Now this 30th day of March, 2012, upon consideration of the following:

FootNotes


1. Defendants attached, as Exhibit A to their notice, the November 22, 2011 Opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Creative Montessori Learning Centers v. Ashford Gear LLC, 662 F.3d 913 (7th Cir. 2011)(Posner, C.J.). Defendants assert that Creative Montessori is factually similar to this matter and note that plaintiff's counsel was involved in the matter.

While Creative Montessori, supra, involved a class action in which private Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") claims were asserted, the Opinion of the Seventh Circuit addressed an appeal from a district court order certifying the class rather than a challenge to subject matter jurisdiction or the limitations period applicable to private TCPA claims. For that reason, it does not bear on, and is not addressed in, the accompanying Opinion.
