JUST FOR FUN: Yes a Guy Just Sued the NFL For an Alleged $100MM in Emotional Distress Because His Favorite Football Player Dropped in the Draft And I Pulled the Complaint…

5 days ago | natlawreview.com | Eric Troutman

A football fan identifying himself as John Doe of Lawrenceville, GA has sued the NFL for $100MM because of Shedeur Sanders’ draft slide. Yes, this is preposterous. But then again its kind of interesting from a legal perspective. The media is covering this story at large yet they have not provided a copy of the Complaint so I figured I would.

BIGLAW LOSES ANOTHER TCPA CERTIFICATION: Court Certifies Rare TCPA Revocation Class Against Money Source And It Its Getting Pretty Clear What’s Happening Here

6 days ago | natlawreview.com | Eric Troutman

Serious question. When is the last time a #biglaw firm defeated a certification effort in a TCPA case? But when was the last time any firm in the AmLaw 200 has done it? I can’t think of one in the last year, but maybe I am forgetting about something. Regardless, it certainly wasn’t yesterday as another #biglaw firm just lost a critical certification motion in the incredibly rare setting for a text string revocation class action. That should literally never happen.

Cyberspace Administration of China Cracks Down on Improper use of Minors’ Images

1 week ago | natlawreview.com | Cory Thomas |Deidre G. Duncan |Eric Troutman |Conor Duffy

Since the beginning of 2025, the Cyberspace Administration Authority (“Authority”) has continued to strengthen the protection of minors on the Internet and clean up illegal and undesirable information that uses the images of minors, as well as removing non-compliant accounts. The Authority has requested that platform operators increase their efforts to identify and combat signs of violations and rigorously examine the content of information involving minors posted on their platform.
RACKETEERING?: High Volume TCPA Plaintiff’s Attorney Survives RICO Challenge on Appeal– But Are Other Lawyers Bringing “Sham” Litigation?

1 week ago | natlawreview.com | Eric Troutman

Yesterday the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ended one of the most interesting stories in the history of TCPAWorld. Back in 2017-2018 TCPA cases weren’t all filed as class actions like they are now. Many were brought as individual suits and many were brought in the context of debt collection. And there was probably no more popular target for these suits than student-debt collector Navient.
STUNNING ROBOCALL SPIKE After Months of Decline Robocalls Spike to New High In April, 2025

1 week ago | natlawreview.com | Eric Troutman

This is not good news. Through the hard work of R.E.A.C.H., and others, robocall volumes dropped continuously through all of 2024. The result–over 2 billion less calls in 2023 than in 2024!While that’s great news, 2025 has seen a massive reversal in the trend. Indeed, robocalls have been up every month this year so far. The worst part? April, 2025 saw the most robocalls since August, 2023!In fact, January-April, 2025 has seen the highest volume of robocalls since the epidemic peaked in 2019. Not good.
FAIR WARNING: GEICO Facing Revised Class Certification Effort in TCPA Suit Over Unwanted Robocalls

1 week ago | natlawreview.com | Eric Troutman

One of the most frustrating parts of defending class litigation is when a court allows a party to re-define their class at the time they seek certification. If you pause to think about that it is absolutely wild. A defendant might litigate a case for 18 months focused on one class definition, go through discovery, complete expert reports and then have the plaintiff completely change course with virtually no warning. Terribly unfair and inconsistent with due process in my view.
IT ENDS!: The Battle to Kill the One-to-One Rule Is Officially Over– But the Fight Over Damage Caused By Errant Ruling May Just Be Starting

2 weeks ago | natlawreview.com | Eric Troutman

Just minutes ago the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued its mandate officially terminating the Hobbs Act challenge to the FCC’s one-to-one TCPA consent rule. This means the case against the TCPA’s one-to-one rule is now officially dead and it will not be back– at least not in the current administration. The truth is, however, much of the damage feared by the one-to-one rule has already been done.
