Conn. Plaintiff Settles His TCPA Claims Against Hallmark

Plaintiff James Williams reached a settlement of his Telephone Consumer Protection Act claims against Hallmark Cards, said his settlement notice Monday (docket 3:22-cv-01340) in U.S. District Court for Connecticut in New Haven. Williams anticipates filing voluntary dismissal of his action with prejudice within 60 days, said the notice. In light of the settlement, U.S. District Judge Robert Chatigny entered an electronic order Monday dismissing Hallmark’s Feb. 24 motion to compel Williams’ dispute to arbitration as moot (see 2302270035). Williams, a Bridgeport, Connecticut, consumer, alleged Hallmark operates “an aggressive telemarketing campaign where it repeatedly sends text messages” to phone numbers listed on the national do not call registry and “over the messaged party’s objections” (see 2210260054).
