Judge Rules Amended Eavesdropping Suit Against Golden State Warriors Can Proceed

Related Topics: Eavesdropping

A federal judge denied the Golden State Warriors’ motion to dismiss an amended lawsuit alleging that the NBA champions recorded private conversations through their mobile app.

Jeffrey White, a judge for the Northern District of California, originally dismissed the class action complaint, which was filed by New York resident LaTisha Satchell last year, but ruled recently that the revised suit can proceed against the Warriors and beacon-technology company Signal360 for a possible violation of the Wiretap Act.

White did, however, remove YinzCam, the original developer for the app, as a defendant, arguing that it was not a principal actor of the alleged infractions.
