   SUMMARY ORDER

ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgments of said District Courts be and hereby are VACATED and these matters are REMANDED.

Devorah Cruper-Weinmann appeals from the memorandum order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Rakoff, J.), entered June 30, 2014, dismissing her putative class action lawsuit against Paris Baguette America, Inc., d/b/a Paris Baguette, alleging that Paris Baguette violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“FACTA”) by issuing her a receipt with the full expiration date of her credit card printed on it. Yehuda Katz appeals from the opinion and order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Crotty, /.), entered January 30, 2015, dismissing his putative class action lawsuit against Donna Karan International, Inc., The Donna Karan Company, LLC, and The Donna Karan Store, LLC, alleging that defendants violated FACTA by issuing him a receipt listing the first six and final four digits of his credit card number. The appeals were heard in tandem. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, procedural history, and specification of issues for review.

After our Court heard argument in these cases, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, — U.S. —, 136 S.Ct. 1540, 194 L.Ed.2d 635 (2016). Spokeo addressed the issue of what plaintiffs must plead to adequately allege a “concrete injury” for purposes of Article III standing. Id. at 1549 (“Article Ill-standing requires a concrete injury even in the context of a statutory violation.”). All parties submitted briefing on the impact of Spokeo.

Given the change Spokeo effected in the standing doctrine, we remand to allow plaintiffs an opportunity to replead their claims to comport with the pleading standards set forth in Spokeo, and to allow the district courts to address any standing questions in the first instance. See Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.S. 490, 501-02, 95 S.Ct. 2197, 45 L.Ed.2d 343 (1975) (“[I]t is within the trial court’s power to allow or to require the plaintiff to supply, by amendment to the complaint or by affidavits, further particularized allegations of fact deemed supportive of plaintiffs standing. If, after this opportunity, the plaintiffs standing does not adequately appear from all materials of record, the complaint must be dismissed.”).

From whatever final decision the district courts make, the jurisdiction of this Court to consider a subsequent appeal may be invoked by any party by notification to the Clerk of this Court within ten days of the district courts’ decision, in which event the renewed appeal will be assigned to this panel. See United States v. Jacobson, 15 F.3d 19 (2d Cir. 1994).

Accordingly, the orders of the district court hereby are VACATED and these matters are REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this order. The motions by Public Justice, P.C. to file ami-cus curiae briefs in both appeals are denied without prejudice to renewal should the matters return to this Court.
