Clearesult Consulting opposes conditional transfer order 24 (CTO-24) as it relates to Dauch v. Clearesult Consulting, said its Dec. 26 notice (docket 3083) before the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation related to the May Progress Software Corp. (PSC) data breach MDL. Dauch’s case was one of three tagalong actions in CTO-24, transferred to U.S. District Court for Massachusetts in Boston and assigned to U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs. In the Sept. 29 breach of contract case in U.S. District Court for Western Texas in Austin (docket 1:23-cv-01182), plaintiff Jason Dauch sued the energy consulting company for failure to properly secure his personally identifiable information (PII) in the late May data breach at Progress Software, one of Clearesult’s IT vendors. Also Tuesday, plaintiff Sophie Jani withdrew her November notice of opposition (see 2311220007) to CTO-17 and a December motion to vacate conditional transfer order with brief in support of the CTO related to Jani v. Patelco Credit Union (docket 3:23-cv-05054), in a notice before the panel. Jani sued Patelco for failing to protect her PII in the PSC MOVEit file transfer software data breach. Jani's case was transferred to U.S. District Court for Massachusetts from U.S. District Court for Northern California as part of conditional transfer order CTO-17 Nov. 27.
