UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
JACKSONVILLE DIVISION
IN RE: Use of Generative Artificial
Intelligence
/
STANDING ORDER
Due to the increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) in the
researching and drafting of legal documents, including pleadings, motions, briefs, and
other filings, the undersigned requires all parties appearing before her, through counsel
or pro se, to certify at the end of any filing:
(1) That no generative AI was used in the drafting and preparation of the filing; or
(2) To the extent that generative AI was used in any drafting of the filing, that any
language drafted by AI—even if later edited by a human—was personally
reviewed by the filer or another human for accuracy and that all legal citations
reference actual, non-fictitious cases or cited authority and accurately reflect
the contents of such authority.
The AI Certification does not count against any page limitations.
Filings that do not comply with this Order may be stricken without substantive
consideration and without leave to amend. Numerous failures to comply with the
certification requirement set forth in this Order or to otherwise properly review and ensure
the accuracy of AI generated content will result in sanctions up to and including dismissal
of claims with prejudice, default, and referral to the proper licensing authority.
All filings remain subject to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, 28 U.S.C. § 1927,
and applicable ethical rules.
DONE AND ORDERED in Jacksonville, Florida on April 2, 2026.
