  • A bipartisan coalition of seven AGs obtained an order from a federal district court holding John Spiller in contempt for allegedly continuing to engage in illegal robocalling in violation of a stipulated order that limited his operations in the telecommunications market.
  • The original complaint, which led to the stipulated order, alleged that Texas-based robocall companies Rising Eagle Capital Group LLC and JSquared Telecom LLC, along with their owners, engaged in unlawful robocall campaigns in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and participating states’ telemarketing laws.
  • The court order grants the AGs’ motion for attorneys’ fees and costs related to their sanctions claim, and modifies the existing stipulated order.
  • We have previously reported on related AG efforts to combat illegal robocalls, including the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force’s issuance of warning letters to nine VoIP providers for allegedly transmitting illegal robocall traffic in violation of federal and state consumer protection laws.
