U.S. District Judge Diane Humetewa in Phoenix denied the motion of Kelli Ward, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, for an injunction quashing the House Jan. 6 Select Committee’s T-Mobile subpoena for Ward’s phone records as part of its investigation into her efforts to thwart certification of the 2020 election. It was Humetewa's second rejection of Ward's injunction request in less than a month, forcing the Arizona GOP chief's appeal to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in late September.

U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken in Manhattan signed an order Sept. 30 (docket 1:21-cv-10432) staying the 2021 class-action complaint against Verizon for a 2020 data breach while compelling two of the three plaintiffs to pursue their claims against the carrier through arbitration.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin in Chicago on Friday denied T-Mobile’s motion to transfer the class action challenging its Sprint buy as anticompetitive to the same Southern District of New York court that cleared the transaction in early 2020. Durkin on Tuesday set a telephone status hearing for Oct. 21 at 9:45 a.m. CDT.
