Theodore H. Frank, Petitioners v. Paloma Gaos

Summary

The Court vacated the Ninth Circuit’s judgment and remanded the case for the lower courts to determine whether the named plaintiffs have Article III standing under the Stored Communications Act in light of Spokeo. The per curiam opinion held that the standing issue was unresolved and must be addressed before any assessment of the cy pres settlement’s fairness. Justice Thomas filed a dissent arguing that standing was established and that the settlement should be reversed.
