Margaritaville Parent Ordered to Show Cause Why It Shouldn’t Be Sanctioned

U.S. District Judge Paul Byron for Middle Florida in Orlando ordered Telephone Consumer Protection Act defendant IMCMV Holdings, parent company of Margaritaville restaurants, to show cause within 14 days why it failed to comply with his Feb. 9 procedural order directing counsel to file a certificate of interested persons within two weeks of an appearance in the case. Failure to comply with the show cause order “may result in the imposition of appropriate sanctions without further notice,” said Byron’s signed order Monday (docket 6:23-cv-00223). Plaintiff Racheal Paul alleges she listed her cellphone number on the national do not call registry in April 2014, yet she received two text solicitations Jan. 29 offering a free appetizer if she visited a Margaritaville restaurant (see 2303210003).
