Clerk Enters Default vs. Northwell for Failing to Answer TCPA Class Action

A clerk’s entry of default was entered Monday in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in West Palm Beach against Northwell Health Labs and its three co-defendants for failing to file a responsive pleading by the Nov. 17 deadline to Kawa Orthodontics’ Oct. 26 Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action. The Northwell defendants were properly served Oct. 27, said Kawa’s motion for the entry of default (docket 9:23-cv-81424). Kawa filed its TCPA lawsuit to challenge the practice of the four Northwell subsidiaries of sending unsolicited fax advertisements promoting their lab services to unhappy recipients (see 2310270005).
