On Wednesday, Judge Thomas Thrash of the Northern District of Georgia issued a 202-page order largely denying the motions to dismiss of General Motors, Verisk, and LexisNexis in a case about GM’s systematic and surreptitious collection of its customers' driving and personal data and sale of that private data to third parties, including data brokers like Verisk and Lexis. The Court ruling allowed plaintiffs’ federal and state wiretap and Stored Communication Act claims to continue, among many others, and denied Verisk and LexisNexis’ attempt to shield themselves from liability by claiming FCRA preempted these claims against them:

"Additional facts interspersed throughout the amended complaint also show that GM was aware of the complications that arise from siphoning consumer data and engaged in the conduct anyways," Judge Thrash wrote. "On these facts alone, the plaintiffs have met their burden within the amended complaint to survive this argument of the GM defendants' motion to dismiss."

TZ partner Sabita J. Soneji, appointed as track lead in this MDL, responded that she and the other co-leads are grateful for the Court’s careful consideration of these legal issues and are eager to move this case forward.

On Thursday, March 5, 2026, Judge Christopher Cooper of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia denied, in its entirety, the United States Government’s Motion to Dismiss a class action lawsuit brought by multiple federal workers concerning the egregious breach of public servants’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and other personal, sensitive information by untrained and unauthorized associates of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. Judge Cooper ruled that the case should move forward and ordered the Government to answer the complaint by early April. The Court methodically rejected the Government’s arguments that the Plaintiffs had not sufficiently alleged that they had standing to bring the lawsuit or suffered any harm. Instead, Judge Cooper ruled that the Plaintiffs sufficiently alleged they suffered actual damages by having to buy identity theft protection services to safeguard against possible fraud.

Judge Cooper noted that the law that the Plaintiffs brought suit under -- the Privacy Act -- was meant to protect the privacy of those identified in information systems maintained by federal agencies, and it guaranteed the defense of information provided to the Government. According to Judge Cooper, "Defendants allegedly robbed plaintiffs of that peace by disclosing the data to DOGE [.]"

As Andrea Gold, Partner at Tycko & Zavareei LLP, notes “We are very pleased with Judge Cooper’s thoughtful and detailed Order, which unmistakably highlights the highly sensitive nature of the wide-ranging personnel data of our country’s hard-working federal employees that was breached by Elon Musk’s minions, and the concomitant harm suffered by our clients and millions like them. We look forward to moving into discovery in this important case.”

Hassan Zavareei, Andrea Gold, Gemma Seidita, and Troy Brown are representing the Plaintiffs and putative class on behalf of Tycko & Zavareei LLP. Link in bio.

Law360 recognized the TZ lawyers as Legal Lions for convincing the Fourth Circuit to reverse the district court’s ruling striking all class allegations in the complaint in the important class action challenging Navy Federal Credit Union’s discriminatory lending practices. The case centers around Navy Federal’s mortgage underwriting system using inputs which act as proxies for race, leading to widespread statistically significant disparities in mortgage approvals, pricing, and processing times. This ruling represents a critical milestone in the fight to root out systemic discrimination in mortgage lending practices.

Relying on publicly reported data, the complaint alleges that Navy Fed approved 77% of White borrowers who applied for a mortgage in 2022 but only approved 48% of applications for the same type of loan from Black home loan applicants. Latinos and Native Americans are also significantly impacted. To put this in perspective, Navy Federal approved a higher percentage of applications from White borrowers making less than $62,000 a year than it did of Black borrowers making $140,000 or more.

We applaud the Fourth Circuit’s decision to allow our clients to pursue justice and extend our appreciation to the entire legal team—Hassan Zavareei, Peter Silva (Tycko & Zavareei), Daniel Schwartz, Adam Levitt (DiCello Levitt), and Ben Crump and Sue-Ann Robinson (Ben Crump Law)—whose tireless advocacy was essential in securing this outcome.
