April 13 Conference Set in TCPA Complaint vs. Southern Power

U.S. Magistrate Judge Chad Bryan for Middle Alabama in Montgomery signed an order Wednesday scheduling an in-person status conference for April 13 at 2 p.m. CDT at the request of Southern Power, the named defendant in pro se plaintiff Lee Cunningham’s Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint (see 2303220007). Cunningham alleges Southern Power inundated him with debt collection calls, but Southern Power denies involvement. Alabama Power, Cunningham’s utility company, would be the only proper defendant, says Southern Power. Cunningham, at the status conference,“should be prepared to discuss his understanding as to the respective involvement” of Southern Power and Alabama Power “in the underlying conduct that gives rise to his claims,” said Bryan’s order.
