111460P.pdf   05/21/2013  Michael Nack  v.  Douglas Walburg
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1460
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. District court erred in granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiff's claim that his receipt of one fax advertisement from defendant which did not contain the opt-out language mandated by 47 C.F.R. Sec. 64.1200(a)(3)(iv) violated the Telephone Protection Act as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005; the regulation, as written, requires the opt-out language even if the sender received prior express authorization to send the fax; this plain-language interpretation of the regulation is consistent with the FCC's proffered interpretation of the regulation; at this stage of the matter, the court could not entertain arguments that the unambiguous regulation is contrary to unambiguous statutory language or that the application of the regulation was arbitrary or capricious as such challenges would be precluded by the Hobbs Act.
