Plaintiff Moves to Relate 14 Cases in Nev. Court Involving MGM's Data Breach

Plaintiff Michelle Righetti moved to relate 14 class actions arising out of MGM Resorts International’s September data breach, said her motion to consolidate Wednesday (docket 2:23-cv-01719) in U.S. District Court for Nevada in Las Vegas. All the cases involve the same defendant, set forth similar or identical proposed classes, raise virtually identical legal and factual issues, and seek the same or substantially similar relief, said the motion, saying consolidation would provide “judicial efficiency and economy of resources.” Righetti sued MGM on Dec. 14, alleging claims for negligence, violations of the California’s Privacy and Customer Records acts and its Unfair Competition Law. The motion includes the 14 class actions plus any additional related cases that may be filed or transferred to the Nevada court, it said.
