An Oregon judge has ordered San Diego attorney, Stephen Brigandi, to pay nearly $96,000 in penalties for submitting legal filings containing AI-hallucinated filings. The penalties include $15,500 in disciplinary sanctions and nearly $80,500 for opposing counsel’s legal fees. A second attorney in the case, also ordered to pay more than $14,200 in opposing counsel's legal fees, raising the total monetary penalties north of $110,000. The judge dismissed all legal claims brought by Brigandi's client, Joanne Couvrette, against her brothers in the winery dispute. The sanctions against Brigandi and the other attorney are believed to be the highest in the U.S.
