Judge’s Order in Calif. OpenAI Case Is Submitted as Supplemental Authority in SDNY

Microsoft submitted as supplemental authority a March 1 order denying Tremblay v. OpenAI plaintiffs' motion to enjoin OpenAI and Microsoft from defending themselves in the four copyright infringement cases pending in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York (see 2403040018), said Microsoft’s letter Thursday (docket 1:24-cv-00084) to U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein in Manhattan. The order, by U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin for Northern California in San Francisco, said the Tremblay plaintiffs “pointed to no authority allowing the court to enjoin OpenAI from defending against litigation in a second district court case." Microsoft has joined with the plaintiffs in the four New York actions to oppose the Tremblay plaintiffs' motions to dismiss those cases or transfer them to San Francisco.
