Chicago Judge Sets Sept. 5 Status Conference in TCPA Class Action vs. Allstate

U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras for Northern Illinois in Chicago scheduled a status conference Sept. 5 at 10:10 a.m. CDT in the July 7 Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action against Allstate, said a docket entry notification Friday (docket 1:23-cv-04385). Four plaintiffs allege Allstate engages and authorizes insurance agents across the country to place telemarketing calls to thousands of consumers to promote its insurance products and services. They allege the calls use prerecorded or artificial voices, and are placed to numbers registered on the national do not call list, all in violation of the TCPA (see 2307100007)
