VPPA Plaintiff Ordered to Respond by Jan. 6 to AMC’s Motion to Dismiss

U.S. District Judge Andrea Wood for Northern Illinois in Chicago ordered plaintiff Daineira Mangum to file a response by Jan. 6 to AMC Networks’ motion to dismiss Mangum’s Video Privacy Protection Act class action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, said a clerk’s minute entry Dec. 7 (docket 1:22-cv-04857). AMC’s reply is due Jan. 27, and discovery in the case is stayed pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss, it said. Mangum alleges AMC knowingly disclosed to Meta personally identifiable information and computer files containing video and their corresponding URLs (see 2212010044). AMC denies any VPPA wrongdoing, and believes no class should be certified.
