What happened
Judge P. Kevin Castel granted Meta's motion to transfer the Elsevier et al. books-and-journals copyright case from the Southern District of New York to the Northern District of California, where it will likely be related to Kadrey v. Meta and the Chhabria cluster of shadow-library torrenting cases. Meta informed Judge Chhabria of the transfer order on 25 September 2026.
