Commitments and
Contingencies
 
In
February 2018,
Dr. James L. Orrington II filed a purported 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 purported 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. During the
nine
months ended
December 31, 2018,
we recorded an expense of
$3,300
as an estimate of our potential loss associated with the matter. The expense is recorded as estimated legal settlement on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and a corresponding liability is included as estimated legal liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In
January 2019,
we received preliminary court approval of a class action settlement with Dr. James L. Orrington II in the amount of
$3,300
.
We will continue to vigorously defend the aforementioned cases and while we believe that the liability recorded as of
December 31, 2018
approximates the amount that we will ultimately pay, it is possible that we will be subject to liabilities greater or less than the current amount accrued.
