What changed

The court received a motion for leave to appear in pro hac vice (Filing fee $328, receipt number ACANDC-21835055) filed by Demand Progress Education Fund in the ongoing Google Play Store Antitrust MDL. The motion seeks to permit attorney Katherine Oh to appear, accompanied by a Certificate of Good Standing exhibit. This is a standard procedural filing in existing multi-district litigation.

Parties and counsel in this MDL should continue monitoring the docket for rulings on pending motions and any class certification or summary judgment deadlines. The pro hac vice motion does not require any action from defendants or other parties to the litigation. No immediate compliance obligations arise from this procedural filing.
