The judge scolded the lawyers for doubling down on their fake citations.

Court documents are at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63107798/mata-v-avianca-inc/

The transcript of the hearing where the judge grilled the lawyers won't be available to the public for another 2 weeks.

I feel like the lawyers are getting off really easy, considering.

They just have to pay $5k each and notify their client and every judge they "cited" in their made-up cases that they did an oopsy.

Oh and they lost the case, but it seems like that was foreshadowed long before the lawyers decided that ChatGPT was a court docket search engine.
