Executive Summary

Two routine procedural orders were entered in separate lawsuits against Meta Platforms, Inc. in the Northern District of California. One order sets a briefing schedule for Meta's anticipated motion to dismiss in a pro se plaintiff case, and the other grants pro hac vice admission for plaintiffs' counsel in a separate action. Neither ruling involves any merits determination, damages, or injunctive relief, and both are standard case-management steps with no material financial or operational impact on Meta.
