What is this lawsuit about?
The Plaintiff filed this lawsuit against the Defendant on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated alleging Defendant placed prerecorded telemarketing telephone calls to cellular telephone numbers to individuals who did not give their prior express written consent in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (“TCPA”). Plaintiff asserts Defendant utilized the “ringless voicemail” services of a third-party marketing firm, Infolink Communications Ltd. d/b/a VoiceLogic (“VoiceLogic”).
Defendant denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not made any determination of any wrongdoing by Defendant, or that any law has been violated. Instead, the Plaintiff and Defendant have agreed to a settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the lawsuit.

Why is there a Settlement?
The Plaintiff and Defendant do not agree about the legal claims made in this lawsuit. The lawsuit has not gone to trial, and the Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiff or Defendant. Instead, the Plaintiff and Defendant have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The Class Representative, Defendant, and their lawyers believe the Settlement is best for the Settlement Class because of the benefits available and the risks and uncertainty associated with continuing the lawsuit.

How do I know if I am included in the Settlement?
The Settlement Class includes: Between January 8, 2020 and Final Approval, all persons in the United States who received on their cellular telephone a Ringless Voicemail sent by Defendant using VoiceLogic’s services, or by VoiceLogic at Defendant’s request on Defendant’s behalf.

What does this Settlement provide?
If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you may submit a timely and valid Claim Form to receive a Cash Award for up to $135.
Your Cash Award may be subject to a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) decrease if the amount of Approved Claims exceeds the amount of the net Settlement Fund.
For purposes of calculating the pro rata decrease, the Settlement Administrator must distribute the funds in the Settlement Fund for payment of Administrative Expenses, Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, and Service Awards.

If I do not opt out, can I sue the Defendant for the same thing later?
No. Unless you opt out, you give up any right to sue any of the Released Persons for the legal claims this Settlement resolves and releases, and you will be bound by all the terms of the Settlement, proceedings, orders, and judgments in the lawsuit.

How do I object to the Settlement?
The deadline to object to the Settlement has passed.

What is the difference between objecting and asking to be excluded?
Objecting is simply telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Opting out is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you opt out, you cannot object because you are no longer part of the Settlement.

Do I have a lawyer in the lawsuit?
Yes. The Court has appointed Jeremy Glapion of Glapion Law Firm as Class Counsel to represent you and the Settlement Class for the purposes of this Settlement. You may hire your own lawyer at your own cost if you want someone other than Class Counsel to represent you in this lawsuit.
