- Gutierrez v. Converse, Inc.
Date: January 22, 2025
Summary: The RLC’s brief asks the court to hold that the first clause of CIPA's "wiretapping" provision does not apply to the internet. The brief explains how the plaintiffs' bar has seized on nonprecedential dictum about CIPA's applicability to the internet from a 2022 9th Circuit decision to support an increasing wave of litigation and demands, and describes the importance of a clear holding on this question
Counsel: Sarah Harrington, Chrissy Houle, and Larissa Davis at Covington & Burling
