Executive Summary
A federal magistrate judge in the Northern District of California granted Apple's motion to transfer Meta's subpoena compliance dispute to the District of New Jersey, where the underlying DOJ antitrust case against Apple is pending. The ruling is a procedural venue transfer — it does not resolve any substantive claims against Meta or compel any document production. Meta's objection to the transfer was overruled, but the underlying discovery dispute remains to be decided by the New Jersey court.
