HP Trackpad Fraud Case Reassigned to Northern Calif. District Court Judge

A fraud lawsuit over defective trackpads in HP Omen laptop computers was reassigned (docket 4:23-cv-02114) Wednesday to U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in U.S. District Court for Northern California in Oakland after HP declined Tuesday to defend the class action before a magistrate judge (see 2305240005). Plaintiff Justin Davis alleges the trackpads on HP’s Omen line of laptops are so defective the computers are “rendered completely unusable” unless users buy an external mouse to navigate the screen.
