1-800 FLOWERS.COM: Class of CSRs Certified in "Conklin" Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Algenon L. Marbley granted in part the Plaintiffs' motion
for conditional certification of a class under Section 216 of the
Fair Labor Standards Act and for approval of their proposed notice
and consent to sue forms in the lawsuit titled VIRGINIA CONKLIN &
ALYSON CLARK, individually and on behalf of all similarly-situated
individuals v. 1-800 FLOWERS.COM, INC., et al., Case No. 2:16-cv-
00675-ALM-EPD (S.D. Ohio).

The Court conditionally certifies this class under the Fair Labor
Standards Act:

     All call center "Customer Service Representatives," or
     similar job title, employed by 1-800-Flowers Services
     Support Center, Inc. in Hebron, Ohio, who were not paid for
     the overtime hours they worked.

Additionally, the Court orders the parties to confer on the form
of notice and submit a joint notice within 30 days.  Once notice
is approved, the Defendants must produce a class list within 14
days of approval, and notice will be distributed by regular mail
and e-mail within 14 days of the Plaintiffs' receipt of the class
list.

Putative class members are permitted to sign their consent to sue
forms electronically.  Notice may be posted at the Defendant's
Hebron call center.  The opt-in period will last 90 days.
Finally, the Court appoints Levin Papantonio and Johnson Becker as
interim class counsel.

7-ELEVEN INC: Faces Class Suit Over Tax on Unsweetened Coffee
-------------------------------------------------------------
Convenience Store News reports that 7-Eleven Inc. is the latest
retailer to face a class action lawsuit over the collection of a
beverage tax in Cook County, Ill.

Attorneys Thomas Zimmerman, Esq. -- thomas@attorneyzimmerman.com -
- Sharon Harris, Esq. -- sharon@attorneyzimmerman.com  Matthew De
Re, Esq. -- matthew@attorneyzimmerman.com -- Nickolas Hagman, Esq.
-- nikolas@attorneyzimmerman.com -- and Maebetty Kirby, Esq. --
maebetty@attorneyzimmerman.com -- all from Zimmerman Law Offices
of Chicago, filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of
plaintiff Kelly Tarrant on Aug. 9.

The lawsuits allege that 7-Eleven improperly charged Tarrant the
county's penny-per-ounce sweetened beverage tax despite the fact
that she purchased a Super Big Gulp cup filled with unsweetened
coffee, which should have been exempt from the tax. Tarrant paid
an extra 28 cents for her purchase, according to the
filing, reported the Cook County Record.

Store employees allegedly informed Tarrant that "the tax is
programmed in the 7-Eleven Store Information System and that the
system automatically charges the sweetened beverage tax to all
beverages purchased in Gulp cups, regardless of whether the
beverage is subject to the sweetened beverage tax."

The lawsuit seeks to expand to include all others who may also
have been erroneously charged the tax when purchasing an
unsweetened beverage since the tax went into effect Aug. 2, which
it estimates could come to "many thousands." It also asks the
court to award plaintiffs actual damages plus attorney fees,
according to the report.

This marks the third class action lawsuit filed against retailers,
including Walgreens and local McDonald's franchisees, over the tax
collection, according to the report.

Collection and enforcement of the tax were previously delayed for
about a month after the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and
a group of Cook County grocers filed a legal challenge, alleging
that the tax was poorly written and would expose retailers to
class action lawsuits and other litigation over its collection.

Headquartered in Irving, 7-Eleven operates, franchises and/or
licenses more than 60,000 stores in 17 countries, including 10,700
in North America. [GN]


AAA TOWING: Faces "Borrero" Lawsuit Alleging FLSA Violation
-----------------------------------------------------------
ERNEST BORRERO, JAVIER PEREZ, and other similarly-situated
individuals, Plaintiffs, v. AAA TOWING & RECOVERY, LLC, d/b/a
M.I.A. TOWING & RECOVERY, and EDWIN RODRIGUEZ, individually,
Defendants, Case No. 1:17-cv-22896-RNS (S.D. Fla., August 1,
2017), alleges that Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff minimum
wages and overtime hours at the rate of time and one-half his
regular, in violation of Fair Labor Standards Act provisions.
Defendants did not keep any time-keeping method and did not keep
track of the hours worked by Plaintiff and other similarly
situated individuals. Plaintiff was paid with checks without
paystubs providing any accounting for hours worked,
classification, says the comlpaint.

Defendant AAA TOWING is a towing company operating a 24/7 road
side assistance in Miami-Dade, and Monroe County.  Defendant
employed Plaintiffs ERNEST BORRERO, and JAVIER PEREZ as a tow
truck drivers in 2016.[BN]

ALSTON PERSONAL: Court Conditionally Certifies Class in "Hollis"
----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court, Middle District of North
Carolina, issued an Memorandum and Opinion and Order granting in
part Plaintiff's Motion to Conditionally Certify Collective Action
and Approve Notice and Expedited Consideration in the case
captioned MICHELLE HOLLIS, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. ALSTON PERSONAL CARE
SERVICES, LLC, and TINY MICHELLE VANHOY, Defendants, No.
1:16CV1447 (M.D.N.C.).

Plaintiff worked at Alston's Forsyth County location as a home
healthcare worker who provided companionship services.  Plaintiff
alleges that her "hours varied from week to week but she regularly
worked more than 40 hours a week, including some weeks in which
she worked in excess of 62 hours.

Plaintiff brings two claims on behalf of herself and all other
similarly situated individuals.  Plaintiff brings her first claim
under 29 U.S.C. Section 207, alleging that Defendants suffered and
permitted Plaintiff and the FLSA Collective to routinely work more
than 40 hours in a workweek without proper overtime compensation.
Plaintiff brings her second claim under N.C. Gen Stat. Section 95-
25.4 making the same allegations.

Plaintiff defines the class, or collective under the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA), to be certified as all current or former
home healthcare workers employed by Alston Personal Care Services,
LLC and Tina Michelle Vanhoy from January 1, 2015 to the present.

Plaintiff's claim is based upon a single alleged violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. Sectrion 201 et seq.), which
is the failure to pay overtime for more than 40 hours worked in
one week.

Plaintiff alleges that domestic-service workers employed by third-
party agencies or employers were not exempt from the FLSA and
NCWHA overtime requirements. Plaintiff alleges the common
characteristic between Plaintiff and the FLSA Collective is that
they have routinely worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek
without receiving proper overtime compensation for their overtime
hours worked.

Plaintiff does not allege that all employees of Defendants have
routinely worked more than 40 hours per workweek, nor is there any
suggestion of any issue that may have extended to all employees of
Defendants such as routine understatement of hours worked.

While Plaintiff is not bound to that response and may determine
otherwise during discovery, this court does not find it necessary
to include all of Defendants' employees in the collective notice
requested, but instead at this stage, the notice will be limited
to the 34 employees who may have submitted time cards reflecting
more than 40 hours of work in one week. Plaintiff's motion will be
denied to the extent it requests inclusion of all employees of
Defendants.

Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion to Conditionally Certify
Collective Action, Approve Notice and Expedited Consideration is
granted in part as to the 34 employees identified by Defendants as
having been employed by Defendants during 2015 and 2016 and having
worked more than 40 hours in a workweek and not been paid
overtime.

ANNIE'S INC: Faces "Alvandi" Suit Over Labeling of Fruit Snack
--------------------------------------------------------------
RAYMOND ALVANDI, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, vs. ANNIE'S, INC., Defendant, Case No. 2:17-
cv-05691 (C.D. Cal., August 1, 2017), alleges that Defendant
misrepresented the fruit content and the nutritional and health
qualities of its "Summer Strawberry" Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks.

The complaint says Defendant engaged in a deceptive marketing
campaign to convince consumers that its Strawberry Fruit Snacks
actually contained strawberries as claimed in the marketing and on
the labeling of Strawberry Fruit Snacks and was nutritious and
healthful to consume.  However, Defendant's Strawberry Fruit
Snacks do not contain any strawberries.  The Nutrition Facts do
not even list a strawberry byproduct such as strawberry juice made
from concentrate, it adds.

Annie's, Inc. produces, markets, and distributes natural and
organic food products.[BN]

class of persons who have been subject to illegal foreclosures
and/or sought modifications to their mortgage payments through
their mortgage servicers, and/or Defendants.

Plaintiffs contacted Defendants to reduce the loan payments on
their commercial loans due to a reduction in revenue, sales,
profits and other situations that affected their payment capacity.
Despite Plaintiffs complying with Defendant's requests for various
documentation, Plaintiffs found themselves hounded by Defendants a

CALIFORNIA: Court Denies Class Certification in "Butler"
--------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court, Northern District of California,
issued an Order denying Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification
in the captioned CHRISTOPHER STEVEN BUTLER, Plaintiff, v.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al., Defendants, Case No.
17-cv-02399-PJH (N.D. Cal.).

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has filed a pro se civil rights
complaint under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983. Plaintiff has been granted
leave to proceed in forma pauperis. This action is identical and
has been related to Wade v. CDCR, No. 17-cv-0042 PJH.

Federal courts must engage in a preliminary screening of cases in
which prisoners seek redress from a governmental entity or officer
or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. Section 1915A(a).
In its review the court must identify any cognizable claims, and
dismiss any claims which are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a
claim upon which relief may be granted, or seek monetary relief
from a defendant who is immune from such relief.  Pro se pleadings
must be liberally construed.

Plaintiff alleges that defendants have interfered with the of
practice his religion.

Section 3 of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons
Act (RLUIPA) provides: "No government shall impose a substantial
burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or
confined to an institution, as defined in section 1997 which
includes state prisons, state psychiatric hospitals, and local
jails.

In order to establish a free exercise violation, a prisoner must
show a defendant burdened the practice of his religion without any
justification reasonably related to legitimate penological
interests.

The Equal Protection Clause requires that an inmate who is an
adherent of a minority religion be afforded a reasonable
opportunity of pursuing his faith comparable to the opportunity
afforded fellow prisoners who adhere to conventional religious
precepts.

Plaintiff states that he is a member of the Nation of Islam. He
maintains that there are several prison television channels that
show different religious video presentations. While there is an
Islam channel and a video, it is a different denomination than the
Nation of Islam.

Plaintiff has also filed a motion to certify this case as a class
action. The motion is denied because pro se prisoner plaintiffs
are not adequate class representatives able to fairly represent
and adequately protect the interests of a class.

CAPITAL BANK: WeissLaw Sues Over First Horizon Acquisition
----------------------------------------------------------
WeissLaw LLP disclosed that a class action was commenced in the
United States District Court for the Western District of North
Carolina on behalf of shareholders of Capital Bank Financial Corp.
("Capital Bank") (NASDAQ: CBF) seeking to pursue remedies under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in
connection with the proposed acquisition of Capital Bank by First
Horizon National Corporation ("First Horizon") (NYSE: FHN).

On May 4, 2017, Capital Bank and First Horizon announced that they
had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which First
Horizon will acquire all outstanding shares of Capital Bank in a
cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $2.2 billion
("Proposed Transaction"). Under the terms of the agreement,
Capital Bank shareholders will receive 1.750 shares of First
Horizon and $7.90 in cash for each Capital Bank share held.

The complaint seeks injunctive relief on behalf of the named
plaintiff and all Capital Bank shareholders. The plaintiff is
represented by WeissLaw, which has expertise in prosecuting
investor class actions and extensive experience in actions
involving financial fraud.  The complaint further alleges that in
an attempt to secure shareholder approval for the merger, the
defendants filed a materially false and/or misleading Registration
Statement with the SEC in violation of the Exchange Act. The
omitted and/or misrepresented information is believed to be
material to Capital Bank shareholders' ability to make an informed
decision whether to approve the Proposed Transaction.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than sixty (60) days from today. If you wish to discuss this
action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights
or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Joshua M. Rubin

choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class
member.

CHICAGO, IL: Hit with New Suit Over Distracted Driving Ordinance
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Bilyk, writing for Cook County Record, reports that fast
on the heels of a $39 million settlement ending their class action
lawsuit against City Hall over tickets issued under its red light
camera program, attorneys with the firm of Myron Cherry &
Associates have again delivered a class action lawsuit against the
city of Chicago, now alleging the city also wrongly prosecuted
tens of thousands of city citations issued under the city's
distracted driving ordinance.

On Aug 1., attorneys Myron M. Cherry, Esq. -- mcherry@cherry-
law.com -- Jacie Zolna, Esq. -- jzolna@cherry-law.com -- Benjamin
Swetland, Esq. -- bswetland@cherry-law.com -- and Jessica Chavin,
Esq. -- jchavin@cherry-law.com -- filed the lawsuit in Cook County
Circuit Court against the city on behalf of named plaintiffs Aaron
Potek, Adina Klein and Stephen Michelini.

The lawsuit asserts the city has for years improperly prosecuted
people ticketed by Chicago Police for texting or otherwise using a
mobile phone while driving. The lawsuit does not directly
challenge the validity of the tickets themselves or question
whether the ordinance under which the tickets were issued is
constitutional.

Rather, the lawsuit alleges the city, rather than giving ticketed
motorists the chance to defend themselves in Cook County Circuit
Court, the city funneled those cited through the city's
administrative hearings system, depriving the accused of their
rights under the law and allowing the city to collect
significantly more money through the process.

"As a result of the City's knowing circumvention of our State's
system for adjudicating distracted driving offenses, Plaintiffs
were deprived of their right of a true day in court before a sworn
judge," the lawsuit alleged. "Meanwhile, the City was able to
route them into private courts designed to favor the City -- and
pocket 100 percent of the revenue that resulted."

The lawsuit centers on requirements written into state law that
so-called moving violations -- tickets issued to motorists for
allegedly violating Illinois and local traffic laws while
operating a motor vehicle -- be sent to state courts for hearings
and potential trial.

The reason such requirements exist, the lawsuit notes, is to allow
those cited the chance to defend themselves against the
accusations, as all moving violations are reported to the Illinois
Secretary of State. And, should a motorist accumulate too many
moving violations, the Secretary of State's office is empowered to
suspend their drivers license.

This requirement extends to violations of state law and of local
ordinances which essentially mirror state traffic rules. In this
instance, the complaint notes, Chicago's distracted driving
ordinance is little different from the state law forbidding
similar behavior.

However, the city did not send accused violators of the rules to
state court, nor did the city report violations to the Secretary
of State.

Further, because the alleged violations were tried through the
city's Department of Administrative Hearings, the city could
pressure the accused into quickly paying a $100 fine, as did the
three named plaintiffs in this case. For instance, the complaint
notes the city, in communications accompanying the ticket, would
threaten to jack up fines to as much as $500, if those ticketed
didn't pay $100 within seven days. Meanwhile, the complaint
alleged, the city would often schedule hearings on the tickets
weeks into the future, well beyond the urged seven-day $100
payment window.

And, the complaint alleged, the city employed yet more "perverse
incentives" to press the accused "into compliance," threatening to
ask the Secretary of State to suspend their drivers license until
they paid the fines and otherwise satisfied the DOAH.

"Accordingly, Plaintiffs were forced to appear before a 'court'
that had no jurisdiction over them and then submit to whatever
fines that 'court' assessed on pain of elevated fines and the loss
of their license to drive," the lawsuit said.

And the city, the complaint alleged, had good reason to prosecute
such violations this way. Should the matter have been sent to
state court, the complaint said, the city would need to split any
fines collected with the court and others, keeping only about 45
percent of the fines paid.

However, by prosecuting through the administrative hearing
process, the city would be able to keep the full fines paid.

The legal challenge comes as the latest gambit launched by the
Cherry firm against the city over traffic enforcement programs.

In July, the firm announced a $39 million settlement ending years
of litigation against the city over allegedly improperly
prosecuted tickets issued to motorists under the city's
controversy-plagued automated red light camera program.

As part of that settlement, the Cherry firm is expected to request
as much as $11 million in attorney fees. [GN]

CLEVELAND, OHIO: Class Certification in "Eighmey" Reversed
----------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals of Ohio, Eighth District, Cuyahoga County,
issued a Journal Entry and Opinion granting Defendant-Appellant's
appeal and reversing the trial court's judgment in the appeals
case captioned ALLYSON EIGHMEY, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. CITY OF
CLEVELAND, ET AL., Defendants-Appellants, No. 104779 (Ohio).

Defendant-appellant, city of Cleveland, appeals an order
certifying a class of plaintiffs who claim the city issued
unlawful traffic citations generated by unmarked traffic cameras.

The city assigns one error for our review: The trial court erred
in granting class certification as Plaintiff Eighmey is precluded
from seeking judicial review and does not meet the requisite
typicality requirement that would allow her to represent an
identified class.

In July 2005, Cleveland enacted Cleveland Codified Ordinances
(C.C.O.) 413.031, which authorized the use of automated cameras to
impose civil penalties on individuals who exceed the posted speed
limit or cross a marked stop line at a steady red light.

A mobile speed unit recorded a traffic violation committed by the
plaintiffs' class representative, Allyson Eighmey (Eighmey), at
the intersection of Detroit Avenue and West 32nd Street in
Cleveland. She later received the notice of violation in the mail
and promptly paid her ticket on October 27, 2013.

Eighmey filed a class action complaint against Cleveland, alleging
that the mobile unit that recorded her traffic violation failed to
comply with the notice requirements of C.C.O. 413.031(g) because
the unit contained "no distinguishable markings whatsoever.

The trial court granted Eighmey's motion for class certification.
In a written opinion, the court expressly found that Eighmey met
all the requirements for class certification set forth in Civ.R.
23 and certified the following class:

     All persons (a) issued tickets or notices of Liability by a
mobile speed unit under Cleveland Codified ordinances Section
413.031 et seq., (b) during the period September 25, 2013 to
December 26, 2016, (c) which were not warnings, and (d) upon which
there was not a finding of no liability pursuant to Section
413.031(k).

In the city's sole assigned error, it argues the trial court erred
in granting class certification because Eighmey, the purported
class representative, fails to meet the typicality requirement of
Civ.R. 23(A) that would allow her to represent the class.

A plaintiff's claim is typical 'if it arises from the same event
or practice or course of conduct that gives rise to the claims of
other class members, and if his or her claims are based on the
same legal theory. When it is alleged that the same unlawful
conduct was directed at or affected both the named plaintiff and
the class sought to be represented, the typicality requirement is
usually met irrespective of varying fact patterns which underlie
individual claims.

Cleveland argues that Eighmey lacks standing and cannot legally
represent the class because (1) she failed to exhaust
administrative remedies, and (2) her claims are barred by res
judicata.

The fact that a plaintiff seeks to bring a class action does not
change the standing requirements.  A class representative must
have proper standing. Individual standing is a threshold
requirement of all actions, including class actions.

Eighmey was injured by having to pay Cleveland a fine that was
wrongfully generated by an unmarked mobile vehicle. However,
C.C.O. 413.031(k) provides, in relevant part, that the failure to
give notice of appeal or pay the civil penalty within this time
period shall constitute a waiver of the right to contest the
ticket. Cleveland argues that Eighmey waived her right to contest
the ticket and is barred from recovery because she voluntarily
paid her ticket instead of appealing it. Therefore, the city
asserts, she will neither benefit from, nor be harmed by, the
litigation of other potential class members who may pursue viable
claims.

If Eighmey cannot receive redress from this litigation and lacks
standing, she may not represent the class. The class
representative must have proper standing. Cleveland's standing and
res judicata defenses are threshold questions that would
predominate the litigation if Eighmey remained the class
representative. She therefore fails to meet the typicality
requirement of Civ.R. 23, and the trial court erred in granting
class certification.

The trial court's judgment is reversed. The case is remanded to
the trial court for further proceedings to determine the merits of
Eighmey's claims and Cleveland's defenses and for the possible
substitution of a more suitable class representative.

COLORADO: Court Dismisses Former DYC Detainee's Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court, District of Colorado, issued an
Order granting Defendant's Third Motion to Dismiss the case
captioned LINDSAY A. SAUNDERS, Plaintiff, v. ANDERS JACOBSON, in
his official capacity as Interim Director of the Colorado Division
of Youth Corrections; and ERIN JACOBS, in her official capacity as
Director of Platte Valley Youth Services Center, Defendants, No.
Civ. 15-2201-CBS (D. Colo.).

Defendants move to dismiss the action as moot because Plaintiff is
no longer in DYC custody and is not expected to return to DYC.

Plaintiff Lindsay A. Saunders sued Defendants Anders Jacobson and
Erin Jacobs, in their official capacities for the Colorado
Department of Human Services, Division of Youth Corrections (DYC)
and the DYC's Platte Valley Youth Services Center (Platte Valley)
for not permitting her to access local news while she was in
Platte Valley's custody.

She seeks prospective injunctive relief in the form of requiring
Platte Valley to permit her personal subscription to the Denver
Post, subject to the facility's existing screening policies.

Plaintiff was faced with a strategy choice. If she requested that
all similarly-situated youths in Platte Valley should be permitted
personal subscriptions to local news (or a sufficient number of
such subscriptions to be shared), this would likely avoid the
mootness issue that would arise if Plaintiff was moved, the Court
held.

But it would also make proof of the third Turner factor more
difficult because Plaintiff would have to show that screening
multiple copies of local newspapers would not impact prison
resources. If Plaintiff instead restricted her claim to only her
personal subscription request, this made the third Turner factor
less difficult but left the possibility of mootness if she were
moved.

Plaintiff's pro bono counsel ably represented her in making the
strategy choice, and Plaintiff cannot reverse course at this late
phase. Accordingly, the case is now moot.

Because Plaintiff's claim is moot, the court lacks subject matter
jurisdiction. Plaintiff's claim is dismissed without prejudice.

CONCESSION A25: Threatened with Class Suit Over Toll Fees
---------------------------------------------------------
CTV Montreal reports that the operators of the privately-run
Highway 25 toll bridge are being threatened with a class action
lawsuit.

Lawyers say tens of thousands of people are being overcharged
because the sign isn't clear enough about the cost to use the
bridge.

There are signs for drivers approaching the Olivier Charbonneau
bridge, including one with a digital display where the prices,
which alter depending on time of day, are shown.

But lawyers say that sign is five kilometres from the bridge and
is not clear.

Jamie Benizri of the firm Legal Logic represents the lead
complainant in the case, a Laval resident who claims the sign is
misleading because it does not explain the higher cost to cross
during rush hours.

"The bottom line is you're basically getting an estimate on that
billboard 5 kilometres before the ramp. By the time you get to the
ramp the estimate that you got in money surged, goes up without
any warning, any indication, so it's actually false advertising,"
said Benizri.

This case has yet to be approved by a judge, a necessary step
before it moves forward.

The company that operates the bridge had no comment when contacted
by CTV.

The Olivier Charbonneau Bridge opened in 2011 and it is the first
in Quebec to use an exclusively electronic payment system: the
licence place of each vehicle is recorded a bill sent in the mail,
or drivers can use pre-installed transponders and save money.

The bridge operators were sued before by the Union des
Consommateurs about the extra fee that was charged to drivers who
did not have transponders.

That case was settled out of court for $4.8 million. [GN]


CONTEXTMEDIA HEALTH: Griffith Seeks to Certify Class Under TCPA

     Plaintiff and all persons within the United States to whose
     cellular telephone number Defendant ContextMedia Health, LLC
     sent, between July 28, 2015 and March 31, 2016, a text
     message, other than an opt-out confirmation text message, as
     part of its "Healthy Tips" campaign, after Defendant's
     records or the records of any entity with whom Defendant
     contracted to provide text messaging services, indicate that
     the telephone number to which the text messages were sent
     had previously sent a text message with the single word
     "STOP" or the single phrase "STOP CMH TIPS", regardless of
     capitalization ("Class").

Christy Griffith alleges on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated a claim for violations of the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act, stemming from the Defendant's alleged
practice of sending text messages to persons after those persons
revoked their consent for such text messages.

CORECIVIC: Attorney Seeks to Probe Detention Center Conditions
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kyle Horan, writing for New York Journal, reports that, citing
information from detention center employees and inmates, the
attorney behind a class action lawsuit has called for an
investigation of CoreCivic facilities and its treatment of
inmates.

In a letter and memorandum from attorney Gary Blackburn to Dr.
Bill Paul of the Metro Health Department, Blackburn provided a
summary of statements he's received from people who said they were
either denied drugs or received medical treatment that took up to
a month to arrive.

"The consistency of it gives it the ring of truth," said
Blackburn, whose office has been inundated with emails, letters,
and calls from those connected to the issue.

CoreCivic, formerly known as Corrections Corporation of America
(CCA), first came into the public light for a scabies outbreak in
May that spread to Metro employees in the Birch Building.

However, Blackburn said this memo had nothing to do with his 29
page class action lawsuit. He has been wanting a general
investigation done into the general conditions for jail inmates.

"If you have an obligation to respond to sick call requests in 24
hours but routinely do not do that, then you're not providing the
medical services that you've agreed to do and duties you've taken
money to perform."

Blackburn said the level of mistreatment of inmates rises to the
level of potential FBI investigation. In his letter, he included
Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall, Nashville Mayor Megan Barry,
and Councilwoman Kathleen Murphy, head of the personnel committee.

DAUBERT LAW: Certification of Class Sought in "Bleske" Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Anthony Bleske moves the Court to certify the class described in
the complaint of the lawsuit captioned ANTHONY BLESKE,
Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v.
DAUBERT LAW FIRM, LLC, and PALISADES ACQUISITION XVI, LLC, Case
No. 2:17-cv-01107-JPS (E.D. Wisc.), and further asks that the
Court both stay the motion for class certification and to grant
the Plaintiff (and the Defendants) relief from the Local Rules
setting automatic briefing schedules and requiring briefs and
supporting material to be filed with the Motion.

Dicta in the Supreme Court's decision in Campbell-Ewald Co. v.
Gomez, left open the possibility that a defendant facing a class
action complaint could moot a class representative's case by
depositing funds equal to or in excess of the maximum value of the
plaintiff's individual claim with the court and having the court
enter judgment in the plaintiff's favor prior to the filing of a
class certification motion, the Plaintiff asserts, citing
Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, 136 S. Ct. 663, 672 (2016).

To avoid the risk of a defendant mooting a putative class
representative's individual stake in the litigation, the Seventh
Circuit instructed plaintiffs to file a certification motion with
the complaint, along with a motion to stay briefing on the
certification motion.  Damasco v. Clearwire Corp., 662 F.3d 891,
896 (7th Cir. 2011), overruled on other grounds, Chapman v. First
Index, Inc., 796 F.3d 783, 787 (7th Cir. 2015) ("The pendency of
that motion [for class certification] protects a putative class
from attempts to buy off the named plaintiffs.").

The Plaintiff is obligated to move for class certification to
protect the interests of the putative class, the Plaintiff
contends.  More than one defendant has already attempted the
scheme contemplated in Campbell-Ewald.  See Severns v. Eastern
Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-1168, 2016
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23164 (E.D. Wis. Feb. 24, 2016).  Judge Randa
denied the defendant's request to deposit funds on grounds that a
class certification motion was pending.

As the Motion to certify a class is a placeholder motion as
described in Damasco, the parties and the Court should not be
burdened with unnecessary paperwork and the resulting expense when
short motion to certify and stay should suffice until an amended
motion is filed, the Plaintiff contends.

The Plaintiff also asks to be appointed as class representative,
and for the appointment of Ademi & O'Reilly, LLP, as class
counsel.

DUNKIN DONUTS: Sued Over Lack of Blueberries in Blueberry Donuts
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aly Walansky, writing for TODAY, reports that when you order a
"blueberry" doughnut, it's fair to expect that there are actual
blueberries in the recipe. Sometimes, though, that's not the case
and it's rubbing some doughnut lovers the wrong way.

A Dunkin' Donuts customer in Chicago has filed a class-action suit
against the chain, claiming some of the company's blueberry
pastries are misleading to consumers because they lack any actual
blueberries.

The lawsuit, filed in July in a Northern Illinois district court,
alleges that Dunkin' is violating the Illinois' Fraud and
Deceptive Business Practices Act since items like the Blueberry
Crumb Cake doughnut only contain imitation blueberries "that
highly resemble actual blueberries due to their round shape and
blue color." The imitation blueberries are actually "flavored
crystals" made of sugar, corn syrup, and Blue 1 dye.

It should be noted, however, that the chain's blueberry muffins do
contain real blueberries. So real blueberries are available.
Somewhere.

"Due to their blue color and round shape, the 'flavor crystals'
and 'blueberry flavored bits' are inserted strategically on the
inside and outside of the Blueberry Products to induce
unsuspecting consumers into believing that the products contain
actual blueberries," the lawsuit states, pointing out that these
menu items are also advertised next to pictures of blueberries and
labeled as such in the store, which supposedly misleads consumers.

The lead plaintiff alleges that he would have paid far less for
the baked good (which he reportedly bought for just under a
dollar) had he known they were fake blueberries and not the real
thing. He is seeking $5 million in damages, restitution, and court
fees.

This isn't the first time a doughnut chain has faced a lawsuit
over its fake fruit ingredients.

In November, Krispy Kreme faced the same type of lawsuit when a
customer issued a complaint about the lack of real blueberries or
authentic maple syrup in their doughnuts, and called out the
pastries' labeling as false advertising. That suit was later
voluntarily dismissed.

And this isn't the first time that Dunkin' Donuts has faced a
similar suit, either. They've been sued over the supposed lack of
steak in their steak sandwiches and for not using real butter on
their buttered bagels. [GN]


ECOLAB INC: Seeks Ninth Circuit Review of Ruling in "Miner" Suit

The nature of suit is stated as other labor litigation.

EMERY FEDERAL: Court Certifies RESPA Class in "Palombaro" Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Susan J. Dlott grants the Plaintiffs' second amended
motion for class certification in the lawsuit styled Frank A. and
Shelly Palombaro, Jr., et al. v. Emery Federal Credit Union, Case
No. 1:15-cv-00792-SJD-KLL (S.D. Ohio).

In their complaint, the Plaintiffs allege that between 2009 and
2014, Genuine Title, LLC, pursuant to an agreement, paid kickbacks
to Emery employees in exchange for referrals in connection with
loan settlement services.  The Plaintiffs also allege that Genuine
Title split the fees it received for such settlement services with
the Emery employees implicated in the alleged scheme, and that
these kickbacks were not in exchange for services actually
performed by these Emery employees.  The Plaintiffs argue that
these kickbacks violated the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
and that named Plaintiffs and putative class members represent
those affected by this scheme.

The class is defined as:

     All individuals in the United States who were borrowers on a
     federally related mortgage loan (as defined under the Real
     Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 2602)
     originated or brokered by Emery for which Genuine Title
     provided a settlement service, as identified in Section 1100
     on the borrower's HUD-1, between January 1, 2009, and
     December 31, 2014. Exempted from this class is any person
     who, during the period of January 1, 2009, through December
     31, 2014, was an employee, officer, member and/or agent of
     Defendant Emery Federal Credit Union, Genuine Title LLC,
     Brandon Glickstein, Inc., Competitive Advantage Media Group
     LLC, and/or Dog Days Marketing, LLC.

The Court finds that Plaintiffs have easily satisfied their burden
under Rule 23(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.  While
Rule 23(b) requires a substantially more difficult showing, the
Court is simply not persuaded that the potential for some
individualized inquiry predominates over the overarching and
consistent conduct by Emery to carry out and cover up the kickback
scheme alleged in this case, Judge Dlott concludes.

"The Court is cognizant of its prerogative to alter, amend, or
otherwise tailor this Order prior to final judgment; or to
decertify the class should the class prove unmanageable or
overwhelmed by individual issues as it progresses," Judge Dlott
states.

ENVISION HEALTHCARE: Misled Shareholders, Class Action Claims
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholder rights law firm Robbins Arroyo LLP disclosed that a
class action complaint was filed against Envision Healthcare
Corporation (NYSE: EVHC) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee, Nashville Division. The complaint is
brought on behalf of all purchasers of Envision securities between
March 2, 2015 and July 21, 2017, for alleged violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by Envision's officers and
directors. Envision, through its subsidiaries, provides various
healthcare services in the United States. EmCare Holdings, Inc.
("EmCare") has been one of the company's primary operating
subsidiaries.

healthcare-corporation

Envision Accused of Engaging in Unfair Billing Practices

According to the complaint, Envision touted EmCare's capabilities
in its public filings, stating, "We believe that EmCare is well-
positioned to continue to generate significant organic growth due
to its integrated service offerings, differentiated, data-driven
processes to recruit and retain physicians, scalable technology
and sophisticated risk management programs." Envision failed to
mention, however, that EmCare routinely arranged for patients who
sought treatment at in-network facilities to be treated by out-of-
network physicians and accordingly billed these patients at higher
rates than if the patients had been treated by in-network
physicians. On July 24, 2017, The New York Times reported that
hospitals associated with EmCare were disproportionately likely to
engage in "surprise billing" in which patients who go to in-
network hospitals are treated by out-of-network doctors and
subsequently billed at higher rates. On this news, Envision's
stock fell $2.33 per share, or 3.72%, to close at $60.28 per share
on July 24, 2017.

ENVISION HEALTHCARE: Pomerantz Files Securities Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
Pomerantz LLP disclosed that class action lawsuit has been filed
against Envision Healthcare Corporation ("Envision" or the
"Company") (NYSE:EVHC) and certain of its officers.  The class
action, filed in United States District Court, Middle District of
Tennessee, and docketed under 17-cv-01112, is on behalf of a class
consisting of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired
Envision securities, seeking to recover compensable damages caused
by defendants' violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you are a shareholder who purchased Envision securities between
March 2, 2015 and July 21, 2017, both dates inclusive, you have
until October 3, 2017 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead
Plaintiff for the class.  A copy of the Complaint can be obtained
at www.pomerantzlaw.com.  To discuss this action, contact Robert
S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or
888.4-POMLAW), toll free, Ext. 9980. Those who inquire by e-mail
are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number,
and number of shares purchased.

Envision Healthcare Corporation provides health care services. The
Hospital offers surgery, pharmacy, medical imaging, emergency
care, and other related health care services. Envision Healthcare
serves patients in the United States.   At all relevant times,
EmCare Holdings, Inc. ("EmCare") has been one of the Company's
primary operating subsidiaries.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants
made materially false and misleading statements regarding the
Company's business, operational and compliance policies.
Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements
and/or failed to disclose that:  (i) EmCare routinely arranged for
patients who sought treatment at in-network facilities to be
treated by out-of-network physicians; (ii) EmCare accordingly
billed these patients at higher rates than if the patients had
received treatment from in-network physicians; (iii) the Company's
statements attributing EmCare's Class Period growth to other
factors were therefore false and/or misleading; (iv) Envision's
EmCare revenues were likely to be unsustainable after the
foregoing conduct came to light; and (v) as a result of the

FIDELITY NATIONAL: Denial of Arbitration in "Chassen" Affirmed
--------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, issued an
Opinion affirming the District Court's denial of Defendant's
Motion to Compel Arbitration an insurance dispute in the appeals
case captioned ARTHUR CHASSEN; DEBORAH MEREDITH; JOEL OSTER;
DENNIS SCRIMER; GLEN J. DALAKIAN; JACK HOFFMAN; DEBORAH HOFFMAN;

Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, Appellant, No. 15-2814 (3rd
Cir.).

The Hoffmans purchased a New Jersey home in 2004. They allege that
Lawyers Title Insurance overcharged them by $110.  Lawyers Title
Insurance issued them an Owner's Policy and a Loan Policy. The
Policies contained an arbitration provision permitting either
party to compel arbitration should a dispute arise.

However, the Owner's Policy also included an Arbitration
Endorsement that amended the arbitration provision to require that
both parties consent to arbitration.

Following a partial grant of a motion to dismiss, the Hoffmans'
one remaining claim was for breach of contract. Lawyers Title then
moved to compel arbitration. The District Court denied this
request because it concluded that the Arbitration Endorsement
controlled, meaning both parties would have to consent to
arbitrate, and it found that the Hoffmans did not agree to do so.

Lawyers Title Insurance first asserts that the Arbitration
Endorsement was sent in error, and thus, under a theory of mutual
mistake.  The Third Circuit held that, here, there was not even a
general understanding regarding arbitration. Indeed, the parties
never discussed arbitration with one another let alone reached any
agreement contrary to the Endorsement. Accordingly, mutual mistake
does not apply.

The Closing Letter states that liability under it is subject to
all of the Conditions and Stipulations of the policy.  Lawyers
Title issued in connection with the Hoffmans' purchase of their
home.  These policies include both the Owner's and Loan Policies.
Hence the Letter incorporates the conditions of both, including
the Arbitration Endorsement.

Accordingly, because the Endorsement applies and the Hoffmans did
not agree to arbitrate, the Third Circuit affirms the District
Court's denial of the motion to compel arbitration.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON: Fund Suit Class Might Not Be Eligible
---------------------------------------------------------
Nevin E. Adams, writing for Napa Net, reports that a plaintiff
seeking class action status in a proprietary fund suit against his
former employer may have hit a snag.

The case is one brought by Marlon H. Cryer, individually and on
behalf of a class of all other persons similarly situated, and on
behalf of the Franklin Templeton 401(k) Retirement Plan. The suit,
which had claimed that the plan invested in funds offered and
managed by Franklin Templeton, when "better-performing and lower-
cost funds were available."

Now U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken has opened the door (Cryer
v. Franklin Resources, Inc., N.D. Cal., No. 4:16-cv-04265-CW,
order for opposition to motion for reconsideration 8/8/17) for
Franklin Templeton to formally seek reconsideration of her July 26
decision certifying the case as a class action, ordering the
plaintiff to respond to Franklin Templeton's primary rebuttal to
the suit: a class action release signed by Cryer -- after he left
the firm.

Judge Wilken ordered that, ". . . on or before August 14,
Plaintiff must file an opposition of no more than five pages. In
particular, Plaintiff should address whether the class action
release that he executed after his employment terminated is
unenforceable under Morris v. Ernst & Young, LLP, 834 F.3d 975,
979 (9th Cir. 2016), cert. granted, 137 S. Ct. 809 (2017), or for
any other reason." Moreover, "on or before August 16, FRI may file
a reply of no more than three pages."

Franklin Templeton had argued that Judge Wilken was wrong to rely
on the 9th Circuit's 2016 decision in Morris v. Ernst & Young LLP,
a case in which the 9th Circuit joined the 7th Circuit in holding
that class action waivers signed as a condition of employment are
barred by the National Labor Relations Act. But since Cryer signed
the agreement after he terminated his employment with Franklin,
and not as a condition of his employment as was the case in
Morris, Franklin Templeton argued that it didn't apply.

Bloomberg BNA notes the 5th and 8th Circuits have drawn different
conclusions than have the 9th and 7th Circuits on this issue, and
that the U.S. Supreme Court is slated to take up the issue on
October 2. [GN]


GLOBALSCAPE INC.: Gainey McKenna Files Class Action Lawsuit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gainey McKenna & Egleston disclosed that a class action lawsuit
has been filed against GlobalSCAPE, Inc. ("GlobalSCAPE" or the
"Company") (Nasdaq:GSB) in the United States District Court for
the Western District of Texas on behalf of a class consisting of
investors who purchased or otherwise acquired GlobalSCAPE
securities on the open market from January 26, 2017 through August
7, 2017, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover
compensable damages caused by Defendants' violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company
overstated the reported amounts of accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2016, and license revenue for the three months and
year ended December 31, 2016, by approximately $403,000 and
$396,000, respectively, resulting in the overstatement of the
Company's revenues for those periods by the same amounts; (2) the
Company's total current assets and total assets were overstated by
$292,000; (3) the Company's total stockholder equity and total
liabilities and stockholders' equity were overstated by $217,000
and $292,000, respectively; (4) the Company lacked adequate
internal controls over financial reporting; and (5) that as a
result, the Company's publicly disseminated financial statements
were materially false and misleading. When the true details
entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered
damages.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than October 10, 2017.  A lead plaintiff is a representative

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES: Advocates See Danger in Rejection of CA
---------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Bronstad, writing for The Recorder, reports that a federal
appeals court has upheld the denial of class certification in a
case disability advocates claim could make it more difficult to
bring class actions over civil rights violations.

The case is one of several in which Denver-based Civil Rights
Education and Enforcement Center has sued real estate investment
trusts over alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities
Act. The defendant, a REIT called Hospitality Properties Trust,
owns about 300 hotels under various names, including Hyatt and
Country Inn & Suites. Of those, 142 provided shuttle services but
not to those who use wheelchairs or scooters to get around,
according to the suit, brought by three individuals.

In 2016, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco refused to
certify the class action after finding that the REIT had no common
policy prohibiting ADA compliance across its hotels, which were
managed by independent contractors.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed, upholding
Tigar's ruling.

"A practice may indeed be evidence of a systematic policy," wrote
Kim McLane Wardlaw, "but it is undisputed that HPT, pursuant to
its contracts, does not participate in the management and
operation of the hotels. Absent any allegation that HPT somehow
discourages its contractors from complying with the ADA, CREEC
cannot establish a pattern of discrimination orchestrated by HPT,
as it must in order to establish a question of fact common to its
claims against HPT."

In a dissent, U.S. District Judge Brian Morris of Montana, sitting
by designation on the appellate panel, said the majority's opinion
would allow HPT "to shirk its responsibilities as the owner under
the ADA."

The case got the attention of a dozen legal aid and disability
rights groups, including three nonprofits based in the Washington,
D.C., area -- National Disability Rights Network, Association of
the Deaf and National Federation of the Blind -- and several
California groups led by the Impact Fund in Berkeley, California.
In a Nov. 3 amicus brief, Lindsay Nako, director of litigation at
the Impact Fund, argued that upholding the district judge's ruling
would allow employers to escape liability for civil rights
violations. In an interview, she said the case highlighted how
noncompliance with the law, even without a policy, often comes up
in civil rights cases where the goal is to "make sure the
violations don't continue in the future."

Tim Fox, co-executive director of CREEC, did not respond to a
request for comment. But in the plaintiffs' appeal brief, filed on
Oct. 27, he called it "the epitome of the type of case for which"
class actions were designed to address.

"Fundamentally, this civil rights case challenges HPT's widespread
'failure to act' to comply with the law, a failure that has
resulted in an injury common to a large number of people," he
wrote.

HPT lawyer David Raizman, a shareholder at Olgetree, Deakins,
Nash, Smoak & Stewart in Los Angeles, declined to comment. In a
Dec. 28 appeal brief, he maintained the separate management
companies, not his client, would be in charge of policies dealing
with ADA compliance. He also challenged standing, noting that none
of the plaintiffs actually stepped foot in the hotels. They
instead relied on phone calls that found 90 percent of HPT's
hotels providing shuttle services didn't do so for those in
wheelchairs and scooters.

But the Ninth Circuit upheld standing, citing rulings in the
Eleventh and Tenth circuits that dealt with so-called tester
standing in ADA cases.

"Actually visiting a hotel, as opposed to phoning, does not make a
plaintiff's injury any more concrete: she is deterred from using
the accommodation in either event," Wardlaw wrote. [GN]

INMAN'S AUTO: Faces "Johnson" Suit Under FLSA, Col. Wage Act
------------------------------------------------------------
DANIEL JOHNSON, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. INMAN'S AUTO RESCUE OF COLORADO, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 1:17-cv-01844-WJM (D. Colo., July 31, 2017),
arises from Defendant's willful violation of the federal Fair
Labor Standards Act, the Colorado Minimum Wage Act and the
Colorado Wage Act.

The Plaintiff filed the case on behalf of himself and others
similarly situated to challenge Defendant's alleged unlawful
policy and practice of misclassifying its roadside assistance
technicians as "independent contractors" when they are properly
classified as employees.  By misclassifying its roadside
assistance technicians as "independent contractors," Defendant
violated the FLSA by failing to pay their workers minimum wage and
overtime for all time worked in excess of forty hours per week.

Defendant Auto Rescue employs Plaintiff and others similarly
situated as roadside assistance technicians to provide services to
motorists whose vehicles have suffered a mechanical failure that
leaves the operator stranded, such as getting a flat tire, being
locked out of their car, running out of fuel, or a dead
battery.[BN]

INTERNATIONAL PAPER: 2 Cos. Wins Summary Ruling in Antitrust Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, Eastern Division, issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order
granting Defendants Georgia-Pacific and Westrock's Motion for
Summary Judgment in the case captioned KLEEN PRODUCTS LLC, et al.,
Individually and on behalf Of all those similarly situated,
Plaintiffs, v. INTERNATIONAL PAPER, et al., Defendants, Case No.
10 C 5711 (N.D. Ill.).

This case is an antitrust class action in which Plaintiffs accuse
Defendants of conspiring to fix prices in violation of Section 1
of the Sherman Act. Plaintiffs were direct purchasers of
containerboard products from Defendant paper companies. They
allege that during the Class Period Defendants engaged in a series
of agreed-upon actions to raise the price of containerboard
products.

All but two Defendants have settled. The two Defendants that
remain in the case are Georgia-Pacific and Westrock and they have
continued to press for summary judgment.

Defendants' case is simple. They say that Plaintiffs have not
carried their burden to show that there was an agreement to fix
prices among the alleged conspirators.  All of their actions,
Defendants claim, are consistent with actions taken in permissible
competition.  Moreover, Defendants argue that the range of
permissible competition allowed them large firms operating in a
concentrated industry is wide.

Plaintiffs disagree.  They contend that the evidence, when viewed
in the light most favorable to them, permits a reasonable jury to
find that Defendants were not competing but illegally colluding
with one another.  Plaintiffs offer the following evidence to
contest summary judgment.  They draw attention to the fact that
during the six and a half years of the alleged conspiracy,
Defendants a group that includes both the Defendants that have
settled and the two moving Defendants, Georgia-Pacific and
Westrock, that have not collectively announced 15 price increases.

Plaintiffs concede that they have uncovered no direct evidence of
conspiracy.  Various pieces of evidence to support their case and
stating that Plaintiffs present extensive and strong
circumstantial evidence.  Therefore, circumstantial evidence
decides this case, and that evidence comes in two forms, economic
evidence suggesting that the defendants were not in fact
competing, and noneconomic evidence suggesting that they were not
competing because they had agreed not to compete.

Economic Evidence of Conspiracy

The Court first tackles the economic evidence. Plaintiffs have
amassed four categories of that evidence that they say support an
inference that Defendants engaged in a conspiracy.

The Court found that the evidence that Plaintiffs bring does not
offer unalloyed support to their case. Plaintiffs stress that the
demand for containerboard products was inelastic, meaning that
Defendants' customers were not particularly sensitive to price. As
such, inelastic demand and homogeneous products explain why
Defendants do not compete on price, and this is so even in the
absence of an unlawful agreement not to compete.

Lockstep Price Increases

Plaintiffs' prima facie case for a price-fixing scheme is the
fifteen price increases that Defendants announced during the six
and half years of the Class Period.

First, the time that it took Defendants to follow a leader's price
announcement varied widely. In one of the announcements, three of
the six Defendants never did join the leader's price announcement.
Second, Defendants were not the only containerboard producers that
timed their price increases to coincide with their competitors. In
fact, two of the fifteen announcements were led by a non-
Defendant.

Third, not every Defendant led a price announcement. At least one
court in this district has treated leaders and followers
differently when examining an antitrust claim based on parallel
conduct.

Lastly, the Court could not detect in Defendants' fifteen price
announcements any notable break with their prior practice. While
Plaintiffs argue that Defendants were vigorously competing in the
period before the alleged conspiracy began, they have not adduced
much evidence on Defendants' pattern or practice regarding price
announcements before the Class Period.

The Court concludes that, even in the context of an industry
structure conducive to collusion, the fifteen price increases do
not raise an inference of conspiracy [that] is reasonable in light
of the competing inferences of independent action.

Supply Reductions as a Means to Support Price Collusion

The Court examines the evidence that Plaintiffs have adduced to
show that Defendants cut production over the Class Period. The
evidence is quite weak (thus explaining the parties' dispute over
the focus of the case).

First, the Court notes that Plaintiffs' various assertions about
how much Defendants should have produced, but did not due to their
conspiracy, often miss the mark.  Second, even within this
framework, Plaintiffs cannot dispute that Georgia-Pacific and
Westrock did not restrict supply by closing any paper mill within
the relevant time period (the Class Period for Georgia-Pacific and
post-bankruptcy interval for Westrock).

Third, the evidence that Plaintiffs have brought to show supply
reductions (of any form) paints quite a mixed picture. For
example, the evidence shows that Defendants added new capacity
during the Class Period -- they bought new mills as well as closed
existing ones. Lastly, even accepting all these shortfalls,
Plaintiffs have not actually shown that the moving Defendants
restricted supply. Plaintiffs' evidence of supply reduction comes
from the expert report of Douglas Zona.

The Court is of the view that Plaintiffs have not made a case
allowing for a reasonable inference that Defendants restricted
supply to facilitate their price-fixing scheme. This finding is
near fatal to their conspiracy claim.

Acts against Self-Interest as Evidence of Collusion

The evidence, however, falls short of establishing such below-
market pricing. The evidence here consists of an email dated July
29, 2008 from an employee of Westrock to his counterpart at
International Paper. The email thus does not implicate Georgia-
Pacific, the other moving Defendant in this case. As to Westrock,
the communication predates the company's discharge from bankruptcy
and so does not shed light on whether Westrock joined or rejoined
the conspiracy after that date. It is therefore of little value.

The Court finds that the economic evidence is not sufficient to
permit a reasonable jury to conclude that Defendants worked
together to fix prices.

Non-Economic Evidence of Agreement

The Court now considers the non-economic evidence of conspiracy.

Trade Association Meetings, Phone Calls, Inter-Firm Trades, and
Public Messages as Opportunities to Collude

Defendants have presented expert testimony that the information
revealed in their public statements is consistent with their
disclosure obligations, and Plaintiffs have little to rebut that
testimony. Without such rebuttal, the fact that Defendants
listened to their competitors' communications cannot raise an
inference of illicit collusion. Competitors in concentrated
markets watch each other like hawks, even when they are not
violating antitrust law. Text Messaging, 782 F.3d at 875.

Price Increases around Communications as Evidence of Opportunities
Seized

The areas where Plaintiffs do have something other than
speculation about the substance" of the talks are the public
announcements where Defendants allegedly signaled to their co-
conspirators and used analysts as conduits for their messages.
However, as discussed in the previous section, the substance of
these communications is entirely consistent with independent
actions. Two permissible events talks and price-following put
together does not transmogrify into conspiracy.

Incriminating Words Suggesting Agreement

The CEO's comments do not rise to a level where they constitute an
offer to enter an agreement to fix prices. See, High Fructose, 295
F.3d at 654. Instead, the comments reflect what firms in the
industry likely all knew and what this Court, and others, have
said: there is a trade-off between price and volume. If firms want
to raise prices, they have to produce less, sell less, and thereby
say no to customers. It should not be a mark of conspiracy to say
what is true, already known by the audience, and articulated by
countless third-party analysts, academicians, and jurists alike.

The Court has now considered the evidence, economic and non-
economic alike, that must 'tend to exclude the possibility' that
the alleged conspirators acted independently. Matsushita, 475 U.S.
at 588. Despite the abundance of evidence and the favorable light
in which it is viewed, the inference of independent action remains
as reasonable, if not more so, than that of conspiracy.

The Evidence That Was Not There

Plaintiffs attempt to excuse the lack of evidence, not just on
this point but also more generally, by arguing that Defendants are
experienced with antitrust litigation and so know to destroy
evidence. The Court cannot credit such a position, especially
given that the evidence to support it is ambiguous at best and
Plaintiffs have had extensive discovery to uncover even that which
Defendants wish to hide.

In sum, when the Court considers both the evidence that has been
presented and that which is missing, Plaintiffs' case falls even
further from the mark necessary to survive summary judgment.

Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment are granted. The Cross
Motions for Partial Summary Judgment are denied as moot, as are
the Motions for Daubert and summary judgment hearings.

IPLAY INC: Deceives Consumers Over BPA in Teethers, Spearman Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DUSTY SPEARMAN, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated v. IPLAY., INC., Case No. 2:17-cv-01563-TLN-KJN (E.D.
Cal., July 27, 2017), accuses the Defendant of misrepresenting and
failing to disclose material facts concerning its Green Sprouts
Cooling Teethers.

The Defendant represents on the front of the product packaging
that the Teethers are "BPA free," according to the complaint.
Contrary to the Defendant's representation, however, laboratory
testing has shown that the Teethers do in fact contain BPA, Ms.
Spearman alleges.  She contends that laboratory testing
commissioned by her counsel detected and extracted 702 nanograms
of BPA from the Teether.

Bisphenol A, or "BPA," is a toxic synthetic compound used in
certain mass-produced plastic consumer products, like the
Teethers, Ms. Spearman alleges.  She argues that BPA can seep out
of the Teethers, thereby, allowing the BPA to be ingested by
infants, who use these products.

iPlay., Inc., is incorporated in the State of North Carolina, with
its principal place of business in North Carolina.  The Defendant
manufactures, markets, and distributes the Teethers throughout
California and the United States.[BN]

JAGUAR ANIMAL: Monteverde & Associates Files Securities Class Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given that Monteverde & Associates PC has filed a
class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, case no. 3:17-cv-04102, on behalf
of shareholders of Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. ("Jaguar" or the
"Company") (Nasdaq CM: JAGX) who held Jaguar securities and have
been harmed by Jaguar's and its board of directors' alleged
violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the Company's
acquisition of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Proposed Merger").

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Jaguar will assume (i)
each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Napo common
stock, which will be converted into options to purchase Jaguar
common stock, (ii) each outstanding warrant to purchase Napo
common stock, which will be converted into warrants to purchase
Jaguar common stock, and (iii) each outstanding restricted stock
unit to acquire Napo common stock, which will be converted into
restricted stock units to acquire Jaguar common stock. Jaguar
shareholders before the Proposed Merger will experience dilution
in the amount of approximately 75% as a result of the Proposed
Merger.

The complaint alleges that the Proposed Merger is unfair to Jaguar
shareholders and that the joint proxy
statement/prospectus/information statement regarding the Proposed
Merger (the "Proxy") provides materially incomplete and misleading
information about the Company's and Napo's financials and the
fairness of the Proposed Merger, in violation of Sections 14(a)
and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than 60 days from today.  Any member of the putative class
may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of
their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent
class member.  If you wish to discuss this action, or have any

JOE KEY: Tex. App. Reverses Certification of DPTA Claim
-------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals of Texas, Second District, Fort Worth, issued
an Opinion reversing a portion of the trial court's class
certification in the case captioned LON SMITH & ASSOCIATES, INC.
AND A-1 SYSTEMS, INC., D/B/A LON SMITH ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION,
Appellants, v. JOE KEY AND STACCI KEY, Appellees. (Tex. App.), and
remanded the case to the trial court with instructions to
decertify the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DPTA) claim.

Appellants Lon Smith & Associates, Inc., and A-1 Systems, Inc.,
d/b/a Lon Smith Roofing and Construction, raise five issues
claiming that the trial court erred by certifying a class because
various class-certification requirements of Texas Rule of Civil
Procedure 42 were not met.

A May 2011 hailstorm damaged the roof of the Keys' residence. The
Keys notified their homeowners' insurance carrier of the damage,
and Joe signed a contract with A-1 for the installation of a new
roof with a total price of $33,769.50.  Stacci did not sign the
contract; the Keys allege that Joe signed it on her behalf.  Keys
sued LSRC, asserting that the Acceptance and Agreement provision
in the contract with A-1, which did business collectively with
Associates, violated Texas Insurance Code section 4102.051's
prohibition against a corporation acting or holding itself out as
a public insurance adjuster in the absence of a license.

The Keys pleaded a claim for declaratory relief -- to declare the
agreement with LSRC illegal, void, and unenforceable and to
declare, consequently, that they and other class members are
"entitled to a judgment restoring all monies paid to [LSRC] under
the illegal contract" pursuant to the statutory remedy provided by
section 4102.207(b).

The class-certification order appointed the Keys to represent a
class defined as "All Texas residents who from June 11, 2003
through the present signed agreements with LSRC."

The order certified three claims for class treatment: (a)
Plaintiffs' declaratory judgment claim, (b) Plaintiffs' DTPA claim
based on Section 17.50(a)(3) (Unconscionability), and (c)
Plaintiffs' DTPA claim based on Section 17.50(a)(4) (Violation of
Chapter 541 of the Texas Insurance Code).

DTPA section 17.50(a)(4) authorizes a consumer to maintain an
action for restitution damages when a person's use or employment
of an act or practice in violation of chapter 541 of the insurance
code is a producing cause of such damages.

The appellate court finds that Lon Smith Defendants' use and
employment of an agreement that was and is illegal and violative
of Chapter 4102 of the Texas Insurance Code constituted an act or
practice in violation of Chapter 541 of the Texas Insurance Code
and, thus, a violation of section 17.50(a)(4) of the DTPA.).
We overrule the portion of LSRC's first issue complaining that the
trial court misunderstood the law concerning the Keys' DTPA
section 17.50(a)(4) (Violation of Chapter 541 of the Texas
Insurance Code) claim.

Having sustained the portions of LSRC's first, second, and third
issues challenging class certification of the Keys' DTPA section
17.50(a)(3) (Unconscionability) claim, the appellate court
reverses that portion of the trial court's class certification
order and remand the cause to the trial court with instructions to
decertify the DTPA section 17.50(a)(3) (Unconscionability) claim.

Having overruled the remaining portions of LSRC's first and third
issues, having overruled LSRC's fourth and fifth issues, and
having determined that we need not address the portions of LSRC's
third issue challenging class certification under rule
42(b)(1)(A), the appellate court affirms the remainder of the
trial court's class-certification order.

KIMBERLY-CLARK: Perry Drops Flushable Wipes Class Action Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
INDA, the Association of Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, announced the
settlement of the class action lawsuit brought by the City of
Perry, Iowa, in which Perry alleged damages from flushable wipes
manufactured by a number of flushable wipes producers. In dropping
its lawsuit, Perry admitted that since the inception of its
lawsuit, filed in 2015, it had not experienced any clogs or
increased maintenance costs attributable to flushable wipes. Perry
also admitted that none of its personnel were able to identify any
flushable wipes manufactured by select companies in the city's
plumbing or wastewater systems. Notably, Perry agreed to drop its
lawsuit without receiving any compensation for any alleged
damages.

In 2016, two of the defendants in the Perry case were able to
resolve another flushable wipes class action lawsuit in Florida
(Sweeney v. Kimberly-Clark, et al.), where the consumer Plaintiffs
also agreed to drop the class action lawsuit without any
compensation for alleged damages.

"The settlement terms of the Perry litigation corroborate what
years of testing and field collection studies have shown: that
flushable wipes are not causing municipal clogs or increased
maintenance," said Dave Rousse, president of INDA. "To date,
despite sensational headlines, there is no evidence from any
wastewater agency proving that flushable wipes are causing clogs
or maintenance issues."

Recent studies point to similar findings. A recent independently
conducted collection study in New York City found that more than
98% of the items examined were not labeled or designed to be
flushed, including baby wipes, surface cleaning wipes, paper
towels, as well as additional trash items. Other collection
studies conducted in Maine and California have yielded similar
results.

INDA recognizes that wastewater agencies are facing real
challenges associated with clogs due to diverse causes, such as
aging infrastructure, kitchen grease and flushing of items not
designed to be flushed. Flushable wipes are part of the solution
to those challenges because they are designed to break down in
properly maintained sewer and septic systems. Banning these
innovative products designed to be flushed will only worsen the
problems faced by municipalities because consumers will likely
turn to non-flushable products - like baby wipes - to address
their toileting needs.

INDA and its partner organization, The Responsible Flushing
Alliance (RFA), along with the flushable wipes industry, remain
committed to educating consumers about proper disposal of non-
flushable products through improved labeling and cooperation with
wastewater operators to establish effective consumer-facing
campaigns on the consequences of flushing non-flushable products.

LABORATORY CORP: AIG, Liberty Say They Don't Have to Cover Deal
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cara Salvatore, writing for Law360, reports that AIG Specialty
Insurance Co. and Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. told a Florida
federal court that Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings is not
entitled to coverage for an $11 million class action settlement
after LabCorp went rogue in negotiations.

In an escalating back-and-forth among the companies, the two
insurers say they don't have to cover the settlement reached in
the underlying Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act class
action brought by Christopher Legg.

"LabCorp never advised AIG Specialty or Liberty Mutual about the
ongoing settlement negotiations, and it ignored AIG Specialty's
repeated requests for information regarding the class action. By
failing to abide by its obligations, LabCorp breached the policies
and is thus not entitled to coverage for the settlement
agreement," the insurers said.

LabCorp brought its own suit over coverage for the dispute in
North Carolina federal court, where it said, after a failed
mediation effort, that the insurers should cough up $11 million
for the settlement. LabCorp also wants $2.3 million in attorneys'
fees from the insurers. AIG and Liberty have also filed another
suit against LabCorp.

Legg sued LabCorp in July 2014, alleging that LabCorp printed
sensitive credit card information on its customers' receipts for
lab tests and other services. By that fall, both insurers had
issued coverage positions and agreed to defend while reserving
their rights.

An AIG claims handler emailed for more information in January
2015; AIG says LabCorp never replied, and it met for a mediation
with Legg's people in March 2015 without telling its insurers.
Another information request followed in June and another
undisclosed mediation in July, according to the suit. LabCorp
signed a settlement in October 2015.

The insurers say LabCorp gave up its right to coverage when it
violated policy clauses in "the failure to obtain (or even seek)
AIG Specialty's and Liberty Mutual's prior written consents before
entering into the settlement agreement."

"Moreover, the class action did not allege any actual damages and
only sought statutory amounts pursuant to LabCorp's allegedly
'willful' violations of FACTA. This constitutes a claim for civil
penalties and is thus excluded from coverage," they said.

AIG is represented by Steven Brodie, Aaron Weiss, Esq. --

LAMPS PLUS: 9th Cir. Affirms Class Arbitration in "Varela"
----------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, issued a
Memorandum affirming the District Court order permitting class
arbitration of claims related to a data breach of personal
identifying information of Lamps Plus, Inc.'s employees in the
case captioned FRANK VARELA, on behalf of himself and all other
similarly situated, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. LAMPS PLUS, INC.; et
al., Defendants-Appellants, No. 16-56085 (9th Cir.), and vacating
the stay of arbitration.

Lamps Plus appeals an order permitting class arbitration of claims
related to a data breach of personal identifying information of
its employees.

After Lamps Plus released his personal information in response to
a phishing scam, Frank Varela filed a class action complaint
alleging negligence, breach of contract, invasion of privacy, and
other claims. Lamps Plus moved to compel bilateral arbitration
pursuant to an arbitration agreement.  The (Agreement) it drafted
and required Varela to sign as a condition of his employment.

The district court found that the Agreement is a contract of
adhesion and ambiguous as to class arbitration. It construed the
ambiguity against the drafter, Lamps Plus, and compelled
arbitration of all claims, allowing class-wide arbitration to
proceed.

On appeal, Lamps Plus argues that the parties did not agree to
class arbitration. The Ninth Circuit disagrees.

The Ninth Circuit applies state law contract principles in order
to interpret the Agreement. First Options of Chicago, Inc. v.
Kaplan, 514 U.S. 938, 944 (1995). In California, a contract is
ambiguous when it is capable of two or more constructions, both of
which are reasonable.  Contracts may be ambiguous as a whole
despite terms and phrases that are not themselves inherently
ambiguous.

The Agreement contains a paragraph outlining Varela's
understanding of the terms in three sweeping phrases. First, it
states Varela's assent to waiver of any right he may have to file
a lawsuit or other civil action or proceeding relating to my
employment with the Company.  Second, it includes an additional
waiver by Varela of any right he may have to resolve employment
disputes through trial by judge or jury.  Third, arbitration shall
be in lieu of any and all lawsuits or other civil legal
proceedings relating to my employment.

A reasonable and perhaps the most reasonable interpretation of
this expansive language is that it authorizes class arbitration.
It requires no act of interpretive acrobatics to include class
proceedings as part of a lawsuit or other civil legal proceeding.
Class actions are certainly one of the means to resolve employment
disputes in court. That arbitration will be in lieu of a set of
actions that includes class actions can be reasonably read to
allow for class arbitration.

The Ninth Circuit affirms and vacates the stay of arbitration.

LAMPS PLUS: Compelled to Arbitrate Class Action by Warehouseman
---------------------------------------------------------------
Metropolitan News-Enterprise reports that Lamps Plus, in including
an arbitration provision in an employment contract with a
warehouseman, might only have intended to force arbitration of any
disputes with that worker, but it is now faced with unwanted
arbitration of a class action against it, under a ruling on August
3 by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In a memorandum decision, the majority -- comprised of Judges
Stephen Reinhardt and Kim Wardlaw -- said that by binding employee
Frank Varela to an agreement to arbitrate rather than litigating
in the courts, it is now compelled to arbitrate the class action
he has brought.

Varela has sued for negligence, breach of implied contract,
violation of the California Consumer Records Act, violation of the
California Unfair Competition Law, invasion of privacy, and
negligent violation of the Credit Reporting Act. The causes of
action stem from Lamp Plus giving out its 1,300 employees' 2015 W-
2 income and tax withholding statements, in response to a Feb. 11,
2016 phishing scam.

The complaint alleges that the company's approach to securing the
privacy of employee records was "lackadaisical, cavalier and
reckless."

U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee rejected Varela's contention that
the arbitration clause was unconscionable, but agreed with him
that if it is enforceable, it applies not only to his individual
claims, but also those of the class.

                      Supreme Court Opinion

She noted that the United States Supreme Court said in the 2010
case of Stolt-Nielsen SA. v. AnimalFeeds International Corp. that
a party may not be compelled under the Federal Arbitration Act "to
submit to class arbitration unless there is a contractual basis
for concluding that the party agreed to do so." Gee wrote:
"The lack of an explicit mention of class arbitration here does
not constitute the 'silence' contemplated in Stolt-Nielsen, as die
parties did not affirmatively agree to a waiver of class claims in
arbitration. Indeed, such a waiver in the employment context would
likely not be enforceable."

The Ninth Circuit's majority affirmed, saying:

"That the Agreement does not expressly refer to class arbitration
is not the 'silence' contemplated in Stolt-Nielsen."

Provisions of Contract

It went on to observe:

"At its outset, the Agreement contains a paragraph outlining
Varela's understanding of the terms in three sweeping phrases.
First, it states Varela's assent to waiver of 'any right I may
have to file a lawsuit or other civil action or proceeding
relating to my employment with the Company.' Second, it includes
an additional waiver by Varela of 'any right I may have to resolve
employment disputes through trial by judge or jury.' Third,
'arbitration shall be in lieu of any and all lawsuits or other
civil legal proceedings relating to my employment.' A reasonable-
and perhaps the most reasonable-interpretation of this expansive
language is that it authorizes class arbitration. It requires no
act of interpretive acrobatics to include class proceedings as
part of a "lawsuit or other civil legal proceeding[].' Class
actions are certainly one of the means to resolve employment
disputes in court. That arbitration will be 'in lieu of' a set of
actions that includes class actions can be reasonably read to
allow for class arbitration."

The opinion said that Gee was correct in finding the agreement to
be ambiguous and, applying California law, resolving the ambiguity
against the party that drafted it.

Judge Ferdinand Fernandez dissented, maintaining that the
agreement "was not ambiguous," and commenting:
"We should not allow Varela to enlist us in this palpable evasion
of Stolt-Nielsen . . . "

The case is Varela v. Lamps Plus. Inc., No. 16-56085, [GN]


LIONBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES: Settles Shareholder Class Action
---------------------------------------------------------
Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., disclosed the settlement of a class
action complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
(the "Action").

On January 13, 2017, a stockholder of Lionbridge filed a class
action complaint against Lionbridge's CEO and board members
alleging claims for breaches of fiduciary duty.  The claims in the
Action derived from the execution of the merger agreement dated
December 12, 2016, between Lionbridge and H.I.G. Capital, LLC, LBT
Acquisition, Inc., and LBT Merger Sub, Inc. (collectively, "HIG")
and the filing of what was alleged to be an incomplete and
materially deficient Preliminary Proxy Statement with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 5,
2017. The class action, among other things, sought additional
disclosure of facts relating to the merger in connection with the
stockholder vote thereupon and/or injunctive relief. Defendants
denied that anything was incomplete or materially deficient and
denied all liability to plaintiff.

Lionbridge filed supplemental disclosures to address a subset of
plaintiff's claims on January 17, 2017 with the SEC.  These
supplemental disclosures included information confirming that no
agreement regarding the future employment of Lionbridge management
had taken place prior to the Merger Agreement as well as details
regarding the previously disclosed "Rollover Agreements" with
certain stockholders.

On April 7, 2017, the Court of Chancery entered an order
dismissing the action with prejudice as to the plaintiff, and
without prejudice as to all other members of the putative class.
Pursuant to the order, the Court of Chancery retained jurisdiction
to determine plaintiff's application for an award of attorneys'
fees and reimbursement of expenses.

After negotiations, to avoid further litigation expenses, and
denying any and all liability, Lionbridge has agreed to pay
$100,000 for plaintiff's attorneys' fees and expenses pertaining
to the Action.  This fee will be paid by Lionbridge. The Court of
Chancery has not been asked to review, and will pass no judgment
on, the payment of the fee or its reasonableness.

d/b/a ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL, Defendant, Case No. 8:17-cv-01825-

a basis for taking adverse employment action,  such as termination
of employment, reduction in working hours, demotion, failure to

MANAGEMENT & TRAINING: Designation of Transport Officers "Denied"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court, District of New Mexico, issued a
Memorandum Opinion and Order denying Plaintiffs' Opposed Motion to
Designate Detention Officers Assigned to Transport Duty as a
Subgroup in the case captioned MARISELA AGUILAR, et al.,
Plaintiffs, v. MANAGEMENT & TRAINING CORPORATION, d/b/a MTC,
Defendant, Civil No. 16-00050 WJ/GJF (D.N.M.).

This is a collective/class action lawsuit filed by a group of over
20 current or former employees of Defendant (MTC) who claim they
were not paid for some of their hours worked on assignment for MTC
at the Otero County Prison Facility near Chaparral, New Mexico.
The lawsuit asserts claims for unpaid wages and overtime, as well
as other statutory damages and the recovery of attorneys' fees,
under the Fair Labor Standards Act 29 U.S.C.

Plaintiffs seek to designate Detention Officers who are named
Plaintiffs or who have opted-in and were assigned to the Transport
Duty post as a subgroup asserting a sub-claim in this lawsuit.

Plaintiffs' motion is denied, for several reasons. First, the
Court recently denied Plaintiffs' motion to amend the complaint to
specifically include missed meal break claims. The Court concluded
that the motion was both untimely, and that amendment would be
futile, thus precluding any claim for missed meal breaks. There is
no sense in allowing a subgroup for plaintiffs asserting a claim
that does not exist.

Second, even if such a claim had been initially asserted, the
Court fails to see how designating a subgroup would allow the
Court to manage the case more efficiently. Plaintiffs' counsel
cites to cases involving circumstances that are more obviously
conducive to the creation of sub-groups--for example, where
separate work facilities are involved.

Third, creation of a new subgroup would involve further discovery.
This case has been conditionally certified. Further discovery
would be required to ascertain whether the members of this new
subgroup are similarly situated, utilizing a stricter standard at
this point in the litigation.

MATAGRANO INC: $1.35 Million Class Settlement Gets Court Nod
------------------------------------------------------------
Gordon Gibb, writing for Lawyers and Settlements, reports that San
Francisco employee labor law class action is one step closer to
resolution after a San Francisco judge signaled he would grant
final approval of a settlement worth $1.35 million. The lawsuit,
which has been ongoing for about 18 months, pits a beer
distributor from the Bay Area against a class of hourly employees
who claimed violations against state labor laws.

The defendant in the lawsuit is Matagrano Inc. Plaintiffs,
according to court records, are delivery drivers, ballpark vendors
and warehouse workers that are paid hourly. In February of last
year they filed suit claiming they were stiffed on overtime and
state-mandated breaks as guaranteed under California employee
labor law. Allegations included a lack of meal and rest breaks,
timely wage payments, improper recordkeeping and unfair
competition.

Specifically, plaintiffs claimed that workers who toiled offsite
were always on duty and were not in a position to take breaks,
even though pay packets were reduced by 30 minutes each day for
meal breaks the employees were in no position to actually take, or
so it was alleged.

Other alleged violations included the lack of compensation for
commuting time between job site(s) and their homes, in spite of
driving company vehicles. Plaintiffs characterized the lack of pay
for commuting time as off the clock work. The plaintiffs in the
California employee labor law dispute cited damages for any class
member employed as an hourly worker by Matagrano Inc. from
February 2012 through April of this year.

All told, the plaintiffs alleged damages of about $7.4 million.

However, the settlement at $1.35 million does not approach that
figure. The judge in the case, California Superior Court Judge
Curtis Karnow, expressed some reservations about incentive awards
for the two lead plaintiffs in the California lawsuit.
Specifically, $12,000 was earmarked for plaintiff Martin Gonzalez
with $5,000 worth of incentive money for Juan Perez. Judge Karnow
noted that in his view the incentive awards were high when
compared with the expected proceeds from the settlement for the
remainder of the class.

"Incentive awards are a fairly recent invention in the law. People
usually don't get involved in a class action because they're in it
for the money," the judge said. "I'm acutely aware of the fact
that every cent that goes to class representatives is taken away
from the class."

In spite of the judge's misgivings about cy pres, as well as legal
fees the judge felt was a tad high, he nonetheless signaled he
would approve the settlement at $1.35 million.

The California employee labor lawsuit is Martin Gonzalez v.
Matagrano Inc. et al., Case No. CGC-16-550494, in the California
Superior Court for the City and County of San Francisco. [GN]


MAXIMUS INC: Oct. 10 Lead Plaintiff Motion Deadline Set
-------------------------------------------------------
The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional
Corporation, disclosed that a class action lawsuit has been
commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia on behalf of purchasers of MAXIMUS, Inc.
securities during the period between October 30, 2014 through
February 3, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period").  Investors who
wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until
October 6, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you
must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the
Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and
participate in important decisions including whether to accept a
settlement for the class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will
be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from
investment in MAXIMUS securities during the Class Period.  Members
of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel
chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in
the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants'
failure to disclose during the Class Period that in obtaining the
Health Assessment Advisory Service ("HAAS") contract, MAXIMUS set
an unattainable target number of healthcare professionals to
recruit and an unattainable target number of assessments and
MAXIMUS was struggling to recruit, train and ramp-up new health
care staff to perform the assessments.

According to the complaint, following an August 5, 2015
announcement that the Company had start-up challenges, a November
12, 2015 announcement that the HAAS contract delivered an
operating loss, and a February 4, 2016 announcement that the
Company was unable to meet HAAS contract assessment targets, the
value of MAXIMUS shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment
in MAXIMUS securities purchased on or after October 30, 2014 and
held through the revelation of negative information during and/or
at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about
this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff,
without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at
http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html. You may
also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by
email at -- hoffman@browerpiven.com -- or by telephone at (410)
415-6616.

Attorneys at Brower Piven have extensive experience in litigating
securities and other class action cases and have been advocating
for the rights of shareholders since the 1980s.  If you choose to
retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial
obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your
choice.  You need take no action at this time to be a member of
the class. [GN]


MDL 2361: Coca Cola Appeals Class Certification Order
-----------------------------------------------------
Defendants The Coca-Cola Company, Simply Orange Juice Company and
The Minute Maid Company filed an appeal from a District Court
order certifying seven state-specific "issues" classes pursuant to
Rule 23(c)(4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in the
multidistrict litigation entitled In re: Simply Orange Orange
Juice Marketing and Sales Practices litigation, MDL No. 4:12-md-
02361-FJG, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Missouri - Kansas City.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter on August 4,
2017, the District Court granted in part the Plaintiff's motion
for class certification.

The Plaintiffs in the litigation assert that Coca-Cola sells
millions of containers of Simply Orange, Minute Maid Pure
Squeezed, and Minute Maid Pure Premium (the orange juice products)
to consumers each year throughout the seven states at issue in
this matter.  The Plaintiffs allege that Coca-Cola has failed to
disclose its use of added flavors in these products.

The appellate case is captioned as PHILIP J. WIECZOREK, et al., on
behalf of himself and others similarly situated, Plaintiffs-
Respondents v. THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, et al., Defendants-
Petitioners, Case No. Case No. 17-8025, in the United States Court
of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

The Defendants-Petitioners want the Eighth Circuit to determine
whether the District Court manifestly erred in:

   1. (a) finding that the Eighth Circuit's precedents holding
      that each class member must have suffered an Article III
      injury were silently overruled by Spokeo, and (b) endorsing
      a "risk-of-harm" theory of classwide injury that the Eighth
      Circuit rejected in Wallace?

   2. certifying Rule 23(c)(4) issues classes in contravention of
      the Eighth Circuit's holding in Grovatt?

   3. concluding that the classes were ascertainable even though
      no objective criteria exist for identifying class members
      or verifying their membership in the classes?[BN]

MLG PARTNERS: Texas American Syndicate Asks Court to Wind up Trust
------------------------------------------------------------------
TEXAS AMERICAN SYNDICATE; HOUSTON E. HOLMES, JR., as Trustee of
the Texas American Syndicate; AND RICHARD R. LINDSLY, as Trustee
of the Texas American Syndicate, Plaintiffs, v. MLG PARTNERS LTD.,
MIKE MAHONEY, AND KELLY MAHONEY, individually, and as
representatives or members of a class of all others similarly
situated, Defendants, Case No. DC-17-08475 (Tex. Dist., Dallas
County, July 17, 2017), concerns the winding up and termination of
the Texas American Syndicate.

The Texas American Syndicate (TAS) is a Massachusetts business
trust with over 2,000 beneficial interest holders located across
the United States and abroad.  MLG Partners, LTD was at all
relevant times a Dollar Interest Holder in the TAS.

The Trustees believe that it is in the Dollar Interest Holders'
best interest to wind up and terminate the TAS now rather than
waiting until 2022, and request that the Court order them to do
so. The amount of money that the Dollar Interest Holders stand to
receive now is likely greater than the amount of money they would
receive in 2022, if the Trustees are forced to incur over four
years of additional costs.

Plaintiffs request that this action proceed under a Level 3
Discovery Control Plan pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure
190.4.

NUTRACEUTICAL INT'L: Rigrodsky & Long Files Class Action Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., filed a class action complaint in the
United States District Court for the District of Utah on behalf of
holders of Nutraceutical International Corporation
("Nutraceutical") (NasdaqGS:NUTR) common stock in connection with
the proposed acquisition of Nutraceutical by affiliates of HGGC,
LLC ("HGGC") announced on May 22, 2017 (the "Complaint").  The
Complaint, which alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 against Nutraceutical, its Board of Directors (the
"Board"), and HGGC, is captioned Berg v. Nutraceutical
International Corporation, Case No. 17-cv-830 (D. Utah).

If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions
concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact
plaintiff's counsel, Seth D. Rigrodsky or Gina M. Serra at
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington,
DE 19803, by telephone at (888) 969-4242, by e-mail at info@rl-
legal.com, or at http://rigrodskylong.com/contact-us/.

On May 21, 2017, Nutraceutical entered into an agreement and plan
of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with HGGC.  Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, shareholders of Nutraceutical will receive
$41.80 in cash for each share of Nutraceutical stock they own (the
"Proposed Transaction").

Among other things, the Complaint alleges that, in an attempt to
secure shareholder support for the Proposed Transaction,
defendants issued materially incomplete disclosures in a proxy
statement (the "Proxy Statement") filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2017.  The
Complaint alleges that the Proxy Statement, which recommends that
Nutraceutical stockholders vote in favor of the Proposed
Transaction, omits material information necessary to enable
shareholders to make an informed decision as to how to vote on the
Proposed Transaction, including material information with respect
to the analyses performed by Nutraceutical's financial advisor and
potential conflicts of interest.  The Complaint seeks injunctive
and equitable relief and damages on behalf of holders of
Nutraceutical common stock.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than October 9, 2017.  A lead plaintiff is a representative
party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the
litigation.  Any member of the proposed class may move the Court
to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may
choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., with offices in Wilmington, Delaware and
Garden City, New York, regularly prosecutes securities fraud,
shareholder corporate, and shareholder derivative litigation on
behalf of shareholders in state and federal courts throughout the
United States. [GN]


NORDSTROM INC: 9th Cir. Affirms Dismissal of Workers' PAGA Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, issued an
Opinion affirming the Judgment of the trial court dismissing the
cases captioned CHRISTOPHER MENDOZA, an individual, on behalf of
himself and all other persons similarly situated, Plaintiff-
Appellant, and MEAGAN GORDON, Plaintiff-Intervenor, v. NORDSTROM,
INC., a Washington Corporation authorized to do business in the
State of California, Defendant-Appellee; and CHRISTOPHER MENDOZA,
an individual, on behalf of himself and all other persons
similarly situated, Plaintiff, and MEAGAN GORDON, Plaintiff-
Intervenor-Appellant, v. NORDSTROM, INC., a Washington Corporation
authorized to do business in the State of California, Defendant-
Appellee, Nos. 12-57130, 12-57144 (9th Cir.).

Plaintiff Christopher Mendoza and Plaintiff-Intervenor Meagan
Gordon (Plaintiffs) appeal the dismissal of their California Labor
Code Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims against Defendant
Nordstrom, Inc., alleging violations of California's "day of rest"
law.

Mendoza sued Nordstrom, alleging that it had violated California
Labor Code sections 551 and 552 by failing to provide him with one
day's rest in seven on three occasions. He brought the action in
California state court; Nordstrom removed to federal court.
Mendoza also pleaded other claims that are not at issue in the
present appeal. He filed his complaint on behalf of a class of
similarly situated hourly, non-exempt Nordstrom employees in
California, and he brought the relevant claim pursuant to the
California's Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004.

The California Supreme Court accepted certification and modified
the questions slightly.

The first question asked: Is the day of rest required by sections
551 and 552 calculated by the workweek, or does it apply on a
rolling basis to any seven-consecutive-day period?

The California Supreme Court responded: A day of rest is
guaranteed for each workweek. Periods of more than six consecutive
days of work that stretch across more than one workweek are not
per se prohibited.

The second question asked: Does the section 556 exemption for
workers employed six hours or less per day apply so long as an
employee works six hours or less on at least one day of the
applicable week, or does it apply only when an employee works no
more than six hours on each and every day of the week?

The California Supreme Court responded: The exemption for
employees working shifts of six hours or less applies only to
those who never exceed six hours of work on any day of the
workweek. If on any one day an employee works more than six hours,
a day of rest must be provided during that workweek, subject to
whatever other exceptions might apply.

The third question asked: What does it mean for an employer to
cause' an employee to go without a day of rest:  force, coerce,
pressure, schedule, encourage, reward, permit, or something else?

The California Supreme Court responded: An employer causes its
employee to go without a day of rest when it induces the employee
to forgo rest to which he or she is entitled. An employer is not,
however, forbidden from permitting or allowing an employee, fully
apprised of the entitlement to rest, independently to choose not
to take a day of rest.

Under the California Supreme Court's now-binding interpretation of
these provisions, Plaintiffs were not aggrieved employees.

Under the requirements of Labor Code section 2699.3, they would
have to exhaust their claims administratively before bringing a
PAGA action of their own. Well before trial, the district court
asked Plaintiffs if they wished to include additional plaintiffs,
Plaintiffs declined.

Only as the trial was beginning did Plaintiffs request to present
new witnesses who might have been aggrieved. But Plaintiffs
apparently did not propose to add these people as PAGA plaintiffs
and, in any event, Plaintiffs ultimately agreed not to demand the
witnesses.

The Ninth Circuit pointed out that Plaintiffs have cited no
authority -- and it has located none -- explaining why the
district court was obligated to permit the addition or
substitution of PAGA representatives. Plaintiffs invoke
authorities holding that district courts may permit substitution
of class representatives in ordinary class action cases, but that
comparison is unavailing for at least two reasons.

First, a PAGA suit is fundamentally different than a class action.
Second, a district court's discretion to permit substitutions or
additions of parties is not a requirement that it do so. The court
was under no such obligation.

The district court did not err by dismissing the case, the Ninth
Circuit held.

called on a telephone number which was registered on the National
Do Not Call Registry without prior express written consent from

PHARMACEUTICAL SPECIALTIES: Quinonez's Bid to Certify Class Nixed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Beverly Reid O'Connell denies the Plaintiff's motion for
class certification in the lawsuit titled BRIANNA QUINONEZ, ET AL.
v. PHARMACEUTICAL SPECIALTIES, INC., Case No. 2:16-cv-05966-BRO-
AGR (C.D. Cal.).

Brianna Quinonez, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, filed her original class action Complaint on
August 10, 2016.  The action arises from a dispute about the
efficacy of Pharmaceutical Specialties, Inc.'s product, Vanicream
SPF 50+ Sunscreen.  The Plaintiff contends that PSI mislabeled its
Products claiming the Product was rated SPF 50+.  She alleges that
it was determined that the Product had an actual SPF of only 17.

In her First Amended Complaint, the Plaintiff seeks to certify the
class and sub-class:

   Class: All persons who purchased a product in the Vanicream
          SPF 50+ product line in the United States, within the
          applicable statute of limitations, for personal use
          until the date notice is disseminated.  Excluded from
          this Class is Defendant and its officers, directors and
          employees and those who purchased a Product in the
          Vanicream SPF 50+ product line for the purpose of
          resale.

   Sub-Class: All California consumers who purchased a product in
          the Vanicream SPF 50+ product line, within the
          applicable statute of limitations, for personal use
          until the date notice is disseminated.  Excluded from
          this Class are Defendants and its officers, directors
          and employees and those who purchased a Product in the
          Vanicream SPF 50+ product line for the purpose of
          resale.

According to the civil minutes, the Court denies the Motion due to
the Plaintiff Counsel's manifest inadequacy.

Judge O'Connell notes, among other things, that the Counsel's
utter failure to vigorously pursue discovery beyond initial
document requests and interrogatories since the Action's filing in
August 2016, failure to offer any substantive evidence whatsoever
to support the Motion and failure to respond to the serious
concerns raised by defense counsel leave the Court of firm
conviction that the Plaintiff's Counsel are not adequate to
protect the rights of absent Class members and vigorously litigate
the Action.

Hence, the Plaintiff's Motion is denied.  Judge O'Connell opines
that the denial is without prejudice so the Plaintiff may seek,
retain or associate adequate counsel to represent her and the
putative Class.  Absent adequate counsel, the Plaintiff shall
proceed to litigate her claims as an individual.

PSCU INCORPORATED: Court Refuses to Certify Class in "Davis" Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Charlene Edwards Honeywell denies the Plaintiff's motion
for conditional certification in the lawsuit captioned LARRY DAVIS
v. PSCU INCORPORATED, Case No. 8:16-cv-02079-CEH-JSS (M.D. Fla.).

Larry Davis brings the putative collective and class action
against his former employer, PSCU, asserting claims for unpaid
overtime in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, breach of
contract, and unjust enrichment.  Mr. Davis' primary contention is
that PSCU failed to pay him and other employees for time spent
logging in to and out of PSCU's computer system during every
shift.

In the Motion, Mr. Davis seeks conditional certification of an
FLSA class defined as: "All current and former hourly customer
service representatives -- both call center based and home based -
- who worked for Defendant at any time during the last three
years."

Judge Honeywell opines that Mr. Davis provides no persuasive
evidence that other employees wish to join the action.  Judge
Honeywell adds that Mr. Davis fails to offer any reliable, non-
conclusory evidence that the putative plaintiffs are similarly
situated.  Thus, Judge Honeywell notes, on the facts of this case,
the Court finds that "the purpose of a collective action -- to
efficiently resolve a large number of plaintiffs' claims" -- will
not be served by conditional certification.

SAMSUNG: Wins Galaxy 7 Class Action in South Korea
--------------------------------------------------
Lindsey Pulse, writing for Newsy, reports that things might be
looking up for Samsung -- you know, after the whole "phones
randomly exploding" debacle last year.

Yonhap News Agency reports a court in South Korea has ruled in
favor of the tech company in a class-action lawsuit filed by
consumers.

According to the outlet, the suit alleged recalls of the Galaxy
Note 7 caused various inconveniences to some consumers and sought
around $822,000 in compensation.

But the district court overseeing the case reportedly said Samsung
did its job in making the recall as easy as possible for
consumers.

The news comes as Samsung gears up to launch the Galaxy Note 8
later this month. [GN]


SEE'S CANDY: Wins Bid to Dismiss "Weiss" Suit
---------------------------------------------
The United States District Court, Northern District of California,
issued an order granting Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the case
captioned AVI WEISS, Plaintiff, v. SEE'S CANDY SHOPS, INC., et
al., Defendants, Case No. 16-cv-00661-EMC (N.D. Cal.).

See's has represented to its customers that certain candies,
including but not limited to the Valentine's Day Classic Red Heart
Box in various sizes and weights are Kosher certified.  The
lawsuit alleged they were not.  According to Mr. Weiss, he and
other putative class members have been harmed because they
overpaid for the products (or would not have purchased the
products) had they known that the products were not Kosher
certified.

In the case at hand, there are relevant facts in dispute, extent
of the mislabeling problem, and, as the parties have submitted
only written materials to the Court, Mr. Weiss is required to make
only a prima facie showing of jurisdiction, the Court held.  For
these reasons, Mr. Weiss has failed to satisfy that low standard
that is, he has failed to make a prima facie case that the amount-
in-controversy exceeds $5 million, the Court added.

Because Mr. Weiss had the opportunity to take jurisdictional
discovery and yet still failed to make a prima facie case that the
amount in controversy exceeds $5 million, he has failed to
establish subject matter jurisdiction in this Court, the Court
said.  And given he was afforded an opportunity to take discovery,
dismissal without leave to amend is warranted, the report added.

See's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is
granted.

SEQUANS COMMUNICATIONS: Howard G. Smith Files Investor Class Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith disclosed that a class action
lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased
Sequans Communications S.A ("Sequans" or the "Company") (NYSE:
SQNS) securities between April 29, 2016 through July 31, 2017,
inclusive (the "Class Period"). Sequans investors have until
October 10, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Sequans investments are
encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to
discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or
by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

On August 1, 2017, Sequans disclosed that the Company's second
quarter revenue was negatively affected after the Company had to
take product back into their inventory from an early 2016 sale
related to the tablet business.

On this news, Sequans stock dropped $0.67 per share, or over 18%,
to close at $3.01 per share on August 1, 2017.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout
the Class Period, Sequans made false and/or misleading statements
and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Sequans was improperly
recognizing revenue; and (2) as a result, Defendants' public
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.

If you purchased shares of Sequans during the Class Period you may
move the Court no later than October 10, 2017 to ask the Court to
appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal
requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any
action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take
no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to

SOCIAL SECURITY: 4th Cir. Affirms Dismissal of "Rose"
-----------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, issued an
opinion vacating the judgment of the District Court and remanding
with direction for the District Court to dismiss the case
captioned JENNY ROSE and KATHY COLLINS, individually and on behalf
of all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs-Appellants, and KEVIN
ROBERTSON, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, in her official
capacity as Acting Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration, Defendant-Appellee, No. 16-2377 (4th Cir.).

Jenny Rose and Kathy Collins appeal the district court's order
dismissing their complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction
based on failure to exhaust administrative remedies, pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1).

The Fourth Circuit held that a case becomes moot when the issues
presented are no longer live or the parties lack a legally
cognizable interest in the outcome.  A change in factual
circumstances can moot a case on appeal, such as when the
plaintiff receives the relief sought in his or her claim, or when
an event occurs that makes it impossible for the court to grant
any effectual relief to the plaintiff.

The Acting Commissioner contends that this appeal is moot because
both Rose and Collins have now exhausted their administrative
remedies. Rose concedes that her action is moot and has filed an
unopposed motion to vacate the judgment.  Counsel for Collins
state that they are unable to contact Collins regarding the issue
of mootness, despite several attempts to do so.

However, the Acting Commissioner has submitted evidence of
Collins' exhaustion in the form of copies of an unfavorable
administrative law judge decision and a subsequent notice that the
agency's Appeals Council had denied review.

The Fourth Circuit concludes that this appeal is moot because
neither Rose nor Collins has a legally cognizable interest in the
outcome" and it is impossible for the court to grant any effectual
relief.

The Fourth Circuit therefore vacates the district court's judgment
and remand with directions for the district court to dismiss the
action.

STEWART ENTERPRISES: La. App. Junks Appeal in Stockholder Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit, issued a Decree
dismissing the Plaintiff's appeals case captioned KAREN MOULTON,
INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, v.
STEWART ENTERPRISES, INC., JOHN B. ELSTROTT, JR., THOMAS M.
KITCHEN, ALDEN J. MCDONALD, JR., RONALD H. PATRON, ASHTON J. RYAN,
JR., JOHN K. SAER, JR., FRANK B. STEWART, JR., AND SERVICE CORP.
INTERNATIONAL, RIO ACQUISITION CORP. PHILIP JOSEPH ROSEN,
INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF OF ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, v.
STEWART ENTERPRISES, INC., FRANK B. STEWART, JR., JOHN B.
ELSTROTT, ALDEN J. MCDONALD, JR., THOMAS M. KITCHEN, ASHTON J.
RYAN, JR., RONALD H. PATRON, JOHN K. SAER, JR., SERVICE
CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL, AND RIO ACQUISITION CORP., No. 2017-CA-
0243, Consolidated With No. 2017-CA-0244 (La. App.).

This is a direct stockholder class action. From the trial court's
judgment granting certain defendants' motions for summary
judgment, the plaintiffs appeal.

This suit arises out of a $1.4 billion merger transaction
involving two of the country's largest publicly traded death care
companies -- Service Corporation International (SCI) and Stewart
Enterprises, Inc. (STEI).

Karen Moulton filed a class action suit on behalf of herself and
the public stockholders of STEI (the Moulton Suit). Named as
defendants in the Moulton Suit were STEI; the seven members of
STEI's board of directors  Frank Stewart, Jr.,  John Elstrott,
Jr.,  Alden McDonald, Jr.,  Thomas Kitchen,  Ashton Ryan, Jr.,
Ronald Patron; and John Saer, Jr.,  SCI and Rio.

Ms. Moulton alleged, inter alia, that the sale price was
inadequate and that the sale process was unfair.

Philip Joseph Rosen filed a similar class action suit on behalf of
himself and the public stockholders of STEI against the same
defendants making similar allegations as in the Moulton Suit.

Thereafter, the remaining defendants filed two motions for summary
judgment. One motion was filed by Mr. Stewart; the other motion
was filed by the remaining six director-defendants and STEI. The
trial court granted certain defendants' motions for summary
judgment.

This appeal followed.

Here, the trial court's October 31, 2016 judgment states as
follows:

     It is hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed that the
Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment are Granted. Pursuant to
La. Code Civ. Proc. Art. 1915, this judgment is designated a final
judgment.

Applying the principles, the appeals court finds that the trial
court's judgment fails to satisfy the jurisprudential requirements
for a valid final judgment. The judgment fails to identify which
of the defendants' summary judgment motions are granted.

Although the judgment states that it grants the motions for
summary judgment filed by certain of the defendants, the judgment
fails to state the relief granted. Stated otherwise, the judgment
fails to state what claims, if any, are dismissed and whether the
dismissal is with prejudice. Rather, the judgment simply states
that certain of the defendants' motions for summary judgment are
granted.

Given the instant appeal, as lodged, lacks a valid final judgment,
we lack appellate jurisdiction to address the merits of the
appeal. Because the instant appeal was not filed within thirty
days from the date of the trial court's judgment, the appeals
court declines to exercise its discretion to convert the
plaintiffs' appeal to a writ application.

The appeals court thus dismisses the plaintiffs' appeal without
prejudice and remand for further proceeding. Once a final
appealable judgment is rendered, the parties may file a new appeal
with this court.

The appeal filed by the plaintiffs in this matter is dismissed
without prejudice and this matter is remanded.

Young, LLP, 834 F.3d 975(9th Cir. 2016) 137 S.Ct. 809 (U.S. Jan
13, 2017), the controlling decision in the Northern District of
California's circuit regarding whether class action waivers
violate the National Labor Relations Act. The Supreme Court has
set Morris for oral argument on October 2, 2017.

Pending a decision in Morris, the parties have stipulated to a
stay of all discovery deadlines related to class and collective
claims. The parties have further stipulated that defendants can
move to compel arbitration until a reasonable time after the U.S.
Supreme Court decision in Morris and that plaintiff will not
assert a waiver argument or defense for defendants' delay in
bringing a motion to compel.

The parties' stipulation is granted as modified.

TRANSDIGM GROUP: Glancy Prongay Files Class Action Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP disclosed that a class action lawsuit
has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased TransDigm
Group Incorporated ("TransDigm" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:TDG)
securities between May 10, 2016 and January 19, 2017, inclusive
(the "Class Period"). TransDigm investors have until October 10,
2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion. To obtain information or
participate in the class action, please visit the TransDigm page
on our website at www.glancylaw.com/case/transdigm-group-inc.

On January 20, 2017, Citron Research issued a report accusing
TransDigm of being the "Valeant of the aerospace industry." The
report disclosed that the Company uses multiple shell distributors
that have no pricing power to avoid detection by making government
bids seems competitive. Citron further emphasized that TransDigm's
growth was driven, in large part, by rampant acquisitions and
extreme debt levels.

On this news, TransDigm's share price dropped $24.86 per share, or
9.87%, from $251.76 per share on January 19, 2017 to $226.90 per
share on January 20, 2017, thereby damaging investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that TransDigm
made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose
that: (1) TransDigm's growth and profitability were artificially
inflated as a result of its illicit business practices; (2) the
Company used exclusive distributors to make noncompetitive
government bids seems competitive; (3) TransDigm subsidiaries
failed to list TransDigm as a parent entity when submitting
government bids; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants'
statements about TransDigm's business, operations, and prospects
were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. As a
result of this fraudulent scheme, Defendants were able to
artificially inflate the Company's financials throughout the Class
Period. [GN]

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Fights FACTA Class Action Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Zachary Lewis, writing for Legal Newsline, reports that a motion
to dismiss has been filed by the University of Southern California
against a class action lawsuit accusing the college of violating
the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

According to the memorandum filed June 22 in the U.S. District
Court Central District of California, the plaintiffs Elizabeth
Alvarado and Jose Ramos failed to produce facts supporting the
plausibility of their claim. USC further argues the complaint was
filed without alleging "actual harm" and without arguing that the
violation was committed willfully by the university under FACTA.

Alvarado and Ramos filed their complaints on April 18 against the
University of Southern California and 10 other unidentified
defendants alleging more than the last five digits of their credit
card numbers had been printed on receipts they received from the
university.

They claim to have suffered damages from possible having their
card information compromised and are seeking an injunction against
the university for preventing further incidents, statutory
damages, punitive damages, courts costs, and any other relief the
court decides to grant.

The university's attorneys, however, assert the plaintiffs are not
alleging they were victims of identity theft or that their
information was actually compromised and stolen - nor are they
alleging the university had "knowingly or recklessly" made their
information public.

From the defense's stance and interpretation of the FACTA, harm to
a party must have occurred or facts proving intent to cause harm
must be presented in order to sue under the federal law.

The University of Southern California is represented by attorneys
Ekwan E. Rhow and Andrew McTernan of Bird, Marella, Boxer,
Wolpert, Nessim, Drooks, Lincenberg & Rhow PC in Los Angeles.

WALGREENS BOOTS: Faces Class Action Suit Over Clawbacks
-------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Schencker, writing for Chicago Tribune, reports that a
California man is suing Walgreens Boots Alliance, accusing it of
profiting by charging customers with insurance more for generic
drugs than what they would have paid if they had not presented an
insurance card.

David Grabstald filed the proposed class-action lawsuit in federal
court in Illinois, accusing the Deerfield-based pharmacy giant of
fraudulently overcharging many customers for generic drugs.

Walgreens does this, Grabstald alleges, because of its agreements
with pharmacy benefit managers -- which act as middlemen between
pharmacies and insurance companies.

Customers pay pre-determined copays for medications even if the
medications actually cost less than the copays, according to the
lawsuit. Some of the extra money goes to the pharmacy and some of
it goes to the pharmacy benefit manager, Grabstald alleges.

For example, if a patient's copay on a generic drug is $15 but the
drug only costs the pharmacy $2, the pharmacy might get to keep an
extra $5 of that copay and send the remaining $8 to the pharmacy
benefit manager, he alleges.

Grabstald alleges that he was charged an average of $17.74 when he
used his insurance to buy a prescription drug at Walgreens on
several occasions this year and last year, but that he would have
only been charged $10 for that same drug if he had not used his
insurance. Walgreens did not tell him it would be cheaper to pay
for the drug outright, he alleges.

"You don't expect when you go into your pharmacy that you're going
to pay more by using your insurance card than a cash payer would
just walking in off the street," said Steve Berman, an attorney
for Grabstald and a partner at law firm Hagens Berman Sobol
Shapiro. "You don't expect that a pharmacist is hiding that from
you."

Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso said in an email, "The complaint
lacks merit and we will vigorously defend against the
allegations."

The same law firm that filed the suit on behalf of Grabstald filed
a similar lawsuit against Walgreens rival CVS Health earlier.

At least 16 other lawsuits have also been over so-called
clawbacks, according to a Bloomberg investigative story on the
issue published earlier this year.

CVS Health spokesman Mike DeAngelis said in a statement that the
allegations against CVS are without merit and built on a false
premise. He noted that copays are determined by a patient's
prescription coverage plan, not pharmacies, and he said CVS' own
pharmacy benefit manager, CVS Caremark, does not engage in the
practice of copay clawbacks.

"CVS has not overcharged patients for prescription copays, and we
will vigorously defend against these baseless allegations,"
DeAngelis said.

Such clawbacks are not uncommon, according to the National
Community Pharmacists Association. About 83 percent of pharmacists
surveyed by the association earlier this year said they had
witnessed such copay clawbacks at least 10 times in a month,
though two-thirds of those surveyed said not all pharmacy benefit
managers engage in the practice.

According to that survey, pharmacy benefit managers sometimes also
impose "gag clauses" that forbid pharmacists from volunteering to
customers when it might be cheaper to pay for a drug outright than
with insurance.

Attempts to reach the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association,
which represents pharmacy benefit managers, were not immediately
successful. [GN]

WELLS FARGO: Multidistrict Litigation Sought in Class Actions
-------------------------------------------------------------
B. Colby Hamilton, writing for New York Law Journal, reports that,
have crisis, will see class actions. That's the fate befalling
Wells Fargo (again) after news broke that it inappropriately
charged some 800,000 auto loan customers with insurance that they
didn't want. The move forced tens of thousands into delinquency,
according to an internal report.

Little surprise, then, that class action suits have started
popping up all over the country, including one more recently filed
in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California. One of those suits is looking to make the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York home to the
disparate actions.

The latest suit, brought by Robins Kaplan and led by assistant
managing partner in the New York office Hollis Salzman, is on
behalf of Kaylani Ross and Dee Lenz, two Wisconsin Wells Fargo
customers that took out an auto loan in 2014. They allege that the
bank continued to bill them for forced insurance, despite the pair
having their own and requesting that the duplicative insurance be
dropped. The failure of the bank to do so ultimately resulted in
financial trouble and repossession of their vehicle.

The suit, Ross v. Wells Fargo 17-cv-04498, brings RICO claims on
behalf of the class, as well as federal Sherman Act antitrust and
California Unfair Competition Law claims.

"This is the story of thousands of people out there, who
ultimately saw themselves charged, tried to get it taken care of
unsuccessfully, and, as we allege, Wells Fargo was doing it all
along to earn extra profits," said Robins Kaplan partner Kellie
Lerner, who, along with Salzman, is leading the litigation from
the firm's New York office.

"Wells Fargo's continued promises to do right by their customers
ring hollow when it knew about this particular problem for months
and did not take any action until The New York Times published a
story about it," she added.

The Ross suit is likely to fall under the multidistrict litigation
request filed by Dicello Levitt & Casey name attorney Adam Levitt.
Chicago-based Levitt is currently steering Jacob v. National
General Insurance 17-cv-05806, another class action suit against
Wells Fargo that also names the bank's subsidiary insurance
provider.

In a supporting brief filed Aug. 2 with the Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation, Levitt noted that two other actions--
Hancock v. Wells Fargo 17-cv-04324 filed and Preston v. Wells
Fargo 17-cv-04346, both filed in the Northern District of
California--face the common set of facts, defendants, and are
early enough in the process to consolidate the actions to the
Southern District of New York.

"The Southern District of New York is an appropriate and
convenient forum to handle this litigation given that one of the
Defendants is located just steps from the courthouse, and the
judge in the Jacob Action is well-suited to oversee these actions
as her inaugural multidistrict case," the brief argued.
A panel hearing on the motion to transfer is scheduled in Boston
on Sept. 28. [GN]


WOOD RIVER: Settles Pollution Class Action for $4.5 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lynsey Whitaker and Doug Jenkins, writing for WBGZ Radio, report
that Alton law firm Simmons Hanly Conroy has announced a
settlement of nearly four and a half million dollars covering more
than 183 properties in the Roxana area. The settlement comes from
pollutants underground from the Wood River Refinery. A lawsuit was
filed back in April of 2012 by shareholders of Simmons Hanly
Conroy, with multiple alleged violations including high
contaminant levels found in some local neighborhoods.

The highest level of contamination was found in the village Public
Works Yard, where it registered some 26,000 times the allowed
limit at certain depths. Residents and property owners in Roxana
who meet the class requirements are automatically eligible to
receive an equal portion of the settlement. If you are not willing
to participate in the settlement, you must opt out. The refinery
experienced 18 spills within 25 years of dangerous toxins. [GN]

* Trump Seeks 18 Month Delay on Retirement Savings Rules
--------------------------------------------------------
Insurance Journal reports that the Trump administration is moving
to further delay part of an Obama-era rule to require brokers who
offer retirement advice to put their customers' interests ahead of
their own.

The U.S. Department of Labor said in a court filing that it has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a proposal to
postpone parts of the so-called fiduciary rule for an additional
18 months. If approved, Wall Street firms would have until July
2019 to make adjustments to the most contentious parts of a rule
that they say could open them up to a wave of lawsuits.

The Labor Department measure, the first major overhaul of
retirement savings rules since the 1970s, was released last year
over strong objections from the financial industry and Republican
lawmakers. President Barack Obama's administration said at the
time that requiring brokers to put customers first would help
eliminate biased advice that costs retirement savers billions of
dollars annually in high fees and commissions.

Financial firms and industry groups have argued that the new rules
would prompt brokerages to drop clients with small amounts of
savings and limit customers' investment options. The U.S. Chamber
of Commerce and other groups have sued to overturn the fiduciary
standard, which they've termed "deliberately unworkable." A delay
could help financial firms by giving regulators time to make
tweaks to the rule that the industry would like to see.

                    Substantial Rewrite

"While this delay was widely expected, it is a positive for the
industry nonetheless," said Issac Boltansky, an analyst at Compass
Point Research & Trading. "This delay sets the stage for a
substantial rewrite."

The industry fought especially hard to tweak what's known as the
best interest contract exemption, which allows clients to join
together in class-action lawsuits against financial firms.

President Donald Trump set his sights on the fiduciary rule early
in his presidency by signing an executive order in February to
delay its implementation. While Wall Street firms had hoped that
action would lead to the rule being scrapped, Labor Secretary
Alexander Acosta disappointed them earlier this year when he said
the rule would be implemented. As a result, the bulk of the
provisions took effect in June. Others were delayed until January
2018 and now could be further delayed to July 2019.

"The regulation is already harming retirement savers," James
Szostek, a vice president at the American Council of Life
Insurers, said in a statement. "The department needs to act as
quickly as it can to reverse course to correct this regulation."

The delay plan was disclosed in documents submitted by the Labor
Department as part of a lawsuit filed in Minnesota. Three
provisions of the fiduciary rule, including the part permitting
class-action suits, are currently set to take effect in January.

"Given the importance and implementation requirements, we
recognize the regulated community will need time to make the
changes necessary to be compliant with the remaining
requirements," Laura Edling, a spokeswoman for Vanguard Group,
said in a statement. She said Labor should delay the rule to allow
a realistic timeframe for financial institutions to comply with
the outstanding provisions. [GN]
