Tampa Court Assigns ex-Judge as Mediator in FTSA Class Action vs. Redbox

Gregory Holder of the Zinober Diana law firm in Tampa was appointed mediator in plaintiff Ruby Gamez’s Florida Telephone Solicitation Act class action against Redbox, said U.S. District Judge Virginia Hernandez Covington for Middle Florida in Tampa, in an order signed Tuesday and docketed Wednesday (docket 8:23-cv-01497). Her order scheduled a mediation conference June 4 at 9 a.m. Holder was a circuit court judge for 26 years in Hillsborough County, Florida, per his Zinober Diana bio. Gamez’s class action alleges Redbox phones consumers to promote its goods and services without having secured their prior express written consent, as the FTSA requires (see 2307060003).
