Alexey Dubinin v. Varsenik Papazian

FL / federal Editorial impact: high fake citations fabricated quotes bar referral administrative Monetary Bar Referral

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The Court sanctioned attorney Missiva Tilleli Khacer for filing documents containing AI-hallucinated legal authorities. The sanctions included a $4,030.90 monetary penalty for attorneys' fees and a referral to the Florida Bar and the Court's Grievance Committee for both Khacer and the assisting attorney, Nataliya Gavlin.

Why the court cared: Fabricated: Case Law | Plaintiff's Response cited a decision from this Court that does not exist; the Court's independent review confirmed non-existence. || False Quotes: Case Law | Response included quotations attributed to Eleventh Circuit opinions that do not appear in those opinions; Court identified multiple such misquotes. || Fabricated: Case Law | Court's Order to Show Cause listed at least ten instances across the Complaint and Response citing non-existent cases and quotes (AI-hallucinated authorities).
Why it matters now: Ten fake citations across a Complaint and Response equals bar referral; require second-attorney verification before any filing.

Why this matter is tracked

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida sanctioned attorney Missiva Tilleli Khacer after she filed a Complaint and Response containing multiple fabricated case citations and false quotations. The Court determined that the filings were drafted using generative artificial intelligence and that counsel failed to independently verify the authorities. Counsel admitted to delegating drafting to another attorney, Nataliya Gavlin, who in turn delegated the work to a legal assistant. The Court found the conduct constituted bad faith, noting a pattern of similar misconduct across multiple cases. Consequently, the Court struck the Complaint, dismissed the case, ordered the payment of $4,030.90 in attorneys' fees, and referred both attorneys to the Florida Bar and the Court's Grievance Committee for investigation.

Operational lesson

Ten fake citations across a Complaint and Response equals bar referral; require second-attorney verification before any filing.
