18 Tagalong Actions Are Transferred to Dallas Court in AT&T Data Breach MDL

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred 18 tagalong actions to U.S. District Court for Northern Texas in Dallas in In Re: AT&T Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, said conditional transfer order 1 (CTO-1) (docket 3114) Wednesday. All the actions have been assigned to U.S. District Judge Ada Brown. The order is stayed for seven days to allow any party to file a notice of opposition with the clerk, it said. The 18 cases include five from three California district courts, and four from Northern Illinois, one from Western Missouri and three from Eastern Texas district courts. Also in the CTO are five class actions from U.S. District Court for Northern Georgia, including Unruh et al v. AT&T Mobility, which had sought to have the MDL transferred to the Atlanta court (see 2405210050).
