For those following litigation over AI output, here’s the consolidation order, together with the motion that led to it. (The motion, in the nature of things, is a partisan presentation, but still seems potentially helpful.) Of the eight cases discussed in the motion, the motion says,
- 5 of the cases involve wrongful death claims, as follows, Raine (age 16), Lacey (age 17), Shamblin (age 23), Enneking (age 26), Ceccanti (age 48).
- 2 of the cases involve minors, as follows, Raine (age 16) and Lacey (age 17).
- 4 of the cases involve negligence claims based on negligence per se theories.
- All of these (Lacey, Shamblin, Enneking, and Ceccanti) allege violation of California Penal Code § 401(a) (deliberate aid and encouragement of suicide); and
- 1 of these (Shamblin) alleges violation of California Penal Code § 192(b) (manslaughter).
The motion lays out some of the general theories, and gives more details on each of the eight cases. (Presumably the other four cases were added on separately; the motion was filed Nov. 14, 2025, and the coordination hearing was on Jan. 30, 2026.)
