Where this case stands

In litigation

The case has been filed and is being fought in court. There is no settlement, no claim form and no payout yet; many class actions are dismissed or never certified.

Pending in the District Court, W.D. Washington (No. 2:24-cv-01593).

    Case filed

What happened

This docket entry indicates that Janet Sihler filed a petition to compel compliance with a subpoena, apparently directed to Microsoft. The filing appears to be an ancillary proceeding related to a putative class action, but the caption and docket text do not provide the underlying substantive allegations. These are allegations in a newly filed case and have not been proven.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
