    Connor v. First Choice Media LLC, et al.,

    On April 10, 2023, Mr. Jay Connor, a pro seplaintiff, filed a
    Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") lawsuit against First
    Choice Media LLC, et al., in the United States District Court for the
    District of South Carolina. Pro se plaintiffs are individuals who
    choose to represent themselves in TCPA lawsuits instead of hiring an
    attorney.

    The complaint alleges that Plaintiff received "multiple anonymous,
    unsolicited calls" in violation of both the TCPA and the South
    Carolina Telephone Privacy Protection Act ("SCTPPA"). Specifically,
    the complaint alleges that the caller falsely purported to be with the
    National Do Not Call Registry ("DNC") and stated that because
    Plaintiff's number was listed on the DNC, he must consent "to receive
    shipments of covid 19 testing kits." Absent consenting to same, he
    would continue to receive unwanted telemarketing calls. Although
    Plaintiff proceeded to provide consent, he, nonetheless, continued to
    receive calls from Defendants.
