Gettleman  AUTOMATED HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a  )  Pennsylvania corporation,  ) )  Defendant.  )    MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER    Plaintiff Evelyn Hunter, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, sued  her former employer defendant Automated Health Systems, Inc. in the Circuit Court of Cook  County, Illinois, for violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), 740  ILCS 14/1 et seq., based on defendant having required its employees to scan their fingerprints in  defendant’s biometric time tracking system. Defendant removed the case to this court and, after  plaintiff filed an amended complaint, moved to dismiss arguing that plaintiff’s claims are barred  by the statute of limitations or preempted by the Illinois Workers Compensation Act, 820 ILCS  305/5.  During the court’s review of the parties’ briefs on the motion to dismiss, it became  apparent to the court that there is a serious question as to subject matter jurisdiction, and the  court ordered the parties to submit briefs addressing whether plaintiff has alleged an injury-in-  fact sufficient to establish Article III standing to proceed in federal court. Having reviewed  those briefs, the court concludes that plaintiff has not alleged an injury-in-fact, and remands the  case to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.
