On January 14, 2016, Defendant Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) filed a Motion to Dismiss

Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint (“Motion”) [Dkt. 101]. On April

4

Dkt. 123]. On May 27, 2016, subsequent to oral argument, a Court in this District issued an opinion

5

that bears directly on the Motion. See In re: Anthem, Inc. Data Breach Litig., 15-md-2617-LHK-NC,

order granting in part and denying in part various motions to dismiss (N. D. Cal., May 27, 2016)

(Anthem ECF No. 524) (hereinafter “Anthem II”), slip opinion appended as Exhibit A.

1. Loss of Value of Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”)

9

On February 14, 2016, the Anthem Court granted in part and denied in part two earlier motions

10

to dismiss (“Anthem I”). The Court discussed whether “Loss of Value of PII” is damages for standing

11

purposes. Plaintiffs provided their view of this portion of Anthem I in the brief in opposition to the

12

Motion dated February 18, 2016 (“Opposition Brief”) on page 7. [ECF No. 104-4]. Defendant

13

Facebook responded to plaintiffs’ Anthem I discussion in the reply brief dated March 10, 2016 (“Reply

14

Brief”) on page 5, n.5. [ECF No. 109]. On May 27, 2016, in Anthem II, Judge Koh clarified the

15

meaning of “Loss of Value of PII.” Anthem II, slip op. at 25-27, 44-45, 77.

16

2. Breach of Contract Under California Law

17

Plaintiffs bring a claim for breach of contract. See Second Amended Complaint, Count VI

18

[ECF No. 93]. Plaintiffs provided their view on whether Facebook’s privacy policy is incorporated by

19

reference in the governing contract (the “Statement of Rights and Responsibilities” or “SRR”).

20

Opposition Brief at 31-32. Defendant responded in the Reply at 23. In Anthem II, Judge Koh discusses

21

California law governing the incorporation by reference of a privacy policy into to a contract. Anthem

Plaintiffs seek leave to provide Anthem II as supplemental authority for the Court’s consideration
