April 29, 2015 Filing 40 LETTER addressed to Judge Gregory H. Woods from Gregory F. Hurley dated 04/29/2015 re: Motion to Dismiss or Stay and Compel Arbitration. Document filed by Prosper Funding LLC, Prosper Marketplace, Inc..(Hurley, Gregory)
April 22, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 39 ORDER: Defendants move to dismiss or stay this case and to compel arbitration. The Court writes solely to address an evidentiary issue related to Defendants' motion. As an attachment to their motion, Defendants have provided "a true and correct copy of a screen shot of a sample webpage that is substantially similar to what Plaintiff would have seen before he confirmed his acceptance of the Agreement" at issue. Doc. 25, Declaration of Allyson Bryant ("Bryant Decl.") at 9; see also Bryant Decl., Ex. D. This document may not provide a sufficient evidentiary basis for the Court to enforce the parties' purported agreement. The validity and enforceability of an electronic contract of adhesion depends crucially on the design and content of the webpage on which the contract was purportedly executed. See generally Berkson v. Gogo LLC, ---F.Supp.3d---, No. 14-CV-1199, 2015 WL 1600755, at *19-33. Accordingly, to the extent practicable, Defendants are directed to supplement their motion by April 29, 2015 with a true and correct copy of a screen shot of a webpage that is identical to what Plaintiff would have seen before he purportedly confirmed his acceptance of the Agreement. If Defendants are unable to provide such a document, they must file a letter by the same date with a statement to that effect. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 4/22/2015) (spo)
