Cox Enterprises Set-Top Boxes
Note: In 2009, several of Cox Communication’s premium cable subscribers sued the company for allegedly tying its premium services to its box rentals. The JPML consolidated the cases in the Western District of Oklahoma for pretrial proceedings. The district court denied certification to a nationwide class and the Tenth Circuit affirmed. Thereafter, the plaintiffs filed multiple class actions around the country for isolated geographic regions. As in the original action, the cases were consolidated in the Western District of Oklahoma for pretrial proceedings. A bellweather case for Oklahoma City proceeded to trial in 2015.
