Redbox Not Responding to Discovery Requests in ‘Good Faith,’ Says FTSA Plaintiff

Florida Telephone Solicitation Act plaintiff Ruby Gamez seeks better discovery responses from Redbox, said her motion to compel Thursday (docket 8:23-cv-01497) in U.S. District Court for Middle Florida in Tampa. Gamez alleges that Redbox phones consumers to promote its goods and services “without having secured prior express written consent as required by the FTSA” (see 2307060003). In its discovery responses, Redbox “asserts boilerplate objections, fails to provide substantive answers and responses, refuses to reasonably and naturally interpret the requests” and fails to respond to Gamez’s discovery requests “in good faith,” said the motion. Redbox’s conduct has “imposed unnecessary burden and expense” on Gamez and her counsel, it said. Its conduct also violates four standards as outlined in the Middle District of Florida’s “discovery handbook,” it said.
