| D. Nev. -- Judge Christina D. Silve | 4/23/2025 | Generative AI | Generative AI Usage | In Saxena v. Martinez-Hernandez, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 78049 (D. Nev., Apr. 23, 2025), the Court denied the pro se plaintiff’s motion to reconsider the Court’s prior grant of the defendant’s motion to dismiss with prejudice (because the pro se plaintiff failed to adhere to an order regarding Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8). Along with other misconduct, the Court found that the plaintiff’s “use of AI generated cases—and his subsequent refusal to accept responsibility for doing so—is just another example of [his] abusive litigation tactics.” The Court therefore denied the motion for reconsideration of the prior dismissal, observing that, if it was only the AI misuse, it “may have been willing to merely warn” the pro se plaintiff, but the plaintiff’s “refusal to accept responsibility,” along with other misconduct, warranted the dismissal with prejudice. |
