Plaintiff Dismisses TCPA Case vs. Hallmark, 4 Months After Reaching Settlement

U.S. District Judge Robert Chatigny for Connecticut in New Haven approved plaintiff James Williams’ voluntarily dismissal with prejudice of his Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint against Hallmark Cards, said the judge’s text-only order Wednesday (docket 3:22-cv-01340). Williams’ notice of dismissal Tuesday came more than four months after he first informed the court that he and Hallmark had reached a settlement in the case (see 2305090051). Williams, a Bridgeport, Connecticut, consumer, alleged Hallmark operates “an aggressive telemarketing campaign where it repeatedly sends text messages” to phone numbers listed on the national do not call registry and “over the messaged party’s objections” (see 2210260054).
