Action Alleging Violations of Employee Privacy by Starbucks

In Krottner v. Starbucks Corp., No. 09-35823, an action by current or former Starbucks employees whose names, addresses, and social security numbers were stored on a laptop that was stolen from Starbucks claiming violations of Washington law, the court affirmed the dismissal of the complaint where plaintiffs alleged a credible threat of real and immediate harm stemming from the theft of a laptop containing their unencrypted personal data, but their allegations failed to state a claim under Washington law.
