ABBOTT LABORATORIES: 7th Cir. Reluctant to Revive Depakote Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jack Bouboushian at Courthouse News Service reports that the 7th
Circuit seemed reluctant February 20 to revive claims by health
benefit plans that reimbursed members for Depakote, an anti-
seizure drug that Abbott Laboratories has admitted to marketing
improperly.

Abbott Laboratories has already faced four False Claims Act suits
over Depakote, settling them in 2012 for $1.6 billion, and the
drugmaker had admitted to previous improper marketing of Depakote
for off-label purposes.

In this phase of the billion-dollar litigation, the plaintiffs are
multi-employer health benefit plans and service funds.  They
sought in 2013 to represent a class of third-party payers who, on
behalf of their members, reimbursed or paid for Depakote that
Abbott allegedly marketed for the treatment of dementia without
approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

A federal judge allowed a later shareholder suit, but U.S.
District Judge Sara Ellis threw out the RICO claims by the benefit
plans in this case for missing the statute of limitations.

"The funds allege they began paying for these prescriptions in
1998, and it was at that point that the funds could or should have
discovered they were paying for off-label uses," she wrote.  "A
reasonable plaintiff would have.  The funds' broad statement that
Abbott concealed its involvement in the marketing of Depakote is
not enough to excuse their lack of diligence."

Still able to refile their dismissed state-law claims, the
plaintiffs took the RICO issue to the 7th Circuit.  Their
attorney, James Sabella, insisted that normal diligence would not
have made a difference.

"The court dismissed the case not on the facts, but on its
speculation as to when a reasonable plan would have brought suit,"
he told the three-judge panel.

Judge Kenneth Ripple cut in: "But do we have any idea when the
payers became aware?"

"Not at all," Sabella replied. "We need more fact-finding.  They
didn't know the prescriptions were off-label."

Judge John Tinder failed to throw the attorney off by noting that
"a plan doesn't just pay any prescription."

"Actually that's a factual issue," Sabella said.  "Plans generally
pay if a doctor prescribes it.  Every plan pays for thousands of
prescriptions, and doctors often write prescriptions off-label."

Tinder pointed out that Abbott was being investigated as early as
2005, but Sabella insisted that this was not enough.

"I don't think that just paying a prescription amounts to
discovery of the issue," he said.

"The defense talks about qui tam suits being unsealed in 2011,"
the attorney added.  "That's hardly the kind of thing insurers can
discover, just a couple suits."

Citing 11th Circuit precedent, Sabella concluded: "The insurers
had to pay if the drug was prescribed, whether for approved or
off-label use."

Defense attorney William Cavanaugh disagreed. "A diligent third-
party payer would've discovered this before 2009," he said.  "The
first injury took place in 1998."

Tinder took up Sabella's logic: "But off-label uses are not
unusual."

"But 11 years went by," Cavanaugh said.  "Articles were published.
This is a sophisticated entity in the business of investigating
insurance claims, with a fiduciary duty."

Ripple noted "that may be true, but I don't know because I don't
have facts in front of me."

This echoed the call by plaintiffs for more discovery before
deciding the claim.

Tinder seemed skeptical.

"I don't see how the fiduciary duty helps you," the judge said.
"It runs to the beneficiaries."

"No," the attorney replied.  "They made a strategic decision to
focus on equitable estoppel of the statute of limitations, not
these other arguments.  There are no allegations of any
investigations."

Tinder replied: "But this is the complaint, in which they don't
have a duty to plead around the statute of limitations."

Cavanaugh took up the argument.  "You can plead yourself out of a
case, and they admitted that their injury goes back to 1998," the
judge said.

February 20 was Tinder's last regular sitting day before he
assumes senior status and retires.  In a brief speech to begin the
day, Judge Michael Kanne said: "Indiana's produced some
outstanding judges, but Judge Tinder is near if not at the top of
that list."  Both he and Ripple are from Indiana as well.

The Sidney Hillman Health Center of Rochester, a local Teamsters
chapter and a fund run by the United Food and Commercial Workers
Unions are the named plaintiffs in the class action at issue.

BASIC RESEARCH: To Refund Customers Under Akavar Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that a Salt Lake City-based company
has agreed to pay refunds to consumers who purchased its weight-
loss tablets to settle a class-action lawsuit that claimed its
advertising slogan, "Eat All You Want & Still Lose Weight," was
deceptive.

Under the proposed settlement, Basic Research will pay a refund of
$25 per box after being sued by law firms on behalf of consumers
who purchased the product called Akavar beginning in 2007.

A Basic Research representative didn't respond to requests for
comment.  But the company has denied any wrongdoing and would
still be able to use the slogan under the proposed agreement.

Salt Lake City attorney Jon Harper, who represents consumers, told
The Salt Lake Tribune that he couldn't comment other than to say
the litigation was resolved "on terms satisfactory to the
parties."

In 2007, a proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in U.S.
District Court in Utah against Basic Research on behalf of
consumers who bought Akavar based on the company's advertising.  A
second similar complaint was filed in state court in California in
2008.

The two lawsuits, which were eventually consolidated into one
action in federal court in Utah, said the company lacked a
scientific basis for the weight-loss claims and was deceiving
consumers.

Akavar was sold by major retailers and marketed as a wonder pill
in which consumers could "Eat All You Want & Still Lose Weight
. . . (And we couldn't say it in print if it wasn't true!)"

The company sold 60 capsules for $39.99 and two bottles for $79.98
with a third one for free, and sales brought in millions of
dollars, according to court documents.

In 2006, the Federal Trade Commission fined Basic Research $3
million and reached a settlement requiring the company to have a
scientific basis for the claims of its products.

The FTC and Basic Research sued each other in 2009 in federal
court in Utah over whether the company was violating the 2006
deal.

But last year, U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups sided with Basic
Research, noting two of four case studies done in 2001 suggested
the herbal compounds in Akavar helped users to lose weight.  His
decision is cited in the proposed settlement of the class-action
lawsuit, The Tribune reported.

BIOZOOM INC: Court Narrows Claims in Securities Litigation
----------------------------------------------------------
IN RE BIOZOOM, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION, CASE NO. 1:14-CV-01087,
(N.D. Ohio) is a putative securities class action, wherein
Plaintiffs generally seek rescission or damages after the value of
Biozoom securities that Plaintiffs had purchased collapsed.
Plaintiffs purchased the stock in over-the-counter markets from
market makers. Plaintiffs contend the Biozoom securities were
unregistered and argue that the Defendant market makers are
strictly liable for selling the unregistered stock.

Plaintiffs make claims under Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and under a variety of state-law theories. Defendants
have sought the dismissal of both the federal claims and the state
claims.

District Judge James S. Gwin granted in part and denied in part
the motions to dismiss.

"In sum, the Court grants Defendants' motion to dismiss Count 1 on
statute of limitations grounds as to all Defendants except KCG
Americas LLC, grants Defendants' motion to dismiss all of
Plaintiffs' state law claims except the breach of contract claims
due to implied preemption, and grants Defendants' motion to
dismiss Plaintiffs' breach of contract claims because Plaintiffs
have not plausibly pled an agreement to deliver registered
securities and have not plausibly pled contract damages.
Defendants' motion to dismiss Count 1 as to KCG is denied," wrote
Judge Gwin in his opinion and order dated February 26, 2015, a
copy of which is available at http://is.gd/I4SWytfrom Leagle.com.


BP PLC: Court Denies $750-Mil. Oil Spill Insurance Claim
--------------------------------------------------------
John Council, writing for Texas Lawyer, reports that BP will not
be allowed to pass off massive costs associated with the 2010
Deepwater Horizon explosion onto insurance companies that wrote
$750 million worth of policies for another company that owned the
drilling rig, according to a recent decision by the Texas Supreme
Court.

The high court's 8-1 decision in In Re Deepwater Horizon resolves
one of the most expensive disputes on its docket and represents a
huge defeat for the giant oil company.  The background to the
insurance coverage dispute is as follows, according to the
majority decision.

BP made a demand for insurance coverage for the environment
disaster that claimed the lives of 11 workers and polluted the
Gulf of Mexico with millions of barrels of oil.  But the insurance
companies that wrote liability policies for Transocean -- the
company BP contracted with to use its mobile offshore drilling
platform -- refused to cover BP.

Instead, the insurance companies filed a declaratory judgment
action in federal court seeking a ruling that BP would not be
entitled to additional-insured coverage for subsurface pollution
claims arising from the Deepwater Horizon explosion.

The federal trial court denied BP coverage, but on appeal the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that decision.  On
rehearing, the Fifth Circuit withdrew its opinion and instead sent
it to the Texas Supreme Court via certified question to be
resolved under the state's complicated insurance coverage case
law.

In resolving the case in the insurance companies' favor, a
majority of the court found that a provision in the drilling
contract between BP and Transocean indicated that the oil company
was responsible for liability resulting from subsurface pollution.
We "conclude that BP is an additional insured only as to
liabilities assumed by Transocean under the drilling contract and
no others.  Because Transocean did not assume liability for
subsurface pollution, Transocean was not 'obliged' to name BP as
an additional insured as to that risk," wrote Justice Eva Guzman
in the Feb. 13 majority opinion. "Because there is no obligation
to provide insurance for that risk, BP lacks status as an
'insured' for the same."

Justice Phil Johnson dissented, writing that insurance "coverage
is not limited to liabilities Transocean assumed in the drilling
contract."

The ruling is a big win in a case that's been closely watched by
the insurance industry, said Byron Keeling, a partner in Houston's
Keeling & Downes who represents one of Transocean's insurers.

"For the biggest disaster to ever hit the Gulf of Mexico, the most
important result is that BP, which is self-insured, is not going
to be able to rely on Transocean's insurance policy to cover its
own sins," Mr. Keeling said.

Geoff Morrell, BP's senior vice president for U.S. communications
and external affairs, said of the decision, "We are disappointed
and are considering our options."

CALSONIC KANSEI: Mitsuba's Bid to Dismiss Class Action Denied
-------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Marianne O. Battani denied defendants Mitsuba
Corporation and American Mitsuba Corporation's motion to dismiss
the dealership plaintiffs' consolidated amended class action
complaint and end-payor plaintiffs' consolidated amended class
action complaint in IN RE: AUTOMOTIVE PARTS ANTITRUST LITIGATION.
In Re: Radiators, NO. 12-MD-02311, (E.D. Mich.)

Judge Battani concluded that even if Mitsuba Defendants
manufactured and sold only radiator fans, one of the products
identified as making up a Radiator, they are not saved by the
limited product involvement. Mitsuba Defendants pleaded guilty to
price-fixing radiator fans as well as other component parts in the
MDL litigation involving different markets. A plea is not needed
to establish the viability of the complaints. Moreover, Mitsuba
Corporation's guilty plea does not dictate the parameters of the
antitrust claims alleged by Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs (IPPs).
IPPs use the term "Radiators" to encompass radiator fans. These
allegations are sufficient to state a claim. For these reasons,
Mitsuba Defendants' motion is denied, she said.

CR BARD: In Talks to Settle Thousands of Pelvic Mesh Suits
----------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Bronstad, writing for The National Law Journal, reports
that medical device manufacturer C.R. Bard Inc. is in talks to
settle thousands of lawsuits filed by women over its pelvic mesh
products.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin on Feb. 12 appointed
Ellen Reisman, a partner in the Los Angeles office of Washington's
Arnold & Porter, "to facilitate settlement discussions" between
plaintiffs attorneys and Bard, which faces more than 14,000
lawsuits in state and federal courts nationwide.

Lawyers have met during the past few weeks with Ms. Reisman, said
Joseph Rice, co-founder of Motley Rice in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., who
is spearheading the talks with Henry Garrard of Athens, Ga.'s
Blasingame Burch Garrard Ashley, co-lead counsel in the Bard
litigation.

"She is working as a special master -- a go-between person who
will be able to talk more freely, but under court protection, with
both defendant and plaintiffs and help put together a resolution
if possible with Bard," Mr. Rice said.

Ms. Reisman was national settlement counsel for Endo International
PLC, which set aside $1.6 billion to resolve most of the 25,000
pelvic mesh cases against its American Medical Systems Inc.
subsidiary in 2014.

Judge Goodwin took a planned Feb. 18 bellwether trial against Bard
off the table after that case settled. Details of the settlement
weren't disclosed.  The judge on Jan. 9 rejected Bard's attempt to
halt the trial based on statements he made in court, later
published in an online news article, that the company faced
potentially "billions of dollars" in liability and should consider
settling its cases.

Representatives of Bard and the company's attorney, Michael Brown
-- mkbrown@reedsmith.com -- a partner in the Los Angeles office of
Reed Smith, did not respond to a request for comment.

Judge Goodwin is overseeing most of the pelvic mesh litigation in
the Southern District of West Virginia, where nearly 70,000 cases
have been coordinated against Bard and six other defendants
alleging their pelvic mesh devices have caused pain and subsequent
surgeries in women.  Thousands more have been filed in state
courts across the country over the products, which are used to
treat urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

On Feb. 5 and Feb. 6, Judge Goodwin held private conferences in
all the cases that involved in-house and outside lawyers for the
defendants "with full authority to make all decisions," including
settlement. During those meetings, Ms. Reisman outlined the
details of the Endo settlements, Mr. Rice said.  Afterward,
Goodwin met with just the defendants, and "there was a much more
in-depth discussion concerning the issues of resolution," Mr. Rice
said.

Soon afterward, Bard asked to meet with Ms. Reisman, he said.
Goodwin has put pressure on all the mesh defendants to settle.
Bard, based in Murray Hill, N.J., settled 500 mesh cases last year
but also has taken its chances at trial.

Bard lost the first pelvic mesh trial in the country in 2012. A
California appellate court upheld the $5.5 million verdict last
year. In 2013, Bard lost a $2 million verdict and settled two
lawsuits under confidential terms.

Judge Goodwin has laid out an aggressive schedule in which more
than 200 cases would be sent back this summer to their original
courts for trial against Bard.  That plan has led to "significant
additional litigation-related defense costs," Bard said in its
annual report on Feb. 18.

DENSO CORP: Bid to Dismiss End-Payors' Suit Denied
--------------------------------------------------
District Judge Marianne O. Battani issued an opinion and order on
February 26, 2015, in IN RE: AUTOMOTIVE PARTS ANTITRUST
LITIGATION. In Re: Motor Generators, MASTER FILE NO. 12-MD-02311,
(E.D. Mich.) denying motor generators defendants' joint motion to
dismiss the end-payors' consolidated amended class action
complaint and the automobile dealers' consolidated amended class
action complaints.  The ruling, a copy of which is available at
http://is.gd/hmDC3cfrom Leagle.com, relates to Dealership Action
2:13-cv-01502, End-Payor Action 2:13-cv-01503.

Defendants include DENSO Corporation and DENSO International
America, Inc., (together DENSO Defendants), Hitachi Automotive
Systems, Ltd. (HIAMS) and Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas,
Inc. (HIAMS-US) (together Hitachi Defendants).

At the January 28, 2015, oral argument, Hitachi Defendants
represented that they had reached a settlement in this case, and
have withdrawn from the motion. In addition, the parties informed
the Court that they had resolved their dispute as to the standing
of the End-Payor Plaintiffs and the Automobile Dealership
Plaintiffs. The parties waived oral argument on the remaining
issues.

In their motion, DENSO Defendants argued that Indirect Purchaser
Plaintiffs (IPPs) fail to allege a plausible conspiracy lasting
fourteen years inasmuch as IPPs reference only one specific
allegation of a coordinated set of bids relevant to one Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEM).

Judge Battani disagreed saying, "IPPs' complaints allege an
overarching conspiracy to rig bids and fix the prices of Motor
Generators. The complaints detail international government
investigations that resulted in the guilty pleas of other
defendants for their part in the price-fixing and bid-rigging of
automotive component parts, including Motor Generators, as well as
the market conditions that facilitated the conspiracy. Here, HIAMS
pleaded guilty to an antitrust conspiracy from at least as early
as January 2000. DENSO Corporation pleaded guilty to antitrust
violations involving other component parts. These two Defendants
are linked to a specific example of bid rigging and pricefixing.
Defendants have no authority to support their argument that
dismissal of a civil complaint is required when the complaint
expanded beyond the conduct to which the defendants in an
antitrust criminal case have pleaded guilty, and this Court has
declined to dismiss complaints falling within 12-2311 on this
ground. The existence of the guilty pleas demonstrate that the
Motor Generators conspiracy existed, and the allegation that
Defendants conspired from as early as 2000 is not implausible,
particularly, when HIAMS' guilty plea is considered. The factual
allegations advanced in the IPPs' complaints create "a reasonable
expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of illegal
agreement" beyond the extent admitted by HIAMS."

FEDERAL EXPRESS: ADA Suit Moved From Maryland to Pennsylvania
-------------------------------------------------------------
Max Mitchell, writing for The Legal Intelligencer, reports that a
suit against FedEx claiming the company discriminates against deaf
package handlers should be moved from Baltimore to Pittsburgh, a
federal court has ruled.

U.S. District Judge William M. Nickerson of the District of
Maryland ordered the case, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission v. FedEx Ground Package System, be transferred from the
Maryland district court to the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania.  The decision granted FedEx's motion to
transfer venue.

According to Judge Nickerson, the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission has alleged that FedEx violated the
Americans with Disabilities Act by discriminating against or
failing to accommodate deaf and partially deaf package handlers
and people who applied to the position.  The case was filed on
behalf of 17 named people, as well as an unspecified number of
"similarly aggrieved individuals."

Although the EEOC had argued that its case focuses not on
corporation-wide policies but on how FedEx's policies were
implemented at facilities across the country, Judge Nickerson
noted that testimony about the development of those policies will
likely become important to the case.  And since many of the FedEx
employees who developed the policies likely reside in the
Pittsburgh area, where FedEx Ground Package System Inc. is
headquartered, the venue change was proper, Judge Nickerson said.

"In these cases, what happens at the local level is certainly
critical.  To determine the liability of the corporation under the
anti-discrimination statutes, however, the finder of fact also
needs to understand how the official policy is developed,
communicated and monitored," Judge Nickerson said.  "While the
understanding of what is happening at the different FedEx
distribution centers may come from witnesses dispersed around the
country, the understanding of the official policy will come from
witnesses who predominantly work and live in Pittsburgh."

The EEOC, according to Nickerson, has claimed the training and
orientation practices at FedEx did not sufficiently accommodate
for deaf or partially deaf people, and that the technology and
equipment was not properly modified or adapted for use by deaf or
partially deaf employees.

According to Judge Nickerson, FedEx brought a 28 U.S.C. Section
1404(a) motion to change the venue, arguing that Pittsburgh was
"undeniably" a more convenient venue for the litigation since it
is where most of the company's officers and directors reside.

FedEx also argued that Pittsburgh is where most of the company's
documents are housed, and further noted that some of the documents
that could be important to the litigation exist only as hard
copies in the Pittsburgh headquarters.

The EEOC, however, contended that the case should be held in
Baltimore because most of the investigation was centered in that
office, Judge Nickerson said.  The EEOC further argued that, while
it has a field office in Pittsburgh, the office is small and has
little support staff, and no one in the office worked on the FedEx
investigation.

Judge Nickerson said he considered access for witnesses,
convenience for parties and the interest of justice as factors in
determining the proper venue.  The EEOC, however, focused much of
its venue arguments on the convenience for the attorneys, which is
not a proper consideration, Judge Nickerson said.

According to Judge Nickerson, only one of the charging package
handlers named in the EEOC's case worked at a Maryland facility.
Nickerson further said that one of the facilities that allegedly
engaged in unlawful practice was located in Pittsburgh.

Regarding whether a venue transfer further facilitated the
interest of justice, Judge Nickerson noted the Western District of
Pennsylvania is much less congested than the Maryland district
court.

But ultimately, the decision hinged on the convenience of the
witnesses, Judge Nickerson said.

According to Judge Nickerson, FedEx argued its employees
responsible for developing and implementing the training and
orientation, as well as those who selected and developed the
equipment and technology package handlers use, work in Pittsburgh
and live in the area.  FedEx further argued that, because claims
in the case date back as far as 2006, some of those employees have
likely retired from the company but may still live in the
Pittsburgh area.

The EEOC countered that, because its case centered on the
"frontline" application of FedEx's policies, the key witnesses
will be the aggrieved individuals and the managers and human
resources officials from the company's distribution facilities.
Judge Nickerson, however, was not persuaded by the EEOC's line of
argument.

"While that may be true, only one of FedEx's distribution
facilities is located in Maryland, the rest are disbursed across
the country," Judge Nickerson said.  "Therefore, with the
exception of those potential witnesses connected with the
Hagerstown, Maryland, facility, Baltimore is no more convenient
than Pittsburgh."

Calls to both FedEx's attorney, Grace E. Speights --
gspeights@morganlewis.com -- of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, and EEOC
counsel Debra M. Lawrence were not returned.


FREEDOM RAIN: Sued in Alabama for Exploiting Struggling Women
-------------------------------------------------------------
A nonprofit set up to help struggling women and their children
allegedly used its "charitable facade" to exploit their
difficulties and make them work for substandard wages, a class
action claims, reports Tracey Dalzell Walsh at Courthouse News
Service.

In a lawsuit filed in the Birmingham, Ala. Federal Court, Briana
Walker says that Freedom Rain Inc., which does business as The
Lovelady Center, is a "tax exempt non-profit holding itself out as
a charity that adopts women in need and provides housing and
rehabilitative services to approximately 450 women, plus many
children daily."

The women who go to the Lovelady Center are often suffering from
physical and substance abuse, or have served time in prison.

"These women have no money and no options," the complaint says.

"Despite Lovelady's charitable facade and its representations on
the Internet that it is 'adopting' these women, in reality,
Lovelady exploits these women by employing them at substandard
wages, improperly taking credits against its minimum wage
obligations equal to the value of Lovelady's 'intake fees,'
'program fees,' and other charges, while also failing to pay them
overtime compensation," Walker says.

She says "Lovelady's operation can be compared to a soup kitchen
that solicits donations to feed the homeless but then charges the
homeless, at a profit, for each bowl of soup."

Walker, a former client of the nonprofit, maintains that Lovelady
clients have no choice but to submit to this treatment because if
they don't, they won't receive a certificate of completion from
the program.

"During the relevant times preceding this action, Lovelady forced
Plaintiff and others similarly situated to work for no wages or on
an hourly basis, depending on whether Lovelady, on its own,
characterized the work as voluntary," the complaint says.  "During
the three year period preceding the filing of this litigation,
Lovelady (1) failed to pay Plaintiff and others similarly situated
the federally required minimum wage and/or overtime due under the
Fair Labor Standards Act . . . (2) took improper credits towards
its minimum wage and overtime obligations under the act; and (3)
intentionally misclassified Clients as 1099 independent
contractors."

Walker says the women are initially forced to work at Lovelady's
program center in the laundry, cafeteria, maintenance department,
call center, nail salon, coffee shop, thrift store or daycare.
Many of these stores and facilities staffed by clients are open to
the public and offer a "healthy profit" to Lovelady.

The complaint states that the women are regularly required to work
in excess of 40 hours a week without any overtime compensation and
Lovelady will take money from their pay checks towards the fees
they are forced to pay.  Additionally, the complaint alleges that
Lovelady decides if some of the hours worked by the clients are
"voluntary" and the women never know when they are working for
free.

According to the complaint, Lovelady "utilizes several illegal
schemes to exploit the women it touts it protects in order to
cause these women to work for substandard wages" and it acts as a
"staffing company" by sending the women to work at other
businesses owned by family members of Lovelady's founder,
including a tax company, a retail store and two assisted living
facilities.

Walker claims Lovelady provides transportation for the women, but
charges them for the service and fines them if they are late for
pick up.  Clients are also fined $10 if they miss work, if they
are late or if they change a shift.

The complaint claims that Lovelady receives the checks for the
work performed by their clients and it will calculate how many
hours worked were voluntary and keep this money.  Lovelady will
then take a credit against any outstanding balances held by the
clients and the complaint states that often the women were left
with no money for their work.

"Lovelady has recently reached a settlement related to overtime
violations with the Department of Labor . . . covering 37 women
contracted to assisted living facilities," the complaint says.
"However, not all these 37 women agreed to settle their claims,
and these 37 women do not constitute all those employed at the
facilities made subject of the investigation.  Lovelady 'cherry
picked' the 37 and misrepresented to the DOL the number of women
actually employed at those locations."

Walker seeks declaratory relief, compensatory and liquidated wages
on the claimed violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

A representative of The Lovelady Center declined to comment on
Walker's allegations when contacted by CNS, explaining that had
been unaware of the lawsuit and not seen the complaint.

ICHIKOH INDUSTRIES: Dismissed From Auto Parts Antitrust Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Marianne O. Battani granted a motion filed by
Ichikoh Industries, Ltd. to dismiss plaintiffs' consolidated
amended class action complaints in IN RE: AUTOMOTIVE PARTS
ANTITRUST LITIGATION. In re: HID Ballasts, MASTER FILE NO. 12-MD-
02311, (E.D. Mich.) for lack of personal jurisdiction.

Judge Battani held that defendant Ichikoh "lacks sufficient
minimum contacts for the Court to exercise personal jurisdiction.
Ichikoh has virtually no ties to the United States, and
Plaintiffs' stream of commerce and conspiracy theories are
unavailing. In addition, the Court declines to permit
jurisdictional discovery in this matter, as there is no reasonable
basis to expect that further discovery would reveal any evidence
to support an exercise of jurisdiction. See Chrysler Corp. v.
Fedders Corp., 643 F.2d 1229, 1240 (6th Cir. 1981). Therefore, the
Court lacks personal jurisdiction over Ichikoh, and it will be
dismissed from this action."

The February 26, 2015 ruling, a copy of which is available at

2:13-cv-01702 and End-Payor Actions 2:13-cv-01703.


JANSSEN PHARMA: Jury Awards $2.5MM Verdict in Risperdal Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
P.J. D'Annunzio, writing for The Legal Intelligencer, reports that
a Philadelphia jury has awarded $2.5 million to the plaintiff in
the first of roughly 1,250 Risperdal mass-tort cases in the city's
courts.

After roughly a day-and-a-half of deliberations, the 12-member
jury in Pledger v. Janssen Pharmaceuticals handed down the verdict
in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Ramy I. Djerassi's
courtroom on Feb. 24.  The verdict, agreed upon by 11 of the
jurors, brought an end to the month-long trial.

The jury found defendant Janssen Pharmaceuticals negligent in
having failed to warn of the potential for Risperdal to cause
gynecomastia, a condition in which males grow enlarged breasts.

The plaintiff in the case, Austin Pledger, took Risperdal to
assist with behavioral symptoms related to autism and claimed to
have developed gynecomastia from taking the drug.

Kline & Specter co-founder Thomas R. Kline said the verdict set
the stage for the rest of the Risperdal cases set to go to trial.
He also remarked that, in 37 years of trying drug cases, "I have
never seen a worse case of corporate misconduct than I have seen
here."

That misconduct, Mr. Kline said, was exemplified by Janssen's
failure to turn over information to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration about Risperdal's ability to elevate levels of
prolactin, the hormone that causes gynecomastia.

"The documents now in the public domain, including the
statistically significant association between elevated prolactin
levels and gynecomastia, which was never turned over to the FDA,
was seen by the jury for what it was," Mr. Kline said.

As for whether the amount of the verdict met his expectations,
Mr. Kline said, "The amount of the verdict speaks to the reaction
of the jury, not only to the evidence against Janssen -- which was
damning -- but to the injury caused to the most vulnerable members
of our society."

In a Janssen statement issued in response to the verdict, a
company spokeswoman said, "We are disappointed and will consider
all of our options going forward, including appeals.  We firmly
believe this verdict should be overturned."

The spokeswoman continued, "During the trial, Janssen presented
abundant evidence showing that the FDA-approved label properly
warned of the medication's potential side effects and the
plaintiff's physician was aware of those side effects.  The
evidence also showed that Mr. Pledger was not harmed by using
Risperdal and, in fact, his quality of life was significantly
improved during the time he was taking Risperdal."

The atmosphere of the trial itself was often combative, with
counsel for both parties verbally sparring with each other.
Frequent objections were commonplace as well as informal
criticisms of expert witnesses tossed around in open court.
Closing arguments in the case encapsulated the contentious nature
of the trial.

Weil, Gotshal & Manges attorney Diane Sullivan, who represented
Janssen, noted how much the plaintiff's experts, Dr. Mark P.
Solomon and former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler, earned as
testifying witnesses, and said the plaintiff had failed to bring a
specialist in endocrinology, which Sullivan argued would be the
medical field most directly related to the plaintiff's
allegations.

Ms. Sullivan also referred to Solomon, who is a plastic surgeon,
as "the Tom Brady of penile enlargement surgery," and said that as
an expert, Dr. Kessler "hasn't met a warning label he liked yet."

However, Mr. Kline, during the rebuttal portion of his argument,
referred to Sullivan's portrayal of Solomon as "disgusting crap,"
and noted the defendants did not call a pediatric endocrinologist.

"I brought in a commissioner of the FDA," Mr. Kline said, before
turning to Ms. Sullivan.  "Where's your commissioner of the FDA?"
Mr. Pledger, a 20-year-old from Alabama, claimed he grew large
breasts as a result of taking Risperdal when he was 8 years old,
and that -- barring a mastectomy -- the condition is permanent.
Mr. Kline alleged that Janssen knew about the increased risk of
gynecomastia associated with Risperdal relative to similar drugs,
but was not forthright in disclosing that information.

Mr. Pledger had used Risperdal beginning in 2002, but stopped
after the FDA provided a new warning label in 2006 outlining the
risks associated with gynecomastia.

                Closing Arguments Focus on Experts

Max Mitchell, writing for The Legal Intelligencer, reports that
closing arguments in the first trial of Philadelphia's Risperdal
mass-tort actions focused largely on attacking the testimony and
backgrounds of the experts.

Plaintiffs attorney Thomas R. Kline of Kline & Specter referenced
a defense expert who came from Alabama as "Dr. Alabama," and
argued the doctor was less qualified than Kline's experts.

However, during the defense's portion of the arguments, counsel
for Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the defendant in the case, referred
to the plaintiff's experts as "regulars on the litigation
circuit."

The arguments, which were heard Feb. 20, came after nearly a month
of trial over whether the drugmaker failed to warn patients about
the risk of gynecomastia, a condition in which young males grow
breast tissue.

Although attorneys on both sides in the case, Pledger v. Janssen
Pharmaceuticals, outlined their arguments before the jury, and
went over their interpretations of the questions on the verdict
sheet, much of the contentious arguments focused on the experts.
Weil, Gotshal & Manges attorney Diane Sullivan, who represented
Janssen, noted how much the plaintiff's experts, Dr. Mark P.
Solomon and Dr. David Kessler, earned as testifying witnesses, and
said the plaintiff had failed to bring a specialist in
endocrinology, which Sullivan argued would be the medical field
most directly related to the plaintiff's allegations.

Ms. Sullivan also referred to Solomon, who is a plastic surgeon,
as "the Tom Brady of penile enlargement surgery," and said that as
an expert, Kessler, who was a former U.S. Food and Drug
Administration commissioner, "hasn't met a warning label he liked
yet."

However, Mr. Kline, during the rebuttal portion of his argument,
referred to Sullivan's portrayal of Solomon as "disgusting crap,"
and noted the defendants did not call a pediatric endocrinologist.
"I brought in a commissioner of the FDA," Mr. Kline said, before
turning to Ms. Sullivan.  "Where's your commissioner of the FDA?"
Plaintiff Austin Pledger's case is the first of roughly 1,250
cases claiming that Risperdal, an antipsychotic, causes
gynecomastia that have been filed in the city's court system.  The
trial, which was held before Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas
Judge Ramy I. Djerassi, began Jan. 23.

According to Mr. Kline, Mr. Pledger, a 20-year-old from Alabama,
grew large breasts as a result of taking Risperdal when he was 8
years old, and that, barring a mastectomy, the condition is
permanent.  Mr. Kline alleged that Janssen knew about the
increased risk of gynecomastia associated with Risperdal relative
to similar drugs, but was not forthright with the FDA or doctors
about those risks.

Mr. Pledger had used Risperdal beginning in 2002, but stopped
after the FDA provided a new warning label in 2006 outlining the
risks associated with gynecomastia.

Mr. Kline contended in closing arguments that the company hid data
from prescribing doctors, and focused on selling the drug instead
of studying its safety.

"When a pharmaceutical company is acting reasonably and prudently
they investigate it, they report it, they tell the FDA, they tell
the world," Mr. Kline said.  "Nobody knew all this risk, except
the insiders."

Mr. Kline said the drug caused Mr. Pledger to develop size 46 DD
breasts, and that the condition could not be due only to natural
hormonal changes of puberty.

"Is there any boy that you know who has 46 DD breasts that he got
from puberty?" Mr. Kline asked the jury.

The jury slip, which Mr. Kline and Ms. Sullivan both used to
outline their closing arguments, included a question on whether
Janssen was negligent, and a question on whether the negligence
was a causative factor in Mr. Pledger developing gynecomastia.

Kline pointed to testimony from both Mr. Pledger's mother and his
prescribing doctor to show that the doctor would have advised the
mother differently and the mother would not have decided to give
Mr. Pledger the drug had the warning label noted the relationship
to gynecomastia.

Ms. Sullivan countered that the treating doctor had prescribed
Pledger the drug in January 2007 after the new labeling was
issued, and the drug had been refilled a few times.  She also
noted that other drugs Mr. Pledger had taken were known to have
side effects including a fatal skin disease.

Numerous times in her closing argument Ms. Sullivan noted the case
did not begin after a doctor diagnosed Pledger with gynecomastia,
but instead after Mr. Pledger's mother saw a television
advertisement.  "1-800. Call.  We'll sue," she said.  "Plaintiffs
don't matter. Facts don't matter."
Ms. Sullivan also characterized the plaintiff's analysis of the
pharmaceutical testing data as "the height of cherry-picking," and
said several times that the plaintiff's case was "a show."
"Why would you measure for bra size?" Ms. Sullivan asked.  "Real
doctors don't do that."

During his rebuttal, Mr. Kline said Ms. Sullivan's case had been
largely based on distractions and personal attacks.

"It's a telltale sign when somebody smashes, mashes, bashes and
stomps," he said.  "An 800-lawyer? I'm proud to be a lawyer."

LEGGETT & PLATT: Direct Purchaser Settlements Get Final Approval
----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Jack Zouhary granted final approval of "Leggett &
Platt and Carpenter Settlements" and a motion for an award of
attorneys' fees and for reimbursement of expenses in In re
Polyurethane Foam Antitrust Litigation, ANTITRUST CASE NO. 1:10 MD
2196, (N.D. Ohio).

Under the proposed settlements, and in exchange for a release of
all Direct Purchaser claims against Leggett & Platt and the
Carpenter Defendants, Direct Purchasers will receive:

* $39.8 million from Leggett & Platt, including an initial $4
million cash payment;

* $108 million from the Carpenter Defendants, including an initial
$20 million cash payment (the two funds together are referred to
as the Settlement Fund); and

* Trial testimony from up to two Leggett & Platt employees and up
to two Carpenter Defendant employees for the purpose of admitting
Leggett & Platt and Carpenter documents at trial.

Class Counsel have sought a $52,473,855.80 cut of the Settlement
Fund, including:

* Thirty percent of the Settlement Fund for attorneys' fees, or
roughly $44.34 million; and

* Reimbursement of Class Counsel's incurred expenses, amounting to
$8,133,855.80.

The Court concluded that Class Counsel's fee request is
reasonable. The Court also awarded Class Counsel $8,113,855.80 for
reimbursement of expenses. The Court granted Co-Lead Counsel
authority to "distribute the fees in a manner that, in the
judgment of Co-Lead Counsel, fairly compensates each firm for its
contribution to the prosecution of Plaintiffs' claims".

The Court certified the "Direct Purchaser Settlement Class" for
the purposes of this settlement. The Direct Purchaser Settlement
Class consists of the certified Direct Purchaser Litigation Class
minus the persons and entities who request exclusion from the
Direct Purchaser Settlement Class.

As to the Leggett & Platt Released Parties and the Carpenter
Released Parties, as defined in the Settlement Agreements, the
Class Action and any and all currently pending direct purchaser
class action lawsuits directly related to the subject matter of
this litigation are dismissed with prejudice and in their
entirety, on the merits, and, except as provided for in the
Settlement Agreement, without costs.

The Order does not settle or compromise any claims by Class
Representatives or the Direct Purchaser Settlement Class against
the Defendants or other persons or entities other than the Leggett
& Platt Released Parties or the Carpenter Released Parties, and
all rights against any other Defendant or other person or entity
are specifically reserved. The sales of Polyurethane Foam to
members of the Direct Purchaser Settlement Class by the Leggett &
Platt Released Parties and the Carpenter Released Parties will
remain against the non-settling Defendants as a basis for damage
claims, and will be part of any joint and several liability claims
against any non-settling Defendant or other person or entity other
than the Leggett & Platt Released Parties or the Carpenter
Released Parties.

order is available at http://is.gd/wko5p2from Leagle.com.

12-15996, 12-16010, 12-16038.

Class members challenged the district court's approval of the
settlement between Walmart and a class of Netflix DVD subscribers,
arguing, among other matters, that the gift card portion of the
settlement constituted a coupon settlement within the meaning of
the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), Pub. L. No. 109-2, 119
Stat. 4 (2005).

In the settlement agreement, Walmart agreed to pay a total amount
of $27,250,000, comprising both a "Cash Component" and a "Gift
Card Component," in exchange for dismissal with prejudice of all
claims asserted in the complaint. The class consists of:
any person or entity residing in the United States or Puerto Rico
that paid a subscription fee to rent DVDs online from Netflix on
or after May 19, 2005, up to and including the date the Court
grants Preliminary Approval of the Settlement, or some other date
to be agreed to by the parties to this Agreement.

The Cash Component funded attorneys' fees and expenses, costs of
notice and administration, and incentive payments to class
representatives. The amount remaining constituted the Gift Card
Component and was used to provide class members with either gift
cards or, if they so chose, the cash equivalent of a gift card.
The gift card could only be used at the Walmart website and was
freely transferrable, although it could not be resold.

To receive payment, a class member was required to submit a claim
form. A claimant could submit a claim for a gift card via e-mail,
the class action website, or regular mail. A claimant could submit
a claim for cash by regular mail only, and had to include the last
four digits of his or her Social Security Number. Each claimant
received an equal share of the Gift Card Component. In other
words, the Gift Card Component (the amount remaining after
subtracting attorneys' fees and expenses, notice and
administration costs, and incentive payments) was split evenly
among all valid claimants, regardless of the specific damages each
individual claimant incurred.

Initial e-mail notice of the settlement was provided to some 35
million class members. Notice was mailed to more than 9 million
class members whose email addresses were invalid such that the
email notice "bounced back." The notice informed class members
about the settlement and claims-submission process; stated that
class counsel would seek $1.7 million in reimbursement of
litigation expenses and fees of 25% of the total settlement fund
of $27,250,000 and that Class Representatives would receive $5,000
each in incentive payments; it also set a deadline for filing a
claim, leaving the class, or objecting to the settlement of
February 14, 2012. The notice encouraged class members to visit
the class website for more details.

In response to the notice, 1,183,444 claims were submitted.
744,202 requests were for gift cards and 434,253 were for the
equivalent value in cash. 722 class members opted out of the class
and 30 lodged objections.

In approving the Settlement, the District Court concluded the
attorneys' fees were properly calculated as 25% of the settlement
fund, including administration and notice costs. It decided the
percentage amount was fair, especially given that the alternative
lodestar calculation would have resulted in attorneys' fees three
times larger than the amount class counsel requested.

The District Court approved attorneys' fees of $6,812,500 (25% of
the total fund of $27,250,000), reimbursement of some litigation
expenses totaling $1,700,000, incentive awards of $5,000 each for
nine class representatives (totaling $45,000), and payment of
notice and administration costs out of the fund. Administration
and notice costs totaled roughly $4.5 million, leaving roughly
$14.1 million in the settlement fund for the Gift Card Component.
Divided among almost 1.2 million claims, the Gift Card Component
will provide claimants with roughly $12 each.

Following the court's approval of the settlement, six objectors,
Theodore Frank, Tracey Klinge Cox, Maria Cope, Edmund F. Bandas,
John Sullivan, and Jon M. Zimmerman, timely appealed and their
cases were consolidated.

The Ninth Circuit held in its February 27, 2015 opinion, a copy of
which is available at http://is.gd/rz1GWufrom Leagle.com, that
the district court did not err in approving the settlement as
fair, reasonable, and adequate.  Accordingly, the Ninth Circuit
affirmed the district court's decision to approve the settlement
between the class of Netflix subscribers and Walmart, to certify
the settlement class, and to grant class counsels' motion for
attorneys' fees.

One of the Objectors raised the concerns that the gift cards will
not disgorge Walmart of ill-gotten gains and will force class
members to buy from the defendant in their class action.

The Ninth Circuit held, however, that giving thousands of
consumers the ability to purchase $12 in goods from the Walmart
website for free will not be insignificant to the retailer.  The
Ninth Circuit also said the case does not present the same
problems as one like Young v. Polo Retail, LLC, in which the class
members were former Polo Retail employees who complained about
being forced to purchase Polo clothing and were then given Polo
Retail gift cards. No. C-02-4546, 2006 WL 3050861, at *3-5 (N.D.
Cal. 2006) ("[W]hy would former employees, who allegedly were
forced to buy a great deal of unwanted Polo products, desire
product vouchers so that they could purchase even more clothes?").

"Here, class members are suing due to an online-DVD rental
agreement between Walmart and Netflix. Since Walmart sells many
products beyond DVDs, class members have less reason to be wary of
a gift card to the defendant retailer than did the plaintiffs in
Young," the Ninth Circuit explained.  "Moreover, the claimants in
this case had the option of obtaining cash instead of a gift card,
undercutting the argument that the settlement forces them to buy
from the defendant. In sum, we hold that the Walmart gift cards in
this case are not coupons that fall under the umbrella of CAFA."

NEW YORK CITY, NY: Overhauls Solitary Policy in Rikers Island
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some light has shined inside Rikers Island's darkest holes on
February 21, reports Adam Klasfeld at Courthouse News Service.

That's when the New York City Department of Corrections' new rules
take effect, imposing time limits on solitary confinement and
jettisoning the prison's "owed-time" policy.

Corrections Commissioner Joseph Ponte estimated at a press
conference in December that the reforms will eliminate pending
solitary confinement terms of thousands of Rikers inmates, and he
banned the placement of 16- and 17-year-olds in isolation earlier
this year.

These developments followed extensive federal litigation over
alleged civil rights abuses inside Rikers Island jails and
prisons.

Last year, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara slammed what he
called a "Lord of the Flies" atmosphere facing teenagers inside
the juvenile lockups, where his investigation found beatings
occurred with "alarming frequency."

Four months after releasing the results that probe, on Dec. 18,
2014, Bharara's office joined a 4-year-old civil lawsuit, Nunez v.
City of New York, challenging the jailhouse's use of solitary
confinement.

The day after this development, the Corrections Department held a
public hearing to address a wide range of policies regarding so-
called "punitive segregation."

One of these included the rule forcing inmates released from
solitary before the end of their terms to make up for their "owed
time" later in their sentence.

Known as "bings" at Rikers, this policy also came under fire
nearly four months ago in Manhattan through the federal class
action, Bryant v. City of New York.

Lead plaintiff Ahlijah Bryant was 20 years old when his lawyers at
the Legal Aid Society and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison
LLP filed the Oct. 30, 2014, complaint on behalf of the prison's
pretrial detainees.

When released on parole from Midstate Correctional Facility in
April 2013 for an attempted-robbery conviction, Bryant had not yet
completed his solitary confinement term, and he had to make up the
difference at Rikers after his first-degree robbery arrest last
year, records show.

Such a punishment is inconsistent with the presumption of
innocence, his lawyers say.

Calling solitary confinement a "dangerous practice," their
complaint notes that a Corrections Department-commissioned report
labeled it "one of the most severe forms of punishment that can be
inflicted on human beings short of killing them."

The Yale and New York University-affiliated psychiatrists who
wrote the report found that 41 percent of solitary inmates at
Rikers are mentally ill, isolation stints stretched up to 3,000
days, and that the "torture" of isolation could cause or aggravate
"psychosis."

The Corrections Department's board unanimously voted on Jan. 13
this year to overhaul their solitary practices.

Two weeks before these rules were memorialized, the prisons banned
solitary for inmates younger than 18.  The department plans to
raise a minimum age of 21 next year, if they obtained enough
resources and staffing to implement the change, according to the
15-page notice of the rules.

The mentally ill and the seriously physically disabled also will
be excluded starting on February 20, the rules state.

Inmates in solitary for nonviolent-jailhouse infractions will
spend at least seven out-of-cell hours a day, instead of one, and
maximum terms cap at 30 days, the notice says.

The new rules also beef up due-process protections for hearing
leading to solitary terms, train corrections officers working
those shifts, and mandate bimonthly reports monitoring the
prisons' compliance with the changes.

Commissioner Ponte said on Dec. 17 that the owed-time shelving
alone would eliminate 1,000 names from the solitary backlog.

"We are going to take all that historic time and wipe that off the
books," he said.  "So all those things -- guys that have gotten
out, coming back -- they're not going to owe time anymore."

The New York City Law Department told the judge hearing the Bryant
case that the shelving of the owed-time policy could lead to a
settlement in that case.

A Jan. 20 letter states that the parties need time to pour through
"relevant medical records" of the 10 named plaintiffs for their
discussions.

U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein adjourned proceedings until
March 26.

The Legal Aid Society's Barbara Hamilton, the lead attorney on
that case, called the new measures a "good step towards reform and
progress."

NORDSTROM INC: Cal. Supreme Court Asked to Rule on Day Off Issue
----------------------------------------------------------------
Matt Reynolds at Courthouse News Service reports that the 9th
Circuit on February 19 asked the California Supreme Court to
settle a question of "extreme importance" to tens of thousands of
workers: how many days they have to work without a day off.

Former Nordstrom salesman Christopher Mendoza filed a Superior
Court class action in 2009 against the fashion retailer, claiming
he had worked more than six days in a row without having a day
off.

Under California labor laws, Mendoza said, he should have had one
day's rest in every seven days he worked.

After the case was removed to Federal Court for a bench trial,
U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney said California law applies to
any rolling period in which an employee worked seven days in a
row, rather than by workweek.

But Carney found that Nordstrom did not violate labor laws because
Mendoza had worked less than six hours for at least one day during
the consecutive days on the job.

In addition, Nordstrom did not coerce Mendoza to work more than
seven consecutive days.  He had agreed to take them, Carney ruled.

On February 19, the 9th Circuit certified three questions to state
supreme court, noting that there is no controlling law or appeals
court precedent to guide its decision.

The panel asked the court to decide if under state labor laws the
day off rule is calculated based on a workweek or on any instance
in which a person works for seven days in row.  It also asked the
supreme court to rule on exemptions to the rest day requirement.

"Does that exemption apply when an employee works less than six
hours in any one day of the applicable week, or does it apply only
when an employee works less than six hours in each day of the
week?" Judge Susan P. Graber wrote.

The court also was unclear on what it means for an employer to
"cause" an employee to work more than six days in seven.

Does it mean "force, coerce, pressure, schedule, encourage,
reward, permit, or something else?" Graber asked.

"The answers to these questions of California law would be
dispositive of the appeal before us, and no clear controlling
California precedent exists," Graber wrote.  "Moreover, because
the questions that we certify are of extreme importance to tens of
thousands of employees in California, considerations of comity and
federalism suggest that the court of last resort in California,
rather than our court, should have the opportunity to answer the
questions in the first instance."

The 9th Circuit stayed the case pending the supreme court's
decision.

Judge Ronald M. Gould and Consuelo M. Callahan joined Graber on
the panel.

ROCHE LABORATORIES: Judge Bars Expert Testimony in Accutane Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mary Pat Gallagher, writing for New Jersey Law Journal, reports
that In a ruling likely to impact thousands of pending cases, a
New Jersey judge has barred Accutane plaintiffs from presenting
expert testimony that the drug causes Crohn's disease.

The testimony failed to meet the standards of scientific
reliability required by New Jersey Rule of Evidence 702, Atlantic
County Superior Court Judge Nelson Johnson said in a decision made
public Feb. 23.

It is one thing to "stand alone in the world of science by
advancing a hypothesis that others do not accept," but "quite
another thing to advance a hypothesis that can only be supported
by disregarding valid scientific research," Judge Johnson said.

"The court embraces its obligation to be flexible in applying
scientific evidence to novel personal injury claims falling within
the penumbra of 'toxic torts,'" but claimants have "a reciprocal
obligation to be mindful of the scientific standards of the
scientific community," Judge Johnson added.

As of Feb. 18, there were more than 6,700 lawsuits consolidated
before Johnson on a multicounty litigation docket alleging that
Accutane, an acne medication made by Roche Laboratories, caused
harmful side effects such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
ulcerative colitis, birth defects and extreme depression.

Crohn's, a type of IBD, is a chronic gastrointestinal disease, the
symptoms of which include abdominal pain, severe diarrhea,
fatigue, weight loss and rectal bleeding, and it can lead to
colorectal cancer, bowel perforation and other life-threatening
complications.

Roche stopped manufacturing Accutane in 2009 but the generic
versions, including Amnesteen, Claravis and Absorica, remain on
the market subject to restrictions on prescribing them.  In
addition, women users must take precautions against becoming
pregnant.

The decision to exclude the expert testimony could preclude
recovery on claims that Accutane caused Crohn's disease.

Just how many such claims there are is uncertain.  Judge Johnson
required defense counsel to provide him with the number of
affected lawsuits by March 6. He further stated that before
entering an order regarding those cases, he would allow the
plaintiffs to be heard on whether they were properly included.

Judge Johnson's decision was in response to a motion filed in
January by Roche and Hoffmann-La Roche, a co-defendant, seeking to
block the testimony of two experts: Dr. Arthur Kornbluth, who
teaches at the Mount Sinai Medical School, and David Madigan, a
statistics professor at Columbia University.

It followed the so-called Kemp hearing required by the Evidence
Rule 104, which entailed eight days of hearings in which
Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Madigan testified, as did two defense
experts.

Before hearing the testimony, Johnson asked counsel on both sides
to provide him with all reports, treatises and other scientific
literature on which their experts relied and was provided with
more than 400 such items.

Judge Johnson said those materials were "invaluable" and enabled
him to conclude that the only thing that the scientific community
seemed to agree on was that the drug isotretinoin, sold as
Accutane, is the only medication effective in treating severe
nodular acne, but there was no consensus whatsoever on whether it
affects general health.

There is no study stating that isotretinoin causes IBD, Johnson
said.

Judge Johnson emphasized that his role as a gatekeeper was not to
determine whether a theory of causation had achieved general
acceptance in the scientific community but whether it was "derived
from a sound and well-founded methodology," one generally followed
by experts in the field.

Judge Johnson called Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Madigan "exceptionally
learned and accomplished professionals," but concluded that their
testimony suffered from "multiple deficiencies," especially their
"finely tuned selectivity of the evidence on which they rely."

For instance, they relied heavily on studies involving 509 and 76
subjects while ignoring much larger epidemiological studies with a
combined total of more than 2 million subjects, Judge Johnson
noted.

"The reliance upon these two studies is fatal and reveals the
lengths to which legal counsel and their experts are willing to
contort the facts and torture the logic associated with
plaintiffs' hypothesis," Judge Johnson said.

Judge Johnson also said Dr. Kornbluth tried to have it both ways
by asking the court to reject the best evidence available because
of its flaws but to accept "evidence at the bottom of the medical
evidence hierarchy because it is all he can find to support his
hypothesis of causation."

Dr. Kornbluth's medical report "confirms that his hypothesis is a
muddle of ambiguities and that his report camouflages mere
speculation as true science," Judge Johnson said.

Judge Johnson called Mr. Madigan's opinion "conclusion-driven"
rather than methodology-based and referred to the "hired gun
phenomenon."

Judge Johnson called case studies largely "anecdotal" and said he
placed little value on animal studies, noting that dogs cannot
develop IBD, and adverse event reports filed with the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, suggesting that lawyers were abusing the
system.

Johnson cited a study showing that of the 2,214 reports filed with
the FDA from 2003 to 2011 claiming isotretinoin caused IBD, 1,944,
or 87.8 percent, were submitted by lawyers, which the study
authors said was much higher than for other drug reactions.

"The courts should never underestimate the resourcefulness of some
attorneys," Johnson said.

Roche attorney Paul Schmidt -- pschmidt@cov.com -- of Covington &
Burling in Washington, D.C., referred a request for comment to
Roche spokeswoman Tara Iannuccillo.

Ms. Iannuccillo supplied a statement saying, "The scientific
record is now overwhelming that Accutane does not cause Crohn's
disease, and Judge Johnson's opinion recognizes that fact in
rejecting the unscientific opinions of plaintiffs' paid experts."
David Buchanan of Seeger Weiss in Newark, a lawyer for the
plaintiffs, said, "We are disappointed by the court's decision,
and will be pursuing an appeal."

Judge Johnson's decision contrasts with one by Judge Carol Higbee
in 2008.

Judge Higbee refused to toss out a $2.5 million verdict in
McCarrell v. Hoffmann-La Roche where the expert testimony on
causation was based in part on animal studies and case studies,
even though the federal judge in the Accutane Multi-District
Litigation had ruled there was no scientific basis for similar
testimony, a decision later affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit.

The Appellate Division agreed with Judge Higbee on the expert
testimony but vacated the verdict on other grounds and the case
was retried to a $25 million verdict in 2010.  An appeal of the
verdict is to be argued March 9.

Judge Johnson took over the Accutane cases from Higbee last
September after she became an appeals court judge.

In October, he dismissed four bellwether cases on statute-of-
limitations grounds that applied to an unknown number of other
cases.

Judge Johnson followed up in December by tossing out more than 600
suits for failure to comply with discovery.

SCOTT TECHNOLOGIES: Ex-Firefighter Settles Equipment Failure Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Joel Stashenko, writing for New York Law Journal, reports that a
former firefighter who laid in burning wreckage for 20 minutes
while other firemen tried to find him has reached a $10.6 million
settlement with a safety equipment manufacturer.

Mitchell Dryer Jr. was awarded the compensatory damages on Feb. 18
by a Madison County Supreme Court jury, following a trial before
Justice Eugene Faughnan.  As the jury was to begin considering
punitive damages against defendant Scott Technologies, Mr. Dryer's
attorneys said they reached a settlement.

Scott agreed not to appeal the verdict and to pay the compensatory
damage award by April 5 in return for not facing punitive damages.
The deal carried no confidentiality clause, said Walter Benson, a
partner in the Lynn Law Firm of Syracuse, which represented Dryer
and his wife, Aimee, in Dryer v. Scott Technologies, 2008-1622.
Dryer lost an arm and an ear during the off-hours fire on April
22, 2007 at a bowling alley in Oneida, New York.  He said that the
Personal Alert Safety System device he was wearing failed to send
out a piercing alarm and flashing red light when he became
immobilized so his fellow firefighters could locate him more
quickly.

Because they did not know precisely where he was, firefighters
said they could not use a chain saw to cut through the wreckage
and free Dryer sooner.

The manufacturer's bid to have the Dryer suit dismissed was
rejected by the Appellate Division, Third Department (NYLJ, May 6,
2014).

Scott Technologies was represented by Charles Eblen of Shook,
Hardy & Bacon in Kansas City.

Audience: General Public, Healthcare Professionals, Hospitals
Identification number: RA-43819

Spacelabs has received multiple reports of XPREZZON and qube
monitors failing to boot up or returning to factory default
configuration settings following power on or reset.

A failure to boot following power on or reset, resulting in a
failure in monitor operation loss of network connectivity, which
may result in i) an inability to display alarms and data from the
affected monitor on central stations and other bedside monitors,
or ii) a failure to transmit parameter and alarms from the
affected monitor to system printers and spacelabs' Intesys
Clinical Suite retrospective database (including the clinical
events interface remote notification feature) display of english
language when previously configured for another language (the
alarm messages displayed in the parameter waveform zone are not
affected, as these are stored on a command module and not on the
monitor) touchscreen failure where touching the screen does not
produce the expected response.

The parameter alarms and information are still present and correct
once the monitor has completely started up. No one has been
injured as a result of these issues.

Spacelabs believes this issue is caused by inadequate electrical
contact on one of its printed circuit board assemblies.

TAKATA CORP: Air-Bag Litigation Hearing Begins in Miami
-------------------------------------------------------
Julie Kay, writing for Law.com, reports that more than 100 of the
nation's top class action lawyers packed a Miami federal courtroom
on Feb. 20 for the first hearing to establish rules for a
multidistrict litigation case against air-bag maker Takata Corp.
and major automakers.

U.S. District Judge Federico A. Moreno, who landed the massive
case alleging that exploding air bags caused deaths and injuries,
noted he recognized many of the same lawyers he dealt with in his
last MDL case against the managed care industry.

Peter Prieto -- pprieto@podhurst.com -- of Podhurst Orseck in
Miami spoke for the plaintiffs' lawyers, saying they decided to
pick five co-lead counsel.  When asked by Judge Moreno who would
apply, more than a dozen raised their hands, including famed
litigator David Boies of Boies, Schiller & Flexner.

The first fissure among the plaintiffs' attorneys appeared when
Mr. Prieto noted that 70 lawyers attended a strategy meeting on
Feb. 19 at Podhurst Orseck, and Boies did not attend.

Mr. Boies was the only one to oppose the five co-lead counsel
proposal, drawing sharp criticism from his colleagues.

"With all due respect to David Boies, he was not at our meeting,"
said Stuart Grossman of Grossman & Roth in Miami.  "We are not
interested in forming a bureaucracy.  But we don't have 250
lawyers at our plaintiff firms like Mr. Boies does.  We don't have
armies of lawyers to battle the thousands of (defense lawyers).
We think we're small but talented."

Other plaintiffs lawyers involved include Aaron Podhurst; Bobby
Gilbert -- rcg@grossmanroth.com -- of Grossman & Roth; Daniel
Becnel of the Becnel Law Firm in Louisiana; Harley Tropin --
hst@kttlaw.com -- of Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton in Coral Gables;
and Mary Barzee Flores -- mbarzeeflores@stearnsweaver.com -- of
Stearns Weaver Miller Alhadeff & Sitterson.

Local defense counsel include Guy Lewis and Michael Tein of Lewis
Tein for Mazda and Marty Steinberg -- msteinberg@bilzin.com -- of
Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod for Honda.

Judge Moreno questioned whether five lead co-counsel is "a lot."

Mr. Prieto said it wasn't, considering numerous class action and
personal injury cases have been consolidated, and the case will
involve considerable travel and depositions around the world.

Criteria for choosing the lead counsel will be quality of the
lawyers, and geographic, ethnic and gender diversity, Mr. Prieto
said.

Judge Moreno will sort through applications to make the final
selection.

"I feel like an admissions counselor," the judge joked.  "Do you
have any applications with SAT scores and GPAs?"

Michael Mallow -- mmallow@sidley.com -- of Sidley Austin, who also
represents Honda, said the defense doesn't care how many lead
counsel the plaintiffs choose and are only concerned about
consolidating all the federal and state cases to avoid significant
overlaps in discovery.

When asked whether he could call federal and state judges to ask
them to send their cases to the MDL, Judge Moreno said he would
not be comfortable doing so.  But, he said, he would agree to take
the cases if the judges called him.

"It has not been my practice to tell other judges what to do,"
Judge Moreno said, "especially in federal court, where there's a
mechanism in place to do so already."

Seventeen active personal injury cases against Japan's Takata are
in state court, said Rich Newsome of the Newsome Law Firm in
Orlando, which is handling four of them.

Judge Moreno exhibited his usual brand of humor and storytelling
at the hearing.  He invited out-of-town lawyers to speak first,
asking who had planes to catch. Laughter erupted when he recited a
letter from someone offering to be special master in the case.

"Where was he 15 years ago when I had the other MDL that went on a
little too long?" Moreno laughed. "Hey, maybe we do need a special
master."

David Bernick of Dechert, who represents Takata, noted, "Our
product has obviously been very controversial over the last few
months."  He said recalled air bags are not being preserved but
are being activated for testing purposes.

At least six deaths and 64 injuries have been blamed on air bag
inflators installed in an estimated 15 million U.S. vehicles made
by 10 auto companies.  A federal investigation and congressional
hearings are planned on the air bag issue.

On Feb. 20, the federal government announced it will start fining
Takata $14,000 per day for failing to fully cooperate with its
long-running investigation.

Takata has resisted demands to recall its driver's side air bags
nationwide although automakers have issued recalls themselves.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also accuses
Takata of failing to explain a "deluge" of 2.4 million pages of
documents turned over without a catalog or index.


TAKATA CORP: Judge to Appoint Lead Counsel to Oversee Airbag Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Julie Kay, writing for Law.com, reports that siding with the local
plaintiffs bar, U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno will appoint
five lead counsel and two liaison counsel to oversee the
consolidated Takata air bag case in Miami federal court.

In an order issued late on Feb. 24, Judge Moreno said any lawyers
interested in serving as lead counsel on the potentially lucrative
multidistrict litigation case should apply by March 6 listing
legal experience and financial resources.

Only one lawyer, David Boies -- dboies@bsfllp.com -- of Boies,
Schiller & Flexner, opposed the request, suggesting just three
lead counsel.

"The court recognizes the efficiency of appointing a small number
of lead counsel," the order said.  "However, due to the financial
requirements in undertaking this representation and the goal of
achieving some geographical diversity among lead counsel, the
court may appoint five lead counsel and two liaison counsel."

Judge Moreno also said he may name a general master to handle
details of the two tracks -- personal injury and class action
damages.  The judge also encouraged the defense lawyers to appoint
a defense leadership team and submit names by March 23.

Ten automakers have recalled more than 14 million U.S. cars with
Takata air bags since 2013. Six deaths have been linked to
exploding air bags in Hondas, and at least 64 injuries have been
reported, including 52 in Hondas.


TARGET BRANDS: Faces "Chamberlin" Suit Over Product Misbranding

Jennifer Chamberlin, on behalf of herself and all others similarly

0:15-cv-00578 (D. Minn., February 24, 2015), alleges that the
Defendant mislabeled its Up & Up Herbal dietary supplement
products because they failed to contain the medical herbs
represented by the label.

The Defendants own and operate a retailing company with its
principal place of business in Minneapolis, Minnesota doing
business in the State of Arkansas.

TD BANK: Ordered to Pay $67 Million to Investor Group
-----------------------------------------------------
Carlos Harrison, writing for Daily Business Review, reports that a
Miami federal judge gave TD Bank until Feb. 26 to pay $67 million
to a group of investors in disbarred attorney Scott Rothstein's
failed $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.

U.S. District Judge Marcia G. Cooke's order could finally bring an
end to a three-year battle over the $32 million in compensatory
damages and $35 million in punitive damages awarded by a jury to
Texas-based Coquina Investments LLC.

TD Bank's motion asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh
Circuit to stay Cooke's order was denied by a three-judge panel
Feb. 20.

Coquina attorney David Mandel -- dmandel@mandel-law.com -- in
Miami called Judge Cooke's decision a welcome closure to the
lengthy legal fight.

"It's been more than five long years since TD Bank defrauded us
and a lot of other investors, and over three years since TD
cheated in spectacular fashion at the trial, and still lost," said
Mr. Mandel of Mandel & Mandel.  "Coquina is very pleased that it's
finally time for TD to pay the piper."

Judge Cooke authorized Mr. Mandel to collect from TD Bank's
appellate bond if the payment is late.

All may not be done, however.  TD Bank spokeswoman Judith Schmidt
on Feb. 23 said, "While TD Bank will comply with the court's
order, we are disappointed with the ruling, and we have filed an
appeal."

The lawsuit began in 2010 when Coquina alleged TD Bank employees
knew about Rothstein's settlement financing fraud and helped him
perpetrate it.  A jury awarded damages to Coquina in July 2012.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the verdict last July and refused to
rehear the case. In its motion to enforce the judgment, Coquina
noted the deadline to petition for a writ of certiorari with the
U.S. Supreme Court has passed.

"Judge, this is like a football game," Mandel said in his argument
before Cooke on Feb. 11.  "The game is over, the crowd has left,
and the cleaning crew is working in the stands.  In spite of TD's
numerous unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, the scoreboard shows
that we won 67 to nothing.  And despite everything, TD is here
today throwing a Hail Mary pass, not acknowledging that there is
no time left on the clock."

He accused the bank of stalling and noted, "Several of Coquina's
partners are elderly and, judge, shouldn't in fairness they get a
chance to use the money the jury awarded for their injuries during
their lifetimes?"

TD Bank attorney Mark W. Kinghorn -- mkinghorn@mcguirewoods.com --
of McGuireWoods argued Coquina would receive all but $7.5 million
of the $32 million in compensatory damages from the bankruptcy
trustee for Rothstein's law firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler.  He
maintained payment from the bank would amount to a double recovery
for the investors.

Mandel agreed Coquina already received $9.1 million from the
bankruptcy trustee but asked the judge to order the amount to be
returned to the bankruptcy liquidator.  Judge Cooke agreed.

Mr. Rothstein was given a 50-year sentence after pleading guilty
in January 2010 to two counts of fraud and three counts of
conspiracy.  In December 2011, he testified former TD Bank
regional vice president Frank Spinosa aided him in defrauding
investors.

Mr. Spinosa invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-
incrimination 193 times when he was called to testify in the
Coquina trial.  He faces a fraud conspiracy indictment.

UNC-CHAPEL HILL: Hires Skadden to Defend Academic Fraud Suits
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nell Gluckman, writing for The Am Law Daily, reports that Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom has been hired to represent the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in litigation,
accreditation and regulatory matters resulting from a 2014 report
detailing widespread instances of academic fraud involving
thousands of students, many of whom were athletes.

The report, which resulted from an eight-month investigation
headed by Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft's white-collar defense and
investigations group chairman, Kenneth Wainstein, revealed that
over 3,100 students took so-called paper classes, which were not
taught by a professor and only required students to write one
essay to receive class credit.  These classes, where students
often got high grades despite poor-quality work, were popular
among athletes who had to meet eligibility requirements in order
to continue to participate on college teams, the report said.

Last year, two cases were filed against UNC regarding the academic
fraud, sibling publication Corporate Counsel reports.  In McAdoo
v. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a football player
is suing the university for allegedly failing to adequately
educate him, and in Willingham v. the University of North
Carolina, a university employee claims she was retaliated against
after she reported instances of academic fraud to The News &
Observer.

Skadden litigation partner Patrick Fitzgerald will represent UNC
in the litigation, as well as in matters related to the
investigation and the university's accreditation, which the
school's accrediting body announced it would review as a result of
revelations from Wainstein's report.  Also on the Skadden team are
litigation partners Stephen Robinson, Michael Scudder and Lisa
Gilford, as well as litigation associate Marianne Combs and other
Skadden attorneys on an as-needed basis, according to the firm's
contract, which was released to The News & Observer in response to
a public records request.

The contract says the Skadden partners will be paid a blended rate
of $990 an hour, "which represents a significant discount off
standard firm rates in recognition of the university's public
interest mission." Associates and counsel will bill between $450
and $975 an hour, the contract says.

The contract states that for each of the two cases against the
university, fees for litigating the motion to dismiss, including
oral arguments, will be capped at $325,000.

The contract says that Skadden may also work on separate
litigation relating to its sexual assault policies and response to
sexual assault claims and litigation alleging discrimination by
the university's admissions department.  As an example, the
contract cites Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North
Carolina, a case brought by a group of college applicants who
allege the university unfairly discriminated against Asian
applicants.  The group brought a similar case against Harvard
University.

"We wanted and needed a firm that had a national profile," says
David Parker, university interim vice chancellor and general
counsel. Given the scope of the matters at hand, he says the
university saw in Skadden "a firm that could cover a wide range of
litigation matters and in a sense step back and act as a
coordinator."

In hiring Mr. Fitzgerald, the university has selected a litigator
with a long track record working on high-profile cases.
Mr. Fitzgerald joined Skadden in 2012 after serving over a decade
as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.  In
that post, he headed investigations and prosecutions of former
Illinois Governor George Ryan, convicted of fraud, racketeering
and lying to the FBI in 2006; former Hollinger International Inc.
chairman Conrad Black, convicted of fraud in 2007; and former
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, convicted of public corruption
in 2011.  The Chicago-based attorney also tried the case of Lewis
"Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff who
was convicted in 2007 of lying about the leak of an undercover CIA
agent.

When he was hired by Skadden two years ago, Mr. Fitzgerald told
The American Lawyer that he was reticent about becoming a criminal
defense attorney and thus agreed to come aboard only to help
companies conducting internal investigations, work as a monitor or
advise boards of companies in trouble.  UNC would appear to fit
the bill.

"Skadden has extensive experience representing clients on their
most critical litigation issues," he said in a university press
release.  "We are committed to providing ongoing legal support and
counsel to Carolina."

The university has already been billed $3.1 million by Cadwalader
for its work on the report, which was released last October,
according to the university's website.  Those costs were covered
by a UNC-Chapel Hill Foundation account that is not tied to state
funding or tuition dollars, the website states.

"Given that we were brought in to conduct an outside, independent
investigation, we and the university thought it best to let
another firm serve as advocate for the university in these
particular lawsuits," Cadwalader said in response to questions
about why the firm will not continue to work with the university.

UNC is not the only public university facing litigation and
mounting legal fees. Pennsylvania State University has been billed
about $55.7 million in legal and consulting fees as a result of
revelations that former football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually
abused eight boys, the school's website states.
