| Court Type: | Federal District |
| Court: | Middle District of Florida (M.D. Fla.) |
| Judge: | Federal District Judge: Paul G. Byron |
| Issues: | Defendant filed a first amended motion to dismiss challenging violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the Stored Communications Act (SCA). |
| Resolution: | The Court denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss. At the Rule 12(b)(6) stage, Plaintiff’s allegations under the CFAA and SCA were enough to demonstrate that the claim was plausible on its face. With respect to the CFAA, Defendant could not demonstrate that Plaintiff did not suffer in excess of $5000 in loss, that the computer was not a protected computer, or that she did not gain unauthorized access or exceed access. Further, under the SCA, Defendant could not demonstrate the material was readily accessible to the public, that Plaintiff did not sufficiently allege a “facility,” or that she did not gain unauthorized access or exceed access. |
