Judge Signs Order Extending TRO in FTC v. Meta to Jan. 31

U.S. District Judge Edward Davila for Northern California in San Jose signed a joint stipulation and order Wednesday (docket 5:22-cv-04325) extending by another month the temporary restraining order previously stipulated by the FTC and Meta in the commission’s lawsuit to block Meta’s Within Unlimited buy. The TRO means Meta and Within agree not to consummate or close their proposed transaction until after 11:59 p.m. PST Jan. 31, or until the first business day after Davila rules on the FTC’s request for a preliminary injunction, said the stipulation.
