Chapter 119<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cAs filing of this complaint, defendant still has not responded or produced the public records,\u201d the November complaint reads. \u201cThis action is not bought for a frivolous purpose but a genuine need to obtain public records.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to the city\u2019s motion to dismiss, stating that it had complied with public records law and provided all records it could at the time, Pierre said the city used AI, which allegedly cited case law that does not exist.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdministrative Order 26.04 mandates disclosure of any generative artificial intelligence used in the preparation of court filings and prohibits the submission of fictitious or unverified legal authority,\u201d the motion for sanctions filed on February 2 reads. \u201cThe order prohibits: submission of fictitious, fabricated, or hallucinated legal authority, statutes, quotations, or facts; reliance on AI-generated citations without independent verification.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pierre wrote that the city cited a fake case, Kline v. Miami-Dade County, from the Florida Third District Court of Appeals. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat case does not exist,\u201d he said. \u201cThe only Florida appellate decision reported at 200 So. 3d 271 (2016) is Kline v. University of Miami, a First District case \u2014not a Third District case\u2014and it does not support the city\u2019s asserted proposition.\u201d<\/p>\n
He goes on to argue that North Miami attorneys mischaracterized case law by citing cases that do not support their claims, particularly Stern v. City of Miami Beach, a case in which he served as co-counsel. He also pointed to Mazer v. Orange County and Morris v. City of Miami.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m like, I was on that case. I don\u2019t think that stands for the proposition that they\u2019re saying,\u201d Pierre tells New Times. \u201cSo then I started looking deeper in going into each case\u2026 and I was like, \u2018Oh [they\u2019re] using AI to kind of stop me from getting any relief under the act, meaning basically, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re going to give you the records, but you\u2019re not entitled to any fees because we don\u2019t believe we justifiably delayed,\u2019 but I\u2019m saying what you\u2019re citing doesn\u2019t even stand for the proprisition you\u2019re citing it for.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of February 5, Pierre tells New Times he has not yet received all of the requested records, including body-worn camera footage, which he paid for.<\/p>\n
In his motion, Pierre argued that the city\u2019s \u201creliance on nonexistent and mischaracterized legal authority\u201d constitutes sanctionable conduct.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlorida courts have made clear that the submission of fictitious or hallucinated case, whether by counsel or a litigant, violates fundamental duties of candor and professionalism and warrants sanctions,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pierre also argues that North Miami attorneys mischaracterized case law by citing cases that do not support their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[2161,225,227,226],"class_list":["post-171917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-government","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
