Folks, at the risk of tempering the excitement, you should know that this is a brand new case, which was only filed on August 7, '14. Ms. Opper's attorney, James C. Shaw is a plaintiff's attorney at Shepherd, Finkelman, et al, a law firm with offices in NJ and WI, which specializes in bringing and litigating class action lawsuits. However, this case has not been given class action status and perhaps it never will.

Mr. Shah has already demanded a jury trial, and refused to permit the case to be heard before a magistrate judge, which would be the norm for adjudicating an action of this nature. Going before a magistrate generally means lower costs for the plaintiff and a speedier trial process.

Finally, DL has only been recently served, and will be given ample time to file an answer.

Clearly James Shah's interests extend far beyond those of Ms. Opper.
