POWER LESS: Court Holds Mojo “Power Dialer” May Be an ATDS in Latest Facebook Setback
Monday, November 29, 2021

Despite the promise of Facebook, the majority rule remains that ATDS complaints alleging the potential use of a predictive or power dialer are likely to survive the pleadings stage.

The latest such ruling involved the popular Mojo Power Dialing platform.

In Macdonald v. Brian Gubernick Pllc, No. CV-20-00138-PHX-SMB, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 216788 (D. Az.  November 8, 2021) the Court permitted an amended complaint to be filed that alleged the Mojo system: “can then generate sequential numbers and store these sequential numbers in a database, to indicate the automatic dialing order for leads.”

That’s a straight Footnote 7 “dialing sequence” allegation folks, and the court bought it finding: “These allegations are sufficient to state a cause of action under the TCPA, even after Duguid.”

Not good.
