Court Enters Default vs. T-Mobile for Failing to Answer TCPA Complaint

U.S. District Judge Jose Martinez for Southern Florida in Fort Pierce signed an order Friday (docket 2:23-cv-14024) directing his clerk to enter a default against T-Mobile for failing to answer or otherwise respond to plaintiff Wesley Todd’s Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint by the required deadline. He ordered the clerk to “administratively close” the case for “statistical purposes only.” Todd’s Jan. 31 complaint alleged T-Mobile sent him “repeated text messages” to a cellphone number listed on the national do not call registry since May 18 (see 2302010044).
