By: Dan Deane
In a report and recommendation issued in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, a Magistrate Judge found that LiveVox, Inc.'s HCI (Human Call Initiator) dialing system is not an autodialer subject to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court grant partial summary judgment dismissing some of the plaintiff's claims against Stellar Recovery, Inc., a debt collector hired by Comcast Corporation to collect on past due bills.
