UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE

April 14, 2025

The Honorable Barbara J. Rothstein

STIPULATED MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE AND EXTEND DEADLINES AND ORDER

Plaintiffs in the above captioned cases and Defendants Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Advertising, LLC stipulate as follows:

  1. On February 7, 2025, Plaintiffs Maria Albano, Terrence Boyd, Clarinda Byrd, Travis Clevinger, Tammie Green, Mayhugh Horne, Melissa Jaramillo, Keith Johnson, David Kaplan, Daniel Kilgo, Cursila Longoria, Luis Ramos, Adrien Rodriguez, Gilberto Romagnolo, Brenda Shaley, Robert Smith, and Robert Taylor filed their complaint against Defendants. . Days later, on February 10, 2025, Plaintiff Cassaundra Maxwell filed her complaint against the same two Defendants raising similar allegations. .
  2. The Albano and Maxwell actions (the “Related Cases”) have both been assigned to The Honorable Barbara J. Rothstein.
  3. On February 11, 2025, Plaintiff Maxwell filed a Notice of Related Cases identifying the Albano action. .
  4. Plaintiffs in the Related Cases have held discussions regarding consolidation.
  5. Consolidation of the Related Cases is appropriate because Plaintiffs agree that the Related Cases are based on the same subject matter, arise from the same nucleus of operative facts, assert similar causes of action, define similar and overlapping classes, allege similar wrongful conduct, and seek similar remedies. Further, similar discovery and class certification issues will be relevant to the Related Cases. As a result, consolidation will conserve judicial resources and reduce the time and cost of trying the cases separately. See, e.g., (ruling that “given the sole defendant and overlapping factual and legal issues, consolidation will promote judicial economy, ensure consistent results, and streamline matters overall”); (“In determining whether consolidation is warranted, courts evaluate the existence of common questions of law or fact and weigh the interests of judicial economy against any delay or prejudice that might result.”). See also (noting district courts’ broad discretion to consolidate actions).
  6. Following consolidation, Plaintiffs’ counsel in the Related Cases intend to file a Consolidated Amended Complaint.
  7. Accordingly, the Parties agree that rather than responding to each Complaint in the Related Cases, Defendants should respond to the Consolidated Amended Complaint, once filed.

As a result, the Parties jointly move the Court for an Order as follows:

  • The above captioned actions shall be consolidated as In re Amazon Ads SDK Litigation, No. 2:25-cv-00252-BJR (W.D. Wash);
  • Plaintiffs shall file a Consolidated Amended Complaint on or before June 30, 2025;
  • Defendants will respond to the Consolidated Amended Complaint within 45 days after the filing of the Consolidated Amended Complaint;
  • If Defendants respond by way of motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs shall file an opposition to the motion to dismiss within 45 days of the motion; Defendants shall have 21 days to file a reply.
