STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO RELATE CASES
First Filed Case No. C 13-05996 PJH; Related Case No. C 14-00307 PSG

1

WHEREAS, on December 30, 2013, plaintiffs Matthew Campbell and Michael Hurley

2

initiated this putative class action against Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”), alleging violations of federal

3

and state law in connection with the purported scanning of URLs in private messages between

4

Facebook users (the “Campbell Action”);

5

WHEREAS, on January 21, 2014, plaintiff David Shadpour filed a separate putative class

6

action in this District against Facebook predicated on substantially similar facts and substantive

7

allegations, and asserting the same state law claims as the Campbell Complaint, captioned Shadpour

8

v. Facebook, Inc., Case No. 5:14-00307-PSG (the “Shadpour Action”); and

9

WHEREAS, the undersigned parties agree that the Campbell Action and Shadpour Action are

10

related pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(a) because “(1) [t]he actions concern substantially the same

11

parties, property, transaction, or event; and (2) [i]t appears likely that there will be an unduly

12

burdensome duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before

13

different Judges.”

14

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Civil Local Rules 3-12 and 7-12, and subject to the

15

approval of the Court, the parties hereby stipulate that the Campbell Action and Shadpour Action are

16

related and request that the Court enter an order reassigning the second-filed Shadpour Action to the

17

Honorable Phyllis J. Hamilton, who is overseeing the first-filed Campbell Action.

18

Respectfully submitted,
