Why this matter is tracked
Fabricated: Case Law | Plaintiff's opposition cited a non-existent SDNY case to argue charter schools are not subject to notice-of-claim requirements; the Court noted the case does not exist. Outcome: No monetary sanctions imposed; counsel admonished. "The appearance of hallucinated citations in briefs generated from AI is no longer in its nascent stage. Regrettably, the number and regularity with which courts have been faced with hallucinations in court filings continues to rise both in this country and abroad. See Damien Charlotin, AI Hallucination Cases, (Aug. 6, 2025)https://www.damiencharlotin.com/hallucinations/ (database tracking legal decisions “in caseswhere generative AI produced hallucinated content,” evidencing 255 cases to date) (hereinafter “Charlotin Database”).[...]By far, the majority of courts impose sanctions upon the offending lawyer for this sort of conduct and warnings or reprimands have been meted out in cases typically involving pro se litigants. See Charlotin Database, supra. However, there are circumstances where, in the Court’s discretion, monetary sanctions have not been imposed notwithstanding the violation of Rule 11."
