1
Pursuant to Local Rule 3-12 and this Court’s Case Management Order No. 1 entered
2
March 15, 2011 (Dkt. No. 36) (“CMO No.1”), Defendant Apple Inc., a California corporation
3
(“Apple”), submits this Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should Be Related to
4
give notice of the following actions: (1) Gupta v. Apple Inc., Case No. 11-cv-02110-WHA (N.D.
5
Ca.) filed April 28, 2011;1 (2) Colon v. Apple Inc., Case No. 11-c-v-02270-PSG (N.D. Cal.) filed
6
May 9, 2011;2 and (3) Normand v. Apple Inc., Case No. 11-cv-2317-HRL (N.D. Cal.) filed May
7
10, 2011.3 Apple respectfully suggests that the Gupta, Colon, and Normand actions are related to
8
these consolidated actions.
9
The actions are related because they contain overlapping claims and call for determination
10
of multiple questions of fact and law that will be the same or substantially similar. In particular,
11
like these Consolidated Actions, the Gupta, Colon, and Normand actions involve allegations that
12
certain software on iPhone or iPad devices captures and stores location information of iPhone and
13
iPad users. Apple is a defendant in each of the actions. The alleged capture and storage of user
14
information from the devices is claimed in all the actions, with some variation, to constitute
15
violations of various statutes and common law principles concerning personal privacy and
16
consumer protection.
17
For the foregoing reasons, assignment of the Gupta, Colon, and Normand actions to this
18
Court is likely to save judicial and litigant resources, and it will diminish the likelihood of
19
inconsistent results. In addition, Apple believes that the Gupta, Colon, and Normand actions are
20
properly consolidated with these consolidated actions as provided in the Court’s CMO No. 1.
