Judge Signs Dismissal Order vs. Amazon in Case Over Capital One Breach

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin for Northern California in San Francisco granted pro se plaintiff Venton Smith and defendants Amazon and Amazon Web Services’ proposed stipulation that all of Smith’s claims against Amazon be dismissed, said the judge's signed order Monday (docket 3:23-cv-02804). In his June fraud lawsuit against Amazon and more than 20 merchants, banks and credit reporting agencies, Smith claimed his personally identifiable information was exposed in a 2019 Capital One data breach where an Amazon Web Services employee stole data affecting about 106 million customers (see 2306120045). The parties will bear their own legal costs, the order said.
