  1. Case: Melton v. Meta

    Court: United States District Court, N.D. California

    Procedural: Motion to add YouTube/Google as defendants denied (CMO No. 16) — Melton v. Meta

    Read event record

Court denies Melton's (and fellow bellwether plaintiffs Clevenger's and Craig's) motion for leave to amend to add Google/YouTube as defendants, to preserve the bellwether pool's representativeness (adding them would have raised YouTube-named cases from 2/12 to 5/12 of the pool). Court holds Melton may instead file a separate complaint against Google/YouTube.
