AUSTRALIA: Forests NSW May Face Class Action Over Ground Spraying
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Belinda Scott, writing for The Coffs Coast Advocate, reports that
Bellingen's Green Action Group is threatening Forests NSW with a
class action if the State Government body aerial sprays herbicide
over 175ha of logged eucalypt plantation land in the Gladstone
State Forest between Bowraville and Bellingen.

They want the helicopter spraying replaced with ground spraying.
The spraying was to begin on Jan. 21.

The blackbutt timber has been logged and the spraying is designed
to remove weeds before replanting with seedlings.  Bellingen Green
Action Group's Susan Weil said any drift from the aerial spraying
could cost the organic certification for her farm, about 2km from
the spray zone.

Another certified organic farm was inside the 150m buffer zone for
the spraying.  Ms Weil said the group was setting up a bee
sanctuary in the area for native bees and honey bees and aerial
spraying would be anathema.  She said the area to be sprayed
included one side of Spicketts Creek and both sides of the Kalang
River with setbacks of only 25m from river and streams and 15m
from drainage lines.

A protest meeting was organized for 2:00 p.m. on Jan. 20 at
Bellingen Memorial Hall.

"We are asking them to halt it (the spray program) and sit down
and work out a better solution," Ms. Weil said.

"Ground spraying can be more targeted and safer."

The group is looking for people to join the campaign and has set
up a Facebook page -- STOP Forestry Corporation of NSW from aerial
spraying.


AUTOZONE INC: Court Decertifies Class in "Taylor" Suit
------------------------------------------------------
Senior District Judge Frederick J. Martone issued a ruling on
January 21, 2015, in the case Michael L. Taylor et al, Plaintiffs,
v. AutoZone Inc. et al, Defendants, NO. CV 10-8125-PHX-FJM, (D.
Ariz.).

"Given the circumstances of this case, including the inability or
unwillingness of named plaintiffs and plaintiffs' counsel to go
forward on behalf of the opt-ins, the reasonableness of the award
to the named plaintiffs, the absence of attorneys fees per se to
plaintiffs' counsel, the protection of the opt-in plaintiffs'
claims, should they choose to pursue them, by the dismissal
without prejudice and the tolling agreement, and other factors of
record, we conclude that the proposed disposition, while not
optimal, is not unreasonable and not unfair," Judge Martone wrote
in his order, a copy of which is available at http://is.gd/APctBf
from Leagle.com.

Accordingly, Judge Martone continued, pursuant to the parties'
Stipulations, it is ordered:

1. Decertifying this as a representative action under
Section216(b);

2. Dismissing this action with prejudice as to the named
plaintiffs (Taylor, Khan, Glover-Hale and Montoya), each party to
bear its own fees and costs; and,

3. Dismissing this action without prejudice as to all of the opt-
in plaintiffs (whose consents have been filed), each party to bear
its own fees and costs.

4. Pursuant to LR Civ 40.2(c), the named plaintiffs and the
defendants will pay, in equal shares, to the clerk of court one
day's jury fees for their failure to give notice of their
settlement five days before the first day of trial.

The Court directed the clerk to enter final judgment concluding
this action pursuant to this order.

BANK OF AMERICA: Pennsylvania Homeowners File RICO Class Action
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jim Boyle, writing for Legal Newsline, reports that two Western
Pennsylvania men are among the plaintiffs in a class action suit
that accuses one of the top banking companies in the world of
establishing an illegal racketeering scheme that allowed it to
make millions in kickbacks while taking minimum risk as an
investor in mortgage insurance companies.

According to the complaint filed at the U.S. District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania, Bank of America has pocketed
more than $280 million by sharing mortgage insurance premiums
between 2004 and 2011, while being liable for only approximately
$39 million in claims.  The claim says that money was primarily
funded through mortgage insurance premiums paid by borrowers such
as William Weiss and Robert Lessman of Greensburg.

The defendants, including Bank of America and its subsidiaries,
are accused in the class action of conducting a pattern of wire
fraud and racketeering activity under RICO statutes.  The action
seeks a declaratory judgment ruling the actions unlawful and full
restitution of mortgage insurance premiums to members of the
class.

Typically, when a mortgage-seeker cannot cover a 20 percent down-
payment for the purchase of a home, the lender will require a
mortgage insurance premium to protect its investment, the
complaint says.

Messrs. Weiss and Lessman entered into such an agreement when they
purchased their Greensburg home in 2006, adding an additional $25
to their monthly payment.

According to the complaint, Bank of America has followed the
practice used by many financial institutions and created a
reinsurance subsidiary to enter into contracts with third party
mortgage insurance providers.

In exchange for a steady stream of business, the mortgage
insurance providers agree to share a percentage of the premiums,
the complaint says.

The complaint argues not only that the agreements offer little
opportunity for the borrowers to shop around for cheaper insurance
premiums, but also the premium payments contribute to an illegal
kickback scheme that unjustly enriches Bank of America.

The class action further states that Bank of America has protected
itself from incurring heavy losses from defaults by entering into
an excess-of-loss agreement with the insurance company.  Under the
agreement, the bank is only liable for claims over a certain
percent, with a ceiling that prevents any large financial hits,
the complaint says.

"Under this structure, then, the reinsurer's liability begins, if
ever, only when the private mortgage insurer's incurred losses
reach the attachment point and ends when such losses reach the
detachment point," the claim says.

"The absence of any likelihood that the reinsurer will experience
real losses reveals the reinsurance agreement between the
reinsurer and primary private mortgage insurer to be a sham."

The claim says that the payment of these kickbacks to lenders have
forced the mortgage insurance providers to inflate the premiums
and pass the costs to the homeowners.

The plaintiffs argue that they have been subjected to violations
of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 and seek
statutory damages pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act.

Members of the class have been defined as persons who obtained a
residential mortgage loan from Bank of America between Jan. 1,
2004 and the present and purchased mortgage insurance from a party
who also held a captive reinsurance contract with Bank of America.

The action has been entered into Pennsylvania federal court by
attorneys from Stephen J. O'Brien & Associates and Kessler, Topaz,
Meltzer & Check, LLP.

The federal case ID is 2:15-cv-00062-CB.

BURBERRY LTD: Former Intern Files Wage Class Action
---------------------------------------------------
Kat Greene, Aebra Coe, Kurt Orzeck, Ben James, Erin Coe, Michael
Lipkin, Daniel Siegal and Tess Hoffman, writing for Law360, report
that Burberry Ltd. is the latest luxury goods peddler to be hit
with a class action over wages, with a lawsuit filed in New York
on Jan. 16 by a former intern who accuses the company of cheating
interns out of pay for work that doesn't provide any academic
benefit.

Burberry joins a long list of big-name retailers and other
companies who stand accused of taking on interns, having them do
work that doesn't further their skill and refusing to pay them.
It's at least the sixth suit in four months filed by New York
interns.

In the Jan. 16 suit, lead plaintiff Lysandra Whitlow says that
while she was an intern at Burberry in the summer of 2012 she
worked 32 hours a week and was given administrative tasks such as
washing dishes and serving pastries at meetings.  She says she
wasn't paid for her efforts.

"Beginning in December 2008 and continuing through the present,
defendant has maintained a policy and practice of failing to
provide compensation at the statutory minimum wage rate for all
hours worked to named plaintiff and members of the putative
class," her complaint says.

The work she did benefited Burberry, and were it not for her and
other interns, the company would have had to hire and pay someone
to do the tasks she took on, Ms. Whitlow alleges.

But it wasn't educational, and it wasn't training her in a
specific skill, two markers that separate an intern from illegal
free labor, according to the suit.

Ms. Whitlow says her work days were spent arranging chairs for
client meetings, organizing samples, taking inventory and other
administrative tasks.

The accusations mirror those of other interns who have lined up in
New York court, backed by attorneys at Leeds Brown Law PC and
Virginia & Ambinder LLP, all of whom accuse various companies of
not paying them for work that doesn't qualify as education or
training.

Sports marketing giant IMG Worldwide LLC was accused on Dec. 18 of
paying interns a one-time $400 stipend for two months' work.
Kenneth Cole Productions Inc. was hit with an unpaid intern class
action on Dec. 2, following suits filed against Gucci America Inc.
in November, Calvin Klein Inc. in late October, Marc Jacobs
International LLC in mid-October, Oscar de la Renta LLC in
September and Coach Inc. in July, all launched in New York Supreme
Court by Leeds Brown and Virginia & Ambinder.

In November those firms announced a $795,000 settlement in New
York federal court in an unpaid intern class action against
Madison Square Garden Co.

Conde Nast Publications agreed the same month to pay $5.85 million
to resolve a putative class action brought by two former interns
at the New Yorker and W magazine who claimed they were unlawfully
denied minimum wage.

And NBCUniversal Inc. shelled out $6.4 million to resolve a
putative class and collective action filed by former unpaid
interns at MSNBC and "Saturday Night Live" who claimed they should
have been compensated, according to documents filed in New York
federal court in mid-October.

Ms. Whitlow and the putative class are represented by Lloyd R.
Ambinder and Kara S. Miller of Virginia & Ambinder LLP and Brett
R. Cohen, Michael A. Tompkins and Jeffrey K. Brown of Leeds Brown
Law PC.

The case is Lysandra Whitlow v. Burberry Ltd. et al., case number
150529/2015, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County
of New York.


BUY LOW: Recalls Happy Apples Caramel Apples Due to Listeria

CFIA reference number:    9563

Industry is recalling Happy Apples brand Caramel Apples from the
marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
Consumers should not consume the recalled products.

The products, made in the United States (US), are known to have
been sold in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan
and may have also been distributed in other provinces and
territories.  These products may also have been purchased in the
US.

Check to see if you have recalled products in your home.  If
found, secure the caramel apple in a plastic bag and throw it out.
Do not consume.

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or
smell spoiled but can still make you sick.  Symptoms can include
vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache
and neck stiffness.  Pregnant women, the elderly and people with
weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.  Although
infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like
symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection
of the newborn or even stillbirth.  In severe cases of illness,
people may die.

PHAC is monitoring the US outbreak investigation.

The recall was triggered by a recall initiated by the US
manufacturer which may be related to a foodborne illness outbreak.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is working with its
federal partners, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and
Health Canada, and the United States Food and Drug Administration,
and is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to
the recall of other products.  If other high-risk products are
recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food
Recall Warnings.

The CFIA is verifying that industry has removed recalled product
from the marketplace.


CARNIVAL CORP: Removes "Finerman" Suit to Florida District Court
----------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit captioned Finerman v. Carnival
Corporation, Case No. 14-CA-031461, was removed from the Circuit
Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade
County to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Florida (Miami).  The District Court Clerk assigned Case No. 1:15-
cv-20311-JAL to the proceeding.

The case is a putative class action brought on behalf of "[a]ll
persons throughout the United States who from 2010 to date were
members of the Marriot Vacation Club and who booked a cruise on
vessels operated by Carnival Corporation."  The Plaintiff alleges
that Carnival improperly charged him certain "Government Fees" and
"Port Fees," which the Plaintiff alleges were either "fictitious"
or "inflated" beyond the amount of the actual fees charged by the
relevant government entities and port authorities, and that
Carnival retained these fees for economic gain.

CHICAGO: Wins Dismissal of Taxicab Driver's FLSA Suit
-----------------------------------------------------
Melissa Callahan is a taxicab driver in Chicago.  She obtained her
license to drive a taxicab in 2007, and drove full time between
January 2009 and August 2011.  Callahan asserts that, during that
period, she was unable to earn the minimum wage as defined by the
Fair Labor Standards Act ($7.25 per hour) or by the Illinois
Minimum Wage Law ($8.25 per hour).  In 2012, Callahan sued the
City of Chicago, claiming: (1) that the City was her employer
under these statutes; and (2) that it violated those laws by
failing to pay her the required minimum wages.  The City moves for
summary judgment on Counts IV and V of Callahan's amended
complaint.  Callahan cross-moves for summary judgment on the same
counts.

In a memorandum opinion and order dated Jan. 23, 2015, Judge
Manish S. Shah of the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, granted the
City's motion and denied Callahan's motion.

In support of the decision, Judge Shah stated: "The City of
Chicago closely regulates the taxicab industry.  It licenses both
the owners and drivers of cabs, sets maximum rates charged to
consumers, and sets standards for drivers' conduct and appearance,
among other things.  The City also benefits from taxis working
within its borders.  The City requires much from those who would
operate taxicabs, but the City has not gone so far as to employ
the individual lessees who drive them -- the City regulates, but
it does not provide the business to which cabdrivers render
service.  As a result, the City was not Callahan's employer under
the FLSA or IMWL, and is not liable to her for any wages.

"To prevail on a minimum-wage claim under the FLSA or IMWL, a
plaintiff must prove not only that the defendant was her employer,
but that she was not in fact paid the minimum wage.  On this
latter front, Callahan has not produced admissible evidence from
which a jury could reasonably infer much, if anything, about her
hourly income and whether it fell below the applicable minimum.
Her own calculations are premised on inadmissible evidence and
speculation.  Consequently, Callahan cannot defeat the City's
motion for summary judgment."

The case is MELISSA CALLAHAN, on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF CHICAGO, a municipal
corporation, Defendant, NO. 12 CV 362 (N.D. Ill.).  A full-text

On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, a defect
in the clutch interlock switch could allow the starter to engage
without depressing the clutch pedal.  If recommended starting
procedures are not followed, this could cause unintended vehicle

CONCENTRA HEALTH: Court Tosses Class Allegations in "Garcia" Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Percy Anderson for the Central District of
California struck the class allegations in the case, Jenny U.
Garcia v. Concentra Health Services, Inc., et al., (C.D. Cal.).

Plaintiff filed this putative class action on behalf of herself
and a class of similarly situated individuals. The Complaint,
which asserts claims under state law, was filed on February 5,
2014 in the Los Angeles Superior Court.  Concentra Health filed a
Notice of Removal on March 28, 2014, alleging that jurisdiction
was based on the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. Section
1332(d)(2), and diversity pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1332(a).

Because the Notice of Removal alleged Plaintiff's residence rather
than citizenship, the Court remanded the action for failing to
adequately allege a basis for the Court's jurisdiction. After
conducting discovery concerning Plaintiff's citizenship, Defendant
filed a second Notice of Removal on August 28, 2014. Assuming that
Local Rule 23-3's 90-day requirement began running on August 28,
2014, the motion for class certification should have been filed no
later than November 26, 2014. Plaintiff did not file a motion for
class certification by that date.

The Court directed Garcia to show cause why the class allegations
should not be stricken from the Complaint for failure to timely
file a motion for class certification in compliance with Local
Rule 23-3.

In her Response to the Court's order to show cause, Plaintiff
contends good cause exists to vacate the 90-day deadline because
of the complexity of the case and the amount of discovery needed
to establish the class certification requirements of Federal Rule
23. Plaintiff also argues Local Rule 23-3 is inconsistent with
Federal Rule 23, as amended, and is obsolete.

The Plaintiff, however, failed to persuade the Court.

COSTCO WHOLESALE: Can't Replace Obligations in MDL Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the case styled IN RE: MOTOR FUEL TEMPERATURE SALES PRACTICES
LITIGATION, MDL NO. 1840, CASE NO. 07-1840-KHV (D. Kan.), one of
the defendants, Costco Wholesale Corporation made an oral motion
for leave to adopt a more beneficial terms of agreements reflected
in a stipulation of dismissal and to have the claims against it
dismissed with prejudice.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn H. Vratil, in a memorandum and order
dated Jan. 23, 2015, overruled Costco's oral motion, holding that
the class counsel and class representatives did not enter into an
"agreement" with respect to automatic temperature compensation
(ATC) implementation.  On the record, the Court therefore found
that under the amended settlement agreement, Costco may not
replace its obligations with terms contained in the Stipulation Of
Dismissal.

DANAHER: Insurer Must Pay $8.8MM in Legal Fees in Asbestos Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Christine Simmons, writing for New York Law Journal, reports that
a Southern District magistrate judge has recommended that an
insurer pay $8.8 million in legal fees and potentially as much as
$4 million in interest incurred by a company defending asbestos
claims around the country.

In approving billing rates for 14 law firms, including Sidley
Austin, DLA Piper and Nixon Peabody, Magistrate Judge James
Francis in Danaher v. Travelers, 10-cv-0121, said that a
reasonable fee must be based on a reasonable hourly rate.  "It
need not be the lowest possible rate, but, rather, must merely
fall within a range of reasonableness," Judge Francis said.

The fees stem from a dispute over insurance coverage for claims
against Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co.  The company has been the
defendant in silica- and asbestos-related products liability
claims throughout the U.S., many brought by individuals claiming
to have lung injuries due to exposure from air compressors made by
Chicago Pneumatic.

The company was acquired by Danaher, a manufacturing and
technology company, which then sold its stock in Chicago Pneumatic
to engineering firm Atlas Copco North America.  Under the terms of
the stock purchase agreement, Danaher retained liability for
losses arising from products made by Chicago Pneumatic before June
1987 and obtained rights to receive the proceeds of insurance
policies covering those losses.

Travelers Casualty and Surety Co. and affiliate Travelers
Indemnity Co. issued liability policies to Chicago Pneumatic for a
number of years.

In January 2010, Danaher sued Travelers, contending the Travelers
entities were disputing their obligations to fully defend Danaher
and pay defense costs.  Shortly after, Travelers sued Atlas Copco,
seeking a declaration that Travelers was not required to defend or
indemnify it in the underlying actions.

After more than two years of discovery, Judge J. Paul Oetken
granted partial summary judgment in September 2012 to Atlas Copco
and Danaher, ruling that Travelers had a duty to defend in the
underlying claims.

Last August, Danaher and Atlas Copco sought reimbursement from
Travelers of about $8.8 million for the defense of the underlying
claims, plus pre-judgment interest.  But Travelers complained that
certain rates were unreasonably high.  It identified 14 firms,
litigating in 11 states, whose hourly rates purportedly exceed
Travelers' approved rates for those specific firms or the rates
charged by similar firms defending bodily injury claims in their
legal communities.
Travelers said the 14 firms were responsible for more than half of
the total defense costs generated.

"Travelers appears to misunderstand the issue here," Judge Francis
said.

For example, Travelers challenged the hourly rates of lawyers at
five firms that defended Danaher or its predecessors in litigation
in California, including DLA Piper, Sidley Austin, Nixon Peabody,
Gordon & Rees, and Prindle, Amaro, Goetz, Hillyard, Barnes &
Reinholtz.

After citing standard rates from a billing survey, Judge Francis
said he found five firms charged rates "within the range of
reasonableness for attorneys in California."

Judge Francis also did not find issues with hourly rates from
Starnes & Atchison in Alabama; McCarter & English in Delaware;
Johnson & Bell in Illinois; Polsinelli in Missouri; Nixon Peabody
in New Hampshire; White & Williams in Pennsylvania; Nelson,
Mullins, Riley & Scarborough in South Carolina; Willcox & Savage
in Virginia; and Schwabe Williamson & Wyatt and DLA Piper in
Washington state.

The firm of Hardin, Kundla, McKeon & Poletto in New Jersey
defended Chicago Pneumatic in New York, with Danaher paying its
partner rates of $180 an hour and associate rates of $155.  The
judge noted "these rates are significantly lower than the rates
Travelers routinely pays attorneys and staff litigating in New
York."

Judge Francis said Danaher produced sufficient support to
determine that each of the challenged rates was within the range
of reasonableness.

Atlas Copco sought about $234,000 from Travelers that it incurred
to defend the declaratory judgment action through September 2012,
plus interest.  Atlas cited the work of several Reed Smith
insurance recovery attorneys, with hourly rates ranging from $730
for partner Ann Kramer -- akramer@reedsmith.com -- and $550 for
partner Paul Breene -- pbreene@reedsmith.com -- to an associate
billing at $340, in addition to support staff charges.

Judge Francis said his own research confirmed that the rates for
Reed Smith attorneys "are not unreasonable in this market."

"The fact that counsel and client agreed to reduce certain rates
does not necessarily mean, as Travelers argues, that the original
rates were outside the realm of reasonableness," the judge said.

"I will not accept Travelers' invitation to decrease each
timekeeper's hourly rates to the lowest rate that timekeeper
charged."

In all, Judge Francis recommended that Atlas Copco be awarded
$234,490 in attorney's fees and costs, plus statutory pre-judgment
interest.  He also recommended that Danaher and Atlas Copco be
reimbursed $8.8 million plus statutory pre-judgment interest,
which the companies reported was about $4.1 million.

Mr. Breene, the Reed Smith partner representing Atlas Copco, said
he was pleased with the ruling and that "the law significantly
favored us here."

DART CHEROKEE: Ruling Impacts Class Certification Order Practice
----------------------------------------------------------------
Scott E Gant, Esq. and Christopher L. Hayes, Esq. of Boies,
Schiller & Flexner, in an article Law.com, report that the U.S.
Supreme Court's decision in Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Company
v. Owens, issued December 15, has received notice among class
action practitioners for establishing that parties seeking to
remove class actions to federal court under the Class Action
Fairness Act (CAFA) do not need to include with their removal
filing evidence showing that the amount in controversy exceeds $5
million to establish jurisdiction.  Little noted, however, is
Dart's implication for another important aspect of class action
practice.

The case also resolves uncertainty about whether the Supreme Court
has jurisdiction to review a district court's interlocutory order
granting or denying class certification when the court of appeals
has declined to review the order.

The plaintiff in Dart filed a putative class action in state court
seeking an unspecified amount in royalties under oil and gas
leases with defendants.  The defendants filed a notice of removal
in federal court under CAFA, which gives federal district courts
jurisdiction over certain class actions in which damages exceed $5
million.  Defendants' notice of removal alleged that the amount in
controversy was $8.2 million, but they did not submit evidence to
substantiate the allegation with their notice.

Plaintiffs sought remand to state court on the ground that
defendants' bare allegation was insufficient to invoke the federal
court's jurisdiction.  The district court agreed with the
plaintiff and entered an order remanding the case to state court.

In most circumstances, remand orders are "not reviewable on appeal
or otherwise" 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1447(d), but in cases invoking CAFA,
"a court of appeals may accept an appeal from an order of a
district court granting or denying a motion to remand." 28 U.S.C.
Sec. 1453(c)(1).  The defendants accordingly filed a petition
asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit for
permission to appeal the order, but the appeals court denied the
request.  The Dart defendants then filed a petition for
certiorari, which the Supreme Court granted. On the merits, the
court concluded that the remand order was inappropriate because
the defendants' "short and plain statement" of the amount in
controversy met the statutory jurisdictional threshold in CAFA.

The court reached this conclusion despite a challenge to its
jurisdiction raised in an amicus brief suggesting that the court
lacked subject matter jurisdiction because certiorari jurisdiction
is limited to "[c]ases in the courts of appeals" 28 U.S.C.
Sec. 1254(1).  The Supreme Court rejected these concerns, holding
that "[t]he case was 'in' the Court of Appeals because of Dart's
leave-to-appeal application, and we have jurisdiction to review
what the Court of Appeals did with that application."  And
although four justices dissented on the merits, only Justice
Clarence Thomas expressly rejected the court's determination on
jurisdiction, writing a separate dissenting opinion to address the
issue.

The Dart decision concerning jurisdiction has important
implications for the appeal of interlocutory class certification
orders.  Ordinarily, interlocutory orders are not appealable.  But
as with remand orders, the courts of appeals have been given
discretion to "permit an appeal from an order granting or denying
class-action certification." Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(f).  Prior to
Dart, it was unclear whether petitioning a court of appeals to
permit an appeal of a district court's order on a motion for
certification placed the "case[] in the court of appeals," and
therefore within the ambit of the Supreme Court's certiorari
jurisdiction.

Now, under Dart, a request for permission to appeal renders the
case "in" the court of appeals, giving rise to certiorari
jurisdiction.  Consequently, if a court of appeals refuses to
review a class certification order issued by a district court,
Dart has effectively established that the Supreme Court
nevertheless may undertake review of the trial court's class
certification determination.

This development is significant because a decision on class
certification can be the most important moment in a case.  Refusal
to certify is likely to deprive the plaintiff of incentives
necessary to continue prosecuting the case.  On the other side,
certification of a class may increase the defendant's exposure to
such an extent that settlement is the only reasonable choice.

For parties on either side who have lost at certification, the
Dart holding makes it clear that they have a comparatively
inexpensive shot at avoiding an unfavorable certification order by
seeking Supreme Court review.  Where, as in Dart, there is a
strong case that a district court committed legal error, which the
court of appeals refused to review, a petition for certiorari
should now be strongly considered.  And even in cases where it is
harder to establish an abuse of discretion, after Dart, seeking
certiorari may be a worthwhile Hail Mary pass.

action and appellate litigation.

ENERGY RECOVERY: Rosen Law Firm Files Securities Class Action
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Rosen Law Firm on Jan. 20 disclosed that it has filed a class
action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of Energy Recovery, Inc.
securities from March 14, 2012 through January 13, 2015. The
lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Energy Recovery investors
under the federal securities laws.

IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN
ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT
THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

According to the lawsuit, Energy Recovery issued materially false
and misleading statements to investors by failing to disclose
significant internal control deficiencies that rendered the
Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC false and
misleading.  On September 10, 2014, Energy Recovery announced that
it terminated its Senior Vice President of Sales, Borja Sanchez-
Blanco, for cause after becoming aware of him having breached a
duty of trust and engaging in misconduct involving his role at the
Company over the course of several years.  On January 13, 2015,
Energy Recovery announced the resignation of its CEO, Thomas S.
Rooney, Jr.  The suit claims that these adverse disclosures caused
the price of the Company's stock to drop, damaging investors.
A class action lawsuit has already been filed.  If you wish to
serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than
March 23, 2015.  If you wish to join the litigation go to

FARUQI & FARUQI: Judge Narrows Discrimination Claim
---------------------------------------------------
Christine Simmons, writing for New York Law Journal, reports that
Southern District Judge Alvin Hellerstein has narrowed a woman's
lawsuit against class action boutique Faruqi & Faruqi, dismissing
claims against the firm's principals.

A trial is underway in former associate Alexandra Marchuk's
discrimination suit against partner Juan Monteverde and principals
Nadeem Faruqi and Lubna Faruqi.  Ms. Marchuk claims Mr. Monteverde
harassed her when she was a first-year litigation associate and
sexually assaulted her after a 2011 holiday party.

After the defense moved for judgment as a matter of law, Judge
Hellerstein ruled on Jan. 28 in Marchuk v. Faruqi & Faruqi, 13-
1669, that the case would proceed against only Mr. Monteverde and
Faruqi & Faruqi and be limited to only her claim of a hostile work
environment.

Judge Hellerstein said Ms. Marchuk introduced sufficient evidence
for a jury to find that Monteverde created a hostile work
environment claim under state law but failed to present evidence
allowing a reasonable jury to conclude that the firm or its
principals encouraged, condoned or approved of the alleged
discriminatory conduct.

He dismissed another hostile work environment claim under the city
law against the principals but not the firm.

Judge Hellerstein said Ms. Marchuk also failed to satisfy the
elements needed to prove unlawful retaliation under Title VII and
state human rights law.  He said her complaint "was as replete
with incendiary language and vituperative attacks as any complaint
I have seen" and "the decision to file this unprofessional
document thus reflects an intent to extend the litigation from the
courts to the press."

But he said Ms. Marchuk's Title VII hostile work environment claim
"offered sufficient proof for a jury to conclude that
Mr. Monteverde was her supervisor and that his conduct, if true,
was sufficiently severe to compel a reasonable person to resign.
There is nothing else she needs to show to impute Mr. Monteverde's
conduct to Faruqi & Faruqi," he said.


FEDEX CORP: Faces Suit Over Hidden International Shipping Fees
--------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Newsline reports that a class action lawsuit filed against
FedEx alleges the company doesn't disclose its fees for
international shipping.

Seyed Kazerouni filed the lawsuit against FedEx on Jan. 14,
claiming the company adds its own "advancement fee" for all
internationally shipped packages.  The fee is $6.50, or two
percent of the overall customs fee, whichever is greater, the
lawsuit said.  Package recipients must pay customs fees for any
packages they receive, but FedEx charges the advancement fee to
increase its revenues, the lawsuit said.

"FedEx does not disclose the existence of this advancement fee
until it is already due and owing, and likewise, it does not
provide the package recipient with any alternative options
beforehand to avoid the added cost," the lawsuit said.  "As part
of claiming the package, the recipient must pay the undisclosed
advancement fee or risk having FedEx direct the debt to a
collections agency or not deliver the package."

Mr. Kazerouni said he ordered several World Cup jerseys online and
agreed to pay FedEx $23 for shipping.  A week after receiving the
package, he received an invoice from FedEx demanding $91.22 for
"duties, tax, customs, other fees," the lawsuit said.

The suit seeks class status and more than $5 million in damages
against FedEx.

FORD MOTOR: Faces Class Action Over Explorer Carbon Monoxide Leaks
------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Newsline reports that a class action lawsuit claims Ford
Motor Co. knew about possible carbon monoxide leaking into the
vehicles but did not inform potential buyers.

Lyliana Salinas filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas against Ford on Jan. 14 alleging its
Explorer models from 2011 through 2015 could leak exhaust fumes
into the vehicle when the climate control system was in use.

Several technical service bulletins were issued by Ford
acknowledging the problem and reporting that customers could smell
a sulfur odor.  The lawsuit claims the bulletins don't acknowledge
that carbon monoxide could enter the vehicle.

Ms. Salinas says she purchased a pre-owned 2013 Ford Explorer
Sport in September and brought the vehicle into Ford dealerships
due to the fumes entering the vehicle.  Ms. Salinas claims she
could still smell the fumes even after a dealership attempted to
fix the problem through the instructions given on the technical
service bulletin.

"When the exhaust odor is present, plaintiff and her minor
daughters often become nauseated, develop headaches, feel dizzy
and develop a burning sensation in their eyes and stomach," the
lawsuit said.

Ms. Salinas is represented by Frank Costilla of the Law Office of
Frank Costilla and John L. Uustal of Kelley/Uustal, PLC.

FUCCILLO AUTO: Class Action Attorneys Get $750,000 in Legal Fees
----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Gavin, writing for Times Union, reports that the defendant
in this federal class-action lawsuit, filed by car shoppers who
bought auto theft protection packages, was none other than auto
giant Billy Fuccillo.

Mr. Fuccillo's face, voice and signature catchphrase -- "It's
H-U-G-E!" -- are as well-known across upstate as snow, chicken
wings and the Adirondacks.

The Skaneateles resident and founder of Fuccillo Automotive Group
is a hugely successful businessman.  Consider this: He once sold
514 cars in one day.

But the hugest winners in this instance are the attorneys for
5,320 consumers who sued Fuccillo's operation. On Dec. 18, U.S.
District Court Senior Judge Lawrence Kahn awarded the plaintiffs'
attorneys $750,000 in legal fees as stipulated in a settlement
finalized in November.

The plaintiffs will each receive $160 of the original $295 they
paid for the service that led to the lawsuit.  That's a total of
$851,200.  And Fuccillo and his company are allowed to deny all
the allegations they faced as part of the $1.6 million settlement.

In 2009 Fuccillo's automotive group -- officially named It's Huge
Inc. -- was sued by Heidi Seekamp, a Capital Region woman who
purchased an auto theft protection package with her 2007 Hyundai
Elantra.

That was the start of a $5 million class-action suit, with
plaintiffs suing Fuccillo dealerships from East Greenbush to
Amsterdam to Syracuse to Seneca Falls.  They also sued Universal
Automotive Services, a New Jersey-based outfit that provided the
auto theft protection packages, known as Auto Theft Security
Discount Guarantees.

The protection involved permanently engraving each car or truck's
vehicle identification number on a window of the vehicle, making
it easier for police to trace the stolen part.

The packages had been sold to some 16,000 consumers from January
2003 to March 2012, court papers show.

The lawsuit alleged that the theft protection packages, each
marketed as a "warranty," violated state insurance law.

In addition, the suit alleged that the packages included decals
for a 1-800 number in a "sham claim submission process" in which
claim submissions were directed to an answering service that
accepted messages that were forwarded to an inactive pager.

"Had the truth been disclosed, none of the class members would
have purchased the product since the sale was unlawful and
provided no benefit," the suit stated.

The suit alleged that the dealerships used "intentional and
willfully underhanded methods."  It said customers paid $295 for
the anti-theft packages -- even though the cost of window etching
is between $20 and $50.

And the lawsuit said Universal Automotive Services "is not now,
and never has been, a licensed insurance carrier in New York, and
therefore is not authorized to underwrite or engage in the
business of insurance in New York."

Under the settlement, Fuccillo agreed never to market or sell the
packages again.

Sergei Lemberg, an attorney for the plaintiffs, declined comment.
Attorneys representing Fuccillo in the case referred questions to
an attorney who did not provide a comment.

and Does 1 through 50, inclusive, Case No. 5:15-cv-00184 (C.D.
Cal., January 29, 2015) is brought for damages against the
Defendants for their alleged involvement and violations of various
statutes in the manufacture, marketing, sale, repair and
fraudulent concealment of known defects to the 2014 Chevrolet
Cruze.

The Vehicle was manufactured by General Motors (now known as the
New GM).  The Plaintiffs contend that the Defendants are
responsible for several defects in the design and manufacture of,
including Safety Systems, Airbags, Ground Faults and Ignition
Failures, that caused injury to the Plaintiffs when their 2014
Chevrolet Cruze, only after two days of ownership and with
approximately 430 miles, had a catastrophic system failure of the
known defects, causing the Vehicle to malfunction, prematurely
deploying the "side curtain" airbags.  The force of the premature
airbag deployment caused one of the Plaintiffs to suffer a
Traumatic Brain Injury taking away his career as a successful
attorney in Southern California and causing his family to lose a

GIBBS SPORTS: Recalls Quadski Vehicles Due to Injury Risk
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Gibbs Sports Amphibians Inc. of Auburn Hills, Mich., announced a
voluntary recall of about 320 Quadski and Quadski XL. Consumers
should stop using this product unless otherwise instructed.  It is
illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer
product.

The handlebar can fail while the vehicle is in operation, causing
the operator to lose control of the steering and braking system of
the vehicle, posing a risk of injury.

This recall includes Gibbs' Quadski which is a one-seater and
Quadski XL which is a two-seater. The products are high speed
amphibious vehicles that are an ATV on land, and also operate on
water. The recalled vehicles have HIN numbers ranging from US-
GSA601J213 though US-GSAJ1048C414 on Quadski and US-GSAJ5001J213
though US-GSAM5203H415 on Quadski XL. HIN numbers are printed on a
plate located on the right rear corner of the vehicle. Brand and
model names are printed on the back panel and on the side of the
vehicle.

No consumer incidents have been reported. Three reports of
breakage during testing have been reported; one involved injury to
the neck of the test operator.

The recalled products were manufactured in United States and sold
at Gibbs Sports Amphibians dealers nationwide from January 2012
through October 2014 for about $42,000.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and
contact an authorized dealer for a repair at no cost.


GOOGLE INC: Says FTC Settlement Requires Class Action Dismissal
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wendy Davis, writing for MediaPost, reports that Google recently
agreed to refund at least $19 million in order to settle "family
fraud" charges that it unfairly billed parents for their
children's in-app purchases.

The settlement, which was finalized in December, resolved FTC
allegations that Google allowed young children to rack up charges
on their parents' credit cards by making in-app purchases.

Now, Google says in court papers that its settlement with the FTC
requires dismissal of a class-action lawsuit by parents who say
they were wrongly billed for in-app purchases by their children.
"Plaintiffs in this case will obtain all of the relief to which
they would otherwise be entitled and, therefore, there is no basis
for this class action to proceed," Google says in a status report
filed on Jan. 16 with U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte in
San Jose, Calif.

The company adds that it has asked the parents who sued to drop
the case, but that they have refused. "In light of Plaintiffs'
refusal, Google intends to file a motion to deny certification of
the proposed class and requests a briefing schedule to resolve
that issue," the company says.

The parents say in court papers that they "strongly disagree" with
Google's position.

The lawsuit, filed as a potential class-action in March by New
York resident Ilana Imber-Gluck, alleged that one of her two young
sons, both of whom were then under 6, purchased $65.95 worth of
in-game currency shortly after she downloaded the 99-cent app "Run
Jump Smash."

Ms. Imber-Gluck said in her complaint that Google allows parents
to purchase cheap apps for their children, but doesn't adequately
disclose that kids will be able to automatically purchase in-game
currency for a period of 30 minutes.  Other parents later joined
in the case.

Advertising law expert Rebecca Tushnet, a professor at Georgetown
Law, says that Google has a good chance of prevailing with its bid
to dismiss the case, but adds that the outcome is uncertain.

She says that some courts have ruled that companies must face
class-actions even when they offer refunds -- but that's often
because consumers don't know that refunds are available.  "In this
case, though, Google isn't just offering a refund, it's contacting
purchasers and telling them they're eligible, so continuing the
class action won't get more money for the class," she says in an
email to Online Media Daily.

JANSSEN PHARMA: Lawyer Grills Plaintiff Witness in Risperdal Trial
------------------------------------------------------------------
P.J. D'Annunzio, writing for Law.com, reports that in a
contentious cross-examination of former FDA Commissioner Dr. David
Kessler by Janssen Pharmaceuticals' counsel, defense lawyer Diane
Sullivan -- diane.sullivan@weil.com -- grilled Dr. Kessler over
his fees and testimony in other drug cases.

Ms. Sullivan began her cross-examination Jan. 30 after the
plaintiff's lawyer, Thomas R. Kline -- Tom.Kline@KlineSpecter.com
-- of Kline & Specter, had concluded his questioning of Kessler in
the failure-to-warn case. The cross-examination was peppered with
objections from Kline and instances where Philadelphia Court of
Common Pleas Judge Ramy I. Djerassi told Ms. Sullivan to stop
cutting off the witness while he answered her questions.

Repeating Dr. Kessler's testimony from the day prior that drug
companies had to "tell the whole truth" to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration about their research, Ms. Sullivan asked
Dr. Kessler, "You didn't tell the jury the whole truth in this
case here, did you Dr. Kessler?"

Dr. Kessler asked Ms. Sullivan to point out instances where he
wasn't truthful and Ms. Sullivan alleged that he was "cherry-
picking" details from Janssen emails detailing findings that
Risperdal increased levels of the hormone prolactin, and by
extension, instances of female breast tissue growth in boys.

Particularly, Ms. Sullivan focused on Dr. Kessler's testimony that
endocrinologists outside of Janssen reviewing a study of Risperdal
told Janssen to include information relating to gynecomastia in
boys over 10 years old.  Ms. Sullivan said the opposite was true;
it was Janssen that wanted to include all the details of the study
while the outside endocrinologists wanted that data omitted from
the final version of the study.

Ms. Sullivan pointed to the last page of a Janssen company email
in which an official wrote "I have no problem" including all
gynecomastia data in the study.  Ms. Sullivan said Dr. Kessler
talked about that email during direct examination, but neglected
to mention the last page to the jury.

Ms. Sullivan then moved on to the subject of Dr. Kessler's rates
for expert witness services, which Dr. Kessler acknowledged was
$1,000 per hour.  Dr. Kessler testified previously in the trial
that he had spent roughly 275 hours reviewing documents in the
case.

Additionally, Ms. Sullivan recalled Dr. Kessler's history of
testifying in cases involving other pharmaceutical companies such
as Merck, Bayer and Eli Lilly, which she said showed a pattern of
offering opinions against companies at the request of plaintiffs
lawyers.

Dr. Kessler said Ms. Sullivan's statement was inaccurate and that
he sometimes testified on behalf of pharmaceutical companies, and
in other instances, was asked by the attorneys general of Utah,
Louisiana and Kentucky to testify against Merck.

"You testify against pharma companies so much you just cut and
paste your expert reports," Ms. Sullivan said.

Mr. Kline objected and Judge Djerassi sustained, telling Sullivan,
"I think you should know better than that."

Afterward, Mr. Sullivan continued, again asserting that
Dr. Kessler consistently testified that drug companies failed to
warn "each and every time you raised your hand for $1,000 an
hour."

Mr. Kline again objected, and Judge Djerassi sustained.

"I would advise you to be careful," Judge Djerassi told Ms.
Sullivan.

Ms. Sullivan moved on, telling Dr. Kessler the FDA did not agree
with him that Risperdal was unsafe.

Dr. Kessler asked Ms. Sullivan to show him in the record where he
said Risperdal was unsafe.  He added that he wasn't at trial to
testify as to whether the drug was safe for certain uses, but for
Janssen's alleged failure to warn.

"Do you agree with the FDA that this drug is safe?" Ms. Sullivan
asked.

"No," Dr. Kessler replied.

Ms. Sullivan added the FDA never reached the same conclusions as
Dr. Kessler.  However, Dr. Kessler said the FDA didn't have all
the facts from Janssen.

After the jury was excused for a brief recess, Ms. Sullivan asked
the court for the admission of a document from the FDA that
allegedly explains its stance that Risperdal was safe.

That document, Ms. Sullivan told the court, was a response to a
citizen's petition sent to the FDA by Sheller P.C., co-counsel to
Kline & Specter in the case.


LAZY ONE: Recalls Children's Pajamas Due to Burn Hazard
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Lazy One, Inc., of North Logan, Utah, announced a voluntary recall

using this product unless otherwise instructed.  It is illegal to
resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

The footed pajamas and robes fail to meet the federal flammability
standard for children's sleepwear, posing a burn hazard to
children.

This recall involves 100% polyester Lazy One children's sleepwear
garments, including footed pajamas and two robes. The one-piece
"footeez" style footed zip-up pajama is beige with a red, pink,
blue and yellow owl print with the wording "I'm OWL yours.' It has
blue trim at the neck, cuff and right-hand side single pocket. The
pajama has a foot-to-neck zipper, non-slip soles and a rear
opening on the behind. It was sold in sizes children's small
through extra-large. One of the recalled robes is pink with moose
graphics and "Don't Moose With Me" printed on it. It has solid
green trim, two front pockets and belt. The second robe is red
with printed moose graphics and solid black trim, two front
pockets and belt. Both robes were sold in sizes 4T through 14.
"Lazy One", the size and "Made in China" are printed on the
garments' neck label. Garments with "Flame Resistant" printed on
the neck label are not included in this recall.

No consumer injuries have been reported.

The recalled products were manufactured in China and sold at
Department stores and children's boutiques nationwide and online
at www.lazyone.com from October 2013 through June 2014 for about
$22 for the pajamas and about $15 for the robes.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled pajamas and robes
away from children and return them to Lazy One for a free
replacement garment, including shipping.

LEARNING CURVE: Recalls VIA I470C Model Child Restraints
--------------------------------------------------------
Starting date:            December 19, 2014
Posting date:             December 19, 2014
Type of communication:    Consumer Product Recall
Subcategory:              Children's Products
Source of recall:         Health Canada
Issue:                    Product Safety
Audience:                 General Public
Identification number:    RA-42973

Affected products: Learning Curve VIA I470C model child restraints

The recall involves various Learning Curve VIA I470C infant car
seats.  The model number, item number, manufacture date code and
the words "Learning Curve" appear on the sticker on the back of
the products.  The brand name "The First Years" is found on the
visor of the car seat, while the brand name "Lamaze" is found on
the front of the car seat.

Testing by Transport Canada's compliance program has revealed that
these products do not meet current head and chest injury limits.
These regulatory limits help ensure the safety of the child in the
restraint system.  Additionally, it was found during a simulated
crash test the adjustable recline foot might not remain in its
proper position which might introduce slack in the vehicle seat
belt or Universal Anchorage System (UAS) belt.  In the event of a
secondary collision, theoretically the loose seat could increase
zhe risk of injury to the infant in the car seat or other people
in the vehicle.

Neither Learning Curve nor Health Canada has received any reports
of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these
child restraints in Canada.

Approximately 6,117 of the recalled products were sold in Canada
by various retailers.

The recalled products were manufactured in China and sold from
June 2011 to March 2014.

Companies:

   Distributor     Learning Curve Brands Inc.
                   Dyersville
                   Iowa
                   United States

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled child
restraints and dispose of the car seats as per municipal
guidelines, and in such a way that the product can no longer be
used.

MERIX FINANCIAL: March 21 Settlement Opt-In Deadline Set
--------------------------------------------------------
Merix Financial Inc. and Paradigm Quest Inc.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Class Action
Settlement Agreement Approved By Court

Jeremy Bell and Mackenzie Bell v. Merix Financial Inc. and
Paradigm Quest Inc., British Columbia Supreme Court, Vancouver
Registry No. S-105301

What is this notice?

A proposed class action was started by the plaintiffs, Jeremy Bell
and Mackenzie Bell, on behalf of borrowers under Merix-branded
adjustable or variable-rate mortgages, including borrowers under
locked-in portions of Merix-branded Home Equity Lines of Credit,
regarding the adjustment of interest rates under these mortgages
(the "Adjustable Rate Mortgages").

The defendants, Merix Financial Inc. and Paradigm Quest Inc., have
at all times implemented changes to the interest rate on
Adjustable Rate Mortgages effective as of each borrower's next
scheduled payment date after a change in the prime rate,
regardless of whether the prime rate rose or fell on any
particular occasion.  Merix and Paradigm allege that this method
of adjustment was consistent both with the mortgage contracts and
with notices sent to the borrowers.  The plaintiffs allege that
the defendants were required to adjust the interest rates in
effect for Adjustable Rate Mortgages on the day that applicable
prime rate changed, and were not entitled to implement the new
rate effective as of each borrower's next regular mortgage payment
date.

Merix and Paradigm deny the plaintiffs' allegations and any
wrongdoing or liability.  The court has not taken any position as
to the trust or merit of the claims or defenses asserted by either
side.

A settlement agreement has been recommended by the plaintiffs'
lawyers and has been approved by the court.  If you are or were a
borrower under an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, or under the locked-in
portion of a Home Equity Line of Credit, you may be a potential
settlement class member in this action.  Your legal rights may be
affected by the settlement agreement.

What are the terms of the settlement?

Under the proposed settlement agreement, Merix and Paradigm will
pay CAD$525,000 into a trust account.  After court-approved legal
fees, taxes, disbursements and administration fees are deducted,
the money will be distributed on a proportionate basis to all
settlement class members who have paid more interest under an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage than would have been payable had the
applicable interest rate been adjusted on the day that the
applicable prime rate changed.

You can read the full settlement agreement online at:

http://constructionlawgroup.ca/merix-settlement

Do I have to do anything to participate in the settlement?

If you live in British Columbia you will be automatically included
in the settlement class, unless you choose to opt-out.  If you
have paid more interest under an Adjustable Rate than would have
been payable had the interest rates in effect been adjusted on the
day that applicable prime rate changed, you may be entitled to
payment from the settlement fund.

If you live outside British Columbia and if you wish to
participate in the settlement, you will need to opt-in to the
settlement agreement by submitting an opt-in form.  You must
complete and return the opt-in form to the following address
before March 21, 2015:

PO Box 17027 Yonge & King
Toronto, ON
MSE 1Y2

Will I have to pay anything?

You do not have to pay anything.  The court has approved legal
fees (exclusive of taxes) and disbursements of class counsel in
the amount of $127,600.00 as fair and reasonable.  This sum will
be deducted from the total settlement before it is distributed to
eligible settlement class members.

What if I don't want to take part?

If you live in British Columbia and do not want to take part, you
have to opt out of the action by completing an opt-out form and
returning it to Paradigm Quest Inc. at the address given above by
March 21, 2015.  If you opt out you will not be bound by the
results of this lawsuit, but you will not receive any benefits
under the settlement.

How can I get more information?

MIDWEST POULTRY: Grocery Stores Can Present Expert Witness
----------------------------------------------------------
Saranac Hale Spencer, writing for Law.com, reports that the
grocery stores and restaurants that have alleged price-fixing
among the country's major egg producers can present an economist
as an expert witness while they seek to get class certification,
the federal judge handling the case has ruled.

U.S. District Judge Gene E.K. Pratter of the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania announced the decision in an opinion in In re
Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation.

Since 1993, when the U.S. Supreme Court issued the standards to
which expert witnesses are to be held in its decision in Daubert
v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, district courts have played the
role of gatekeeper, ensuring that expert witnesses offer reliable
scientific evidence to the courts.

It is less than crystal clear how those standards are to be
applied at the class certification stage.

"A threshold question is whether, and to what extent, Daubert
applies at the class certification stage," Judge Pratter wrote.
"Although there is no definitive Third Circuit precedent on point,
the general consensus appears to be that the court should subject
expert witnesses to Daubert scrutiny at the class certification
stage of the litigation."

She cited to two major cases in Pennsylvania federal courts in
recent years -- In re Chocolate Confectionary Antitrust
Litigation, which was in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and
In re Flonase Antitrust Litigation, which was also in the Eastern
District -- as well as dicta from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2011
decision in Wal-Mart v. Dukes for support.

The issues examined in a Daubert hearing for an expert about class
certification are likely to overlap with substantive issues to be
weighed in the ultimate decision, Judge Pratter explained.

"That is because the reliability of the means of proving classwide
impact frequently factors into the predominance determination in
antitrust class actions," she said.

Referring to the proposed expert, Gordon Rausser, Judge Pratter
said, "The court need not find that Dr. Rausser's methods are, by
themselves, sufficient to show, say, a common impact or that there
is a reliable means of proving damages on a classwide basis --
only that his methods are reliable and useful to the questions to
be addressed at class certification.  Therefore, though some
extent of overlap is inevitable, deeming Dr. Rausser's expert
testimony admissible under Daubert does not preclude the court
from denying class certification."

The defendants in the case, the egg producers, had argued that
Dr. Rausser's model for prices in the egg market wouldn't pass the
standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2013 decision in
Comcast v. Behrend, which came out of the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.

There, the Supreme Court cited to Dukes, which had rejected a
class certification for more than a million women who alleged that
Wal-Mart maintained a system of gender discrimination in its pay
and promotion policies.

In the Comcast decision, the majority of the divided Supreme Court
had ruled the model the plaintiffs had offered to the trial court
in order to show their common injury, that Comcast's practice of
excluding competitors had resulted in higher costs for cable
subscribers, didn't actually satisfy the federal rule requiring
predominance of an issue in order to get class certification.

When the Third Circuit upheld the district court's opinion, it had
ruled that at the certification stage, plaintiffs need not "tie
each theory of antitrust impact to an exact calculation of
damages."

However, the Supreme Court disagreed.  Class determination, the
majority said, quoting from an earlier case, "generally involves
considerations that are enmeshed in the factual and legal issues
comprising the plaintiff's cause of action.  It is clear that,
under the proper standard for evaluating certification,
respondents' model falls far short of establishing that damages
are capable of measurement on a classwide basis."

The egg producers tied their argument to a similar idea.

"Defendants argue that Dr. Rausser's regression, which models
price, not supply or flock size, does not fit the plaintiffs'
theory that defendants conspired to reduce the supply of egg-
laying hens," Judge Pratter said.  "Defendants argue that in light
of the Supreme Court's decision in Comcast, the failure to closely
tie the model exhibiting damages to the theory of the injury makes
the model unreliable."

Dr. Rausser had defended his method by arguing that "the
evidentiary record shows a constraint on the growth of supply, so
he does not need a model to demonstrate it -- his model just
measures the extent to which it caused prices to go up as a way of
showing classwide impact," Judge Pratter said.

She agreed with the plaintiffs that Comcast wouldn't bar
Dr. Rausser's model at this point in the litigation.

"Without making any pronouncements about the ultimate ability of
direct purchaser plaintiffs to clear the Comcast bar, the court
notes simply that, for Daubert purposes at least, the model
proposed by Dr. Rausser is reliable and fits the case," Judge
Pratter said.

The defendants in the case are Midwest Poultry Services, LP,
National Food Corporation, and United Egg Producers/United States
Egg Marketers.


NANNYS FOR GRANNYS: Retaliation Claims in FLSA Suit Dismissed
-------------------------------------------------------------
JUANICA HENRY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. NANNYS FOR GRANNYS INC., et
al., Defendants, NO. 13-CV-2264 (SLT)(LB), (E.D. N.Y.) alleges
violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and New York
Labor Law ("NYLL"). Defendants moved the Court to dismiss
Plaintiffs' amended complaint in its entirety.  Defendants chiefly
argued that Plaintiffs fall within the "companionship" exemptions
to the FLSA and NYLL.

District Judge Sandra L. Townes, in a memorandum & order dated
January 20, 2015, a copy of which is available at
http://is.gd/XYHMwnfrom Leagle.com, held that Defendants' motion
to dismiss is denied in part but granted to the extent it seeks
dismissal of the retaliation claims brought by Williams, Francis,
Dellemann, Morton, and France.

Defendants' motion to dismiss the portions of Plaintiffs' FLSA
claims outside the two-year limitations period is denied, ruled
Judge Townes.

---------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit titled HD Transportation Inc., et al. v.
Navistar, Inc., Case No. 0:15-cv-00055, was transferred from the

to the proceeding.

The case is consolidated in the multidistrict litigation captioned

In the case, JAMES DAVID COOPER, JR., Plaintiff, v. NELNET, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 6:14-cv-314-Orl-37DAB (M.D. Fla.), District

PDC ENERGY: Ordered to Provide Lists of Putative Members
--------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe denied Defendant's Motion for
Protective Order in the case captioned BUDDY BAKER, on behalf of
himself and a class of similarly situated royalty owners,
Plaintiff, v. PDC ENERGY, INC., and DCP MIDSTREAM, LP, Defendants,
Civil Action No. 14-cv-02537-RM-MJW (D. Colo.).

Plaintiff Buddy Baker ("Baker") filed a class action against PDC
Energy, Inc., and DCP Midstream, LP ("Defendants").

Baker moved to remand arguing that the home state exception under
the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 applies and that the primary
defendants and over two-thirds of the putative class members are
Colorado citizens, therefore, the Court must decline to exercise
jurisdiction.

Meantime, Baker requested for the names and addresses of the
putative class members by arguing that he needs the information to
establish the CAFA exception.

Defendants removed, invoking jurisdiction under the CAFA and
argued that Plaintiff is not entitled to such information until
the class-certification stage. Defendants also moved for a
protective order barring discovery of the identities and addresses
of putative class members.

In his Order denying Defendant's Motion for Protective Order,
Magistrate Judge Watanabe ruled that Plaintiff has made a
sufficient showing that the home-state exception applies and its
limited discovery is appropriate because discovery would only
impose a de minimis burden on Defendants. Also, Judge Watanabe
held that the requested information appears to be readily
ascertainable since Defendants are making payments to all members
of the putative class, pursuant to a previous class-action
settlement. Presumably, they already have some sort of list kept
for this purpose, or some type of database from which a list can
be quickly developed.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Performance Packaging, of Las Vegas, Nevada, announced a voluntary
recall of about 6,000 The PouchPop(TM) Topper. Consumers should
stop using this product unless otherwise instructed.  It is

food pouch that allow infants to feed themselves. The PouchPops
were sold in a four-pack of four colors including green, orange,
red and yellow and have a cylinder-shaped tube stem that attaches
to a round base. The pouch toppers have a "SipP" logo and smiley
face embossed on the circular base.

The firm has received four reports of breaks above the round base
of the toppers. No injuries have been reported.

RUBY TUESDAY: Faces Sex Discrimination Suit
-------------------------------------------
Rebekah Mintzer, writing for Corporate Counsel, reports that
Ruby Tuesday Inc. is a restaurant chain known throughout the U.S.
for its burgers and casual family-friendly atmosphere.
Unfortunately for the company, the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission apparently wants to make it known for
something less savory: a novel approach to sex discrimination.

EEOC v. Ruby Tuesday isn't the typical case on the discrimination
menu.  The plaintiffs claiming discrimination based on their
gender are men, which is still relatively rare.  What's even more
unusual is that the charges stem not from a direct employment
action per se, but from a decision regarding employee housing.

In the suit, filed by the commission on Jan. 22 in federal court,
Andrew Herrera, a Ruby Tuesday employee in Oregon, claims he was
discriminated against because he and other male employees were
deprived of the opportunity in the summer of 2013 to apply for
temporary server or bartender positions with the company in Park
City, Utah.  The internal job posting for positions in the resort
town, which was made available to employees based in Utah, Oregon
and seven other states, asked specifically for female applicants
only.  According to the EEOC's announcement, the company
supposedly asked for female applicants because the job also
included housing provided by Ruby Tuesday, and the company did not
want to house men and women together.

It's easy to guess why Ruby Tuesday may have wanted to avoid
putting men and women in the same housing, perhaps because of the
increased risk of a sexual harassment suit.  Even if this was the
case, it didn't matter to Mr. Herrera and Joshua Bell, another
employee.  After failing to resolve the issue with their employer,
they are now asking the court to make the restaurant chain stop
its allegedly discriminatory practices and compensate them for the
opportunities they missed in Utah.

J. Hagood Tighe -- htighe@laborlawyers.com -- a partner at Fisher
& Phillips who works on employment discrimination cases, told
CorpCounsel.com that most cases alleging sex discrimination under
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act deal more with the particulars
of the job description, rather than where employees are housed.
"Usually when you're talking about an issue like this, you're
really focusing on the job itself," he said.

In order to prove that someone's sex is a legally acceptable
reason to decline to hire them, companies must prove that for that
particular job, sex is a bona fide occupational qualification
(BFOQ).  For example, Mr. Tighe explained, there have been claims
that sex is a BFOQ in prison guard jobs, where guards need to
accompany inmates into bathrooms and showers, and sometimes courts
have agreed.  However, it's usually difficult to prove gender is a
BFOQ. "There have been many efforts, but not many successes from
an employer's standpoint on BFOQ," Mr. Tighe said.

Although he is not working on this case and has no knowledge of
the facts beyond publicly available documents, Mr. Tighe suspects
that perhaps Ruby Tuesday knows some additional information that
could bolster its arguments.  Or else why not just settle,
considering the sum owed to the plaintiffs would be relatively
small for a large company? For now, only Ruby Tuesday knows.

So how can employers avoid being on the receiving end of the kinds
of charges the EEOC cooked up for this restaurant chain? The
answer is pretty simple: don't disallow men or women from applying
for a job.

"Employers should really not be making hiring or employment
decisions based on gender or any other protected classification,"
Mr. Tighe noted.  "Ruby Tuesday may very well have a good defense
and may one day win the case.  But even if they do, the general
rule for 99.9 percent of the time is that they should not be
making decisions based on any protected classification."

SOURCE NETWORK: Recalls Portable Space Heaters
----------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Source Network Sales and Marketing, LLC d/b/a/ Lifesmart, of
Plano, Texas, announced a voluntary recall of about 17,000
Portable Space Heaters. Consumers should stop using this product
unless otherwise instructed.  It is illegal to resell or attempt
to resell a recalled consumer product.

The screws used to attach the back plate to the heater are too
short and allow the back plate to detach when removing the heater
from the outlet, posing an electrical shock hazard to the user.

This recall is for Lifepro brand portable infrared quartz space
heater models LS-IQH-DMICRO and LS-IQH-MICRO. The recalled heaters
are about 6 1/2 inches tall x 5 inches wide x 3 3/4 inches deep
and made of black plastic. They have a three-prong plug built into
the back to allow them to be plugged directly into an electrical
outlet. The Lifepro logo is molded into the front bottom of the
heaters. Model LS-IQH-DMICRO is a 400-watt heater with digital
display on the top. Model LS-IQH-MICRO is a 450-watt heater with
no display. The model name and wattage are printed on a label on
the back of each heater below the plug.

No consumer injuries have been reported.

Pictures of the Recalled Products available at:

The recalled products were manufactured in China and sold at
Meijer stores, Northern Tool stores, QCI Direct stores and Tuesday
Morning stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, BJs.com,
HomeDepot.com, QCIDirect.com, Samsclub.com, Walmart.com and
Wayfair.com from January 2014 through December 2014 for between
$40 and $50.

Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled
space heaters and contact Lifesmart to receive either a free

how to install them; a free replacement heater with the modified
screws; or a full refund.

SUMMERLIN HOSPITAL: Judge Postpones TB Class Action Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that a Nevada judge postponed a
hearing whether to grant class-action status to plaintiffs
alleging a Las Vegas hospital failed to properly protect them from
a tuberculosis outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Clark County District Court Judge Kenneth Cory heard several bids
on Jan. 20 by Summerlin Hospital and its parent corporations to
dismiss the case.

John Cotton, lawyer for the hospital, said some of those summary
judgment issues remain unresolved.

Cory reset class-action arguments for Feb. 3.

Matthew Callister, attorney for plaintiffs Lara Snyder and others,
says he's identified at least 25 people who tested positive for
the contagious lung disease.  Mr. Callister seeks class status for
a November 2013 negligence lawsuit filed representing people
claiming exposure to a tuberculosis-infected woman and newborn
twins born in May 2013 at Summerlin Hospital.


SYNGENTA CORP: "Crymes" Suit Consolidated in MIR162 Corn MDL
------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit titled Crymes, et al. v. Syngenta Corp.,
et al., Case No. 3:15-cv-00078, was transferred from the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Louisiana to the U.S.
District Court for the District of Kansas (Kansas City).  The
Kansas District Court Clerk assigned Case No. 2:15-cv-02302-JWL-
JPO to the proceeding.

The lawsuit is consolidated in the multidistrict litigation known
as In re: Syngenta AG MIR162 Corn Litigation, MDL No. 2:14-md-
02591-JWL-JPO.

The cases concern the Syngenta defendants' alleged decision to
commercialize corn seeds containing a genetically modified trait,
known as "MIR162," that reportedly controls certain insects.  Corn
with this trait has entered U.S. corn stocks but has not been
approved for import by the Chinese government, which has imposed a
complete ban on U.S. corn with this trait.  The Plaintiffs are
corn growers and grain exporters, who allegedly suffered economic
losses resulting from China's refusal to accept MIR162 corn.

TEMPLETON RYE: Seeks Mediation on Two Fraud Class Actions
---------------------------------------------------------
Grant Rodgers, writing for The Des Moines Register, reports that
two class-action lawsuits accusing Templeton Rye of consumer fraud
are on hold for mediation, a sign that the embattled Iowa whiskey-
maker could be looking to settle before trial.

The company faces three class-action lawsuits after admitting in
August that its rye whiskey uses a stock recipe distilled in
Indiana as its base.  The lawsuits claim Templeton Rye
purposefully deceived drinkers with claims that its whiskey is
made in Iowa, using a Prohibition-era recipe handed down by a co-
founder's grandfather.

In a November motion, attorneys notified U.S. District Court Judge
Joan Gottschall of mediation proceedings between the whiskey-maker
and two Chicago firms suing the company, according to court
records.  A report on the mediation is due by Feb. 6.

Mediation is often a cheaper alternative to trying a class-action
lawsuit in front of a jury, said Ray Johnson, a West Des Moines
attorney who litigates consumer-fraud cases.  Mediation also
suggests that the parties are trying to settle, he said.

"If it's something that goes to mediation, more often than not
it's going to settle," he said. "But that's not always the case."

Templeton Rye co-founder Keith Kerkhoff declined to comment on the
pending litigation.

Chicago law firm Edelson PC filed the first lawsuit Sept. 9 in an
Illinois state court on behalf of Templeton Rye drinker
Christopher McNair.  Two weeks later, Chicago firm Zimmerman Law
Offices filed its own lawsuit.

Mr. McNair's lawsuit was moved to federal court in the Northern
District of Illinois shortly after its filing.  A third lawsuit on
behalf of two Iowa drinkers was filed in Polk County District
Court in October by West Des Moines attorney Randy Wilharber.

Mr. Wilharber declined to speak with a reporter on Jan. 19 about
the status of the lawsuit or whether he's participating in
mediation with the Chicago attorneys.

Currently, none of the lawsuits has received class-action
certification from a judge, court records show.  That stamp of
approval is necessary to allow attorneys to move forward on behalf
of multiple drinkers who bought Templeton Rye.  Class
certification could increase the costs for the whiskey maker and
is likely one issue being discussed in mediation, Mr. Johnson
said.

Mr. Kerkhoff denied the consumer fraud claims in an October
interview with The Des Moines Register.  Before launching the
product, Mr. Kerkhoff said Templeton Rye hired a flavor
engineering company based in Louisville, Ky., to design a list of
ingredients that could match the taste of the Kerkhoff family
recipe.  He said Templeton Rye calls itself "made in Iowa" because
ingredients are added to the stock whiskey at the company's
facility in Templeton.

If a settlement is reached, it's possible that Templeton Rye
purchasers could receive a future discount on the whiskey,
Mr. Johnson said.  Coupons made available online are often used in
such cases.

Attorneys with both Edelson PC and Zimmerman Law Offices declined
to comment or did not return phone calls.

"Information is everything when it comes to settling a case,"
Mr. Johnson said.  "Generally when you're negotiating a settlement
or anything, you want to give information when it's time to give
information."


TS STAFFING: "Roa" Overtime Suit Stays in Federal District Court
----------------------------------------------------------------
Carmen Roa filed a putative class action complaint in California
state court against her former employers, TS Staffing Services,
Inc. and T.S. Employment, Inc.  The Complaint alleges numerous

four-year period.

TS Staffing removed the case pursuant to the Class Action Fairness

Roa filed a Motion to Remand.

In a January 22, 2015 Order available at http://is.gd/jrcGuefrom
Leagle.com, District Judge Otis D. Wright, II, denied the Motion
to Remand.

ULTIMATE FIGHTING: Ex-Champion Discusses Antitrust Class Action
---------------------------------------------------------------
Karim Zidan, writing for Bloody Elbow, reports that former UFC
champion Pat Miletich discusses the class action anti-trust
lawsuit levied against the UFC, as well as the possibility of an
MMA union or association for fighters.

Last December, it was revealed that several high profile fighters
had filed a class action anti-trust lawsuit against the UFC worth
$100 million.  Since the time of the initial filing, two more
lawsuits have been added to the original one -- both nearly
identical.

Within the lawsuit, the UFC is accused of issues such as
monopolistic control of the market by buying of competitors to
lessen a fighter's likeness.  While former champion Pat Miletich
is not one of the named plaintiffs on any of the lawsuits, he does
see a point when scrutinizing the contract stipulations of low-end
fighters on the roster.

"Well in terms of the contracts, you know it's a situation where
one organization having a great deal of power and making you sign
a contract that includes signing away your likeness and the rights
to that likeness for as long as the company wants to use it,"
Mr. Miletich told Submission Radio.  "The champion's clause, where
if I have the belt underneath an organization, I can't walk and
look for [another company] at the end of my contract.  If I'm a
champion there's always another fight that I have to fulfill no
matter what, and there's a few other things in the contract that,
you know, that I haven't looked at one of them for a long time,
but I'm assuming for the most part that they're similar to that.

"And a lot of guys have complained about it of late who are still
athletes and they concur with some of those things.  So the
restrictive nature of the contracts are pretty tough to deal with
I think for the athletes, and also on top of that, not being able
to get the sponsors that you want unless those sponsors pay a fee
to the promoter or the promotion before they can sponsor athletes,
and it goes on down the line.  So it makes it tough for the
athletes."

Well aware of the costs of being a professional fighter working up
the ranks, Mr. Miletich suggests that many fighters are likely to
be in debt because their initial purses with the company simply do
not allow them to make ends meet.

"You have to figure, if I'm getting whatever it is now 8,000 to
show up in any organization, my medicals cost quite a bit of money
to go through, I have to pay my manager, I have to pay my
trainers, I have to pay taxes.  So by the time I get done getting
paid, I actually might be in the hole a little bit.  So it's
pretty tough.  And on top of that now with restricting sponsors,
it's very tough for the guys trying to come up and break in
through the upper ranks."

While the recent lawsuit has simultaneously rekindled talks of a
potential union in MMA, Mr. Miletich doubts that such a drastic
change can come to fruition anytime soon, mainly because of how
difficult it is for individual athletes in solo sports to join
together.

"I think a union is very tough to pull off because of the
independent contractor status of the athletes.  It's not like they
are members of a team that pays them as they do in baseball and
football and things like that.  So it's very difficult to do that.

"What are the union fees going to be? You know? When guys are only
fighting four times a year, three times a year, some two times a
year, how do you work that out? What are the benefits of it? I'm
not necessarily a guy that would support a fighters union.  If the
contracts were adjusted to be more fair to the athletes and give
them more power in the future in the direction of their career, I
think that's sufficient.  I'm a guy that's a big believer in the
free market system and the guys that perform the best get paid the
most and put buts in seats. so that's really what I comes down to.
So [I'm] not necessarily a guy that supports a fighters union, and
on top of that it would be very tough to pull off."


UNITED STATES: Oakwood Villa Residents to Join Mold Class Action
----------------------------------------------------------------
Action News is taking action for several apartment complexes in
the process of suing over mold complaints.

According to Action News' Cole Heath, neighbors living at Willow
Lakes and Oakwood Villas apartments in Arlington join four other
complexes in the suit.

Neighbors at Oakwood Villas said management told them it's up to
them to clean the mold.

Action News Law and Safety Expert Dale Carson said it can fall on
residents to clean mold in places such as surfaces, but the
landlord must cover the cost of eliminating mold in structural
places such as sheet rock.

Neighbors said they've encountered both and face health issues
because of it.

"It is the landlords responsibility to make the property habitable
for the individual tenants," Carson said.

More people are joining this federal lawsuit against six local
apartment complexes, Housing and Urban Development and Veterans
Affairs.

Action News was told the lawsuit will be filed in about a month.

WYNDHAM VACATION: "Hudgens" FLSA Case Can't Proceed as Class Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Richard Smoak in Panama City, Florida, denied
Plaintiffs' Motion to Conditionally Certify FLSA Collective Action
and Facilitate Notice to Potential Class Members in the case
captioned as, WAYMON HUDGENS, on behalf of Himself and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. WYNDHAM VACATION OWNERSHIP,
INC., a Foreign Profit Corporation, WYNDHAM VACATION RESPORTS,
INC., a Delaware Corporation, WYNDHAM WORLDWIDE OPERATIONS, INC.,
a Foreign Profit Corporation, Defendants, Case No. 5:14-cv-200-RS-
EMT (N.D. Fla.).

The Defendants opposed the request for certification.

Wyndham operates more than 185 vacation ownership resorts
worldwide, and has one resort in Panama City Beach, Florida. The
Wyndham resort that is the subject of this lawsuit is located at
14700 Front Beach Road, Panama City Beach, FL 32413. Plaintiff
filed this lawsuit on behalf of himself and other Sales Reps to
recover overtime compensation for hours these individuals worked
without being paid. To date, five Sales Reps have come forward to
participate in this case by opting-in to this matter. These Sales
Reps are Waymon Hudgens, Christina Hammer, Matthew Jones, Scott
Raven, and Elwyn Smith.

"There is a putative class of approximately 225 sales
representatives, each requiring a fact-specific inquiry into their
claims to determine the over-time hours worked by each
representative. Because of the complex and varying payment
schemes, this case is not appropriate for conditional
certification. Likewise, plaintiffs have failed to provide
substantial allegations of class-wide discrimination. Accordingly,
I find that Plaintiffs have failed to meet the burden of showing
that there are similarly situated sales representatives who desire
to opt-into this action," Judge Smoak said.
