Rotonde v. Stewart Title Insurance Co (1)

Justice Jamieson noted that while the court is “sensitive to plaintiff's pro se status,” that does not excuse disregard of procedural rules or the submission of fictitious citations. The court emphasized that its prior decision in related litigation in 2022 undermined plaintiff’s tolling claims, and that Executive Order extensions during the COVID-19 pandemic did not rescue otherwise-expired claims. The hallucinated citations failed to salvage plaintiff’s fraud and tolling theories, and their use was treated as an aggravating—though not yet sanctionable—factor

This matter connects pro se and trial involving AI (implied, unspecified) with Motion to dismiss granted in full; no sanction imposed, but court formally warned plaintiff in SC New York, making it a concrete reference point for verification, supervision, and response controls.
