Core Appealing Summary Judgment Order in AT&T’s Favor to 3rd Circuit

Core Communications is appealing to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals the Oct. 13 order of U.S. District Judge Joshua Wolson for Eastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia granting AT&T summary judgment in its access service charges dispute with the company (see 2310160018), said Core’s Nov. 10 notice of appeal, posted Monday (docket 2:21-cv-02771). Wolson’s order held that Core can’t collect the millions in unpaid switched access service charges it seeks from AT&T, because Core’s tariffs didn’t authorize it to bill for those services in the first place (see 2212280001), making AT&T entitled to summary judgment on all of Core’s claims.
