`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`
`NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
`SAN JOSE DIVISION
`
`REVEAL CHAT HOLDCO LLC, et al.,
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`v.
`
`FACEBOOK, INC.,
`
`Case No. 20-cv-00363-BLF
`
`
`ORDER DETERMINING THAT CASES
`ARE NOT RELATED
`
`[Re: ECF 85, 87, 98, 99]
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`Defendant Facebook, Inc., has filed several administrative motions asking this court to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`relate later-filed cases to the present case, Reveal Chat Holdco LLC v. Facebook, Inc., No. 20-cv-
`
`00363-BLF. See ECF 85, 87, and 99. Those cases are: Klein et al. v. Facebook, Inc., No. 5:20-cv-
`
`08570-LHK; Sherman v. Facebook, Inc., No. 3:20-cv-08721-LB; Kupcho v. Facebook, Inc., No.
`
`4:20-cv-08815-JSW; Dames v. Facebook, Inc., No. 3:20-cv-08817-TSH; and Steinberg v.
`
`Facebook, Inc., No. 3:20-cv-09130- SK. Additionally, Plaintiff Reveal Chat Holdco LLC filed a
`
`motion to relate Affilious, Inc., et al. v. Facebook, Inc., No. 3:20-cv-9217-EMC to the present case
`
`as well. ECF 98. The Court has reviewed all the cases and finds the proposed classes and market
`
`definitions differ significantly from the present case such that relation is not appropriate. The
`
`Court’s decision does not comment on whether some of the higher-numbered cases would
`
`properly relate to each other while not relating to the present case.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
