Plaintiff Won't Pursue Phone Fraud Arbitration Claims vs. Samsung

Plaintiff Tiffany McDougall doesn’t intend to pursue her arbitration claims against Samsung at this time, her counsel wrote U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield for Southern New York in Manhattan in a letter Monday (docket 1:23-cv-00168). Since Schofield’s Oct. 3 order compelling McDougall’s claims against Samsung to arbitration (see 2310040023), “there have been no developments in the case,” said the letter. McDougall bought her Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G smartphone with 128 gigabytes of storage in September 2021. She alleged Samsung misled her because part of the phone’s advertised 128 GB storage space is occupied by its operating system and preinstalled applications, leaving 101.4 GB of memory for users to store applications, photos, videos and music on the device.
