• On December 21, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit granted the State of Indiana’s motion for a stay of a district court’s September 2011 order enjoining the enforcement of its Automated Dialing Machine Statute that prohibits out-of-state robocalls. In its motion, Indiana argued that the “injunction at issue interferes with the residential privacy rights of all Hoosiers, who have come to expect freedom from the harassment of telephonic solicitations and automated messages.” The state also argued that the law properly balances political advocacy interests with personal privacy interests: political campaigns may call households, even those on the no-call list, as long as they do not use autodialers. The stay of the district court’s injunction will last until the Seventh Circuit resolves the appeal, which may not be before the state’s primary election on May 8, 2012. Patriotic Veterans, Inc. v. State of Indiana, No. 11-3265 (7th Cir.).
