Baqleh v. Altamirano concerns a request to use AI to review confidential discovery in litigation arising from Baqleh’s arrest. The October 28, 2026 order addresses discovery protection rather than the underlying arrest claims.[1]
October 28, 2026 AI-review ruling
Baqleh sought to use ChatGPT to timestamp, transcribe and organize body-camera footage. Judge Gilliam treated the request as proposed disclosure to a third party under the existing protective order. He denied relief because Baqleh had not shown good cause: proposed safeguards lacked substantiation, while reviewing the 30-minute video manually imposed little burden.[1]
The court also rejected Baqleh’s narrower request for a business or private service with safeguards set by the court. It distinguished agreed AI review of large discovery collections. The ruling concerns this confidential footage and this record; it does not announce a general prohibition on AI-assisted discovery.[1]
