On November 6, a proposed consumer class requested that the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Washington preliminarily
approve its proposed $3.99 million settlement with a ride-sharing
company. The class alleges that the company used an automatic
telephone dialing system to send unsolicited commercial texts to
individuals in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
("TCPA"). The settlement class includes all Washington
residents who, between June 1, 2012, and the date of preliminary
approval, received one or more invitational text messages through
the company's "Invite A Friend" program.
