UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

PAUL M. STELMACHERS, individually 

and on behalf of a class of similarly-situated 

persons,

Plaintiff,

v.

VERIFONE SYSTEMS, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 5:14-cv-04912-EJD 

ORDER RE: MOTION TO DISMISS

Re: Dkt. No. 36

In Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, 136 S. Ct. 1540 (2016), the United States Supreme Court 

recently clarified that a plaintiff must clearly allege facts in the complaint that satisfy each element 

of Article III standing, including facts establishing that the plaintiff suffered a “concrete” injury. 

Because the court believes that Spokeo may have some application to Plaintiff Paul M. 

Stelmachers’ (“Plaintiff”) amended complaint, the court orders as follows:

1. On or before 4:00 p.m. on June 17, 2016, the parties shall each file a supplemental 

brief addressing whether and, if so, how the Court’s opinion in Spokeo applies to the factual 

allegations contained in Plaintiff’s amended complaint. Each supplemental brief shall not exceed 

five pages in length. No responsive briefs will be permitted, and none should be filed.

2. The hearing on the motion to dismiss scheduled June 9, 2016, is VACATED and 

will be reset, if necessary, upon receipt of the supplemental briefs ordered herein. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 3, 2016
