Description:
Albuquerque, New Mexico consumer law lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on Telephone Consuer Protection Act violation theory.
In 2022, Gerald Silver brought a putative class action against the City of Albuquerque alleging that the City violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act the "TCPAâ€), 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq., when it made pre-recorded phone calls 2
inviting its residents to attend virtual town hall meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The City moved to dismiss Silver's claim on two grounds: First, the City argued it was not subject to the TCPA because it was not a qualifying "person†under the statute; and second, the City contended that, even if it was subject to the TCPA, the calls fell under the TCPA's exception for calls made for emergency purposes.The district court granted the motion, and Silver timely appealed.
