Judge Denies as Moot Cognizant's Motion to Dismiss After Plaintiff Files Amended Complaint

U.S. District Judge Thomas Barber for Middle Florida in Tampa denied as moot Cognizant Technology’s motion to dismiss a fraud complaint in light of plaintiff Derek Anderson’s filing of an amended complaint, said his text-only order (docket 8:24-cv-00045) Wednesday in a fraud case involving social media content moderation. Anderson sued Cognizant for fraudulent misrepresentation and seeks actual and compensatory damages including lost pay, medical expenses and lost future earning capacity after he experienced emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life resulting from being exposed to "extremely graphic images" on Facebook while working as a content moderator for Cognizant.
