9th Circuit Eyes Fuentes’ Appeal vs. Dish for Oral Argument in May or June

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering plaintiff-appellant Narciso Fuentes’ appeal against Dish Network for oral argument in May or June in San Francisco, said a text-only docket notice Friday (docket 23-15865). Fuentes is seeking to reverse the district court’s denial of his motion to remand the case to California Superior Court where it originated in March 2016. The case arose out of Dish’s alleged failure to provide cancellation rights disclosures and Spanish-language contracts in connection with its satellite television service agreements (see 2306130017). The monolingual Spanish-speaking Fuentes was a Dish customer when his lawsuit was filed, but he ceased being one in August 2017 and hasn’t resubscribed since. That left him lacking constitutional Article III standing to pursue public injunctive relief against Dish in federal court.
