![]() OPINION & ORDER re:9 MOTION to Dismiss. filed by Reading International, Inc. Plaintiff Haley Berryman brings this putative class action against Reading International, Inc. ("Reading"), a movie theater chain operator, for violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act ("VPPA"), 18 U.S.C. § 2710. Berryman alleges, inter alia, that Reading disclosed private data about her online viewing consumption to Meta Platforms, Inc. ("Facebook") without her knowledge or consent. She also claims that Reading failed to disclose to her the total cost of its theater tickets, inclusive of ancillary fees, at the outset of the online purchasing process, in violation of§ 25.07(4) of the New York Arts and Cultural Affairs Law ("NYACAL"). Reading moves to dismiss all claims under Federal Rule of Procedure 12(b)(6). It separately argues that the Court should dismiss the NYACAL claim for lack of standing under Rule 12(b)(l). Reading also seeks to strike the Complaint's class allegations under Rule 12(f). For the reasons that follow, the Court denies both motions to dismiss. The Court denies in substantial part the Rule 12(f) motion as premature. As further stated in this order, For the foregoing reasons, the Court denies Reading's motions to dismiss under Rules 12(b)(l) and 12(b)(6), and, except as to the VPPA movie screening class which the Court strikes, denies the Rule 12(f) motion to strike. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close all pending motions. By separate order, the Court will schedule a case management conference. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 1/28/2025) (ar) |

![]() ORDER re:26 Letter, filed by Haley Berryman. It is not clear to the Court whether Reading, in light of Salazar, will continue to take the position that the VPPA claim does not state a claim. The Court thereby directs the parties to make supplemental letter submissions on the motion to dismiss the VPPA claim in light of Salazar. Reading's letter is due November 1, 2024, and shall state whether Reading continues to move to dismiss the VPPA claim, and if so, explain why that motion is compatible with Salazar. In the event that Reading continues to move against the VPPA claim, Berryman's opposition is due November 15, 2024. Any reply is due November 22, 2024. For avoidance of doubt, the parties' letter submissions are not to address Berryman's claim under the New York Arts and Cultural Affairs Law. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 10/18/2024) (tro) |
