End of the Line: Winston Wins Unanimous Supreme Court Victory Against NJ Transit
In a unanimous decision authored by Justice Sotomayor, the U.S. Supreme Court held that NJ Transit is not an arm of the State of New Jersey and therefore is not entitled to sovereign immunity. The ruling means that plaintiffs injured by NJ Transit outside of New Jersey—such as in Pennsylvania and New York—may pursue claims in the courts of the states where their injuries occurred. The court adopted Winston’s position that state-created corporations that are formally liable for their own judgments are not arms of the state, reversing the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s dismissal of Cedric Galette’s negligence suit while affirming the New York Court of Appeals’ decision allowing Jeffrey Colt’s case to proceed.

Winston & Strawn's Amelia Garza-Mattia, senior associate in the firm's Global Privacy & Data Security Practice, was quoted in a Law360 article discussing what to expect in oral arguments for the Salazar v. Paramount Global U.S. Supreme Court case. The case asks the justices to consider what criteria consumers need to meet in order to sue under the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a law enacted in 1988 that prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of certain personal information belonging to “consumers” that rent, purchase, or subscribe to “goods and services from a video tape service provider,” and whether that statute applies to a consumer who doesn’t directly subscribe to audiovisual goods or services.
