contains the words, not a finding about the case.

Where this fits

This page is a record, not legal advice. It quotes the documents on file and lists what their text mentions. Read the decision at the source before relying on it, and check whether a later order changed it.

More from District Court, S.D. California, from California, or from 2025. The whole record is at court decisions on AI-hallucinated citations.

Every case in this record shares one cause: a citation reached a court without anyone opening it. What a citation gate is explains the mechanism that makes that impossible by construction; how to check an AI citation in five minutes is the manual version; the sanctions record is the essay this table grew out of.
