IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLO LICATA, on behalf of himself and

on behalf of all persons similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

 v.

FACEBOOK INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 15-03747 JD

No. C 15-03748 WHA

ORDER REFERRING CASE 

FOR DETERMINATION OF

RELATED STATUS

Plaintiff Carlo Licata originally filed this case in the Circuit Court of Cook County,

Illinois. Defendant Facebook Inc. then removed the case to the United States District Court for

the Northen District of Illinois. It was then transferred to this district along with two other

similar cases. This case appears to be related to an earlier case now pending before Judge James

Donato (Patel v. Facebook, Inc., Case No. 15–CV–03747–JD). In fact, the parties have already

stipulated to consolidate the cases (Dkt. No. 39).

Accordingly, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(c), the undersigned now refers this case

to Judge Donato to consider whether the cases are related.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 31, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP
