Attorneys have reached a settlement agreement worth $8.3 million in a class action lawsuit over unsolicited text messages tied to sweepstakes entries.
The potential class representative, Matthew Gottlieb, filed a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement with CITGO on Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida. If U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg in West Palm Beach approves, the deal would end a lawsuit over alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and Gottlieb will share $8 million with 93,000 cell phone users.
