Whether the TCPA's definition of an 'automatic telephone dialing system' encompasses predictive dialers that automatically dial telephone numbers stored in a list

question presented is whether this definition encompasses predictive dialers, which automatically dial telephone numbers stored in a list and then forward those calls to a human being only if somebody answers the phone. Or, is the definition limited only to systems that utilize a random or sequential number generator to generate arbitrary numbers to be called? The Court recently granted a petition for a writ of certiorari to consider this question in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, No. 19-511, 2020 U.S. Lexis 3559 (July 9, 2020). The second question presented is whether a predictive dialer is removed from i the scope of the ATDS definition simply because it requires a human being, who does not participate in the phone calls, to forward the list of numbers that will be called to the dialer. ii
