Walker v. Coffey—civil—affirmance—Restrepo

Appellant Carol Lee Walker brought suit against a
prosecutor and special agent from the Pennsylvania Office of
the Attorney General (OAG) alleging they violated provisions
of the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701 et seq.
(SCA), by inducing her employer, Pennsylvania State
University (Penn State or University), to disclose her work
emails with a facially invalid subpoena. Because the
Appellees’ actions, although improper, did not violate the
SCA, we will affirm the dismissal of Walker’s claims.

Joining Restrepo were Chagares and Jordan. Arguing counsel were Geoffrey Richard Johnson of Stevens & Lee for the appellant and Claudio Tesoro of the Pa. Attorney General’s office for the appellees.
