SAN DIEGO – Two San Diego County individuals allege that a health care facility has continued to call them despite cease and desist notices.
Taneesha Crooks and Anthony Brown filed a complaint individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated on Feb. 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against Rady Children’s Hospital - San Diego alleging violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
