Executive Summary
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee dismissed pro se plaintiff Shannon Young's lawsuit against Apple Inc. with prejudice, adopting a magistrate judge's recommendation that Young failed to state a claim under the Stored Communications Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, negligence, or conversion. The court also denied Young's motion for a preliminary injunction and his motion for leave to amend, finding amendment would be futile. This is a complete win for Apple, removing a low-stakes individual consumer dispute with no material financial exposure.
