Administrative Order 2025-10 (Use of Artificial Intelligence in Court Filings) required any filing drafted in whole or in part with AI to carry a clear disclosure on the face of the document and a certification that citations were verified, with sanctions up to striking the filing, fees and costs, contempt, mandatory CLE, and Bar referral, applying equally to pro se litigants. RESCINDED by AO 2026-06 effective June 15, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. — the exact AOSC26-12 preemption moment. Tracked as history; no filer must comply. NOTE: the court's AO search facet still labels 2025-10 "Active" — a metadata error preserved in a review task; the rescission order controls.
HISTORICAL. Rescinded circuit-wide by AO 2026-06; preempted by AOSC26-12 and amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) (SC2026-0673). The court hosts the order at two URLs with different bytes (canonical 2025/09 upload sha 65f12ffb…; "_A2b" variant sha bbefe28a…) — both in BenchPath custody.

Reviewer note: | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. | Re-extracted 2026-07-26 from the numbered paragraphs following the order's ORDERED clause, replacing a first pass that had captured recitals and the effective date. Verbatim from the operative section of this order, re-extracted 2026-07-26; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14]
