Division 75 published an AI-use disclosure/certification requirement. Preempted eff. 6/15/2026 by Rule 2.515(d)(2) + AOSC26-12; independently re-fetched and confirmed STILL POSTED as of 2026-07-22. The Ninth Circuit has no circuit-level AI order and none was vacated.
The document names him "Judge K. Doug Walker"; the directory and assignment order use "Doug Walker." Applies in Division 75, Ninth Judicial Circuit.
If any attorney for a party, or a pro se party has used Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) in the preparation of any complaint, answer, motion, brief, or other paper filed with the Court, and assigned to Judge K. Doug Walker, MUST, in a clear and plain factual statement, disclose that AI has been used in any way in the filing, and CERTIFY, that each and every citation to the law or the record in the paper, has been verified as accurate.
G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
