Parties Reach Settlement in Principle in Swiped Identity Suit vs. AT&T, TS Mobility

The parties in Tyler Franco’s swiped identity lawsuit against AT&T, TS Mobility and five TS Mobility owners and employees (see 2401110040) have reached an agreement in principle “to settle this case amicably and are in the process of memorializing the terms and obtaining signatures to finalize the settlement,” said their notice Thursday (docket 2:24-cv-00174) in U.S. District Court for New Jersey in Newark. The parties “consent to the administrative termination of all deadlines in this proceeding for a 60-day period, pending consummation of the settlement documents,” said the notice. Franco alleged his personally identifiable information was compromised after he bought a phone plan through an AT&T employee working at TS Mobility in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. He also alleged the amount of the bill for the plan sold to him by the AT&T employee “was not what was promised to him at the time of purchase.”
