Plaintiffs in Fraud Dispute vs. CenturyLink Seek Lumen’s Dismissal as a Defendant

Plaintiffs Christopher Rosing, Jarrett Civelli and Jeffrey Haagenson seek the dismissal of Lumen Technologies as a defendant in their fraud complaint against CenturyLink, said their unopposed motion Friday (docket 3:23-cv-01739) in U.S. District Court for Oregon in Portland. The plaintiffs’ class action alleges that CenturyLink reneged on its promises to lock in monthly internet prices for residential Price For Life program subscribers who remained in good standing, maintained service at the same residential address without interruption and didn’t change their CenturyLink service plans (see 2311270013). The motion to dismiss Lumen from the class action “is made for good cause,” said the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have reviewed the jurisdictional arguments about Lumen, and the parties “have agreed to engage in a further exchange of information outside of formal motion practice in the hopes of resolving the dispute” while minimizing the burden on the court, said the motion.
