T-Mobile Class Actions Appear Headed for Transfer, Consolidation

The dozen or more negligence class actions filed against T-Mobile for its customer data breach (see 2302090008) appear headed, as expected, for the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for transfer and consolidation under a single district judge. The U.S. District Court for New Jersey in Newark entered a text-only notice Wednesday (docket 2:23-cv-00367) in Gonzalez v. T-Mobile of a motion having been filed with the JPML to transfer the case to U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Seattle. The notice didn’t say which party made the filing. Like all the recent class actions against T-Mobile, the Gonzalez case is in its infant stages. A summons was issued Jan. 25 and returned executed two days later, the docket report shows.
