Miller, 594 F.3d 172 (3d Cir. 2010) about explicit imposition of monitoring costs; the court found those quotes and propositions false and Miller was misused.

Outcome: Ordered disclosure of AI use and affidavit certifying accuracy of citations for future filings. "12) The Al tool possibly used was sophisticated enough to include pinpoint citations to precedential Third Circuit authority.13) Fortunately for Boehm , the cases cited in his motion are very real decisions by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.14) Unfortunately for Boehm, these cases are misrepresented in his motion and his motion also contains false quotations from these opinions."
