| Compass California, Inc.source ↗ filed by Kaufman PA · No. 2:26-cv-11966 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M ▾9th Circuit precedent (Howard v. RNC) narrowly construes the TCPA's prerecorded-voice/text provision, posing a real dismissal risk for C.D. Cal. filings; Hulce v. Zipongo similarly shows courts narrowing 'telephone solicitation' definitions. Conversely, League of Women Voters v. Kramer shows TCPA robocall claims can survive MTD when injury and lack of consent are well-pled. Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, L.L.C. $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M Key precedent: Howard v. RNC (9th Cir.) — binding circuit precedent limiting text-message TCPA claims to those beginning with an artificial/prerecorded voice, directly relevant to C.D. Cal. venue. Main risk: Dismissal under Howard v. RNC's narrow reading of 'prerecorded voice' if the texts/calls don't meet that technical threshold. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $20K–$5M Web signals conflate multiple unrelated 'Compass' entities, making class size highly uncertain; small ruling sample limits statistical confidence. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | C.D.
