Judge Sets Tuesday Hearing on Kochava’s Motion to Dismiss FTC Suit

U.S. District Judge Lynn Winmill for Idaho in Coeur D’Alene scheduled a virtual hearing Tuesday at 10 a.m. MST on Kochava’s Oct. 28 motion to dismiss the FTC’s Aug. 29 privacy complaint for failure to state a claim, said a text-only docket entry notice Thursday (docket 2:22-cv-00377). The agency seeks a permanent injunction enjoining Kochava from acquiring consumers’ geolocation data and selling it in a format that allows entities to track their movements to and from sensitive locations (see 2212050061). Kochava filed a request for judicial notice last week using unflattering comments toward the agency from FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson on her plans to resign her post to support its motion to dismiss (see 2302160061).
