Charter Removal Notice Denies Claims of TCPA, FTSA Wrongdoing

Charter Communications removed to U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in Fort Lauderdale on Friday the putative class action filed Feb. 8 in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court in Broward County in which pro se plaintiff Shlomy Halawani alleges Spectrum violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act. Charter denies Halawani’s “claims of wrongdoing, his requests for relief, and that any class can be certified,” said its notice of removal (docket 0:23-cv-60453). Spectrum “engages in unsolicited robocalling” to market its internet, mobile and television services in violation of the statutes, said Halawani’s complaint. Spectrum’s robocalls have caused Halawani and members of the proposed class harm, including violations of their statutory rights and invasion of their privacy, it said.
