Just one year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court forever changed the
telemarketing world with its opinion in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid. In
Facebook, the Court settled a years-long disagreement and clarified
how narrow the Telephone Consumer Protection Act's ("TCPA") autodialer
restriction really is. The restriction only applies when dialing
equipment produces the phone numbers to be called using a random or
sequential number generator. Since Facebook, courts have almost
uniformly held that use of a number generator is a feature that is
necessary to meet the definition of a TCPA autodialer. Recently, the
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals became the second appellate court to
uphold that definition in a case captioned Beal v. Outfield Brew
House, LLC.
