This page lists every correction applied to a record after the court document was read, generated from the same files the importer applies (data/*-corrections.json). Dates are the day the primary source was read for that correction; an entry without a recorded date says so.

It declines to refer her to any disciplinary body or revoke her pro hac vice status, and never reprimands her. The upstream outcome 'public reprimand' is not in the order, and its mention of a disciplinary referral made the importer tag the case bar-referral although the court refused one.

Alaska order (No. 3:24-cv-0007-HRH, 12 Feb 2026, Judge Holland) grants the defendants' motion for summary judgment (Docket 14) on the ADEA and ADA claims and dismisses the complaint (Part V). Footnote 4 only records that the defendants 'have provided a list identifying 17 cases cited by Plaintiff that quote language that does not exist in the case, including one where the language is correct but from a different case' (Docket 23-1) and says AI 'requires caution' and that attorneys should use AI only for easily verifiable tasks. The court makes no finding that each of the 17 quotations is fabricated, issues no order to show cause, no fine, fee award or referral.

Kilbane, 2025-Ohio-5053, No. 115338, 31 Oct 2025) grants the judge's motion to dismiss the writ action, declines the relator's suggestion to amend her petition with correct legal authority because she did not proffer a proper motion to amend, orders the relator to pay costs and enters 'Writs dismissed.' The upstream Outcome cell is empty, so the page showed 'no adjudicated outcome recorded' beside a summary that states the dismissal. No monetary amount and no sanction for the hallucinated cases is stated (costs are the ordinary cost of the dismissed action), so none is recorded.

Before(blank)AfterAppeals dismissed as inadmissible (the grounds did not engage with the lower court's reasoning); the court remarked it was strange that the appellants 'cite' a multitude of non-findable decisions asserting higher-court case law that does not exist; nothing imposed for the citationsUpstream outcome cell is blank. The VGH Baden-Württemberg order (8 Jul 2025) dismisses the Beschwerden under § 146(4) VwGO and apportions costs by the ordinary rule; the citation remark is an aside ('Lediglich ergänzend'). The EUR 11,250 is the value of the dispute (Streitwert), not a sanction, so the amount stays null. The ordinary allocation of the appeal's costs (operative part, para 3) is not a measure for the citations, so the outcome text leaves it out (the word would tag the record as a monetary sanction).

Para 27: 'I assess an additional $1,000 (not $2,000 as requested) per set of Defendants/Respondents', on top of costs of $10,989.99 and $11,087.15; para 37: for the third set (Soete and Elite) costs are $26,000 all-inclusive, which includes 'an additional $1,000 for the fake authorities'. Three sets, so CAD 3,000 attributable to the fake authorities; the upstream '1000 CAD' was one set only.

The upstream outcome says 'cited authorities', which could read as the authorities in the opposition brief; the court means those cited in its own opinion. The derived sanction_types for this row ('none-adjudicated') cannot be changed through the outcome text: reading-and-certifying orders are deliberately excluded from 'non-monetary' (lib/sanction-types.mjs).

Outcome
BeforeThe second defendant's Notice of Motion for summary dismissal of the plaintiff’s claim was dismissed, with costs reserved to the trial judge.AfterThe second defendant's motion to end the claim summarily was refused; who pays is left to the trial judge. The judge found her submissions were AI-generated and misstated or invented authorities ('not to the credit of the second defendant ... it must not happen again'); no sanction was imposed[2025] NSWDC 221, Gibson DCJ, order 1: the second defendant's motion for summary dismissal 'dismissed, with costs reserved to the trial judge'. The reasons say 'No costs orders have been made against them' and 'it is not to the credit of the second defendant that she put false AI-generated material before the court, and it must not happen again'. The motion refused is the defendant's own, so the upstream outcome read as a dismissal or monetary sanction for the AI use is not supported.

The opinion contains no warning, admonition or sanction (searched warn, caution, sanction): the disposition is 'AFFIRMED' (para 87). The upstream 'Warning' has no basis in this opinion.

Security for costs is a deposit, not a penalty for the AI use, so the monetary cell stays blank and the outcome states what was ordered.

BeforeCosts Order; Disclosure ObligationsAfterMonetary sanction on counsel (the defendants' legal fees, amount to be set on a fee application) under 22 NYCRR 130-1.1(a) for breach of candor and a malicious complaint, not for the citations; order to explain: counsel must state within five days whether he used AI and explain the citations to non-existent casesPp. 4-5 and 7: sanctions under 22 NYCRR 130-1.1(a) are granted against plaintiff's counsel because he 'violated his duty of candor' (settlement check) and the complaint is 'malicious and aimed at embarrassing and harassing Defendants'; he owes the defendants 'their legal fees incurred in filing this motion and opposing Plaintiff's cross motion', amount to be set on a fee application within 14 days (no figure yet). Pp. 5-7: separately, because of the false citations, counsel must within five days state whether he used AI and explain the non-existent citations. The upstream 'Costs Order; Disclosure Obligations' did not say that the fee sanction is not for the citations.

There is no formal warning in the operative orders, so upstream 'Warning' is a generous reading.

The case later ended with prejudice under Rule 41(b) for missing a status conference and not answering a second show-cause order; the opinion does not rest on the citationsThe memorandum opinion (N.D. Ohio 1:25-cv-1057, Doc. 81, 25 Mar 2026) dismisses under Rule 41(b) because 'Lu failed to respond to the Show Cause Order' about a missed status conference. The fake cases appear only in the background section ('Lu then filed ... a brief which contained numerous fake cases ... Lu apologized and withdrew or corrected his filings, Doc. 47'); the four-factor analysis rests on delay and failure to participate. Upstream 'Factor in dismissing the case with prejudice' therefore overstates the link.

He writes 'separately to note' that the petition's attributions and quotations 'strongly appear to be AI-fabricated hallucinations' and states in general terms to counsel who appear before the Court that trusting AI without verification 'will require the Court to take the necessary corrective action'. That is one justice's general statement about future filings, not a warning issued to the relator or counsel and not an order; the panel's disposition is not in the document. The upstream 'Warning' presents it as the court's measure. (The summary text, which also attributes the statement to the court, is not a correctable column.)

GST) ordered against the plaintiffs, and their solicitor Mr Smits ordered to indemnify AUD 73,603 personally for untenable claims; the court found the AI-generated non-existent cases had no impact on the costs order against the plaintiffs and little impact on the one against Mr Smits; declined to refer him to the Legal Services Commissioner[2025] NSWSC 1607, Black J: order 1 (Mr Smits indemnifies up to the fixed sum of $73,603) and order 2 (plaintiffs pay $122,673 exclusive of GST, less any amount recovered from Mr Smits). Para 43: the non-existent cases 'were likely generated by the use of artificial intelligence. However ... this matter seems to me to have no impact on whether a gross sum costs order should be made against Mr and Mrs Edmonds ... and little impact on whether a costs order should be made against Mr Smits. I also do not consider it to be necessary or desirable ... to refer the matter to the Legal Services Commissioner'. Upstream said the amount was not stated and that AI misuse was a factor; the monetary cell stays the costs-ordered sentinel because the figures are not attributable to the AI conduct alone (data/amount-audit.json, figure_not_attributable_to_ai).

The Senate does not say the decisions are invented, only that the citation cannot be found. 'Fabricated' becomes 'Unverified'.

BeforePetition Dismissed Outright; Warning re: Costs/Discipline.AfterPetition dismissed; first case of its kind, so the court used none of its powers against counsel (no personal expenses or fine) but said courts should use them in similar future cases; copy of the judgment sent to the Courts AdministratorPara 25: the court lists the tools available against a misleading pleading (including personal costs on counsel) and says that, this being a first case of its kind, 'far beyond the letter of the law' it did not find fit to use any of them, while future courts should use their powers in similar cases. Para 27: 'the petition is therefore dismissed'; a copy of the judgment goes to the Courts Administrator. No costs or fine were imposed, so the 'monetary' type and the 'warning re: costs' were wrong.

BeforeRelevant motions strickenAfterSix of the defendant's filings (ECF Nos. 7, 9, 11, 22, 88 and 115: answer, motion to recuse and responses, opposition, motion for reconsideration and reply) struck from the record; the court chose striking over a fine, which it judged unlikely to deter her, because the filings were burdensome, not cogent and cited nonexistent or irrelevant cases; replacement filings allowedThe upstream outcome 'Relevant motions stricken' derives no sanction type because 'stricken' is not matched, although striking is exactly what the court did. pp. 26-27: monetary sanctions 'likely will not deter her' so 'the most appropriate remedy is to strike Lucas' filings' that are burdensome by volume and page limits, not cogent, and cite nonexistent or irrelevant cases; the six filings are ECF Nos. 7, 9, 11, 22, 88 and 115 (answer, motion to recuse, responses and oppositions, motion for reconsideration, reply) and p. 28 allows replacement filings. p. 29: 'were STRICKEN from the record'. The outcome is restated with the word 'struck' and the full list, so the derived sanction type is struck-filing.

Drahus); the First Amendment question, which relied on one of them, was held not preserved, the sufficiency challenge was decided on the merits, and the judgment of sentence was affirmedOnly the third question (First Amendment) is held not preserved, partly because 'part B of the argument section ... cites one non-existent case' (Drahus, footnote 2); the In re G.B.K. citation (footnote 1) sits in the sufficiency argument, which the court decides on the merits ('we address the merits of his sufficiency challenge below').
