AMERICAN HONDA: Sued in Calif. Federal Court Over Run-Flat Tires
----------------------------------------------------------------
Michelin North America and American Honda Motor Co. Inc. are
facing a class action alleging fraud in relation to the
companies' run-flat tires, an innovation that allows motorists
to continue to drive even after a car's tire has lost some air.

The suit, filed in U.S. district court in Los Angeles on March
6, doesn't dispute that the tires offer a safety advantage, but
says buyers were deceived about replacement costs and repairs.

The tire at the center of the suit is the Michelin Energy LX4
PAX run-flat, as fitted to the 2005-7 U.S. market Honda Odyssey
Touring and available as an option on the 2006-7 Acura RL.

PAX has a supportive internal polyurethane ring that allows for
a more comfortable ride and better fuel economy as there is no
need for the tire's sidewall to be as stiff as in other run-flat
designs.  However, this feature also makes the PAX more
difficult to repair.

The suit is "Jean Carper et al. v. American Honda Motor Co. Inc.
et al., Case No. 2:07-cv-01481-MMM-AJW," filed in U.S. District
Court for the Central District of California under Judge
Margaret M. Morrow with referral to Andrew J. Wistrich.

Representing plaintiffs Jean Carper and Michael Muhlfelder are:

     (1) Mark F. Anderson at Kemnitzer Anderson Barron and
         Ogilvie, 445 Bush Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA
         94108, Phone: 415-861-2265, E-mail: mark@kabolaw.com;

AMERICAN ITALIAN: Mo. Court Certifies Securities Fraud Lawsuit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Ortrie Smith of the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Missouri granted certification to a shareholder
lawsuit charging American Italian Pasta Co. with fraud,
bizjournals.com reports.

The ruling affects those who bought American Italian Pasta stock
on or after Jan. 23, 2002, and who owned shares on Aug. 9, 2005.

Shareholders have filed lawsuits against American Italian since
August 2005 when the firm started reviewing its accounting
practices.
   
The suits accuse the company of improper inventory,
underreporting marketing allowances paid to distributors and
improperly capitalizing costs that should have been listed as
expenses.

American Italian then said it is withdrawing financial results
for the last three years because they contained errors in
accounting for product promotion and overhead costs.

Seven suits were consolidated in December 2005 (Class Action
Reporter, Dec. 21, 2005).  Judge Smith designated three Iron
Workers' Union locals as lead plaintiffs.  The ironworkers'
locals had used Kent T. Perry & Co. LC of Overland Park for
local counsel.  Judge Smith accepted Perry & Co.'s motion to
make the New York law firm of Pomerantz Haudek Block Grossman &
Gross lead counsel.

The suit is "In re American Italian Pasta Co. Securities
Litigation, Case No. 4:05-cv-00725-ODS," filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Missouri, under Judge
Ortrie D. Smith.  Plaintiff firms involved in the case:

AMERICA SERVICE: Seeks Dismissal of Amended Securities Complaint
----------------------------------------------------------------
America Service Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are
seeking the dismissal of an amended complaint filed in a
consolidated securities fraud suit pending against the company
in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

On April 6, 2006, plaintiffs filed the first of four similar
securities class actions in the U.S. District Court for the
Middle District of Tennessee against the company and the
company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer.

Plaintiffs' allegations in these class actions are substantially
identical.  They are brought on behalf of a putative class of
individuals who purchased the company's common stock between
Sept. 24, 2003 and March 16, 2006.

Allegedly, prior to the company's announcement of the Audit
Committee investigation, the company and/or the company's chief
executive officer and chief financial officer violated Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5 by making
false and misleading statements, or concealing information about
the company's business, forecasts and financial performance.

The complaints seek certification as a class action, unspecified
compensatory damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and other
relief.  By order dated Aug. 3, 2006, the district court
consolidated the lawsuits into one consolidated action.  

On Oct. 31, 2006, plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding as
defendants:

      -- Secure Pharmacy Plus, LLC;
      -- Enoch E. Hartman III; and
      -- Grant J. Bryson.

The amended complaint also generally alleges that defendants
made false and misleading statements concerning the company's
business, which caused the company's securities to trade at
inflated prices during the class period.

Plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages in the form of
restitution; compensatory damages, including interest; and
reasonable costs and expenses.

Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on Jan. 19,
and the company expects briefing on the motion to be complete by
May 2007, according to its March 9 Form 10-K Filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
ended Dec. 31, 2006.

The suit is "In Re: American Service Group, Inc., et al., Case
No. 3:06-cv-00323," filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee under Judge William J. Haynes.

Representing plaintiff Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 51 Pension
Fund are:

     (1) Ramzi Abadou at Lerach, Coughlin, Stoia, Geller, Rudman
         & Robbins, LLP, 401 B Street, Suite 1600, San Diego, CA

ANHEUSER-BUSCH: Still Faces Sales Practice Act Violation Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anheuser-Busch Cos., Inc. remains a defendant in several
purported class actions pending in state or federal courts for
selling alcoholic beverages to underage drinkers, according to
company's March 9 Form 10-K Filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

In 2004, the company was served with a complaint brought by two
individuals seeking to bring a class action on behalf of all
California residents who, while they were under 21 years of age,
purchased alcohol beverages manufactured by the company and
another defendant during the last four years.

The suit sought disgorgement of unspecified profits earned by
the company in the past and other unspecified damages and
equitable relief.

By order dated Jan. 28, 2005, the California state court granted
the defendants judgment on the pleadings and dismissed the case
in its entirety.  The plaintiffs in that action have appealed.

Additionally, the company has been served with similar
complaints in putative class actions in Michigan, Ohio,
Wisconsin and West Virginia.

In these suits, which name a large number of other brewers and
distillers, the parents of illegal underage drinkers are suing
to recover the sums that their offspring purportedly spent
illegally buying alcohol from persons or entities other than the
defendants.

The claims asserted against the company vary depending on the
suit, but include negligence, unjust enrichment, violation of
the state's Sales Practice Act or other statutory provisions,
nuisance, fraudulent concealment and civil conspiracy.  The suit
filed in Michigan includes a claim under the Michigan Consumer
Protection Act.  

Each suit seeks money damages, punitive damages and injunctive
and equitable relief, including so-called disgorgement of
profits allegedly attributable to illegal underage drinking.

The company removed the Ohio case to the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Ohio in June 2004, removed the West
Virginia case to U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of West Virginia in May 2005, and removed the Michigan case to
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in July
2005.

It later filed motions to dismiss the Ohio and Wisconsin cases,
and the Ohio federal court and the Wisconsin state court
dismissed the entire cases with prejudice.  A motion to dismiss
is pending in Michigan.

The same law firm in New York and Florida filed similar actions,
but the company was not served in either case, and the
plaintiffs in the Florida suit have voluntarily dismissed their
case.

BANDAG INC: Settles Iowa Shareholder Suit Over Bridgestone Deal
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bandag Inc. has tentatively agreed to settle a potential class
action that had threatened to block the company's $1.05 billion
acquisition by Japan's Bridgestone Corp., Reuters reports.

The retread tires supplier also agreed to pay $610,000 in fees
and expenses to the lawyers for the plaintiffs as part of the
settlement.  The agreement is still subject to court approval.

Bandag was named a defendant in a purported shareholder class
action filed in Muscatine County District Court in Iowa in
relation to its proposed merger with Bridgestone Americas
Holding, Inc. (Class Action Reporter, March 22, 2007).

The suit, "Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 572 Pension Fund v.
Bandag, et al.," was filed on Dec. 8, 2006, seeking class-action
certification on behalf of all of the Bandag shareholders.

The complaint names as defendants:

      -- Bandag,
      -- Martin G. Carver, chairman, president and chief
         executive officer;
      -- Gary E. Dewel;
      -- R. Stephen Newman;
      -- Roy J. Carver, Jr.;
      -- James R. Everline;
      -- Phillip J. Hanrahan; and
      -- Amy P. Hutton.

It alleges, among other things, that in connection with the
proposed business combination transaction with Bridgestone
Americas Holding, the directors breached their fiduciary duties
of due care and good faith by failing to solicit bids from other
potential bidders and failing to maximize shareholder value and
by creating deterrents to third party offers.

Among other things, the complaint seeks class action status, and
a court order enjoining the consummation of the merger and
directing the defendants to take appropriate steps to maximize
shareholder value.

Bandag vigorously denied claims it did not solicit other
potential bids and created deterrents to potential rival offers
in its merger with Grip Acquisition Corp., and then with
Bridgestone, but wanted to avoid delaying or otherwise
imperiling the deal, the report said.

CABOT OIL: Suit by W.Va. Royalty Owners to Go to Trial August
-------------------------------------------------------------
Trial in the West Virginia Royalty Litigation against Cabot Oil
& Gas Corp. is set Aug. 13, 2007.

In December 2001, Cabot Oil was sued by two royalty owners in
West Virginia state court for an unspecified amount of damages.  
The plaintiffs have requested class certification and allege
that the company: failed to pay royalty based upon the wholesale
market value of the gas; had taken improper deductions from the
royalty; and failed to properly inform royalty owners of the
deductions.

The plaintiffs also claimed that they are entitled to a 1/8th
royalty share of the gas sales contract settlement that the
company reached with Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. in 1995
bankruptcy proceedings.

Discovery and pleadings necessary to place the class
certification issue before the state court have been ongoing.
The Court entered an order on June 1, 2005 granting the motion
for class certification.  The parties have negotiated a
modification to the order, which will result in the dismissal of
the claims related to the gas sales contract settlement in
connection with the Columbia Gas Transmission bankruptcy
proceedings and that will limit the claims to those arising on
and after Dec. 17, 1991.

The court postponed the trial date from April 17, 2006, in light
of the case involving an unrelated party pending before the West
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.  The company said it intends
to challenge the class certification order by filing a Petition
for Writ of Prohibition with the West Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals.

The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals issued a decision in
2006 in a case against another producer (the Tawney case) that
raised some of the same issues as are raised in the case.  This
recent decision may negatively impact some of the defenses the
company have raised in the litigation with respect to the issue
of deductibility of post-production expenses under certain
leases, but the company believe that in a significant number of
leases the company have lease language, factual distinctions and
defenses that are not implicated by the ruling.

The Tawney case involves claims concerning the deductibility of
post-production expenses and the failure to properly inform,
issues shared with the case, but also involves additional claims
not raised in the case.

The most significant additional claims are related to sales
under long-term, fixed-price agreements at prices considered
significantly below market value, as well as claims for certain
volume reductions and unmetered production.

The Tawney case went to trial in January 2007, and the jury
returned a verdict against the producer for $130 million in
compensatory damages and $270 million in punitive damages.

Judgment has not yet been entered in the Tawney case, and an
appeal is expected.  The company is closely monitoring
developments in the Tawney case, and it continues to investigate
how this recent ruling may impact the company's defense of the
case.  The case against the company has been re-activated to the
docket and trial is set for Aug. 13, 2007.


CARRIER ACCESS: Reaches $7.4M Settlement in Col. Securities Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Carrier Access Corp. reached an agreement in principle for the
settlement of a securities-related class action filed in June
2005 against the company and certain of its executive officers
and directors upon the company's announcement that it would
restate financial statements.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, Carrier Access would
pay $7.4 million in satisfaction of the claims, all of which
would be funded by proceeds of the company's directors and
officers insurance policy.

The $7.4 million insurance recovery has been reported in prepaid
expenses and other current assets, and the $7.4 million
settlement liability is reported in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities in the company's Form 10-K for the year
ending Dec. 31, 2006, filed March 16, 2007.

While Carrier Access continues to deny any wrongdoing, it
believes the settlement is in the best interest of the company
and its shareholders to avoid the distraction and expense of
continued litigation.

The settlement is subject to court approval.

Beginning on Jun. 2, 2005, three purported shareholder class
actions were filed against the company and certain company
officials.  The cases were:

      -- "Croker v. Carrier Access Corp., et al., Case No.  
         05-cv-1011-LTB,"  

      -- "Chisman v. Carrier Access Corp., et al., Case  
         No. 05-cv-1078-REB," and  

      -- "Sved v. Carrier Access Corp., et al, Case No.  
         05-cv-1280-EWN."

On Jan. 17, 2006, a consolidated amended complaint was filed.
The action is purportedly brought on behalf of those who
purchased the company's publicly traded securities between Oct.
21, 2003 and May 20, 2005.

Plaintiffs alleged that defendants made false and misleading
statements, purported to assert claims for violations of the
federal securities laws, and sought unspecified compensatory
damages and other relief.

The complaint was primarily based upon allegations of wrongdoing
in connection with the company's announcement of the company's
intention to restate previously issued financial statements for
the years ended Dec. 31, 2003 and 2004 and certain interim
periods in each of the years ended Dec. 31, 2003 and 2004.

On Mar. 17, 2006, the company moved to dismiss on numerous
grounds, including:

      -- failure to state a claim;

      -- failure to adequately plead a claim based upon
         purported failure to disclose "saturation" and product
         development delays;

      -- failure to plead specific facts giving rise to a strong  
         inference that defendants knew or were reckless in not  
         knowing that the 2003 and 2004 Annual Reports on Form
         10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q contained
         materially false financial statements; and

      -- failure to plead motive for defendants to commit fraud  
         and failure to plead a violation of Section 20A of the  
         Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. Section 78t-1(a)).

On July 18, 2006, the court denied defendants' motions to
dismiss the consolidated complaint.  

The consolidated suit is "Croker v. Carrier Access Corp, et al.,
Case No. 1:05-cv-01011-LTB," filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Colorado under Judge Lewis T. Babcock.
Representing the plaintiffs are:

CELLCOM ISRAEL: Facing Multiple Litigations by Subscribers
----------------------------------------------------------
Cellcom Israel Ltd. is a defendant in multiple purported class
actions filed by subscribers in various Israeli courts between
2000 and 2007, according to the company's March 12 Form 20-F
Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

                         2000 Litigation

In September 2000, a purported class action was filed against
the company in the District Court of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa by one of
its subscribers in connection with VAT charges in respect of
insurance premiums and the provision of insurance services that
were allegedly not provided in accordance with the law.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount of the
claim is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS402 million
($95,688,382.41).  

In February 2006, the motion for certification as a class action
was denied.  In March 2006, an appeal was filed with the Supreme
Court challenging the dismissal.  

                         2001 Litigation

In May 2001 a purported class action, alleging, inter alia, the
company unlawfully collected Value Added Taxes from its
subscribers who were residents of or while staying at the city
of Eilat in Israel, was denied with the consent of the
plaintiffs.

In August 2001, a purported class action was filed against the
company in the District Court of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa by one of its
subscribers in connection with the company's outgoing call
tariffs on the "Talkman" (pre-paid) plan and the collection of a
distribution fee for "Talkman" calling cards.  

If the claim is certified as a class action, the amount claimed
is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS135 million
($32,153,365.23).  

In June 2004, the motion for certification as a class action was
denied.  In September 2004, this decision was appealed to the
Israeli Supreme Court.

In August 2001, another purported class action was filed against
the company in the District Court of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa by one of
its subscribers in connection with air time tariffs and
subscriber fees that were allegedly collected not in accordance
with the language of the agreement signed by subscribers at the
time of their joining the company's network.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS1.26 billion
($299,661,447.08), plus punitive damages at a rate of not less
than 100% of the amount of the judgment.

In February 2004, the motion for certification as a class action
was denied.  In March 2004, this decision was appealed to the
Israeli Supreme Court.

In January 2006, the Supreme Court approved the plaintiff's
motion to amend his complaint to reflect the amendment to the
Consumer Protection Law and return to the District Court in
order to examine the amendment's effect, if any, on the District
Court ruling, which remains in effect.

In October 2006, a separate motion was accepted allowing the
plaintiff to further revise his complaint as a result of
enactment of the Class Action Claims Law.

                        2002 Litigation

In December 2002, a purported class action was filed against
Pelephone and the company in the District Court of Tel-Aviv-
Jaffa in connection with the company's incoming call tariff to
subscribers of other operators when calling its subscribers
during the period before the regulation of interconnect fees.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS1.6 billion
($380,500,328.09).

                         2003 Litigation

In April 2003, a purported class action was filed against the
company and two other cellular operators, with the District
Court of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa in connection with its incoming SMS
tariff to subscribers of other operators when sending SMS
messages to the company's subscribers during the period before
the regulation of SMS interconnect fees.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS90 million
($21,406,206.23), without specifying the amount claimed from the
company.

In August 2003, a purported class action was filed against the
company in the District Court of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa by one of its
subscribers in connection with the company's method of rounding
the rates of calls, its method of linking rates of calls to the
consumer price index and a certain rate that was approved by the
Ministry of Communications in 1996 was illegally approved.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiff to be NIS150 million
($35,672,026.87).

Following the amendment to the Consumer Protection Law in
December 2005, the plaintiff filed an amended statement of its
claim in March 2006.  No hearing has as yet been held on the
merits of that motion.

                         2006 Litigation
  
In August 2006, a purported class action was filed against the
company and two other cellular operators in the District Court
of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa by one of its subscribers in connection with
sums allegedly unlawfully charged for a segment of a call that
was not actually carried out.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the total amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiffs as exceeding NIS100
million ($23,812,953.41) without specifying the amount claimed
from the company individually.

In November 2006, a purported class action was filed against the
company, two other cellular operators and two landline operators
in the District Court of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa by four plaintiffs
claiming to be subscribers of the three cellular operators, in
connection with sums allegedly unlawfully charged for a segment
of a call that was not actually carried out.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the total amount
claimed from the company, as well as from each of the other
cellular operators, is estimated by the plaintiffs to be
approximately NIS53 million ($12,624,220.48) [the amount claimed
from all five operators is estimated by the plaintiffs to be
approximately NIS159 million ($37,824,219.53)].

In November 2006, the company filed a motion to transfer this
lawsuit to the judge handling the lawsuit filed in August 2006,
mentioned above, and seeking further instructions from this
judge as to the manner in which the two purported class actions
should be heard, on the basis of the similarity of the two
lawsuits.

                         2007 Litigation

In January 2007, a purported class action was filed against the
company, two other cellular operators and two landline operators
in the District Court of Jerusalem by three plaintiffs claiming
to be subscribers of some of the defendants, in connection with
an alleged violation of the defendants' statutory duty to allow
their subscribers to transfer with their number to another
operator, thus, allegedly, causing monetary damage to the
subscribers.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the total amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiffs to be at least NIS10.6
billion ($2,520,969,734.93), without specifying the amount
claimed from the company and subject to increase in as much as
the alleged violation is prolonged.

The amount of damages alleged by the plaintiffs is at least
NIS1000 per subscriber (the plaintiffs are alleging that the
damage for business customers is at least double the amount and
are maintaining the right to increase the claim accordingly),
and the company have been attributed 2.82 million subscribers in
the claim.

In February 2007, a purported class action was filed against the
company, in the District Court of Tel-Aviv, by a plaintiff who
claims to be the company's subscriber, in connection with Value
Added Tax allegedly unlawfully collected from the company's
subscribers who are residents of the city of Eilat in Israel and
alleged misleading conduct and lack of disclosure thereof.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the total amount
claimed is estimated by the plaintiff to be approximately NIS33
million ($7,848,997.04), calculated by multiplying an alleged
damage of NIS6,600 per subscriber by the number of the
subscribers allegedly damaged, estimated by the plaintiff to be
at least 5,000.

In March 2007, a purported class action was filed against the
company and two other cellular operators in the District Court
of Tel-Aviv, by plaintiffs claiming to be subscribers of the
three cellular operators, in connection with sums that were
allegedly overcharged in breach of the cellular operators'
licenses, based on charge units larger than the charge units the
company was allegedly authorized to charge under its licenses
for calls initiated or received by the subscribers while abroad.

If the lawsuit is certified as a class action, the total amount
claimed from the cellular operators is estimated by the
plaintiffs to be approximately NIS449 million ($106,806,745.02),
of which approximately NIS193.5 million ($46,045,436.24) is
attributed to the company.

A vehicle buyer is appealing a decision denying certification of
a suit he filed against Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc.

In June 2004, plaintiff Jeremy Henry filed a lawsuit against the
company in California Superior Court, San Diego County, alleging
improper practices related to the notice given after the
repossession of a vehicle that he purchased.

The plaintiff asked to certify the suit as a class action, but
was denied.  He is now appealing the case before the California

The company reported no development in the matter in its March 9
Form 10-K Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

actions filed against Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois have
been sent.

In August and September 2005, two plaintiffs represented by the
same law firm filed substantially identical lawsuits, each of
which purports to be a class action, and each of which alleges
that the company improperly accessed consumer credit
information.

The company has reached agreements in principle to settle these
cases.  One of the settlements has received final approval from
the court and the other has received preliminary approval.

Notice of the settlements has been sent to the class, according
to the company's March 9 Form 10-K Filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended
Dec. 31, 2006.

The suits are "Cavin v. Bill Jacobs Joliet, L.L.C. et al., Case

CONSUMER PORTFOLIO: Still Faces Consumer Litigation in Ala.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. is still a defendant in a
consumer class action pending in an Alabama bankruptcy court.

On June 2, 2004, Delmar Coleman filed a lawsuit in the Circuit
Court of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, alleging that plaintiff Coleman
was harmed by an alleged failure to refer, in the notice given
after repossession of her vehicle, to the right to purchase the
vehicle by tender of the full amount owed under the retail
installment contract.  Plaintiff seeks damages in an unspecified
amount, on behalf of a purported nationwide class.

The company removed the case to federal bankruptcy court, and
filed a motion for summary judgment as part of its adversary
proceeding against the plaintiff in the bankruptcy court.  The
federal bankruptcy court granted the plaintiff's motion to send
the matter back to Alabama state court.

The company appealed that ruling to the federal district court,
which later ordered the bankruptcy court to decide whether the
plaintiff has standing to pursue her claims, and, if standing is
found, to reconsider its remand decision.

The matter is currently pending before the bankruptcy court,
according to the company's March 9 Form 10-K Filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
ended Dec. 31, 2006.

MONTANA: BHA Appeals Dismissal of HUD in Indian Tribes' Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Five American Indian tribes have filed documents supporting
Blackfeet Housing Authority's appeal against a decision by the
U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss claims by Blackfeet
tribal members against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, The Missoula Independent reports.

In mid-2006, the circuit court reversed a 2002 dismissal of a
civil suit filed against the Blackfeet Housing Authority, but
agreed with the dismissal of a suit against the federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (Class Action
Reporter, July 31, 2006).

                        Case Background

The class action was filed in 2002 by eight Blackfeet tribal
members over allegations that substandard homes built for them
some 30 years ago made residents ill.

Plaintiffs Martin Marceau, Candice LaMott, Julie and Joseph
Rattler Jr., John Edwards Jr., Deana Mountain Chief and Gary and
Mary Grant filed the suit on behalf of owners of 153 Housing and
Urban Development homes that were built with wooden foundations
on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in the late 1970s and early
1980s.

The residents said the unstable foundations caused structural
damage and water leaks, which in some instances have prompted
the explosive growth of mildew and toxic molds.  Wood used for
the foundations was also treated with a highly toxic
preservative, chromated copper arsenate, a substance the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency has since decided should be
removed from commercial sale because of health concerns.

The plaintiffs argue that Housing and Urban Development and
Blackfeet Housing officials built and arranged the mortgaging of
the homes under Housing and Urban Development's Mutual Help
Homeownership Opportunity Program while knowing that the
foundations were inferior and potentially harmful.  

In January 2004, Judge Sam Haddon of U.S. District Court for the
District of Montana ruled that the Housing and Urban Development
couldn't be sued under the various laws that apply to the
housing projects and that the Blackfeet Housing Authority had
"sovereign immunity."  But the appellate court said on July 21,
2006 that the housing authority had forfeited its immunity when
it was first established by the Blackfeet Tribe as a separate
entity in 1977.

The ruling remanded the case against the housing authority to
the Montana district court.

The lawsuit asks for unspecified monetary damages and for the
homes to be repaired or replaced -- an undertaking that was
estimated to cost $30 million in 2004.

                    Review of Ruling Sought

In recent developments, The Confederated Salish and Kootenai
Tribes, Crow Tribe and Fort Peck Tribe in Montana have joined
the Navajo Nation in filing documents supporting a motion to
review the appellate court's ruling.

Attorneys for the tribes say they're concerned the case could
set bad precedent, triggering unintended consequences throughout
Indian country, like setting a pattern of similar court rulings.  

Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes attorney John Harrison,
said the concern is not the Glacier Homes residents' claims, but
rather the larger implications of who's held responsible:
"Obviously there are some wronged tribal members, but our
position is that the remedy isn't against the tribe but against
HUD."

The Blackfeet Housing Authority has also asked the court to
reevaluate whether it must answer residents' claims.  The court
hasn't acted on that request, according to the report.

The suit is "Marceau, et al. v. Blackfeet Housing, et al., Case
No. 4:02-cv-00073-SHE."  Representing the defendants are:

NATIONAL LIFE: Seeks Explanation, Amendment of Final Judgment
-------------------------------------------------------------
National Life Insurance Co. along with Torchmark Corp. sought
clarification, or in the alternative, an amendment of a final
judgment approving a settlement of a consolidated class action
filed against them over cancer policies.  

The companies were parties to purported class action, "Roberts
v. Liberty National Life Insurance Co., Case No. CV-2002-009-B,"
filed in the Circuit Court of Choctaw County, Alabama on behalf
of all persons who currently or in the past were insured under
Liberty cancer policies, which were no longer being marketed,
regardless of whether the policies remained in force or lapsed.  

The case was based on allegations of breach of contract in the
implementation of premium rate increases, misrepresentation
regarding the premium rate increases, fraud and suppression
concerning the closed block of business and unjust enrichment.

On Dec. 30, 2003, the Alabama Supreme Court issued an opinion
granting Liberty's and Torchmark's petition for a writ of
mandamus, concluding that the Choctaw Circuit Court did not have
subject matter jurisdiction and ordering that Circuit Court to
dismiss the action.

Plaintiffs then filed their purported class action, "Roberts v.
Liberty National Life Insurance Co., Civil Action No. CV-03-
0137," against Liberty and Torchmark in the Circuit Court of
Barbour County, Alabama on Dec. 30, 2003.

On April 16, 2004 the parties filed a written Stipulation of
Agreement of Compromise and Settlement with the Barbour County,
Alabama Circuit Court seeking potential settlement of the
Roberts case.  

A fairness hearing on the potential settlement was held by the
Barbour County Circuit Court on July 15, 2004.  After receipt of
briefs on certain issues and submission of materials relating to
objections to the proposed settlement to the court-appointed
independent special master, the court reconvened the previously
continued fairness hearing on Sept. 23, 2004.  

After the Sept. 23, 2004 hearing, the court, after hearing from
the objectors to the potential settlement, ordered the
appointment of an independent actuary to report back to the
court on certain issues.  The report of the independent actuary
was subsequently furnished to the special master and the court
on a timely basis.

On Nov. 22, 2004, the court entered an order and final judgment
in Roberts whereby the court consolidated Roberts with
"Robertson v. Liberty National Life Insurance Co., CV-92-021,"
for purposes of the Roberts stipulation of settlement and
certified the Roberts class as a new subclass of the class
previously certified by that court in Robertson.  

The court approved the stipulation and settlement and ordered
and enjoined Liberty to perform its obligations under the
stipulation.  

Subject to the stipulation, Liberty and Torchmark were
permanently enjoined from:

      -- instituting, engaging or participating in, maintaining,
         authorizing or continuing premium rate increases
         inconsistent with the Stipulation;

      -- failing to implement temporary premium waivers in
         accordance with the Stipulation;

      -- failing to implement the new benefits procedure
         described in the Stipulation; and

      -- failing to implement the special schedules and special
         provisions of the stipulation for subclass members who
         have cancer and are receiving benefits and for subclass
         members who have no other cancer or medical insurance
         and/or are not covered by Medicare.

The court dismissed plaintiffs' claims, released the defendants,
enjoined Roberts subclass members from any further prosecution
of released claims and retained continuing jurisdiction of all
matters relating to the Roberts settlement.  

In an order issued Feb. 1, 2005, the court denied the objectors'
motion to alter, amend or vacate its earlier final judgment on
class settlement and certification.  

The companies proceeded to implement the settlement terms.  On
March 10, 2005, the Roberts plaintiffs filed notice of appeal to
the Alabama Supreme Court.

In an opinion issued on Sept. 29, 2006, the Alabama Supreme
Court voided the Barbour County Circuit Court's final judgment
and dismissed the Roberts appeal.  

The Supreme Court held that the Barbour County Court lacked
subject-matter jurisdiction in Roberts to certify the Roberts
class as a subclass of the Robertson class and to enter a final
judgment approving the settlement since Roberts was filed as an
independent class action collaterally attacking Robertson rather
than being filed in Robertson under the Barbour County Court's
reserved continuing jurisdiction over that case.  

On Oct. 23, 2006, Liberty filed a petition with the Barbour
County Circuit Court under its continuing jurisdiction in
Robertson for clarification, or in the alternative, to amend the
Robertson final judgment.

Liberty seeks an order from the Circuit Court declaring that
Liberty pay benefits to Robertson class members based upon the
amounts accepted by providers in full payment of charges.

A hearing on Liberty's petition was heard on March 13, according
to Torchmark Corp.'s March 1 Form 10-K Filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended
Dec. 31, 2006.

PRISON HEALTH: Still Faces Pa. Suit Over Fees Paid to Physicians
----------------------------------------------------------------
The city of Philadelphia and Prison Health Services, Inc., an
operating subsidiary of America Service Group, Inc., remain
defendants in a purported class action filed by Andrew
Berkowitz, an individual physician independent contractor in
Philadelphia.

The plaintiff filed the suit as a putative class action on or
about Aug. 2, 2006 in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia
County, Trial Division.  The suit is seeking unspecified damages
for the class, but damages in the amount of at least $9,588
individually.

Plaintiff alleges that he provided services to inmates in the
Philadelphia Prison System at the request of the defendants and
that the defendants breached the alleged contractual duties owed
to him by paying an amount alleged to be less than the full
amount plaintiff billed for his medical services.

On Sept. 22, 2006, the City of Philadelphia filed a New Matter
Cross claim against Philadelphia Prison alleging breach of
contract, negligence and seeking indemnification.  

On Sept. 29, 2006, Prison Health filed its answer to plaintiff's
complaint, which answer included a crossclaim against the City
of Philadelphia for contribution and indemnification.

The company reported no development in the matter in its March 9
Form 10-K Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

SABRE HOLDINGS: Enters Settlement for Lawsuits Over Merger
----------------------------------------------------------
Sabre Holdings Corp. entered into memoranda of understanding
with plaintiffs' counsel and other named defendants regarding
the settlement of a purported class action, the McBride case,
and a purported derivative action, the Holowach case, brought on
behalf of Sabre Holdings stockholders.

Under the terms of the memoranda, Sabre Holdings, the other
named defendants and the plaintiffs have agreed to settle both
lawsuits, subject to definitive documentation, any applicable
procedural requirements under Texas law and other conditions,
and the settlements will be presented to the courts in which
each case is pending for approval after the transaction has
closed.

In addition, the settlements will not affect the timing of the
special meeting of stockholders of Sabre Holdings to vote upon
the proposal to adopt the merger agreement by and among Sabre
Holdings and subsidiaries of Silver Lake Partners and Texas
Pacific Group, which is scheduled for March 29, 2007.  The
company anticipates that its stockholders will approve the
acquisition at the special meeting of stockholders and that the
acquisition will close on or about March 30, 2007.

Both the McBride and Holowach cases were filed in the District
Court for the State of Texas in Tarrant County following the
Dec. 12, 2006 announcement of the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

The suits are:

      -- "Jack McBride v. Sabre Holdings Corp., et al., Case No.
         236-221611-06,"and

      -- "Lillian Chait v. Sabre Holdings Corp., et al., Case
         No. 067-221619-06."

Both complaints name as defendants Sabre Holdings and its Board
of Directors.  

The complaints allege that Sabre Holdings' directors breached
their fiduciary duties by adopting the merger agreement and
approving the merger.

They purport to seek declaratory relief, an injunction
preventing completion of the merger, the recovery of unspecified
damages, and plaintiffs' attorneys' fees.

On Jan. 22, 2007, Ms. Chait voluntarily dismissed her complaint.
On Feb. 7, 2007, an amended complaint was filed in the McBride
Action (Class Action Reporter, Mar. 1, 2007).

The amended complaint contains similar allegations to the
original complaint and adds allegations that Sabre Holdings'
directors have not fully and fairly disclosed all material
information relating to the merger.

The settlements will not affect the amount of merger
consideration to be paid to stockholders of Sabre Holdings in
connection with the proposed merger.

STAKTEK HOLDINGS: Tex. Court Dismisses Securities Fraud Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas
dismissed, in its entirety, a securities fraud class action
filed against Staktek Holdings, Inc. and two of its executive
officers.

On Oct. 22, 2004, a class action complaint for violations of
U.S. federal securities laws was filed against the company in
the U.S. District Court in New Mexico.

Plaintiff claims that the defendants failed to disclose to the
public an anticipated shortage of computer memory chips and that
they knew or recklessly disregarded that the anticipated
shortage would have a materially adverse impact on its revenue
and earnings.

In addition, the plaintiff claims that the defendants failed to
disclose to investors that the industry's transition to a new
generation of higher-capacity memory chips was causing computer
makers to stockpile supplies of older memory chips, increasing
the shortage.  The suit covers individuals who purchased the
company's stock between Nov. 26, 2003 and May 19, 2004.

In April 2005, the case was transferred to federal district
court in Austin, Texas, and in June the plaintiff amended her
complaint, adding the company's chairman of the board as a
defendant.

Wayne R. Lieberman, Staktek's president and chief executive,
stated, "We are very pleased that the case has been dismissed.  
This result allows us to focus on creating value for our
stockholders through the introduction of new products and
solutions for existing and future customers."

The suit is "Holzwasser v. Staktek Holdings, Inc., et al., Case
No. 1:05-cv-00239-LY," filed in the U.S. District Court for
Western District of Texas under Judge Lee Yeakel.

Representing the plaintiffs are:

SUNWEST MANAGEMENT: Faces Suit for Alleged Inadequate Services
--------------------------------------------------------------
California lawyer Kathryn Stebner filed a class action in
Multnomah County Circuit Court (Oregon) on behalf of residents
of 50 Oregon nursing homes operated by Salem-based Sunwest
Management, the Albany Democrat-Herald reports.

Named plaintiffs in the suit are Cathleen Naylor, 81, and Gwen
Olmstead, 80, residents of Sunwest-operated Deer Meadow Assisted
Living in Sheridan.

The complaint contends that the homes for seniors charge for
services that the management is not providing.  It claims that
residents' contracts promise care and services of a certain
quality.

The suit states that both women signed contracts for services at
Deer Meadow that were never provided.

Ms. Stebner alleges the contract fails to state that the
facilities and Sunwest Management cannot and don't provide those
services.

The suit also charges the facility is in violation of state laws
governing the operation of residential facilities.

Plaintiffs' lawyer Kathryn Stebner is with Stebner and

TARO PHARMACEUTICAL: Still Faces Consolidated Securities Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. remains a defendant in a
consolidated securities fraud class action pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York, according
to the company's March 20 Form 20-F Filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended
Dec. 31, 2006.

On Aug. 2, 2004, a purported securities class action complaint
was filed against the company and certain of its current and
former officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York.

The complaint alleges that the defendants made statements during
the period Feb. 20, 2003 through July 29, 2004 in press
releases, the company's 2003 Annual Report and during conference
calls with analysts which were materially false and misleading
and which artificially inflated the price of the company's
ordinary shares.

The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Nine additional
purported securities class action complaints were subsequently
filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York, all containing similar allegations.

The actions have been consolidated and lead plaintiffs and lead
counsel have been appointed.  To date, no consolidated amended
complaint has been filed.

Pursuant to the court's scheduling order, plaintiffs have until
15 days after the filing of its restated financial results to
file an amended complaint.

The first identified complaint is "Zwickel v. Taro
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. et al., Case No. 1:04-cv-05969-
RMB," filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York under Judge Richard M. Berman.

TECHNICAL OLYMPIC: Consolidation Motion Hearing Set March 29
------------------------------------------------------------
A March 29 hearing is set for motions seeking to consolidate
several purported class actions filed against Technical Olympic
USA, Inc. (TOUSA), according to the company's March 19 Form 10-K
Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

Beginning in December 2006, various stockholder plaintiffs
brought lawsuits seeking class-action status in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The actions allege that Technical Olympic and certain of its
current and former officers violated the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 by failing to disclose:

      -- certain guaranties entered into by Technical Olympic in
         connection with the Transeastern JV's acquisition of
         Transeastern Properties, Inc. and related potential
         liability;

      -- declining conditions in the housing market in Florida;
         and

      -- that, as a consequence of market declines, Technical
         Olympic could lose value in its investment in the joint
         venture.

One of the complaints also alleges that the defendants violated
the Securities Act of 1933 by omitting material facts about the
financing of the Transeastern Properties acquisition from the
offering materials related to Technical Olympic's September 2005
offering of common stock.

Plaintiffs in each of these actions seek compensatory damages,
plus fees and costs, on behalf of themselves and the putative
class of purchasers of Technical Olympic common stock and
purchasers and sellers of options on Technical Olympic common
stock.

Motions are pending to consolidate each of the actions into the
first-filed case, "Durgin v. Technical Olympic USA, Inc., et
al."

A hearing has been scheduled for March 29, 2007 for the court to
consider motions regarding consolidation of the actions and
appointment of the lead plaintiff and counsel.

The first identified complaint is "George Durgin, et al. v.
Technical Olympic USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 06-CV-61844,"
filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Florida under Judge Kenneth A. Marra.

TRIPLE-S MANAGEMENT: Court Hears Oral Arguments in "Sanchez"
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit has yet to rule on
an appeal against the dismissal of the class action, "Sanchez,
et al. v. Triple-S Management, et al.," according to the
company's March 20 Form 10-K Filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

The purported class action, filed in the U.S. District Court for
the District of Puerto Rico, alleges violations under the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act against:

      -- Triple-S Management Corp.;
      -- certain of its present and former directors;
      -- certain of Triple-S, Inc.'s present and former
         directors and others.

Filed on Sept. 4, 2003 by Jose Sanchez, the suit specifically
alleges, a scheme to defraud the plaintiffs by acquiring control
of Triple-S, Inc. through illegally capitalizing Triple-S and
later converting it to a for-profit corporation and depriving
the stockholders of their ownership rights.

Plaintiffs base their later allegations on the supposed
decisions of Triple-S' board of directors and stockholders,
allegedly made in 1979, to operate with certain restrictions in
order to turn Triple-S into a charitable corporation, basically
forever.

On March 4, 2005 the court issued an Opinion and Order.  In this
opinion and order, of the 12 counts included in the complaint,
eight counts were dismissed for failing to assert an actionable
injury, six of them for lack of standing and two for failing to
plead with sufficient particularity in compliance with the
Rules.

All shareholder allegations were dismissed in the opinion and
order.  The remaining four counts were found standing, in a
limited way, in the opinion and order.  

Parties finished class certification discovery and fully briefed
the issue of class certification.  While waiting for the court's
decision on the issue of class certification, the court, sua
sponte, issued an Order to Show Cause to plaintiffs as to why
the complaint should not be dismissed with prejudice.

The court's Order to Show Cause is predicated on the parties'
submissions about class certification.  The court then granted
plaintiffs leave to file a sur-reply, which they did on April
21, 2006.

In its Order to Show Cause the court indicated that it would
decide first the sustainability of the complaint before deciding
plaintiffs' request for class certification.  

On May 4, 2006, the court issued an Opinion and Order, which
entered a summary judgment in favor of all the defendants, and
dismissing the case.

Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal before the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 1st Circuit.  The Appeals Court notified the
briefing schedule, and plaintiffs filed their brief on Aug. 21,
2006.

Respondent filed theirs on Sept. 30, 2006.  The parties argued
the case before the First Circuit on Feb. 6, who took the case
under advice.  Judgment is expected within the next 90 days.

The suit is "Sanchez, et al.  v. Triple-S Management, et al.,
Case No. 3:03-cv-01967-JAF," filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Puerto Rico under Judge Jose A. Fuste.

TRIPLE-S INC: Fla. Court Dismisses Lawsuit by Medical Groups
------------------------------------------------------------  
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida
dismissed a purported class action against Triple-S, Inc. and
several other defendants over alleged reduction of payments to
doctors.

On Dec. 8, 2003 a putative class action was filed by Jeffrey
Solomon, and Orlando Armstrong, on behalf of themselves and all
other similarly situated and:

     -- American Podiatric Medical Association,
     -- Florida Chiropractic Association,
     -- California Podiatric Medical Association,
     -- Florida Podiatric Medical Association,
     -- Texas Podiatric Medical Association, and
     -- Independent Chiropractic Physicians

The suit was filed against the Blue Cross Blue Shield
Association and multiple other insurance companies, including
Triple-S and all members of the Blue Cross.
  
The individual plaintiffs brought the suit on behalf of
themselves and a class of similarly situated physicians seeking
redress for alleged illegal acts of the defendants, which are
alleged to have resulted in a loss of plaintiff's property and a
detriment to their business, and for declaratory and injunctive
relief to end those practices and prevent further losses.

Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants, on their own and as part
of a common scheme, systematically deny, delay and diminish the
payment due to the doctors so that they are not paid in a timely
manner for the covered, medically necessary services they
render.

The class action complaint alleges that the company's health
care plans are the agents of Blue Cross licensed entities, and
as such have committed the acts alleged above and acted within
the scope of their agency, with the consent, permission,
authorization and knowledge of the others, and in furtherance of
both their interest and the interests of other defendants.  
  
The company believes that Triple-S was made a party to this
litigation for the sole reason that Triple-S is associated with
the Blue Cross.
  
On June 25, 2004, plaintiffs amended the complaint but the
allegations against Triple-S did not vary.  Triple-S along with
the other defendants, moved to dismiss the complaint on multiple
grounds, including but not limited to arbitration and
applicability of the McCarran Ferguson Act.
  
On June 25, 2004, plaintiffs amended the complaint but the
allegations against Triple-S did not vary.  Triple-S along with
the other defendants, moved to dismiss the complaint on multiple
grounds, including but not limited to arbitration and
applicability of the McCarran Ferguson Act.

During September 2006, the court, sua sponte, ordered the
parties to engage in mediation.  However, the defendants
presented a joint position that they do not which to mediate but
to have the class certification issue decided by the court.

On March 6, plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal to
dismiss the complaint without prejudice, against 52 of the 74
defendants, including Triple-S.  

The court dismissed the case without prejudice on March 14,
according to the company's March 20 Form 10-K Filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
ended Dec. 31, 2006.

TRIPLE-S INC: Mediation Still Ongoing in Fla. Physicians' Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------  
Mediation continues in a purported class action filed against
Triple-S, Inc. and several other defendants in U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida, according to the
company's March 20 Form 10-K Filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006.

The class action was filed on May 22, 2003 by medical doctors
Kenneth A. Thomas and Michael Kutell on behalf of themselves and
all others similarly situated and the Connecticut State Medical
Society against the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Assoc. and
multiple other insurance companies including Triple-S.  

The individual plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of
themselves and a class of similarly situated physicians seeking
redress for alleged illegal acts of the defendants, which they
allege have resulted in a loss of their property and a detriment
to their business, and for declaratory and injunctive relief to
end those practices and prevent further losses.

Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants, on their own and as part
of a common scheme, systematically deny, delay and diminish the
payments due to doctors so that they are not paid in a timely
manner for the covered, medically necessary services they
render.
  
The class action complaint alleges that the health care plans
are the agents of Blue Cross licensed entities, and as such have
committed the acts alleged above and acted within the scope of
their agency, with the consent, permission, authorization and
knowledge of the others, and in furtherance of both their
interest and the interests of other defendants.
  
The company believes that it was brought to this litigation for
the sole reason of being associated with Blue Cross.  

However, on June 18, 2004 the plaintiffs moved to amend the
complaint to include, as plaintiffs against the company:

      -- the Colegio de Medicos y Cirujanos de Puerto Rico, a
         compulsory association grouping all physicians in
         Puerto Rico;

      -- Marissel Velazquez, president of the Colegio de
         Medicos y Cirujanos de Puerto Rico; and

      -- Andres Melendez,

Later Marissel Velazquez, voluntarily dismissed her complaint
against the company.
  
Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on multiple grounds,
including but not limited to arbitration and applicability of
the McCarran Ferguson Act.

The parties are currently engaged in mediation.  Twenty-four
plans have been actively participating in the mediation efforts.  

The mediation resulted in the creation of a settlement
agreement, presently under discussion with the plaintiffs'
lawyers.

The suit is "Kenneth A. Thomas, M.D., et al. v. Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Association, Case No. 03-21296-CIV-MORENO," filed in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida
under Judge Federico A. Moreno with referral to Judge Andrea M.
Simonton.

Representing the plaintiffs is Nicole Miles Acchione of Trujillo
Rodriguez & Richards 226 W Rittenhouse Square, The Penthouse,
Philadelphia, PA 19103, Phone: 215-731-9004, Fax: 731-9044.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH: Faces Tex. Suit Over Welsh, Carson Merger
-----------------------------------------------------------
John McMullen filed a class action petition in the 134th
District Court of Dallas County, Texas against Universal Health
Services Inc., Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, and all of the
directors of the company on Jan. 8, 2007.

The petition alleges, among other things, that the company's
directors breached their fiduciary duties to the company's
stockholders in approving the merger agreement with Welsh
Carson, and that Welsh Carson aided and abetted the directors'
alleged breach of fiduciary duties.

The petition seeks, among other things, class certification and
an injunction preventing the proposed merger, and a declaration
that the directors breached their fiduciary duties.

Based in Addison Texas, United Health owns and operates short
stay surgical facilities including surgery centers and private
surgical hospitals in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.


UNIVERSAL HEALTH: Units Continue to Face Labor Suit in Calif.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Health Services, Inc. and some of its subsidiaries
remain defendants in a purported class action filed in Los
Angeles Superior Court alleging violations of various California
Labor Code sections and applicable wage orders.

On Nov. 1, 2005, the company's management company and several of
its facilities located in California, including Inland Valley
Medical Center, Rancho Springs Medical Center, Del Amo Hospital
and Corona Regional Medical Center were named defendants in a
wage and hour suit, "Lasko-Hoellinger, et al v. UHS of Delaware,
Inc., et al."

While two of the four original plaintiffs in that case
voluntarily requested that they be dismissed as plaintiffs from
the lawsuit, the remaining two plaintiffs are seeking to have
the matter certified as a class action.  

The remaining plaintiffs are alleging, among other things, that
they are entitled to recover damages from the Hospitals for
missed breaks and other alleged violations of various California
Labor Code sections and applicable wage orders for a period of
at least one year prior to the filing of the case.

The hospitals denied liability and are defending the case, which
was yet to be certified as a class action by the court.

Although the company are unable to definitively determine the
extent of the potential financial exposure at this time, during
2006 the company recorded an estimated $10 million pre-tax
provision in connection with this matter.


US AIRWAYS: Sued Over Additional Fees on "Lap Children" Fare
------------------------------------------------------------
US Airways Group, Inc. passengers Daphne Renard and Todd Robins
filed a class action against the airline in San Francisco
Superior Court on Feb. 9, 2007.

The complaint alleges that U.S. Airways breached its contract of
carriage by charging additional fares and fees, after the
purchase of tickets on the usairways.com website, for passengers
under two years of age who travel as "lap children," meaning
that the child does not occupy his or her own seat but travels
instead on the lap of an accompanying adult.

The named plaintiffs allege that they purchased international
tickets through the website for themselves and a lap child.  
Plaintiffs allege that after initially receiving an electronic
confirmation that there would be no charge for the lap child,
they were later charged an additional $242.50.  

The complaint alleges a class period from Feb. 9, 2002 to the
present.  The company has not yet been served with the lawsuit.


WEB.COM INC: Pa. Court Refuses to Certify Class in TCPA Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
A court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania denied class-action
status to a lawsuit filed against Web.com, Inc., formerly
Interland, Inc., over allegations of Telephone Consumer
Protection Act violations.

In late 2001, Pair Networks, a competing web services company,
attempted to mount a class action against the company under the
TCPA after Pair Networks allegedly received a one-page fax from
the company.

In February 2007, the court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,
denied the motion of the plaintiffs to certify a class in a
case, "Pair Networks et al. v. Interland et al."

This ruling means that the three named plaintiffs in the case
may only proceed with individual claims against the company,
which can amount to not more than $1,500 each.

While the plaintiffs are expected to appeal the court's February
2007 decision dismissing the class action, the company plans to
defend that appeal.

* Hagens Berman Brings Class Action Practice to San Francisco
-------------------------------------------------------------
Seattle-based class action and complex litigation firm, Hagens
Berman Sobol Shapiro, announces the opening of a San Francisco
office that will be led by class action attorney Reed R.
Kathrein, formally of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman &
Robbins LLP.

Hagens Berman's managing partner, Steve Berman, sees it as
another large step in the firm's continued growth and strong
national presence.

"San Francisco is a hub of activity and a growing area in our
legal landscape," Mr. Berman said.  "Our new office allows us to
work more effectively with our clients and helps position us as
a leader in class-action and litigation cases."

Hagens Berman currently has an office in Los Angeles and looks
to the new San Francisco office to continue growth in one of the
most vibrant parts of the country.

"California is at the forefront of using the law to hasten
important social and governmental change, and we want to be part
of it," said Berman.  "By having Reed join us in San Francisco
it gives us the power and resources to make that happen."

Hagens Berman said Reed R. Kathrein has made a very strong name
for himself both in California and nationally with several
significant settlements and court victories over the past few
years.  Notably is a recent consumer fraud case involving Tenet
Healthcare, which he worked along side of the company and
resulted in a $1 billion settlement for uninsured patients.

Mr. Kathrein was also responsible for the successful litigation
and mediation in a case involving 3Com Securities, which settled
with $259 million price tag, the second-largest settlement in a
securities litigation case to date.

The San Francisco office, located at 425 Second Street, will
also include attorneys Jeffrey Friedman, Shana Scarlett and
Sylvia Keller, also formerly of Lerach Coughlin.

All three attorneys specialize in large class actions and have
been integral participants in large settlements over the years.

One of Mr. Friedman's most recent wins included a multi-million
dollar settlement with Dell Inc. on behalf of nearly one million
customers.

In addition to the settlement Mr. Friedman also negotiated to
have Dell change its sales and compensation policies to better
protect consumers.

Ms. Scarlett worked along side Mr. Kathrein and Hagens Berman in
the Tenet Healthcare case which settled for $1 billion.  She was
also a member of the litigation team in the Sony BMG Audio
Compact Disc Litigation, where she helped plaintiffs to secure a
multi-million dollar settlement for consumers and an agreement
from Sony BMG to stop using harmful rootkit software that
created a number of serious security, privacy and consumer
protection issues on music CDs.

Ms. Keller specializes in corporate governance and securities
class action.  Some of her most noteworthy settlements involved
a $75 million payout by Krispy Kreme, a $13 million settlement
with CV Therapeutics and a $7 million settlement with Cornell
Companies, Inc.

The law firm of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro --
http://www.hbsslaw.com-- is based in Seattle with offices in  
Chicago, Cambridge, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco.
Since the firm's founding in 1993, it has developed a nationally
recognized practice in class-action and complex litigation.

Among recent successes, Hagens Berman has negotiated:

     -- a pending $300 million settlement as lead counsel in the
        DRAM memory antitrust litigation;

     -- a $340 million recovery on behalf of Enron employees
        which is awaiting distribution;

     -- a $150 million settlement involving charges of illegally
        inflated charges for the drug Lupron, and served as co-
        counsel on the Visa/Mastercard litigation which resulted
        in a $3 billion settlement, the largest anti-trust
        settlement to date.

Hagens Berman also served as counsel in a $850 million
settlement in the Washington Public Power Supply litigation and
represented Washington and 12 other states in lawsuits against
the tobacco industry that resulted in the largest settlement in
the history of litigation.

                New Securities Fraud Cases


RADIOSHACK CORP: Schiffrin Barroway Announces Securities Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------------
The law firms of Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP
announces that a class action was filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Texas on behalf of all common
stock purchasers of RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) from Jan.
14, 2003 and June 7, 2006, inclusive.

The Complaint charges RadioShack and certain of its officers and
directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

More specifically, the Complaint alleges that the company failed
to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse
facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded
by them:

     (1) that the company's long-term growth strategy was a
         failure;

     (2) that the company's gross margins were declining as its
         expenses were increasing;

     (3) that the company was unable to accurately forecast
         demand for wireless products;

     (4) that the company's sales in wireless and accessory
         product lines were rapidly deteriorating;

     (5) that as a result of the company's switch from carrying
         Verizon wireless products to carrying Cingular and
         Sprint wireless products, the company would be forced
         to carry excess and obsolete Verizon wireless
         inventory;

     (6) that the company was not properly writing down obsolete
         inventory;

     (7) that, as a result of the foregoing, the company's
         earnings forecasts were lacking in a reasonable basis
         when made;

     (8) that the company's financial statements were not
         prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
         Accounting Principles;

     (9) that the company lacked adequate internal and financial
         controls; and

    (10) that, as a result of the foregoing, the company's
         financial statements were materially false and  
         misleading at all relevant times.

During multiple identifiable periods in 2005 and early 2006,
shares of the company's stock declined from a high of $24.30 to
a low of $14.99, following company statements, reports and
discoveries that the company was not successfully executing on
its long-term growth strategy.

Further, as reports disclosed that the company's wireless sales
were rapidly declining, and that company was forced to take
significant financial charges to account for its obsolete
inventory, the value of the company's stock suffered multiple
dramatic declines in value.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of class members.

Interested parties may move the court no later than May 15, 2007
for lead plaintiff appointment.

USANA HEALTH: Dreier Announces Securities Fraud Suit Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dreier LLP announces that a class action was commenced in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, on behalf of
purchasers of the common stock of USANA Health Sciences, Inc.
during the period July 18, 2006 through March 14, 2007,
inclusive.

The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws,
including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Complaint further alleges that, throughout the Class Period,
defendants issued materially false and misleading statements
regarding the company's business and financial results and
failed to disclose, among other things, that:

     (1) the company's multi-level marketing system was
         operating as a pyramid scheme;

     (2) the majority of the company's Associates did not sell
         to consumers, but sold to other Associates;

     (3) the company was experiencing an exceedingly high
         Associate attrition rate, resulting in an unsustainable
         sales force;

     (4) 74% of the company's new Associates were failing within
         the first year; and

     (5) 87% of the company's Associates were losing money.

The Complaint contends that, as a result of these false
statements and omissions, USANA common stock traded at
artificially inflated or distorted prices.

On March 15, 2007, the Fraud Discovery Institute issued a press
release and The Wall Street Journal published an article
concerning a three-year investigation by the Fraud Discovery
Institute that had revealed that USANA's multi-level marketing
system was an unsustainable pyramid scheme.

In reaction to this news, the price of the company's stock
declined $8.92 per share, or 15%, to close on March 15, 2007 at
$49.85 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all members of
the proposed Class.

Interested parties may move the court no later than May 25, 2007
for lead plaintiff appointment.
