14-DAY DEADLINE

On November 4, 2024, Plaintiff Gober Villatoro Guerra (“Plaintiff”) initiated this action 

with the filing of a complaint against Defendant Omni Family Health (“Defendant”) on behalf of 

himself and a putative class of others. (Doc. 1). This is the most recent of numerous similar 

class action suits brought in this Court against Defendant, either filed directly in this Court or 

removed from state court. The following non-exhaustive list includes cases currently identified 

alleging similar allegations on behalf of putative classes against Defendant:

facts and nearly identical causes of action against Defendant. (See identified Omni Actions, 

1

In at least three of these actions – Pace, Mitchell, and Cubit – Plaintiffs have not filed summonses returned 

executed and there is no indication on the docket that Omni has appeared.

Doc. 1). From review of the several complaints, it appears these actions arise from a recent, 

alleged cyberattack resulting in a data breach of sensitive information in the possession and 

custody and/or control of Defendant (the “Data Breach”). (Doc. 1 ¶ 1). The complaints assert 

class action allegations and propose similar class and/or subclass definitions. (See identified 

Omni Actions, Doc. 1).

Based on the Court’s review of the complaints against Defendant and the substantially 

similar facts and nearly identical causes of action alleged therein, Defendant’s counsel will be 

directed to file a Notice of Related Cases in accordance with Local Rule 123(b) in this action, the 

identified Omni Action matters above, and in any other action commenced against Defendant 

arising from the Data Breach that is or will be filed in or removed to this Court (collectively, the 

“Omni Actions”). See E.D. Cal. Local Rule 123(b) (“Counsel who has reason to believe that an 

action on file . . . may be related to another action on file (whether or not dismissed or otherwise 

terminated) shall promptly file in each action and serve on all parties in each action a Notice of 

Related Cases.”).

Further, the Court orders the parties to show cause why the Omni Actions should or 

should not be consolidated pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 42(a). The parties 

will be directed to file a joint status report indicating their position on consolidation.

CONCLUSION AND ORDER

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Counsel for Defendant Omni Family Health is DIRECTED to file within 14 days of 

the entry of this order either (a) a notice of related cases in this action and in the Omni 

Actions in compliance with Local Rule 123, or (b) a report indicating why a notice of 

related cases should not be filed; and

consolidation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
