Notice to Counsel and Litigants Regarding AI-Assisted Research: Attorneys and pro se litigants alike should exercise great caution in submitting any AI-generated language in filings before the Court. Use of AI without verification of the accuracy of the information it generates like any other shoddy research method from other sources or tools implicates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, the central purpose of which is to deter baseless filings in district court and thus to streamline the administration and procedure of the federal courts. Rule 11 applies fully to actions filed by pro se litigants.Therefore, all parties are on notice that the Court has a no-tolerance policy for any briefing (AI-assisted or not) that hallucinates legal propositions or otherwise severely misstates the law. Such filings will often result in sanctions absent reasonable excuse. See generally Willis v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n et al, No. 3:25-CV-516-BN, 2025 WL 1408897 (N.D. Tex. May 15, 2025).

ORDER. The parties jointly move the court to vacate its August 26, 2026, order to show cause because "Petitioner was not located in Connecticut at the time of filing the [petition for writ of habeas corpus], and was being transferred and on a flight from Massachusetts to Colorado." ECF No. 10. Petitioner represents that vacating the order "will permit Petitioner to address the jurisdictional and procedural implications of this information, and to consider whether to file for transfer and amendment." Id. The court, finding good cause exists, vacates the Order to Show Cause at ECF No. 8. Instead, on or before September 14, 2026, Petitioner shall file an amended habeas petition, move to transfer this case, or otherwise apprise the court of next steps in this action. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Omar A. Williams on 8/31/2026. (KM) [Transferred from Connecticut on 9/9/2026.] (Entered: 08/31/2026)

MOTION to Transfer to Another District by Pablo Alfonso Pauta Guaman. (Attachments: # 1 Memorandum in Support)(Foden, Mary) [Transferred from Connecticut on 9/9/2026.] (Entered: 09/01/2026)

Sep 02, 2026

ORDER. Petitioner filed an unopposed motion to transfer venue to the District of Colorado under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) as Petitioner has been housed at the Colorado Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, Colorado since August 25, 2026,--which was one day before his petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed in this District, thus predating the order at ECF No. 2 --and also because such transfer would be in the interest of justice. ECF No. 12. The undersigned finds that this case "might have been" brought in the District of Colorado, 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), as Petitioner's district of confinement at the time the writ for habeas corpus was filed, Ozturk v. Hyde, 136 F.4th 382, 390-94 (2d Cir. 2025) (citing Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 438 (2004)), appears to have been in Colorado, and the convenience and interest of justice factors favor transfer, see D.H. Blair & Co. v. Gottdiener, 462 F.3d 95, 106-07 (2d Cir. 2006). Accordingly, the court orders this case transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The court in Colorado will be free to take further action as to ECF No. 2 as such court deems appropriate. The Clerk of Court kindly is instructed to please transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Omar A. Williams on 9/2/2026. (KM) [Transferred from Connecticut on 9/9/2026.]
