The consolidated class action, "Batiz/Heine v. American

allege, among other things, that they were required to work "off
the clock," were not paid for all overtime, were not provided
work breaks or other benefits, and received pay stubs not
conforming to California law.

They generally seek unspecified monetary damages, injunctive
relief or both.

In January 2008, the U.S. District Court for the  Central
District of California conditionally certified the Fair Labor
Standards Acts claims stated in Batiz (Class Action Reporter,
April 16, 2008).

The company did not disclose further updates regarding the case
in its Jan. 20, 2009 Form 10-K/A filing with the U.S. Securities

ABM INDUSTRIES: "Villacres" Suit v. Unit Still Ongoing in Calif.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The matter, "Villacres v. ABM Security," filed against a
subsidiary of ABM Industries, Inc., is ongoing in the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California, according
to the company's Jan. 20, 2009 Form 10-K/A filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended
Oct. 31, 2008.

The named plaintiffs in the suit, which was filed on Aug. 15,
2007, are current or former employees of ABM subsidiaries who
allege, among other things, that they were required to work "off
the clock," were not paid for all overtime, were not provided
work breaks or other benefits, and received pay stubs not
conforming to California law.

They generally seek unspecified monetary damages, injunctive
relief or both.

Although the Villacres class originally claimed numerous wage
and hour violations under California law (including failure to
pay overtime, failure to pay wages timely, failure to provide
meal and rest breaks, the failure to provide proper wage
statements to employees, and engaging in unfair business
practices), the plaintiffs have since requested leave to file a
Second Amended Complaint, which would include only the claim
related to the provision of improper wage statements to
employees.

The hearing on class certification in "Villacres" was Feb. 25,
2008.  During the hearing, the court tentatively stated that it
likely lacked jurisdiction over the case, as, under the Class
Action Fairness Act, over two-thirds of the class likely reside
in California, the principal place of business of the employer
defendant, thereby not creating the necessary diversity
jurisdiction.

The court is permitting discovery on the issue and further
briefing was due April 10, 2008 (Class Action Reporter, April
16, 2008).

AT&T Mobility, LLC that accuses the company of breaching West

CAL-MAINE FOODS: Faces Antitrust Suits Over Alleged Price Fixing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., is facing several purported class-action
lawsuits alleging that it and several others have unlawfully
conspired to fix the prices of shell eggs and egg products in
violation of antitrust laws, according to the company's Dec. 31,
2008 Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ended Nov. 29, 2008.

Between Sept. 25 and Nov. 24, 2008, the company was named as one
of several defendants in fifteen antitrust cases involving the
United States shell egg industry.

In all fifteen cases, the named plaintiffs sue on behalf of
themselves and a putative class of others who claim to be
similarly situated.  In fourteen of the cases, the named
plaintiffs allege that they are retailers or distributors that
purchased shell eggs and egg products directly from one or more
of the defendants.  In the one other case, the named plaintiffs
are individuals who allege that they purchased eggs and egg
products indirectly from defendants - that is, they purchased
from retailers that had previously purchased from defendants or
other parties.

In all of the cases, the named plaintiffs allege that the
Company and all of the other large domestic egg producers
conspired to reduce the domestic supply of eggs in a concerted
effort to raise the price of eggs to artificially high levels.

The plaintiffs allege that all defendants agreed to reduce the
domestic supply of eggs by (a) manipulating egg exports and (b)
implementing industry-wide animal welfare guidelines that
reduced the number of hens and eggs.

The plaintiffs seek treble damages on behalf of themselves and
all other putative class members in the United States.

The class periods in these cases vary, with some extending as
far as back as Jan. 1, 2000.

Thirteen of the direct purchaser cases seek relief under the
Sherman Act and are pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  The other direct purchaser
case also seeks relief under the Sherman Act and is pending in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.  The one
indirect purchaser class action seeks relief under the Sherman
Act and the statutes and common-law of various states and the
District of Columbia, and is pending in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  The Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation is currently considering a motion to
consolidate these actions into one court for pretrial
proceedings.

The judge presiding over the Pennsylvania cases has entered a
series of scheduling orders, but there is no definite schedule
in any of the cases for filing motions to dismiss, discovery,
class certification proceedings, or filing motions for summary
judgment.  No trial date has been set.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. -- http://www.calmainefoods.com/-- is the
producer and marketer of shell eggs in the U.S.  The company's
primary business is the production, grading, packaging,
marketing and distribution of shell eggs.  The company sells
shell eggs in 29 states, primarily in the southwestern,
southeastern, mid-western and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S.
The company is also the producer and marketer of specialty shell
eggs in the U.S.  Specialty shell eggs include reduced
cholesterol, cage free and organic eggs.  During the fiscal year
ended May 31, 2008 (fiscal 2008), specialty shell eggs
represented approximately 14% of the company's shell egg dollar

brands: Egg-Land's Best and Farmhouse.  The company also
produces, markets and distributes private label specialty shell
eggs to several customers.  On June 27, 2008, the company

ELBIT IMAGING: Announces Dismissal of a Investors' Litigation

and Claude Prissert v. EMCORE Corporation, Adam Gushard, Hong Q.
Hou, Reuben F. Richards, Jr., David Danzilio and Thomas Werthan,

On Dec. 23, 2008, Plaintiffs Maurice Prissert and Claude

regarding its customer Green and Gold Energy ("GGE") and the

HOMETOWN HEALTH: Faces Doctors' Lawsuit in Nevada Over Payments
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hometown Health Plan, Inc. is facing a purported class-action
lawsuit in Nevada, claiming the insurance provider bilked
thousands of Northern Nevada doctors out of "tens of millions of
dollars" by failing to pay claims, forcing them into "one-sided"
contracts and manipulating payment codes.

The suit captioned, "Windisch, M.D. v. Hometown Health Plan Inc
et al., Case No. 3:08-cv-00664-BES-RAM," was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Nevada on Dec. 19, 2008 by
Dr. Kevin Windisch of Sparks Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine.

It also names as additional defendants: Hometown Health
Partners, Benefit Administrators Inc., Hometown Health Providers
Insurance Company, Inc. and Hometown's parent, Renown Health.

According to Dr. Windisch, while the insurance payments to
doctors don't directly affect patient bills, problems with
physician payments could force some to stop seeing certain
patients, file for bankruptcy, or even leave the area.  "Those
behaviors drive doctors out of business, and other doctors won't
come to this community because of it," he adds.

"This case is about Hometown Health improperly denying or
lowering reimbursements for physicians," said Edith Kallas,
Esq., an attorney with a New York law firm representing Dr.
Windisch.

Ms. Kallas told The Carson Times that they are seeking class-
action status for the case, because Hometown Health's alleged
unfair practices likely hit thousands of physicians and
physician groups to varying degrees.

According to the lawsuit, Hometown Health Plan Inc. is the
largest state-certified and federally qualified health
maintenance organization in the region.  It also states that
Renown Health is the parent company of Hometown, and serves a
17-county region with a population topping 750,000.

Physicians who enter into contract agreements with Hometown are
considered participating physicians or preferred providers and
have access to the company's long list of patients, Ms Kallas
tells The Carson Times.

"They are obligated to provide services to those patients," she
added.  "And they must work in accordance with the terms of
their contract."

However, starting in December 2002 to the present, Hometown
Health "engaged in a pattern of improper and deceptive conduct
and business practices by carrying out a scheme to deny, impede,
delay, and reduce lawful reimbursement" to physicians who
treated enrollees in the company's managed-care plans, the suit
said.

The suit alleges that Hometown used a list of methods to refuse
payment.

In some cases, if a physician provided several unrelated medical
services to a patient in a single visit, the company would
combine, or "bundle," the services into one payment that was far
less than it was obligated to pay, the suit said.

The company also "improperly" used software programs to
automatically change codes on procedures, bundle services,
ignore modifiers or deny payment without clinical review or
oversight.  In addition, it also reimbursed doctors for some
vaccines at rates lower than the actual cost of the drugs,
according to the suit.

The suit claims that doctors were not paid within the time
periods set out in their contracts, and could not acquire an
adequate explanation when the Hometown Health refused to pay
what was due.

It is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and also asks
the court for injunctive relief, "prohibiting, restraining and
enjoining" the company from engaging in a list of practices that
are keeping doctors from receiving payment and fair services.

The suit is "Windisch, M.D. v. Hometown Health Plan Inc et al.,
Case No. 3:08-cv-00664-BES-RAM," filed in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Nevada, Judge Brian E. Sandoval,
presiding.

NAVISITE INC: Files Motion To Dismiss IPO Securities Litigation
---------------------------------------------------------------
NaviSite, Inc. filed a reply on Oct. 23, 2008 in support of the
motions to dismiss a purported class-action lawsuit filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.

In October 2007, a purported Company shareholder filed a
complaint, captioned as "Vanessa Simmonds v. Bank of America

Exchange Act of 1934, which prohibits short-swing trading,
against two of the underwriters of the public offering at issue
in the class action litigation.

The plaintiff seeks the recovery of short-swing profits from the
underwriters on behalf of the Company, which is named only as a
nominal defendant and from whom no recovery is sought.

Similar complaints have been filed against the underwriters of
the public offerings of about 55 other issuers also involved in
the IPO Securities Litigation.

On July 25, 2008, the Company joined 29 other nominal defendant
issuers, and filed Issuer Defendants' Joint Motion to Dismiss
the Amended Complaint.  The Underwriter Defendants also filed a
Joint Motion to Dismiss.

On Sept. 8, 2008, plaintiff filed her oppositions to the
motions.

----------------------------------------------------------------
A civil class-action lawsuit against Novori, Inc., alleging
violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 was
dismissed with prejudice on Dec. 19, 2008.

On Jan. 25, 2008, the lawsuit was filed in the Hillsborough
County Court of the State of Florida against the company, its
officers, and an independent party with whom it had no
relationship, by three plaintiffs, alleging that the Defendants
violated provisions of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of
1991 by sending one or more unsolicited fax advertisements for
the purchase of the company's securities to them.

The plaintiffs sought damages in excess of $15,000 together with
declaratory and injunctive relief.

The company denied any culpability, but management believed it
was in the best interest of the company to settle the case,
according to the company's Jan. 20, 2009 Form 10-Q filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter
ended Nov. 30, 2008

On Oct. 29, 2008, the company entered into a Settlement
Agreement pursuant to which it agreed to pay $6,500 to the
plaintiff as compensation for the plaintiffs' withdrawal of the
lawsuit.  The plaintiffs agreed to irrevocably and
unconditionally waive, discharge and release the company and its

SUNRISE SENIOR: Pursues Dismissal of D.C. Securities Fraud Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. pursues dismissal of a consolidated
securities fraud lawsuit pending against it in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia, according to the company's
Dec. 29, 2008 Form 10-K/A Filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2007.

Initially, two putative securities class-action complaints,
styled, "United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 880-Retail
Food Employers Joint Pension Fund, et al. v. Sunrise Senior
Living, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:07CV00102," and "First New York
Securities, L.L.C. v. Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., et al., Case
No. 1:07CV000294," were filed with the U.S. District Court for
the District of Columbia on Jan. 16, 2007, and Feb. 8, 2007,
respectively.

Both complaints alleged securities law violations by Sunrise and
certain of its current or former officers and directors based on
allegedly improper accounting practices and stock option
backdating, violations of generally accepted accounting
principles, false and misleading corporate disclosures, and
insider trading of Sunrise stock.

Both sought to certify a class for the period Aug. 4, 2005
through June 15, 2006, and both requested damages and equitable
relief, including an accounting and disgorgement.

Pursuant to procedures provided by statute, two other parties --
the Miami General Employees' & Sanitation Employees' Retirement
Trust and the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement
System -- appeared and jointly moved for the consolidation of
the two securities cases and for appointment as lead plaintiffs,
which requests the Court ultimately approved.

The cases were consolidated on July 31, 2007, under the caption,
"In re Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case
No. 07-CV-00102-RBW."

Thereafter, a stipulation was submitted pursuant to which the
new putative class plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended
complaint on June 6, 2008.

The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, and names as defendants the company,
Paul J. Klaassen, Teresa M. Klaassen, Thomas B. Newell, Tiffany
L. Tomasso, Larry E. Hulse, Carl G. Adams, Barron Anschutz, and
Kenneth J. Abod.

The defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint was filed on
Aug. 11, 2008, and briefing on that motion is continuing.

The suit is "In re Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. Securities
Litigation, Case No. 07-CV-00102-RBW," filed in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Reggie B.
Walton, presiding.

VISION AIRLINES: Faces Lawsuit in Nevada Over Federal Hazard Pay
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vision Airlines, Inc. faces a purported class-action lawsuit by
charter aircraft crew members who made flights for the U.S.
government into war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, claiming the
company failed to pay all of the federal hazard pay they are due
for their work, Steve Green of The Las Vegas Sun reports.

The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Nevada on Jan. 16, 2009 by former pilot Gerald Hester of
Colleyville, Texas.  It states that at least 300 current and
former employees are affected, according to The Las Vegas Sun
report.

According to plaintiff's attorney Ross Goodman, Esq. of Las
Vegas, the company, known locally for flying Grand Canyon tour
flights,  has been running the charters carrying personnel and
cargo since May 2005.

The lawsuit states "flying aircraft to and from the airports in
Baghdad and Kabul is extremely dangerous."  It explains,
"Aircraft typically arrive or depart these airports under the
cover of darkness to avoid light arms fire, rocket propelled
grenades, and missile attacks.  In fact, all flights arriving
and departing from the airports in Baghdad and Kabul must be
authorized by either the United States or British military
operational command centers located in those cities."

Aircraft must observe blackout procedures in which exterior and
interior lights are turned off and then must execute difficult
corkscrew landing procedures in which aircraft fly within a
spiral above the airport while landing in order to minimize
their exposure to enemy fire, according to the suit.

The suit states that the hazard pay due to charter crews flying
to and from Iraq is $2,500 for each captain, first officer and
international relief officer for each take-off and landing.  It
adds that other crew members such as flight attendants and
mechanics are to receive $1,500 each for each take-off and
landing.

The suit says hazard pay was initially provided to some
employees, but those payments were later halted by management,
reports The Las Vegas Sun.

"Despite receiving more than $21 million in hazard pay intended
for its employees, Vision has failed to pay its employees the
hazard pay to which they are entitled," according to the suit.

The suit is "Hester v. Vision Airlines, Inc., Case No. 2:09-cv-
00117-RLH-RJJ," filed in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Nevada, Judge Roger L. Hunt, presiding.

WILLIAMS COS: Expects 2009 Trial for Colo. Royalties Litigation
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Williams Companies, Inc., anticipates that trial on a
purported class-action suit in Colorado over royalties will
commence in 2009.

In September 2006, royalty interest owners in Garfield County,
Colorado, filed a class-action suit in Colorado state court
alleging that the Company improperly calculated oil and gas
royalty payments and failed to account for the proceeds.

In addition, the plaintiffs alleged that the Company improperly
charged certain expenses, and failed to refund amounts withheld
in excess of ad valorem tax obligations.

The plaintiffs claim that the class might be in excess of 500
individuals and seek an accounting and damages.

The parties have reached a partial settlement agreement for an
amount that was previously accrued.  The partial settlement has
received preliminary approval by the court.

The Williams Companies, Inc., is an energy company based in
Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Its core business is natural gas exploration,
production, processing, and transportation, with additional
petroleum and electricity generation assets.  A Fortune 200
company, its common stock is a component of the S&P 500 and the
Dow Jones Utility Average.


WIRELESS TELECOMS: Faces Suit Over Rise in Text Messages Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Several wireless telecommunications companies are facing a
purported class-action suit in Alabama over rising costs of text
messaging services, David Holden of The Huntsville Times
reports.

The suit captioned, "Crutchfield v. Verizon Wireless et al.,
Case No. 5:2008-cv-02426," filed in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Alabama on Dec. 30, 2008.  It was filed
by Steven Crutchfield against Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc.,
Sprint-Nextel Corp. and T-Mobile USA, and is seeking class-
action status.

Mr. Crutchfield claims that the companies violated federal laws
against monopolies and have agreed together to fix the price for
the pay-per-use services nationwide, according to The Huntsville
Times report.

Since 2005, the volume of text messages has increased from 81
billion to about 383 billion in 2007, the lawsuit said.  Mr.
Crutchfield and his lawyer, Frank Tomlinson, Esq. of Birmingham,
cite as their source for statistics, CTIA - The Wireless
Association, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that
compiles information about wireless services.

According to the lawsuit, during the fourth quarter of 2006 and
first quarter of 2007, the four companies increased the charge
for sending and receiving text messages from 10 cents to 15
cents.  They increased their charges again a year later from 15
cents to 20 cents, reports The Huntsville Times.

The providers increased their charges at the same times, but the
cost to these companies to provide the services appears to
remain the same, the lawsuit said.  Subscribers to text-
messaging services have been hurt by paying higher prices than
they would have paid in a competitive market, the lawsuit said.

The suit is "Crutchfield v. Verizon Wireless et al., Case No.
5:2008-cv-02426," filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Alabama, Judge Harwell G Davis, III,
presiding.

                   New Securities Fraud Cases

RACKABLE SYSTEMS: Brualdi Law Firm Announces Stock Suit Filing
--------------------------------------------------------------
     NEW YORK, Jan 23, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- The
Brualdi Law Firm, P.C. announces that a lawsuit has been
commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California on behalf of purchasers of securities of
Rackable Systems, Inc. ("Rackable" or the "Company") between
October 30, 2006 and April 4, 2007, inclusive (the "Class
Period").

     The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period
defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that their public
statements concerning Rackable's business, operations and
prospects were materially false and misleading.

     Specifically, the Complaint alleges that defendants' public
statements were false and misleading or failed to disclose or
indicate the following:

       -- that the Company was experiencing competitive
          pressure;

       -- that competition was increasing;

       -- that, due to increasing competition, the Company was
          able to maintain and expand its customer base only by
          aggressively lowering its contract prices;

       -- that, as such, the Company was experiencing dramatic
          erosion of gross margin attainment in the Company's
          largest accounts as focused competitors aggressively
          dropped prices;

       -- that price increases for DDR (double data rate) memory
          were accelerating faster than the Company represented
          to investors;

       -- that, as a result of the above, the Company was
          unlikely to meet its quarterly gross margin targets;

       -- that the Company lacked effective internal and
          financial controls; and

       -- as a result of the foregoing, that statements made by
          the Company and management during the Class Period
          concerning the Company's business, operations and
          prospects were lacking any reasonable basis.

     No class has yet been certified in the above action.
