Calif. Judge Denies Stipulation to Continue 'Boilerplate' CIPA Class Action

The court doesn't find good cause to continue the deadlines in a privacy class action, said U.S. District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld in an order (docket 2:23-cv-03463) denying stipulation to continue in U.S. District Court for Central California in Los Angeles. Plaintiff Sylvia Garcia sued JPJ Electronics (see 2305080052), alleging the company violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act when it didn’t disclose that a website chat was being monitored, intercepted or recorded. The parties failed to file a proposed order, Blumenfeld said, noting the case “is not complex” and Garcia “appears to allege essentially the same boilerplate claims” as in numerous other cases filed by counsel Pacific Trial in Newport Beach, California.
