In re Google RTB Consumer Privacy Litigation
4:21-cv-02155
| N.D. Cal. | Aug 13, 2024Background
- The dispute arises from an ongoing action in the Northern District of California, where Patrick Calhoun and others filed a class action against Google LLC.
- The case involves the discovery process and document preservation, overseen by a Special Master.
- Plaintiffs filed a response to Google’s objections to the Special Master’s Modified Preservation Plan.
- Google subsequently identified errors in the redacted materials in Plaintiffs’ filing (Dkt. No. 709).
- Google moved to remove the incorrectly filed document and submitted a corrected version as Dkt. 729-2.
- The motion seeks only to remove the erroneous document and does not affect underlying substantive issues in the litigation.
