Disposition notice

Judge Fernando M. Olguin of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California signed an order filed October 19, 2026 (the signature block prints a 2025 date, but the filing header and docket entry confirm 2026) dismissing the action against Rewire News Group. The court found no prejudice to the class and ordered the individual claims dismissed with prejudice and the class claims dismissed without prejudice, without costs. Plaintiff retains the right, upon good cause shown within 60 days of the order, to reopen the action if the settlement is not consummated; failure to reopen or seek an extension by that deadline is deemed consent to dismissal of the class claims without prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
