ADMIN. MOT. TO CONSIDER WHETHER TO
RELATE CASES; Case No. CV 10-5878 LHK
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 related action: Christina Jenkins and Jessica Veffer, on behalf of
5
themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. Apple, Inc., a California Corporation,
6
Defendant, Case No. 11-CV-01828-HRL, removed to this district on April 14, 2011.1 Apple
7
respectfully suggests that the Jenkins action is related to these consolidated actions.
8
The actions are related because they arise from the same or substantially identical
9
transactions, happenings or events, and call for determination of the same or substantially
10
identical questions and facts, and related questions of law. In particular, like these consolidated
11
actions, the Jenkins action involves allegations that certain software applications that can be
12
downloaded by users to work on iPhone or iPad devices capture and misuse personal identifying
13
information of iPhone and iPad users by transmitting information from the Unique Device
14
Identifier (“UDID”) associated with each device. Apple is a defendant in each of the
15
consolidated actions and is the only named defendant in the Jenkins action. The alleged capture
16
and misuse of user information from the devices’ UDID’s is claimed in all the actions to
17
constitute violations of various statutes and common law principles concerning personal privacy
18
and consumer protection.
19
For the foregoing reasons, assignment of the Jenkins action to this Court is likely to save
20
judicial and litigant resources, and it will diminish the likelihood of inconsistent results. In
21
addition, Apple believes that the Jenkins action is properly consolidated with these consolidated
22
actions as provided in the Court’s CMO No. 1.
23
In accordance with paragraph 3 of CMO No. 1, Apple has served a copy of CMO No. 1 on
24
counsel for Plaintiffs in the Jenkins action. Apple has also served a copy of the Court’s April 7,
25
2011 Order Appointing Interim Class Counsel and Executive Committee (Dkt. No. 65) and Order
