5th Circuit Rejects Petition for Rehearing Dish Complaint

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a petition for hearing en banc filed by Texas lawyer/plaintiff Larry Polsky seeking a rehearing of his consumer complaint against Dish Network. In its order (in Pacer) Wednesday, the three-judge panel said no member of the panel nor judge in active service sought a poll. The 5th Circuit in March upheld a previous U.S. District Court in Houston summary judgment tossing out Polsky's consumer complaint against Dish, calling his claims frivolous (see 1603030026). Polsky didn't comment Thursday.
