On May 16, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded the Ninth Circuit's
ruling that a plaintiff had standing to sue a consumer
reporting agency. The plaintiff filed suit under the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, claiming that the consumer reporting agency
published incorrect information about the plaintiff online. The
Court held that the Ninth Circuit failed to separately analyze
whether the alleged injury was both particularized and
concrete, which is necessary for an analysis of standing under
Article III. The Supreme Court remanded the case, requiring the
Ninth Circuit to individually analyze the requirements of
particularity and concreteness. For more information, please see
