UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IN RE: FACEBOOK PRIVACY 

LITIGATION Case No. 10-cv-02389-RMW 

ORDER REQUESTING FURTHER 

BRIEFING

At the May 1, 2015 hearing on defendant Facebook’s motion to dismiss, the court 

requested further briefing on the issue of plaintiff Pohl’s standing. The court set the following 

deadlines: Facebook’s opening brief is due by May 6, 2015, plaintiff’s response is due by May 8, 

2015, and Facebook’s reply, should they choose to file one, is due by May 12, 2015. Each party’s 

briefing is limited to five pages in total, and should Facebook elect to file a reply, it is limited to 

five pages of briefing across both its opening brief and reply.

The court would like the parties to address the question of whether a named plaintiff may 

be added to a case to preserve Article III standing, following the dismissal of the original named 

plaintiff who had standing since the inception of the case, or whether the case must be dismissed 

for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 1, 2015

 1 The court has made no determination regarding the standing of Ms. Pohl, and the parties need 

not address this question in their briefing.
