The Plaintiff appears PRO SE.


AMERICAN GENERAL: Can Compel to Produce Atty-Client Fee Deal Copies
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, MICHELLE L. MORIARTY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. AMERICAN
GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, et al., Defendants, Case No.
17-CV-1709-BTM-WVG (S.D. Cal.), Magistrate Judge William V. Gallo
of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California
granted the Defendant's motion to compel the Plaintiff to produce
all copies of her attorney-client fee agreement.

On July 18, 2017, Moriarty filed a putative class action asserting
causes of action for breach of contract, breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, declaratory relief against
Defendant AmGen arising from its alleged policies and practices
pertaining to the application of California Insurance Code Sections
10113.71 and 10113.72, and asserts a cause of action for negligence
against Defendant Bayside Insurance Associates, Inc.  As an element
of her claimed damages for breach of the implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing, the Plaintiff seeks attorney's fees
pursuant to Brandt v. Superior Court.

The Plaintiff is represented by two law firms in the case --
Winters & Associates and Nicholas & Tomasevic, LLP ("N&T").
Winters was first retained by the Plaintiff via written agreement
on Oct. 13, 2016.  N&T was associated into the case via written
agreement on Aug. 21, 2017.

On March 15, 2018, the Plaintiff served her amended responses to
AmGen's request for production of documents.  Request number 10
asks for any and all fee agreements between YOU and Winters &
Associates in connection with the lawsuit.  The Plaintiff provided
the October 2016 agreement with Winters but withheld the August
2017 agreement that included N&T and Winters, arguing it was
protected by attorney-client privilege.

On May 16, 2018, the parties jointly alerted the Court to a pending
discovery dispute regarding the Plaintiff's responses to AmGen's
requests for production of documents.  Finding that further
briefing would be necessary to resolve the matter, the Court
ordered the parties to fully brief the issue.  The Court also
ordered the Plaintiff to provide all retainer agreements directly
to the Court for in camera review.

The Defendant argues any and all fee agreements between the
Plaintiff and her counsel are discoverable simply by the fact the
Plaintiff is alleging claims for Brandt fees.  The Defendant argues
the agreements may include fee shifting between the two firms that
improperly increases Brandt fees.

The Plaintiff concedes that because she is seeking Brandt fees, she
"waives the privilege" covering her attorney-fee agreement because
she has specifically put them in issue.  Notwithstanding this, the
Plaintiff argues the August 2017 N&T fee agreement should not be
turned over because she claims there is a clear division of labor
between the two firms representing her.  She argues the Winters
firm is representing her for individual claims, which include
claims for Brandt fees, while N&T will be representing her for the
class action claims, which do not include claims for Brandt fees.
Given this division of labor, the Plaintiff claims the August 2017
agreement with N&T remains privileged pursuant to Section 6149 of
California Civil Code.

Magistrate Judge Gallo strongly disagrees.  He finds that the fee
agreement belies the representation.  First, the agreement
explicitly states that in order to prosecute the Class Action, as
well as the Plaintiff's individual claims, Winters has associated
the firm of N&T.  This, in and of itself, discredits the
Plaintiff's argument regarding an established division of labor.
Second, the agreement states that the Plaintiff agrees she has
retained both firms, not any particular attorney, and the attorney
services to be provided to her will not necessarily be performed by
any particular attorney.  Lastly, the agreement states that Winters
intends to file a lawsuit against the Defendant and N&T will act as
co-counsel in the matter to pursue the action as both an Individual
claim and a class action.

The contract makes it abundantly clear that no division of labor
exists as claimed by the Plaintiff, the Magistrate Judge holds.
Since the Plaintiff's August 2017 agreement explicitly includes the
claims that involve Brandt fees, it is not shielded by privilege.
Accordingly, Magistrate Judge Gallo overruled the Plaintiff's
objection and granted the Defendant's motion to compel.  The
Plaintiff will comply with the subject request by June 22, 2018.

Magistrate Judge ordered the Plaintiff's counsel, Craig M.
Nicholas, to show cause why sanctions should not issue for raising
a frivolous dispute and making oral misrepresentations to the
Court.  He finds the dispute is frivolous for the simple reason
that the agreement between the Plaintiff and her counsel are
written such that the agreement fits squarely within the law
providing such agreements are discoverable.  This clear cut issue
is one that the Plaintiff should have conceded from the outset.
Instead, the Plaintiff's counsel squabbled with defense counsel
resulting in the unnecessary expenditure of both time and financial
resources.

He further finds Nicholas misrepresented the structure of the fee
agreement.  Not only is the division of labor argued by Nicholas
not envisioned in the August 2017 agreement, the August 2017
agreement states almost the exact opposite.

On July 9, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., the Court will convene a show cause
hearing.  The Plaintiff and the Plaintiff's counsel will appear
personally.  The Defendant may appear at the hearing.

On June 20, 2018, the Plaintiff's counsel will file a Declaration
in response to the Order to Show Cause explaining why sanctions
should not issue.  This Declaration will not exceed five pages,
excluding exhibits.

On June 27, 2018, the Defendant will file a Reply, not to exceed
five pages, excluding exhibits.  Its Reply will include the fees
and costs incurred in raising the present dispute.

CIPRO CASES: Hull's Objection to Barr Settlement Dismissed
----------------------------------------------------------
In the case, In re CIPRO CASES I & II, No. D072431 (Cal. App.),
Judge Cynthia Aaron of the Court of Appeals of California for the
Fourth District, Division One, dismissed Sean Hull's appeal
pertaining to a partial class action settlement between the
Plaintiffs and Barr Laboratories.

Objectors Hull, Sarah McDonald and Steven Helfand brought two
appeals pertaining to a partial class action settlement between the
Plaintiffs and certain Defendants in the underlying proceeding.  In
the underlying action, the Plaintiff class challenged settlement
agreements that were reached in a patent infringement case between
the maker of Cipro and companies that sought to market and sell a
generic version of Cipro.  The Plaintiffs argued that the
settlement agreements between the pharmaceutical companies amounted
to unlawful restraints of trade in violation of the Cartwright Act
and the Unfair Competition Law.  The appeal concerns a settlement
between the Plaintiffs and Defendant Barr Laboratories.

In late 2003, the superior court granted the plaintiffs' motion for
class certification.  On appeal, the court narrowed the proposed
class and affirmed the certification of the class as modified.  In
2004, after affirmance of the class certification ruling on appeal,
the trial court issued an order regarding class notice, which
included an opportunity for class members to opt out.

In February 2017, the trial court granted preliminary approval of
the Barr settlement and directed that notice be distributed to the
class members.  The notice described the terms of the settlement
and apprised class members of their rights with respect to the
settlement.  Three class members, Hull, McDonald and Helfand, filed
objections to the Barr settlement.  None of the objectors moved to
intervene in the action.

On April 21, 2017, the court held a final approval hearing with
respect to the Barr settlement.  Only the counsel for McDonald
attended the hearing.  The trial court overruled the three
objections to the settlement, granted final approval, and awarded
attorney fees, costs, and incentive awards.

Hull did not move to vacate the judgment.  However, Hull, and
McDonald and Helfand, filed notices of appeal from the trial
court's judgment and postjudgment order regarding fees and costs.

On Jan. 29, 2018, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Hernandez
v. Restoration Hardware, Inc., reaffirming the holding in Eggert v.
Pac. States S. & L. Co. that unnamed class members may not appeal
from a judgment, settlement or attorney fee award in a class action
unless they have become parties to the action.  On Feb. 1, 2018,
the Plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the objectors' appeals,
based on the holding in Hernandez.

In response, McDonald and Helfand requested that their appeal be
dismissed.  The court granted their request for dismissal, leaving
Hull as the sole remaining objector with a pending appeal.  Hull
filed a brief opposing the motion to dismiss his appeal.  The
Appellate Court permitted the Plaintiffs to file a reply to Hull's
opposition.

Hull argues that Hernandez does not require that his appeal be
dismissed.  According to Hull, Hernandez is limited to appeals from
judgments after a trial on the merits, and should not apply to the
settlement of a class action, where a formal objection procedure
exists for class members.  He further contends that even if
Hernandez does apply to the case, the facts here trigger an
exception to the general rule of retrospective application of
authority from the California Supreme Court, because applying
Hernandez would be unfair in this situation.  Finally, Hull argues
that if this court determines that Hernandez does apply such that
he was required to have become a party of record in order to have
standing to appeal, then the class notice violates standards of due
process because it failed to inform him of the requirement that he
intervene in order to have standing to appeal.

Judge Aaron finds no merit in these arguments.  First, it is
abundantly clear from the language of Hernandez that the Eggert
rule applies not only to class action judgments entered after a
trial, but also to settlements and attorney fee awards in class
actions.  Second, she rejects Hull's suggestion that Hernandez
should not be applied retroactively to the case because retroactive
application would be unfair.  The main problem with Hull's argument
against retroactive application of Hernandez is that Hernandez does
not establish a new rule of law.  Rather, it merely reaffirms and
applies an already-established rule of law.  

Finally, the Judge rejects Hull's contention that the class notice
somehow violated "due process" because it failed to inform Hull
that he would have to become a party of record in the action in
order to appeal from the court's approval of the settlement.
Hull's argument suggests that a settlement notice or settlement
agreement must include an instruction that class members wishing to
appeal must also intervene.  However, he provides no authority for
such a proposition, and we have found no basis for such a rule.

There is no contention that the Barr settlement notice failed to
explain the settlement, or failed to provide a discussion of the
process for objecting to the settlement, or that it omitted any
other relevant information that is required to be included in the
notice.  However, the Judge holds that the settlement agreement
does not set forth the procedures for initiating an appeal or for
obtaining standing to appeal.  The provision regarding the posting
of a bond merely provides the Defendants and the named class
Plaintiffs with some level of protection against a class member
attempting to delay distribution of the settlement by pursuing an
appeal.  She concludes that because Hull never became a party of
record, either by intervening or filing a motion to vacate the
judgment, he has no standing to appeal from the judgment.  His
appeal must therefore be dismissed.

For these reasons, Judge Aaron dismissed Hull's appeal.

CLIENT SERVICES: Nikki Van-Orman Sues over Debt Collection Practice
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NIKKI VAN-ORMAN, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, v. CLIENT SERVICES, INC., the Defendant,
Case No. 3:18-cv-00349 (D. Nev., July 20, 2018), seeks to recover
damages, and declaratory and injunctive relief under the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiff is obligated, or
allegedly obligated, to pay a debt as to Chase Bank USA, N.A. The
Debt arises from transactions in which the money, property,
insurance, or services were incurred primarily for personal,
family, or household purposes. In an attempt to collect the Debt,
on or around October 13, 2017, the Defendant sent Plaintiff a
collection letter. The Defendant sent the Letter in connection with
its attempts to collect the Debt. This language falsely implied
that if Plaintiff does the converse -- that is, pays the claimed
balance in full rather than agreeing to the lesser settlement
amount -- Plaintiff could enhance her likelihood of receiving
future credit products from Chase Bank or improve her overall
creditworthiness. The Letter is also deceptive and misleading in
that it implies that the consumer may enhance her likelihood of
approval for credit products by paying the claimed debt in full
rather than the reduced settlement amount.

Client Services operates as a customer relationship management
company that offers a suite of accounts receivable management and
business processing.[BN]

CLUB EXPLORIA: Mallard Sues over Unwanted Telephone Calls
---------------------------------------------------------
JONATHAN MALLARD, on behalf of himself and others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, v. CLUB EXPLORIA, LLC, d.b.a. Exploria
Resorts, the Defendant, Case No. 9:18-cv-80958-RLR (S.D. Fla., July
20, 2018), seeks to recover damages and other equitable and legal
remedies resulting from Defendant's violation of the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act.

According to the complaint, Exploria, or an agent acting on its
behalf, repeatedly called Plaintiff's cellular phone -- sometimes
three times per day -- for the purpose of encouraging him to
purchase an Exploria resorts timeshare. Exploria, or its agent,
used an automatic telephone dialing system and an artificial or
prerecorded voice to make these calls. The Plaintiff never
consented to receive calls from Exploria and has no prior
affiliation with Exploria. The Plaintiff has repeatedly asked that
Exploria stop calling his cellular phone, but he continues to
receive these telemarketing calls.

Club Exploria, LLC owns and operates hotels and resorts.[BN]

DARP INC: S. Norrid's Wage Suit Transferred to W.D. Ark.
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Ronald A. White of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Oklahoma granted the Defendant's motion to transfer the
case, Shane Norrid, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, et al., Plaintiffs, v. D.A.R.P., Inc., Raymond
Jones, and Hendren Plastics, Inc., Defendants, Case No.
17-CIV-401-RAW (E.D. Okla.), to the Western District of Arkansas.

On Oct. 23, 2017, Mark Fochtman and Shane O'Neal filed a putative
class action in Arkansas State Court.  The case was removed to the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas and
ordered amended.  

The amended class action alleges that Defendants DARP and Hendren
contracted together to use individuals on probation as involuntary
laborers.  The class action alleges that the labor violated the
Arkansas Minimum Wage Act, Arkansas Constitution, Arkansas Human
Trafficking Act, and the Arkansas Civil Rights Action Section
16-123-105.  The Plaintiffs seek to represent all individuals who
worked for DARP in Arkansas from Oct. 23, 2014 to the present and
wishes to recover unpaid back wages, liquidated damages, punitive
damages, and injunctive relief.

On Nov. 1, 2017, Plaintiffs Norrid, et. al. filed a putative class
action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Oklahoma.  The instant class action alleges that DARP, Hendren, and
Jones, President of DARP, contracted to force individuals on
probation into involuntary servitude in violation of Arkansas
Minimum Wage Act, Arkansas unjust enrichment laws, Oklahoma
Trafficking for Labor Act, Oklahoma fraud laws, Oklahoma wage laws,
the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act, and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.  The
Plaintiffs seek to represent all persons who have worked for
Hendren and DARP in Arkansas or Oklahoma since Nov. 1, 2007 and
recover unpaid wages, liquidated damages, punitive damages,
injunctive relief, disgorgement, attorney's fees, and costs.

Before the Court is Hendren's motion to transfer the case to the
Western District of Arkansas.

Judge White finds that the first-to-file rule provides an adequate
basis for the transfer.  The case in the Western District of
Arkansas is the first-filed action, while the instant case is the
second-filed action. The Fochtman case was indisputably filed
before the Norrid case.  The Plaintiff argues that Norrid should be
considered the first case, as Norrid is further along in its
proceedings than Fochtman.  Even if true, procedural maturity is
irrelevant for purposes of evaluating the first-to-file rule.  As
stated in Hospah Coal Co. v. Chaco Energy Co., jurisdiction relates
back to the filing, not subsequent stages of the case.  Thus, the
Fochtman case in the Western District of Arkansas qualifies as the
first-filed case.

The Judge also finds that the parties in the instant case are
substantially similar to the parties in the Fochtman case, as there
is substantial overlap between both the Defendants and the
Plaintiffs.  He says there is no concern of claims or issues
remaining unaddressed after transfer, since the Western District of
Arkansas may dispense with both cases through consolidation.  The
first-to-file rule would be illogical and self-defeating if courts
could not dispense with second-filed class actions featuring
somewhat larger classes.  Further, the court looks to the
similarity of the parties themselves, not the procedural means of
determining the parties.

The issues raised in both the Norrid and Fochtman cases are
substantially similar.  Both complaints allege that persons were
forced to illegally work as unpaid laborers for DARP and Hendren.
Both suits seek to recover unpaid back wages, liquidated damages,
punitive damages, and injunctive relief.  Though the Norrid case
may feature additional theories of recovery, both cases ultimately
hinge on the question of whether the Plaintiffs may recover unpaid
wages from the Defendants for forced, uncompensated labor.
Therefore, the issues are substantially similar.

Finally, the Judge finds that the interests of justice weigh in
favor of transferring the instant case to the Western District of
Arkansas under Section 1404(a).  The greatest factor is the
practical nature of consolidation that could occur with the
Fochtman case.  It is likely that, at the very least, the two cases
can consolidate their discovery and pretrial matters.  This helps
to reduce costs, expedite the case, and avoid inconsistent results.
Witness accessibility is a neutral factor.  Events and omissions
giving rise to the claims occurred in both Oklahoma and Arkansas,
and parties reside in both states.  Although the Plaintiffs reside
in Oklahoma, the potential for class representation reduces the
importance of this factor.  As such, he determines that transfer
would be proper under 28 U.S.C Section 1404(a).

Judge White granted Hendren's Motion to Transfer Venue, and
transferred the case to the Western District of Arkansas for
possible consolidation with Fochtman et al., v. DARP, Inc, et al.,
18-5047-TLB.  The motion is granted because the Judge, for the
reasons stated, finds that venue is proper under both the
first-to-file rule and 28 U.S.C Section 1404(a).

ENVISION HEALTHCARE: Rosenblatt Balks at Merger Deal with KKR
-------------------------------------------------------------
JORDAN ROSENBLATT, Individually and On Behalf of All Others
Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff, v. ENVISION HEALTHCARE
CORPORATION, WILLIAM A. SANGER, CHRISTOPHER A. HOLDEN, CAROL J.
BURT, JAMES A. DEAL, LEONARD M. RIGGS, JOHN T. GAWALUCK, STEVEN I.
GERINGER, JAMES D. SHELTON, JOEY A. JACOBS, MICHAEL L. SMITH, KEVIN
P. LAVENDER, and CYNTHIA S. MILLER, the Defendants, Case No.
1:18-cv-01077-UNA (D. Del., July 20, 2018), alleges that Defendants
violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 in connection with a merger agreement.

The action stems from a proposed transaction announced on June 11,
2018, pursuant to which Envision Healthcare Corporation will be
acquired by KKR and its affiliates. On June 10, 2018, Envision's
Board of Directors caused the Company to enter into an agreement
and plan of merger with Enterprise Parent Holdings Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Enterprise Merger Sub, Inc. Pursuant to
the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Proposed Transaction is
approved by Envision's shareholders and completed, Envision's
stockholders will receive $46.00 in cash for each share of the
Envision common stock they hold. On July 9, 2018, the defendants
filed a preliminary proxy statement with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proposed
Transaction. The proxy statement omits material information with
respect to the Proposed Transaction, which renders the Proxy
Statement false and misleading.

Envision Healthcare is an American healthcare company and national
hospital based physician group. In December 2016 Envison and AMSURG
merged, and shortly thereafter the company's stock replaced Legg
Mason in the S&P 500 index.[BN]

FIRST COMMUNITY: Seeks 10th Cir. Review of Ruling in "Lavigne"
--------------------------------------------------------------
First Community Bancshares, Inc., and First National Bank Texas
filed an appeal from a court ruling certifying a class in the
lawsuit titled JANINE LAVIGNE v. FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
and FIRST NATIONAL BANK TEXAS, Case No. 1:15-CV-00934-WPJ, in the
U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico - Albuquerque.

The Defendants-Appellants want the Tenth Circuit to determine
whether:

   1. the District Court manifestly erred in certifying a class
      without undertaking a rigorous analysis of the class
      certification requirements and in finding the class is
      ascertainable?

   2. the District Court manifestly erred in certifying a class
      where individual issues of consent will predominate over
      the entire litigation?

   3. the District Court manifestly erred in failing to analyze
      the applicable TCPA standard-ACA, 885 F.3d 687, which
      demonstrates class claims cannot be proven with common
      evidence? and

   4. the Tenth Circuit should weigh in on the Circuit split
      regarding the ascertainability requirement, and address
      novel legal issues regarding the impact of ACA, and the
      standards for expert and non-expert evidence at the
      certification stage?

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the District
Court granted in part the Defendants' Motion to Strike Plaintiff's
Reply Memorandum In Support of Plaintiff's Motion for Class
Certification.

The lawsuit is a putative class action for relief under the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act.  The Plaintiff alleges that
Defendant First Community Bancshares, Inc., and its subsidiary
Defendant First National Bank Texas, violated the TCPA by placing
automated telephone calls to her cellular telephone for
nonemergency purposes using an automatic telephone dialing system
as defined by the TCPA.

The appellate case is captioned as JANINE LAVIGNE, On behalf of
herself and all others similarly situated Plaintiff and Respondent
v. FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. and FIRST NATIONAL BANK TEXAS,
Defendants and Petitioners, Case No. 18-706, in the United States
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

FIRST NATIONAL: Court Denies Bid to Dismiss "Lundquist" Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, CAMERON LUNDQUIST, an individual, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. FIRST NATIONAL
INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, a New Hampshire Corporation,
Defendant, Case No. 18-5301 RJB (W.D. Wash.), Judge Robert J. Bryan
of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington,
Tacoma, denied the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's
Complaint.

In the putative class action, the Plaintiff asserts that First
National's practice of using unexplained and unjustified condition
adjustments to comparable vehicles when valuing a total loss claim
for a vehicle, violates the Washington Administrative Code ("WAC"),
and so constitutes: (1) breach of contract, (2) breach of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (3) violation
of Washington's Consumer Protection Act ("CPA").

In 2017, Lundquist owned a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab that was in
an accident that was so severe that the truck was considered a
total loss.  At the time, the Plaintiff had a vehicle insurance
contract with First National, which provided that First National's
limit of liability for a total loss was lowest of either the
"actual cash value" or the amount necessary to repair or replace
the vehicle.

According to the Complaint, to calculate its offer and payment on a
total loss, First National obtains a Market Valuation Report from a
third-party company called CCC Information Services, Inc.  These
reports purport to contain values for comparable used vehicles
recently sold or for sale in the geographic area of the insured.
The Complaint asserts that while the reports reduce the estimated
value of the comparable vehicles for "condition adjustments," the
reports fail to "itemize or explain" the basis for these
adjustments.

After the Plaintiff made a claim for the total loss of his truck,
First National obtained a report from CCC, and based an offer of
settlement of $18,406.12 on the valuation report.  The Plaintiff
accepted the offer.  The Plaintiff's truck was given an upward
adjustment as being in "dealer ready" condition for the dashboard
and engine (in the amount of $51 each, for a total of $102) and was
listed as "normal wear" for the other conditions.

The Complaint alleges that by reducing the comparable vehicles by
$936, without regard to any of the individual characteristics of
those comparable vehicles (and without any explanation), First
National's settlement offer was arbitrary, unjustified, and
resulted in an underpayment to the Plaintiff.  The Complaint
maintains that First National is violating provisions of the
Washington Administrative Code ("WAC") which regulate the "Methods
and Standards of Practice for Settlement of Total Loss Vehicle
Claims."

Based on alleged violations of the WAC, specifically WAC 284-30-391
(4)(b) and (5)(d), the Complaint makes claims for breach of
contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and
for violation of the CPA.  The Complaint seeks damages, declaratory
and injunctive relief.

In the pending motion to dismiss, First National argues that it
complied with all applicable provisions of WAC, particularly WAC
284-30-391 (4)(b) and (5)(d).  It asserts that Subsection (4)(b)
does not impose any disclosure obligation and Subsection (5)(b)
does not apply to comparable vehicles. Id. It argues that even if
subsection (4)(b) did require disclosure and subsection (5)(d) did
apply to condition adjustments made to comparable vehicles, First
National fully complied with the regulations.  It asserts all the
Plaintiff's claims rise and fall on its compliance with WAC
284-30-391, and so, the Complaint should be dismissed.

The Plaintiff opposes the motion, and argues that WAC 284-30-391
prohibits un-itemized and unexplained condition adjustments,
whether to the loss vehicle or a comparable vehicle.  Accordingly,
whether an insurer makes a condition adjustment to the loss vehicle
or a comparable vehicle, the adjustment results in an addition or
deduction from the actual cash value" and so must be explained and
itemized under Subsection 5 (d).  The Plaintiff asserts that First
National did not do so here.

Judge Bryan finds that the Plaintiff accurately points out that if
the "additions or deductions" only applied to the loss vehicle, as
First National maintains, it would amount to an "end-run around"
the explanation and itemization requirements of subsection (5)(d).
The regulation's failure to so specify should be interpreted as to
include both the loss vehicle and comparable vehicles.  Nothing in
WAC 284-30-392 (which provides what information must be included in
the valuation reports) conflicts with this interpretation.
Accordingly, WAC 284-30-391 requires insurers itemize and explain
condition adjustments to either the loss vehicle or the comparable
vehicles.

The Judge also finds that First National's motion to dismiss the
Plaintiff's breach of contract claim should be denied.  While the
valuation report stated that it was reducing all three comparable
vehicles by the exact same amount ($936), construing all factual
allegations and conclusions in the Plaintiff's favor as the Court
must do for purposes of the motion, First National did not fully
itemize and explain the deduction.  The Complaint asserts that the
Plaintiff was damaged.

First National's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's claim for breach of
the duty of good faith and fair dealing should also be denied.  The
Judge finds that the allegations in the Plaintiff's Complaint, if
credited, raise sufficient questions regarding whether First
National's exercised its discretion in setting the settlement price
reasonably.

The Judge further finds that First National's motion to dismiss the
Plaintiff's CPA claim should be denied.  First National argues that
the Plaintiff bases his CPA claim on alleged violations of
284-30-391, and because it did not violate WAC 284-30-391, it did
not commit a per se violation of the CPA.  Construing all facts,
allegations and reasonable inferences in Plaintiff's favor, he
cannot find that First National did not violate WAC 284-30-91.

Finally, as to First National's asserttion that because all the
Plaintiff's claims fail due to its compliance with WAC 284-30-391,
the claims for declaratory and injunctive relief fail, the Judge
finds that at this stage in the litigation, First National's
compliance with WAC 284-30-391 is at issue.  Its motion to dismiss
the Plaintiff's claims for declaratory and injunctive relief should
be denied.

For the reasons described, Judge Bryan denied the Defendant's
Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
12 (b)(6).  He directed the Clerk to send uncertified copies of the
Order to all counsel of record and to any party appearing pro se at
said party's last known address.

GENERAL ELECTRIC: Kevin Mahar Sues over Stock Direct Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
KEVIN D. MAHAR, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, JEFFREY R.
IMMELT, JEFFREY S. BORNSTEIN, JAN R. HAUSER, JOHN L. FLANNERY,
DOUGLAS A. WARNER III, and KPMG LLP, the Defendants, Case No.
653648/2018 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., July 20, 2018), seeks to pursue
remedies under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of
1933.

The case is a class action on behalf of persons and entities that
purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of GE between July
20, 2015 and July 19, 2018, pursuant and/or traceable to the
Company's false and/or misleading registration statements and
prospectuses issued in connection with the GE Stock Direct Plan.

GE is a digital industrial company with products and services that
include aircraft engines, power generation, oil and gas production
equipment, medical imaging, and industrial products. GE is
organized across various business segments, including GE Capital
Corporation, the financial services unit of GE, and GE Power, a

including power plants, turbines, and generators.

GE operates a "GE Stock Direct" plan which allows investors to "buy

one-time $7.50 registration fee for the initial purchase. Persons
enrolled in GE Stock Direct receive an account in which their
shares are held, and receive certain benefits not available to
those outside the Plan, including the right to reinvest dividends
without any fee. Enrollees may also purchase additional shares
through GE Stock Direct.[BN]

GEO GROUP: Plaintiff Substitution in Migrant Detainees' Suit OK'd
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, CHAO CHEN, individually and on behalf of those
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. THE GEO GROUP, INC., Defendant,
Case No. 3:17-cv-05769-RJB (W.D. Wash.), Judge Robert J. Bryan of
the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington,
Tacoma, granted the Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Class
Action Complaint.

Chen seeks leave to amend his class action complaint to substitute
three individuals as named Plaintiffs and to withdraw Mr. Chen as a
named Plaintiff.  The proposed First Amended Class Action Complaint
for Damages introduces as the Plaintiffs three individuals:
Ugochukwu Goodluck Nwauzor, Fernando Aguirre-Urbina, and Fabiola
Alicia Camorlinga Cruz.  The second version of the First Amended
Class Action Complaint for Damages, filed in the Plaintiff's Reply,
drops Ms. Cruz as a named Plaintiff.  For purposes of considering
Plaintiff's motion, the Court will construe the second version as
the operative proposed complaint.

The proposed complaint adds two substantive paragraphs, which
provide detail about the two proposed Plaintiffs.  About Mr.
Nwauzor, the proposed complaint alleges that he resides in Kent,
Washington, was detained at the Northwest Detention Center from
approximately 2016 until January 2017, and is a Nigerian citizen
granted asylum by the United States in January of 2017.  About Mr.
Aguirre-Urbina, the proposed complaint alleges that he has been
detained since around September 2012 and is a citizen of Mexico.
Other than these two paragraphs, the proposed complaint is
identical to the Complaint, except for minor, non-substantive
changes, e.g., modifying the Complaint to reflect a plural, rather
than a singular, number of the Plaintiffs.

The Defendant is prejudiced, it argues, because the proposed
Plaintiffs cannot survive a motion for class certification and
should not be permitted to be used as placeholders. Judge Bryan
finds this as an argument on the merits of class certification,
which the Court has not reached.  Whether the proposed Plaintiffs
can survive a motion for class certification remains unresolved.
He finds only minimal prejudice to the Defendant.  He says he may
look askance at future efforts to amend the named Plaintiffs, but
presently, the Plaintiff has made the threshold showing that the
amendment is offered to reach the merits of the case.   

The Defendant argues that the Plaintiff has shown a lack of
diligence by the counsel's deficient preparation of Mr. Chao Chen's
class representation.  On the record shown, the Judge finds that
the Plaintiff's decisions are better characterized as tactical
decisions.  The Plaintiff has adjusted his strategy based on the
clients' needs and input.  The Defendant has not shown a lack of
diligence.

According to the Defendant, the Plaintiff acts in bad faith,
because counsel proposed, then withdrew, Ms. Cruz as a proposed
Plaintiff, and still proposes Mr. Aguirre-Urbina as a Plaintiff,
despite his known mental health issues.  The Judge holds that the
Defendant has not shown bad faith.  Ms. Cruz' decision to withdraw
is not within counsel's control.  Mr. Aguirre-Urbina's mental
health issues may -- or may not -- preclude his representation of
the proposed class, depending on their severity, but that question
should be resolved after his deposition and by the motion for class
certification.

Finally, the Defendant argues that amending the Complaint is
futile, because both proposed Plaintiffs have automatic
disqualifiers that preclude GEO from hiring them as 'employees,'
given their undocumented statuses.  The futility argument, accoring
to the Judge, is in part a rehash of the merits, and it assumes a
certain interpretation of the GEO-ICE contract.  The proposed
complaint alleges no more -- and no less -- plausible facts than
the Complaint.  

The balance of factors points to giving leave to amend.
Accordingly, Judge Bryan granted the Plaintiff's motion.  Plaintiff
Chao Chen may withdraw as a Plaintiff.  The Plaintiff is given
leave to file the First Amended Class Action Complaint for Damages,
which will henceforth be the operative complaint.  The Clerk is
directed to send uncertified copies of the Order to all the counsel
of record and to any party appearing pro se at said party's last
known address.

GLENCORE PLC: Wolf Haldenstein Files Class Action
-------------------------------------------------
Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP disclosed that  a federal
securities class action lawsuit  has been  filed in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey against
Glencore PLC ("Glencore" or the "Company") (OTCMKTS:GLNCY)
(OTCMKTS:GLNCF), on behalf of shareholders who purchased or
otherwise acquired Glencore American Depositary Receipts ("ADR's)
between September 30, 2016 through July 2, 2018, both dates
inclusive (the "Class Period").

Investors who have incurred losses in the ADR's  of Glencore PLC
are urged to contact the firm immediately at classmember@whafh.com
or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may obtain additional
information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com.

If  you  have  incurred  losses  in  the  ADR's of  Glencore PLC,
you may,  no later than September 7, 2018, request that the Court
appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class. Please contact
Wolf Haldenstein to learn more about your rights as an investor in
Glencore PLC.

The filed Complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false
and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

   -- Glencore's conduct would subject it to heightened scrutiny by
U.S. and foreign government bodies resulting in investigations into
the company's compliance with money laundering and bribery laws, as
well as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and

   -- as a result, defendants' statements about Glencore's
business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or
misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On July 3, 2018, Glencore disclosed receipt of a subpoena from the
United States (U.S) Department of Justice seeking documents and
other records related to Glencore's compliance with the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.S. money laundering statutes.
Glencore stated that the subpoena relates to its operations in
Nigeria, Venezuela, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Glencore  has  represented that the company "takes ethics and
compliance very seriously" and is "committed to complying with or
exceeding the laws and external requirements" applicable to its
operations and products.

On May 28, 2018, Bloomberg News reported that the United Kingdom's
Serious Fraud Office was preparing to investigate Glencore for
bribery in connection with Glencore's work with Israeli billionaire
Dan Gertler,  and the leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Subsequently, on July 3, 2018, Glencore disclosed that the U.S.
Department of Justice issued its subsidiary a subpoena to produce
documents and other records in connection with the company's
compliance with U.S. money laundering laws and the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act.

Since news of Glencore's troubles began to come to light,
Glencore's ADR (GLNCF) has fallen nearly 22% to close at $4.20 per
share on July 3, 2018.

HANSEN & ADKINS: 9th Cir. Appeal Filed in "Luna" FCRA Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiffs Leonard Luna and Ian Hall filed an appeal from a court
ruling in their lawsuit entitled Leonard Luna, et al. v. Hansen and
Adkins Auto Transport, Inc., et al., Case No.
8:17-cv-00990-DOC-KES, in the U.S. District Court for the Central
District of California, Santa Ana.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Honorable
David O. Carter granted the Plaintiffs' motion for class
certification.  The STANDALONE DOCUMENT CLASS consists of:

     All natural persons residing in the United States (including
     all territories and other political subdivisions of the
     United States) who were the subject of a consumer report or
     investigation that was procured by Defendant (or that
     Defendant caused to be procured) within five years of the
     filing of this Complaint through the date of final judgment
     in this action under FCRA, 15 U.S.C. Section 1681p.

The class action arises out of a single claim that Hansen & Adkins
violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by procuring (or causing to
be procured) consumer reports about Class Members for employment
purposes without first providing Class Members with a clear and
conspicuous disclosure in writing in a document that consists
solely of the disclosure.  Specifically, the Plaintiffs claim that
the Defendant routinely conducts background checks on all of its
job applicants as part of a standard screening process, without
providing those applicants with a stand-alone written disclosure
that clearly and conspicuously states that the Defendant may obtain

LA BOOM DISCO: Court Denies Bid to DQ TCPA Plaintiff's Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, RADAMES DURAN, Plaintiff, v. LA BOOM DISCO, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 17 CV 6331 (ARR) (CLP) (E.D. N.Y.), Magistrate
Judge Cheryl L. Pollak of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of New York denied the Defendant's request to disqualify
the Plaintiff's counsel due to a potential conflict of interest.

Duran filed the putative class action against the Defendant on Oct.
31, 2017, alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection
Act ("TCPA").  In recent filings, and during the telephone
conference held on June 13, 2018, the Defendant has raised the
issue of the Plaintiff's relationship with his counsel, suggesting
a potential conflict of interest that merits disqualification.

Specifically, the Defendant argues that the Plaintiff has testified
that he was hired by the Lee Litigation Law Firm in 2017, after
answering a help wanted ad seeking a Spanish speaking paralegal.
The Plaintiff is currently employed at this firm.  The Plaintiff is
a high school graduate who speaks Spanish but is not trained or
certified in paralegal work.

The Defendant's counsel wishes to depose the partner who recruited
the Plaintiff, to ascertain the Law Firm's motives (as evidenced by
prior lawsuits filed by the firm,) in hiring an unskilled
paralegal; who had an unified 'pending' possible TCPA claim against
its client, in order to determine and develop facts which may be
relevant, and to determine whether the civil matter was a product
of collusion, and or solicitation by the firm which would if true,
violate the ethical norms of practice.

The Plaintiff counters by explaining that he is employed as a
paralegal in the office of his counsel, Lee Litigation Group, PLLC.
The Defendant has described this as disturbing.  Yet by the
Defendant's own admission, the Plaintiff received his first
marketing text message from the Defendant in March 2016, nearly a
year and a half before he was hired at the Lee Litigation Group in
August 2017.  The firm had already been involved in other TCPA
litigation prior to this point.

While learning about the TCPA in the course of his official duties,
Duran discovered that his rights had been violated by the
Defendant, who was then unknown to the Plaintiff's counsel.  At
this point, it was natural that the Plaintiff would bring his case
to attorneys he trusted and who were familiar with the TCPA.

Based on the letters, Magistrate Judge Pollak is unable to discern
any conflict or other basis on which to disqualify the Plaintiff's
counsel.  She is unaware of any rule that makes it improper for a
law firm to represent its employee in circumstances such as these,
and the Defendant has not cited a single rule or case in support of
its contentions.  Moreover, she finds that the Defendant has
offered only sheer speculation, which is an insufficient showing
for the Court to permit further inquiry.  

The Magistrate Judge holds that if the Defendant truly believes
there is a valid conflict that would disqualify the Plaintiff's
counsel from representing him in the action; the Defendant may file
a letter motion setting forth the factual and legal bases, along
with supporting case law, that would merit disqualification, or
even further inquiry into the matter.  Based on the facts currently
before the Court, however, the Defendant's request is denied.

The Clerk is directed to send copies of the Order to the parties
either electronically through the Electronic Case Filing system or
by mail.

A full-text copy of the Court's June 13, 2018 Memorandum and Order
is available at https://is.gd/4Hyzmj from Leagle.com.

MONSANTO COMPANY: Migliaccio Appeals Order in "Rawa" Class Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Objector James Migliaccio filed an appeal from the District Court's
Memorandum & Order entered on May 25, 2018, in the lawsuit styled
Joshua Rawa, et al. v. Monsanto Company, Case Nos.
4:17-cv-01252-AGF and 4:17-cv-02300-AGF, in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the case
alleges that label instructions that say the "up to" the amount
displayed on the front of the container was deceptive because that
statement was based on a mixing instruction "buried" inside the
booklet label rather than on the front of the back booklet label.
The Plaintiffs say that "reasonable consumers" would not see it
before buying because they would not feel they were permitted to
open the booklet label before purchase.  They claim the practice
violates the Missouri Merchandise Practices Act.

The appellate case is captioned as Joshua Rawa, et al. v. James
Migliaccio, Case No. 18-2346, in the United States Court of Appeals
for the Eighth Circuit.

The briefing schedule in the Appellate Case is set as follows:

NORTHSTAR LOCATION: Tucker Sues over Debt Collection Practices
--------------------------------------------------------------
MELISSA TUCKER, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. NORTHSTAR LOCATION SERVICES, LLC, the
Defendant, Case No. 6:18-cv-00356 (E.D. Tex., July 20, 2018), seeks
to recover actual and statutory damages, costs, and reasonable
attorneys' fees under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiff is a natural person
allegedly obligated to pay a debt asserted to be owed to a creditor
other than Defendants. On or about April 6, 2018, Northstar sent
the Plaintiff a collection letter. The alleged debt was originally
allegedly owed to TD Auto Finance LLC and was incurred only for
personal, family or household purposes. Defendants' language reads
like an infomercial, attempting to pressure Plaintiff to "take
advantage" of a settlement offer, as if it is the only time it will
be offered.

The letters would not have been sent to Plaintiff for any purpose
other than debt collection. The Plaintiff suffered injury-in-fact
by being subjected to unfair and abusive practices of the
Defendant. The Plaintiff suffered actual harm by being the target
of the Defendants' misleading debt collection communications. The
Defendants violated the Plaintiff's right not to be the target of
misleading debt collection communications. Defendant used
materially false, deceptive, misleading representations and means
in its attempted collection of Plaintiff's alleged debt.[BN]

ONE KINGS: Hurst Sues over False Reference Prices
-------------------------------------------------
ELIZABETH HURST, Individually, As a Private Attorney General,
and/or On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff,
v. ONE KINGS LANE LLC; ONE KINGS LANE INC.; BED BATH & BEYOND INC.;
and DOES 1-20, inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. CGC-18-568256
(Cal. Super. Ct., July 20, 2018), seeks an order to disgorge all
revenues Defendants have unjustly received from proposed Class due
to their intentional and unlawful pattern and practice of using
false reference prices.

According to the complaint, Bed Bath & Beyond is liable for the
misconduct of One Kings Lane which occurred before the acquisition
and is liable for that lesser quantum of misconduct which continued
and continues to occur. In acquiring One Kings Lane and in
converting it into a mere instrumentality of the larger
corporation, Bed Bath & Beyond made its bed, and now Bed Bath & 8
Beyond must lie in it.

As a direct and proximate result of these violations, Plaintiff
Elizabeth Hurst and the proposed Class have suffered injury in fact
and lost money. They paid more than they otherwise would have paid
for the products they purchased from One Kings Lane. One Kings
Lane's false reference pricing scheme fraudulently increased demand
for its products, enabling it to charge higher prices than it
otherwise could have charged.

One Kings Lane is a home decor business that operates a furniture
and home accessories sales website. It was founded by Ali Pincus
and Susan Feldman in March 2009.[BN]

PENNSYLVANIA: Hawkins Files Suit v. SEPTA Over Delayed Payments
---------------------------------------------------------------
FREDERICK HAWKINS, JR., D.O., on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated v. SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY, Case No. 180603427 (Pa. Com. Pleas, Philadelphia Cty.,
June 27, 2018), alleges that SEPTA frequently pays medical benefits
to providers well after they become due, selectively picks and
chooses which providers to pay in a timely fashion, and never pays
the statutorily mandated interest owed on any overdue benefits.

Frederick Hawkins, D.O., is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine,
licensed to practice medicine in the state of Pennsylvania and
whose practice is located in Philadelphia.  During the relevant
time period, the Plaintiff provided medical services to persons
injured in motor vehicle accidents, who were entitled to covered
benefits payable directly to the Plaintiff by the Defendant.

SEPTA is a municipal transportation authority organized and
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with
its principal place of business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
SEPTA is a self-insurer and is not only required to directly pay
providers of medical services for its insureds with respect to
injuries arising out of automobile accidents, but also required to
pay interest at 12% per annum for interest on all "overdue
benefits."[BN]

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS: Appeals Decision in Jones Suit to 3rd Cir.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Defendant Samsung Electronics America Inc. filed an appeal from a
court ruling in the lawsuit styled Brittany Jones v. Samsung
Electronics America Inc., Case No. 2-17-cv-00571, in the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on June 12, 2018, the
District Court has denied Samsung's effort to arbitrate a proposed
class action over allegations that one of its phones has a tendency
to overheat and catch fire.

Judge Michael Ponsor on May 21 denied Samsung's motions to either
send the class action to arbitration, or dismiss the claims
entirely.  Although the phone maker had pushed for arbitration,
noting that lead plaintiff Brittany Jones never opted out of the
Company's arbitration agreement, Judge Ponsor said the agreement
and opt-out language were too inconspicuously buried in the phone's
informational manual to be enforceable.

The appellate case is captioned as Brittany Jones v. Samsung
Electronics America Inc., Case No. 18-2379, in the United States
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[BN]

SPOTIFY USA: Saunders-Thomas Appeals Ruling in Ferrick Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Phynjuar Saunders-Thomas filed an appeal from a court ruling in the
lawsuit titled Melissa Ferrick, et al. v. Spotify USA Inc., Case
No. 16-cv-8412, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York (New York City).

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, in early
August 2017, Spotify settled a major class action lawsuit to the
tune of $43.5 million.  The lawsuit was filed by Melissa Ferrick
and David Lowery on behalf of songwriters and publishers everywhere
alleging that the music streaming site had made thousands of songs
available to stream without the proper license.

On December 1, 2017, the final hearing was held and unfortunately
for Spotify, who pushed for final approval of the settlement
amount, two other rights holders filed objections that the damages
for each composition streamed was insufficient.  Under current
settlement terms, the writers of compositions that have been
streamed between zero and 100 times would receive a minimum
payment, while the rest of the money would be divided on a pro rata
basis.

The appellate case is captioned as Melissa Ferrick, et al. v.
Spotify USA Inc., Case No. 18-1868, in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit.[BN]

SPOTIFY USA: Silverman Appeals Ferrick Suit Settlement Order
------------------------------------------------------------
Objector Tracy Silverman filed an appeal from the District Court's
Memorandum Opinion & Order, dated May 22, 2018, and Corrected Order
and Final Judgment Approving Class Action Settlement, dated May 22,
2018, in the lawsuit entitled Melissa Ferrick, et al. v. Spotify
USA Inc., Case No. 16-cv-8412, in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York (New York City).

The appellate case is captioned as Melissa Ferrick, et al. v.
Spotify USA Inc., Case No. 18-1864, in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on June 21, 2018, the
District Court finalized the $113 million class action settlement
between music streamer Spotify USA Inc. and more than 500,000
owners of copyrights in musical compositions.

The May 22 ruling comes as Congress considers legislation to ease
the music licensing and royalty system for streaming services.  If
it passes, the legislation could end a liability headache for
Spotify as it begins its life as a public company.  The legislative
fix also would ease the way for competitors like Apple Music,
Amazon Prime, and Google Play, together seen as the main source of
income for music creators.

About 1,200 potential class members objected to the deal and opted
out, but the District Court concluded the settlement was fair,
reasonable, and adequate, as required by class action law.

The lawsuit accused Spotify of streaming music without properly
securing licenses and paying royalties.  Spotify settled a similar
lawsuit by the National Music Publishers Association for $30
million in 2016.[BN]

STEADYMED LTD: "Hoover" Securities Suit Challenges Sale to United
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AUSTRALIA A. HOOVER, Individually and on Behalf of All Others
Similarly Situated v. STEADYMED LTD, KEITH BANK, JONATHAN M.N.
RIGBY, RON GINOR, DONALD D. HUFFMAN, ELIZABETH CERMAK, STEPHEN J.
FARR, and BRIAN J. STARK, Case No. 3:18-cv-03841 (N.D. Cal., June
27, 2018), accuses the Defendants of violating of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the proposed acquisition of
SteadyMed by United Therapeutics Corporation.

On April 29, 2018, the Board of Directors caused the Company to
enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which each
ordinary share of SteadyMed will be converted into the right to
receive (a) $4.46 in cash, without interest and less any applicable
withholding taxes with respect to such cash consideration and the
CVR ("Closing Cash Consideration"), plus (b) one contractual
contingent value right (each, a "CVR" which will be subject to the
Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the "CVR Agreement")), and which
will represent the right to receive $2.63 in cash, without interest
and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the achievement of
a specified "Milestone" (collectively the "Buyout Price").

The complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the defendants
from completing the announced proposed merger transaction.

SteadyMed, incorporated on June 15, 2005, is an Israeli corporation
and maintains its headquarters in San Ramon, California.  The
Individual Defendants are directors and officers of the Company.

SteadyMed is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of various therapeutic product
candidates to treat orphan and high-value diseases with unmet
parenteral delivery needs.  The Company's primary focus is to
obtain approval in the United States for the sale of Trevyent for
the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).  The
Company is also developing two products for the treatment of
post-surgical and acute pain in the home setting, which include
bupivacaine PatchPump for local anesthesia post-surgery and
ketorolac PatchPump for short-term management of moderately severe
acute pain.[BN]

Consumer Plaintiffs, Plaintiff-Appellee, Target Corporation,
Defendant-Appellee, Case Nos. 15-3909, 15-3912, 16-1203, 16-1245,
16-1408 (8th Cir.), Judge Bobby Shepherd of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's (i)
re-certification of the class after, and (ii) approval of the
settlement agreement.

In 2015, the district court certified a class of all persons in the
United States whose credit or debit card information and/or whose
personal information was compromised as a result of the data breach
that was first disclosed by Target on Dec. 19, 2013.  As has become
common, the class was certified solely for the purpose of entering
into a settlement agreement.  The parties presented such an
agreement to the court in short order.

Under the terms of the agreement, Target agreed to pay $10 million
to settle the claims of all the class members and waived its right
to appeal an award of attorney's fees less than or equal to $6.75
million.  For those class members with documented proof of loss,
the agreement called for full compensation of their actual losses
up to $10,000 per claimant.  For those class members with
undocumented losses, the agreement directed a pro rata distribution
of the amounts remaining after payments to documented-loss
claimants and class representatives. Additionally, Target agreed to
implement a number of data-security measures and to pay all class
notice and administration expenses.

There were two primary objectors to the court's certification of
the class and approval of the settlement agreement: Leif Olson and
Jim Sciaroni.  In the original appeal of the matter, Olson argued
that the court failed to conduct the appropriate pre-certification
analysis, and Sciaroni objected to the court's approval of the
settlement.  The Appellate Court agreed with Olson's argument and
therefore remanded to the district court without considering
Sciaroni's objections.

On remand, the court again certified the class.  Olson appeals that
decision, claiming the district court factually misunderstood the
settlement agreement and failed to account for a number of alleged
conflicts of interest between the class counsel and the class
members and among competing subgroups of class members.  In
addition, Sciaroni's original objections to the settlement are
before the Court.

Addressing Olson's first argument, Judge Shepherd finds that the
court had already determined that no intraclass conflict existed
four pages prior to making the statements, so it stretches
credulity to assert that its conclusion depended on a statement
made thereafter.  The Judge holds that he needs not define at what
point an erroneous factual statement constitutes reversible error.
In the case, it was obvious that the district court did not rely on
an erroneous understanding of the settlement, and thus no abuse of
discretion occurred.

As to Olson's second argument, the Judge finds that the case has a
discrete and identified class that has suffered a harm the extent
of which has largely been ascertained.  Thus, similar to the mass
tort cases the Supreme Court discussed in Amchem Prods., Inc. v.
Windsor, the case has one accident -- the data breach -- that
caused a series of events leading to the Plaintiffs' injuries.  But
all the class members had the ability to register for credit
monitoring, and all of the compromised payment cards undoubtedly
were cancelled and replaced by the issuing banks.  Any risk of
future harm is therefore entirely speculative, which is perhaps
best illustrated by Olson's inability to direct the court -- even
generally -- to a concrete type of future harm that the settlement
fails to consider.

The Judge says it is hypothetically possible that a member of the
zero-loss subclass will suffer some future injury; for example, a
line of credit could be opened using the personal information
compromised in the breach.  But this is just as likely to happen to
a member of the subclass with documented losses.  Accordingly, the
interests of the two subclasses are more congruent than disparate,
and there is no fundamental conflict requiring separate
representation.  The district court therefore did not abuse its
discretion in certifying the class.

Having found the district court properly certified the class, the
Judge turns to Sciaroni's challenges to the district court's
original order concerning the settlement in the case. Sciaroni
first launches a two-fold challenge to the court's award of
attorney's fees, arguing at the outset that the court erred by
considering the costs of notice and administration expenses as a
benefit to the class and then challenging the overall
reasonableness of the award.  Next, he contends that the court
erred in approving the settlement.

Judge Shepherd holds that the district court did not abuse its
discretion.  Indeed, despite the brevity of its reasoning on other
questions, the court gave a carefully reasoned and complete
analysis of all four Van Horn factors.  On the first, it accurately
noted the uphill battle facing the plaintiffs if this litigation
were to proceed: standing issues being the most prevalent given the
glaring fact that most of the plaintiffs suffered no concrete
injury as a result of the breach.

Weighed against this consideration, the monetary and non-monetary
relief offered under the settlement likely offers the plaintiffs
the only conceivable remedies they could expect.  It thus is
unclear why Sciaroni strenuously argues that the non-monetary
relief is inadequate, especially in light of his concession that
while some class members filed a claim, the vast majority of the
millions of the class members are entitled only to injunctive
relief.  Accordingly, because he has not demonstrated that the
settlement was unfair or inequitable, te Judge will affirm the
court's approval of the settlement agreement.

For the aforementioned reasons, Judge Shepher affirmed the rulings
of the district court.

TJX COMPANIES: Cochran Appeals Decision in "Chester" Class Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Objector Barbara S. Cochran filed an appeal from a court ruling in
the lawsuit styled Staci Chester, et al. v. The TJX Companies,
Inc., et al., Case No. 5:15-cv-01437-ODW-DTB, in the U.S. District
Court for the Central District of California, Riverside.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, Judge Otis D.
Wright, II, granted the Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion for
Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and Certification
of Settlement Class.

In the operative Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, filed
on Sept. 3, 2015, the Plaintiffs allege that from July 17, 2011, to
the present, the Defendants have engaged in a deceptive scheme
advertising "sale" prices that were substantially lower than the
advertised "Compare At" prices for the products sold in the
Defendants' stores.  They further allege that the higher Compare At
prices were deceptive because they were not based on actual prices
that identical items sold for either in the Defendants' stores or
other retailers, and that Defendants failed to adequately disclose
to consumers what its Compare At reference prices were intended to
represent.  The Plaintiffs raise claims under California Business &
Professions Code Section 17200, Section 17500, False Advertising
Law, and California Civil Code Section 1750, California Consumer
Legal Remedies Act.

The parties' Settlement Agreement provides that TJX will contribute
$8,500,000, in return for a release of claims against TJX.  The
Monetary Component will be used to pay: (i) the actual costs
incurred in providing notice of the settlement to the Class Members
and the administration thereof, but not to exceed $1,000,000; (ii)
the award of reasonable attorneys' fees for the class counsel, not
to exceed 25% of the Monetary Component, plus costs, not to exceed
$50,000; and (iii) an incentive award to each class representative
in the amount of $7,500.

SMITH, TERESA J. TANNER, and JEAN L. WOJTOWICZ, Case No.
1:18-cv-02263-SEB-TAB (S.D. Ind., July 24, 2018), stems from a

regarding the Proposed Transaction fails to disclose material
information that is necessary for shareholders to properly assess
the fairness of the Proposed Transaction, thereby rendering certain
statements in the Proxy incomplete and misleading.

WAL-MART ASSOCIATES: Seeks to Decertify Meal Period Class
---------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit entitled RODERICK MAGADIA, individually and on
behalf of all those similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. WAL-MART
ASSOCIATES, INC., a Delaware corporation; WAL-MART STORES, INC., a
Delaware corporation; and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, the
Defendants, Case No. 5:17-cv-00062-LHK (N.D. Cal.), the Defendants
ask the Court for an order decertifying the Meal Period Class.

The Court certified Plaintiff's meal period premium claim based on
Plaintiff's representation that Walmart's investigation records
would allow the Court to readily identify which associates were
legally entitled to a meal premium. Because discovery has now shown
that this assumption was incorrect and that determining who is
legally entitled to a meal period premium will require
individualized inquiries that will overwhelm any common questions,
the Court should decertify the Meal Period Premium Class, Wal-Mart
argued.
