I. Central District of California Dismisses TCPA Claim Because of Emergency Purpose Exception

The United States District Court for the Central District of California granted Defendant Monarch Healthcare, A Medical Group, Inc.'s motion to dismiss. 

Plaintiff Liseth Aguirre alleged she received phone calls from Defendant that were intended to reach someone else. Plaintiff alleged that Defendant used artificial or pre-recorded voices when placing the calls, asserting a claim under 47 U.S.C. § 227(b). Defendant moved to dismiss on the grounds that the phone calls were placed for emergency purposes and not subject to the TCPA. As part of this argument, Defendant averred that the calls were not intended for Plaintiff.

The FTC continues to consider how to combat scams and is seeking public comment on whether online platforms should help stop scammers who use those platforms to impersonate third parties by, for example, requiring the removal of confirmed impersonation scam ads.
