FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PACE Appeal Venue Announced
Indianapolis, IN, July 27, 2015 – On Friday, July 24th, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an Order, which consolidated all pending Petitions for Review of the Federal Communication Commission’s July 10, 2015 Declaratory Ruling (Ruling), including PACE’s, in the District of Columbia Circuit Court.
PACE filed a Petition for Review of the Ruling on July 14, 2015, which expanded the FCC’s interpretations of several key components of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, including what constitutes an autodialer. The TCPA prohibits calls to cell phone using an autodialer without consent. PACE will continue to pursue its appeal of the ruling in the DC Circuit Court.
PACE has retained the law firm of Jones Day. Lead Attorney Shay Dvoretzky, the Jones Day team and Association General Counsel, Michele Shuster and her team will lead the appeal efforts.
