NetChoice, Bonta Seek Delay in AB-2273 Case Management Conference

NetChoice, which is seeking a preliminary injunction to block California’s age-appropriate social media design law, AB-2273, from taking effect in July 2024 (see 2303130003), agrees with California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) to postpone their April 13 initial case management conference until 30 days after there’s a final decision on NetChoice’s injunction motion, said their joint stipulation Monday (docket 5:22-cv-08861) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Jose. They agree it would be “inefficient” to hold the conference before the injunction motion is resolved and the parties “have exhausted all opportunity for appeal,” it said. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for July 27.
