Feb. 16 Case Management Conference Set in BIPA Class Action vs. Google

U.S. District Judge Edward Davila for Northern California in San Jose scheduled a Feb. 16 initial case management conference in the Oct. 21 class action alleging Google violates the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, said a clerk’s text-only notice Friday (docket 5:22-cv-06398). Davila was reassigned the case Thursday after plaintiff Ryan Segal didn't consent to having it heard by U.S. Magistrate Judge Virginia DeMarchi (see 2211040001). Segal’s complaint alleges Google, through Google Assistant, surreptitiously collects, uses and stores voiceprints of each individual who speaks to an enabled device.
