UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL 

on 

MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION 

IN RE: SNOWFLAKE, INC., DATA SECURITY 

BREACH LITIGATION MDL No. 3126 

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE) 

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −7)

On October 4, 2024, the Panel transferred 31 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the District 

of Montana for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407. See 

F.Supp.3d (J.P.M.L. 2024). Since that time, 26 additional action(s) have been transferred to the District

of Montana. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable Brian 

Morris. 

It appears that the action on this conditional transfer order (Jones) involves questions of fact that are common 

to the actions previously transferred to the District of Montana and assigned to Judge Morris. MDL No. 3126 

concerns a cluster of data breaches that allegedly occurred on the Snowflake cloud platform from 

approximately April through June 2024 and impacted multiple Snowflake corporate clients. See id. In 

particular, “the breach of AT&T data on the Snowflake cloud, which was announced in July 2024, allegedly 

involves metadata for calls and texts made by AT&T cellular customers and certain others using the AT&T 

network from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, and, for some customers, records from January 2, 2023.” 

See id. n.6. The Jones action concerns the same alleged data breach.1 

Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, 

the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the District of Montana for 

the reasons stated in the order of October 4, 2024, and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the 

Honorable Brian Morris. 

This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District 

Court for the District of Montana. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be stayed 7 days from the 

entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the Panel within this 7−day period, the 

stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.

 Defendant AT&T previously noticed this action as a potential tag-along action in MDL No. 3114, In re: AT&T Inc. 

Customer Data Security Breach Litigation. MDL No. 3114 concerns an earlier data breach announced by AT&T in March 

2024, which does not appear to be the basis of the claims in Jones. See In re AT&T Inc. Customer Data Sec. Breach Litig., 

___ F. Supp. 3d ___ (J.P.M.L. 2024).
