12th Class Action vs. T-Mobile Is Related to 11 Pending Before MDL Panel

A 12th class action arising from the T-Mobile data breach is related to the 11 cases already pending before the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, said a notice filed Thursday (case MDL No. 3073) by Thomas Loeser of Hagens Berman, who represents the six plaintiffs in the action. Bailey v. T-Mobile, filed Feb. 16 in U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Seattle (docket 2:23-cv-00211), “shares common questions of fact and law, and is premised on some of the same core issues as the other actions pending” before the panel, said Loeser. Responses are due Thursday on the Feb. 8 motion from the plaintiffs in the 11 class actions to transfer the cases to the Seattle district court and consolidate them under a single judge (see 2302200001). Pro se plaintiff Stephen Hart of New Castle, Indiana, filed a Feb. 21 motion for an unspecified deadline extension while he tries to retain Keller Rohrback to represent him.
