In Luster v. Sterling Jewelers, 2015 WL 9255553, at *3 (N.D.Ga., 2015), Judge Duffey stayed a TCPA class action pending the outcome of Spokeo and Campbell-Ewald.
Because it appears that the Supreme Court’s decisions in Spokeo and Campbell-Ewald may be dispositive of this case, a stay of proceedings is warranted. In granting a stay under similar circumstances, the Middle District of Florida explained that, because Spokeo is likely to be dispositive, “[t]here is little advantage to proceeding with discovery and motions practice where the viability of much of the claims is to be shortly ascertained, especially considering that those claims will be the topic of such discovery and motions practice.” Tel. Science Corp. v. Hilton Grand Vacations Co., LLC, No. 6:15-cv-969-Orl-41DAB, 2015 WL 7444409, at *3 (Nov. 20, 2015). The court added that “there is no indication that [Plaintiff] will suffer any prejudice for which a legal remedy would not suffice.” Id. The Court finds that the same factors weigh in favor of a stay in this case. A stay also is warranted (i) to avoid unnecessary expenditures of time and resources, (ii) because a decision on both Supreme Court cases is expected in the next few months, and (iii) because there is a public interest in judicial economy and efficiency.
