Judge Orders May 23 Report on Status of Pa. Robocalling Settlement

In light of Monday’s joint status report in which it was disclosed that Pennsylvania reached “a settlement in principle” with five telemarketing robocalling defendants (see 2305090003), the parties have until May 23 to file a “subsequent” joint status report, updating the court on the progress of the settlement agreement, said a text-only order (docket 2:22-cv-1551) from U.S. District Judge Nicholas Ranjan for Western Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh. The parties “are coordinating on finalizing documentation” of the settlement for submission to the court, said Monday’s joint filing. The settlement will resolve all claims the five New York City telemarketing entities inundated Pennsylvania consumers with hundreds of thousands of unwanted robocalls, it said.
