WRI Summit REIT LP v. Kuerschner

What the court wrote

Verbatim from the court's document (public domain). Ellipses mark omitted text; nothing is paraphrased.

Stefanie’s opening brief does not include a single citation to the record. Her opening brief also consistently misquotes cases and cites cases for propositions either not mentioned or directly contradicted by the case. And one case she cites appears not to exist. ... On page 27, the brief quotes State ex rel. Dep’t of Econ. Sec. v. Burton, 205 Ariz. 27, 30, ¶ 14 (App. 2003) as saying that an appellate court will find an abuse of discretion if a ruling was “manifestly unreasonable, or exercised on untenable grounds, or for untenable reasons.” But Burton contains none of that language. ... On page 48, the brief cites Cruz v. Superior Court (Ramirez), 172 Ariz. 462, 464 (App. 1992). We cannot locate a case with this name in the Arizona appellate courts. ... These citation errors are consistent with the misuse of generative AI. ... Dismissal of Stefanie’s appeal is warranted under ARCAP 25 because she continued to violate ARCAP 13 despite receiving repeated warnings about its requirements and of the consequences for failing to comply.
