PLAINTIFF’S BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF HIS MOTION FOR LEAVE TO

STATEMENT OF ISSUE PRESENTED

1. Whether the Court should grant Plaintiff leave to file his first amended class 

action complaint instanter.

2:15-cv-10750-SFC-APP Doc # 61 Filed 11/13/16 Pg 4 of 11 Pg ID 913

Plaintiff, Mark Wasvary (“Plaintiff”), through his attorneys, pursuant to Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 15 (a) (2), Eastern District of Michigan Local Rule 15.1, and the Court’s 

November 7, 2016 Order (Doc. 60), moves for an order granting him leave to file 

his First Amended Class Action Complaint, instanter, and in support thereof states 

as follows:

Plaintiff filed his Class Action Complaint on March 2, 2015 in the Eastern 

District of Michigan, case no. 15-10750. (Doc. 1). On July 12, 2016, Defendants 

WB Holdings, LLC f/k/a Airtime Trampoline Park Troy, LLC and f/k/a Airtime 

Trampoline & Game Park (“WB Holdings”), Airtime Trampoline LLC d/b/a 

Airtime Trampoline & Game Park and d/b/a Michigan Airtime (“Airtime 

Trampoline”), Michigan Airtime Holdings, LLC d/b/a Airtime Trampoline & 

Game Park and d/b/a Michigan Airtime (“Michigan Airtime”), Michigan Airtime I, 

LLC d/b/a Airtime Trampoline & Game Park and d/b/a Michigan Airtime 

(“Michigan Airtime I”), Michigan Airtime II, LLC d/b/a Airtime Trampoline & 

Game Park and d/b/a Michigan Airtime (“Michigan Airtime II”), and Michigan 

Airtime III, LLC d/b/a Airtime Trampoline & Game Park and d/b/a Michigan 

Airtime (“Michigan Airtime III”) (collectively “Defendants”) filed a “Motion to 

Dismiss” wherein they asked the Court to dismiss the action. (Doc. 51). 

On August 9, 2016, Plaintiff filed a response in opposition to the motion to 

dismiss. (Doc. 55), and Defendants filed a reply brief on September 6, 2016 (Doc. 

2:15-cv-10750-SFC-APP Doc # 61 Filed 11/13/16 Pg 5 of 11 Pg ID 914

57). The motion has now been fully briefed by the parties and is scheduled to be 

heard by this Court on November 17, 2016. On November 7, 2016, the Court 

entered an Order Regarding Pending Motion to Dismiss and Improper Blanket 

Request for Leave to Amend. (Doc. 60). The Court therefore ordered Plaintiff, if 

he wished to amend his complaint, to file a formal motion seeking leave to amend 

its complaint no later than 9:00 a.m. on November 14, 2016. Id. at p. 3. 

About a year after Plaintiff filed it’s initial complaint in this action, the 

United States Supreme Court issued a much anticipated decision in Spokeo, Inc. v. 

Robins, 136 S. Ct. 1540 (2016). The Spokeo decision did not change the law of 

Article III standing and it does not affect Plaintiff’s standing to pursue this action. 

See Imhoff Investment, L.L.C. v. Alfoccino, Inc., 792 F.3d 627 (6th Cir. 2015) 

(addressing concrete and particularized harms as required by Spokeo, Article III 

standing for a single TCPA violation); American Copper & Brass, Inc. v. Lake City 

Indus. Products, Inc., 757 F.3d 540 (6th Cir. 2014) (even one unsolicited fax 

“waste[s] recipients’ time and impede[s] the free flow of commerce”).1

 See also Palm Beach Golf Ctr.-Boca, Inc. v. John G. Sarris, D.D.S., P.A., 781 

F.3d 1245, 1250–1251 (11th Cir. 2015) (same, but two violations; TCPA plaintiff 

“has Article III standing sufficient to satisfy the injury requirement because it has 

suffered a concrete and personalized injury in the form of the occupation of its fax 

machine for the period of time required for the electronic transmission of the data”); 

Ira Holtzman, C.P.A. v. Turza, 728 F.3d 682, 684 (7th Cir. 2013) (granting 

summary judgment to class of plaintiffs in unsolicited fax case); Destination 

Ventures v. F.C.C., 46 F.3d 54, 57 (9th Cir. 1995) (upholding constitutionality of

However, a large number of post-Spokeo decisions across the country, 

including numerous cases decided after Plaintiff filed its response brief, have 

provided parties and the courts with additional guidance regarding the best way to 

plead both this TCPA text message case and other TCPA cases. See Herrick v 

Qless, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-14092, Opinion and Order Denying Defendant’s
