Magistrate Judge Named to Address Discovery Issues in Meta Pixel Cases

U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick for Northern California advised Tuesday that Magistrate Judge Virginia DeMarchi in San Jose will address discovery issues raised in the case management statement for three Meta Pixel-related privacy cases. DeMarchi will address ESI protocol, protective order, clawback order and document preservation issues, said the minutes from a Tuesday videoconference. It is anticipated DeMarchi will manage discovery in all the Meta Pixel-related matters in the district, said Orrick, pegging fall 2025 as a “reasonable time for trial."
