Pursuant to Local Rule 3-13, Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) submits this Notice of
Pendency of Other Action or Proceeding to give notice of the following action: Burke, et al. v.
Apple Inc., et al., Case No. 11-cv-01855-JEO, filed June 1, 2011 in the United States District
4
Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
5
The action is a putative class action purportedly brought on behalf a class of users of
6
7
iPhone and iPad devices (“iDevices”) throughout the United States. Apple is named as a
8
defendant, and the plaintiff seeks to recover for alleged violations of privacy rights based on
9
supposed access of users’ iDevices by applications that can be downloaded by users from Apple’s
10
App Store and the alleged capture and storage of location data on iDevices.
11
12
13
The action is related to these Consolidated Actions. The action contains claims that
overlap with the claims alleged in the Consolidated Complaint,1 and calls for determination of
14
multiple questions of fact and law that will be the same or substantially similar. In particular, the
15
action involves allegations that certain software applications capture and abuse personal
16
identifying information of iDevice users and allegations that Apple captures and stores user
17
location information on iDevices. Apple is a defendant in the Burke action and the Consolidated
18
Actions. The alleged capture of iDevice user information or storage of location information is
19
claimed in the actions to constitute violations of various statutes and common law principles
20
21
concerning personal privacy and consumer protection.
