9th Circuit Denies Petition for Rehearing in Facebook Robotext Lawsuit

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a petition for rehearing Thursday in a lawsuit (in Pacer) alleging Facebook violated a federal robotexting law. The three-judge panel unanimously rejected the petition in Duguid v. Facebook. The case is a class-action lawsuit led by Noah Duguid, a Montana resident, who in 2014 claimed he repeatedly received unwanted text messages from Facebook.
