ACCO BRANDS: Recalls Magnetic Boards Due to Laceration Hazard
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
ACCO Brands Corp., of Lake Zurich, Ill., announced a voluntary
recall of about 3.3 Million Quartet Magnetic and Dry Erase Boards.
Consumers should stop using this product unless otherwise
instructed.  It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a
recalled consumer product.

Sharp metal edges on the back of the boards can become exposed
while removing mounted boards, posing a laceration hazard.

This recall involves eight styles of Quartet magnetic and dry
erase boards, including calendar styles and combination boards
with push pins. The boards were sold between January 2005 and
December 2013, in eight sizes: 5 1/2 x 14, 8 1/2 x 11, 11 1/2 x 11
1/2, 11 x 17, 12 x 12, 14 x14, 17 x 17 and 17 x 23, and in various
colors including white, silver, black, blue, green, pink, purple,
grey and multicolor. The Quartet logo is printed on the bottom of
the boards.

The firm has received seven reports of hand, finger and foot
laceration injuries, including four that required stitches.

Pictures of the Recalled Products available at:
http://is.gd/guoghf

The recalled products were manufactured in China and sold at Ace
Hardware, Fred Meyer, Menards, Office Depot and other stores
nationwide and online from January 2005 through December 2013 for
between $5 and $10.

Consumers should immediately contact ACCO for a caution label that
instructs consumers to wear heavy gloves when removing the boards.
This recall does not require that consumers remove the mounted
boards. Consumers should affix the caution label with safe removal
instructions for when needed.


ADVANCED RECOVERY: Judge Narrows Claim in "McWilliams" Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Carlton W. Reeves of the Southern District of
Mississippi, Northern Division granted in part and denied in part
defendant's motion to dismiss in the case WENDY McWILLIAMS,
individually and, on behalf of others similarly situated
Plaintiff, v. ADVANCED RECOVERY SYSTEMS, INC.; YOUNG WELLS
WILLIAMS, P.A. Defendants, CAUSE NO. 3:15-CV-70-CWR-LRA (S.D.
Miss.)

In August 2014, Young Wells Williams sent Wendy McWilliams a debt
collection letter, which partly contains the following:

"Your account with ADVANCED RECOVERY SYSTEMS, INC., has been
turned over to this office for collection. The amount you owe is
$2,166.80.UNLESS YOU DISPUTE THE VALIDITY OF THE DEBT WITHIN
THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THE DEBT WILL BE
PRESUMED TO BE VALID.IF YOU NOTIFY US WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS THAT
THE DEBT OR ANY PORTION OF IT IS DISPUTED, WE WILL MAIL
VERIFICATION OF THE DEBT TO YOU.ALSO, UPON YOUR REQUEST WE WILL
PROVIDE YOU THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR, IF THE
ORIGINAL CREDITOR IS DIFFERENT FROM THE CURRENT ONE.THIS LETTER IS
FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR
THAT PURPOSE."

Following her receipt of the letter, McWilliams orally disputed
the debt with Young Wells Williams, got the hospital to waive the
debt, and faxed the hospital's confirmation letter to Young Wells
Williams. Despite the developments, she claims that the defendants
sued her for the debt in the state courts of Mississippi.

Wendy McWilliams filed a class action suit and made claims that
Advanced Recovery Systems and the Young Wells Williams law firm
violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S.C.
Section 1692 et seq., when they attempted to collect a debt
McWilliams allegedly owed to St. Dominic's Hospital.

In Count I, McWilliams alleges that three sentences in the letter
incorrectly communicate the validation notice required by the
FDCPA. In Count II, McWilliams alleges that the threat of
litigation -- "You MUST send your payment to me . . . to avoid the
possibility of being sued" -- overshadowed and rendered
ineffective the validation notice. McWilliams is saying that
disputing the debt would be futile because Young Wells intended to
file suit unless plaintiff made prompt payment. In Count III,
McWilliams claims the summons violated Section 1692e(10) of the
FDCPA because it falsely stated that she owed a debt, that she
still had the right to dispute the debt's validity, and that her
failure to contest the validity within 30 days would result in it
being presumed valid by the court.

Young Wells Williams argues that Counts II and III fail to state a
claim prompting it to file a motion to dismiss.

Judge Reeves granted in part and denied in part defendant's motion
to dismiss.  A copy of Judge Reeves's order dated June 5, 2015, is
available at http://is.gd/nC1B6Yfrom Leagle.com.

AEROPOSTALE INC: 2nd Cir. Affirms Settlement Approval Order
-----------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed
the order of the District Court in the appealed case J. ROBERT
ARBUTHNOT, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, THE CITY OF PROVIDENCE, Individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. DONALD
ROBERT PIERSON, II, Objector-Appellant, AEROPOSTALE, INC., THOMAS
P. JOHNSON, MARC D. MILLER, Defendants, NO. 14-2135 (2nd Cir.)

Objector-Appellant Donald Robert Pierson, II, appeals from an
order of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, rejecting Pierson's objections and granting
plaintiff-appellee City of Providence's motions for final approval
of the class action settlement, plan of allocation, and attorneys'
fees and expenses.

Pierson contends that the district court erred in approving the
class action settlement because class members were not provided
adequate notice and erred in approving the requested attorneys'
fees award because the notice there was also inadequate and the
award was excessive and premised on insufficient facts.

AIR CHINA: Air Cargo Class Certified, Hausfeld Named Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable John Gleeson certified a class of direct purchaser
plaintiffs against defendant airlines in an antitrust lawsuit
concerning illegal price-fixing of air cargo shipping services.
Judge Gleeson also appointed Hausfeld and three other law firms as
class counsel.

The Order is the culmination of years of briefing and hearings to
determine whether the class should be certified. In October 2014,
Magistrate Judge Viktor V. Pohorelsky issued a 112-page decision,
recommending that the Court grant the plaintiffs' motion for class
certification. "Class certification will allow hundreds of
thousands of claims to be resolved adequately, efficiently, and
fairly," Judge Pohorelsky wrote. Elsewhere, Judge Pohorelsky
observed that "plaintiffs have submitted a trove of direct and
circumstantial evidence that strongly suggests the existence of an
agreement among the defendants to fix prices," amounting to
"compelling common evidence of a global conspiracy."

"This decision is an important step forward for the class members
seeking compensation for the damage caused by this multi-year
cartel," said Hausfeld Partner Brent Landau, who delivered both
the opening statement and the closing argument at the multi-day
class certification hearing. "We look forward to bringing the
remaining cartelists to trial," he added.

Many of the original airline defendants have already settled with
the plaintiffs, totaling more than $1 billion across twenty-seven
settlements. Remaining in the case are defendants Air China, Air
India, Air New Zealand, and U.S. air cargo carrier Polar Air Cargo
and its parent, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings.

APPLE INC: Faces Class Suit Over Spotify Subscription Charges
-------------------------------------------------------------
Evan Thomas, writing for WSBTv2, reported that Apple looks to have
a fresh antitrust investigation brewing: this time over, the cut
it takes from rival streaming companies using its App Store.

The latest complaints are from Spotify, which has urged its users
to avoid the extra fees of Apple's App Store when subscribing to
the streaming service.  But it's not clear if Spotify has managed
to get the Federal Trade Commission involved yet. Government reps
did not comment when reached by Ars Technica.

It does follow earlier reports that Apple was looking to squelch
Spotify's free tier or take advantage of its heavyweight status to
cut better deals with record labels.

But nothing has come of these complaints yet. So what does it take
to make an antitrust fight with Apple official?

One iTunes complaint started as a class-action case in 2005. The
suit alleged by changing its encoding on iTunes songs, Apple
effectively held a monopoly on downloaded music.  It didn't stick.
The court dismissed the claims.

In 2007, Apple faced inquiry from the European Commission over
allegations it was charging more for iTunes tracks in the UK than
elsewhere in the EU. The Commission found no evidence of the
behavior, but Apple did subsequently lower its prices.

A 2010 Department of Justice suit alleged Apple and a pile of
other high-tech companies had agreed not to poach one another's
employees. This time, a judge agreed and found Apple was in
violation of the Sherman Act, which prohibits antitrust activity.
Apple settled.

And in 2012, the Justice Department took Apple to court over e-
books. The case alleged Apple was colluding with publishers to set
higher prices for digital book downloads and beat Amazon in the
market. And again, a judge found Apple was in violation of the
Sherman Act. Apple lost its appeal, too.

Whether we'll reach that point with Spotify's complaints remains
to be seen. Now Apple is running its own competing streaming
service, it could be at higher risk of antitrust complaints there,
too.


ARCTIC CAT: Recalls Prowler 500 HDX Vehicles Due to Fire Hazard
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Arctic Cat, announced a voluntary recall of about 2,700 Arctic Cat
Prowler 500 HDX. Consumers should stop using this product unless
otherwise instructed.  It is illegal to resell or attempt to
resell a recalled consumer product.

Fuel can leak from the fuel fitting at the throttle body, posing a
fire hazard.

This recall involves model year 2014 Arctic Cat Prowler 500 HDX
and model year 2015 Prowler 500 HDX models. The recalled vehicles
include vehicle identification numbers (VIN) from 303194 through
305166. The VIN number is located on the rear frame tube under the
rear of the box. The vehicles are green, red, vibrant red
metallic, or emerald green metallic. "Arctic Cat" is printed on
each side of the hood. Also 500 is printed on each side on the
front fenders, HDX on each side of the rear cargo box, and "Arctic
Cat" on the cargo box tail gate.

No consumer incidents have been reported.

Pictures of the Recalled Products available at:
http://is.gd/oMrZUu

The recalled products were manufactured in United States and sold
at Arctic Cat dealers nationwide from August 2013 to July 2015 for
between about $11,000 and $12,400.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Prowlers and
contact an Arctic Cat dealer to schedule a free repair.  Arctic
Cat is contacting its customers directly.


BARCLAYS BANK: Accused of Manipulating Energy Market in New York
----------------------------------------------------------------
Adam Klasfeld at Courthouse News Service reports that nearly two
years after federal regulators fined Barclays Bank $435 million, a
California irrigation district filed a federal class action
accusing the British bank of similar antitrust violations.

The Merced Irrigation District sued the British bank on June 23,
claiming Barclays and four of its energy traders manipulated
electric prices from November 2006 until Dec. 31, 2008.

The irrigation district seeks damages for the "supracompetive"
prices it paid for electricity.

The 41-page lawsuit cites the July 16, 2013, findings of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which said that traders
Daniel Brin, Scott Connelly, Karen Levine and Ryan Smith engaged
in an "affirmative, coordinated and intentional effort" to steer
index prices published by InterContinental Exchange and Dow Jones
at four major Western U.S. trading hubs to favor the British bank.

FERC took action against the bank and its traders, whose combined
penalties came to $453 million.

Merced's lawsuit targets only Barclays and does not specify the
damages sought.

"Barclays' traders knew their dailies trading was losing money and
that it would prevent free market forces from operating in the
relevant markets, but they were willing to accept such losses
because the uneconomic dailies trading was part of their
manipulative scheme to acquire and maintain monopoly power over
daily index prices to benefit their related financial positions,"
the complaint states.

"This willfulness and intent of Barclays is further demonstrated
through direct evidence, such as emails and instant messages
('IMs'), suspicious timing or repetition of transactions,
execution of transactions benefiting derivative positions, and
trading which would be economically irrational but for the
manipulative scheme," it continues.  "Barclays' traders
coordinated their individual and collective actions in furtherance
of the manipulative scheme."

Quoting extensively from the FERC report, Merced's complaint dives
into "numerous written communications demonstrating Barclays'
traders' knowing participation in the manipulative scheme."

On Nov. 3, 2006, Smith bragged that he "totally fuckked [sic] with
the Palo" Verde market index, according to the complaint.

Smith allegedly added that he "just started lifting the piss out
of the palo."

His colleague Connelly joked about regulators on Feb. 28, 2007,
according to the lawsuit.

Responding to a colleague who called the market a "shitshow,"
Connelly replied: "crazy -I love it . . . your boy started crying
this morning . . . he sent me an ice [InterContinental Exchange]
message -said he wass [sic] calling FERC . . . lol."  (Ellipses in
complaint.)

The complaint says that exchange referred to a FERC order
assessing penalties.

The proposed class includes "Any individual or entity that held
any contract which settled against the ICE [InterContinental
Exchange] or Dow Jones published daily index prices for peak or
non-peak power at either Mid-Columbia, Palo Verde, South Path 15
or North Path 15" during the relevant time frame, and "was damaged
by movements in such index prices caused by Barclays' unlawful
scheme."

A subclass consists of class members "who reside or are
incorporated in California."

Merced seeks class certification, restitution, and damages for
unjust enrichment and violations of the Sherman Act, and the
California Business & Professional Code.

The California energy crisis of 2000-2001 showed that electricity
prices were fairly easy to manipulate, and that federal
regulators, primarily FERC, were unable to keep up with the
traders.  Enron profited hugely during the crisis, for a while,
then collapsed in an accounting scandal.

BARRICK GOLD: Judge Rejects Motion for Reconsideration
------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin of the Southern District of New
York denied defendants' motion for reconsideration in the case
entitled IN RE BARRICK GOLD SECURITIES LITIGATION, NO. 1 CIV. 3851
(SAS) (S.D.N.Y.)

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint arguing
that one of the statements relied on in plaintiffs' complaint was
taken out of context, and referred only to compliance with a new
Argentinian law, and not to compliance with Chilean environmental
requirements.

Plaintiffs alleged that the statement was continually repeated
throughout the class period, and defendants had not provided
context for the other instances.

Judge Scheindlin issued an opinion and order on April 1, 2015,
granting in part and denying in part defendants' motion to dismiss
the plaintiffs' amended complaint.

On April 15, 2015, defendants filed a motion for partial
reconsideration on two discrete issues:

     1. Defendants request that the court find that every
repetition of a particular statement regarding environmental
approvals be dismissed as irrelevant, and therefore dismiss
plaintiffs' claims relating to environmental approvals.

     2. Defendants request that the court dismiss plaintiffs'
section 10(b) claims against defendants Potter, Gonzales, and
Kinver pursuant to Janus Capital Group, Inc. v. First Derivative
Traders. Defendant Veenman also filed a motion to certify the
April 1 order for interlocutory appeal solely on the issue of the
pleading standard for control person liability under Section 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act.

Judge Scheindlin denied defendants' motion for reconsideration.
Defendant Veenman's motion for certification for interlocutory
appeal is denied.

June 2, 2015, is available at http://is.gd/sctvvbfrom Leagle.com.

BIOSECURITY NEW ZEALAND: Kiwifruit Body's Suit Can Proceed
----------------------------------------------------------
Radio New Zealand News reported that a body seeking compensation
for damage caused by the kiwifruit vine disease Psa has been
granted permission by the High Court at Wellington to pursue its
class action.

The Kiwifruit Claim represents 72 growers and post-harvest
operators who estimate Psa has cost them about NZ$280 million,
while the Government itself has calculated the damages the disease
has caused to New Zealand at NZ$885 million.

The claim alleges Biosecurity New Zealand was negligent by
allowing Psa into the country.

Spokesperson Matthew Hooton said more growers were able to sign up
to the action if they did so by 9 October.

"If growers feel that they have lost money as a result of Psa in
net terms, they've got an opportunity to sign up and be part of
this claim. It'll only cost them [NZ]$500. For large orchards it's
[NZ]$1500.

"If the claim is not successful then growers can't be charged any
more.

"The court has ruled that LPF, the litigation funder, must put
security aside for costs if the claim is unsuccessful.

"What that means is that after a grower has paid their [NZ]$500,
if the Kiwifruit Claim fails and even if in the end the courts say
the Kiwifruit Claim has to pay costs to the Crown, there is no way
that a grower can ever have to pay more than their initial
[NZ]$500."

The national kiwifruit growers body, New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers
Incorporated, has previously stated its opposition to the
Kiwifruit claim, saying it could ruin the industry's relationship
with the Government.


BIOSECURITY NEW ZEALAND: Kiwifruit Class Suit "Unlikely to Win"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Elaine Fisher, writing for Sunlive, reported that the High Court
in Wellington has given permission for the Kiwifruit Claim to
proceed against the Crown -- but the industry's grower body doubts
the case will be successful.

Neil Trebilco, president of New Zealand Kiwifruit Growers Inc,
says legal advice to the organisation is that the likelihood of
success is slight.

"While it is up to growers to make their own decisions on whether
or not to be part of the claim," explains Neil, "NZKGI's view is
that the industry should be looking forward, not to the past."

The High Court ruled in favour of the class action over claims
Bio-security NZ was negligent in allowing the vine disease Psa to
be introduced into New Zealand.

Initially, 72 growers and the post-harvest company Seeka signed up
to take the case, and the court has also ruled that other growers
and post-harvest operators affected by Psa have until October 9 to
sign up to claim.

Neil says despite the severe impact of Psa on the industry, this
season has seen its biggest-ever harvest of kiwifruit and the
future is looking bright.

"One of the issues for any primary industry is that there is no
guarantee that bio-security incursions won't happen," he says.

"If every time one occurs there is court action, there would be a
lot of cases."

NZKGI is pleased with government moves to increase border
security, including the provisions of additional resources and
plans to implement a levy on passenger arrivals and departures.

"We see these as positive moves," adds Neil. "NZKGI and Kiwifruit
Vine Health work very closely with government on bio-security and
value that partnership."

Kiwifruit Claim spokesperson, Matthew Hooton, says 72 growers and
one post-harvest operator had registered, paid their one-off fee
and completed the formal paperwork to sign up to the claim.

"In a nutshell, the claim alleges that Biosecurity NZ was
negligent in allowing Psa to be introduced into New Zealand,"
explains Matthew.

"It cost New Zealand at least $885 million, according to
Biosecurity NZ's own independent study, and the plaintiffs believe
it should be held accountable and pay damages for all foreseeable
losses.

"All kiwifruit growers and post-harvest operators can join the
claim for a one-off fee of [NZ]$500, [NZ]$1,000 or [NZ]$1,500
depending on the size of their orchard, and post-harvest operators
for a one-off fee of [NZ]$10,000.

"It's totally up to them whether or not to join the claim but only
growers and post-harvest operators that sign up to the action
before the court's October 9 deadline can benefit from any
settlement or award of damages."

The High Court say growers and post-harvest operators should be
allowed to bring the proceedings as a representative or class
action, which had been opposed by the Crown Law Office.

The court says there is no objection to the litigation funder, LPF
Litigation Funding Limited -- a 100 per cent kiwi-owned company --
and approved the terms of the funding agreement, which had been
signed by an initial 72 growers and one post-harvest operator.

An initial [NZ]$250,000 security for costs is to be lodged by LPF,
increasing as the litigation progresses.

The chairman of The Kiwifruit Claim, John Cameron, says the result
was expected.  "We believe we have a strong case and we're getting
our day in court to see this through," says John.

The plaintiffs are represented by a committee consisting of John
Cameron (chairman), Bob Burt and Grant Eynon.  It is expected
additional plaintiffs will join the claim now it has been given
the go-ahead by the High Court.

The combined losses of those who have already signed up is
estimated to be over [NZ]$280 million. Further information on The
Kiwifruit Claim and a forum where growers can lodge their
questions about the claim can be found at: www.kiwifruitcalim.org

CAREMARK LLC: E.D. Mo. Judge Stays St. Louis Heart Center Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Thomas C. Mummert, III of the Eastern District of
Missouri, Eastern Division, granted defendant's motion to stay in
the case ST. LOUIS HEART CENTER, INC., Plaintiff, v. CAREMARK,
L.L.C., Defendant, CASE NO. 4:12CV2151 TCM (E.D. Mo.)

St. Louis Heart Center, Inc. filed a suit against Caremark, L.L.C.
for sending an unsolicited facsimile which did not include the
opt-out notice required by 47 C.F.R. Section 64.1200(a)(3) in
violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47
U.S.C. Section 227.

Allegations in the amended complaint include that Caremark failed
to correctly determine the legal restrictions on the use of
facsimile transmissions and the application of those restrictions
to the transmission of facsimile advertisements. Plaintiff further
alleges that a class action is merited because, in part, there is
a common question of whether Caremark engaged in a pattern of
sending unsolicited fax advertisements. Plaintiff requests an
award of treble damages on the grounds that Caremark's violation
was knowing.

In a separate motion, plaintiff seeks certification of a class
defined as "'All persons sent one or more telephone facsimile
messages in March 2011 "introducing a new program, Pharmacy
Advisor.'"

Caremark seeks a stay pending resolution by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of its petition requesting a
retroactive waiver of the requirement of an opt-out notice in
faxes sent with consent. Plaintiff opposes a stay, arguing that
the possibility of Caremark being granted a waiver is irrelevant
because there is no question of his or any other class member's
consent to the fax and Caremark's request for an indefinite stay
will prejudice the class and unnecessarily and unfairly delay
adjudication of the case.

Magistrate Judge Mummert granted defendant's motion to stay and
the proceedings is stayed until final rulings are issued by the
FCC on the petition of Caremark, L.L.C., requesting a retroactive
waiver of the FCC's opt-out notice regulations and on any appeals
filed in connection with the FCC's rulings. It is further ordered
that every 90 days beginning October 1, 2015, Caremark, L.L.C.,
shall advise the court of the status of the proceedings before the
FCC and any appeal filed in connection thereto.

CARGILL INC: Salt Buyers Have Until Aug. 7 to File Claim
--------------------------------------------------------
Henri Gendreau, writing for The Columbus Dispatch, reported that
Franklin County communities will be paying more for road salt this
summer, but it won't be the budget-busting prices some Ohio cities
saw last winter.

And a settlement between the state attorney general's office and
two salt giants could mean more financial help down the road.

Local governments and other buyers who paid for salt from Cargill
Inc. and Morton Salt Inc. between July 2008 and June 2011 have
until Aug. 7 to submit a claim to Attorney General Mike DeWine's
office.

DeWine announced a $11.5 million settlement with Cargill and
Morton in June that ended a 2012 lawsuit that accused the
companies of fixing prices, forcing buyers to pay above-market
rates -- in some cases, more than $100 a ton. Both companies have
denied wrongdoing.

Dan Tierney, a DeWine spokesman, said the distribution will come
in late summer or early fall and be based proportionally on the
amount of salt an agency bought. But not all applicants will
receive money, because of limits DeWine's office plans to put in
place. "Sometimes, when you get a class-action (suit), you get a
check for 93 cents," Tierney said. "We don't want to have that
happen."

As of July 29 afternoon, 328 entities -- which include cities,
townships and school districts -- had applied for money. Only four
of the two-dozen agencies in Franklin County eligible for the
settlement submitted claims: Reynoldsburg, Gahanna, Grandview
Heights and the Franklin County engineer's office, which said it
spent $1.8 million on salt over the years the settlement covers.
Columbus, like many other municipalities, has a contract to
purchase salt through the Ohio Department of Transportation. The
city just ordered 7,000 tons of salt through ODOT's summer
contract and has committed to 13,500 tons for the winter, said
Rick Tilton, assistant director of the Department of Public
Service.

Those rates in Franklin County are $73.65 and $68.73 per ton,
respectively. Prices were $63.66 and $70.22.

"I don't want to say it's a gamble, but that's kind of what it
is," ODOT spokesman Matt Bruning said about whether to go for the
summer or winter contract. "It's like deciding whether to fill up
your tank with gasoline."

But those prices are a far cry from winter rates, when 25 counties
were paying more than $100 a ton -- if they could get salt at all.
This winter's highest price is $85.12, in Morgan County. Prices
vary from county to county, mostly because of transportation
costs, Bruning said.

This summer, 310 agencies bought through ODOT, which put 472,832
tons of salt out to bid. The 452 winter partners are seeking
488,832 tons.

"When everyone starts the winter with an empty salt barn,
obviously everybody has to buy more, and that's what's caused our
prices to go up," Bruning said.

"The best thing we can hope for is a couple of mild winters. That
would go a long way in helping us see lower salt prices."

The National Weather Service said it's too soon to say what this
winter will bring. But the past three years saw above-average
snowfall in Columbus, and municipalities aren't taking chances.
ODOT is seeking 961,664 tons of salt and used 947,498 tons; its
10-year average is 693,425 tons a year.

Despite higher summer ODOT prices, salt buyers were mostly pleased
with rates and praised the settlement, which could mean more
revenue for salt down the road.

"Quite frankly, we were unfairly put in a position to buy salt,"
said Chris Mullins, Pickaway County engineer. "I guess it's a
little bit of a return of the taxpayer dollar."

Madison County Engineer David Brand said that his office had just
applied to DeWine's office.

"We're waiting to hear just like everybody else," he said. "Any
bit would help, but in the long run, what I think we all hope for
is a level playing field where we can count on a competitive bid
for rock salt so we can keep the roads safe for the travelling
public."

While not topping the $100 mark, salt prices remain high, Brand
said. This winter's rates are $23 more than what he paid in 2013.

"That costs us an extra $70,000 to $100,000," he said. "That's one
less mile of road that's going to be paved."

But prices aren't as high as some of the years cited in the
settlement, he said. "One of those years I had to get salt from
Chile at $150 a ton because there was no other salt available."

Lisa Koppin, salt-bid coordinator for the Southwest Ohio
Purchasers for Government, said her 73 members got much lower salt
rates -- between $65 and $70 a ton -- with a total request of
125,000 tons.

One of those members is Whitehall, which contracts with ODOT but
is using Southwest as a backup, said Zachary Woodruff, director of
public service.

"Given a full year to recover, the salt price has dropped to a
much more manageable amount, (with) less demand from," he said. At
the end of 2014, Whitehall was "paying upwards of $120 a ton, so
these (prices) are substantially better," Woodruff said.

For Rob James, Dublin's director of streets and utilities, ODOT
prices also come as welcome news, comparatively.

"They've been escalating in recent years," he said. "It seems like
anything under $100 a ton is a great deal."


CEDAR RAPIDS, IA: Judge Dismisses Suit Over Traffic System
----------------------------------------------------------
Chief District Judge Linda R. Reade of the Northern District of
Iowa, Cedar Rapids Division, granted defendants' motion to dismiss
in the case GARY HUGHES et al., Plaintiffs, v. CITY OF CEDAR
RAPIDS, IOWA & GATSO USA, INC., Defendants, NO. 14-CV-111-LRR
(N.D. Iowa)

The City of Cedar Rapids in Iowa implemented an Automated Traffic
Enforcement (ATE) system pursuant to the Cedar Rapids Code of
Ordinances. The city contracted with defendant Gatso USA, Inc.
(Gatso) to assist the city in installing and operating the ATE
system.

Under the ATE system, a camera captures an image of a vehicle
either failing to stop at a red light or traveling faster than the
posted speed limit. The city then mails a notice of violation to
the registered owner of the vehicle, as required by the Cedar
Rapids Code of Ordinances. A notice of violation informs the
registered owner of the vehicle of the violation and that he or
she may either waive the right to a hearing by paying the civil
penalty or contest the violation.

Plaintiff Gary Hughes is a resident of Iowa. Hughes brings a claim
because he believes that he rightfully has feared that, as a
vehicle owner regularly using the roads in Cedar Rapids, he may be
subject to civil liability resulting from the operation of the
City's ATE system. He has not yet received a civil penalty under
the ATE ordinance.

Plaintiffs Arash Yarpezeshkan, Edward G. Robinson and James Louis
Sparks are all residents of Iowa. Yarpezeshkan, Robinson and
Sparks all received notices of determination.  Yarpezeshkan,
Robinson and Sparks all paid the fines contained in the notices of
determination.

Plaintiffs Krisanne M. Duhaime and Gerald Reid Duhaime are married
and are residents of Iowa. They received a notice of violation and
traveled to Cedar Rapids and appeared for an administrative
hearing. The administrative appeal board found the Duhaimes
liable.

Plaintiff David Mazgaj is a resident of Iowa. Mazgaj received a
notice of determination. Mazgaj appeared for an administrative
hearing, at which the administrative appeal board found him
liable. Mazgaj paid the fine.

Plaintiff Susan M. Dumbaugh is a resident of Iowa. Dumbaugh
received a notice of violation. Dumbaugh appeared for an
administrative hearing. At the hearing, the administrative appeal
board found Dumbaugh liable. The Cedar Rapids Police Department
subsequently sent Dumbaugh a letter dismissing the citation and
finding that Dumbaugh had no liability for the citation.

Plaintiff Jerry Northrup is a resident of Florida. Northrup
received a notice of violation and paid the fine. Plaintiff Daniel
Ray French is a resident of Minnesota. Plaintiff Jeffrey V.
Stimpson is a resident of West Virginia. French and Stimpson both
received notices of determination and also paid the fine.

Plaintiff Roger L. Lee is a resident of Minnesota. Lee received a
notice of violation. Lee appeared telephonically for an
administrative hearing to challenge the notice of violation. The
administrative appeal board found Lee liable and issued him a
notice of determination. Lee requested a Municipal Infraction be
filed in the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Small Claims
Division. The action is still pending.

Plaintiffs filed a class action petition in the Iowa District
Court for Linn County, Iowa, Case No. EQCV081602. On October 3,
2014, defendants removed the case to the federal district court on
the basis of federal question jurisdiction.

On December 17, 2014, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint.
Defendants filed a motion to dismiss arguing that plaintiffs Gary
Hughes, David Mazgaj and Roger Lee lack standing to bring any
claim, all plaintiffs lack standing to bring a due process claim,
plaintiff Susan M. Dumbaugh's claim is moot and all plaintiffs
fail to state claims on which relief can be granted.

Chief District Judge Reade granted defendants' motion to dismiss
the second amended complaint.  A copy of Chief District Judge
Reade's order dated July 2, 2015 is available at

CROWDFLOWER INC: Provisional Settlement Class Certified in "Otey"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Jon S. Tigar of the Northern District of California
ruled on the plaintiffs' motions in the case CHRISTOPHER OTEY, et
al., Plaintiffs, v. CROWDFLOWER, INC., et al., Defendants, CASE
NO. 12-CV-05524-JST (N.D. Cal.)

CrowdFlower, Inc. is an internet-based company that distributes
small and simple repetitive tasks to individuals in exchange for
pay on a per-task basis. CrowdFlower gets projects from various
customers, breaks the projects into pieces, and assigns the pieces
to contributors.

Named plaintiffs Christopher Otey and Mary Greth performed tasks
for CrowdFlower through a website called Amazon Mechanical Turk
(AMT). The gravamen of their complaint is that CrowdFlower pays
its contributors, whom it classifies as independent contractors,
less than the minimum wage under FLSA, 29 U.S.C. Section 206(a),
and Oregon law, ORS Sections 653.025 and 652.150.  Plaintiffs
bring their Oregon law claims as class action claims under
Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 23.

The court granted plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification
of a collective action, and conditionally certified the following
class:

All persons who performed crowdsourced work in the United States
and its territories in response to any online request by
CrowdFlower for crowdsourced work, or any online notification by
CrowdFlower that crowdsourced work was available at any time from
three years prior to the date on which notice is issued to the
date on which notice is issued.

On January 24, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion for approval of
FLSA collective action settlement, final collective action
certification for settlement purposes only, and authorization for
the parties to effectuate their settlement, which the court denied
on April 15, 2014.

On December 16, 2015, the court denied plaintiffs' motion for
approval of a modified settlement agreement, identifying several
remaining deficiencies that precluded approval at that stage.

Plaintiffs moved for approval of the parties' second modified
settlement agreement, final collective action certification for
settlement purposes, authorization for the parties to effectuate
their settlement agreement, and equitable tolling.

Defendants have filed a statement in support of plaintiffs' motion
for approval pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-3(b).

Judge Tigar grants approval of the parties' second modified
collective action settlement and decertifies the conditionally
certified collective action, and certifies a provisional
settlement class of:

all contributors who performed CrowdFlower managed tasks on behalf
of customers posted on AMT at any time from October 26, 2009,
through the Approval Date, who accessed said tasks from an IP
address located in the United States or any of its territories
(specifically, American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto
Rico, and the Northern Mariana Islands), and whose cumulative
earnings from performing said tasks during this period are equal
to or greater than $5.00 (Five Dollars).

The court approves the class notice, subject to the revision and
appoints the law firms of Weinhaus & Potashnick and Feinstein
Doyle Payne & Kravec, LLC, as class counsel.

The court approves claims administration expenses in an amount not
to exceed $70,000; attorneys' fees in the amount of $146,377.00;
costs in the amount of $50,457.34; and representative service
awards in the amount of $5,000.00 for Mary Greth and $6,000.00 for
Christopher Otey and denies plaintiffs' request for equitable
tolling.

CSX TRANSPORTATION: Atty Sees Growing Interest in Evacuees' Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wes Wade, writing for The Daily Times, reported that the Maryville
attorney representing evacuees in a class action lawsuit against
CSX Transportation Inc. said interest in the litigation is growing
after a CSX train car carrying a toxic chemical derailed and
caught fire July 2.

Attorney Kevin Shepherd filed the lawsuit in Blount County Circuit
Court along with Maryville residents Kelli and Aaron Johnson. The
husband and wife are the only named plaintiffs at this time, but
represent the estimated 5,000 who were forced to leave their homes
after a train car carrying a hazardous chemical called
acrylonitrile derailed and caught fire in the area of Mt. Tabor
Road and Old Mt. Tabor Road on July 2.

Evacuation suit

The litigation, which seeks unspecified damages, wasn't filed
regarding any personal injuries people may have sustained due to
possible exposure to the burning and leaking chemical. As Shepherd
explained, the lawsuit was filed to recoup fair and appropriate
costs associated with the forced evacuation and the general
"nuisance" of the incident.

While CSX is already working to reimburse more than 4,100
households who were evacuated, Shepherd said he wants to ensure
people are fairly compensated. A CSX spokesperson, who said the
company doesn't comment on pending litigation, said residents are
being reimbursed for the costs of hotel, food and other expenses
incurred as a result of the evacuation. CSX has also been handing
out $500 checks to reimburse individuals for their inconvenience.
Shepherd told The Daily Times that the purpose of the lawsuit is
to make sure people are properly compensated.

"I think obviously CSX would get credit for any contributions
they've made," Shepherd said. "If there are additional damages
claimed by anybody, whatever payment CSX has made would be an
offset or credit that would be considered." He went on to say that
he and the Johnsons are appreciative of CSX's efforts so far in
handling reimbursement, but that it's not uncanny for a company to
get out in front of the situation.

"I do appreicate the fact that CSX is doing this," Shepherd said.
"But this is very common nationwide. Whenever there are
derailments or other accidents of a similar nature, they do very
quickly move into the area and try to address some immediate
(monetary concerns)."

Interest grows

Shepherd told The Daily Times while working from his office
afternoon that since the lawsuit was filed shortly after 3 p.m.,
several residents have contacted him expressing interest in the
litigation.

"It's getting a lot of response and people wanting to get
information," Shepherd said. "So I expect it to get busier before
it slows down. There's been several people who've contacted us to
be either a named plaintiff or to make sure they're part of the
process."

Shepherd said he would be spending a lot of time meeting with
interested parties. But he's also received some criticism for the
lawsuit, he said. And it's a sentiment he feels is unwarranted.

"We're not the ones who dumped this chemical into the air or into
the ground water," Shepherd said. "We didn't want this to happen,
but it has happened, and so we need to address it and make sure
that people are taken care of."

Shepherd said his firm is getting help from the Tucson, Ariz.,
based law firm of Bellovin and Karnas, which has experience in
both class action and toxic chemical litigation. Shepherd said
Bellovin and Karnas has handled litigation against railroad
companies in the past, including several cases against CSX.
Shepherd said he expect additional lawsuits to be filed against
CSX, including for personal injury and regarding businesses who
were forced to close and lost revenue.

Shepherd said he would be willing to handle those kinds of
lawsuits as well.

Cleanup continues

In the meantime, CSX is working with federal and state officials
in cleanup efforts at the derailment site. The Environmental
Protection Agency reported that about 4,000 tons of soil was
removed from the derailment site. A CSX spokesperson said that
soil has since been replaced. CSX is continuing to move out
equipment no longer needed at the site, and air, water and soil
monitoring is continuing.

As of, officials had received requests to monitor 112 wells in the
area. Results on 83 wells have come back. Other than one well
located about 350 feet from the derailment site, no acrylonitrile
contamination has been found. The one contaminated well is still
showing elevated levels of the chemical, officials said.

DETROIT, MI: Class Suit Over Water Services Goes to Trial
---------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Gershwin A. Drain of the Eastern District of
Michigan, Southern Division denied the parties' cross-motions for
summary judgment in the case, LaSALLE TOWN HOUSES COOPERATIVE
ASSOCIATION, NICOLET TOWN HOUSES COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION,
LAFAYETTE TOWN HOUSES, INC., JOLIET TOWN HOUSES COOPERATIVE
ASSOCIATION, ST. JAMES COOPERATIVE, Plaintiffs, v. CITY OF
DETROIT, Defendant, CASE NO. 12-CV-13747 (E.D. Mich.)

The City of Detroit provides water and sewerage services to
residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and facilities.
Wastewater services are provided on a retail basis within Detroit
city limits. When providing these services, the City acts through
its Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD).

Plaintiffs LaSalle Town Houses Cooperative Association, Nicolet
Town Houses Cooperative Association, Lafayette Townhouses, Inc.,
Joliet Town Houses Cooperative Association, and St. James
Cooperative are owners of various residential cooperatives within
Detroit city limits and are consumers of DWSD.

The individual residential units of plaintiffs' cooperatives do
not have individual water meters. Instead, on average, the larger
cooperatives have four or five water meters that service an entire
building. The majority of these meters are one-and-a-half to two
inches in size. The city classifies plaintiffs' cooperatives as
commercial structures and consequently charges plaintiffs at a
commercial rate rather than a residential rate for its water and
sewage removal services.

Plaintiffs filed a class action suit under the Equal Protection
Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States
Constitution and Article 1, Section 2 of the Michigan
constitution. They allege that the City of Detroit, acting through
its DWSD, arbitrarily overcharges them for water drainage
services. Plaintiffs assert that defendant charges them the
commercial rate for drainage services as opposed to the
residential rate. Plaintiffs further assert that the residential
rates and the commercial rates are substantially different for
structures with water meters that are either one and-a-half or two
inches in size. They contend that there exists no rational basis
for charging the commercial rate to housing cooperatives with more
than five residential units.

Before the court are the parties' cross-motions for summary
judgment. Both parties contend that they are entitled to summary
judgment on plaintiffs' claim for violation of the United States
and Michigan Constitutions.

Judge Drain denied both motion for summary judgment.

DIAMOND SPORTS: Recalls Face Masks Due to Impact Injury Risk
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Diamond Sports Inc., of Santa Ana, Calif., announced a voluntary
recall of about 10,000 Diamond Sports face masks. Consumers should
stop using this product unless otherwise instructed.  It is
illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer
product.

Stitching on the face mask's harness can fail causing the mask to
loosen or come off, posing a risk of impact injury.

This recall involves Diamond Sports umpire and catcher face masks
with Diamond harnesses. The masks and harnesses are black. Diamond
is printed in white on the harness. The face masks have lot number
D-0143, D-0842, D-1041, D-1142, D-0152 or D-0451.  Lot numbers can
be found on a sticker on an inside metal bar in the face mask.
Only faces mask harnesses that do not have box stitching, a
reinforced "X" stitching inside a box, located on the harness
straps are included in this recall.

The firm has received 36 reports of the stitching failing on the
harnesses. No injuries have been reported.

Pictures of the Recalled Products available at:
http://is.gd/c8Xgo6

The recalled products were manufactured in Taiwan and sold at
Sporting goods stores nationwide from February 2014 through May
2015 for between $31 and $106 for the complete mask with harness.
The harnesses were also sold separately for between $3 and $6.

Consumers should immediately stop using recalled face masks and
contact Diamond Sports for a free replacement harness.


ENERGY CORP: Landowners Can Keep $1.4MM Awarded in Royalty Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pennsylvania landowners holding oil and gas leases with Energy
Corp. of America can keep the $1.4 million awarded for unlawful
deductions from their royalties, reports Erin Mcauley, citing a
federal court ruling.

Energy Corp. renewed motions for judgment notwithstanding verdict
after a jury ruled in early March for the landowners, who claimed
that ECA and Eastern American Energy Corp. breached lease
contracts by improperly deducting interstate transportation
charges and marketing fees from oil and gas royalties.

Two classes of landowners were certified, one for each type of fee
wrongfully deducted.  The court before trial observed that the
landowner leases were not identical but that "all generally
provide that the plaintiffs are entitled to a royalty of one-
eighth of the net proceeds received from the sale of gas."

The court granted pre-trial partial summary judgment to the class
for interstate transportation charges deducted after ECA
transferred gas titles to third-party purchasers at the five
points where gas is received into the interstate pipeline system.
The court ruled that under terms of its Gas Purchase/Sales
Contract, "ECA retains title to the gas until it passes to third
party purchasers at the five points where the gas is received into
the interstate system. Thus the gas is 'sold' at these points and
ECA cannot recover costs incurred thereafter."

But ECA was permitted to try to show at trial "that it incurred
these costs while it still held title to the gas."

The court dismissed several claims before trial, including that
ECA used wrong gas prices, took excessive or unauthorized expense
deductions and underpaid royalties.

In February the court denied ECA's motion for summary judgment,
claiming it was proper to deduct post-production marketing costs
from royalties, finding that "the nature of the transactions . . .
is ambiguous" since the gas purchase/sales contract provides that
ECA's marketing subsidiary "never holds title to the gas."

The jury was asked only to determine whether ECA breached leases
from the conduct complained of by the class. It found for the
class after the two-day trial on March 2-3, then the court awarded
$911,922.16 plus prejudgment interest.

The court rejected ECA's post-trial motion claiming insufficient
evidence.  It found again there was enough evidence on all counts,
that the class did not receive a one-eighth royalty of net
proceeds, that subsidiary post-production costs were deducted on
behalf of ECA, that ECA did not incur the transportation charges
and marketing fees before titles were transferred to third-party
purchasers, and paid smaller royalties than if the gas had been
directly sold to an end user without using ECA's marketing
subsidiary.

The court also dismissed ECA's request for a new trial, which
claimed that plaintiffs' expert Julia Bodamer should not have been
allowed to testify on where the title passed.  Approaching the
matter as a motion for reconsideration, U.S. Magistrate Judge
Robert Mitchell wrote: "This Court will not 'rethink what [it has]
already thought through rightly or wrongly."  (Brackets in
ruling.)

The case is David F. Pollock, et al. v. Energy corporation of
America, Case No. 2:10-cv-01553-RCM, in the U.S. District Court

FAST RIG: Judge Allows Drivers' Suit to Proceed to Trial
--------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Malachy E. Mannion of the Middle District of
Pennsylvania allows plaintiffs' claim to proceed to trial in the
case ALPHONSE MAZZARELLA, on behalf of himself and similarly
situated employees, Plaintiffs, v. FAST RIG SUPPORT, LLC and FIRST
AMERICANS SHIPPING AND TRUCKING, INC., Defendants, CIVIL ACTION
NO. 3:13-2844 (M.D. Pa.)

Plaintiff Alphonse Mazzarella is a truck driver employed by
defendants FAST Rig Support, LLC, and First Americans Shipping and
Trucking, Inc.  Plaintiff and his fellow drivers transport water
from sources within Pennsylvania to natural gas rigs also located
within Pennsylvania.

Plaintiffs contends that they are owed overtime for all hours
worked in excess of 40 per week as mandated by the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. Sections 201, et seq., and the
Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA), 43 P.S. Sections 333.101, et
seq.

Plaintiffs brought suit against defendants for violations of the
FLSA's overtime provision, 29 U.S.C. Section 207(a)(1), and for
violations of the PMWA's overtime provision, 43 P.S. Section
331.104(c). The FLSA claim was brought as a collective action
pursuant to 29 U.S.C. Section 216(b). The PMWA action was brought
as a class action pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 23. Plaintiff filed a
motion for conditional class certification but later withdrew the
request as the parties stipulated that all drivers employed by
defendants in Pennsylvania since May 1, 2011 were conditionally
certified as a collective pursuant to 29 U.S.C. Section 216(b).

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss but were denied by the court.
Trial is set for August 3, 2015. At the pre-trial conference on
May 20, 2015, it was decided that the parties should brief two
issues: whether the water that plaintiffs haul is considered
property subject to the Secretary of Transportation's
jurisdiction; and whether the water is so integral to interstate
commerce that even its intrastate transport directly affects
interstate commerce to determine whether or not plaintiff's claim
can proceed to trial.

Judge Mannion ruled plaintiffs' claims under FLSA and PMWA can
proceed against defendants to trial.  A copy of Judge Mannion's

FASTENAL CO: Faces Suit for Charging GMs for Stale Inventory

FORD MOTOR: Bid for Protective Order in "Burd" Case Denied
----------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Cheryl A. Eifert of the Southern District of West
Virginia, Huntington Division, denied plaintiffs' motion for
protective order in the case CHARLES T. BURD, et al., Plaintiffs,
v. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, Defendant, CASE NO. 3:13-CV-20976 (S.D.W.
Va.)

Former plaintiffs Laura Elsinger, Gabriel Kletschka, Dean
Richardson, and Christine Salamone filed voluntary notices of
dismissal on November 26, 2014, approximately twenty months after
filing the suit against defendant Ford Motor Company, and after
defendant had served written discovery on them and orally
requested dates for their depositions.

Plaintiffs filed a motion for protective order. Plaintiffs object
to any discovery of the four former plaintiffs on the ground that
they are absent class members, and defendant has not made the
requisite showing to justify taking their depositions.

Magistrate Judge Eifert denied plaintiffs' motion for protective
order.  A copy of Magistrate Judge Eifert's memorandum opinion and
order dated June 4, 2015, is available at http://is.gd/Y4Ompqfrom

FREDDIE MAC: Judge Recommends Dismissal of "Burns" Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix of the District of Colorado has
recommended the dismissal of the case, SUSAN BURNS, Plaintiff, v.
FREDDIE MAC, BANK OF AMERICA, and DOES 1 THROUGH 30, INCLUSIVE,
Defendants, CIVIL ACTION NO. 13-CV-02109-WJM-KLM (D. Colo.)

In June 2001, Susan Burns signed a promissory note in the amount
of $275,000 amortized over 30 years and a deed of trust over her
residence at 548 South Pearl Street, Denver, Colorado, 80209. The
note was later sold to defendant Bank of America.

Plaintiff alleges that in 2005 she failed to make two mortgage
payments to the Bank, but that she reached an agreement with the
Bank and resumed making monthly payments.  Plaintiff avers that in
the summer of 2007 the Bank began to foreclose on the property and
in September 2007 refused to accept her payments toward the note.

In or around 2009 plaintiff discovered that defendant Freddie Mac
had purchased the note. Plaintiff spoke to an employee of
defendant Freddie Mac and reached an agreement regarding a
modification to the note and was told that the documents would be
mailed to her for signature, but the same came to her many months
later and the letter did not reflect the agreed terms. Plaintiff
maintains that after she refused the new terms, defendant bank set
a foreclosure sale date either in retaliation or as inducement.

Plaintiff filed a suit asserting claims for breach of contract,
usury, fraud and deceit, intentional misrepresentation, and
slander against the defendants and seeks injunctive relief, actual
damages, punitive damages, costs, and fees.

The matter has been referred to Magistrate Judge Mix and after
analyzing plaintiff's claims against defendant Bank of America,
the Magistrate Judge Mix recommended that all claims except the
slander claim be dismissed. Plaintiff objected and the District
Judge overruled her objections and adopted the recommendation.

Defendant Freddie Mac filed a motion to dismiss and argues that
plaintiff's claims asserted against it should be dismissed for the
same reasons that the court dismissed the claims asserted against
defendant Bank of America.  With regard to the slander claim that
was not dismissed as to defendant Bank of America, defendant
Freddie Mac argues that plaintiff has not alleged any facts to
support a slander claim against it.

Magistrate Judge Mix recommends that the motion to dismiss be
granted and all of plaintiff's claims against defendant Freddie
Mac be dismissed.

A copy of Magistrate Judge Mix's recommendation dated June 8,
2015, is available at http://is.gd/Ga9ZRYfrom Leagle.com.

GENERAL MOTORS: Cassels Brock to Appeal Damages in Dealer Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer Brown, writing for Canadian Lawyer Magazine, reported
that Justice Thomas McEwen found Cassels Brock owed contractual
and fiduciary duties to some or all of GM dealers in the class.
One of the lawyers representing GM dealers in the class action
against law firm Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP says the case
represents "the conflicts issue in a perfect storm."

"When you look at what went on in May 2009 and the need these
dealers had to be represented, then layer on to it the conflict of
interest, it was going to be two trains coming down the same track
and that's why there was a significant damages award made," says
David Sterns, a partner with Sotos LLP in Toronto.

An Ontario Superior Court judge awarded damages against Cassels
Brock in the amount of C$45 million for breach of fiduciary duty,
breach of contract, and professional negligence.

In his 160-page decision issued July 8 in Trillium Motor World
Ltd. V. General Motors of Canada Ltd., Justice Thomas McEwen found
that Cassels Brock owed contractual and fiduciary duties to some
or all of the class members in the case and breached those duties.
As well, he found it also owed a duty of care, which was also
breached.

McEwen wrote: "I find that Cassels was retained by the Class
Members including Trillium to protect their interests in any
complex restructuring of the dealer network and to represent them
in any GMCL CCAA proceedings. I further find that Cassels breached
its contractual and fiduciary duties by accepting the retainer
having already agreed to act for the Federal Government (through
Industry Canada) in relation to any GMCL CCAA proceedings. Cassels
knew about this conflict from the outset; yet, rather than
declining to act for the GMCL dealers and referring to an
unconflicted law firm, or even telling the dealers about the
retainer with the Federal Government, continued to act for both
the Federal Government and the dealers."

McEwen also determined GM Canada did not breach the Arthur Wishart
Act (franchise disclosure), 2000. Therefore he dismissed the
action against GMCL. He also dismissed the counterclaim by GMCL
against each of the class members.

The case dates back to 2009, when about 200 General Motors dealers
were eliminated during the federal auto bailout. The class action
was seeking $750 million in damages on behalf of those dealers.
Also named in the suit was Cassels Brock, which had been retained
to represent Canadian dealers in a GM restructuring bankruptcy.

In light of the decision against the firm, in a statement July 9,
Cassels Brock general counsel John Birch said it's business as
usual and the firm is actively pursuing an appeal. He noted the
judgment "creates potentially indeterminate liability for
lawyers."

"Of course, we are disappointed," Birch said. "But we remain
confident that we conducted ourselves properly and in accordance
with our professional responsibilities."

"We feel that the findings are not justified on the evidence and
that there are significant legal errors in the decision. We
continue to believe that Trillium Motor World and the other
automotive dealers had not become our clients in the
circumstances, and they were each represented by their own
independent legal counsel."

In his decision, McEwen wrote: "Cassels takes the position that
there was only ever the potential for a conflict to arise on
account of the two retainers. In other words, Cassels accepts that
there was indeed a risk that immediate legal interests of Industry
Canada and the GMCL dealers would be directly adverse."

He referred to testimony that indicated "Cassels would have
dropped the GMCL dealers if the risk became reality ("if an
adverse interest arose with respect to that retainer, it's
conceivable that we could not act for the dealers at that time"),
there can be little doubt that there was a risk that Cassels'
representation of the GMCL dealers would have been materially
affected.

"Thus, the issue is really whether this risk was a substantial
one. In my view, the evidence supports a finding that it was,"
McEwen wrote.

Cassels Brock held the position there was no retainer because the
only retainer it would have had was for a Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act proceeding that did not happen. However, the judge
found the retainer extended to the negotiation and advice on the
dealer wind-down agreements.

"That was critical because if he found the scope of the retainer
was more narrow it is likely Cassels Brock would not have been
found to be liable," says Brian Radnoff, a partner at Lerners LLP.
"That determination was informed by inferences the trial judge
made. Another judge looking at the same evidence could have come
to a different conclusion."

The other issue was Cassels Brock's conflict over the retainer
with Industry Canada. Radnoff says in any CCAA proceeding there
would have been a conflict between the law firm's representation
of the GM dealers and its representation of Industry Canada.

"In my view Justice McEwen's finding on that is unimpeachable. The
evidence was quite clear and he makes it clear you can't take on
these retainers and take a wait-and-see approach, which frankly
has, to some extent, been the practice of some firms on Bay
Street," says Radnoff.

Most law firms typically have sophisticated conflict systems and
databases that if accurately populated will identify potential
conflicts at the outset, says Gavin MacKenzie of DLA Piper in
Toronto.

"Sometimes it can be difficult to determine whether acting for two
clients involved in the same matter really does give rise to a
conflict," he says. "I think that was a large part of the issue in
this trial. The trial judge certainly concluded that the interests
of the government of Canada and the dealers who entered into the
wind-down agreements were potentially adverse. Whether they
actually became adverse was very much an issue at trial."

Co-counsel for Trillium Motor World says McEwen made comments
about the importance of collective retainers both in the
insolvency context and in general for the purpose of access to
justice.

"The fact is people have collective counsel and some may have
individual counsel and that is not an irreconcilable position. In
fact, it's quite common in the context of a collective retainer,"
says Marie-Andr‚e Vermette, a partner with WeirFoulds LLP.

The dealers had banded together and hired Cassels Brock to protect
them.

"Each one that testified was asked who they thought their lawyer
was and each one thought it was Cassels Brock," says Sterns. "They
paid money into Cassels Brock, checked a form saying they wanted
to be represented by Cassels Brock, and were advised by Cassels
Brock. To suggest they weren't a client of Cassels Brock is to go
against the overwhelming evidence."

Vermette says Cassels Brock's position at trial was it had a
retainer for the GM dealers but it was only to be triggered if
there was a CCAA filing.

Sterns says this case will be a "resounding reminder to the
profession" the issue of conflicts "isn't some kind of red tape
bureaucracy rule. This goes to the heart of what we do as
lawyers."

He adds there was a "huge power imbalance" at play with small
independent dealers who had a lot at stake but lacked the
sophistication and knowledge of what was going on.

"They reached out to what they thought was a sophisticated
powerful Bay Street firm, paid them a substantial retainer with a
view to having someone in their corner," he says.

While the damages award appears significant, Sterns says so were
the losses suffered by the dealers.

"We're still digesting [the decision] and have some decisions to
make ourselves regarding appeals," he says.

So what does a damages award of C$45 million mean to the future of
a firm like Cassels Brock? Most large law firms that do commercial
transactions have excess insurance, typically in the range of tens
of millions of dollars.

"If they didn't have insurance to cover the damages awarded it
would likely put the firm at risk, but it is likely they have
sufficient excess insurance to cover all or most of the judgment,"
says Radnoff.

On certain motorcycles, the fuel level sensor float arm holder
could deform and allow the arm to separate from the fuel level
sensor body. If the float arm separates from the sensor body, the
fuel meter would provide inaccurate information. In some cases the
separated metal float arm could contact both the positive and
negative terminals at the base of the fuel pump, causing a short
that results in a blown (fuel injection, ignition or main) fuse.
Either symptom could result in an engine stall, which could
increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to
property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel level sensor
assembly.

INTERSTATE MAT: 1st Cir. Affirms Dismissal of Sparkle Hill Case
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge William J. Kayatta of the United States Court of Appeals,
First Circuit, affirmed the dismissal and denial of the motion by
the trial in the appealed case SPARKLE HILL, INC. and WILLIAM
WARMING, individually and as the representatives of a class of
similarly situated persons, Plaintiffs, Appellants, v. INTERSTATE
MAT CORPORATION, Defendant, Appellee, NO. 14-1618 (1st Cir.)

Interstate is a Massachusetts corporation with four employees. It
paid a marketing firm to fax to 10,000 potential customers a one-
page advertisement for Interstate's anti-fatigue floor mats. In
May 2006, the marketing firm transmitted Interstate's
advertisement to 8,416 recipients. One of those recipients was
Sparkle Hill, a New Jersey corporation. Another was West Concord
5-10-1.00 Store, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation.

On January 28, 2010, West Concord filed a class action against
Interstate in Massachusetts superior court for sending unsolicited
fax advertisements in violation of the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act (TCPA). More than one year after West Concord filed
the state class action and nearly five years after the fax
transmissions, Sparkle Hill, Inc., and its vice president and
owner William Warming filed a suit against Interstate in federal
district court alleging violation of the TCPA, 47 U.S.C. Section
227.

On May 22, 2012, West Concord filed a motion in state court to
certify a class.  About a month later, Sparkle Hill moved in
federal district court to certify a class. The federal district
court acted first, and certified Sparkle Hill's requested class on
December 18, 2012.

In federal court, Sparkle Hill filed a motion for summary judgment
on May 28, 2013. Interstate opposed Sparkle Hill's motion by
disputing both that the faxes were unsolicited advertisements and
also that it willfully and knowingly violated the Act. Interstate
also cross-moved for summary judgment, asserting that the
applicable four-year statute of limitations barred Sparkle Hill's
claim under the Act.

The district court entered summary judgment for Interstate on May
23, 2014, dismissing the case. The district court also addressed
the merits of Interstate's statute of limitations defense and
concluded that Sparkle Hill's claim under the Act was time-barred.

Sparkle Hill filed a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
60(b)(6) to vacate the district court's order and clarify the
memorandum opinion. The district court denied Sparkle Hill's
motion without explanation. Sparkle Hill timely appealed.

Circuit Judge Kayatta, who penned the First Circuit decision,
affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment to
Interstate on the claims of the named plaintiffs and also affirmed
the district court's denial of Sparkle Hill's Rule 60(b)(6)
motion.

JEFFERIES GROUP: Delaware Plaintiff Firms Win $21.5MM Fee Award
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the consolidated case entitled In re Jefferies Group, Inc.
Shareholders Litigation, CONSOLIDATED C.A. NO. 8059-CB (Del. Ch.),
Chancellor Andre G. Bouchard of the Court of Chancery of Delaware:

     -- awards $21.5 million in fees to four Delaware-based law
firms, inclusive of expenses which equate to approximately 23.5%
of the gross value of the settlement; but

     -- denied New York plaintiffs' motion for a share of the fee
award.

A stock-for-stock merger was closed on March 1, 2013 by the
Jefferies Group, Inc. and Leucadia National Corporation.  On
November 14, 2012, two days after the transaction was announced,
the first of seven actions challenging the proposed transaction
was filed in New York state court. After some initial activity in
New York, this case proceeded in Delaware.

Plaintiffs alleged that the transaction was tainted by conflicts
affecting half of the Jefferies board of directors and as a result
had to meet the exacting standards of the entire fairness standard
under Delaware law.

Defendants argued strenuously that the business judgment rule
should govern the case because, among other things, a transaction
committee of independent directors working with an independent
financial advisor had recommended the merger, four of the six
directors on the Jefferies board who ultimately approved the
transaction were free of conflict, and a majority of the company's
disinterested stockholders approved the transaction in a fully-
informed vote.

On October 31, 2014, about five weeks before trial was scheduled
to begin, the parties reached an agreement-in-principle to settle
the case. On March 10, 2015, the New York Plaintiffs filed a
motion in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking an award of 20% of
the amount of any fees to be awarded to Delaware Counsel.

Delaware Counsel consists of four law firms that were named as co-
lead counsel in this action under a consolidation order entered on
January 29, 2013:

     * Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP,
     * Grant & Eisenhofer, P.A.,
     * Saxena White, P.A., and
     * Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP.

The New York Plaintiffs, who pursued related litigation in New
York, are Howard Lasker IRA, Dr. Robert Lowinger and Michael
Jiannaras.

New York Counsel consists of three law firms:

     * Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP,
     * Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP, and
     * Stull, Stull & Brody.

The settlement, which was approved on March 26, 2015, will result
in a payment of $70 million in cash to the class. The parties
structured the settlement to guarantee that the class would
receive $70 million and that any award of attorneys' fees would
come on top, with defendants retaining the right to oppose the fee
application.

Delaware Counsel seeks an award of attorneys' fees in the amount
of $27.5 million plus expenses in the amount of $1,002,603.28.
They claim the requested fee amount equates to approximately 27.5%
of the gross value of settlement after taking into account the
requested fee, the expenses incurred by Delaware counsel and an
assumed amount of administrative expenses to be paid by
Defendants.

Defendants acknowledge that Delaware counsel is entitled to a
reasonable fee award, but argue that their request is excessive.
Defendants contend that the fee award should be calculated as a
percentage of the net fund for Jefferies' stockholders rather than
as a percentage of the gross value of the settlement. Focusing on
the midpoint of that range, defendants suggest that the court
should award $15.75 million or 22.5% of the $70 million net
settlement fund plus reasonable expenses.

KENTON COUNTY, KY: Appeals Court Affirms Dismissal of Tax Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Donna L Dixon of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky affirmed
the Kenton Circuit Court's order dismissing the proposed class
action in the appealed case EDWARD AND JOHANNA MEIMAN, Appellants,
v. KENTON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, Appellees, NO. 2013-CA-002115-MR (Ky.
Ct. App.)

Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 91A.080 authorizes local
governments to impose and collect taxes and fees on the insurance
premiums charged by insurance companies for the privilege of
engaging in business in the Commonwealth.  Pursuant to KRS
91A.080, Kenton County adopted Ordinance 225.45, imposing a
license fee for the privilege of engaging in the business of
insurance in Kenton County.

On June 19, 2008, the Meimans, on behalf of themselves and a
similarly situated class of plaintiffs, filed a complaint in the
Kenton Circuit Court, alleging that Kenton County, as
representative of a class of municipal defendants, improperly
received insurance taxes under KRS Section 91A.080 from persons
and entities who did not reside in or did not have insured risks
in the unincorporated areas of the county as designated in the
ordinance. The Meimans did not challenge the validity of Kenton
County's ordinance but rather the manner in which the tax was
being imposed and collected.

On August 26, 2008, the Meimans filed an amended class complaint
adding Franklin County as an additional named defendant. Nearly
one year later, the Meimans moved to file a second amended class
complaint. They alleged that KRS 91A.080 only authorizes the
counties to impose a tax on the insurance companies, not on the
policyholders. The Meimans claimed that the counties and the
insurance companies were violating the statute by collecting the
tax directly from the policyholders as a surcharge on their
premiums. Kenton and Franklin Counties filed motions opposing the
second amended class complaint arguing, in part, that the
insurance companies collecting the tax premiums were indispensable
parties.

The Meimans filed motions for class certification and for summary
judgment. The parties did not brief the motion for class
certification, agreeing that it should be held in abeyance pending
the trial court's disposition of the Meimans' summary judgment
motion.

On May 13, 2010, the trial court entered an order wherein instead
of ruling on the Meimans' motion, it held that the insurance
companies, which collected and retained a percentage of the
disputed taxes, were indispensable parties to the action.

On June 10, 2010, appellants filed their third amended class
complaint naming Allstate and Travelers Insurance Companies as
representatives of a defendant class of insurance companies. By
agreed order, AIC-Hartford and Standard Fire were substituted for
Travelers.

On July 16, 2010, Allstate Insurance Company removed the case to
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Kentucky. Allstate, AIC-Hartford, Standard Fire, and Franklin
County then filed motions to dismiss, arguing that because the
Meimans had not exhausted the administrative remedies provisions
of KRS 91A.0804, the federal court did not have subject matter
jurisdiction. The federal court agreed and, by opinion and order
entered on February 21, 2011, granted all motions to dismiss.

Subsequently, by order entered on August 8, 2011, the federal
court ruled that with the dismissal of the defendants who had
removed the action to federal court, it did not have jurisdiction
to adjudicate the claims between the Meimans and Kenton County.
The action was remanded to the Kenton Circuit Court. The Meimans
did not appeal the federal court's rulings.

On May 20, 2013, Kenton County filed a motion to dismiss pursuant
to Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure (CR) 12.02, arguing that no
justiciable controversy existed between the parties in the absence
of the insurance companies and, as such, the Meimans' complaint
failed to state a claim for which relief could be granted. The
trial court adopted and incorporated the federal court's ruling,
and dismissed all claims with prejudice.

The Meimans appealed arguing that the trial court erroneously
relied upon CR 21 to force joinder of the insurance companies,
Kenton County did not properly raise the issue of failure to name
indispensable parties, the insurance companies were neither
necessary nor indispensable parties to the litigation and KRS
91A.080(4) was inapplicable to their request for declaratory
relief.

Judge Dixon affirmed Kenton Circuit Court's order dismissing the
suit for failure to join indispensable parties.

KOHLS CORP: Judge Tosses Equal Rights Center's Suit
---------------------------------------------------
District Judge Ronald A. Guzman of the Northern District of
Illinois granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion in
the case The Equal Rights Center, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Kohl's
Corporation, et al., Defendants, CASE NO. 14 C 8259 (N.D. Ill.)

The Equal Rights Center (ERC) and six individual plaintiffs sue
Kohl's Corporation and Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. (Kohl's) for
violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the
New York Human Rights Law (NYHRL). Plaintiffs, who either have or
represent individuals who have mobility disabilities and have
allegedly encountered barriers at certain Kohl's stores, seek to
represent a class defined as follows:

All people with mobility disabilities who use wheelchairs or are
otherwise disabled due to mobility-related issues, who were denied
the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities,
privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any Kohl's Department
Store in the United States on the basis of disability because of
the presence of a narrow aisle, inaccessible sales or service
counter, inaccessible merchandise display, inaccessible parking
spaces, inaccessible fitting rooms, or inaccessible restrooms,
among other barriers.

Kohl's argues that ERC lacks associational standing to assert
claims for declaratory and injunctive relief under the ADA and the
NYHRL. That the ADA claim that ERC asserts necessarily requires
evidence of what ERC is trying to enjoin, which can only come from
the experience of its individual members. Kohl's further argues
that the Court must dismiss the complaint in its entirety or limit
the individual Plaintiffs' standing to the Kohl's stores discussed
in the complaint

In addition to the challenges to standing, Kohl's argues that the
class allegations should be stricken because class certification
is inappropriate in the case.

Judge Guzman granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion
to strike class allegations and dismiss the complaint for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction.

3, 2015, is available at http://is.gd/SZteHPfrom Leagle.com.

KYBER OUTERWEAR: Recalls Children's Animal-Themed Sweaters
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Kyber Outerwear USA Corp., of Ogdensburg, NY, announced a
voluntary recall of about 3,100 Children's Animal-themed Sweaters.
Consumers should stop using this product unless otherwise
instructed.  It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a
recalled consumer product.

The sweaters have a drawstring around the neck area that poses a
strangulation hazard to children. Drawstrings can become entangled
or caught on playground slides, hand rails, school bus doors or
other moving objects, posing a significant strangulation and/or
entanglement hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued
guidelines about drawstrings in children's upper outerwear. In
1997, those guidelines were incorporated into a voluntary
standard. Then, in July 2011, based on the guidelines and
voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation. CPSC's
actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from
strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in
upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.

These animal-themed, hooded children's sweaters are 100 percent
wool when produced in Nepal and 50 percent wool and 50 percent
acrylic when produced in Bangladesh. The sweaters have a tag sewn
on the left seam several inches above the hem with the company
name and the place of origin. The company name is also located on
a patch on the left sleeve at the cuff and on a patch in the
collar.

No consumer incidents have been reported.

Pictures of the Recalled Products available at:
http://is.gd/HhBZ6v

The recalled products were manufactured in Nepal and Bangladesh
and sold at Independent children's stores nationwide and online
from January 2010 through December 2013 for between $10 and $50.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweater away from
kids and remove the drawstring, or return the sweater to Kyber
Outerwear for a full credit for Kyber products.


LENDERLIVE NETWORK: Settlement in "Murphy" Wins Final Approval
--------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge R. Brooke Jackson of the District of Colorado
granted final approval of the settlement in the case DOROTHY
MURPHY and HEATHER CREAZZO, on behalf of themselves and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. LENDERLIVE NETWORK, INC.,
Defendant, CASE NO. 13-CV-03135-RBJ-MJW (D. Colo.)

Judge Jackson also granted approved fees to Outten & Golden, which
represents the plaintiff class.

Specifically, the Court granted Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorneys'
Fees and awards Class Counsel $700,000 from the FLSA portion of
the settlement fund, which is one-third of the amount allocated to
the FLSA claims, plus $37,845.87 in total costs and expenses
reasonably expended litigating and resolving the lawsuit. The fee
award is justified by the work that Class Counsel did negotiating
the settlement and conducting the litigation, by the ultimate
recovery, and by the risk that Class Counsel undertook in bringing
the claims. These amounts shall be paid from the settlement fund.

The Court also granted "service awards" for Dorothy Murphy and
Heather Creazzo in the total amount of $10,000 each in recognition
of the services they rendered on behalf of the FLSA collective.
These amounts shall be paid from the FLSA portion of the
settlement fund.

If no party appeals the Order, the "FLSA Effective Date" of the
settlement will be 30 days after the Order granting approval of
the FLSA settlement is entered. If an individual or party appeals
the Order, the "Effective Date" of the Settlement will be the date
of the Court's entry of a final order and judgment with respect to
the FLSA claims after resolving any appeals.

Judge Jackson granted preliminary approval of the settlement in
June.  The initial approval order appointed Outten & Golden as
class counsel, and approved the proposed WARN Settlement Notice.

The final fairness hearing was held July 6.

MAKERBOT: Faces Class Suit Over Shoddy 3D Printers
--------------------------------------------------
Paul Lily, writing for HotHardWare, reported that a class action
lawsuit filed against Makerbot and its parent firm Stratasys
alleges a "fraudulent scheme" to knowingly ship shoddy 3D
printers. According to the lawsuit, Makerbot and its employees
were aware that the company's 5th generation Replicator 3D printer
was full of problems, but went ahead and shipped them anyway in
order to maintain an artificially inflated stock price.

As the allegation goes, the scheme backfired, resulting in a
deluge of customer complaints, product returns, and warranty
service. Sales then plummeted, and the company's stock price
followed suit, leaving both investors and owners of the 5th
generation Replicator in a bad place.

"In pursuit of an aggressive growth strategy to keep up with
encroaching competition, Defendants rushed MakerBot's 5th
generation printers to the market despite their knowledge of
serious quality and reliability issues plaguing the printers," the
lawsuit states. "Most significantly, the Smart Extruder promoted
by Defendants was severely defective, frequently clogging with
filament and rendering the 5th generation printers inoperable,
among other problems."

In a related Change.org petition demanding a product recall, a
mechanical engineer named Marc details his experience with a 5th
generation Replicator, noting that it typically takes him four
trials to get a print to start. He also claims that he had a
specific part replaced three times during the 3D printer's six-
month warranty period.

"I have been in touch with Makerbot Support and they advise me
that typically an extruder (or a print head from a 3D printer's
perspective) lasts between 200-500 hours on average (I have a
reference for this from Makerbot Support)," Marc explains. "This
may seem like a long time, but many of the prints I do (and I'm
sure a lot of people do) take over 20 hours -- i.e., Makerbot
believes that it is acceptable to print 10 models and have the
printer fail, and purchase a new print head worth $175. I'm sure
if most customers knew this at the time of purchase they wouldn't
spend the $2,899 on the product."

Makerbot doesn't disclaim that the print head for its 5th
generation Replicator only lasts 200-500 hours. Instead, a video
promoting the product claims the technology behind it is "setting
the standard in reliability, quality, and connectivity."

Interestingly, for a limited time the company is offering $50 off
the price of an extruder replacement when users return their worn
extruder to Makerbot.

Regardless of what's going on, it's at least true that Stratasys'
stock price has taken a hit, going from a high of $130.83 in early
2014 to $33.06 currently.

MIDLAND FUNDING: Circuit Court Judgment in "Mostofi" Affirmed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Douglas R.M. Nazarian of the Court of Special Appeals of
Maryland affirmed the judgment of the circuit court in the
appealed case entitled REZA MOSTOFI, v. MIDLAND FUNDING, LLC, ET
AL., NO. 1084 SEPTEMBER TERM 2014 (Md. Spec. App.)

Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.C. brought a collection case in the
District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County against Reza
Mostofi and on behalf of its clients, Midland Funding and Midland
Credit. The complaint alleged that Mr. Mostofi owed $4,506.82 on a
credit card account with Chase Bank, N.A., and that Midland
Funding had purchased the debt from Chase. Mostofi asserts that he
is not indebted to Midland Funding as alleged and that Midland
Funding does not have standing to sue.

The district court entered judgment for Midland Funding and
Midland Credit in the amount of $4,506.82, plus costs, on July 26,
2013.

Mostofi appealed the judgment to the Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, where the case was heard de novo on October 31, 2013.
Again, Mostofi challenged Midland Funding's standing to sue him,
and he offered evidence that, he argued, demonstrated that the
debt belonged to Washington Mutual. The court entered judgment in
favor of Midland Funding in the amount of $4,506.82 plus costs.

Mostofi filed a complaint on November 27, 2013, before he filed
his motion to set aside or vacate the judgment in the collection
case. He amended the complaint twice, and the second amended
complaint named Midland Funding, Midland Credit, and Lyons as
defendants.

All defendants moved to dismiss. Midland Funding and Midland
Credit argued that Mostofi's claims were barred by res judicata
and collateral estoppel, and that, in the alternative, he had
failed to state a claim for which relief could be granted. Lyons
asserted that it had never been served in the case, and as such,
filed its motion before the second amended complaint.

Mostofi filed a notice of appeal.

Judge Nazarian affirmed the Circuit Court for Montogmery County's
judgment.  A copy of Judge Nazarian's opinion dated July 2, 2015,
is available at http://is.gd/TN0S2Hfrom Leagle.com.

NIPPONFLEX: Recalls Mattresses Due to Fire Hazard
-------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Nipponflex, of Pompano Beach, Fla., announced a voluntary recall
of about 400 Nipponflex Smart Flex and Smart Care mattresses.
Consumers should stop using this product unless otherwise
instructed.  It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a
recalled consumer product.

The mattresses fail to meet the mandatory federal flammability
standard for mattresses, posing a fire hazard.

This recall involves all models and sizes of Nipponflex Smart
Care, Smart Care split, Smart Flex and Smart Flex split
mattresses.  The mattresses are white in color and have an
electric massage function controlled by a remote. The split
mattresses consist of two single mattresses side by side to form a
queen or king size mattress. "Nipponflex" and "SMART FLEX" or
"SMART CARE" are printed on the label on a side of the mattress.

No consumer incidents have been reported.

Pictures of the Recalled Products available at:

The recalled products were manufactured in Brazil and sold at
Independent distributors via in-home sales in Florida, Georgia,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Utah and Virginia from
April 2014 through February 2015 for between $2,000 and $7,000.

Consumers should contact Nipponflex for free mattress covers to
bring the mattress into compliance with the federal standard and
protect consumers from a fire. Assistance with installation is
available upon request.


OIL PRODUCERS: Kansas Supreme Court Remands "Fawcett" Lawsuit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Justice Dan Biles of the Supreme Court of Kansas remanded the
appealed case entitled L. RUTH FAWCETT, Appellee, v. OIL
PRODUCERS, INC. OF KANSAS, Appellant, to the district court, NO.
108,666 (Kan.)

The plaintiff-appellee class consists of mineral rights owners,
who lease their rights in exchange for a royalty interest in the
oil and gas produced. The L. Ruth Fawcett Trust represents the
class based on its royalty interests located in Seward County.
Appellant Oil Producers, Inc. of Kansas (OPIK) is the lease
operator that owns the wells from which the oil and gas are
produced.

OPIK does not charge royalty owners for any services it performs
on the leased premises. But OPIK does not own gathering or
processing facilities. Instead, it sells the gas at the wellhead
to midstream gatherers and processers (the third-party
purchasers), who prepare the raw natural gas for eventual delivery
into the interstate pipeline system.

Plaintiff-appellee brought a class action for underpayment of
royalties claimed under 25 oil and gas leases entered into between
1944 and 1991.

In the district court, the parties each moved for summary
judgment. OPIK argued its royalty payments were proper because
they were computed on 100% of its actual proceeds from its sale of
the gas at the wellhead. Fawcett countered that OPIK was required
to pay royalties on the gross price of the gas as it entered the
interstate market, rather than the net contract prices set out in
the third-party purchase agreements.

The district court granted Fawcett partial summary judgment for
those expenses claimed by OPIK such as the gathering charges,
compression charges, dehydration, treatment, processing, fuel
charges, fuel lost or unaccounted for, and/or third party expenses
incurred to make the gas marketable.

The district court made no monetary damage calculation, hence OPIK
made a timely application for interlocutory review, which the
court of appeals granted. The Court of Appeals affirmed the order
granting the class partial summary judgment. OPIK petitioned the
present court for review.

Justice Biles reversed the judgment of the court of appeals and of
the district court and the matter is remanded to the district
court.

PHARMALOGICAL INC: E.D.N.Y. Judge Permits Discovery in Gov't Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Arthur D. Spatt of the Eastern District of New York
ruled on the defendant's motion in the case UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA v. WILLIAM SCULLY, also known as "Liam Scully", NO. 14-CR-
208 (ADS)(SIL) (E.D.N.Y.)

On April 9, 2014, the Government filed a 73-count criminal
indictment against the defendant William Scully, and co-defendant
Shahrad Rodi Lameh.  The Government charged the defendants, as
owners and operators of Pharmalogical, Inc. d/b/a Medical Device
King and MDK with, among other counts, violating the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. Section 301 et seq. (FDCA), by
trafficking in prescription drugs unapproved by the federal Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), misbranded drugs, and counterfeit
oncology drugs.

On October 16, 2014, on referral to United States Magistrate Judge
Steven I. Locke, Lameh entered a guilty plea to Counts 1 through
37 of the Indictment, including one count of conspiracy to
distribute misbranded drugs. He did not plead guilty to
introduction of misbranded drugs into interstate commerce, receipt
of misbranded drugs in interstate commerce and delivery thereof
for pay, fraudulent importation and transportation of goods, or
trafficking in counterfeit oncology drugs. On October 20, 2014,
the court accepted the guilty plea recommendation.

On February 5, 2015, Scully moved for an order (1) striking all
counts based on the erroneous notion that a violation of FDA
regulations can create criminal liability; (2) suppressing all
emails and other evidence obtained through search warrants due to
the Government's material misstatements and omissions in the
search warrant affidavits and the constitutionally impermissible
way that the Government executed the warrants; (3) dismissing
count 73 of the Indictment; (4) dismissing count 72 of the
Indictment; and (5) directing further discovery and a bill of
particulars, which are necessary for defense counsel to prepare
its case; and for other such other and further relief as the court
deems just and proper.

Judge Spatt denied defendant's motion except to the extent the
court grants the requests for the discovery enclosed by the
Government in its motion papers, the discovery it represents it
will provide, any recorded conversations with Courtney Fitt, and a
Bill of Particulars. The Government is directed to provide all the
foregoing material to the defendant. That part of the Defendant's
motion to dismiss Count Seventy Two of the Indictment on merger
grounds is denied as premature.

A copy of Judge Spatt's memorandum of decision and order dated
June 8, 2015 is available at http://is.gd/rTbNTUfrom Leagle.com.

settle patent infringement lawsuits. The court certified the IPC
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3).

GSK filed a motion to decertify the IPC based on a quartet of
Third Circuit cases dealing with the requirement that Rule
23(b)(3) classes be ascertainable. GSK argues that the IPC cannot
satisfy this requirement, and that the IPC should therefore be
decertified.  The IPC filed a motion to strike GSK's motion, which
the court denied. IPC's counsel indicated that it needed discovery
to properly respond to GSK's motion to decertify, which the court
granted.

Both GSK and the IPC have introduced expert witnesses to support
their arguments on the ascertainability issue. GSK relies on the
opinions and conclusions of Dr. Bruce A. Strombom, while the IPC
relies on Dr. Meredith Rosenthal and Paul DeBree. All three
experts provided reports and were deposed.

In connection with GSK's motion to decertify the IPC, GSK has
filed a Daubert motion to exclude the opinions and testimony of
one of the IPC's experts, Dr. Meredith Rosenthal. The IPC also
filed a Daubert motion to exclude the opinions and testimony of
GSK's expert, Dr. Bruce Strombom.

Judge McLaughlin granted GSK's Daubert motion because Dr.
Rosenthal's methodology is not reliable and denies the IPC's
Daubert motion because Dr. Strombom is qualified to be an expert
on the matter and that his methodology is sufficiently reliable.
Judge McLaughlin granted GSK's motion to decertify the IPC because
the IPC has not carried its burden of showing that the class is
ascertainable.

SPOKEO INC: ACA Files Amicus Brief on Merits of Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
The ACA International Board of Directors approved initiatives to
protect the long term viability of the credit and collection
industry. These efforts are funded by a three-year Industry
Advancement Fund assessment.

On July 9, 2015, ACA International filed a "friend of the court"
brief with the U.S. Supreme Court addressing the merits of the
case Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, No. 13-1334 (U.S., Filed May 2,
2014). At issue in Spokeo is whether a plaintiff has the right
(standing) to sue for violations of federal statute when the
plaintiff does not suffer any economic loss or other tangible
harm.

The important issue in Spokeo arises under a wide array of far-
reaching federal laws. Some of these federal laws, like the Fair
Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act (TCPA), greatly impact ACA members.  Without the
requirement that plaintiffs must suffer actual damages, companies
will continue to be exposed to statutory damage awards any time a
plaintiff (and more particularly a class-action plaintiff) can
establish any technical violation of law even if no one has been
harmed.

As previously reported by ACA, the plaintiff in Spokeo filed a
class-action Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) suit against an
operator of a "people search engine" because he believed that
erroneous information listed about him harmed his employment
opportunities.  The district court dismissed the case because the
plaintiff did not allege any actual or imminent harm, but the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed. The Ninth Circuit
determined that the plaintiff didn't need to allege actual damages
in order to sue for statutory penalties. In doing so, the Ninth
Circuit joined the Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and D.C. Circuits as
opposed to the Second, Third and Fourth Circuits, which have found
directly to the contrary.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Spokeo and ultimately
decides that actual damages are required for a plaintiff to bring
suit against a company for federal law violations, it would
dramatically affect the credit and collection industry. As such,
ACA submitted its amicus brief supporting the Petitioner (Spokeo,
Inc.) in order to help the Court understand that the inconsistent
and unpredictable application of federal laws by the lower courts
impose "constitutionally unwarranted liability" on the credit and
collections industry.

"The filing of this brief reflects ACA's continuing commitment to
being the credit and collection industry's strongest advocate,"
added Robert L. F”ehl, Vice President and General Counsel for ACA
International.  "ACA is uniquely qualified to assist the Court in
addressing this important issue."

The case will be heard and decided by the Court in its upcoming
term which commences in early October.

ACA's efforts to proactively support the credit and collection
industry are part of the association's Industry Advancement
Program and made possible with funding from ACA's Industry
Advancement Fund.


STORK CRAFT: Recalls Crib Mattresses Due to Fire Hazard
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Stork Craft Manufacturing USA Inc., of Las Vegas, Nev., announced
a voluntary recall of about 18,500 Foam crib mattresses. Consumers
should stop using this product unless otherwise instructed.  It is
illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer
product.

The crib mattresses fail to meet the mandatory federal mattress
flammability standard for open flames, posing a fire hazard.

This recall involves Stork Craft foam crib and crib/toddler
mattresses with model numbers 06710-100 and 06710-200 and a date
of manufacture between August 2014 and January 2015. The
mattresses have a zippered white fabric cover and measure about 28
inches wide, 52 inches long and have a 5 inch thick foam core. The
model number, date of manufacture and "Stork Craft Manufacturing
(USA) Inc." are printed on white federal label attached to the
white mattress cover. The mattresses' box has a Graco logo.

No consumer incidents have been reported.

The recalled products were manufactured in China and sold at
Walmart stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, EChannel.com,
ToysRUs.com, Walmart.com and Wayfair.com from August 2014 through
April 2015 for between $38 and $50.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled crib
mattresses and contact Stork Craft for a free, zippered mattress
barrier cover to be placed over the mattress foam core and under
the white mattress cover provided with the mattress.

TIMBERCORP: Victims Seek Justice for Poor Financial Advice
----------------------------------------------------------
Sarina Locke, writing for ABC, reported eight years after the
collapse of managed investment schemes (MIS) in timber, fruit and
other projects, attention is again focused on the financial
advisors who recruited investors.

A Royal Commission, a judicial inquiry, a reopening of the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission's investigation
are options being discussed by former investors and their
advocates.

But the Government has ruled out a Royal Commission into financial
services, despite a host of banks, individuals and companies under
investigation.

Naomi Halpern has become a voice for victims, presenting evidence
of their shame and despair to the Senate Inquiry last November
into the failed agribusiness schemes.

"The first I realised that things were going wrong was in November
2008 when the global financial crisis (GFC) hit and I started to
get emails for margin calls," she said.

"The share portfolio had collapsed, loans for agribusiness I
didn't know I was in.

"I started to get phone calls from creditors saying you're behind
in your repayments. It was a total nightmare.

"I was absolutely terrified."

The people who had a stake in the failed agribusiness schemes are
not all wealthy city lawyers, or doctors but office managers,
mechanics, animal carers, teachers, and small business owners,
like Greg White who owns the newsagent near Shepparton.

"I thought I'd save all my money and have a comfortable retirement
early, rather than spend all my money early on."

Those hopes were dashed by 2008.

Mr White claims he was a victim of bad financial advice.
His trusted Melbourne accountant convinced him to borrow against
his shares, to buy more shares, in a margin loan portfolio.
He also signed him up to managed investment schemes.

The lure was a tax deductable slice of agricultural projects, with
high returns growing olives, mangoes, avocados, timber, grapes and
wine.

"So from 1999 to 2001-2003 I took on three schemes," he said.

"I had a lovely set of blue gums in Tasmania, several hectares of
olives at Boort in Victoria, and a share in a nice winery in
Margaret River Western Australia, which all sounded very nice. He
[the advisor] said I'd be helping local producers, and it was
great to be investing in Australian agriculture."

Part of the problem was Mr White did not understand what he had
invested in; he did own the blue gum trees but not the land they
grew on. He didn't own the olive trees at all, just a share of the
harvest profits if ever the trees fruited, and the wine grape
profits never materialised.

In fact Mr White alleges his adviser hadn't told him all sorts of
things about MIS agribusiness schemes by the time they crashed in
2008.

"But what he never said to you was that if the trees don't grow
that fast or the olives don't have flowers, you could be locked
into this scheme virtually forever and in all the cases, none of
them ever lived up to what he promised them to be."

Mr White also signed up for margin loans, which are borrowings
against his equity in shares used to invest in a portfolio of more
shares.

But by the end of 2008 he lost everything. His agribusiness
schemes were broke, his blue chip shares all sold with, he said,
no warning from his financial adviser.

"There was actually nothing left. The shares by the end of 2008
would barely cover the loans," Mr White said.

But why didn't Greg White seek a second opinion about the risks
his adviser might be getting him into?

"For many years it was sheer growth; everything he had done for me
while the share market was going well, but he never gave us any
real information, you just trusted what he gave you," Mr White
said.

"It was not until the global financial crisis that you began to
question the possible risks involved.

"Because again we were never informed of any risks. There was
never any talk of downside."

Like Mr White and hundreds of others who invested in the doomed
Timbercorp agribusiness, Ms Halpern from Melbourne didn't
understand the package she bought through her adviser.

"What he recommended we do was first of all, get an investment
loan against equity in our houses, and then a margin loan that
would match the investment loan to buy shares," Ms Halpern said.

"We've just heard this story time and time again, 'what I'm doing
is safe and conservative, we'd never put your home at risk'."

"In terms of agribusiness, he put me in an agribusiness in 2001,
he'd tell me they were government endorsed, government backed
schemes, they were helping the economy grow and rural areas and
farmers."

What is galling for Ms Halpern is that she did seek an expert
second opinion but she too trusted her adviser.

"He had been working in accountancy in the tax department for many
years, he was very qualified and had credentials on the wall," she
said.

"It's a bit like going to a doctor. If a doctor recommends a
treatment, you think this is the expert and this is what has to be
done."


TRI-COUNTY METROPOLITAN: Judge Narrows Claims in "Margulies" Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Paul Papak of the District of Oregon granted in
part and denied in part defendant's motions in the case ALLEN
MARGULIES et al., Plaintiffs, v. TRI-COUNTY METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT OF OREGON, Defendant, NO. 3:13-CV-00475-PK
(D. Ore.)

Defendant Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of
Oregon (TriMet) operates and provides public transportation
services throughout Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties.
TriMet manages various bus and train routes, schedules, and
working conditions for its employees. The employment of TriMet's
various operators is guided by the Working and Wage Agreement
("WWA").

Plaintiffs filed a putative class action against defendant,
alleging that defendant engages in a pattern or practice of
failing to pay its bus and train operators for all compensable
work in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
and Oregon law.

Plaintiffs allege that TriMet fails to pay bus and train operators
for: (1) non-commute travel time between disparate start and end
points of operators' scheduled runs, (2) the differential between
scheduled run times and actual run times, (3) pre-departure time,
(4) mandatory meetings with supervisors, (5) mandatory medical
examinations, and (6) any applicable overtime due for such
compensable time.

TriMet filed a motion for partial summary judgment as to all state
law claims and a motion for partial summary judgment as to Max
Operators' FLSA overtime claims.

Magistrate Judge Papak granted in part and denied in part TriMet'
motion for partial summary judgment as to the state law claims and
granted in part and denied in part as to its motion for partial
summary judgment as to FLSA claims.

WELLS FARGO: Cal. Ct. App. Upholds Trial Court's Judgment
---------------------------------------------------------
Presiding Justice Ignazio J. Ruvolo of the Court of Appeals of
California, First District, Division Four, affirmed the trial
court's judgment in the case MAURA WHITE, Plaintiff and Appellant,
v. WELLS FARGO HOME MORTGAGE, Defendant and Respondent, NO.
A140195 (Cal. Ct. App.)

Maura White obtained a $397,000 adjustable rate mortgage loan from
World Savings Bank, FSB. The loan was secured by a deed of trust
against White's residential property in Castro Valley. In 2008,
World Savings Bank changed its name to Wachovia Mortgage, FSB,
and, in 2009, Wells Fargo merged with Wachovia and became the
beneficial owner of White's loan.

White stopped making payments on her loan in May 2009. A trustee
sale was noticed for November 8, 2010. However, White avoided
foreclosure by filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition on November
2, 2010.  The bankruptcy court eventually confirmed a bankruptcy-
exit plan. In paragraph 4 of the plan, White stated that she would
make payments on her loan in the amount $2,400 a month directly to
the lender.

Notwithstanding the unqualified representation, White made an
inconsistent proposal in paragraph 7 of her plan, which stated:
"Debtor is seeking loan modification from Wachovia/Wells Fargo on
1st deed of trust. Debtor will make estimated HAMP payment until
modification approved or denied. No arrearage claim to be paid
through plan. If debtor is granted a loan modification, arrears
will be dealt with through modification. If debtor is denied
modification, or 6 months elapses from date of filing with no
modification, property will be surrendered."

In September 2012, White filed a complaint against Wells Fargo
seeking damages and equitable relief, including a judicial
declaration that White's loan had been modified to reduce
permanently her monthly payments to $1,570.  In March 2013, White
filed a first amended complaint (FAC) instead of opposing Wells
Fargo's demurrer. White attempted to allege causes of action for
breach of contract/promissory estoppel and violations of Business
and Professions Code section 17200 et seq.

Wells Fargo filed a demurrer to the FAC and the trial court
published a tentative ruling sustaining the demurrer which White
did not contest.

On August 26, 2013, White filed her second amended complaint.  She
attempted to allege causes of action for (1) breach of contract;

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY: Judge Narrows Claims in Boyer et al. Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge William M. Conley of the Western District of
Wisconsin granted in part and denied in part defendants' motions
in the case MILTON BOYER and KATHY BOYER, Plaintiffs, v.
WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY, 3M COMPANY, METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, OWEN-ILLINOIS, CO., Defendants. RICHARD MASEPHOL,
Plaintiffs, v. WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY, 3M COMPANY, METROPOLITAN LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, and OWENS-ILLINOIS INC., Defendants. JANET
PECHER, Individually and as Special Administrator on behalf of the
Estate of Urban Pecher, Plaintiffs, v. WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY, 3M
COMPANY, METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, and OWENS-ILLINOIS
INC., Defendants. VIRGINIA PRUST, Individually and as Special
Administrator on behalf of the Estate of Valmore Prust, Plaintiff,
v. WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY, 3M COMPANY, METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, and OWENS-ILLINOIS INC., Defendants. ROGER SEEHAFER and
JANICE SEEHAFER, Plaintiffs, v. WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY and OWENS-
ILLINOIS INC., Defendants. WESLEY F. SYDOW and THERESA SYDOW,
Plaintiffs, v. WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY, 3M COMPANY, METROPOLITAN LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, and OWENS-ILLINOIS INC., Defendants, NOS. 14-
CV-286-WMC, 14-CV-186-WMC, 14-CV-147-WMC, 14-CV-143-WMC, 14-CV-
161-WMC, 14-CV-219-WMC (W.D. Wis.)

Each plaintiff brings claims against Weyerhaeuser Company based on
the release of asbestos fibers into the air in various non-
employment settings. Plaintiffs assert claims under Wisconsin
state law for negligent and intentional nuisance, all of which
appear to be premised on private and public nuisance theories.

Weyerhaeuser seeks to dismiss plaintiffs' negligent nuisance and
intentional nuisance claims pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 12(b)(6).  Weyerhauser seeks dismissal of the claims by
arguing that:

     -- the claims are preempted by the Clean Air Act (CAA), 42
U.S.C. Section 7401 et seq.,

     -- plaintiffs allege no interference with private land to
support a private nuisance claim, whether negligent or
intentional, and

     -- plaintiffs' public nuisance claims do not meet the special
injury requirement required on policy grounds.

Judge Conley granted in part and denied in part Weyerhaeuser's
motions, finding that plaintiffs may bring their respective
nuisance claims, but may not rely on the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
Section 7401 et seq., and regulations of the Environmental
Protection Agency, including the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants, in establishing the applicable standard
of care. In all other respects, defendant's motion is denied.

A copy of Judge Conley's opinion and order dated June 2, 2015, is

* Hausfeld's NY Office Welcomes 2 Antitrust Litigators
------------------------------------------------------
Scott Martin, an accomplished antitrust litigator and veteran
competition counselor to Fortune 500 companies, and Irving Scher,
former chair of the American Bar Association's Section of
Antitrust Law, adjunct professor at NYU Law School, and editor and
co-author of Antitrust Adviser, have joined Hausfeld as partner
and senior counsel, respectively, opening Hausfeld's office in New
York. They previously served in the same positions at Greenberg
Traurig, LLP and, before that, as longtime partners at Weil,
Gotshal & Manges, LLP. Martin and Scher will continue to represent
clients in New York, throughout the United States, and abroad in
complex litigation, regulatory actions and investigations, and
foreign discovery proceedings -- and continue providing corporate
counseling on a host of competition issues, including joint
ventures and trade associations, pricing matters, distribution
issues, the intellectual property/antitrust intersection, and
effective antitrust compliance.

Chairman Michael Hausfeld stated, "Scott and Irv are two of the
most widely respected antitrust lawyers in the United States, with
extensive experience counseling and litigating on behalf of the
world's largest companies. They are the perfect team to launch our
New York office and we welcome their unique talents and insights,
which will benefit our clients worldwide."

A graduate of Stanford University and Stanford Law School, Scott
Martin has 25 years of litigation experience across numerous
industries and jurisdictions, including through trials and
appeals. He has played a major role in many of the largest
antitrust class action cases of the last two decades on the
defense side and also in representing opt-outs, and he has
negotiated resolutions of regulatory investigations and actions on
behalf of corporate clients. Martin is a frequent lecturer and
panelist and has published widely on a host of antitrust topics
while also serving on the Editorial Board of Antitrust Law
Developments and on Law360's Competition Editorial Board.  He also
serves as Scher's co-editor for the forthcoming edition of
Antitrust Adviser. He is a member of the Executive Committee of
the New York State Bar Association's Antitrust Section, and he has
long been active in the leadership of the American Bar Association
Section of Antitrust Law (including as a former chair of the Trial
Practice Committee and the Business Torts and Civil RICO
Committee, and as a member of the Civil Redress Task Force, among
other positions). Martin has been recognized by The Best Lawyers
in America (Antitrust Law and Litigation -- Antitrust, 2012-2015);
Chambers USA Guide (2006-2015); International Who's Who of
Competition Lawyers and Economists (2013-2015); International
Who's Who of Business Lawyers (2013-2015); Super Lawyers (New York
Metro Super Lawyers, 2006-2014); Euromoney's Guide to the World's
Leading Competition & Antitrust Lawyers (2012); The Legal 500
United States (2009); and Who's Who in American Law.

Irving Scher is likewise an icon of antitrust, having served as
chair of the Antitrust Sections of both the American Bar
Association and the New York State Bar Association. With
competition expertise spanning the airline, retail, apparel,
automotive, electronics, publishing, grocery, pharmaceutical,
publishing, and recorded music industries, Scher has represented
numerous clients in significant antitrust, marketing, advertising,
and trade practice investigations, litigations, and counseling
matters over many decades.  In addition to his teaching
responsibilities at NYU Law School, Scher frequently lectures on
antitrust matters at bar association meetings, and was Co-Chair of
the Practising Law Institute annual antitrust programs for more
than 20 years. He is also a long-time and current member of the
Advisory Board of the weekly Antitrust & Trade Regulation Reporter
and former member of the Editorial Board of Antitrust Law
Developments. The Best Lawyers in America recently named Scher
"Lawyer of the Year," (Antitrust Law, New York City, 2015);
Euromoney Expert Guide has honored Scher with the World's Leading
Competition and Antitrust Lawyer Award (2008); and Chambers USA
Guide recently recognized him as one of five nationwide antitrust
"Senior Statesmen" (2015).  He is a graduate of Columbia Law
School and the City College of New York.

This latest expansion is part of the firm's strategic growth
worldwide, which has included, in the last nine months, the
opening of an office in Brussels, and the hiring of former
Michelin-Europe general counsel Laurent Geelhand (Managing
Partner, Brussels); former federal district court judge Walter D.
Kelley (Partner, Washington, DC); leading West Coast litigator
Bonny Sweeney (Partner, San Francisco, CA); experienced antitrust
litigator Ed Coulson (Partner, London); and acclaimed mass-tort
and environmental litigator Frederick T. Kuykendall (Of Counsel,
Washington, DC).
