Elfstrom v. Aspen Dental Management

If You Received a Text Message from Aspen Dental, You May Be Entitled to a Payment from a Class Action Settlement.

A court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about whether Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (“ADMI”) sent text messages to people in Florida or with a cellular telephone number that has a Florida area code without prior express written consent of the recipients as set forth by the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, Fla. Stat. § 501.059 (“FTSA”). ADMI denies the allegations and any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right.
The Settlement offers payments to Settlement Class Members who file valid Claims.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read this Notice carefully.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT
SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM	If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you must submit a completed Claim Form to receive a payment. If the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final and effective, and you remain in the Settlement Class, you will receive your payment by check.
EXCLUDE YOURSELF	You may request to be excluded from the Settlement and, if you do, you will receive no benefits from the Settlement.
OBJECT	Write to the Court if you do not like the Settlement.
GO TO A HEARING	Ask to speak in court about the fairness of the Settlement.
DO NOTHING	You will not receive a payment if you fail to timely submit a completed Claim Form, and you will give up your right to bring your own lawsuit against ADMI about the Claims in this case.

These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in this Notice.
The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If it does, and after any appeals are resolved, benefits will be distributed to those who submit qualifying Claim Forms. Please be patient.
