Fabricated or misquoted citations

The Connecticut Superior Court on 2026-05-08 denied the name-change petition and contempt motion, added travel-notice directions, and noted likely AI-generated pleadings and nonexistent authority in Kyne v. Ehima. The self-represented father filed a pleading with two fabricated case citations and one fabricated factual or other assertion.

Disposition: The name-change application and contempt motion were denied, with ancillary family-court orders entered.
Recorded conduct: The father’s filings appeared drafted by ChatGPT and cited two nonexistent cases likely reflecting AI hallucinations. The court denied the requested relief but imposed no sanction. — outcome: noted, no consequence; actor: litigant in person
Canonical record: Incident tracker entry — verified outcome, regulator disposition and related rules

What the court wrote

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

(2026) 1 In an attempt to further understand the father's arguments, the Court attempted to review his pleadings from the dissolution case. The cases he cites for some of his propositions, such as “In re David W. , 58 Conn. App. 237 (2000)” and “In re Marriage of Doyle, 190 Conn. 748 (1983)”, do not exist and are likely artificial intelligence hallucinations. 2 The child resides with two half-siblings, ages ten and eleven, who also bear the surname Kyne. Kyne v. Ehima, Memorandum of Decision at 2 (Dec. 31, 2025, Egan, J. ). The mother's surname is therefore the operative family surname in the household in which Evelyn will be raised. 3 See Androvic v.
