| JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.source ↗ filed by The Law Office of Anthony Paul Diehl · Judge Benjamin J. Cheeks · No. 3:26-cv-05994 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M ▾TCPA robocall claims show split outcomes: Howard v. RNC and Hulce v. Zipongo were dismissed on technical definitional grounds, while League of Women Voters v. Kramer survived MTD on similar robocall theory. Chase's scale creates large exposure but courts are increasingly strict on 'artificial/prerecorded voice' and 'solicitation' definitions. 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, LLC $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M Key precedent: Howard v. RNC (9th Cir.) - binding circuit precedent narrowing TCPA's prerecorded-voice trigger could gut claims if Chase's calls/texts don't start with such voice. Main risk: Dismissal under Howard v. RNC's narrow reading of 'prerecorded voice' trigger, or Hulce-style finding that calls aren't 'telephone solicitations' This defendant: Chase faces recurring consumer-protection suits (FCRA, privacy, ADA) suggesting systemic compliance gaps but no prior TCPA-specific pattern shown Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $800K–$67.50M Small, mixed comparable set; actual Chase calling practices and consent records unknown; wide range reflects uncertainty in survival and class scope · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | S.D.
