Judge Orders Discovery Stay in Consolidated Cases vs. AudienceView

U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni for Southern New York in Manhattan ordered a discovery stay in the two consolidated fraud class actions against AudienceView Ticketing and UniversityTickets.com, pending her decision on the defendants’ forthcoming motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ first amended complaint, said her signed order Thursday. The defendants’ motion to dismiss is due Nov. 17, and the plaintiffs’ opposition is due Dec. 15, said the order. Caproni's July 17 order consolidated the two cases, both arising from the defendants’ massive data breach (see 2307260019). The order designated Jadyn Newman v. Audienceview Ticketing (docket 1:23-cv-03764) as the lead case. The other case is Richard Toledo v. AudienceView Ticketing (docket 1:23-cv-05626).
