A California federal court recently joined a North Carolina court in
clarifying that the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA")
contains a narrow definition of "autodialer." Undermining a favorite
argument used by TCPA plaintiffs, the Court in Hufnus v. DoNotPay,
Inc. found that, to qualify as an autodialer, dialing equipment must
use a random or sequential number generator to actually create the
contact list used to place the subject calls or send the subject
texts. Using a TCPA number generator merely to determine dialing
order, the Court explained, does not qualify as using an autodialer.
