J. Kenney agrees in part with the lower court's decision that Cricket and AT&T violated consumer protection laws when they sold CDMA-only phones to customers that they knew would not work after a merger. Cricket sold at least 50,000 cell phones that only used the CDMA network after announcing its merger with AT&T. However, it planned to decommission the network upon merging, and neither company told the phone customers. An investigation by the state's Office of the Attorney General revealed the companies to have sold the phones deceptively. While they argue on appeal that the suit is time-barred under a judicial proceedings rule, this is incorrect because the rule does not apply to administrative proceedings, under which this case falls.
