Charter Whistleblower’s Opening Brief Due March 29, Says 5th Circuit

The opening brief is due March 29 in the appeal of Darrell Seybold, the former Charter Communications sales manager who claims he was wrongfully terminated after exposing Charter’s allegedly unlawful conduct (see 2302060001), said a 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals briefing notice Friday (docket 23-10104). U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr for Northern Texas in Dallas dismissed Seybold’s claims in a Jan. 3 order for lack of specificity in his allegations. Seybold “knew through his position that Charter was misreporting information in its quarterly and annual reports” by double-counting the number of new "primary service unit" accounts in its enterprise fiber business, alleged his April 1 amended complaint.
