On January 14, 2016, Defendant Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) filed a Motion to Dismiss
2
Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint (“Motion”) [Dkt. 101]. On April
3
28, 2016, this Court heard argument on the Motion and took the matter under submission [Transcript,
4
Dkt. 123]. Two days ago, subsequent to oral argument, an opinion in this District was issued that bears
5
directly on the Motion. See Campbell v. Facebook, Inc., 13-cv-5996-PJH, order dated May 18, 2016
6
(N. D. Cal.), slip opinion appended as Exhibit A.
7
The Campbell Court granted in part and denied in part plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of
8
Facebook users alleging that Facebook improperly intercepted URLs included in private electronic
9
messages. In the order, the Court ruled that the subject URLs are “contents” within the meaning of the
10
Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act,1 distinguishing In
11
re: Zynga Privacy Litig., 750 F.3d 1098 (9th Cir. 2014). See Ex. A, Slip Op. at 19-20. This holding
12
relates to arguments made by the parties in the above-captioned case on the same issue. See Motion at
13
11-12; Brief in Opposition to Motion dated Feb. 18, 2016, at 10-13; Reply Brief in Further Support of
14
Motion dated Mar. 10, 2016, at 5-6; Transcript at 8, 16-19, 27, 63-64, 72, 101-03.
Plaintiffs seek leave to provide this decision as supplemental authority for the Court’s
15
16
consideration when deciding the Motion.

On December 23, 2014, the Campbell Court denied in part and granted in part Facebook’s motion to
dismiss but did not address at that time whether the subject URLs contained “contents” within the
meaning of the statues. See Order dated Dec. 23, 2014 [Campbell ECF No. 43].
