Judge OKs Stay for Milliman Response Until JPML Ruling on Transfers in MOVEit MDL

U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge David Christel granted Milliman Solutions’ motion to stay its response to a class action arising from the May MOVEit data breach until 45 days after a final determination for transfer of actions for centralized pretrial proceedings pending before the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation in MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litigation (docket 3083), said his Tuesday order (docket 2:23-cv-01206) in U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Seattle. Plaintiff David Hale’s August complaint (see 2308280020) was one of four filed by attorney Craig Mariam of Gordon Rees against Milliman, a provider of insurance products to TruStage Financial Group, among others. The class actions allege Milliman violated its privacy policy that says it has security policies in place intended to ensure the security and integrity of all customers' personal data. Those four actions don’t name MOVEit software provider Progress Software as a defendant.
