Judge OKs Briefing Schedule in Amended Data Breach Class Action vs. ABA

U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis for Eastern New York in Brooklyn granted the parties’ joint proposed briefing schedule in plaintiff Tiffany Troy’s amended data breach fraud class action against the American Bar Association, said the judge’s signed order Monday (docket 1:23-cv-03053). Troy’s amended complaint is due Sept. 1, and ABA’s answer or motion to dismiss is due Oct. 3, said the order. Troy, a registered ABA member, alleges the association’s failure to secure and safeguard its networks enabled a hacker to gain access to the personally identifiable information of up to 1.4 million members in a March 17 data breach (see 2304240050).
