Judge Herndon DCMO: generative-AI face-of-filing disclosure clause [PREEMPTED June 15, 2026 — still posted]
Judge Herndon's live differentiated civil case-management and motion-practice order retains an all-caps clause requiring generative-AI use in a pleading or motion to be noted on its face. Since June 15, 2026, AOSC26-12 bars local AI-disclosure mandates and the circuit's own A-2026-13-A §2.D disclaims any such requirement — the clause is preempted but remains posted (a judge-level holdout, like the model clause in A-2024-59).
