Plaintiff Settles Her Individual TCPA Claim Against Newsmax

Plaintiff April Roughton and defendant Newsmax have reached a settlement on Roughton’s individual Telephone Consumer Protection Act claim, said her notice of settlement Tuesday (docket 9:23-cv-80969) in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in Fort Pierce. Roughton anticipates filing a dismissal with prejudice for her individual claim within 60 days, and without prejudice “as to any claims of the proposed class,” it said. Roughton alleged Newsmax engages in unsolicited text messaging to promote its goods and services, and that it continues to text-message consumers even after they opt out of those solicitations (see 2306280007).
