Bruno Roberto Rodriguez v. Kathryn Louise Rodriguez

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The court dismissed the petition and issued an order to show cause requiring the attorney to justify the inclusion of non-existent and mischaracterized case law, and to explain why she should not face sanctions or a referral to the Florida Bar for potential disciplinary action.

Why the court cared
The court reasoned that attorneys have an ethical duty to verify the existence and accuracy of all cited authorities, regardless of whether generative AI was used in the drafting process. It adopted the reasoning from Hessert v. Hessert, asserting that courts have the authority and duty to maintain the integrity of proceedings and safeguard the legal profession by sanctioning or referring counsel who fail to perform basic cite-checking.
Why it matters now
Verify every cited case exists and supports the exact proposition before filing a petition.

Why this matter is tracked

The Sixth District Court of Appeal of Florida dismissed a petition for writ of certiorari after identifying that the filing contained fabricated case citations and mischaracterized legal precedents. The court noted the petition appeared to be prepared by counsel with the assistance of generative AI without adequate verification guardrails. Citing its recent decision in Hessert v. Hessert, the court emphasized the professional obligation of attorneys to ensure the accuracy of all filings. Consequently, the court ordered the attorney to file a supplemental appendix providing copies of all cited cases and to show cause within ten days why she should not be sanctioned or referred to the Florida Bar for disciplinary action.

Operational lesson

Verify every cited case exists and supports the exact proposition before filing a petition.
