This ruling removes any remaining procedural roadblocks to the class settlement. Monitor for any appeal of the final approval order (potential timeline: weeks-to-months); absent a successful appeal, the settlement administration will proceed, and the case will close without further liability for Google. No material financial exposure arises from this ruling.

Executive Summary
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California denied motions to intervene from three objectors (Sussman, Focia, Faber) and terminated related filings in the class action against Google LLC concerning alleged passive cellular data transfers on Android devices. The Court had already granted final approval of the class settlement, finding that objectors' interests were adequately protected through objection and opt-out rights. This ruling confirms the settlement is proceeding unimpeded, removing residual procedural risk for Alphabet Inc.
