Cochrane
Janelle Cochrane v. People Data Labs, Inc.
Trial Court Opinion
discussion, Cochrane does not address controlling recent Ninth Circuit authority on this issue that postdates the district court cases relied upon in her brief. See Popa v. Microsoft Corp., 153 F.4th 784, 791–95 (9th Cir. 2025). Nor does Cochrane discuss older district court cases that adopted the approach now required by the Ninth Circuit in Popa. See, e.g., I.C. v. Zynga, Inc., 600 F. Supp. 3d 1034, 1048–55 (N.D. Cal. 2022).
1 All citations to page numbers refer to ECF pagination. Both parties are ORDERED to simultaneously file written responses of no more than five pages, by January 30, 2026, regarding whether Cochrane has Article III standing and whether this case should be remanded. The motion to dismiss hearing set for January 20, 2026, is VACATED and will be reset, if necessary, after receiving the responses to this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
