Notice to Counsel and Litigants Regarding AI-Assisted Research: Attorneys and pro se litigants alike should exercise great caution in submitting any AI-generated language in filings before the Court. Use of AI without verification of the accuracy of the information it generates like any other shoddy research method from other sources or tools implicates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, the central purpose of which is to deter baseless filings in district court and thus to streamline the administration and procedure of the federal courts. Rule 11 applies fully to actions filed by pro se litigants.Therefore, all parties are on notice that the Court has a no-tolerance policy for any briefing (AI-assisted or not) that hallucinates legal propositions or otherwise severely misstates the law. Such filings will often result in sanctions absent reasonable excuse. See generally Willis v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n et al, No. 3:25-CV-516-BN, 2025 WL 1408897 (N.D. Tex. May 15, 2025). Signed by Clerk on 3/16/2026.(Limberti, L) (Entered: 03/17/2026)

ORDER granting 3 Motion to Seal. The Court finds a clear and compelling reason for the sealing insofar as the filing contains the personal information of a minor. The Court further finds that the proposed sealing is narrowly tailored to protect this privacy interest, which outweighs the public's interest in access to this material. Signed by Judge Kari A. Dooley on 3/17/2026. (Gould, K) (Entered: 03/17/2026)
