  Commitments and Contingencies
 
In
February 2018,
Dr. James L. Orrington II filed a putative civil class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, alleging that we sent unsolicited advertisements to telephone facsimile machines.  The complaint includes counts alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, Conversion, Nuisance, and Trespass to Chattels.
 
The plaintiff seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees.  Additionally, in
June 2018,
Rowan Family Dentistry, Inc. filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado making substantially the same claims as Dr. James L. Orrington II and seeking substantially the same relief. In
January 2019,
we received preliminary court approval of a class action settlement with Dr. James L. Orrington II and the class in the amount of
$3,300,
and we received final approval on
May 28, 2019.
As a result of the settlement of the matter with Dr. James L. Orrington, Rowan Family Dentistry has dismissed their case against us. We have recorded the final settlement amount on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and a corresponding liability is included as legal liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets
