8POINT3 ENERGY: "Franchi" Securities Suit Transferred to N.D. Cal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The case captioned Adam Franchi, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. 8Point3 Energy Partners
LP, Charles D. Boynton, Mark R. Widmar, Natalie F. Jackson, Alex
Bradley, Thomas C. O'Connor, Norman J. Szydlowski and Michael W.
Yackira, Defendants, Case No. 18-cv-00493, (D. Del., April 3,
2018), was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California on April 30, 2018, under Case No.
3:18-cv-02549.

Franchi seeks to enjoin defendants and all persons acting in
concert with them from proceeding with, consummating, or closing
the acquisition of 8point3 Energy Partners LP by affiliates of
Capital Dynamics, Inc., rescinding it and setting it aside or
awarding rescissory damages in the event defendants consummate
the merger.  The Plaintiff further seeks costs of this action,
including reasonable allowance for attorneys' and experts' fees
and such other and further relief under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Partnership's
Class A shareholders will receive $12.35 per share in cash.

8point3 is a limited partnership that owns, operates and acquires
solar energy generation projects.

According to the complaint, the Defendants filed a proxy
statement that failed to disclose revenues from unconsolidated
affiliates, principal repayments related to refinancing
activities, all line items used to calculate unlevered free cash
flow, all line items used to calculate adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and reconciliation
of all non-GAAP to GAAP metrics. [BN]

424 MARKET: Curtis Alleges Improper Maintenance of Property
-----------------------------------------------------------
SLENE CURTIS, an individual, on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. 424 MARKET INVESTORS, LLC,
a Delaware Limited Liability Company; PEV HOLDINGS, LLC, a
California Limited Liability Company; THE PEV FAMILY REVOCABLE
TRUST; PACIFICA ENTERPRISES, INC., a California Corporation; GOOD
STEWARD MANAGEMENT, INC., a California Corporation; 424 MARKET
INVESTORS, LP, a California Limited Partnership, and DOES 1
through 100, inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. 37-2018-
00028562-CU-PO-CU (Cal. Super. Ct., June 8, 2018), alleges that
the Defendants improperly maintained their property leading to
the development of toxic mold that has led to severe medical
problems for employees that work at the Property.

The Defendants are owners of the property leased to Haunted
Hotel, Inc.[BN]

ABC PHONES: Fails to Pay Overtime & Minimum Wages, Trujillo Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
MARCO TRUJILLO, as an individual and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. ABC PHONES OF NORTH
CAROLINA, INC., dba VICTRA, a North Carolina Corporation; and
DOES 1 through 10, the Defendants, Case No. 8:18-cv-01014 (C.D.
Cal., June 8, 2018), seeks to recover all unpaid wages and
minimum wages under the California Labor Code.

According to the complaint, the Defendants paid Plaintiff and
similarly situated employees' sales commissions, non-
discretionary bonuses for completing trainings, and/or other
forms of non-discretionary pay not excludable as a matter of law
when calculating an employee's regular rate of pay. Despite
Defendants' payment of Incentive Pay to Plaintiff and similarly
situated employees, Defendants failed to properly incorporate the
value of earned Incentive Pay when calculating Plaintiff's and
similarly situated employees' regular rates of pay when they
worked overtime hours and received Incentive Pay during the
corresponding pay period, thereby causing Plaintiff and similarly
situated employees to be underpaid all of their earned overtime
wages.[BN]

ACCELORE GROUP: Certification of FLSA Class Sought
--------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit styled Justin Castine and Rayan Black, on behalf
of themselves and similarly situated others, the Plaintiffs, v.
Accelore Group, L.L.C. d/b/a Accelore Solutions and DHL
Express (USA), Inc. d/b/a DHL Express, the Defendants, Case No.
1:18-cv-00496-RP (W.D. Tex.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court for an
order:

   1. conditionally certifying the lawsuit as collective action
      pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act:

      "all current and former employees of Defendants who are or
      were delivery drivers or couriers that reported to, worked
      at, or obtained freight or packages from the Austin DHL
      location on Cargo Avenue, Austin, Texas 78719, during the
      Class Period";

   2. approving Plaintiffs' proposed notices of the action;

   3. directing Defendants to provide name, contact information,
      dates of employment, and job titles for all potential class
      members;

   4. authorizing Plaintiffs to send the notices via first class
      mail, email, and text message; and

   5. allowing putative class members 90 days to opt-in to the
      action.

ADT LLC: Fails to Pay Wages Weekly, Chung Says
----------------------------------------------
JAY CHUNG, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiffs, v. ADT, LLC, and DOES 1 to 100, the
Defendant, Case No. BC707885 (Cal. Super, Ct., May 29, 2018),
seeks to recover unpaid wages under the California Labor Code.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiff and the class members
worked for Defendants as security guards. Pursuant to Labor Code
section 201.3(b), security guards must be paid weekly. The
Plaintiff intends to send a Private Attorneys General Act letter
to Defendants based on their violation of Labor Code 20 section
201.3, thereby entitled Plaintiff and the aggrieved employees to
the remedies in Labor Code section 210.

ADT Inc., formerly The ADT Corporation, is an American company
that provides residential and small business electronic security,
fire protection, and other related alarm monitoring services in
35 countries.[BN]

ADVANCED DATA: Placeholder Bid for Class Certification Filed
------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit styled PHYSICIANS HEALTHSOURCE, INC., an Ohio
corporation, individually and as the representative of a class of
similarly-situated persons, the Plaintiff, v. ADVANCED DATA
SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, LLC, ADVANCED DATA SYSTEMS CORP OF
DELAWARE and JOHN DOES 1-5, the Defendants, Case No. 2:16-cv-
03620-JMV-JBC (D.N.J.), the Plaintiff asks the Court for an
order:

   1. certifying a class of:

      "all persons who (1) on or after four years prior to the
      filing of this action, (2) were sent telephone facsimile
      messages of material advertising the commercial
      availability or quality of any property, goods, or services
      by or on behalf of Defendants, and (3) from which
      Defendants did not have prior express invitation or
      permission, or (4) which did not display a proper opt out
      notice"; and

      "all New Jersey residents who (1) on or after four years
      prior to the filing of this action, (2) were sent telephone
      facsimile messages of material advertising the commercial
      availability or quality of any property, goods, or services
      by or on behalf of Defendants, and (3) from which
      Defendants did not have prior express invitation or
      permission, or (4) which did not display a proper opt out
      notice."

   2. appointing Plaintiff as the class representative; and

   3. appointing Plaintiff's attorneys as class counsel.

The Plaintiff submits this First Amended "Placeholder" motion for
class certification, contemporaneously with its first amended
class action complaint. See Damasco v. Clearwire Corp., 662 F.3d
891, 896 (7th Cir. 2011) (holding plaintiffs "can move to certify
the class at the same time that they file their complaint" and
that "[t]he pendency of that motion protects a putative class
from attempts to buy off the named plaintiffs"), overruled in
part by Chapman v. First Index, Inc., 796 F.3d 783, 787 (7th Cir.
2015). The Third Circuit held in Weitzner v. Sanofi Pasteur,
Inc., 819 F.3d 61, 64 (3d Cir. 2016), that its prior decisions
holding that a defendant's offer of full individual relief can
"moot" a plaintiff's claim were overruled in Campbell-Ewald Co.
v. Gomez, 136 S. Ct. 663 (2016). The Third Circuit also
reaffirmed the "picking off exception to mootness" post-Campbell-
Ewald in Richardson v. Dir. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 829 F.3d 273,
283 (3d Cir. 2016). Nevertheless, the Third Circuit has not ruled
on whether a "placeholder" motion can prevent a defendant from
"mooting" a plaintiff's claim in some way other than an offer,
such as depositing funds with the court and moving for entry of
individual judgment in the plaintiff's favor. See Campbell-Ewald,
136 S. Ct. at 672 (declining to address this "hypothetical"); cf.
Fulton Dental, LLC v. Bisco, Inc., 860 F.3d 541, 545 (7th Cir.
2017) (finding "no principled distinction between attempting to
force a settlement on an unwilling party through Rule 68, as in
Campbell-Ewald, and attempting to force a settlement on an
unwilling party through Rule 67").

AEGEAN MARINE: Violates Securities Laws, Strougo Says
-----------------------------------------------------
ROBERT STROUGO, Individually and On Behalf of All Others
Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff, v. AEGEAN MARINE PETROLEUM
NETWORK INC., E. NIKOLAS TAVLARIOS AND SPYROS GIANNIOTIS, the
Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-05165 (S.D.N.Y., June 8, 2018),
seeks to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the
federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The case is a federal securities class action on behalf of a
class consisting of all persons other than Defendants who
purchased or otherwise acquired Aegean securities between April
28, 2016, and June 4, 2018, both dates inclusive.

Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. supplies and markets refined
marine fuel and lubricants to ships in port and at sea. The
Company also owns and operates a fleet of bunkering tankers in
multiple jurisdictions. Founded in 1995, Aegean is headquartered
in Piraeus, Greece, and its securities trade on the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "ANW." Throughout
the Class Period, Defendants allegedly 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) Aegean had improperly accounted for an approximate $200
million of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017; (ii)
Aegean failed to maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing,
Defendants' statements about Aegean's business, operations, and
prospects, were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.[BN]

ALLIANCE INSPECTION: Fails to Pay Minimum & OT, Cadena Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
DYLAN R. CADENA, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. ALLIANCE INSPECTION
MANAGEMENT, LLC, a California limited liability company; ALLIANCE
INSPECTION MANAGEMENT HOLDING, INC., a Delaware corporation; and
DOES 1 through 20, inclusive, the Defendant, Case No. BC708537
(Cal. Super. Ct., June 6, 2018), seeks to recover unpaid minimum
wages and overtime wages under the California Labor Code.

The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants knew or should have
known that Plaintiff and Class Members were entitled to receive
wages for all time worked (including minimum wages and overtime
wages) and that they were not receiving all wages earned for work
that was required to be performed. In violation of the Labor Code
and IWC Wage Orders, the Plaintiff and Class Members were not
paid all wages (including minimum wages and overtime wages) for
all hours worked when Defendants required Plaintiff and Class
Members to work during meal periods and off-the-clock to
Defendants' benefit, among other things. Further, Defendants
improperly calculated the overtime rate of pay for Plaintiff and
Class Members because the rates did not include all non-
discretionary wages, including, but not limited to, bonuses or
commissions, into the computation of their regular rate of pay
for purposes of calculating the overtime rate of pay.

The Defendants provide vehicle inspection services in the State
of California.[BN]

------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit RE: THE ALLSTATE CORPORATION SECURITIES
LITIGATION, Case No. 1:16-cv-10510 (N.D. Ill.), the Plaintiffs
ask the Court for an order:

   1. certifying a class of:

      "all persons who purchased Allstate securities

      who were damaged thereby";

   2. appointing Lead Plaintiffs and City of Providence Employees
      Retirement System as Class Representatives; and

The complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and SEC Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, against The Allstate Corporation and two
individual defendants. Specifically, the complaint alleges that
Defendants' made material misstatements and omissions concerning
the existence and reasons for of a large spike in "claims
frequency" -- i.e., the number of claims filed -- against
Allstate auto insurance policies. When the truth was publicly
revealed via a series of disclosures between February and August
2015, Allstate's stock price fell dramatically, dropping 10% on
August 4, 2015 alone, and causing substantial losses to
investors. On February 27, 2018, the Court denied Defendants'
motion to dismiss the Complaint.

AMTRUST FINANCIAL: Investors Sue over Privatization, Stock Price
----------------------------------------------------------------
A class action lawsuit alleges that controlling stockholders of
AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. attempted to take AmTrust
private at an inopportune time for an unfair price and pursuant
to an unfair process.

AmTrust is controlled by the Karfunkel-Zyskind family, which owns
or controls 55% of the Company's outstanding stock and has three
members on the Company's board of directors, including the CEO,
Barry Zyskind. The Karfunkel-Zyskind family has dominated AmTrust
since it was founded by brothers George and Michael Karfunkel in
1998. From at least December 2013 through November 2017, AmTrust
used a wide range of fraudulent techniques to understate the
Company's loss reserves and overstate its financial results.
Evidence shows that a majority of the current Board was well
aware of AmTrust's issues, and either actively participated in,
or consciously disregarded, the accounting manipulation.

This forced the Company to restate nearly three years' worth of
revenue, total service and fee income, net income, and other
important metrics by double-digit percentages in 2017. It has
also led to numerous governmental investigations, including
investigations conducted by the New York Department of Financial
Services, the FBI, and the SEC. In the second half of 2017, after
the disclosure of these issues, the Company starting taking steps
to increase its capital and reserves, and represented that these
steps were putting the Company on strong footing to be profitable
going forward.

While the Karfunkel-Zyskind control of AmTrust caused severe
damage to the Company's stock price, plummeting from more than
$27 at the beginning of 2017, to $13.46 at the end of the third
quarter of 2017, the Company represented that the severe downward
pressure on the stock price was overstated and did not represent
the true value of the Company.

The case is captioned as POMPANO BEACH POLICE & FIREFIGHTERS'

SYSTEM, and WEST PALM BEACH POLICE PENSION FUND, on behalf of

CATALINA CHANNEL: Fails to Pay Minimum & Overtime, Gonzalez Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
ANDRES GONZALEZ, as an individual on behalf of all others

INC., a California Corporation; and DOES 1 through 100, the
Defendant, Case No. BC707664 (Cal. Super. Ct., May 29, 2018),
seeks to recover minimum and wages under the California Labor
Code.

According to the complaint, the Defendants operate a fleet of
high end and high-speed vessels providing transportation to and
from Catalina Island from Long Beach, San Pedro and Dana Point.
According to Defendants' website, each year, more than one
million passengers set sail on board the Catalina Express fleet.
Plaintiff worked for Defendants as a non-exempt employee in a
maintenance position, until his termination in or about January
2017.

During Plaintiff's employment, Plaintiff was required to clock in
and out for periods of work, and although Defendants recorded
Plaintiffs hours worked to the minute, Defendants only paid
Plaintiff in quarter of an hour increments. Defendants' rounding
of time to the quarter of an hour was not even-handed, and has
resulted in Plaintiff and putative class members not being
compensated for all hours worked.

Catalina Channel provides marine transportation services. The
Company offers passenger ferry services.[BN]

Inc. It purports to measure the implied volatility of large cap
U.S. stocks, over 30 days in the future.

CBS CORP: Diluting Voting Rights, National Amusements Claim
-----------------------------------------------------------
NATIONAL AMUSEMENTS, INC., NAI ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS
LLC, and SHARI REDSTONE, the Plaintiffs, v. LESLIE "LES" MOONVES,
CBS CORPORATION, GARY L. COUNTRYMAN, CHARLES K. GIFFORD, BRUCE S.
GORDON, LINDA M. GRIEGO, MARTHA L. MINOW, JOSEPH A. CALIFANO,
JR., WILLIAM S. COHEN, LEONARD GOLDBERG, ARNOLD KOPELSON, and
DOUG MORRIS, the Defendants, Case No. 2018-0374 (Del. Ch., May
29, 2018), seeks to enjoin issuance and payment of the dilutive
dividend.

The case is about "extraordinary, unjustified and unlawful"
actions by certain of the Directors of CBS Corporation to
unilaterally dilute the voting rights of its controlling
stockholder, NAI, for all purposes and for all time. It is
undisputed that the Director Defendants' actions are
unprecedented under Delaware law.

The dilutive dividend -- which the Director Defendants approved
following a hastily called and perfunctory special meeting of
the CBS Board on May 17, 2018, and on a "conditional" basis
pending Delaware court review -- is invalid for at least four
reasons: (i) it was declared in violation of the Company's
bylaws; (ii) it was based on the recommendation of a special
committee, comprised of five Director Defendants, acting far
beyond its authority; (iii) it violates the Company's charter;
and (iv) the Director Defendants' purported dilution of CBS's
voting stockholders violates the directors' fiduciary duties in
numerous ways. Defendants' actions have thrust the Company into
uncertainty and disarray, damaging all CBS stockholders,
including stockholders other than NAI for whose benefit the
Director Defendants purported to act.

First, the dividend is plainly invalid under CBS's bylaws, as
amended on May 16, 2018. At the time of the Special Meeting, the
Company's bylaws required adherence to certain procedural
requirements and a supermajority vote of at least 90% of the
directors to approve any dividend. Even putting aside the
procedural requirements, fewer than 90% of the directors voted in
favor of the Special Committee's recommended dilutive dividend.
The dilutive dividend is therefore a corporate nullity.

Second, the dilutive dividend is improper and ineffective because
the Board's vote was based on a recommendation of the Special
Committee that far exceeded its defined authority. The Special
Committee was constituted in February 2018 to "consider[],
negotiat[e] and oversee[]" a potential business combination of
CBS and Viacom, Inc. The Board did not authorize the Special
Committee to consider or recommend a dilutive dividend (much less
to initiate a lawsuit against NAI to try to render it defenseless
against that dividend). The Special Committee certainly lacked
any such authority after the Special Committee determined not to
support a CBS/Viacom combination and the committee's work was
therefore complete. The Board's action taken upon the Special
Committee's ultra vires recommendation is a nullity.

Third, the dilutive dividend violates CBS's charter. The charter
permits the issuance of dividends in the form of voting Class A
shares to Class A stockholders, and non-voting Class B shares to
Class B stockholders; it does not permit issuing Class A shares
to Class B stockholders, which is the novel method by which
Defendants have purported to strip NAI of its controlling stake
in CBS. Indeed, Defendants have consistently disclosed that any
dividend must preserve in all material respects the differences
between Class A and Class B stock, and acknowledged that NAI's
voting control is "nondilutable." Defendants' convenient post hoc
interpretation that NAI can be diluted in this way -- if it were
correct (and it is not) -- would have been a material fact
requiring disclosure in CBS's SEC filings. Not only did CBS make
no such disclosure, but it repeatedly emphasized NAI's voting
control.

Finally, in voting to approve the unprecedented dilutive dividend
and, with respect to the Special Committee directors, filing a
lawsuit and motion for a temporary restraining order on May 14,
Defendants willfully flouted their fiduciary duties to all CBS
stockholders, including NAI and CBS's other voting stockholders,
in at least three ways. First, Defendants did not face even a
cognizable threat, let alone extreme, truly extraordinary
circumstances, and they did not have a compelling justification
to take the action they did. The only purported "threats" cited
by Defendants to justify their conduct involved (i) a possible
cram down of a merger with Viacom, which was based entirely on
unsourced media reports and conjecture; and (ii) vague and
unsubstantiated claims that NAI was "interfering" with
management. There was no truth to these imagined threats, which
in any event do not remotely approach the requisite egregious,
extreme conduct and compelling justification for a board to
intentionally act to dilute the controlling stockholder.

CBS Corporation is an American mass media corporation focused on
commercial broadcasting, publishing, and television production,
with most of its operations in the United States.[BN]

similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. COLLECTO, INC. d/b/a
EOS CCA, the Defendants, Case No. 9:18-cv-80750-DMM (S.D. Fla.,
June 8, 2018), seeks redress for unlawful conduct of Defendant in
violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the
Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act.

According to the complaint, on or about April 8, 2018, Defendant
sent a collection letter to Plaintiff in an attempt to collect
the Consumer Debt. In the Collection letter, the Defendant seeks
to collect an amount totaling $28,033.68. On the back of the
Collection Letter, Defendant provides a break-down of the amount
it seeks to collect; specifically, inter alia, Defendant seeks to
collect $78.48 in "collection fees." Among other requirements,
Defendant must have either express authorization by an agreement
or express statutory authority to collect any sort of collection
fee; here, Defendant has neither. To that end, Defendant has
violated multiple provisions of the FDCPA when it attempted to
collect the "collection fee" from Plaintiff and other consumers.

CONCRETE LABOR: Vasquez Seeks Overtime Pay under FLSA

ELVIN VASQUEZ, and all others similarly situated under 29 U.S.C
206(B), the Plaintiff, v. CONCRETE LABOR SERVICES, INC., a
Florida Corporation, and ORESTES BOFFIL, individually, the
Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-22269-MGC (S.D. Fla., June 7, 2018),
contends that, throughout Plaintiff's employment with Concrete
Labor, the Plaintiff routinely worked for Concrete Labor from
Monday through Saturday, over 40 regular hours a week and
approximately 20 to 22 hours of overtime per week. Concrete Labor
willfully and intentionally failed/refused to pay to Plaintiff
the federally required overtime rate for the overtime hours he
worked.  It knew of the overtime requirements of the FLSA and
willfully/intentionally/recklessly failed to investigate whether
their payroll practices were in accordance with the Fair Labor
Standards Act. As a result, Plaintiff has suffered damages and is
entitled to receive overtime compensation.[BN]

CONSUMER PORTFOLIO: Placeholder Bid for Class Certification Filed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned ISRAEL BERNAL and MARCIA BERNAL,
Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, the
Plaintiffs, v. CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. and STATEWIDE
RECOVERY SPECIALISTS, LLC, the Defendants, Case No. 2:18-cv-00891
(E.D. Wisc.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order
certifying proposed classes in this case, appointing the
Plaintiffs as class representatives, and appointing Ademi &
O'Reilly, LLP as Class Counsel, and for such other and further
relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

The Plaintiffs further ask that the Court stay this class
certification motion until an amended motion for class
certification is filed, and that the Court grant the parties
relief from the local rules' automatic briefing schedule and
requirement that Plaintiffs file a brief and supporting documents
in support of this motion.

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.").

While the Seventh Circuit has held that the specific procedure
described in Campbell-Ewald cannot force the individual
settlement of a class representative's claims, the same decision
cautions that other methods may prevent a plaintiff from
representing a class. Fulton Dental, LLC v. Bisco, Inc., 860 F.3d
541, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2017).

-------------------------------------------------------------
CARLOS RIVAS, in his capacity as Private Attorney General
Representative, the Plaintiff, v. COVERALL NORTH AMERICA, INC.,
the Defendant, Case No. 8:18-cv-01007-AG-KES (C.D. Cal., June 7,
2018), alleges that the Defendant violated California law,
including requiring its cleaning workers to pay for their
cleaning work, as well as pay for various expenses that should
have been borne by the employer, such as for cleaning products,
equipment, and supplies; requiring the workers to pay for
franchise and additional business fees, as well as have other
charges improperly deducted from their pay, such as interest,
insurance, and administration charges, as well as withholding
wages in the form of "chargebacks" when customers fail to pay;
failing to provide proper itemized wage statements; failing to
pay wages twice each calendar month; willfully continuing to
misclassify its cleaning workers even after a recent ruling by
the California Supreme Court has made clear that these workers
are employees under California law; and failing to maintain
payroll records showing the hours worked daily and calculation of
wages paid to its cleaning workers.

The Plaintiff brings these claims pursuant to the Private
Attorney General Act on behalf of the state of California and all

CYTRX CORP: Settlement of "Crihfield" Case Has Initial Approval
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned Nicholas Crihfield, the Plaintiff, v.
CytRx Corporation, et al., the Defendants, Case No. 2:16-cv-
05519-SJO-SK (C.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge S. James Otero entered
an order granting Plaintiff's motion for preliminary approval of
class action settlement.

The Court said, "The Settlement Agreement proposes a $20,000
award to the Lead Plaintiff. Incentive awards are payments to
class representatives for their service to the class in bringing
the lawsuit. Radcliffe v. Experian Info. Sols. Inc., 715 F.3d
1157, 1163 (9th Cir. 2013). In evaluating incentive awards, the
Court may consider whether there is a "significant disparity
between the incentive award and the payments to the rest of the
class members" such that it creates a conflict of interest. Id.
At 1165. Nevertheless, "incentive awards are fairly typical in
class action cases" and are discretionary. Rodriguez v. W. Pub.
Corp., 563 F.3d 948, 958 (9th Cir. 2009) (emphasis removed).
"Incentive awards typically range from $2,000.00 to $10,000.00,"
and "higher awards are sometimes given in cases involving much
larger settlement amounts." Bellinghausen v. Tractor Supply Co.,
306 F.R.D. 245, 266-67 (N.D. Cal. 2015) (collecting cases). In
the Ninth Circuit, a $5,000 incentive award is "presumptively
reasonable." See Bellinghausen, 306 F.R.D. at 266. The Court
notes that Plaintiff's proposed $20,000 incentive award falls
well outside of this range, and that Plaintiff will be required
to provide justification for this award prior to the final
approval hearing. As these fees and awards are to be determined
separately from the underlying settlement, however, they do not
prevent a finding that the proposed settlement is fair, adequate
and reasonable. The evidence submitted by the parties
demonstrates that this settlement was negotiated at arm's length,
that the parties made significant efforts towards discovery, and
that experienced attorneys believed the settlement to present the
best possible outcome for the proposed class. The Court thus
finds that the proposed settlement, and the procedures stipulated
by the parties in their proposed order, are fair, adequate, and
reasonable. A final approval hearing shall be held on September
24, 2018 at 10:00 a.m."

DEUTSCHE BANK: Zhao Sues over Stock Price Drop
----------------------------------------------
YONGQIU ZHAO, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. DEUTSCHE BANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT,
JOHN CRYAN, JAMES VON MOLTKE, AND MARCUS SCHENCK, the Defendants,
Case No. 1:18-cv-05104 (S.D.N.Y., June 7, 2018), seeks to recover
damages caused by the Defendants' violations of the federal
securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The case is a federal securities class action on behalf of a
class consisting of all persons other than Defendants who
purchased or otherwise acquired Deutsche Bank securities between
March 20, 2017, and May 30, 2018, both dates inclusive.

Throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made allegedly
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) Deutsche Bank's internal
control environment and infrastructure were materially weak and
deficient; and (ii) as a result, Deutsche Bank's statements about
the Company's business and operations were materially false and
misleading at all relevant times.

On May 31, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S.
Federal Reserve has designated Deutsche Bank's U.S. business to
be in "troubled condition," citing concerns "about its controls
around measuring financial exposure to clients and valuing
collateral that backed loans." The article further reported that
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has added Deutsche
Bank's subsidiary Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to its
"problem banks" list of at-risk institutions.

On this news, Deutsche Bank's share price fell $0.49, or 4.24%,
to close at $11.08 on May 31, 2018. As a result of Defendants'
wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the
market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff and other
Class members have suffered significant losses and damages.

Deutsche Bank is a global financial service provider delivering
commercial, investment, private, and retail banking. The Bank
offers debt, foreign exchange, derivatives, commodities, money
markets, repo and securitization, cash equities, research, equity
prime services, loans, convertibles, advice on M&A and IPO's,
trade finance, retail banking, asset management, and corporate
investments.

Founded in 1870, Deutsche Bank is headquartered in Frankfurt am
Main, Germany, and its securities trade on the New York Stock

DR. PEPPER: Court Certifies Customer Class in "Russell" Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned JACKIE FITZHENRY-RUSSELL, et al., the
Plaintiffs, v. DR. PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP, INC., et al., the
Defendants, Case No. 5:17-cv-00564-NC (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge
Nathanael M. Cousins entered an order:

   1. granting Plaintiffs' class certification motion, and
      certifying a class of:

      "all persons who, between December 28, 2012 and the
      present, purchased any Canada Dry Ginger Ale products in
      the state of California";

   2. appointing Fitzhenry-Russell and Margaryan as class
      representatives;

   3. appointing Gutride Safier LLP and the Margarian Law Firm as
      class counsel.

The Court said, "By July 6, 2018, the parties must jointly submit
a proposal for class notification, with the plan to distribute
notice by July 27, 2018. As for the motion to seal, Dr. Pepper
must refile the opposition to the motion for class certification
with only the approved redactions consistent with this order by
June 29, 2018. The Court realizes that it will only permit the
sealing of a limited amount of the information Givaudan in
particular seeks to retain under seal. However, the Court has not
revealed the measurements of any of the ingredients in Canada
Dry, nor information about the processing of the ginger allegedly
contained in Canada Dry. Thus, the motion to seal is denied as
both being not sufficiently narrowly tailored, and as not
satisfying the compelling reasons standard."

EIGHT SLEEP: Photoglou Sues over Unsolicited Text Message Calls
---------------------------------------------------------------
MARK PHOTOGLOU, individually and on behalf of a class of
similarly situated individuals, the Plaintiff, v. EIGHT SLEEP
INC., a Delaware corporation, the Defendant, Case No. 8:18-cv-
00944-DSF-MRW (C.D. Cal., May 31, 2018), seeks to stop
Defendant's practice of making unsolicited text message calls to
consumers' cellular telephones, and to obtain redress for all
persons injured by their conduct.

According to the complaint, while conducting its "smart mattress"
business, Eight Sleep engaged in an invasive and unlawful form of
communication: the transmission of unauthorized "text message"
calls to the cellular telephones of consumers throughout the
nation. In doing so, Eight Sleep captured the cellular telephone
numbers of consumers who called its company and, without consent
or warning, transmitted text messages to those numbers.

Eight Sleep is an American technology company based in New York
City that specializes in developing and manufacturing smart
mattresses using data, design, science, and technology.[BN]

FIREBIRDS OF OVERLAND: "Nelson" Suit Wins Class Certification
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned Josh Nelson, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, the Plaintiffs, v. Firebirds
of Overland Park, LLC; and Firebirds International, LLC, the
Defendants, Case No. 2:17-cv-02237-JWL-JPO (D. Kan.), the Hon.
Judge John W. Lungstrum entered an order:

   1. granting in part and denying in part Plaintiff's motion for
      conditional certification;

   2. denying Defendants' motion for partial summary judgment;
      and

   3. directing parties to meet and confer about the form and
      substance of notice and, if an agreement is reached, to
      submit the proposed notice to the court for approval no
      later than Monday, July 2, 2018. If the parties are unable
      to reach an agreement, then plaintiff shall file a motion
      no later than Monday, July 2, 2018 seeking approval of his
      proposed notice. Defendants shall then file their
      objections to plaintiff's proposed notice and submit an
      alternate proposed notice no later than Friday, July 13,
      2018.

The Court agrees with defendants that a resolution of defendants'
objections at this stage will promote efficiency in terms of
finalizing the ultimate notice and dissemination plan. Plaintiff
does not suggest that he anticipates difficulties contacting
putative class members such that email notification above and
beyond written notice mailed to the home addresses of putative
class members might be necessary. See Fenley v. Wood Group
Mustang, Inc., 170 F. Supp. 3d 1063, 1074 (S.D. Ohio 2016)
(general rule is that notice is typically sent by a single method
absent some showing that additional method will ensure receipt of
notice). Moreover, even if the court was inclined to authorize
email notification, defendants have represented to the court that
they do not maintain email addresses for current or former
employees. Thus, requiring defendants to produce email addresses
would cast an undue (if not impossible) burden on defendants. The
court also agrees with defendants that two reminders during the
notice period is excessive and could be interpreted as
encouragement by the court to join the litigation. See Landry v.
Swire Oilfield Servs., LLC, 252 F. Supp. 3d 1079, 1130 (D.N.M.
2017). Nonetheless, the court is inclined to conclude that one
reminder during the notice period aimed only that those putative
class members who have not responded to the notice serves the
Fair Labor Standards Act's broad remedial purpose.

FIRST NATIONAL CREDIT: Day Seeks to Certify Classes & Subclasses
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit entitled GREGORY DAY, individually and on behalf
of all others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. FIRST
NATIONAL CREDIT BUREAU, INC., a foreign for-profit corporation,

   2. appointing Plaintiff as the class representative and
      Plaintiff's counsel as class counsel.

      and the courts to which this case may be assigned. Also
      excluded from the Classes are the Judge, members of the

FLOWERS FOODS: Fails to Pay Delivery Employees' OT, Ludlow Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DANIEL LUDLOW, an individual, the Plaintiff, v. FLOWERS FOODS,
INC., a Georgia corporation; FLOWERS BAKERIES, LLC, a Georgia
limited liability company, the Defendants, Case No. 3:18-cv-
01190-JAH-BLM (S.D. Cal., June 6, 2018), seeks to recover
overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

According to the complaint, Flowers' Delivery Employees,
including Plaintiff, regularly worked (and continues to work)
between 55 and 70 hours per week and 6 to 7 days per week in
accord with Flowers' mandated schedule. Yet Flowers never paid
Plaintiff or any member of the FLSA Class any of the overtime pay
they had earned. Flowers knows that these workers are improperly
classified and that they work well over 40 hours per week, but
intentionally and willfully fails to provide overtime premium
pay.

The Plaintiff brings this action as collective action under the
FLSA on behalf of himself and all similarly situated individuals.

Flowers sells billions of dollars of baked goods to retailers
throughout the United States.[BN]

FRIEZE EVENTS: Art Galleries Sue over HVAC System Failure
---------------------------------------------------------
SHANE CAMPBELL GALLERY, INC. and JULIE N. CAMPBELL, on behalf of
themselves and all others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v.
FRIEZE EVENTS, INC., the Defendant, Case No. 1:18-cv-05134-RJS
(S.D.N.Y., June 8, 2018), alleges that Defendant breached a
contractual promise by failing to properly design, test and
regulate the ability of the air conditioning system at the Art
Fair to maintain an environment within which Exhibitors could
conduct commercial business.

This is a class action filed on behalf of hundreds of art
galleries and other persons who paid substantial sums to
participate in the 2018 Frieze Art Fair held on Randall's Island
in New York. The Defendant Frieze, in form written contracts,
promised each Exhibitor, among other things, to "use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide common area air conditioning."

According to the complaint, the Defendant has admitted it was
aware in advance of an impending heatwave with expected "record-
breaking temperatures" but was grossly negligent in preparing the
site for such heat and ensuring a reasonably efficient air
conditioning system. As a direct result of the oppressive heat,
art customers, collectors, consultants and their clients and
other attendees could not remain in the site and were forced to
leave. As such, the Exhibitors were prevented from engaging in
their commercial endeavors and suffered substantial financial
losses. This lawsuit seeks rescission of the contracts the
Exhibitors signed with Frieze, and reimbursement of all sums paid
for participation at the Art Fair.

Frieze is a media and events company that comprises three
publications, frieze, Frieze Masters Magazine and Frieze
Week.[BN]

FTS INTERNATIONAL: Court Denied Collective Action Certification
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit styled STEPHEN AGNEW, on behalf of himself and
others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. FTS INTERNATIONAL
SERVICES, LLC, the Defendant, Case No. 5:17-cv-00104-OLG (W.D.
Tex.), the Hon. Judge Orlando L. Garcia entered an order denying
Plaintiff's partially unopposed motion for conditional collective
action certification and notice to potential class members.

The Court said, "Defendant correctly observes, however, that the
waiver of the right to undertake a collective action by Plaintiff
and other employees does not contain any promise by Defendant.
Accordingly, Defendant's assertion that it is free to modify or
cancel that waiver does not render the waiver illusory, because
the waiver itself does not bind Defendant to any obligation, and
Defendant therefore does not escape any obligation by modifying
or canceling it. It is immaterial whether, as Plaintiff observes,
there might be circumstances in which Defendant would prefer to
litigate against employees on a collective rather than individual
basis. A party who finds it beneficial to release their
counterpart from a contractual obligation has not themselves
failed to perform a contractual obligation. And the fact that the
collective action waiver imposed an obligation upon Plaintiff but
not Defendant does not render it unenforceable for lack of
consideration. Defendant's policy of requiring employees to waive
their right to undertake collective actions was merely one
component of the employment agreement between the parties an
agreement that no party in this case contends was unenforceable
for lack of adequate consideration. Defendant's policy of
requiring employees to waive their right to undertake collective
actions was a term of Plaintiff's at-will employment,
which Plaintiff was deemed to accept by "continuing to show up
for the job and accept wages in return for work.

GERRARD EXCAVATING: Perez Seeks Overtime Wages under FLSA
---------------------------------------------------------
MICHAEL PEREZ, individually and on behalf of others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, v. GERRARD EXCAVATING, INC., the
Defendant, Case No. 1:18-cv-01429-MEH (D. Colo., June 8, 2018),
seeks to recover unpaid overtime wages, liquidated damages, and
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as a result of Defendant's
willful violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Colorado
Wage Act, and the Colorado Minimum Wage Order.

According to the complaint, the Defendant is "one of the largest
infrastructure/site development contractors in the northern
region" of Colorado providing site development, excavation, road
construction and pipeline services.

The Plaintiff and the putative FLSA collective and Rule 23 class
members were employed by Defendant as hourly-paid Heavy Equipment
Operators to perform work at various job sites. The Defendant
required the Heavy Equipment Operators, on a daily basis, to
perform pre-shift work-related activities, including, but not
limited to, checking and warming up the machine and equipment, so
it would be ready for use at the beginning of their shifts.

The Defendant and its management, however, prevented the Heavy
Equipment Operators from reporting time they spent on such pre-
shift work-related activities. The Defendant and its management
had knowledge that such pre-shift work-related activities were
performed by the Heavy Equipment Operators per workday. As a
result of Defendant's common unlawful policies, the Heavy
Equipment Operators were not properly compensated overtime at a
rate of not less than one and one-half (1.5) times their regular
rate of pay for all hours they worked in excess of 40 per
workweek, in violation of the FLSA, CWA and CMWO.[BN]

GOOGLE LLC: Violates Automatic Renewal Law, Uzair Says
------------------------------------------------------
ABDULLAH UZAIR, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. GOOGLE, LLC, a California
Limited Liability Company, the Defendant, Case No. 8CV328915
(Cal. Super. Ct., May 30, 2018), alleges that Google made, and
continues to make, automatic renewal or continuous service offers
to consumers in and throughout California, and charged, and
continues to charge, Plaintiff's and Class Members' credit or
debit cards, or third patty payment account, without first
obtaining Plaintiff's and Class Members' affirmative consent to
the agreement containing the automatic renewal offer terms or
continuous service offer terms in Violation of California
Business. Prof. Code, and the Automatic Renewal Law.

Moreover, Google, at the time of making the automatic renewal or
continuous service offer, failed to present the automatic renewal
offer terms or continuous service offer terms in a clear and
conspicuous manner and in visual proximity to the request for
consent to the offer before the subscription or purchasing
agreement was fulfilled. Google also failed to provide an
acknowledgment that includes the automatic renewal or continuous
service offer terms, cancellation policy, and information
regarding how to cancel in a manner that is capable of being
retained by the consumer. As a result, all goods, wares,
merchandise, or products sent to Plaintiff and Class Members
under the automatic renewal 0r continuous service agreement are
deemed to be unconditional gifts pursuant to Cal. Bus. Prof. Code
section 17603. Moreover, Class Members complained to Google that
they did not know their subscriptions would be automatically
renewed, yet Google did nothing to correct those business
practices.

Google is an American multinational technology company that
specializes in Internet-related services and products, which
include online advertising technologies, search engine, cloud
computing, software, and hardware.[BN]

According to the complaint, the Defendants require Plaintiffs and
all other similarly situated employees to absorb the Defendants'
business expenses, including, without limitation, the purchase of
Uniform Shirts, Uniform Aprons, other tools of the trade, paying
for walk offs and ordering errors, resulted in minimum wage and
overtime violations as it constituted an unlawful kick and
violated the free and clear requirements of the FLSA in the weeks
those expenses were incurred and a violation of the tip credit
requirements.

time. The Defendants did not pay the employees the required
minimum wage for time spent studying and taking the menu tests.

HADLEY COLLISION: Fails to Pay All Overtime Wages, Sandoval Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
DAVID SANDOVAL, an individual and on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. HADLEY COLLISION
CENTER INC., a California Corporation; COURTESY TRANSPORT &
TOWING, INC., a California Corporation; and DOES 1 through 100,
the Defendant, Case No. BC707883 (Cal. Super. Ct., May 29, 2018),
seeks to recover all unpaid overtime wages under the California
Labor Code.

According to the complaint, the Defendants own and operate
various towing and collision facilities throughout California.
The Plaintiff works for Defendants as a driver out of Defendants'
Whittier, California location.

During his employment, Plaintiff was required to clock in and out
for periods of work, and although Defendants recorded Plaintiffs
hours worked to the minute, Defendants only paid Plaintiff in
quarter of an hour increments. Defendants' rounding of time to
the quarter of an hour was not even-handed, and has resulted in
Plaintiff and putative class members not being compensated for
all hours worked, including all minimum and overtime.[BN]

IMPRESS COMMUNICATIONS: Fails to Pay Minimum Wages, Marquez Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
FRANK MARQUEZ, individually, and on behalf of other members of
the general public similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. IMPRESS
COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a California corporation; and DOES 1
through 100, inclusive, the Defendant, Case No. BC707689 (Cal.
Super. Ct., May 30, 2018), seeks unpaid overtime, unpaid meal
period premiums, unpaid rest period premiums, and unpaid minimum
wages under the California Labor Code.

The Plaintiff alleges that Defendants engaged in a pattern and
practice of wage abuse against their hourly-paid or non-exempt
employees within the State of California. This pattern and
practice involved, inter alia, failing to pay them for all
regular and/or overtime wages earned and for missed meal periods
and rest breaks in violation of California law.

INCOME PROPERTY: Lusk Sues over Use of Biometric Identifiers
------------------------------------------------------------
ALTHEA LUSK, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, v. INCOME PROPERTY INVESTMENTS, INC.,
THE BLACKSTONE GROUP, L.P., and ELK GROVE VILLAGE HOTEL, LLC
d/b/a MOTEL 6 ELK GROVE VILLAGE, the Defendants, Case No. 018-CH-
07273 (Ill. Cir. Ct., Cook Cty. June 8, 2018), seeks to redress
and curtail the Defendants' unlawful collection, use, storage,
and disclosure of Plaintiffs sensitive biometric identifiers and
information, pursuant to the Biometric Information Privacy Act.

While most employers use conventional methods for tracking time
worked (such as ID badge swipes or punch clocks), Motel 6
employees are required, as a condition of employment, to have
their fingerprints scanned by a biometric timekeeping device.

Unlike ID badges or time cards -- which can be changed or
replaced if stolen or compromised -- fingerprints are unique,
permanent biometric identifiers associated with each employee.
This exposes Motel 6 employees to serious and irreversible
privacy risks. For example, if a database containing fingerprints
or other sensitive, proprietary biometric data is hacked,
breached, or otherwise exposed -- like in the recent Yahoo, eBay,
Equifax, Uber, Home Depot, MyFitnessPal, Panera, Whole Foods,
Chipotle, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Trump Hotels, and
Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data breaches -- employees have no
means by which to prevent identity theft, unauthorized tracking
or other unlawful or improper use of this highly personal and
private information.[BN]

INKAHOLIK TATTOOS: Rodriguez Sues over Spam Text Messages
---------------------------------------------------------
DARIEN RODRIGUEZ, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. INKAHOLIK TATTOOS, INC.,
a Florida Limited Liability Company, the Defendant, Case No.
1:18-cv-22274-CMA (S.D. Fla., June 7, 2018), seeks injunctive
relief to halt Defendant's illegal conduct, which has resulted in
the invasion of privacy, harassment, aggravation, and disruption
of the daily life of thousands of individuals, and statutory
damages on behalf of himself and members of the class, and any
other available legal or equitable remedies, pursuant to the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

According to the complaint, the Defendant operates multiple
tattoo parlors throughout Miami-Dade County. To promote its
services, Defendant engages in unsolicited marketing, harming
thousands of consumers in the process.

On or about December 23, 2017, January 7, 2018 and January 13,
2018, Defendant sent telemarketing text messages to Plaintiff's
cellular telephone number ending in 0303. Defendant's text
messages were transmitted to Plaintiff's cellular telephone, and
within the time frame relevant to this action.

Defendant's text messages constitute telemarketing because they
encouraged the future purchase or investment in property, goods,
or services, i.e., selling Plaintiff an automobile. The
information contained in the text message advertises Defendant's
"FREE PIERCINGS," which Defendant sends to promote its business.
The Plaintiff received the subject texts within this judicial
district and, therefore, Defendant's violation of the TCPA
occurred within this district.[BN]

INTEL CORP: Alliance Sues Over Processor Defect
-----------------------------------------------
Alliance Healthcare System, Inc., on behalf of itself and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Intel Corporation,
Defendant, Case No. 18-cv-00740, (D. Or., April 27, 2018), seeks
all proper measures of monetary relief and damages, plus
interest, equitable, injunctive and declaratory relief including
restitution and disgorgement, costs of suit, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses and such further relief resulting
from negligence, unjust enrichment, breach of implied warranty

Intel manufactures the central processing units (CPU) that power
most servers, laptops, desktop computers, tablets, smartphones,

defects that allow hackers to access to what was supposed to be
secure data. Says the Plaintiff. These defects cannot be fixed
remotely via a software update while any mitigation efforts would
seriously affect CPU performance.

Alliance Healthcare System, Inc. is a for-profit health care
provider doing business in Holly Springs, Mississippi and
incorporated under Delaware law. It purchased servers, personal
computers and other devices with Intel CPUs with security
defects. [BN]

OLIPHANT FINANCIAL CORPORATION and DOES 1-10, the Defendant, Case
No. 4:18-cv-00889 (E.D. Mo., June 7, 2018), alleges that

According to the complaint, the Plaintiff had a cell phone number
ending in 7032. The Plaintiff never gave her cell number to any

she verbally provide her phone number to or consent to any calls
on her cell number by Defendants. The debt that Defendants were
attempting to collect, by calling Plaintiff, was not Plaintiffs

TRANSPORT NORTH AMERICA INC.; RAILROAD CONTROLS L.P.; RICHARD
BOWIE; and DOES 1-20, the Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-01667-CCB
(D. Md., June 6, 2018), alleges a series of unlawful agreements
between three of the world's largest rail equipment suppliers to
restrain competition in the labor markets in which they compete
for employees, thus violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

Rather than compete to attract the best employees by offering
higher salaries and attractive benefits, the Defendants allegedly
conspired to thwart competition for employees and suppress wages
and employment opportunities.

Knorr-Bremse is a manufacturer of braking systems for rail and
commercial vehicles that has operated in the field for over 110
years. New York Air Brake has been serving the rail industry

KNORR-BREMSE AG: Lienemann Sues over Hiring Practices
-----------------------------------------------------
DANIEL LIENEMANN, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. KNORR-BREMSE AG; KNORR
BRAKE COMPANY LLC; NEW YORK AIR BRAKE LLC; WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE
TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION; AND FAIVELEY TRANSPORT NORTH AMERICA,
INC., the Defendants, Case No. 2:18-cv-00704-CRE (W.D. Pa., May
29, 2018), alleges that Defendants violates Section 1 of the
Sherman Act, relating to a series of unlawful agreements between
the world's largest rail equipment suppliers to restrain
competition in the labor markets in which they compete for
employees.

According to the complaint, the Defendants, and their respective
subsidiaries, are each other's top competitors for rail equipment
used in freight and passenger rail applications. They also
compete with each other to attract, hire, and retain various
skilled employees, including rail industry project managers,
engineers, sales executives, business unit heads, and corporate
officers.

Prior to its acquisition by Wabtec in November 2016, Faiveley
also competed with Knorr, and Wabtec and their subsidiaries to
attract, hire, and retain employees. The unlawful agreements
between Knorr, Wabtec, and Faiveley included promises and
commitments not to solicit, recruit, hire without prior approval,
or otherwise compete for employees (collectively, "no-poach
agreements"). The no-poach agreements were not reasonably
necessary to any separate, legitimate business transaction or
collaboration between the companies. They spanned several years
and were monitored and enforced by high-level company executives,
and had the effect of unlawfully allocating employees between the
companies, resulting in harm to U.S. workers and consumers.[BN]

paid to her.[BN]

LTD FINANCIAL: Placeholder Bid for Class Certification Filed
------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit styled MARY HEPFNER, Individually and on Behalf of
All Others Similarly Situated, the Plaintiffs, v. LTD FINANCIAL
SERVICES LP, the Defendant, Case No. 2:18-cv-00971-PP (E.D.
Wisc.), the Plaintiff asks the Court for an order certifying
proposed classes in this case, appointing the Plaintiff as class
representatives, and appointing Ademi & O'Reilly, LLP as Class
Counsel, and for such other and further relief as the Court may
deem appropriate.

The Plaintiff further asks the Court stay this class
certification motion until an amended motion for class
certification is filed, and that the Court grant the parties
relief from the local rules' automatic briefing schedule and
requirement that Plaintiff file a brief and supporting documents
in support of this motion.

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."). While the
Seventh Circuit has held that the specific procedure described in
Campbell-Ewald cannot force the individual settlement of a class
representative's claims, the same decision cautions that other
methods may prevent a plaintiff from representing a class. Fulton
Dental, LLC v. Bisco, Inc., 860 F.3d 541, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2017).

GROUP, LLP, a California limited liability partnership; and DOES
1 through 10, inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. BC709242 (Cal.

Plaintiffs' work hours and imposed strict deadlines requiring
Plaintiffs, and each of them, to incur substantial overtime;
required Plaintiffs, and each of them, to adhere to a "uniform
work schedule" which required them to work more than eight hours
each day and more than 40 hours each work week; and failed to pay

MANNING'S BEEF: Fails to Pay Overtime & Minimum Wage, Garcia Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SANTIAGO GARCIA, as an individual and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. MANNING'S BEEF, LLC, a
California limited liability company; and DOES 1 through 100,
Case No. BC707884 (Cal. Super. Ct., May 29, 2018), seeks to
recover overtime and minimum Wage under the California Labor
Code.

The Plaintiff alleges that during the four years preceding the
filing of the Complaint and continuing to the present, the
Defendants did (and continue to do) business slaughtering and
packaging beef products. The Plaintiff was required to clock in
and out for periods of work, and although Defendants recorded
Plaintiffs hours worked to the minute, Defendants only paid
Plaintiff in quarter of an hour increments. Defendants' rounding
of time to the quarter of an hour was not even-handed, and has
resulted in Plaintiff and putative class members not being
compensated for all hours worked.

Manning's Beef, LLC was founded in 1920. The Company's line of
business includes operating meat packing plants and slaughter
houses.[BN]

MARK GOBER: Court Denies Motion for Class Certification
-------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned PAUL DARROUGH, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, PLAINTIFF, v. MARK GOBER,
individually and in his official capacity; and JOHN DOES 1-10,
the DEFENDANTS, Case No. 4:18-cv-00113-JLH (E.D. Ark.), the Hon.
Judge J. Leon Holmes entered an order denying a motion for class
certification.

The Court said, "In response to the motion for class
certification, Gober has submitted the uncontested affidavit of
Susan Potts, along with records of Darrough's arrest and first
appearance. Pursuant to a bench warrant, Darrough was arrested on
May 10, 2017, at 12:30 p.m. He appeared before a judge for his
first appearance on May 12, 2017. Thus, he was provided a timely
first appearance. Based upon the facts in the Potts' affidavit,
Darrough is not a member of the class that he seeks to represent
and his claims are, therefore, not typical of the class. In Re
Milk Products Litigation, 195 F.3d 430, 436 (8th Cir. 1998). Nor
can he adequately represent the class. The motion for class
certification is therefore denied."

MDL 2724: 1199SEIU et al. Sue Pharma Cos. over Drug Price Fixing
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit Re: Generic Pharmaceuticals
Pricing Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 2:18-cv-02401-CMR (E.D.
Pa, June 7, 2018), several entities seek to secure injunctive
relief and recoup overcharges that resulted from an unlawful
agreement among Defendants to allocate customers, rig bids, and
fix, raise, and/or stabilize the prices of, these generic
pharmaceutical drugs:

     * Acetazolamidel,
     * Doxycycline Hyclate,
     * Doxycycline Monohydrate,
     * Fosinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide,
     * Glipizide-Metformin,
     * Glyburide,
     * Glyburide-Metformin,
     * Leflunomide,
     * Meprobamate,
     * Nimodipine,
     * Nystatin,
     * Paromomycin,
     * Theophylline,
     * Verapamil and
     * Zoledronic Acid.

According to the complaint, the Defendants participated in an
overarching conspiracy, the purpose of which was to raise prices
and minimize competition in the generic drug industry for
numerous generic drugs. This overarching conspiracy encompassed
an agreement among all Defendants that covered all Drugs at
Issue, and included subsidiary agreements among certain
Defendants relating to individual Drugs at Issue.

Defendants' conspiratorial conduct was widespread and has had a
tremendous impact on the marketplace. In addition to the Drugs at
Issue identified in this overarching conspiracy complaint,
numerous lawsuits alleging conspiratorial conduct relating to 16
other drugs and involving all of these Defendants (and additional
defendants) are currently pending. In a competitive marketplace,
each generic drug manufacturer should price its drug
competitively relative to other manufacturers. Accordingly, if
any one company decided to raise prices, it would do so at the
risk of losing customers and sales to its rivals with more
competitive prices. But, beginning at least as early as 2011, the
generic pharmaceutical market has not been characterized by such
competition. The Defendants engaged in pervasive conspiratorial
conduct designed to maintain inflated prices and avoid
competition with one another.

Throughout the conspiracy, Defendants communicated with each
other to determine and agree on the amount of market share each
competitor would be allocated. These shares were determined by
the timing of each Defendant's entry into the market (with early
entrants entitled to a proportionately larger share than later
entrants). The purpose of Defendants' unlawful "fair share"
allocation was to fix, maintain and stabilize prices -- either
for a particular generic drug or any number of generic drugs. In
this way, each entrant would benefit from coordination as a
whole, even if a manufacturer did not seek a market allocation
for a particular drug. The Defendants implemented the "fair
share" agreement by refusing to bid for a particular customer or
by providing a pretextual bid that they knew would not be
successful.

The case is captioned as 1199SEIU NATIONAL BENEFIT FUND; 1199SEIU

MDL 2843: "Malskoff" Suit vs FB, Cambridge Moved to N.D. Cal.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit titled JAY MALSKOFF and KENNETH IRVINE,
individually and on behalf of all others, the Plaintiffs, v.
FACEBOOK INC., CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA, CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA(UK) LTD.,
CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA LLC, ROBERT MERCER, and ALEKSANDR KOGAN, the
Defendants, Case No. 2:18-cv-04451, was transferred from the
the U.S. District Court for District of New Jersey, to the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of California (San
Francisco) on June 8, 2018. The Northern District Court Clerk
assigned Case No. 3:18-cv-03393-VC to the proceeding. The case is
assigned to the Hon. Judge Vince Chhabria.

The Malskoff case is being consolidated with MDL 2843 in re:
Facebook, Inc., Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation. The MDL
was created by Order of the United States Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation on June 6, 2018. In its June 6, 2018
Order, the MDL Panel found that centralization under Section 1407
will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and
promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation. All
responding parties agree that the actions share factual issues
arising out of allegations that Cambridge Analytica and other
defendants exploited Facebook's platform to obtain user data, and
that Facebook should have imposed more robust controls on the use
of data by third party applications to prevent this conduct.
Centralization will eliminate duplicative discovery. The lead
case is 3:18-md-02843-VC.

Facebook is an American online social media and social networking
service company based in Menlo Park, California.[BN]

MELANIE HYER: Pickens Sues over Telemarketing Text Messages
-----------------------------------------------------------
ANDREW PICKENS, individually and on behalf of all others

REALTY, LLC d/b/a KELLER WILLIAMS MIAMI BEACH REALTY, the
Defendant, Case No. 1:18-cv-22282-UU (S.D. Fla., June 8, 2018),
seeks injunctive relief to halt the Defendants' illegal conduct
which has resulted in the invasion of privacy, harassment,
aggravation, and disruption of the daily life of thousands of
individuals, and also seeks statutory damages on behalf of

or equitable remedies, pursuant to the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act.

According to the complaint, the Defendants' text messages were
transmitted to Plaintiff's cellular telephone, and within the
time frame relevant to this action.  The Defendants' text
messages constitute telemarketing because they encouraged the
future purchase or investment in property, goods, or services,
i.e., Defendants' real estate services.  The number (305-396-
8676) that transmitted the text messages is operated by or on
behalf of Defendants. The link (www.ProbateAndEstateRealty.com)
contained in the text messages is a link to Defendants' website

MIDTOWN COMICS: Website not Accessible to Blind, Tucker Says
------------------------------------------------------------
HENRY TUCKER, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiffs, v. MIDTOWN COMICS, INC., the Defendant,
Case No. 1:18-cv-05124 (S.D.N.Y., June 8, 2018), alleges that the
Defendant failed to design, construct, maintain, and operate its
website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by
Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired people.

The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its website,
and therefore denial of its goods and services offered thereby
and in conjunction with its physical locations, is a violation of
Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Plaintiff is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who
requires screen-reading software to read website content using
his computer. The Plaintiff uses the terms "blind" or "visually-
impaired" to refer to all people with visual impairments who meet
the legal definition of blindness in that they have a visual
acuity with correction of less than or equal to 20 x 200. Some
blind people who meet this definition have limited vision. Others
have no vision.

Based on a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report, approximately 8.1
million people in the United States are visually impaired,
including 2.0 million who are blind, and according to the
American Foundation for the Blind's 2015 report, approximately
400,000 visually impaired persons live in the State of New York.

MIDWEST RECEIVABLE: Placeholder Bid for Class Certification Filed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned MARYANN OLSZEWSKI, Individually and on
Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff, v.
MIDWEST RECEIVABLE SOLUTIONS LLC, the Defendant, Case No. 2:18-
cv-00968-DEJ (E.D. Wisc.), the Plaintiff asks the Court for an
order certifying proposed classes in this case, appointing the
Plaintiff as class representatives, and appointing Ademi &
O'Reilly, LLP as Class Counsel, and for such other and further
relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

The Plaintiff further asks the Court stay this class
certification motion until an amended motion for class
certification is filed, and that the Court grant the parties
relief from the local rules' automatic briefing schedule and
requirement that Plaintiff file a brief and supporting documents
in support of this motion.

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."). While the
Seventh Circuit has held that the specific procedure described in
Campbell-Ewald cannot force the individual settlement of a class
representative's claims, the same decision cautions that other
methods may prevent a plaintiff from representing a class. Fulton
Dental, LLC v. Bisco, Inc., 860 F.3d 541, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2017).

MONAT GLOBAL: "Alabaster" Suit Moved to Southern Dist. of Florida
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit titled AMBER ALABASTER, on Behalf of
Herself and all others Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff, v.
MONAT GLOBAL CORP., the Defendant, Case No. 5:18-cv-00224, was
removed from the U.S. District Court for the District of Western
Oklahoma, to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Florida on June 7, 2018. The Southern District Court Clerk
assigned Case No. 1:18-cv-22273 to the proceeding.

This class action is brought by Plaintiff, on behalf of herself
and all other similarly situated persons, against Defendant.
Unlike many beauty products sold through big box stores and
salons, MONAT Hair Care Products are sold through a multi-level
marketing scheme in which the company actively recruits
purchasers to become "Market Partners." Market Partners are
utilized to market and sell MONAT Hair Care Products through
social media and other marketing channels to consumers. MONAT
provides a sales platform for its Market Partner agents and
micro-websites hosted on the MONAT website where customers can
place orders for MONAT Hair Care Products and credit the Market
Partner. If these Market Partners recruit additional Market
Partners they share in the "down-line" profits generated by their
recruits. In this way, MONAT functions in a manner many would
think of as a pyramid scheme.

MONAT Global is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcora Corp., whose
holdings include L'EUDINE Global, an established Direct Selling
company.[BN]

MONSANTO COMPANY: Bradleys Sue over Sale of Herbicide Roundup
-------------------------------------------------------------
CARL and BETTY BRADLEY, the Plaintiffs, v. MONSANTO COMPANY, the
Defendant, Case No. 3:18-cv-03183-VC (E.D. Mo., May 29, 2018),
seeks to recover damages suffered by Plaintiffs as a direct and
proximate result of Defendant's negligent and wrongful conduct in
connection with the design, development, manufacture, testing,
packaging, promoting, marketing, advertising, distribution,
labeling, and/or sale of the herbicide Roundup (TM), containing
the active ingredient glyphosate.

The Plaintiffs allege that Roundup (TM) and/or glyphosate is
defective, dangerous to human health, unfit and unsuitable to be
marketed and sold in commerce, and lacked proper warnings and
directions as to the dangers associated with its use. The
Plaintiffs' injuries, like those striking thousands of similarly
situated victims across the country, were avoidable.

"Roundup" refers to all formulations of Defendant Roundup
products, including, but not limited to, Roundup Concentrate
Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer 1, Roundup Custom
Herbicide, Roundup D-Pak herbicide, Roundup Dry Concentrate,
Roundup Export Herbicide, Roundup Fence & Hard Edger 1, Roundup
Garden Foam Weed & Grass Killer, Roundup Grass and Weed Killer,

MONSANTO COMPANY: Torreses Sue over Sale of Herbicide Roundup
-------------------------------------------------------------
GILBERT and BELINOLA TORRES, the Plaintiffs, v. MONSANTO COMPANY,
the Defendant, Case No. 3:18-cv-03182-VC (E.D. Mo., May 29,
2018), seeks to recover damages suffered by Plaintiffs as a
direct and proximate result of Defendant's negligent and wrongful
conduct in connection with the design, development, manufacture,
testing, packaging, promoting, marketing, advertising,
distribution, labeling, and/or sale of the herbicide Roundup
(TM), containing the active ingredient glyphosate.

The Plaintiffs allege that Roundup (TM) and/or glyphosate is
defective, dangerous to human health, unfit and unsuitable to be
marketed and sold in commerce, and lacked proper warnings and
directions as to the dangers associated with its use. The
Plaintiffs' injuries, like those striking thousands of similarly
situated victims across the country, were avoidable.

"Roundup" refers to all formulations of Defendant Roundup
products, including, but not limited to, Roundup Concentrate
Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer 1, Roundup Custom
Herbicide, Roundup D-Pak herbicide, Roundup Dry Concentrate,
Roundup Export Herbicide, Roundup Fence & Hard Edger 1, Roundup
Garden Foam Weed & Grass Killer, Roundup Grass and Weed Killer,
and Roundup Herbicide.

Monsanto Company is an agrochemical and agricultural
biotechnology corporation wholly owned by Bayer. It is
headquartered in Creve Coeur, Greater St. Louis, Missouri.[BN]

NATIONWIDE CREDIT: Placeholder Bid for Class Certification Filed
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit entitled CYNTHIA GROSS, Individually and on Behalf
of All Others Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff, v. NATIONWIDE
CREDIT & COLLECTION INC., the Defendant, Case No. 2:18-cv-00970-
NJ (E.D. Wisc.), the Plaintiff asks the Court for an order
certifying proposed classes in this case, appointing the
Plaintiff as class representatives, and appointing Ademi &
O'Reilly, LLP as Class Counsel, and for such other and further
relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

The Plaintiff further asks the Court stay this class
certification motion until an amended motion for class
certification is filed, and that the Court grant the parties
relief from the local rules' automatic briefing schedule and
requirement that Plaintiff file a brief and supporting documents
in support of this motion.

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."). While the
Seventh Circuit has held that the specific procedure described in
Campbell-Ewald cannot force the individual settlement of a class
representative's claims, the same decision cautions that other
methods may prevent a plaintiff from representing a class. Fulton
Dental, LLC v. Bisco, Inc., 860 F.3d 541, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2017).

NEMERA BUFFALO: Bryski Sues over Use of Sensitive Biometric Data
----------------------------------------------------------------
JAMES BRYSKI, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, v. NEMERA BUFFALO GROVE LLC and ADP LLC,
the Defendant, Case No. 2018-CH-07264 (Ill. Cir. Ct., June 8,
2018), seeks to redress and curtail Defendants' unlawful
collection, use, storage, and disclosure of Plaintiff's sensitive
biometric data, pursuant to the Biometric Information Privacy
Act.

Nemera is an organization engaged in manufacturing, importing,
and exporting drug delivery devices. When Nemera hires an
employee, he or she is enrolled in its ADP employee database.
Defendants use the employee database to monitor the time worked
by Nemera's hourly employees.

While many employers use conventional methods for tracking time
worked (such as ID badge swipes or punch clocks), Nernera's
employees are required to have their fingerprints scanned by a
biometric timekeeping device. Biometrics are not relegated to
esoteric comers of commerce. Many businesses -- such as
Defendants -- and financial institutions have incorporated
biometric applications into their workplace in the form of
biometric timeclocks, and into consumer products, including such
ubiquitous consumer products as checking accounts and cell
phones. Unlike ID badges or time cards -- which can be changed or
replaced if stolen or compromised -- fingerprints are unique,
permanent biometric identifiers associated with each employee.
This exposes Nemera's employees to serious and irreversible
privacy risks. For example, if a database containing fingerprints
or other sensitive, proprietary biometric data is hacked,
breached, or otherwise exposed -- like in the recent Yahoo, Ebay,
Equifax, Uber, Horne Depot, MyFitnessPal, Panera, Whole Foods,
Chiptle, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Trump Hotels, and
Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data breaches -- employees have no
means by which to prevent identity theft, unauthorized tracking
or other unlawful or improper use of this highly personal and
private information.[BN]

hours worked.[BN]

NISSAN NORTH AMERICA: Madrid and Miranda Sue over Vehicle Defect
----------------------------------------------------------------
SALOME MADRID and TERESE MIRANDA, on behalf of themselves and all
others similarly situated, the Plaintiffs, v. NISSAN NORTH
AMERICA, INC. and NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY, LTD., the Defendants,
Case No. 3:18-cv-00534 (M.D. Tenn., June 8, 2018), alleges that
Nissan marketed and sold Class Vehicles without disclosing the
material fact that the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
with which the Class Vehicles come equipped has a propensity to
fail prematurely and without warning, which poses an unreasonable
safety hazard to consumers and the general public (CVT Defect).

The Plaintiffs bring this action for themselves and on behalf of
all persons in the United States who purchased or leased any
2013-2016 Nissan Altima (Class Vehicles) designed, manufactured,
marketed, distributed, sold, warranted, and/or serviced by Nissan
North America, Inc. and Nissan Motor Company, Ltd.

According to the complaint, consumers have complained
consistently since 2012 that the CVT Defect manifests without
warning, including catastrophic failure, which present an extreme
and unreasonable safety hazard to both vehicle occupants and
pedestrians. Owners and lessees have reported a significant delay
in their Class Vehicles' response when attempting to accelerate
from a stop or accelerate to merge into high-speed traffic.
Complaints of the engine revving as the driver depresses the gas
pedal typically accompany this failure to accelerate immediately.
Other associated complaints include the gears' failing to engage,
despite the CVT's continuous shifting through the gear ration,
and stalling, jerking, lurching, and/or shaking. Some complaints
describe a sudden loss of power, such that the rate of speed
drops, the vehicle stalls, or the gears abruptly engage and the
vehicle surges forward.

Nissan North America, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and
markets Nissan and Infiniti vehicles in the United States,
Canada, and Mexico. It offers various cars, such as sedans,
electric cars, sports cars, crossovers and SUVs, minivans and
vans, trucks and commercial vehicles, and various
accessories.[BN]

In the lawsuit styled DENNIS R. SERAMUR d/b/a DENNIS & SONS
BUILDERS, individually and as the representative of a class of
similarly-situated persons, the Plaintiff, v. PARADIGM LIAISON
SERVICES, LLC and THE PARADIGM ALLIANCE, INC., the Defendants,
Case No. 2:18-cv-00244-JVB-JEM (N.D. Ind.), the Plaintiff asks
the Court for an order:

   1. certifying Plaintiff's "Damasco" motion for class
      certification of;

      "all persons who (1) on or after four years prior to the
      filing of this action, (2) were sent telephone facsimile
      messages of material advertising the commercial
      availability or quality of any property, goods, or services
      by or on behalf of Defendants, (3) from whom Defendants did
      not obtain "prior express invitation or permission" to send
      fax advertisements, or (4) with whom Defendants did not
      have an established business relationship, and/or (5) where
      the fax advertisements did not include an opt-out notice
      compliant with 47 C.F.R. section 64.1200(a)(4)(iii)";

   2. appointing Plaintiff as the class representative; and

   3. appointing Plaintiff's attorneys as class counsel.

The Plaintiff submits his Motion for Class Certification pursuant
to Damasco v. Clearwire Corp., 662 F.3d 891, 896 (7th Cir. 2011)
(holding plaintiffs "can move to certify the class at the same
time that they file their complaint" and "[t]he pendency of that
motion protects a putative class from attempts to buy off the
named plaintiffs"), overruled in part by Chapman v. First Index,
Inc., 796 F.3d 783, 787 (7th Cir. 2015) (overruling Damasco "to
the extent [it] hold[s] that a defendant's offer of full
compensation moots the litigation or otherwise ends the Article
III case or controversy" but not commenting on effect of a
"placeholder" motion if plaintiff's individual claim becomes moot
for some other reason); Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, 136 S. Ct.
663, 672 (Jan. 20, 2016) (holding "an unaccepted settlement offer
or offer of judgment does not moot a plaintiff's case," and "a
would-be class representative with a live claim of her own must
be accorded a fair opportunity to show that certification is
warranted").

PERSONNEL STAFFING: Matthews et al. Allege Gender Discrimination
----------------------------------------------------------------
QUIANA MATTHEWS, KEEONA PERSON and MICHELLE GONGORA, on behalf of

Plaintiffs, v. PERSONNEL STAFFING GROUP, LLC d/b/a MVP, the
Defendant, Defendant, Case No. 1:18-cv-03720 (N.D. Ill., May 29,
2018), alleges that Defendant discriminated female laborers in
connection with MVP's practices of making assignments at the
company's dispatch office in Illinois to work at its various
client companies.

MVP is a temporary staffing agency that contracts with its client
companies to provide temporary laborers to work at those client
companies for a fee. Since at least September 2014, Plaintiff
Matthews sought work assignments from MVP at MVP's Elmwood Park
office to MVP's client companies but on one or more occasions was
not assigned to a client company because of her gender. Since at

PNC BANK: Paolinos Sue over Debt Collection Practices
-----------------------------------------------------
ROSE MARY PAOLINO and JEFFREY PAOLINO, on behalf of themselves
and all others similarly situated, the Plaintiffs, v. PNC BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, and JAMES E. ALERTELLI P.A., d/b/a ALAW,
the Defendants, Case No. 0:18-cv-61266-FAM (S.D. Fla., June 6,
2018), seeks to recover damages under Florida Consumer Collection
Practices Act and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.

The Plaintiffs and Class Members are Florida homeowners whose
loans have been in default. PNC is the servicer and collector of
Plaintiffs' and Class Members' mortgage loan debts. Albertelli
Law acts as PNC's agent and representative in collecting mortgage
loan debts PNC has serviced.

The Defendants have each routinely and systematically mailed
reinstatement quotes under the letterhead of Albertelli Law that
list the total amounts homeowners, including Plaintiffs and Class
Members, must pay to reinstate their loans.

These reinstatement amounts have routinely included "estimated"
fees PNC and Albertelli Law each expects to incur but has not
actually incurred, ranging from estimated attorney's fees to a
"Co. Clerk LP Release Estimate", to estimated wire charges. But
"estimated" fees and Defendants' conduct regarding them are
unlawful. [BN]

Plaintiffs, v. TRANSGLOBAL SERVICES, LLC, JOHN RATLIFF, and

   1. granting Plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification;

   2. directing Defendants, within fourteen days of this Order,
      to provide Plaintiffs' Counsel with the names, last known
      addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers of the
      potential opt-in plaintiffs, in a usable electronic format.
      Telephone numbers shall be used only to verify addresses or

   3. permitting Plaintiffs' Counsel, upon obtaining the Court-
      Ordered Information, to send notices of this action in the

      mail and email, for a period of 60 days from the date

U.S. BANK: Court Declines to Grant Conditional Certification
------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned JORDAN MOSEMAN, the Plaintiff, v. U.S.
BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, the Defendant, Case No. 3:17-cv-00481-
FDW-DCK (W.D.N.C.), the Hon. Frank Whitney entered an order
granting in part and denying in part Plaintiff's motion for
conditional certification and judicial notice under 29 U.S.C.
section 216(b).

The Court approves Plaintiff's issuance of a notice consistent
with its Order and sets August 24, 2018, as the deadline for
opting into this action.  The Court, in the exercise of its
discretion, concludes that approval of a notice to both proposed
collectives when limited to individuals who worked for Defendant
at the Charlotte office is appropriate on this record. As to both
classes, Plaintiff has plead, attested to facts.

The Court declines to grant Plaintiff's request to "conditionally
certify" the collective action. Conditional certification of a
collection action is not required by the FSLA, the Supreme Court,
or the Fourth Circuit. Cf. Mickles, 887 F.3d at 1278 (holding
that conditional certification is not required to become a party
plaintiff in light of the plain language of section 216(b) and
the Supreme Court's holdings).

The Plaintiff is seeking certification of two FLSA collective
classes:

   "all individuals who worked for U.S. Bank through staffing
   agencies as hourly-paid AML/BSA Preliminary Investigators, or
   any equivalent position, at any location in the United States
   during the period from three years prior to the entry of the
   conditional certification order to the present"; and

   "all individuals who worked for U.S. Bank as AML/BSA
   Investigators, or any equivalent position, and were classified
   as exempt employees at any location in the United States
   during the period from three years prior to the entry of the
   conditional certification order to the present."

The Court also declines to grant Plaintiff's request to send
additional notices or duplicative notices by email. Given the
timing of the Notice, the Court believes repetitive unsolicited
contact with potential party plaintiffs after the initial Notice
by First Class Mail may create the appearance of undue Court
involvement in the solicitation of claims.

                        Asbestos Litigation


ASBESTOS UPDATE: Kaanapali Land Still Defends Suits at Dec. 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kaanapali Land, LLC, continues to defend itself against personal
injury suits related to asbestos exposure, according to the
Company's Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company states, "Kaanapali Land, as successor by merger to
other entities, and D/C Distribution Corporation ("D/C"), a
subsidiary of Kaanapali Land, have been named as defendants in
personal injury actions allegedly based on exposure to asbestos.
While there are relatively few cases that name Kaanapali Land,
there were a substantial number of cases that were pending
against D/C on the U.S. mainland (primarily in California).

"Cases against Kaanapali Land (hereafter, "Kaanapali Land
asbestos cases") are allegedly based on its prior business
operations in Hawaii and cases against D/C are allegedly based on
the sale of asbestos-containing products by D/C's prior
distribution business operations primarily in California.  Each
entity defending these cases believes that it has meritorious
defenses against these actions, but can give no assurances as to
the ultimate outcome of these cases.  The defense of these cases
has had a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
D/C as it has been forced to file a voluntary petition for
liquidation.

"Kaanapali Land does not believe that it has liability, directly
or indirectly, for D/C's obligations in those cases.  Kaanapali
Land does not presently believe that the cases in which it is
named will result in any material liability to Kaanapali Land;
however, there can be no assurance in this regard."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Kaanapali Insurance Talks Ongoing at Dec. 31

2017, that it continues to pursue discussions with Fireman's Fund
Insurance Corporation in an attempt to resolve the issues related
to insurance coverage on the asbestos lawsuits that the Company
is facing.

The Company states, "On February 12, 2014, counsel for Fireman's
Fund, the carrier that has been paying defense costs and
settlements for the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases, stated that it
would no longer advance fund settlements or judgments in the
Kaanapali Land asbestos cases due to the pendency of the D/C and
Oahu Sugar bankruptcies.

"In its communications with Kaanapali Land, Fireman's Fund
expressed its view that the automatic stay in effect in the D/C
bankruptcy case bars Fireman's Fund from making any payments to
resolve the Kaanapali Land asbestos claims because D/C
Distribution is also alleging a right to coverage under those
policies for asbestos claims against it.  However, in the
interim, Fireman's Fund advised that it presently intends to
continue to pay defense costs for those cases, subject to
whatever reservations of rights may be in effect and subject
further to the policy terms.

"Fireman's Fund has also indicated that to the extent that
Kaanapali Land cooperates with Fireman's Fund in addressing
settlement of the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases through
coordination with its adjusters, it is Fireman's Fund's present
intention to reimburse any such payments by Kaanapali Land,
subject, among other things, to the terms of any lift-stay order,
the limits and other terms and conditions of the policies, and
prior approval of the settlements.

"Kaanapali Land continues to pursue discussions with Fireman's
Fund in an attempt to resolve the issues, however, Kaanapali Land
is unable to determine what portion, if any, of settlements or
judgments in the Kaanapali Land asbestos cases will be covered by
insurance."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: D/C Lift Stay Issue Still Pending at Dec. 31
-------------------------------------------------------------
Proceedings regarding a bid to lift stay remains pending in the
bankruptcy cases of Kaanapali Land, LLC's subsidiary, D/C
Distribution Corporation, according to Kaanapali's Form 10-K
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission fiscal
year ended December 31, 2017.  The bankruptcy court has
previously lifted the stay in 2015, but the decision was reversed
by the district court in 2016.

The Company states, "On or about April 28, 2015, eight litigants
who filed asbestos claims in California state court (hereinafter,
"Petitioners") filed a motion for relief from the automatic stay
in the D/C bankruptcy (hereinafter "life stay motion").  Under
relevant provisions of the bankruptcy rules and on the filing of
the D/C bankruptcy action, all pending litigation claims against
D/C were stayed pending resolution of the bankruptcy action.  In
their motion, Petitioners asked the bankruptcy court to lift the
stay in the bankruptcy court to name D/C and/or its alternate
entities as defendants in their respective California state court
asbestos actions and to satisfy their claims against insurance
policies that defend and indemnify D/C and/or their alternate
entities.  The Petitioner's motion to lift stay thus in part has
as an objective ultimate recovery, if any, from, among other
things, insurance policy proceeds that were allegedly assets of
both the D/C and Oahu Sugar bankruptcy estates.

"Kaanapali, the EPA, and the Navy are claimants in the Oahu Sugar
bankruptcy and the Fireman's Fund policies are allegedly among
the assets of the Oahu Sugar bankruptcy estate as well.  For this
and other reasons, Kaanapali, the EPA and the Navy opposed the
motion to lift stay.

"After briefing and argument, on May 14, 2015, the United States
Bankruptcy Court, for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern
Division, in In Re D/C Distribution, LLC, Bankruptcy Case No. 07-
12776, issued an order lifting the stay.  In the order, the court
permitted the Petitioners to "proceed in the applicable
nonbankruptcy forum to final judgment (including any appeals) in
accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law.  Claimants are
entitled to settle or enforce their claims only by collecting
upon any available insurance Debtor's liability to them in
accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law.  No recovery may be
made directly against the property of Debtor, or property of the
bankruptcy estate." Kaanapali, Firemen's Fund and the United
States appealed the bankruptcy court order lifting the stay.

"In March 2016, the district court reversed the bankruptcy court
order finding that the bankruptcy court did not apply relevant
law to the facts in the case to arrive at a reasoned decision.
On appeal the district court noted that the law requires
consideration of a number of factors when lifting a stay to
permit certain claims to proceed, including consideration of the
adequacy of remaining insurance to meet claims still subject to
the stay.  Among other things, the court noted that the
bankruptcy court failed to explain why it was appropriate for the
petitioners to liquidate their claims before the other claimants
whose claims remained subject to the stay.  The district court
remanded the case for further proceedings.  It is uncertain
whether such further proceedings on the lift stay will take
place.

"The parties in the D/C and Oahu Sugar bankruptcies have reached
out to each other to determine if there is any interest in
pursuing a global settlement of the claims in the Oahu Sugar and
D/C bankruptcies insofar as the Fireman's Fund insurance policies
are concerned.  If such discussions take place, they may take the
form of a mediation or other format and involve some form of
resolution of Kaanapali's interest in various of the Fireman's
Fund insurance policies for Kaanapali's various and future
insurance claims.  Kaanapali may consider entering into such
discussions, but there is no assurance that such discussions will
take place or prove successful in resolving any of the claims in
whole or in part."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: H.B. Fuller Still Defends PI Suits at March 3
--------------------------------------------------------------
H.B. Fuller Company continues to face asbestos-related claims and
lawsuits, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended March 3, 2018.

The Company states, "We have been named as a defendant in
lawsuits in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to products
containing asbestos manufactured more than 30 years ago.  The
plaintiffs generally bring these lawsuits against multiple
defendants and seek damages (both actual and punitive) in very
large amounts.  In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to
demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable injuries or
that the injuries suffered were the result of exposure to
products manufactured by us.  We are typically dismissed as a
defendant in such cases without payment.  If the plaintiff
presents evidence indicating that compensable injury occurred as
a result of exposure to our products, the case is generally
settled for an amount that reflects the seriousness of the
injury, the length, intensity and character of exposure to
products containing asbestos, the number and solvency of other
defendants in the case, and the jurisdiction in which the case
has been brought.

"A significant portion of the defense costs and settlements in
asbestos-related litigation is paid by third parties, including
indemnification pursuant to the provisions of a 1976 agreement
under which we acquired a business from a third party.
Currently, this third party is defending and paying settlement
amounts, under a reservation of rights, in most of the asbestos
cases tendered to the third party.

"In addition to the indemnification arrangements with third
parties, we have insurance policies that generally provide
coverage for asbestos liabilities, including defense costs.
Historically, insurers have paid a significant portion of our
defense costs and settlements in asbestos-related litigation.
However, certain of our insurers are insolvent.  We have entered
into cost-sharing agreements with our insurers that provide for
the allocation of defense costs and settlements and judgments in
asbestos-related lawsuits.  These agreements require, among other
things, that we fund a share of settlements and judgments
allocable to years in which the responsible insurer is insolvent.

"We do not believe that it would be meaningful to disclose the
aggregate number of asbestos-related lawsuits filed against us
because relatively few of these lawsuits are known to involve
exposure to asbestos-containing products that we manufactured.
Rather, we believe it is more meaningful to disclose the number
of lawsuits that are settled and result in a payment to the
plaintiff.  To the extent we can reasonably estimate the amount
of our probable liabilities for pending asbestos-related claims,
we establish a financial provision and a corresponding receivable
for insurance recoveries.

"Based on currently available information, we have concluded that
the resolution of any pending matter, including asbestos-related
litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition or cash flow."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Diamond Offshore Still Faces Suits at March 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc., still faces asbestos-related
lawsuits pending in Louisiana, according to the Company's Form
10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "We are one of several unrelated defendants
in lawsuits filed in Louisiana state courts alleging that
defendants manufactured, distributed or utilized drilling mud
containing asbestos and, in our case, allowed such drilling mud
to have been utilized aboard our drilling rigs.  The plaintiffs
seek, among other things, an award of unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages.  The manufacture and use of asbestos-
containing drilling mud had already ceased before we acquired any
of the drilling rigs addressed in these lawsuits.

"We believe that we are not liable for the damages asserted in
the lawsuits pursuant to the terms of our 1989 asset purchase
agreement with Diamond M Corporation.  We are unable to estimate
our potential exposure, if any, to these lawsuits at this time
but do not believe that our ultimate liability, if any, resulting
from this litigation will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Transocean Units Had 8 Claims at March 31
----------------------------------------------------------
Transocean Ltd. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018, that eight plaintiffs have claims against the
Company's subsidiaries at March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "In 2004, several of our subsidiaries were
named, along with numerous other unaffiliated defendants, in
complaints filed in the Circuit Courts of the State of
Mississippi, and in 2014, a group of similar complaints were
filed in Louisiana.

"The plaintiffs, former employees of some of the defendants,
generally allege that the defendants used or manufactured
asbestos containing drilling mud additives for use in connection
with drilling operations, claiming negligence, products
liability, strict liability and claims allowed under the Jones
Act and general maritime law.  The plaintiffs generally seek
awards of unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, but the
court-appointed special master has ruled that a Jones Act
employer defendant, such as us, cannot be sued for punitive
damages.

"At March 31, 2018, eight plaintiffs have claims pending in
Louisiana in which we have or may have an interest.

"We intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously, although we can
provide no assurance as to the outcome.  We historically have
maintained broad liability insurance, although we are not certain
whether insurance will cover the liabilities, if any, arising out
of these claims.  Based on our evaluation of the exposure to
date, we do not expect the liability, if any, resulting from
these claims to have a material adverse effect on our condensed
consolidated statement of financial position, results of
operations or cash flows."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Transocean Unit Had 98 PI Suits at March 31
------------------------------------------------------------
Transocean Ltd. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018, that one of its subsidiaries was a defendant in
approximately 98 asbestos-related lawsuits as of March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "One of our subsidiaries has been named as a
defendant, along with numerous other companies, in lawsuits
arising out of the subsidiary's manufacture and sale of heat
exchangers, and involvement in the construction and refurbishment
of major industrial complexes alleging bodily injury or personal
injury as a result of exposure to asbestos.

"As of March 31, 2018, the subsidiary was a defendant in
approximately 98 lawsuits with a corresponding number of
plaintiffs.

"For many of these lawsuits, we have not been provided with
sufficient information from the plaintiffs to determine whether
all or some of the plaintiffs have claims against the subsidiary,
the basis of any such claims, or the nature of their alleged
injuries.

"The operating assets of the subsidiary were sold and its
operations were discontinued in 1989, and the subsidiary has no
remaining assets other than insurance policies, rights and
proceeds, including (i) certain policies subject to litigation
and (ii) certain rights and proceeds held directly or indirectly
through a qualified settlement fund.  The subsidiary has in
excess of US$1.0 billion in insurance limits potentially
available to the subsidiary.

"Although not all of the policies may be fully available due to
the insolvency of certain insurers, we believe that the
subsidiary will have sufficient funding directly or indirectly,
including from settlements and payments from insurers, assigned
rights from insurers and coverage-in-place settlement agreements
with insurers to respond to these claims.

"While we cannot predict or provide assurance as to the outcome
of these matters, we do not expect the ultimate liability, if
any, resulting from these claims to have a material adverse
effect on our condensed consolidated statement of financial
position, results of operations or cash flows."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: ITT Still Obliged to Indemnify Xylem at Mar. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC) still has an obligation to
indemnify Xylem Inc. from liabilities associated with asbestos
matters, according to Xylem's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "From time to time claims may be asserted
against Xylem alleging injury caused by any of our products
resulting from asbestos exposure.  We believe there are numerous
legal defenses available for such claims and would defend
ourselves vigorously.  Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement
among ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC), Exelis and Xylem, ITT
Corporation (now ITT LLC) has an obligation to indemnify, defend
and hold Xylem harmless for asbestos product liability matters,
including settlements, judgments, and legal defense costs
associated with all pending and future claims that may arise from
past sales of ITT's legacy products.  We believe ITT Corporation
(now ITT LLC) remains a substantial entity with sufficient
financial resources to honor its obligations to us.

"As part of our 2011 spin-off from our former parent, ITT
Corporation (now ITT LLC), Exelis Inc. and Xylem will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each of the other parties with respect
to such parties' assumed or retained liabilities under the
Distribution Agreement and breaches of the Distribution Agreement
or related spin agreements.  The former parent's indemnification
obligations include asserted and unasserted asbestos and silica
liability claims that relate to the presence or alleged presence
of asbestos or silica in products manufactured, repaired or sold
prior to October 31, 2011, the Distribution Date, subject to
limited exceptions with respect to certain employee claims, or in
the structure or material of any building or facility, subject to
exceptions with respect to employee claims relating to Xylem
buildings or facilities.  The indemnification associated with
pending and future asbestos claims does not expire.  Xylem has
not recorded a liability for material matters for which we expect
to be indemnified by the former parent or Exelis Inc. through the
Distribution Agreement and we are not aware of any claims or
other circumstances that would give rise to material payments
from us under such indemnifications.

"On May 29, 2015, Harris Inc. acquired Exelis.  As the parent of
Exelis, Harris Inc. is responsible for Exelis's indemnification
obligations under the Distribution Agreement."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Eaton Corp. Still Faces Claims at March 31
-----------------------------------------------------------
Eaton Corporation plc is subject to asbestos claims from historic
products which may have contained asbestos, according to the
Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims,
administrative and legal proceedings such as lawsuits that relate
to contractual allegations, tax audits, patent infringement,
personal injuries, antitrust matters and employment-related
matters.  Eaton is also subject to asbestos claims from historic
products which may have contained asbestos.  Insurance may cover
some of the costs associated with these claims and proceedings.
Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome
or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Allstate Had US$866MM Claim Reserves at Mar. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Allstate Corporation had US$866 million reserves for asbestos
claims net of reinsurance recoverables as of March 31, 2018,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "Allstate's reserves for asbestos claims were
US$866 million and US$884 million, net of reinsurance
recoverables of US$399 million and US$412 million, as of March
31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  Reserves for
environmental claims were US$162 million and US$166 million, net
of reinsurance recoverables of US$33 million and US$33 million,
as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

"The Company establishes reserves for claims and claims expense
on reported and unreported claims of insured losses.  The
Company's reserving process takes into account known facts and
interpretations of circumstances and factors including the
Company's experience with similar cases, actual claims paid,
historical trends involving claim payment patterns and pending
levels of unpaid claims, loss management programs, product mix
and contractual terms, changes in law and regulation, judicial
decisions, and economic conditions.  In the normal course of
business, the Company may also supplement its claims processes by
utilizing third party adjusters, appraisers, engineers,
inspectors, and other professionals and information sources to
assess and settle catastrophe and non-catastrophe related claims.
The effects of inflation are implicitly considered in the
reserving process.

"Because reserves are estimates of unpaid portions of losses that
have occurred, including incurred but not reported ("IBNR")
losses, the establishment of appropriate reserves, including
reserves for catastrophes and reserves and reinsurance
recoverables for the Discontinued Lines and Coverages, is an
inherently uncertain and complex process.  The ultimate cost of
losses may vary materially from recorded amounts, which are based
on management's best estimates.  The highest degree of
uncertainty is associated with reserves for losses incurred in
the current reporting period as it contains the greatest
proportion of losses that have not been reported or settled.  The
Company regularly updates its reserve estimates as new
information becomes available and as events unfold that may
affect the resolution of unsettled claims.  Changes in prior year
reserve estimates, which may be material, are reported in
property and casualty insurance claims and claims expense in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period
such changes are determined.

"Management believes that the reserve for property and casualty
insurance claims and claims expense, net of reinsurance
recoverables, is appropriately established in the aggregate and
adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of reported and
unreported claims arising from losses which had occurred by the
date of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial
Position based on available facts, technology, laws and
regulations."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Rockwell Automation Still Faces Suits at Mar31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rockwell Automation, Inc. continues to face personal injury
lawsuits filed by people claiming exposure to asbestos in certain
product components, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "We (including our subsidiaries) have been
named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a
result of exposure to asbestos that was used in certain
components of our products many years ago.  Currently there are a
few thousand claimants in lawsuits that name us as defendants,
together with hundreds of other companies.  In some cases, the
claims involve products from divested businesses, and we are
indemnified for most of the costs.  However, we have agreed to
defend and indemnify asbestos claims associated with products
manufactured or sold by our former Dodge mechanical and Reliance
Electric motors and motor repair services businesses prior to
their divestiture by us, which occurred on January 31, 2007.

"We are also responsible for half of the costs and liabilities
associated with asbestos cases against the former Rockwell
International Corporation's divested measurement and flow control
business.  But in all cases, for those claimants who do show that
they worked with our products or products of divested businesses
for which we are responsible, we nevertheless believe we have
meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of
the products, the encapsulated nature of any asbestos-containing
components, and the lack of any impairing medical condition on
the part of many claimants.  We defend those cases vigorously.
Historically, we have been dismissed from the vast majority of
these claims with no payment to claimants.

"We have maintained insurance coverage that we believe covers
indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insured
retentions, for claims arising from our former Allen-Bradley
subsidiary.  Our insurance carrier entered into a cost share
agreement with us to pay the substantial majority of future
defense and indemnity costs for Allen-Bradley asbestos claims.
We believe that this arrangement will continue to provide
coverage for Allen-Bradley asbestos claims throughout the
remaining life of the asbestos liability.

"We also have rights to historic insurance policies that provide
indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insured
retentions, for claims arising out of certain asbestos
liabilities relating to the divested measurement and flow control
business.  We initiated litigation against several insurers to
pursue coverage for these claims, subject to each carrier's
policy limits, and the case is now pending in Los Angeles County
Superior Court.  In September 2016, we entered into settlement
agreements with certain insurance company defendants, and we
continue to pursue our claims against the remaining defendants.
We believe these settlement agreements will continue to provide
partial coverage for these asbestos claims throughout the
remaining life of asbestos liability.

"The uncertainties of asbestos claim litigation make it difficult
to predict accurately the ultimate outcome of asbestos claims.
That uncertainty is increased by the possibility of adverse
rulings or new legislation affecting asbestos claim litigation or
the settlement process.  Subject to these uncertainties and based
on our experience defending asbestos claims, we do not believe
these lawsuits will have a material effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.

"We have, from time to time, divested certain of our businesses.
In connection with these divestitures, certain lawsuits, claims
and proceedings may be instituted or asserted against us related
to the period that we owned the businesses, either because we
agreed to retain certain liabilities related to these periods or
because such liabilities fall upon us by operation of law.  In
some instances, the divested business has assumed the
liabilities; however, it is possible that we might be responsible
for satisfying those liabilities if the divested business is
unable to do so.

"In connection with the spin-offs of our former automotive
business, semiconductor systems business and avionics and
communications business, the spun-off companies have agreed to
indemnify us for substantially all contingent liabilities related
to the respective businesses, including environmental and
intellectual property matters.

"In conjunction with the sale of our Dodge mechanical and
Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses, we
agreed to indemnify Baldor Electric Company for costs and damages
related to certain legal, legacy environmental and asbestos
matters of these businesses arising before January 31, 2007, for
which the maximum exposure would be capped at the amount received
for the sale."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Exelon Unit Had US$76.0MM Reserves at Mar. 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Exelon Corporation's subsidiary, Exelon Generation Company, LLC,
had reserved US$76 million at March 31, 2018 for asbestos-related
claims, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "Generation maintains a reserve for claims
associated with asbestos-related personal injury actions in
certain facilities that are currently owned by Generation or were
previously owned by ComEd and PECO.  The estimated liabilities
are recorded on an undiscounted basis and exclude the estimated
legal costs associated with handling these matters, which could
be material.

"At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Generation had recorded
estimated liabilities of approximately US$76 million and US$78
million, respectively, in total for asbestos-related bodily
injury claims.  As of March 31, 2018, approximately US$21 million
of this amount related to 232 open claims presented to
Generation, while the remaining US$55 million is for estimated
future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise
through 2050, based on actuarial assumptions and analyses, which
are updated on an annual basis.  On a quarterly basis, Generation
monitors actual experience against the number of forecasted
claims to be received and expected claim payments and evaluates
whether adjustments to the estimated liabilities are necessary."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Exelon Expects Additional Exposure at Mar. 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Exelon Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 2018 that there is a reasonable possibility that
the Company may have additional exposure to estimated future
asbestos-related bodily injury claims in excess of the amount
accrued and the increases could have a material unfavorable
impact on financial conditions, results of operations and cash
flows of the Company and its subsidiaries Exelon Generation
Company, LLC and PECO Energy Company.

The Company states, "On November 22, 2013, the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania held that the Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Act
does not apply to an employee's disability or death resulting
from occupational disease, such as diseases related to asbestos
exposure, which manifests more than 300 weeks after the
employee's last employment-based exposure, and that therefore the
exclusivity provision of the Act does not preclude such employee
from suing his or her employer in court.  The Supreme Court's
ruling reverses previous rulings by the Pennsylvania Superior
Court precluding current and former employees from suing their
employers in court, despite the fact that the same employee was
not eligible for workers compensation benefits for diseases that
manifest more than 300 weeks after the employee's last
employment-based exposure to asbestos.  Since the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court's ruling in November 2013, Exelon, Generation, and
PECO have experienced an increase in asbestos-related personal
injury claims brought by former PECO employees, all of which have
been accrued for on a claim by claim basis.  Those additional
claims are taken into account in projecting estimated future
asbestos-related bodily injury claims.

"On November 4, 2015, the Illinois Supreme Court found that the
provisions of the Illinois' Workers' Compensation Act and the
Workers' Occupational Diseases Act barred an employee from
bringing a direct civil action against an employer for latent
diseases, including asbestos-related diseases that fall outside
the 25-year limit of the statute of repose.  The Illinois Supreme
Court's ruling reversed previous rulings by the Illinois Court of
Appeals, which initially ruled that the Illinois Worker's
Compensation law should not apply in cases where the diagnosis of
an asbestos related disease occurred after the 25-year maximum
time period for filing a Worker's Compensation claim.  As a
result of this ruling, Exelon, Generation, and ComEd have not
recorded an increase to the asbestos-related bodily injury
liability as of March 31, 2018.

"There is a reasonable possibility that Exelon may have
additional exposure to estimated future asbestos-related bodily
injury claims in excess of the amount accrued and the increases
could have a material unfavorable impact on Exelon's,
Generation's and PECO's financial conditions, results of
operations and cash flows."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Crown Holdings Had 55,500 Claims at March 31
-------------------------------------------------------------
Crown Holdings, Inc. (fka Crown Cork & Seal Co. Inc.) had 55,500
pending claims related to asbestos matters as of March 31, 2018,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. ("Crown
Cork") is one of many defendants in a substantial number of
lawsuits filed throughout the U.S. by persons alleging bodily
injury as a result of exposure to asbestos.  These claims arose
from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of
whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963.  Approximately ninety
days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its
insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork.

"Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered
by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement
with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork
became self-insured.  The fund was depleted in 1998 and the
Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs.

"In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted
legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of
Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger
to companies involved with asbestos.  The legislation limits the
successor's liability for asbestos to the acquired company's
asset value adjusted for inflation.  Crown Cork has paid
significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired
company's adjusted asset value.  In November 2004, the
legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court
decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et al., No. 117 EM 2002)
which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania
Constitution due to retroactive application.  The Company
cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are
subject to litigation and may not be upheld.

"In June 2003, the state of Texas enacted legislation that limits
the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies
such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities
because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that
had been involved with asbestos.  The Texas legislation, which
applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-
related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor's
assets adjusted for inflation.  Crown Cork has paid significantly
more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of
its predecessor's assets.

"In October 2010, the Texas Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision,
reversed a lower court decision, Barbara Robinson v. Crown Cork &
Seal Company, Inc., No. 14-04-00658-CV, Fourteenth Court of
Appeals, Texas, which had upheld the dismissal of an asbestos-
related case against Crown Cork.  The Texas Supreme Court held
that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas
Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending
against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June 2003.
The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court
is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to
asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in
Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore, in its accrual, continues
to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003.

"In recent years, the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West
Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming enacted legislation that limits
asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as
Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they
are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been
involved with asbestos.  The legislation, which applies to future
and, with the exception of Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina,
South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming, pending claims, caps
asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the
predecessor's total gross assets adjusted for inflation.  Crown
Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than
the total value of its predecessor's assets adjusted for
inflation.  Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its
claims defense strategy.

"The Company further cautions that an adverse ruling in any
litigation relating to the constitutionality or applicability to
Crown Cork of one or more statutes that limits the asbestos-
related liability of alleged defendants like Crown Cork could
have a material impact on the Company."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Crown Holdings Had $313MM Accrual at March 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Crown Holdings, Inc. (fka Crown Cork & Seal Co Inc.) had accrual
of US$313 million for pending and future asbestos-related claims
and related legal costs as of March 31, 2018, according to the
Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "Crown Cork has entered into arrangements
with plaintiffs' counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to
claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against it.
However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be
filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future.  The
projected value of these claims is included in the Company's
estimated liability as of March 31, 2018.

"As of March 31, 2018, the Company's accrual for pending and
future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was US$313
million, including US$266 million for unasserted claims.  The
Company determines its accrual without limitation to a specific
time period.

"It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in
excess of the Company's accrual.  However, the Company is unable
to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual
due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the
Company's accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such
accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant (which was
not specified for approximately 81% of the claims outstanding at
the end of 2017), the Company and claimant's willingness to
negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other
defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy
filings of other defendants (which may result in additional
claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the
nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of
alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to
asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant's ability to
demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of
the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to
the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of
claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the
effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and
applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania
jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company's
asbestos cases are filed)."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Ashland Global Had 53,000 Open Claims at Mar.31
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ashland Global Holdings Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, that there were 53,000
open asbestos-related claims filed against the Company at March
31, 2018.

The Company states, "The claims alleging personal injury caused
by exposure to asbestos asserted against Ashland result primarily
from indemnification obligations undertaken in 1990 in connection
with the sale of Riley.  The amount and timing of settlements and
number of open claims can fluctuate from period to period.  A
summary of Ashland asbestos claims activity, excluding Hercules
claims, follows.

"From the range of estimates, Ashland records the amount it
believes to be the best estimate of future payments for
litigation defense and claim settlement costs, which generally
approximates the mid-point of the estimated range of exposure
from model results.  Ashland reviews this estimate and related
assumptions quarterly and annually updates the results of a non-
inflated, non-discounted approximate 50-year model developed with
the assistance of Nathan.

"During the most recent annual update of this estimate completed
during the June 2017 quarter, it was determined that the
liability for Ashland asbestos-related claims should be increased
by US$36 million.  Total reserves for asbestos claims were US$402
million at March 31, 2018 compared to US$419 million at September
30, 2017.

"Ashland has insurance coverage for certain litigation defense
and claim settlement costs incurred in connection with its
asbestos claims, and coverage-in-place agreements exist with the
insurance companies that provide substantially all of the
coverage that will be accessed.

"For the Ashland asbestos-related obligations, Ashland has
estimated the value of probable insurance recoveries associated
with its asbestos reserve based on management's interpretations
and estimates surrounding the available or applicable insurance
coverage, including an assumption that all solvent insurance
carriers remain solvent.  Substantially all of the estimated
receivables from insurance companies are expected to be due from
domestic insurers, all of which are solvent.

"At March 31, 2018, Ashland's receivable for recoveries of
litigation defense and claim settlement costs from insurers
amounted to US$149 million (excluding the Hercules receivable for
asbestos claims) compared to US$155 million at September 30,
2017.  During the June 2017 quarter, the annual update of the
model used for purposes of valuing the asbestos reserve and its
impact on valuation of future recoveries from insurers was
completed.  This model update resulted in a US$15 million
increase in the receivable for probable insurance recoveries."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Hercules LLC Had 12,000 PI Claims at March 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ashland Global Holdings Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, that wholly-owned
subsidiary Hercules LLC had 12,000 open claims filed against it
related to asbestos matters at March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "Hercules has liabilities from claims
alleging personal injury caused by exposure to asbestos.  Such
claims typically arise from alleged exposure to asbestos fibers
from resin encapsulated pipe and tank products which were sold by
one of Hercules' former subsidiaries to a limited industrial
market.  The amount and timing of settlements and number of open
claims can fluctuate from period to period.

"From the range of estimates, Ashland records the amount it
believes to be the best estimate of future payments for
litigation defense and claim settlement costs, which generally
approximates the mid-point of the estimated range of exposure
from model results.  Ashland reviews this estimate and related
assumptions quarterly and annually updates the results of a non-
inflated, non-discounted approximate 50-year model developed with
the assistance of Nathan.  As a result of the most recent annual
update of this estimate, completed during the June 2017 quarter,
it was determined that the liability for Hercules asbestos-
related claims should be increased by US$16 million.  Total
reserves for asbestos claims were US$311 million at March 31,
2018 compared to US$323 million at September 30, 2017.

"For the Hercules asbestos-related obligations, certain
reimbursement obligations pursuant to coverage-in-place
agreements with insurance carriers exist.  As a result, any
increases in the asbestos reserve have been partially offset by
probable insurance recoveries.  Ashland has estimated the value
of probable insurance recoveries associated with its asbestos
reserve based on management's interpretations and estimates
surrounding the available or applicable insurance coverage,
including an assumption that all solvent insurance carriers
remain solvent.  The estimated receivable consists exclusively of
solvent domestic insurers.

"As of March 31, 2018, and September 30, 2017, the receivables
from insurers amounted to US$68 million.  During the June 2017
quarter, the annual update of the model used for purposes of
valuing the asbestos reserve and its impact on valuation of
future recoveries from insurers was completed.  This model update
resulted in a US$5 million increase in the receivable for
probable insurance recoveries."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Crane Co. Had 30,990 Pending Claims at Mar. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Crane Co. has 30,990 pending asbestos-related claims as of March
31, 2018, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "As of March 31, 2018, the Company was a
defendant in cases filed in numerous state and federal courts
alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to asbestos.

"Of the 30,990 pending claims as of March 31, 2018, approximately
18,200 claims were pending in New York, approximately 500 claims
were pending in Texas, approximately 400 claims were pending in
Mississippi, and approximately 200 claims were pending in Ohio,
all jurisdictions in which legislation or judicial orders
restrict the types of claims that can proceed to trial on the
merits.

"The Company has tried several cases resulting in defense
verdicts by the jury or directed verdicts for the defense by the
court.  The Company further has pursued appeals of certain
adverse jury verdicts that have resulted in reversals in favor of
the defense."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: "Nelson" Trial v. Crane Co. Settled in 2Q 2018
---------------------------------------------------------------
Crane Co. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018, that the Company has settled the lawsuit over
James Nelson's asbestos claim in the second quarter of 2018.

The Company states, "On March 23, 2010, a Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, state court jury found the Company responsible for
a 1/11th share of a US$14.5 million verdict in the James Nelson
claim.  On February 23, 2011, the court entered judgment on the
verdict in the amount of US$4.0 million, jointly, against the
Company and two other defendants, with additional interest in the
amount of US$0.01 million being assessed against the Company,
only.  All defendants, including the Company, and the plaintiffs
took timely appeals of certain aspects of those judgments.  On
September 5, 2013, a panel of the Pennsylvania Superior Court, in
a 2-1 decision, vacated the Nelson verdict against all
defendants, reversing and remanding for a new trial.  Plaintiffs
requested a rehearing in the Superior Court and by order dated
November 18, 2013, the Superior Court vacated the panel opinion,
and granted en banc reargument.  On December 23, 2014, the
Superior Court issued a second opinion reversing the jury
verdict.  Plaintiffs sought leave to appeal to the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court, which defendants opposed.  By order dated June 21,
2017, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania denied plaintiffs'
petition for leave to appeal.  The case was set for a new trial
in April 2018.  The Company settled the matter in the second
quarter of 2018."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: "DeLisle" Suit v. Crane Co. Pending at March 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
Crane Co. still faces an asbestos lawsuit filed by Richard
DeLisle, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "On September 17, 2013, a Fort Lauderdale,
Florida state court jury in the Richard DeLisle claim found the
Company responsible for 16% of an US$8 million verdict.  The
trial court denied all parties' post-trial motions, and entered
judgment against the Company in the amount of US$1.3 million.
The Company appealed and oral argument on the appeal took place
on February 16, 2016.  On September 14, 2016, a panel of the
Florida Court of Appeals reversed and entered judgment in favor
of the Company.  Plaintiff filed with the Court of Appeals a
motion for rehearing and/or certification of an appeal to the
Florida Supreme Court, which the Court denied on November 9,
2016.  Plaintiffs subsequently requested review by the Supreme
Court of Florida.  Plaintiffs' motion was granted on July 11,
2017.  Oral argument took place on March 6, 2018."

No further updates were provided in the Company's SEC report.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: SCOTUS Won't Review Ruling in "Poage"
------------------------------------------------------
Crane Co. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018, that The Supreme Court of the United States
denied further review on March 26, 2018 in the asbestos suit
filed by James Poage.

The Company states, "On July 2, 2015, a St. Louis, Missouri state
court jury in the James Poage claim entered a US$1.5 million
verdict for compensatory damages against the Company.  The jury
also awarded exemplary damages against the Company in the amount
of US$10 million.  The Company filed a motion seeking to reduce
the verdict to account for the verdict set-offs.  That motion was
denied, and judgment was entered against the Company in the
amount of US$10.8 million.  The Company initiated an appeal.
Oral argument was held on December 13, 2016.  In an opinion dated
May 2, 2017, a Missouri Court of Appeals panel affirmed the
judgment in all respects.  The Court of Appeals denied the
Company's motion to transfer the case to the Supreme Court of
Missouri.  The Company sought leave to appeal before the Supreme
Court of Missouri, which denied that request.  The Supreme Court
of the United States denied further review on March 26, 2018.

of asbestos-related insurance receivables."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Harsco Corp. Had 17,251 PI Suits at March 31
-------------------------------------------------------------
Harsco Corporation continues to defend itself against 17,251
pending asbestos personal injury actions at March 31, 2018,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018.

Harsco Corp. states, "The Company is named as one of many
defendants (approximately 90 or more in most cases) in legal
actions in the U.S. alleging personal injury from exposure to
airborne asbestos over the past several decades.  In their suits,
the plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, many
manufacturers, distributors and installers of numerous types of
equipment or products that allegedly contained asbestos.

"The Company believes that the claims against it are without
merit.  The Company has never been a producer, manufacturer or
processor of asbestos fibers.  Any asbestos-containing part of a
Company product used in the past was purchased from a supplier
and the asbestos encapsulated in other materials such that
airborne exposure, if it occurred, was not harmful and is not
associated with the types of injuries alleged in the pending
actions.

"At March 31, 2018, there were 17,251 pending asbestos personal
injury actions filed against the Company.  Of those actions,
16,737 were filed in the New York Supreme Court (New York
County), 111 were filed in other New York State Supreme Court
Counties and 403 were filed in courts located in other states.

"The complaints in most of those actions generally follow a form
that contains a standard damages demand of US$20 million or US$25
million, regardless of the individual plaintiff's alleged medical
condition, and without identifying any specific Company product.

"At March 31, 2018, 16,712 of the actions filed in New York
Supreme Court (New York County) were on the Deferred/Inactive
Docket created by the court in December 2002 for all pending and
future asbestos actions filed by persons who cannot demonstrate
that they have a malignant condition or discernible physical
impairment.  The remaining 25 cases in New York County are
pending on the Active or In Extremis Docket created for
plaintiffs who can demonstrate a malignant condition or physical
impairment.

"The Company has liability insurance coverage under various
primary and excess policies that the Company believes will be
available, if necessary, to substantially cover any liability
that might ultimately be incurred in the asbestos actions.  The
costs and expenses of the asbestos actions are being paid by the
Company's insurers.

"In view of the persistence of asbestos litigation in the U.S.,
the Company expects to continue to receive additional claims in
the future.  The Company intends to continue its practice of
vigorously defending these claims and cases.  At March 31, 2018,
the Company has obtained dismissal in 27,971 cases by stipulation
or summary judgment prior to trial.

"It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-
related actions in the U.S. due to the unpredictable nature of
this litigation, and no loss provision has been recorded in the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements because a
loss contingency is not deemed probable or estimable.  Despite
this uncertainty, and although results of operations and cash
flows for a given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-
related actions, the Company does not expect that any costs that
are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in
connection with asbestos litigation would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Equity LifeStyle, DAs Still in Talks at Mar 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc., remains in settlement
discussions with the District Attorneys' offices regarding
alleged asbestos-related violation on its properties in
California, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 2018.

The Company states, "In November 2014, we received a civil
investigative subpoena from the office of the District Attorney
for Monterey County, California ("MCDA"), seeking information
relating to, among other items, statewide compliance with
asbestos and hazardous waste regulations dating back to 2005
primarily in connection with demolition and renovation projects
performed by third-party contractors at our California
Properties.  We responded by providing the information required
by the subpoena.

"On October 20, 2015, we attended a meeting with representatives
of the MCDA and certain other District Attorneys' offices at
which the MCDA reviewed the preliminary results of their
investigation including, among other things, (i) alleged
violations of asbestos and related regulations associated with
approximately 200 historical demolition and renovation projects
in California; (ii) potential exposure to civil penalties and
unpaid fees; and (iii) next steps with respect to a negotiated
resolution of the alleged violations.

"No legal proceedings have been instituted to date and we are
involved in settlement discussions with the District Attorneys'
offices.  We continue to assess the allegations and the
underlying facts, and at this time we are unable to predict the
outcome of the investigation or reasonably estimate any possible
loss."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: "Espinosa" PI Suit Remanded to State Court
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Vince Chhabria of the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California has entered an order
remanding the case styled Angela D. Espinosa, et al., Plaintiffs,
v. Certainteed Corporation, et al., Defendants, Case No. 18-cv-
01833-VC. United States District Court, N.D. California to the
Alameda County Superior Court.

Trista Haggard, one of the four plaintiffs in this wrongful death
action, is a California citizen. So are four of the five
defendants. The complaint alleges that Edward Espinosa, Haggard's
father, was exposed to asbestos when he was laying asbestos pipes
for C.F. Fredrick, Inc. in the late 1970s. It also alleges
exposure that Espinosa was exposed to asbestos through his
father's work as a laborer at C.F. Fredrick during the early
1970s.

Certainteed Corporation, the fifth defendant, argues that the
Plaintiffs cannot recover from Keenan Properties, Inc., a
distributor of asbestos-cement pipes, because Keenan did not
distribute asbestos-cement pipe between 1974 and 1982, the years
that Espinosa worked C.F. Fredrick, Inc. But Keenan was
distributing asbestos-cement pipe to C.F. Fredrick in the early
1970s, when Espinosa's father was working at C.F. Fredrick.

The Court determines that Certainteed Corporation has not shown -
- as it must for the Court to have diversity jurisdiction -- that
the four other defendants are sham defendants. The Court explains
that a non-diverse defendant is not considered for purposes of
diversity if there is no possibility that the plaintiff can
"establish a cause of action against the allegedly non-diverse
party." During this inquiry, a court can look outside the
pleadings to see if there are "discrete and undisputed facts that
would preclude plaintiff's recovery against" the non-diverse
party. Under this strict standard, Certainteed Corporation has
failed to show that -- at a minimum -- Keenan Properties, Inc.
and Sully-Miller Contracting Company are sham defendants.

Certainteed also has not shown that there is no possibility that
the plaintiffs can recover from Sully-Miller -- an installer of
asbestos pipes at the same site that Espinosa installed asbestos
pipes for C.F. Fredrick in the late 1970s. At Espinosa's
deposition in his prior personal injury suit, he admitted that he
never saw workers employed by another contractor. But Certainteed
does not explain why this fact precludes establishing that Mr.
Espinosa was exposed to asbestos by Sully-Miller and its agents.

The motion to seek jurisdictional discovery is also denied.
Certainteed has not explained why it cannot obtain this discovery
in state court.

Accordingly, the Court also denied the motion for jurisdictional
discovery and the administrative motion to supplement the record
as moot.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Bid to Join Tortfeasors in "Grimes" Denied
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Alison J. Nathan of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York has issued a Memorandum Opinion
and Order denying Defendant Crane Co. request to require joinder
of necessary parties under Rule 19.

On October 3, 2017, the Plaintiffs filed two lawsuits in New York
state court against two different groups of defendants. One
lawsuit was filed against 83 defendants, not including Crane, and
alleged that Mr. Grimes developed mesothelioma as a result of
exposure to Defendants' asbestos-containing products. That action
remains pending in New York state court. The second action -- the
instant action, styled as John Grimes & Linda Phelps, Plaintiffs,
v. CBS Corporation, et al., Defendants, No. 17 Civ. 8361 (AJN),
(S.D.N.Y.) -- was filed against four other defendants, including
Crane.

The Plaintiffs similarly alleged that Mr. Grimes developed
mesothelioma as a result of exposure to Defendants' asbestos-
containing products. On October 30, 2017, Defendants Foster
Wheeler LLC and General Electric Company removed that case to
federal court.

Crane moves for joinder of necessary parties under Rule 19 and
requests that the Court require Plaintiffs to join in this action
all defendants that Plaintiffs sued in the parallel state court
action. Crane argues that this lawsuit and the pending state
court action "request the same relief, under substantially the
same legal theories, for the same injuries, arising from the same
alleged exposure to asbestos," and it contends that Plaintiffs
pursued two lawsuits to segregate defendants like Crane who could
remove the case to federal court from those who could not.
Plaintiffs admit to segregating defendants to avoid the
possibility of removal, but they emphasize that joinder is still
not appropriate.

Crane contends that joinder of the state court defendants is
necessary because if they are absent from this action, Crane
will, if found to be at fault, incur greater liability than it
would if those defendants had been joined. Crane insists that
joinder under Rule 14 is an inadequate solution.

The Plaintiffs dispute Crane's contention, and they emphasize
that Crane could pursue a subsequent contribution action against
any of the state court defendants, if necessary. Plaintiffs also
emphasize that it is unnecessary to name every joint tortfeasor
in one action. As Plaintiffs note, "it is not necessary for all
joint tortfeasors to be named as defendants in a single lawsuit"
since their liability is both joint and several." Under well-
established law, Plaintiffs "did not need to include all joint
tortfeasors as defendants in a single lawsuit." If Crane, like
the non-settling defendants in Brooklyn Navy Yard, is required to
pay more than its equitable share, it has the right to pursue
reimbursement from absent joint tortfeasors.

Crane insists, however, that maritime law applies to this action
and that, under maritime law, "fault must be allocated among the
parties at trial and settling parties", such that "denying
joinder of the parties. . . will almost certainly result in a
gross over-allocation of responsibility to Crane Co. should it be
found at fault,"

The Court notes that federal courts applied New York state law in
Brooklyn Navy Yard. However, the Court need not decide at this
stage whether New York law or maritime law governs this action.
First, it is not clear that, if maritime law applied, Crane would
be unable to pursue contribution actions against the state
defendants or that this Court would be unable to permit a jury to
apportion fault among non-party entities. Crane cites to only
one, non-binding case that expresses doubt "whether federal
maritime principles permit a court to enter a judgment reflecting
a jury's apportionment of damages among entities that were never
named defendants in the lawsuit before the court and from whom
plaintiff has received no compensation for his injuries." Second,
even if Crane were required to pay more than its fair share, the
proportionate share approach recognizes that over-payment may
occur in certain circumstances, such as when a defendant is
insolvent. Thus, Crane may still be required to "pay more than
its apportioned share of liability," if the state court
defendants are not joined does not render those defendants
necessary parties.

Crane further contends that joinder is appropriate to protect the
public interest in avoiding duplicative litigation. Plaintiffs
respond, "the fact that joining joint tortfeasors under Rule 19
may reduce the need for subsequent litigation does not mean that"
joinder under Rule 19 is appropriate. Rule 19 does not direct the
Court to consider the "public interest" of the risk of multiple
lawsuits -- as opposed to multiple obligations -- when deciding
whether a party is required to be joined as a party to an action.
Accordingly, that joinder of the state-court defendants may be
efficient does not make those defendants necessary parties.

Accordingly, the motion for joinder is denied and the initial
pretrial conference remains scheduled for August 10, 2018.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: "Betzner" PI Suit Remanded to State Court
----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Staci M. Yandle of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Illinois has issued a Memorandum and
Order remanding the case Bruce Betzner and Barbara Betzner,
Plaintiffs, v. A.O. Smith Corporation, et al, Defendants, Case
No. 18-CV-1294-SMY-RJD, (S.D. Ill.) to the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois.

Plaintiffs Bruce and Barbara Betzner originally filed this
lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit,
Madison County, Illinois, alleging that Bruce Betzner sustained
injuries due to asbestos exposure. On June 18, 2018, Defendant
Boeing Co. removed the action to this Court, asserting federal
subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1442,
the federal officer removal statute.

The federal officer removal statute permits removal of a state
court action to federal court when such action is brought against
"the United States or an agency thereof of any officer (or any
person acting under that officer) of the United States or of any
agency thereof, sued in an official or individual capacity for
any act under color of such office. As the proponent of
jurisdiction, the Court states that Boeing must show that it was
a (1) "person" (2) "acting under" the United States, its
agencies, or its officers (3) that has been sued "for or relating
to any act under color of such office," and (4) has a colorable
federal defense to Plaintiff's claim.

Boeing maintains that it was acting under an officer or agency of
the United States government in relation to Plaintiffs' claims
and that "it can state at least a colorable federal defense to
Plaintiffs' claims." However, Boeing's Notice of Removal is
devoid of any facts, supporting affidavits, or exhibits
supporting its claimed government contractor defense. Thus,
Boeing's bald assertions are insufficient to meet the criteria
for federal officer jurisdiction. As such, the Court concludes
that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this matter and is
obligated to remand the case back to the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois.
