A Wisconsin federal judge dismissed claims against Time Warner Cable by one of its former customers on the grounds that the customer lacked Article III standing.
Gubala v. Time Warner Cable, No. 15-1078 (E.D. Wis.
June 17, 2016)
A Wisconsin federal judge dismissed claims against Time Warner
Cable by one of its former customers on the grounds that the
customer lacked Article III standing. Plaintiff had alleged that
Time Warner Cable collected personal information — including
names, addresses and Social Security numbers — from customers
and maintained the information even after those customers canceled
their subscription plans. Applying Spokeo, the district court held
that the complaint failed to allege any concrete injury as a result
of Time Warner's retention of customers' personal
information, as plaintiff had not alleged any misuse of his
personal information. Plaintiff's complaint was dismissed for
lack of standing, as well as on separate grounds for failure to
state a claim. View the decision. (Read our discussion of Spokeo in Consumer Fraud Class
Action Developments.)
