VPPA Plaintiff Dismisses Claims vs. Nexstar Without Prejudice

Plaintiff Zachary Rohlfs voluntarily dismissed without prejudice his Video Privacy Protection Act complaint against Nexstar Media, said his notice Monday (docket 1:23-cv-01050) in U.S. District Court for Central Illinois in Peoria. U.S. Magistrate Judge Eric Long, in a text-only order Tuesday, gave Nexstar 14 days to respond. Rohlfs’ dismissal notice came a week after Nexstar moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a plausible claim (see 2304220001). His Feb. 9 class action alleged Nexstar knowingly disclosed to Facebook data containing subscribers’ personal identifiable information and digital files of videos viewed on its WGNTV.com website.
