October 27, 2005.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles E. Ramos, J.), entered October 18, 2004, which, to the extent appealed from, granted defendants-respondents' motion to dismiss plaintiff's class action claims, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
Todd C. Bank, Kew Gardens, for appellant.
Meister Seelig Fein LLP, New York (Thomas L. Friedman of counsel), for respondents.
Before: Tom, J.P., Mazzarelli, Friedman, Catterson and McGuire, JJ.
Plaintiff in this putative class action seeks statutory damages and injunctive relief for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ( 47 USC § 227). The motion court correctly dismissed the class action allegations and associated claims for class action relief since there is no statutory authorization for class recovery under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ( see CPLR 901 [b]; Rudgayzer Gratt v. Cape Canaveral Tour Travel, Inc., 22 AD3d 148; Ganci v. Cape Canaveral Tour Travel, Inc., 21 AD3d 399; Weber v. Rainbow Software, Inc., 21 AD3d 411; Bonime v. Discount Funding Assoc., Inc., 21 AD3d 393).
