LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is being issued by Khorrami Pollard & Abir LLP regarding the New Motion Inc. class action lawsuit.

On November 6, 2009, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Coleman Swart entered an Order granting preliminary approval of a proposed nationwide class action settlement that would resolve claims of an estimated 6 million cellular phone users. The action, brought by plaintiff Ladonna Weaver, alleges that New Motion, Inc. violated consumer protection laws by charging consumers' cellular phone bills for monthly subscriptions to various online services or campaigns, without obtaining consumer authorization or consent. New Motion denies these claims.

The proposed Settlement Class includes all persons throughout the United States who, from March 3, 2004 through November 6, 2009, were subscribed to one or more of the following services or campaigns operated by New Motion, Inc.: Bid4Prizes, Altnet, Atzmi, Gatorarcade, IMatchUp.com, Zapsters, Ringtone Channel, Mobile Sidewalk, Ringtone.com, MMP3G.com (MX Focus and MM Trivia), Slimlizard, or Q121Mobile. The Settlement provides class members who submit a claim before February 12, 2010, the right to a refund of up to 3 months of subscription fees (per subscription).
