Executive Summary

A federal district court granted plaintiffs' motion to appoint interim co-lead class counsel in a consolidated class action alleging Google's real-time bidding practices violate the Bulk Sensitive Data Rule. This is a routine procedural step that formalizes the litigation structure but does not address the merits, liability, or damages. The case remains in early stages with a consolidated complaint due within 30 days and no material financial exposure quantified in the order.
