Docket text. Opposition

These are hallmark artifacts of OCR mis-conversion, not of AI-fabricated “hallucinated” case law, which typically manufactures entire case names or holdings that do not exist at all.

ARGUMENT POINT I THE CITATION ERRORS RESULTED FROM OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION ERRORS, NOT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND THE UNDERLYING MOTION HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN 6. The Trustee's Motion is built substantially aroun d the premise that Counsel submitted AI- generated “hallucinated” case citations to the Court, and devotes extensive discussion to case law addressing sanctions for that specific form of misconduct. See Motion ¶¶ 7-16 (citing In re Martin , 670 B.R.

This distinguishes the present matter sharply from the AI- hallucination cases the Trustee relies upon, in which counsel cited entirely fabricated cases that do not exist in any reporter.

The motion was withdrawn. The isolated citation- verification lapse, promptly corrected through withdrawal of the motion in which it appeared, is a materially different matter from the knowing or reckless submission of fabricated authority, and does not, standing alone, support disgorgement of the entirety of a fee for the case. 9.

What the text mentions

Pattern matches on the documents' text. Each line is a fact that the text contains the words, not a finding about the case.

Where this fits

This page is a record, not legal advice. It quotes the documents on file and lists what their text mentions. Read the decision at the source before relying on it, and check whether a later order changed it.

More from United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. New York, from New York, or from 2026. The whole record is at court decisions on AI-hallucinated citations.

Every case in this record shares one cause: a citation reached a court without anyone opening it. What a citation gate is explains the mechanism that makes that impossible by construction; how to check an AI citation in five minutes is the manual version; the sanctions record is the essay this table grew out of.
