Item
8.01   Other Events.
As previously disclosed by DISH Network Corporation and DISH DBS Corporation (together, "we" or "us") in our public filings, including most recently in our annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, on March 25, 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Network L.L.C. was sued in a civil action by the United States Attorney General and several states (the "Plaintiffs") in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois (the "District Court"), alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") and the Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR"), as well as analogous state statutes and state consumer protection laws.  The Plaintiffs alleged that DISH Network L.L.C., directly and through certain independent third-party retailers and their affiliates, committed certain telemarketing violations.
On June 5, 2017, the District Court issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and entered Judgment ordering DISH Network L.L.C. to pay an aggregate amount of $280 million to Plaintiffs.  The District Court also issued a Permanent Injunction (the "Injunction") against DISH Network L.L.C. that imposes certain ongoing compliance requirements.
On March 26, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued an opinion largely affirming DISH Network L.L.C.'s liability, but vacating and remanding the $280 million damages award.
Thereafter, DISH Network L.L.C. and the Plaintiffs negotiated a settlement of the remanded damages award, and on December 4, 2020, the District Court entered the parties' stipulated order for monetary judgment in the total amount of $210 million.  Pursuant to the stipulated order for monetary judgment, DISH Network L.L.C. is required to pay the $210 million monetary judgment on or before January 3, 2021.  We had previously accrued for the Judgment, and this $210 million payment will be applied to that accrual.  The Injunction is not affected by the stipulated order for monetary judgment.  DISH Network L.L.C. will dismiss its petition for writ of certiorari, filed on November 23, 2020, requesting that the United States Supreme Court agree to hear a further appeal arising from the Judgment.  This matter is now resolved.
