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]. On May 20, 2016, the Court granted permission to submit supplemental briefing related to
5
the Supreme Court decision Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, 136 S. Ct. 1540 (2016) [ECF No. 126].
6
Supplemental Spokeo briefing concluded on June 10, 2016.
7
Earlier today, June 27, 2016, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion which is
8
relevant to the Motion and to the supplemental Spokeo briefing. See generally In re: Nickelodeon
9
Consumer Privacy Litig., No. 15-1441, Opinion of the Court (3d Cir., Jun. 27, 2016) (hereinafter
10
“Nickelodeon”), slip opinion attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Nickelodeon court noted that its earlier
11
decision in In re Google Inc. Cookie Placement Consumer Privacy Litig., 806 F.3d 125 (3d Cir. 2015)
12
(hereinafter “Google Cookie Placement”) addressed many privacy law issues, and “[t]his case
13
addresses still more.” Slip Op. at 7.
14
The Nickelodeon court discussed whether plaintiffs had Article III standing in light of Spokeo
15
and whether Google Cookie Placement’s standing analysis remained good law. See Slip Op. at 20-25.
16
The court’s discussion relates to defendant’s discussion of standing in the Motion, see Motion at 7-10;
17
the plaintiffs discussion in the brief in opposition to the Motion dated February 18, 2016 at 4-9 [ECF
18
No. 104-4]; defendant’s discussion in the reply brief dated March 10, 2016 at 2-5 [ECF No. 109];
19
defendant’s discussion in its opening Spokeo brief dated May 31, 2016 at 5 [ECF No. 128]; plaintiffs’
20
response Spokeo brief dated June 10, 2016 at 5 [ECF No. 132]; and defendant’s response Spokeo brief
21
dated June 10, 2016 at 3 [ECF No. 131].
