McAfee OKs Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction in ‘Cybersquatting’ Case

McAfee consented to have plaintiff James Linlor’s trademark case proceed before a magistrate judge, said its signed consent form Thursday (docket 5:23-cv-00385) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Jose. Pro se plaintiff Linlor alleged in a Jan. 26 complaint that McAfee has been “cybersquatting” on his rightfully owned cyberguard.com internet domain name for 15 years, and McAfee’s misconduct blocked him from actively growing his cybersecurity business (see 2301310011). Linlor previously consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction in his case.
