Soroka, filed documents with the Fourth District Court of Appeal in a family-law dispute. The court denied her petition for extraordinary relief but also reviewed the quality of the filings and found some arguments long and unfocused. The court said the cited cases were real, so its concern was the reasoning built on them rather than fake authorities. The judges said they suspected the filings contained AI-generated material. The court ordered Soroka to explain why sanctions should not be imposed and gave her 10 days to respond. Soroka has not been sanctioned at this stage.","tags":[],"date_detected":null,"near_miss":null,"root_cause":null,"root_cause_detail":null,"failure_class_detail":null,"responsible_party":null,"adversarial_actor":null,"input_provenance":null,"time_to_contain":null,"operations_paused":null,"remediation":null,"precursor_events":null},"impact":{"direct_loss_usd":null,"remediation_hours":null,"records_exposed":null,"third_parties_affected_count":null,"severity":"minor","severity_because":"Judged minor: the test is contained to one deployer or evaluation with no third party touched.

They do not name the AI tool, its developer, model or version, nor any agent or tool permissions, so no system fields are given. The court did not confirm AI use; it said it suspected AI-generated material, so no failure class or agent involvement is recorded. The filing date, the year of the September 16 opinion (inferred by the article date but not stated in the quote), and the disclosure date are not stated as complete dates, so date fields are left out. No country is stated explicitly; Florida is named but I did not set a country code. The incident class other is my judgement, since the problem was poor-quality argument rather than hallucination, harmful output or another listed class. Severity minor is my judgement from the single matter and no stated third-party harm. No root cause, responsible party or trigger is stated, so those are left out. No risk in the closed list fits the stated facts, so risks is empty. No control is stated as held, failed or missing in the sources, so links is empty. The one remediation is advice from the article, not a change reported by a party, and its control mapping to I7 is my judgement.
