District court rejects serial TCPA plaintiff’s “call to...
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana dismissed a TCPA class action, rejecting plaintiff's argument that the defendant's "call-to-action" text campaign violates the TCPA. The Court also rejected plaintiff's argument that every text message must include an opt-out instruction. The decision illustrates a trend of courts rigorously scrutinizing TCPA claims, particularly in cases where the plaintiff appears to be a serial plaintiff motivated by a desire to collect windfall damages under the TCPA.
