Judge Blumenfeld dismissed several defendants from a lawsuit filed by Bandy, concluding that they lacked standing or personal jurisdiction. The Move subsidiary defendants were found insufficiently connected to the plaintiffs' injuries, while News Corp. and NAR failed the Ninth Circuit's jurisdictional test, as their relationship with Move did not warrant California's jurisdiction. Although Bandy argued that a civil conspiracy justified jurisdiction, the court rejected this theory due to a lack of supporting authority. Bandy's appeal will proceed, allowing the original suit to continue against the remaining defendants.
Judge Blumenfeld dismissed the Move subsidiary defendants for lack of standing, while News Corp. and NAR were dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction.
Judge Blumenfeld noted the plaintiffs only refer to these defendants in the introductory portion of the FAC, lacking sufficient allegations connecting their injuries to conduct by the subsidiary defendants.
