AETNA INC: Court Enters Stipulated Protective Order in KCC Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge John E. McDermott of the U.S. District Court for
the Central District of California, Western Division, has entered
the parties' Stipulated Qualified Protective Order in the case, KCC
CLASS ACTION SERVICES, LLC, Plaintiff, v. AETNA, INC., Defendant,
Case No. 2:18-CV-1018-JFW-JEM (C.D. Cal.).

AFNI INC: Vlasak Moves for Class Certification Under Damasco
------------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer Vlasak moves the Court to certify the class described in
the complaint of the lawsuit captioned JENNIFER VLASAK,
Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v.
AFNI, INC., Case No. 2:19-cv-01209 (E.D. Wisc.), and further asks
that the Court both stay the motion for class certification and to
grant the Plaintiff (and the Defendant) relief from the Local Rules
setting automatic briefing schedules and requiring briefs and
supporting material to be filed with the Motion.

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

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

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,
the Plaintiff tells the Court, citing Fulton Dental, LLC v. Bisco,
Inc., No. 16-3574, 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 10839 *9-10 (7th Cir. June
20, 2017).  The Plaintiff asserts that one defendant has attempted
a similar tactic by sending a certified check to the proposed class
representative. Bonin v. CBS Radio, Inc., No. 16-cv-674-CNC (E.D.
Wis.); see also Severns v. Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut,
Inc., Case No. 15-cv-1168, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23164 (E.D. Wis.
Feb. 24, 2016).

The Plaintiff is obligated to move for class certification to
protect the interests of the putative class, the Plaintiff avers.

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

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

ALL NATION HOME: Parties File Joint Stipulation to Resolve Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
The parties in the lawsuit styled DENIQUIA STEVENS, on behalf of
herself and others similarly situated v. ALL NATION HOME
HEALTHCARE, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-02364-JLG-KAJ (S.D. Ohio), file
with the Court their stipulation and proposed order for conditional
certification, notice, due diligence exchange and mediation.

The Parties believe they can avoid substantial litigation costs by
entering into certain stipulations, exchanging due diligence
materials, and negotiating a global settlement.  Therefore, subject
to the Court's approval, the parties stipulate and consent to the
entry of the stipulation as an order of the Court.  The stipulated
matters consist of (1) conditional certification of the case as a
collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.
Section 216(b), on behalf of Plaintiff and others similarly
situated, as defined, (2) provisions regarding the distribution of
notice to potential opt-ins, (3) informal exchange of documents and
information between the parties enabling them to conduct due
diligence regarding the claims and issues, and (4) the exploration
of settlement.

The Parties stipulate that this case may be conditionally certified
by the Court as a collective action under Section 216(b) on behalf
of Plaintiffs and others similarly situated, defined as:

     All former and current Home Health Aides, or similar home
     care providers with different job titles, who worked more
     than 40 hours in one or more workweeks during the period of
     three (3) years preceding the Complaint filing date and
     through the present (the "Collective Class Members").

The Parties will jointly file a proposed plan for notice which
shall include (i) the form of the proposed notice, (ii) the
compilation of a roster of present and former employees to whom the
notice will be sent, and (iii) logistical details of the
distribution.

First, however, the Parties ask the Court to postpone notice so
that the proposed due-diligence exchange and settlement discussions
can take place.  If the discussion is unsuccessful, the Parties
will engage the services of a mediator.  If the Parties are
ultimately unable to settle this case, they will jointly ask the
Court to approve a notice informing potential opt-ins of this case
and enabling them to participate.

For purposes of due diligence, the Parties will exchange documents
and information on or before October 31, 2019, as follows:

   (a) the Defendant will provide, in Excel format, a spreadsheet
       identifying, by dates of employment, all Collective Class
       Members during the period beginning three years preceding
       the filing of this stipulation and the present; and

   (b) the Defendant will provide, in Excel format, time, payroll
       and other data for all Collective Class Members, showing
       their base hourly wages for each workweek, the amount of
       regular and overtime hours worked during each workweek,
       and the amount and dates of wages paid.

Following the due diligence exchange, the Parties will engage in
settlement discussions.  If those discussions are unsuccessful, the
Parties will engage in mediation with a mediator selected by mutual
consent.  The Parties agree that applicable statutes of limitations
shall be tolled from the date of the filing of this stipulation and
proposed order.[CC]

ALLERGAN PLC: Appeal in Testosterone Replacement Suit Ongoing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Allergan plc said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2019, that the appeal in Testosterone Replacement
Therapy Class Action remains pending.

Subsidiaries of the Company were named in a class action complaint
filed on behalf a putative class of third-party payers in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The suit
alleges that the Company's subsidiaries violated various laws
including the federal the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations (RICO)statute and state consumer protection laws in
connection with the sale and marketing of Androderm(R).

The class plaintiffs seek to obtain certain equitable relief,
including injunctive relief and an order requiring restitution
and/or disgorgement, and to recover damages and multiple damages in
an unspecified amount.

While the lawsuit is ongoing, the court has denied plaintiff's
class certification motion. On February 14, 2019, the court granted
Defendants' motion for summary judgment, dismissing the case in its
entirety.   

On June 12, 2019, plaintiffs/appellants filed their opening brief
in the Seventh Circuit. Appellees' Seventh Circuit brief was filed
on July 17, 2019.

Allergan plc, a pharmaceutical company, develops, manufactures, and
commercializes branded pharmaceutical, device, biologic, surgical,
and regenerative medicine products worldwide. The company operates
in three segments: US Specialized Therapeutics, US General
Medicine, and International. The company was formerly known as
Actavis plc and changed its name to Allergan plc in June 2015.
Allergan plc was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Dublin,
Ireland.


AMERICAN CORADIUS: Taylor Sues Over Confusing Collection Letter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rozell Taylor, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. American Coradius International, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-04890-LDH-VMS (E.D. N.Y., Aug. 27,
2019) seeks to recover for violations of the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act.

In its efforts to collect an alleged Debt, Defendant contacted
Plaintiff by letter dated August 28, 2018. The Letter conveyed
information regarding the alleged Debt. A debt collector has the
obligation not just to convey the name of the creditor to whom the
debt is owed, but also to convey such clearly and such explicitly.


According to the complaint, the Letter fails to identify by name
and label any entity as "current creditor," "account owner," or
"creditor to whom the debt is owed." Instead, the Letter sets forth
three disparate entities: "Synchrony Bank"; "PayPal Credit"; and
"Bill Me Later, Inc." The Letter further states, "This account has
been placed with our office for collection."

The Letter fails to indicate who placed the account with Defendant,
notes the complaint. It fails to indicate who the Defendant
represents and who the Defendant's client is.  The least
sophisticated consumer would likely be confused as to whether the
creditor to whom the debt is owed is "Synchrony Bank," "PayPal
Credit," "Bill Me Later, Inc.," or Defendant. The Defendant
violated the FDCPA as it failed to clearly and explicitly convey
the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed, says the
complaint.

Plaintiff Rozell Taylor is a natural person allegedly obligated to
pay a debt.

Defendant is regularly engaged, for profit, in the collection of
debts allegedly owed by consumers.[BN]

AMPCO-PITTSBURGH: Settlement in Employees Suit Finally Approved
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the settlement
agreement in the retired employees' suit has been finally
approved.

In February 2017, the Corporation, its indirect subsidiary Akers
National Roll Company, as well as the Akers National Roll Company
Health & Welfare Benefits Plan were named as defendants in a class
action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, where the plaintiffs (currently
retired former employees of Akers National Roll Company and the
United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy,
Allied Industrial, and Service Workers International Union,
AFL-CIO) alleged that the defendants breached collective bargaining
agreements and violated the benefit plan by modifying medical
benefits of the plaintiffs and similarly situated retirees.

The defendants moved to dismiss the case, and plaintiffs petitioned
the court to compel arbitration. On June 13, 2017, the District
Court compelled arbitration and denied the defendants' motion to
dismiss as moot. Defendants appealed this decision to the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals on June 21, 2017. The Third Circuit Court
of Appeals reversed the District Court's decision to compel
arbitration on August 29, 2018.

The plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing, which was denied.

Rather than litigating the merits of the case at the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, the
Corporation reached a settlement agreement in principle with the
plaintiffs, which approved by the court on July 22, 2019.

Ampco-Pittsburgh said, "As expected, the final resolution of this
settlement agreement did not have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital
resources."

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation manufactures engineered equipment. The
Company produces finned tube heat exchange coils, large standard
and custom air handling systems, centrifugal pumps, feed screws,
hardened steel rolls, and heat transfer rolls. Ampco's products are
used in the construction, power generation, refrigeration, chemical
processing, marine defense, and steel industries. The company is
based in Carnegie, Pennsylvania.

ASSOCIATED PHARMACIES: Insurer Removes Case to N.D. Alabama
-----------------------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company removed the case captioned
AMERICAN ASSOCIATED PHARMACIES; and ASSOCIATED PHARMACIES, INC.,
the Plaintiffs, vs. PHILADELPHIA INDEMNITY INSURANCE COMPANY, the
Defendant, Case No. CV-2019-900154 (Filed July 9, 2019), from the
Circuit Court of Jackson County, Alabama, to the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Alabama on Aug. 13,
2019. The Northern District of Alabama Court Clerk assigned Case
No. 5:19-cv-01295-CLS to the proceeding.

Philadelphia Indemnity issued an insurance policy to AAP, Policy
No. PHSD662532, effective dates September 1, 2011 – September 1,
2012. Policy No. PHSD662532 provides claims-made coverage.

In 2012, a lawsuit styled State of West Virginia v. Associated
Pharmacies, Inc., et al, was filed against API in the Circuit Court
of Boone County, WV, Civil Action No. 12- C-141. Philadelphia
Indemnity provided coverage for this suit. This suit was settled
with Philadelphia Indemnity funding the settlement. AAP and API
contend approximately $4,000,000 in policy limits remain on Policy
No. PHSD662532.

Philadelphia Indemnity issued an insurance policy to AAP, Policy
No. PHSD1276309, effective dates September 1, 2017 - September 1,
2018. Policy No. PHSD1276309 provides claims-made coverage. Policy
No. PHSD1276309 contains a REGULATORY SUBLIMIT endorsement.

AAP and API contend the 2018 Opioid Suits arise out of the same
alleged Wrongful Act or series of the same, similar or related
Wrongful Acts as the 2012 lawsuit, State of West Virginia v.
Associated AAP and/or API have subsequently been named in
approximately 60 additional opioid-related lawsuits that are part
of the MDL. These suits are cumulatively referred to as the "2018
Opioid Suits."

The Plaintiffs have been damaged as a direct and proximate result
of this civil conspiracy, and Plaintiffs demand compensatory
damages and punitive damages.[BN]

AVERY TECHNICAL: Robertson Seeks Proper Wages
---------------------------------------------
ZACHARIAH ROBERTSON, Individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. AVERY TECHNICAL RESOURCES, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-02408 (D. Colo., Aug. 23, 2019) is a
collective action seeking to recover additional overtime wages and
other damages owed to workers.

Avery Technical Resources, Inc., pays its hourly employees a daily
per diem in addition to an hourly rate of pay. The per diem
represents compensation that is primarily for the benefit and
convenience of Avery hourly employees. As a result, the Fair Labor
Standards Act requires that this type of compensation be included
in the calculation of the regular rate of pay for overtime
purposes. Because the per diem was not used in calculating the
regular rate of pay, Avery hourly employees were not properly
compensated at the FLSA overtime rate of one-and-one-half times
their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty
hours in a single week, notes the complaint.

Plaintiff Zachariah Robertson worked for Avery as an
hourly-employee during the relevant statutory time period.

Avery is an oilfield service company operating that "provides
quality inspection and project management services in today's
energy industry".[BN]

BAPTIST HEALTH: Smith Seeks Overtime Pay for Medical Staff
----------------------------------------------------------
MELISSA SMITH, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the PLAINTIFF, vs. BAPTIST HEALTH and PARKWAY HEALTH
CENTER, INC., the DEFENDANT, Case No. 4:19-cv-00600-BRW (E.D. Ark.,
Aug. 26, 2019), seeks for declaratory judgment, monetary damages,
liquidated damages, prejudgment interest, and costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, as a result of Defendants' failure to
pay Plaintiff and all other hourly-paid employees lawful overtime
compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week under
the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Arkansas Minimum Wage Act.

The case is a collective action brought by Plaintiff Melissa Smith,
individually and on behalf of all employees who performed work at
varying rates of pay for Defendants at any time within a three-year
period preceding the filing of the complaint.

The Plaintiff was employed by Defendants within the past three
years as an hourly-paid employee. The basic duties of Plaintiff and
other similarly situated employees included, but were not limited
to, administering medicine; responding to patient requests such as
help with daily chores; treatments for injuries; daily rotating
assignments such as cleaning wheelchairs or cleaning the dining
room.

The Defendants have deprived Plaintiff and all others similarly
situated of a proper overtime premium for all hours they worked in
excess of 40 hours in a week, the lawsuit says.

Baptist Health owns and operates Defendant Parkway Health Center in
Little Rock, Arkansas.[BN]

Drive Columbus, OH 43230, the Defendants, Case No.
2:19-cv-03706-JLG-CMV (S.D. Ohio, Aug. 26, 2019), challenges the
policies and practices of Defendants that violate the Fair Labor
Standards Act.

Although Defendants suffered and permitted Plaintiff and other
members of the FLSA Collective and Ohio Class to work more than 40
hours per workweek, the Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff and
other members of the FLSA Collective and Ohio Class overtime at a
rate of one and one half times the regular rate of pay for all
hours worked over 40 in a workweek. As a result, Plaintiff and
other members of the FLSA Collective and Ohio Class were not paid
overtime for their overtime hours worked as required by the FLSA
and Ohio law.

CAPITAL ONE: Baisden et al. Sue over Breach of Personal Data
------------------------------------------------------------
MICHELLE BAISDEN; NATALIE ROSSI; SCOTT ROSSI; and PATRICIA MURPHY,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION; CAPITAL ONE N.A.;
and CAPITAL ONE BANK (USA) N.A., Defendants, Case No. 3:19-cv-00623
(W.D. Wis., Aug. 7, 2019) is an action against the Defendants for
their failure to safeguard the Plaintiffs and the class' sensitive
personal information.

On March 22 and 23, 2019, Capital One's data stored on the
third-party data storage service was accessed by someone who was
not authorized to access that data. This person, a 'hacker'
identified online by the username "erratic," used computer commands
to obtain information about the types of data Capital One stored on
the servers, and to extract data from Capital One's files on those
servers. The user, "erratic" was successfully able to obtain this
information. Evidence that this had been done was able to be
located after the actions were taken. Capital One would not
discover these actions until July 17, 2019.

As a result of Capital One's failure to detect the data breaches,
and then failure to promptly notify affected individuals, and
failure to specify which information related to which applicants
had been compromised, and failure to provide specific remedies for
affected individuals, the Plaintiffs and the class members they
represent are unable to determine whether they are affected, and to
what degree, and accordingly have to take steps to protect
themselves even if ultimately they learn that their data was not
leaked as a result of this breach.

Capital One Financial Corporation provides commercial banking
services. The Bank accepts deposits and offers personal credit
cards, investment products, loans, and online banking services.

CAPITAL ONE: Potts Sues over Data Breach
----------------------------------------
STEPHANIE POTTS, the Plaintiff, vs. CAPITAL ONE, N.A. and CAPITAL
ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION and CAPITAL ONE BANK (USA), N.A., the
Defendant, Case No. 3:19-cv-01001-DNH-ML (N.D.N.Y., Aug. 13, 2019),
seeks monetary damages, restitution and declaratory relief from
Defendants, arising from a data breach announced to the public on
July 29, 2019.

From approximately March 12 to July 17 of 2019, the sensitive
financial and personal data of an unknown number of customers was
compromised as a result of Capital One's failure to adequately
secure individual's personal and financial information on its
systems.

During that period of time, an unauthorized person, identified as
Paige Thompson of the State of Washington, intruded upon servers
controlled by Capital One through a vendor of Capital One called
Amazon Web Services, Inc. ("AWS"), division of Amazon, which
provides cloud computing services to Capital One. Ms. Paige worked
for AWS as a systems engineer from 2015 to 2016.

Ms. Thompson, who communicates online under the name 'ERRATIC,' was
arrested on July 29, 2019 and is accused of the data breach by the
FBI. She was able to intrude into Capital One's servers and
exfiltrate customers' sensitive financial and personal data.
.
According to Capital One, 106 million people had their personal
information stolen, including 100 million U.S. residents and 6
million Canadian residents who had, or applied for, Capital One
accounts. The breach exposed 40,000 Social Security numbers and
about 80,000 linked bank account numbers. The scope of the breach
is massive. The bank says it became aware of it on July 19, the
lawsuit says.

While Ms. Thompson was the perpetrator of the breach, its
occurrence was inevitable. Capital One's systemic incompetence and
a longstanding, lackluster approach to data security has existed
within the company for years and is ingrained in its culture from
the top down. Capital One's failure to seriously address data
security persisted despite warnings by outside cybersecurity
experts, the occurrence of other data breaches at Capital One and
other numerous, high-profile data breaches at other major American
corporations, including Equifax, all of which should have alerted
Capital One of the need to revamp and enhance its inadequate data
security practices.

Capital One is a national bank incorporated in the State of
Virginia with its principal place of business in McLean,
Virginia.[BN]

CENTRAL RESEARCH: Certification of Class Sought in Vlasak Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer Vlasak moves the Court to certify the class described in
the complaint of the lawsuit titled JENNIFER VLASAK, Individually
and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. CENTRAL RESEARCH,
INC., Case No. 2:19-cv-01207-WED (E.D. Wisc.), and further asks
that the Court both stay the motion for class certification and to
grant the Plaintiff (and the Defendant) relief from the Local Rules
setting automatic briefing schedules and requiring briefs and
supporting material to be filed with the Motion.

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

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

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,
the Plaintiff tells the Court, citing Fulton Dental, LLC v. Bisco,
Inc., No. 16-3574, 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 10839 *9-10 (7th Cir. June
20, 2017).  The Plaintiff asserts that one defendant has attempted
a similar tactic by sending a certified check to the proposed class
representative. Bonin v. CBS Radio, Inc., No. 16-cv-674-CNC (E.D.
Wis.); see also Severns v. Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut,
Inc., Case No. 15-cv-1168, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23164 (E.D. Wis.
Feb. 24, 2016).

The Plaintiff is obligated to move for class certification to
protect the interests of the putative class, the Plaintiff
asserts.

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

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

CENTRAL RESEARCH: Court Stays Bid for Class certification
---------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit styled as JENNIFER VLASAK, the
Plaintiff, v. CENTRAL RESEARCH, INC., Defendant, Case No.
19-CV-1207 (E.D. Wisc.), the Hon. Judge William E. Duffin entered
an order on Aug. 27, 2019, granting Plaintiff's motion to stay
further proceedings on the motion for class certification.

On August 20, 2019, the plaintiff filed a class action complaint.
At the same time, she filed what the court commonly refers to as a
"protective" motion for class certification.

The plaintiff moved to certify the class described in the complaint
but also moved the court to stay further proceedings on that
motion. In Damasco v. Clearwire Corp., 662 F.3d 891, 896 (7th Cir.
2011), the court suggested that class‐action plaintiffs "move to
certify the class at the same time that they file their complaint."
"The pendency of that motion protects a putative class from
attempts to buy off the named plaintiffs."

However, because parties are generally unprepared to proceed with a
motion for class certification at the beginning of a case, the
Damasco court suggested that the parties "ask the district court to
delay its ruling to provide time for additional discovery or
investigation."

The plaintiff's motion to stay further proceedings on the motion
for class certification is granted. The parties are relieved from
the automatic briefing schedule set forth in Civil Local Rule 7(b)
and (c). Moreover, for administrative purposes, it is necessary
that the Clerk terminate the plaintiff's motion for class
certification. However, this motion will be regarded as pending to
serve its protective purpose under Damasco.[CC]

CENTURYLINK INC: Agrees to Settle Sales Practices & Securities Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CenturyLink, Inc.said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that subject to confirmatory
discovery and court approval, the company has agreed to settle the
consolidated suit entitled, In Re: CenturyLink Sales Practices and
Securities Litigation, for payments of $15.5 million to compensate
class members and of up to $3.5 million for administrative costs.

In June 2017, a former employee filed an employment lawsuit against
the company claiming that she was wrongfully terminated for
alleging that the company charged some of its retail customers for
products and services they did not authorize.

Starting shortly thereafter and continuing since then, and based in
part on the allegations made by the former employee, several legal
proceedings have been filed.

In June 2017, McLeod v. CenturyLink, a putative consumer class
action, was filed against the company in the U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California alleging that the company
charged some of its retail customers for products and services they
did not authorize.

A number of other complaints asserting similar claims have been
filed in other federal and state courts, as well. The lawsuits
assert claims including fraud, unfair competition, and unjust
enrichment.

Also in June 2017, Craig. v. CenturyLink, Inc., et al., a putative
securities investor class action, was filed in U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York, alleging that the company
failed to disclose material information regarding improper sales
practices, and asserting federal securities law claims. A number of
other cases asserting similar claims have also been filed.

Beginning June 2017, the company also received several shareholder
derivative demands addressing related topics. In August 2017, the
Board of Directors formed a special litigation committee of outside
directors to address the allegations of impropriety contained in
the shareholder derivative demands.

In April 2018, the special litigation committee concluded its
review of the derivative demands and declined to take further
action. Since then, derivative cases were filed. Two of these
cases, Castagna v. Post and Pinsly v. Post, were filed in Louisiana
state court in the Fourth Judicial District Court for the Parish of
Ouachita. The remaining derivative cases were filed in federal
court in Louisiana and Minnesota. These cases have been brought on
behalf of CenturyLink against certain current and former officers
and directors of the Company and seek damages for alleged breaches
of fiduciary duties.

The consumer putative class actions, the securities investor
putative class actions, and the federal derivative actions have
been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of
Minnesota for coordinated and consolidated pretrial proceedings as
In Re: CenturyLink Sales Practices and Securities Litigation.

CenturyLink said, "Subject to confirmatory discovery and court
approval, we have agreed to settle the consumer putative class
actions for payments of $15.5 million to compensate class members
and of up to $3.5 million for administrative costs. We have accrued
for those amounts."

CenturyLink, Inc. provides various communications services to
residential, business, wholesale, and governmental customers in the
United States and internationally. The company operates in two
segments, Business and Consumer. CenturyLink, Inc. was founded in
1968 and is based in Monroe, Louisiana.


CENTURYLINK INC: Continues to Defend Houser Class Action
--------------------------------------------------------
CenturyLink, Inc.said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the company continues to
defend a class action suit entitled, Houser et al. v. CenturyLink,
et al.

CenturyLink and certain CenturyLink board members and officers were
named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit
filed on June 12, 2018 in the Boulder County District Court of the
state of Colorado, captioned Houser et al. v. CenturyLink, et al.

The complaint asserts claims on behalf of a putative class of
former Level 3 shareholders who became CenturyLink shareholders as
a result of the transaction.

It alleges that the proxy statement provided to the Level 3
shareholders failed to disclose material information of several
kinds, including information about strategic revenue, customer loss
rates, and customer account issues, among other items.

The complaint seeks damages, costs and fees, rescission, rescissory
damages, and other equitable relief.

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

DAUPHINS LLC: Agrees to Certification of Class in Boothe Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
The parties in the lawsuit styled TARA BOOTHE and JUTTA MAYLAND on
behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. DAUPHINS,
LLC and ALOHA HOSPITALITY INTERNATIONAL, INC. d/b/a DAUPHINS, and
ROBERT BAUMHOWER, Case No. 1:19-cv-00408-JB-M (S.D. Ala.), filed
with the Court their agreed to motion and stipulation regarding
conditional certification and notice to the putative class
members.

The Parties agree to conditional certification of a Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA") collective action Class of "ALL SERVERS WHO
WORKED AT DAUPHIN'S RESTAURANT, LOCATED AT 107 ST. FRANCIS STREET,
SUITE 3400, MOBILE, AL 36602 AT ANY TIME ON OR AFTER JULY 15, 2016
(the "Putative Class Members").

The Defendants will provide the names and last known addresses,
personal e-mail addresses (if available), and dates of employment
for the Putative Class Members no later than fourteen (14) days
following the Court's granting of the Order for Conditional
Certification.  The Plaintiffs' counsel will have seven days from
the date of receipt of the information from the Defendants to
distribute the Notice and Consent form to the Putative Class
Members.

The Plaintiffs' counsel will send the Putative Class Members a
Notice and Consent Form by regular First Class mail and e-mail.
The Plaintiffs' counsel will also send a reminder Notice and
Consent Form by regular First Class mail and e-mail 30 days after
the initial mailing.  The Putative Class Members will have 60 days

DISCOUNTFILTERS.COM, Defendant, Case No. 0:19-cv-62131-XXXX (S.D.
Fla., Aug. 23, 2019) is a Class Action Complaint for damages,
injunctive relief, and any other available legal or equitable
remedies, resulting from the illegal actions of Discount Filters in
negligently or willfully contacting Plaintiff on Plaintiff's
cellular telephone, in violation of the Telephone Consumer

At no time did Plaintiff provide express written consent to receive
these unsolicited text message advertisements from Discount

Plaintiff provided her telephone number to Discount Filters for the
sole purpose of being contacted for issues regarding her order, and
only for that limited purpose. Through the unsolicited SPAM text

DOMINION DENTAL: Henshaw et al Sue over Data Breach
---------------------------------------------------
KIMBERLY HENSHAW, AMBER S. PARKER, and MATTHEW A. SLATE
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, the
Plaintiffs, v. DOMINION DENTAL SERVICES USA, INC., a Virginia
corporation; DOMINION DENTAL SERVICES, INC., a Virginia
corporation, DOMINION DENTAL USA, INC., a Virginia corporation, and
DOES 1 to 10, inclusive, the Defendants, Case No.
1:19-cv-01063-TSE-IDD (E.D. Va., Aug. 14, 2019), asserts that the
Plaintiffs and Class Members suffered significant injuries and
damages as a result of a security breach that compromised the full
names, addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, Social Security
numbers, member ID numbers, group numbers, subscriber numbers, and
other Private Identifiable Information of Plaintiffs and the Class
Members.

The Defendants are insurance company, offering dental and vision
insurance. Thousands of individuals come to Dominion every day as
an insurer for their dental and vision treatment, trusting Dominion
with their sensitive medical and personal information.

These individuals reasonably expect the highest level of protection
for their private identifiable information, when giving highly
sensitive information such as their Social Security numbers and
medical information to Defendants. What these patients do not
expect, and did not expect, during the period between August 25,
2010 and April 24, 2019, was that their personal and sensitive
information would be harvested by unauthorized individuals.

As a result of Defendants' wrongful actions and inactions,
unauthorized individuals gained access to and harvested Plaintiffs'
and Class Members' PII. The Plaintiffs have been forced to take
remedial steps to protect themselves from future loss. Indeed, all
Class Members are currently at a very high risk of identity theft
and/or credit fraud, and prophylactic measures, such as the
purchase of credit monitoring, are reasonable and necessary to
prevent and mitigate future loss.

As a result of Defendants' wrongful actions and inactions, patient
information was stolen. Many of Dominion's insureds have had their
PII compromised, have had their privacy rights violated, have been
exposed to the risk of fraud and identify theft, and have otherwise
suffered damages.

Further, despite the fact that the breach first occurred on August
25, 2010, and was discovered on April 24, 2019, Defendants did not
inform their customers of the data breach until late June 2019.
During that time -- almost nine years after the breach first
occurred -- Defendants sent a letter to their customers informing
them that "On April 24, 2019, through our investigation of an
internal alert, with the assistance of a leading cyber security
firm, we determined that an unauthorized party may have accessed
some of our computer servers. The unauthorized access may have
occurred as early as August 25, 2010, the lawsuit says.[BN]

4:19-cv-05279-KAW (N.D. Cal., Aug. 23, 2019) is an action brought
under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Portal-to-Portal Act
seeking damages for Defendant's failure to pay the
federally-mandated minimum wage.

Plaintiff or the other Dashers, determines the "delivery fee."

While DoorDash classifies Plaintiff as an "independent contractor,"
Plaintiff is truly an "employee" pursuant to the FLSA's economic
realities test, says the complaint.

EMC INSURANCE: Iowa State Court Class Suit Voluntarily Dismissed
----------------------------------------------------------------
EMC Insurance Group Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the court dismissed a
lawsuit in state court in Iowa relating to the November 15, 2018
proposal by Employers Mutual to acquire all outstanding shares of
stock in the Company not already owned by Employers Mutual, without
prejudice.

On March 22, 2019, a lawsuit was filed in state court in Iowa
relating to the November 15, 2018 proposal by Employers Mutual to
acquire all outstanding shares of stock in the Company not already
owned by Employers Mutual.  

The lawsuit was filed as a purported class action, and names as
defendants Employers Mutual and the five individual directors of
the Company. The lawsuit alleges that the proposal is unfair to the
Company's minority shareholders, and seeks an unspecified amount of
damages.  

Employers Mutual and the Company and its directors deny all
allegations of wrongdoing set forth in the lawsuit.

On July 26, 2019, the plaintiffs filed an Unopposed Motion to
Voluntarily Dismiss the lawsuit. On July 31, 2019, the court
granted that motion and dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice.

EMC Insurance Group Inc., an insurance holding company, provides
property and casualty insurance, and reinsurance products in the
United States. It operates through two segments, Property and
Casualty Insurance, and Reinsurance. The company was founded in
1974 and is based in Des Moines, Iowa. EMC Insurance Group Inc. is

EN ENGINEERING: Rossman Seeks Unpaid Overtime Wages

1:19-cv-05768 (N.D. Pa., Aug. 27, 2019) is a lawsuit to recover
unpaid overtime wages and other damages from Defendant EN
Engineering, LLC under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Illinois

Rossman and the Putative Class Members regularly worked more than
40 hours a week. But EN paid Rossman and the other employees like
him the same hourly rate for all hours worked, including those in
excess of 40 hours in a single workweek. EN's straight time for
overtime pay plan violates the overtime requirements of the FLSA,
the IMWL, and the MWHL. Rossman brings this collective action to
recover unpaid overtime wages and other damages owed to him and
other EN hourly workers like him, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Rossman was employed by EN from approximately April 2018
until April 2019.

ENBRIDGE INC: Robertson Seeks Unpaid Overtime Wages
---------------------------------------------------
ZACHARIAH ROBERTSON, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. ENBRIDGE (U.S.) INC., Defendant,
Case No. 2:19-cv-01080-LPL (W.D. Pa., Aug. 27, 2019) is a lawsuit
seeking to recover unpaid overtime wages and other damages from
Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the
Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act.

According to the complaint, Robertson and the other workers like
him regularly worked for Enbridge in excess of 40 hours each week.
But these workers never received overtime for hours worked in
excess of 40 hours in a single workweek. Instead of paying overtime
as required by the FLSA and PMWA, Enbridge improperly classified
Robertson and those similarly situated workers as exempt employees
and paid them a daily rate with no overtime compensation.

This collective action seeks to recover the unpaid overtime wages
and other damages owed to these workers.

Plaintiff Robertson worked for Enbridge from April 2018 until
August 2018 as a welding inspector.

Enbridge is an energy delivery company.[BN]

FIFTH THIRD: Dismissal in Early Access Cash Advance Suit Reversed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fifth Third Bancorp said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals has reversed the dismissal of plaintiffs' breach of
contract claim in the consolidated class suit entitled, In re:
Fifth Third Early Access Cash Advance Litigation (Case No.
1:12-CV-00851), and remanded the matter for further proceedings.

On August 3, 2012, William Klopfenstein and Adam McKinney filed a
lawsuit against Fifth Third Bank in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Klopfenstein et al. v.
Fifth Third Bank), alleging that the 120% Annual Percentage Rate
(APR) that Fifth Third disclosed on its Early Access program was
misleading. Early Access is a deposit-advance program offered to
eligible customers with checking accounts.

The plaintiffs sought to represent a nationwide class of customers
who used the Early Access program and repaid their cash advances
within 30 days.

On October 31, 2012, the case was transferred to the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.

In 2013, four similar putative class actions were filed against
Fifth Third Bank in federal courts throughout the country (Lori and
Danielle Laskaris v. Fifth Third Bank, Janet Fyock v. Fifth Third
Bank, Jesse McQuillen v. Fifth Third Bank, and Brian Harrison v.
Fifth Third Bank). Those four lawsuits were transferred to the
Southern District of Ohio and consolidated with the original
lawsuit as In re: Fifth Third Early Access Cash Advance Litigation
(Case No. 1:12-CV-00851).

On behalf of a putative class, the plaintiffs sought unspecified
monetary and statutory damages, injunctive relief, punitive
damages, attorney's fees, and pre- and post-judgment interest.

On March 30, 2015, the court dismissed all claims alleged in the
consolidated lawsuit except a claim under the Truth in Lending Act
(TILA). On January 10, 2018, plaintiffs filed a motion to hear the
immediate appeal of the dismissal of their breach of contract
claim. On March 28, 2018, the court granted plaintiffs' motion and
stayed the TILA claim pending that appeal. On April 26, 2018,
plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal for the breach of contract
claim with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

On May 28, 2019, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the
dismissal of plaintiffs' breach of contract claim and remanded for
further proceedings. The plaintiffs claim damages for the alleged
breach of contract claim exceed $280 million.

Fifth Third Bancorp operates as a diversified financial services
company in the United States. Fifth Third Bancorp was founded in
1858 and is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.


FIS OPERATIONS: Jordan Sues Over Unpaid Overtime Wages
------------------------------------------------------
ANA JORDAN, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, Plaintiff, v. FIS OPERATIONS, LLC D/B/A FRONTIER
INTEGRITY SOLUTIONS, Defendant, Case No. 7:19-cv-00202 (W.D. Tex.,
Aug. 23, 2019) is a collective action and lawsuit on behalf of
Plaintiff and all other similarly situated employees under the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938 to recover unpaid overtime wages from
Defendant.

During Plaintiff's employment with FIS, she regularly worked in
excess of forty hours per week. FIS knew or reasonably should have
known that Plaintiff worked in excess of forty hours per week. FIS
did not pay Plaintiff overtime "at a rate not less than one and one
half times the regular rate at which she was employed." Instead,
FIS paid Plaintiff a flat sum for each day's work regardless of the
number of hours she worked in a workweek. FIS knew or reasonably
should have known that Plaintiff was not exempt from the overtime
provisions of the FLSA, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Jordan was employed by FIS as a project inspector/clerk
from approximately May 2018 July 2019.

FIS provides pipeline inspection and maintenance services to
customers in the oil and gas industry.[BN]

FORD MOTOR: Van's Class Cert. Bid Denied; Hearing Set for Sept. 12
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Robert M. Dow, Jr., denies the Plaintiffs' motion for
class certification in the lawsuit styled CHRISTIE VAN, et al. FORD
MOTOR COMPANY, Case No. 1:14-cv-08708 (N.D. Ill.).

The Court grants in part and denies in part the Defendant's motion
to exclude the testimony, reports, and opinions of Dr. Louise
Fitzgerald, and grants in part and denies in part the Plaintiffs'
motion to bar the testimony and expert report of Dr. Liza Gold and
Dr. Gregory Mitchell, PhD.

The case is set for further status hearing on September 12, 2019,
at 10:30 a.m.

The Plaintiffs are women, who currently are employed or who were
employed at one of the two Chicago-area Ford Motor Company
facilities (the "Plants")--the Chicago Assembly Plant ("Assembly
Plant") and the Chicago Stamping Plant ("Stamping Plant").  The
Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of all present and former
female employees, who worked at the Assembly Plant or the Stamping
Plant between February 14, 2012 and present.  The Plaintiffs have
moved for class certification on their sexual harassment and
hostile work environment claims.

The Court opines that the subjective element of the Plaintiffs'
hostile work environment claim does not present common issues
appropriate for class-wide determination.  The Court concludes that
the Plaintiffs have not met their burden of satisfying the
commonality requirement of Rule 23(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.

Judge Dow also opines that to date, the Plaintiffs have not made a
showing that any two individuals--much less the class they seek to
certify--experienced the same misconduct in the same way.  The

FUNKO INC: Bids to Dismiss Securities Suit in Washington Granted
----------------------------------------------------------------
Funko, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2019, that the Superior Court of Washington in and
for King County dismissed the consolidated action entitled, In re
Funko, Inc. Securities Litigation.

On November 16, 2017, a purported stockholder of the Company filed
a putative class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of Washington
in and for King County against the Company, certain of its officers
and directors, and the underwriters of its initial public offering
(IPO), entitled Robert Lowinger v. Funko, Inc., et. al.

In January and March 2018, five additional putative class action
lawsuits were filed in Washington state court, four in the Superior
Court of Washington in and for King County and one in the Superior
Court of Washington in and for Snohomish County.

Two of the King County lawsuits, Surratt v. Funko, Inc. et. al.
(filed on January 16, 2018) and Baskin v. Funko, Inc. et. al.
(filed on January 30, 2018), were filed against the Company and
certain of its officers and directors.

The other two King County lawsuits, The Ronald and Maxine Linde
Foundation v. Funko, Inc. et. al. (filed on January 18, 2018) and
Lovewell v. Funko, Inc. et. al (filed on March 27, 2018), were
filed against the Company, certain of its officers and directors,
ACON, Fundamental and certain other defendants.

The Snohomish County lawsuit, Berkelhammer v. Funko, Inc. et. al.
(filed on March 13, 2018), was filed against the company, certain
of the Company's officers and directors, and ACON. On May 8, 2018,
the Berkelhammer action was voluntarily dismissed, and on May 15,
2018 a substantially similar action was filed by the same plaintiff
in the Superior Court of Washington in and for King County.  

On April 2, 2018, a putative class action lawsuit Jacobs v. Funko,
Inc. et. al was filed in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Washington against the Company, certain of its
officers and directors, and certain other defendants.

On May 21, 2018, the Jacobs action was voluntarily dismissed, and
on June 12, 2018 a substantially similar action was filed by the
same plaintiff in the Superior Court of Washington in and for King
County.

On July 2, 2018, all of the above-referenced suits were ordered
consolidated for all purposes into one action under the title In re
Funko, Inc. Securities Litigation in the Superior Court of
Washington in and for King County.

On August 1, 2018, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint
against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, ACON,
Fundamental, and certain other defendants. On October 1, 2018, the
Company moved to dismiss that action.

Plaintiffs filed their opposition to the Company's motion to
dismiss on October 31, 2018, and the Company filed its reply to
plaintiffs' opposition on November 30, 2018.  

Oral arguments on the motions to dismiss were held on May 3, 2019.


On August 2, 2019, the Superior Court of Washington in and for King
County dismissed the consolidated action, allowing Plaintiffs leave
to amend the complaint. The Court found, inter alia, that "Funko's
statements regarding its financial disclosures were not materially
false or misleading" and that "plaintiffs have not shown that
Funko's 'opinion statements' were false or that such statements
were not simply corporate optimism or puffery."

sources, and distributes licensed pop culture products in the
United States, China, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom. Funko, Inc.
was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Everett, Washington.


FUNKO INC: Kanugonda Class Action Underway
------------------------------------------
Funko, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2019, that the company continues to defend a
putative class action suit entitled, Kanugonda v. Funko, et al.

On June 4, 2018, a putative class action lawsuit Kanugonda v.
Funko, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Washington against the Company, certain of its
officers and directors, and certain other defendants.

On January 4, 2019, a lead plaintiff was appointed in that case.  

On April 30, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint
against the previously named defendants.

GENERAL MOTORS: Diesel Truck Owners Sue Over Defective Fuel Pump
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mark D. Chapman, Leroy Gwinn Jr., William McDuffie, Gary Godwin and
Robert Hoag, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. General Motors LLC, Defendants, Case No.
19-cv-12333, (E.D. Mich., August 6, 2019), seeks damages,
attorneys' fees and costs, and such other and further relief
resulting from breach of contract, negligence, deceit by
concealment and violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and
various state consumer protection acts.

Plaintiffs are owners of diesel trucks manufactured by GMC. They
claim that their vehicles contain the CP4 fuel pump that is not
compatible with American diesel fuel. American diesel fuel
allegedly contains less lubrication thus running the fuel pump
nearly dry. Air pockets form inside the pump during operation,
causing metal to rub against metal, generating metal shavings which
are dispersed throughout the fuel injection system, contaminating
and destroying the fuel system. [BN]

HEADWAY TECHNOLOGIES: Voyager Sues Over HDD Assembly Price-fixing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VOYAGER TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC, on behalf of itself and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. HEADWAY TECHNOLOGIES,
INC., HUTCHINSON TECHNOLOGY INC., MAGNECOMP PRECISION TECHNOLOGY
PUBLIC CO. LTD., NAT PERIPHERAL (DONG GUAN) CO., LTD., NAT
PERIPHERAL (H.K.) CO., LTD., NHK SPRING CO. (H.K.) CO., LTD., NHK
SPRING CO. LTD., NHK INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, NHK SPRING
(THAILAND) CO., LTD., NHK (THAILAND) CO., LTD., NHK SPRING
PRECISION (GUANGZHOU) CO., LTD., SAE (GUANGZHOU) CO., LTD., SAE
MAGNETICS (H.K.) LTD., AND ND TDK CORPORATION, Defendants, Case No.
0:19-cv-02357 (D. Minn., Aug. 27, 2019) is a class action against
Defendants for damages, injunctive relief and other relief pursuant
to federal antitrust laws, state antitrust, unfair competition,
consumer protection laws, and the laws of unjust enrichment under
Section 16 of the Clayton to secure equitable and injunctive relief
against Defendants for violating Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust
Act.

This lawsuit arises out of a global conspiracy among Defendants and
their co-conspirators to fix prices of and allocate market shares
for hard disk drive ("HDD") suspension assemblies. HDD suspension
assemblies are a component of hard disk drives, which use magnetism
to store information electronically. HDDs containing HDD suspension
assemblies are sold both as stand-alone devices and incorporated
into a variety of ubiquitous electronics such as computers, gaming
systems, printers, and copy machines.

The Defendants manufactured and sold HDD suspension assemblies
throughout and into the United States. As of 2016, Defendants TDK
and NHK, along with their subsidiaries, were the leading
manufacturers of HDD suspension assemblies, with a combined
worldwide market share of approximately 90%.

Starting in approximately May 2008 Defendants and their
co-conspirators contracted, combined, or conspired to fix, raise,
maintain, and/or stabilize prices of and allocate market shares for
HDD suspension assemblies in the United States, asserts the
complaint. United States and foreign governments have investigated
potential price- fixing of HDD suspension assemblies; and in 2019,
Defendant NHK admitted guilt. On July 29, 2019, the DOJ announced
that Defendant NHK agreed to plead guilty and pay a $28.5 million
fine for its role in a conspiracy to suppress and eliminate
competition by fixing prices of HDD suspension assemblies sold in
the United States and elsewhere.

The complaint alleges that the combination and conspiracy engaged
in by the Defendants and their co-conspirators was in unreasonable
restraint of interstate and foreign trade and commerce in violation
of the Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1, and state
antitrust, unfair competition, consumer protection laws, and the
common law of unjust enrichment. As a direct and proximate result
of the anticompetitive and unlawful conduct, Plaintiff and the
Classes paid more during the Class Period for HDD suspension
assemblies than they otherwise would have paid in a competitive
market and have thereby suffered antitrust injury to their business
or property, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Voyager Technology Solutions, LLC purchased at least one
HDD suspension assembly indirectly from at least one Defendant, in
Minnesota.

HOMEADVISOR INC: Newell Sues Over Automated Telemarketing Calls
---------------------------------------------------------------
JOUREY NEWELL, individually and on behalf of a class of all persons
and entities similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. HOMEADVISOR, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-02392 (D. Colo., Aug. 22, 2019) is an
action seeking to enforce the consumer-privacy provisions of the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a federal statute enacted in
1991 in response to widespread public outrage about the
proliferation of intrusive, nuisance telemarketing practices.

Mr. Newell alleges that HomeAdvisor, Inc. made automated
telemarketing calls to Mr. Newell and other putative class members
without their prior express written consent. Mr. Newell and
putative class members never consented to receive these calls.
Because telemarketing campaigns generally place calls to hundreds
of thousands or even millions of potential customers en masse, Mr.
Newell brings this action on behalf of a proposed nationwide class
of other persons who received illegal telemarketing calls from or
on behalf of HomeAdvisor, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Jourey Newell currently resides in Pennsylvania.

ANASTASIA QUERCIA, on behalf of herself and on behalf of those
similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. JUUL LABS INC., ALTRIA GROUP,
INC., and PHILIP MORRIS USA, INC., Defendants, Case No.
1:19-cv-05664 (N.D. Ill., Aug. 22, 2019) asserts that JUUL has
fraudulently concealed material information about the addictive
nature of its e-cigarettes, and this lawsuit seeks to redress the
harm already sustained, and to prevent future harm, to others.

Plaintiff is only 20 years old yet she is addicted to JUUL, an
e-cigarette. She also suffers from mood swings, fits of rage, and
pulmonary issues. The federal Food & Drug Administration (FDA) just
announced it was studying the association between seizures and
e-cigarettes. Health authorities consider youth e-cigarette use an
epidemic. And now that Philip Morris, seller of Marlboro, the
country's most popular cigarette especially among youth, partnered
with JUUL, the country's lead e-cigarette seller, progress in
nicotine cessation stands to erode. The Defendants use the very
fraudulent and deceptive youth marketing business practices
adjudged to violate federal racketeering laws, says the complaint.

Plaintiff's claims arise out of JUUL's fraudulent concealment of
material facts concerning the JUUL e-cigarette and representations
about the JUUL e-cigarettes' nicotine content, its addictiveness,
and it physiological effects. JUUL knew that JUUL e-cigarettes'
were not safe for non-smokers, and posed a risk of aggravating
nicotine addiction in those already addicted to cigarettes. JUUL
was under a duty to disclose this material information based upon
its exclusive knowledge of it, and its concealment of it; yet JUUL
never disclosed the defect to Plaintiff or the public, says the
complaint.

Plaintiff resides in Cook County, Illinois, and is a citizen of the
State of Illinois.

JUUL manufactures, designs, sells, markets, promotes and
distributes JUUL e-cigarettes.[BN]

JUUL LABS: Phillips Sues Over Fraudulent Scheme
-----------------------------------------------
Chasity Phillips, individually, and as guardian of her minor child,
A.P., on behalf of herself and those similarly situated, Plaintiff,
v. JUUL LABS, INC., and ALTRIA GROUP, INC., Defendant, Case No.
2:19-cv-04172-MDH (W.D. Mo., Aug. 21, 2019) is a case involving a
scheme in interstate commerce to mislead and defraud teens and
others by inducing them to buy a new e-cigarette called JUUL.

Defendants devised and deployed this fraudulent scheme to enter and
dominate the e-cigarette market through deception and misdirection,
notes the complaint.

A.P. was a bright, social 16-year-old who began using JUUL around
May of 2018. What started as something he did only in the evenings
and on weekends quickly escalated, over just a few short months,
into an addiction that A.P. thought about and partook in all day
throughout each day. When she first became aware of A.P.'s JUUL
use, Phillips attempted to get A.P. to stop cold-turkey. By this
point, however, A.P. was so addicted to nicotine that he became
extremely anxious and irritated when he did not have it.

The Defendants did so through an enterprise of third parties they
used to deceive people about the attributes and health benefits of
"JUULing." This fraudulent scheme has caused injury to the property
of millions of people who have purchased these JUUL products.
Though not alone in pursuing development of electronic cigarettes,
JUUL did so with a familiar strategy. Taking a page from big
tobacco's playbook, which includes defendant Altria, JUUL, in
concert with its advertising agencies, developed a product and
marketing strategy that sought to portray its e-cigarette as
trend-setting, stylish and used by the type of people teenagers
look up to. In addition to advertisements eerily similar in scheme
and content to those of traditional cigarette manufacturers, JUUL
utilized social media extensively, knowing full well that teenagers
are the primary users of social media.

JUUL knew of the significant health risks posed by nicotine use, in
particular vaping, and, with that knowledge, developed an
e-cigarette that is more potent than any other. JUUL was also aware
that nicotine has a more significant adverse impact on adolescents,
including an increased risk of becoming addicted to nicotine. With
that knowledge, JUUL developed a marketing strategy that targeted
teenagers. This action seeks to hold JUUL, Altria and others who
acted in concert and independently towards the same goal
accountable for their tortious and illegal conduct resulting in
serious harm to millions of individuals, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Chasity Phillips is the parent and natural guardian of
A.P. who is 17 years old.

JUUL manufactures, designs, sells, markets, promotes and
distributes JUUL e-cigarettes and related products, including
through sales at physical retail locations across the United States
and internet sales through websites maintained by JUUL.[BN]

KOHLS DEPARTMENT: Third Circuit Appeal Initiated in Gordon Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiffs Jennifer Gordon, Valerie Tantlinger and Jennifer
Underwood filed an appeal from a Court ruling entered in their
lawsuit titled Jennifer Gordon, et al. v. Kohls Department Stores
Inc., et al., Case No. 2-15-cv-00730, in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, Named
Plaintiff Jennifer Underwood sought to certify a class against the
Defendants arguing that the companies were unjustly enriched at her
and the class' expense.

The Plaintiff contends that the Defendants profited from a
deficient credit-monitoring product called PrivacyGuard that was
sold to her and members of the putative class.  In particular, when
the Plaintiff and putative class members did not complete the
second step in registering for PrivacyGuard services, they did not
receive the full range of promised credit-monitoring services.

The appellate case is captioned as Jennifer Gordon, et al. v. Kohls
Department Stores Inc., et al., Case No. 19-2865, in the United
States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[BN]

LUMBER LIQUIDATORS: Class Cert. Ruling in Mason Suit Upheld
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the case, Mason et al. v. Lumber Liquidators, Inc., Case No.
1:17-cv-04780 (E.D.N.Y., August 15, 2017), Judge Margo K. Brodie
affirmed a May 2019 decision by the magistrate judge granting
conditional class certification.  "As indicated in the May 2019
Order, Defendant is directed to produce a list of the names,
addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, work locations, and
dates of employment for all potential collective action members
during the relevant time period."

Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7,
2019, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that on or
about August 15, 2017, Ashleigh Mason, Dan Morse, Ryan Carroll and
Osagie Ehigie filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on
behalf of all current and former store managers, store managers in
training, installation sales managers and similarly situated
current and former employees holding comparable positions but
different titles (collectively, the "Putative Class Employees")
alleging that the Company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act
("FLSA") and New York Labor Law ("NYLL") by classifying the
Putative Class Employees as exempt. The alleged violations include
failure to pay for overtime work.

The plaintiffs seek certification of the Putative Class Employees
for (i) a collective action covering the period beginning three
years prior to the filing of the complaint (plus a tolling period)
through the disposition of this action for the Putative Class
Employees nationwide in connection with FLSA and (ii) a class
action covering the period beginning six years prior to the filing
of the complaint (plus a tolling period) through the disposition of
this action for members of the Putative Class Employees who
currently are or were employed in New York in connection with NYLL.


The plaintiffs did not quantify any alleged damages but, in
addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, the plaintiffs seek class
certification, unspecified amounts for unpaid wages and overtime
wages, liquidated and/or punitive damages, declaratory relief,
restitution, statutory penalties, injunctive relief and other
damages.

In November 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting
conditional certification for all store managers and store managers
in training who worked within the federal statute of limitations
period.  

In May 2019, the magistrate judge granted plaintiffs' motion for
conditional certification.  The Company filed objections to the
magistrate judge's class certification decision with the district
judge.

The Company disputes the Putative Class Employees' claims and
intends to defend the matter vigorously.  On August 30, it filed a
Second Amended Answer to Amended Complaint.

On September 4, Mason filed a Consent Motion for Extension of Time
to Complete Discovery and to authorize second issuance of judicial
notice based on an incomplete collective list.

Lumber Liquidators said, "Given the uncertainty of litigation, the
preliminary stage of the case and the legal standards that must be
met for, among other things, class certification and success on the
merits, the Company cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or
range of loss, if any, that may result from this action and
therefore no accrual has been made related to this. Any such losses
could, potentially, have a material adverse effect, individually or
collectively, on the Company’s results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity."

Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries,
operates as a multi-channel specialty retailer of hard-surface
flooring, and hard-surface flooring enhancements and accessories.
The company also offers its products through its Website, catalogs,
and call center. Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. was founded in
1994 and is headquartered in Toano, Virginia.


MDL 2551: Court Vacates Conditional Transfer Order for Ewen Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, IN RE: NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYERS' CONCUSSION
INJURY LITIGATION, MDL No.2551, Judge Sarah S. Vance of the U.S.
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has vacated the Panel's
conditional transfer order designated as "CTO-6," which
conditionally transferred EWEN v. NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE, ET AL.,
C.A. No. 2:19-03656 from the Central District of California to the
District of Minnesota for inclusion in MDL No. 2551.

Defendant National Hockey League moves under Panel Rule 7.1 to
vacate the Panel's order conditionally transferring the Ewen action
to the District of Minnesota for inclusion in MDL No. 2551.  The
Ewen plaintiff supports the motion.

After considering the arguments of counsel, Judge Vance grants the
motion.  This MDL was created in August2014, and is significantly
advanced.  Common discovery proceeded in the transferee court for
several years, and the court denied class certification last year.
According to the parties, only six of the 139 total claims involved
in the MDL remain.  Of these, two were transferred to the MDL under
Section 1407.  The transferee judge has before her a motion for
suggestion of Section 1407 remand of those transferred claims, as
well as motions to dismiss or transfer the other four claims that
were directly filed in the transferee district.  The Ewen plaintiff
is represented by members of the MDL No.2551 plaintiffs' executive
committee and will have access to common discovery produced in the
MDL.  Given these circumstances, as well as the parties' uniform
opposition to transfer, vacatur is warranted at this time.  If the
transferee judge denies the motion for a suggestion of remand and
determines that the MDL instead should continue in the District of
Minnesota, the parties should inform the Panel and the Panel will
determine whether to transfer Ewen at that time.

MDL 2902: 14 Merck Sharp & Dohme Patent Lawsuits Moved to Delaware
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, IN RE: SITAGLIPTIN PHOSPHATE ('708 & '921) PATENT
LITIGATION, MDL No. 2902, Judge Sarah S. Vance of the U.S. Judicial
Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has entered an order transferring
14 lawsuits initiated by MERCK SHARP & DOHME CORP. as listed on
Schedule A to the District of Delaware, and with the consent of
that court, assigned them to the Honorable Richard G. Andrews for
coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings.

Plaintiff and patentholder Merck Sharp & Dohme Corporation moves
under 28 U.S.C. Section 1407 to centralize pretrial proceedings in
this patent infringement litigation in the District of Delaware.
This litigation consists of fourteen actions pending in two
districts, as listed on Schedule A.  Mylan Inc. and Mylan
Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively, Mylan), which are defendants in
the Northern District of West Virginia action, do not oppose the
motion.  Generic manufacturer defendants in thirteen District of
Delaware actions take no position on centralization, but if it is
ordered, suggest that the District of Delaware serve as the
transferee district.

Merck filed these actions after generic drug manufacturers
submitted a total of 26 Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs)
seeking approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
make and sell generic versions of sitagliptin phosphate drugs,
which are popular diabetes medications known as dipeptidyl
peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors.  Sitagliptin phosphate is the
active ingredient of Merck's Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate),
Janumet (metformin hydrochloride; sitagliptin phosphate), and
Janumet XR (metformin hydrochloride; sitagliptin phosphate extended
release tablets) drug products.  The actions on the motion area
series of Hatch-Waxman patent infringement lawsuits, in which Merck
alleges that each of the defendants has infringed two U.S. Patents
by filing an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market generic
sitagliptin phosphate in the United States.

On the basis of the papers filed and hearing held, Judge Vance
finds that these actions involve common questions of fact, and that
centralization in the District of Delaware will serve the
convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and
efficient conduct of this litigation.  All actions involve
substantially identical claims that defendants infringed the two
Merck patents.  Centralization is warranted to prevent inconsistent
rulings (particularly with respect to claim construction and issues
of patent validity) and overlapping pretrial obligations, to reduce
costs, and to create efficiencies for the parties, courts, and
witnesses.

Although the cases in this litigation are pending in only two
districts, the Panel has long acknowledged that "actions involving
the validity of complex pharmaceutical patents and the entry of
generic versions of the patent holder's drugs are particularly
well-suited for transfer under Section 1407."  Given the complexity
of the allegations and regulatory framework governing Hatch-Waxman
cases, as well as the need for swift progress in this litigation
that involves the potential entry of generic diabetes drugs into
the market, placing all actions before a single judge should foster
the efficient resolution of all the actions.

Judge Vance selects the District of Delaware as the appropriate
transferee district for these actions.  Thirteen of the fourteen
actions are pending in this district.  Judge Vance is confident
that Judge Richard G.  Andrews, who is well-versed in complex
patent litigation, will steer this matter on a prudent course.

MDL 2905: 12 Defective Airbag Suits Moved to Central California
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, IN RE: ZF-TRW AIRBAG CONTROL UNITS PRODUCTS LIABILITY
LITIGATION, MDL No. 2905, Judge Sarah S. Vance of the U.S. Judicial
Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has entered an order transferring
12 actions to the Central District of California, and, with the
consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable John A. Kronstadt
for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings.

Plaintiffs in an action in the Central District of California
(Altier) and an action in the Eastern District of Michigan
(Samouris) move under 28 U.S.C. Section 1407 to centralize this
litigation in the Central District of California, or, in the
alternative, the Eastern District of Michigan.  The litigation
consists of twelve actions: five in the Central District of
California, two in the Southern District of Florida, three in the
Eastern District of Michigan and one each in the Eastern District
of New York and the Western District of Washington.  The Panel has
been notified of five potentially-related actions, all in the
Central District of California.

All responding plaintiffs support centralization, but disagree, to
some extent, on an appropriate transferee district.  Most
plaintiffs support selection of the Central District of California,
but plaintiffs in the two actions in the Southern District of
Florida argue for the Southern District of Florida.

Responding defendants' positions on centralization vary.  ZF-TRW
Defendants, which are2named in all actions, support centralization
in the Eastern District of Michigan, as do Honda Defendants.
Defendants Hyundai Motor America, Inc., and Kia Motors America,
Inc., also support3centralization, but in the Central District of
California.  Toyota Defendants, defendants Mitsubishi Motors North
America, Inc., and FCA US LLC oppose centralization, but, in the
alternative, argue for creation of separate, automaker-specific
MDLs in either the Central District of California (Toyota and
Mitsubishi's favored venue)or the Eastern District of Michigan
(FCA's favored venue).  Finally, defendant Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd.,
opposes centralization, and argues, in the alternative, for the
Central District of California as transferee district.

On the basis of the papers filed and the hearing session held,
Judge Vance finds that these actions involve common questions of
fact, and that centralization in the Central District of California
will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote
the just and efficient conduct of this litigation.  The actions
share factual issues arising from allegations that airbag control
units manufactured by the ZF-TRW defendants are defective, in that
an electrical overstress condition can cause a malfunction of the
ACU's application specific integrated circuit.  Because of this
alleged defect -- which may affect more than twelve million
vehicles made by multiple automakers, including FCA, Honda,
Hyundai/Kia, Mitsubishi, and Toyota -- there is a risk that the
airbag could fail to deploy in an accident.  Centralization would
eliminate duplicative discovery and other pretrial proceedings, as
well as the possibility of inconsistent rulings on class
certification, Daubert motions, and other pretrial matters, and
conserve judicial and party resources.

In opposing centralization, the Toyota, Mitsubishi, FCA, and
Hyundai Mobis defendants argue, inter alia, that (1) individual
issues – such as those concerning the design of each automaker's
vehicles and their susceptibility to an ACU failure and each
automaker's relationship with ZF-TRW– predominate; (2)
centralization would only create inefficiencies because of the need
to safeguard each defendant's trade secrets and other confidential
information; and(3)plaintiffs' legal claims vary from case to case.
These arguments are not convincing.  First, the existence of
individual issues, which is relatively common place in products
liability MDLs, does not negate the common ones, which appear to be
sufficiently substantial and complex to warrant creation of an MDL.
Second, because a number of these cases involve multiple automaker
defendants, denying centralization would hardly alleviate any trade
secret concerns.  The transferee judge can utilize protective
orders or other appropriate methods to address confidentiality
issues and other defendant-specific matters.  Third, "where common
factual issues exist, the presence of different legal theories
among the actions is not a bar to centralization."

The Toyota, Mitsubishi, and FCA defendants' alternative suggestion
that the Panel create separate, automaker-specific MDLs is
impracticable.  These actions all arise from the same National
Highway Traffic Administration investigation into airbags
manufactured by the ZF-TRW defendants.  Given the significant
overlap in the core factual issues, parties, and claims, creation
of a single MDL will best effectuate Section 1407's purposes.

The Judge selects the Central District of California as the
transferee district.  Several defendants, including American Honda
Motor Co., Hyundai Motor America, Inc., and Kia Motors America,
Inc. are headquartered in that district, and relevant documents and
witnesses likely will be found there.  In addition, five
constituent actions are pending in the Central District of
California, as are all five potential tag-along actions.  Judge
John A.  Kronstadt, to whom the Panel assigns the litigation, is an
experienced jurist, and already is presiding over nine of the ten
Central District of California actions.  The Panel is confident
that he will steer this litigation on a prudent course.

MDL 2905: Underwood v. Kia over Defective Airbag Moved to Calif.
----------------------------------------------------------------
A lawsuit against seven car manufacturers was transferred to the
United States District Court for the Central District of California
(Western Division - Los Angeles) on Aug. 14, 2019. The Central
District of California Court Clerk assigned Case No.
2:19-cv-07097-JAK-FFM to the proceeding.

The case is captioned as Robert A. Underwood on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, vs. Kia Motors
America, Inc., Hyundai Motor America, FCA US LLC, Mitsubishi Motors
America, Inc., American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Toyota Motor Sales
U.S.A., Inc., and ZF TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.

The Underwood case is being consolidated with MDL 2905 in re:
ZF-TRW AIRBAG CONTROL UNITS PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION. The MDL
was created by Order of the United States Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation on August 7, 2019. These actions share
common factual questions arising from allegations that airbag
control units manufactured by the ZF-TRW defendants are defective,
in that an electrical overstress condition can cause a malfunction
of the ACU's application specific integrated circuit. Because of
this alleged defect -- which may affect more than 12 million
vehicles made bymultiple automakers, including FCA, Honda,
Hyundai/Kia, Mitsubishi, and Toyota -- there is a risk that the
airbag could fail to deploy in an accident. In its August 7, 2019
Order, the MDL Panel found that the actions in this MDL involve
common questions of fact, and that centralization in the Central
District of California will serve the convenience of the parties
and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of the
litigation. Centralization would eliminate duplicative discovery
and other pretrial proceedings, as well as the possibility of
inconsistent rulings on class certification, Daubertmotions, and
other pretrial matters, and conserve judicial and party resources.
Presiding Judge in the MDL is Hon. Judge John A. Kronstadt. The
lead case is 2:19-ml-02905-JAK-FFM.[BN]

MDL 2908: Court Deems as Moot Boeing's Bid to Transfer 66 Suits
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, IN RE: AIR CRASH NEAR EJERE, ETHIOPIA, ON MARCH 10,
2019, MDL No. 2908, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation has deemed as moot The Boeing Company's motion seeking
centralization in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois of 66 actions for coordinated or consolidated pretrial
proceedings.  The Panel also ordered that the Hearing Session Order
is VACATED insofar as it relates to these actions.

Before the Panel is a motion by defendant The Boeing Company,
seeking centralization, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1407, in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
of the actions on the attached schedule for coordinated or
consolidated pretrial proceedings.  The Panel has now been advised
that the actions filed in the District of South Carolina have been
voluntarily dismissed, thus depriving this litigation of its
multidistrict character.

MERRILL LYNCH: Valelly Files Suit for Unjust Enrichment
-------------------------------------------------------
SARAH VALELLY, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Persons
Similarly Situated, Plaintiff, v. MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER &
SMITH INCORPORATED, Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-07998 (S.D. N.Y.,
Aug. 27, 2019) is a class action on behalf of Plaintiff and a Class
of similarly situated persons or entities, who are or were Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated brokerage customers
beginning March 3, 2014, and who were defaulted by Merrill into a
low interest Merrill Lynch Direct Deposit ("MLDD") "sweep account"
(the "Brokerage Subclass").

The complaint alleges that Merrill's MLDD sweep accounts pay
investors a paltry 0.05% to 0.14% annual percentage yield ("APY")
notwithstanding the absence of adequate disclosure, contract
formation, or customers' "prior written affirmative consent" to be
placed into a sweep account, as is required by common law
principles, and NYSE and SEC rules and regulations. Beginning in
the late 1990s, brokerage firms like Merrill began "sweeping"
customer's cash into bank accounts of affiliated entities that were
lawfully able to use that cash to generate profits in their
operations. The movement of that cash frequently came with only
minimal disclosure to customers that their cash was being
transferred to affiliated entities. Most times (at least with
Merrill) the customer only earned a de minimus return on that cash,
well below the amounts earned by the affiliated entities and paid
to Merrill on the use of the cash.

Plaintiff asserts claims (i) on behalf of the Brokerage Subclass
under the doctrine of implied contract, unjust enrichment and
quasi-contract, since there was no valid bilateral contract between
the parties as to the payment of interest on sweep accounts and in
the absence of a binding contract Subclass members are entitled to
be paid a reasonable, market rate, (ii) on behalf of a "Retirement
Class" for breach of a unilateral contract to pay interest at a
"reasonable rate," and (iii) on behalf of a "Brokerage Subclass"
and "BANA Subclass" for negligence and violation of customer
suitability rules. Claims on behalf of each Subclass are also
asserted under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law, Mass.
Gen. Law Chapter 93A, on behalf of a Massachusetts resident
Subclass. Plaintiff seeks both monetary recovery and declaratory
and injunctive relief, says the complaint.

Plaintiff, Sarah Valelly resided in Boston, Massachusetts.
Plaintiff currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina.

Merrill Edge is an online brokerage service operated by Merrill
beginning in 2010.[BN]

MIDLAND CREDIT: Porricelli Sues Over FDCPA Violation
----------------------------------------------------
LISA PORRICELLI, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT, INC., MIDLAND
FUNDING, LLC, and ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP, INC., formerly MCM CAPITAL
GROUP, INC., Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-07992 (S.D. N.Y., Aug.
27, 2019) is a class action for damages brought under the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act.

The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from engaging in any false,
deceptive, or misleading practices in the collection of any debt.

According to the complaint, Defendants--who are debt
collectors--sent Plaintiff and the putative class members a
collection letter bearing the ominous threat that it would be the
"FINAL NOTICE" before the account would be transitioned to the
"attorney review process." But Defendants continued to send
multiple collection notices to Plaintiff and the putative class
members after this purported "FINAL NOTICE". Thus, the Defendants'
"FINAL NOTICE" collection letters contain language that is false,
deceptive, and misleading, in violation of the FDCPA, asserts the
complaint.

Plaintiff Lisa Porricelli is a consumer who resides in The Bronx,
New York.

Midland Credit Management, Inc. ("MCM") is a nationwide debt
collector with its principal place of business at 8875 Aero Drive,
San Diego, California.[BN]

MIKE ROVNER: Williamson Seeks Unpaid Wages for Carpenters
---------------------------------------------------------
TOLLICE WILLIAMSON, on behalf of himself and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, vs. MIKE ROVNER
CONSTRUCTION, INC., a California corporation; and DOES 1-50,
inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. 19CV353263 (Cal. Super., Aug.
14, 2019), seeks to redress Defendants' unlawful employment
practices against Plaintiff, and similarly situated employees.

The Defendants failed to provide Plaintiff with rest periods or pay
him premium wages in lieu thereof; failed to pay minimum wage for
all hours worked; failed to pay overtime wages; failed to reimburse
for necessary business expenses; failed to provide with accurate
wage statements; and failed to timely pay all earned and unpaid
wages after discharge in violation of the California Labor Code.

The Plaintiff spent all of his working hours performing non-exempt
work for Defendant. The Plaintiff was entitled to overtime premium
pay for all overtime hours worked. The Defendants assign Plaintiff
and other workers to certain job sites where remodeling or
renovation is taking place. For the tenure of Plaintiff's
employment, Plaintiff was assigned to work on the Cyprus Village
Apartments in Santa Clara county.

The Plaintiff was hired as a Carpenter on May 5, 2016. Despite the
job title, Plaintiffs job duties encompassed carpentry, electrical
work, cleaning the site after the day's work was over, and other
general labor around the site. Plaintiff was laid off on November
16, 2018, the lawsuit says.

Defendants are a construction company that redevelops residential
and commercial properties in Santa Clara County and throughout
California.[BN]

MISSISSIPPI: Hosemann Appeals Ruling in Hopkins Suit to 5th Cir.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann filed an appeal from a Court
ruling in the lawsuit entitled Dennis Hopkins, et al. v. Delbert
Hosemann, Case No. 3:18-CV-188, in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Mississippi, Jackson.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, Judge Daniel
P. Jordan, III, granted the Plaintiffs' motion for class
certification.

The consolidated action (with ROY HARNESS, ET AL. v. DELBERT
HOSEMANN, SECRETARY OF STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, Case No.
3:17-CV-791-DPJ-FKB) to restore the voting rights of convicted
felons is before the District Court on the Hopkins Plaintiffs'
motion for class certification under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 23.

The Hopkins Plaintiffs seek class certification to challenge two
sections of the Mississippi Constitution -- sections 241 and 253.
Under section 241, individuals who have been convicted of murder,
rape, bribery, theft, arson, obtaining money or goods under false
pretense, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, or bigamy are ineligible
to vote.  And section 253 allows the legislature to restore an
individual's suffrage by a two-thirds vote of both houses, of all
members elected.

The Plaintiffs say the lifetime voting ban violates the Eighth
Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment and the
Fourteenth Amendment, which only permits states to temporarily
"abridge" an individual's right to vote based on participation in a
crime.  They also contend that the mechanism to restore voting
rights violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment and the First Amendment.

The appellate case is captioned as Dennis Hopkins, et al. v.
Delbert Hosemann, Case No. 19-90024, in the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit.[BN]

NABRIVA THERAPEUTICS: Enriquez and Manna Suits Consolidated
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nabriva Therapeutics plc said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the class action suits
entitled, Larry Enriquez v. Nabriva Therapeutics PLC, and Ted
Schroeder and Anthony Manna v. Nabriva Therapeutics PLC, and Ted
Schroeder, have been consolidated.

On May 8, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against
the Company and its Chief Executive Officer in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned
Larry Enriquez v. Nabriva Therapeutics PLC, and Ted Schroeder, No.
19-cv-04183.

The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who
purchased the Company's securities between November 1, 2018 and
April 30, 2019. The complaint generally alleges that the Company
and its Chief Executive Officer violated Sections 10(b) and/or
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and/or misleading
statements and omitting to disclose material facts concerning the
Company's submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing approval of
CONTEPO for the treatment of cUTI in the United States and the
likelihood of such approval. The complaint seeks unspecified
damages, attorneys' fees, and other costs.

On May 22, 2019, a second putative class action lawsuit was filed
against the company and its Chief Executive Officer in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
captioned Anthony Manna v. Nabriva Therapeutics PLC, and Ted
Schroeder, No. 19-cv-04713.

The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who
purchased our securities between November 1, 2018 and April 30,
2019.  

The allegations made in the Manna complaint are similar to those
made in the Enriquez complaint, and the Manna complaint seeks
similar relief.

On May 24, 2019, these two lawsuits were consolidated by the court.
The court appointed a lead plaintiff and approved plaintiff's
selection of lead counsel on July 22, 2019.

The Company denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing and
intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. The Company is
unable, however, to predict the outcome of this matter at this
time.

Nabriva Therapeutics said, "Moreover, any conclusion of this matter
in a manner adverse to the Company and for which it incurs
substantial costs or damages not covered by the Company's
directors' and officers' liability insurance would have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition and business. In
addition, the litigation could adversely impact the Company's
reputation and divert management's attention and resources from
other priorities, including the execution of its business plan and
strategies that are important to the Company's ability to grow its
business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business."

Nabriva Therapeutics plc, a biopharmaceutical company, engages in
the research and development of anti-infective agents to treat
infections in humans. The company was formerly known as Nabriva
Therapeutics Forschungs GmbH and changed its name to Nabriva
Therapeutics plc in 2007. Nabriva Therapeutics plc was incorporated
in 2005 and is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.

NEW YORK: BOD Files 23 Appeals in Gulino Suit to 2nd Circuit
------------------------------------------------------------
Defendant Board of Education of the City School District of the
City of New York filed appeals from the District Court's judgment
entered on June 6, 2019, in the lawsuit styled Gulino, et al. v.
Board of Education, et al., Case No. 96-cv-8414, filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York (New York
City).

The Plaintiffs originally filed a class action complaint on
November 8, 1996, alleging that the LAST-1 exam violated Title VII.
The Plaintiffs, a group of African-American and Latino teachers in
the New York City public school system, alleged that the Defendant,

NEW YORK: Court Certifies Class of Medicaid Recipients
------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit styled as SALVATORE GUADAGNA,
individually and on behalf of all persons similarly situated, the
Plaintiff, vs. HOWARD ZUCKER, as Commissioner of the New York State
Department of Health, the Defendant, Case No. 2:17-cv-03397-ADS-AKT
(E.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Arthur D. Spatt entered an order:

   1. granting Plaintiff's motion for class certification of:

      "all Medicaid recipients who were enrolled in the GuildNet
      managed long-term care plans in Suffolk, Nassau, or

NEW YORK: Website not Accessible to Blind People, Slade Says
------------------------------------------------------------
LINDA SLADE, Individually and as the representative of a class of
similarly situated persons, the Plaintiff, vs. NEW YORK ZIPLINE
ADVERNTURES, LLC, the Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-07951 (S.D.N.Y.,
Aug. 26, 2019), alleges that Defendants failed to design,
construct, maintain, and operate their website to be fully
accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind
or visually-impaired persons. The Defendant is denying blind and
visually-impaired persons throughout the United States with equal
access to the goods and services NY ZIPLINE provides to their
non-disabled customers through http://www.Ziplinenewyork.com/

According to the complaint, the Defendant's denial of full and
equal access to its website, and therefore denial of its products
and services offered, 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, the
lawsuit says.

Ziplinenewyork.com provides to the public a wide array of the
goods, services, price specials, employment opportunities and other
programs offered by NY ZIPLINE. Yet, Ziplinenewyork.com contains
thousands of access barriers that make it difficult if not
impossible for blind and visually-impaired customers to use the
website.

NOBLE ENVIRONMENTAL: Dezzutti Seeks Overtime Wages for Laborers
---------------------------------------------------------------
BRIAN DEZZUTTI, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, vs. NOBLE ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALTY
SERVICES, LLC, the Defendant, Case No. 2:19-cv-01026-MJH (W.D. Pa.,
Aug. 15, 2019), seeks to recover unpaid overtime wages and other
damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Pennsylvania
Minimum Wage Act.

Dezzutti worked for Noble as a Backyard Hand and Laborer. Dezzutti
and the other workers like him regularly worked for Noble in excess
of 40 hours each week.

But these workers never received overtime for hours worked in
excess of 40 hours in a single workweek. Instead of paying overtime
as required by the FLSA and PMWA, Noble improperly classified
Dezzutti and those similarly situated workers as independent
contractors and paid them a daily rate with no overtime
compensation.

OSMOTICA PHARMA: Shumacher & Tello Suits Consolidated
-----------------------------------------------------
Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the class action
suits entitled Leo Shumacher, et al., v. Osmotica Pharmaceuticals
plc, et al. and Jeffrey Tello, et al., v. Osmotica Pharmaceuticals
plc, et al., have been consolidated.

On April 30, 2019, Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc was served with a
complaint in an action entitled Leo Shumacher, et al., v. Osmotica
Pharmaceuticals plc, et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Somerset
County No. SOM-L-000540-19.

On May 10, 2019, a Complaint entitled Jeffrey Tello, et al., v.
Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc, et al., Superior Court of New Jersey,
Somerset County No. SOM-L-000617-19 was filed in the same court as
the Shumacher action.  

The complaints name Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc, certain of its
directors and officers and the underwriters of its initial public
offering as defendants in putative class actions alleging
violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933
related to the disclosures contained in the registration statement
and prospectus used for the Company's initial public offering of
ordinary shares.

On July 22, 2019, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint
consolidating the two actions, reiterating the previously pled
allegations and adding an additional individual defendant.  

The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends
to vigorously defend against the action.

Osmotica said, "However, this litigation matter is still in an
early stage and there is no assurance that we will be successful in
our defense or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund
any settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the action,
which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations
and financial condition. At this time there is no loss that is
probable or reasonably estimatable."

Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc, an integrated biopharmaceutical
company, develops, manufactures, and commercializes specialty
products that target markets with underserved patient populations.
Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc is headquartered in Bridgewater, New
Jersey.

PIN UPS: Ortiz Hits Misclassification, Seeks Unpaid Wages
---------------------------------------------------------
ELENA ORTIZ on Behalf of Herself and on Behalf of All Others
Similarly Situated Plaintiff, v. PIN UPS OF DAYTONA BEACH, LLC,
d/b/a PIN UPS OF DAYTONA BEACH, JOSEPH LOGUIDICE, TIMOTHY
BLAKESLEE, Defendants, Case No. 6:19-cv-01644-RBD-LRH (M.D. Fla.,
Aug. 23, 2019) is an action brought as a Fair Labor Standard Act
collective action on behalf of all persons who were or are employed
by Defendants as exotic dancers at any time during the three years
prior to the commencement of this action to present.

The Defendants required and/or permitted Elena Ortiz and others
similarly situated to work as exotic dancers at their adult
entertainment club but refused to compensate them at the applicable
minimum wage, the complaint asserts. In fact, Defendants refused to
compensate them whatsoever for any hours worked. Plaintiffs' only
compensation was in the form of tips from club patrons, and even
those were partly confiscated by the club. Defendants took money
from Plaintiffs in the form of "house fees" or "rent". Plaintiffs
were also required to divide tips with Defendants' managers and
employees who do not customarily receive tips.

The Defendants misclassify dancers, including Plaintiffs, as
independent contractors so that they do not have to compensate them
at the federally mandated minimum wage rate, the complaint alleges.
The Defendants' practice of failing to pay employees any wages
violates the FLSA's minimum wage provision, and Defendants'
practice of charging house fees and confiscating tips also violates
the FLSA because for at least one workweek in the relevant
statutory period, these practices caused Plaintiffs to be paid
below the minimum wage, says the complaint.

Named Plaintiff Elena Ortiz consistently worked at Pin Ups from
January 2017 until March 2018.

Defendants operate an adult entertainment club in Florida, under
the name of "Pin Ups".[BN]

REAL VALUE PRODUCTS: Camp Drug Store Seeks Certification of Class
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Plaintiff in the lawsuit styled CAMP DRUG STORE, INC., an
Illinois Corporation, individually and as the representative of a
class of similarly-situated persons v. REAL VALUE PRODUCTS, CORP
d/b/a HOSPITAL PHARMACEUTICAL CONSULTING, Case No.
5:19-cv-01009-OLG (W.D. Tex.), seeks to certify this class:

     Each person or entity that was sent one or more telephone
     facsimile messages after August 20, 2015 offering the
     pharmaceutical products available through
     www.realvalueproducts.com or 1-855-681-7201.

The Plaintiff asserts that it files this motion soon after the
filing of its Class Action Complaint in order to avoid an attempt
by Defendant Real Value Products, Corp. dba Hospital Pharmaceutical
Consulting ("Defendant") to moot its individual claims in this
class action.  But, in this case, additional discovery is necessary
for the Court to determine whether to certify the class the
Plaintiff says it seeks to represent.  As a result, the Plaintiff
will seek leave to pursue class discovery as soon as practicable.

Camp Drug Store contends that it files this motion as a precaution
as the Rule 67 "pick-off" question has not been decided in the
Fifth Circuit—such as the Supreme Court has ruled against
attempts to moot a class action complaint under Rule 68 in
Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, 136 S. Ct. 663, 671 (2015) (an
unaccepted Rule 68 offer of judgment does not moot a class action
complaint).  Camp Drug Store adds that it intends to file an
amended motion for class certification at the earliest practicable
time after the completion of discovery.[CC]

RELIANCE TRUST: Casey Files Motion to Compel Stout
--------------------------------------------------
The case captioned JESSICA CASEY and JASON COLEMAN, on behalf of
the RVNB Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and on
behalf of a class of all other persons similarly situated, v.
RELIANCE TRUST COMPANY, Defendant, Case No. 4:18-CV-00424-ALM is
moved from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas, Sherman Division to the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas on Aug. 19, 2019, and assigned Case No.
4:19-mc-02439.

On or about January 10, 2019, Plaintiffs Jessica Casey and Jason
Coleman served a properly issued subpoena duces tecum upon
valuation firm Stout Risius Ross, LLC ("Stout") through its counsel
identified to accept service, Lars C. Golumbic, of the Groom Law
Group. In response to two of Plaintiffs' 23 requests for documents,
Stout responded that it has responsive electronic documents in
native form that would be legible to Plaintiffs, but it refuses to
produce them. Plaintiffs therefore move to compel production.

Plaintiffs bring the underlying ERISA suit on behalf of the RVNB
Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan"), and they
are the proposed representatives for a class of participants in the
Plan, in a lawsuit against the Plan's trustee, Reliance Trust
Company ("Reliance"). The Plan's sponsor, RVNB Holdings, Inc.
("RVNB"), is headquartered in Texas and does business as All My
Sons Moving and Storage. The documents Stout is withholding are of
crucial importance to the litigation. Stout conducted a valuation
of RVNB on behalf of Reliance and the Plan, which Reliance relied
upon to negotiate the $85,000,000 purchase price paid by the Plan
for RVNB. Plaintiffs allege that the Plan overpaid for RVNB by
millions of dollars due to Reliance's breaches of its ERISA duties.
Key issues in the underlying litigation include whether Reliance
caused the Plan to sleep purchase the RVNB shares for more than
fair market value, the methodology used by Stout, whether Reliance
properly reviewed and questioned Stout's work, and the accuracy and
appropriateness of multiple factors in Stout's valuation, such as
if the stock was adequately discounted for lack of control.
However, Stout now refuses to produce proprietary models, which it
used to render the valuation and its fairness and solvency
opinions, in a legible native Excel format.[BN]

SHIPT, INC: Turner et al. Seek Minimum & OT Wages for Shoppers
--------------------------------------------------------------
ZALEKA TURNER, and LAUREN KIKTAVI, in their capacities as Private
Attorneys General Representatives, the Plaintiffs, vs. SHIPT, INC.
d/b/a SHIPT, and TARGET CORPORATION d/b/a TARGET, the Defendants,
Case No. 19STCV28802 (Cal. Super., Aug. 15, 2019), alleges that
Shipt has unlawfully failed to reimburse shoppers for all
reasonably necessary expenditures incurred in the discharge of
their duties, including but not limited to, the vehicle maintenance
costs and reimbursement for mileage, in violation of California
Labor Code; has failed to ensure that its shoppers receive the
applicable state minimum wage for all hours worked; has failed to
pay shoppers the appropriate overtime premium for all overtime
hours worked beyond 40 per week or eight hours per day.

Shipt shoppers shop for, pick up, and deliver groceries from Target
or other local stores to Shipt customers at their homes or
businesses.

The case is brought on behalf of the state of California and other
similarly situated aggrieved individuals who have worked as
shoppers for Shipt, Inc.  Shipt has misclassified its shoppers,
including Plaintiffs Zaleka Turner and Lauren Kiktavi. Because of
the shoppers' misclassification as independent contractors, Shipt
has violated multiple provisions of the California Labor Code.

service that providers shoppers and drivers who can be scheduled
through a mobile phone application (an "app") or through Shipt's
website. Target Corporation owns and operates Shipt and offers an

STOVER DIAGNOSTICS: Jones Sues Over Unpaid Overtime Wages
---------------------------------------------------------
AMBER JONES and VICTORIA LUGO, on behalf of themselves and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. STOVER DIAGNOSTICS
LABORATORIES, INC., STOVER MEDICAL LOGISTICS, INC., and STOVER
MEDICAL PHYSICIAN SERVICES, LLC, Defendants, Case No. 3:19-cv-00740
(M.D. Tenn., Aug. 22, 2019) is an action for unpaid wages against
Defendants on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated
individuals, as a collective action pursuant to the Fair Labor
Standards Act.

The Defendants provide their mobile phlebotomists with schedules
that dictate the number of patient visits, which patients to visit,
and the distance to be driven each day. These schedules require
mobile phlebotomists, including Plaintiffs, to perform several
visits and to travel hundreds of miles each day. As mobile
phlebotomists, Plaintiffs almost always worked in excess of eight
hours each day--and typically at least 12 hours each day--and five
days per week. As a result, Plaintiffs routinely worked over 40
hours in a week. Due to the long work hours, Plaintiffs could not
seek out or take on additional jobs or see additional patients
outside of those assigned by Defendants.

Defendants violated the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the
FLSA. Defendants did not record Plaintiffs time worked. However,
Defendants were aware of the long hours Plaintiffs and other mobile
phlebotomists worked each day because they scheduled Plaintiffs
visits and because Plaintiffs invoiced their mileage. Thus,
Defendants knew and/or acted with reckless disregard of the fact
that their failure to pay Plaintiffs and other employees for their
work violates the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the
FLSA, says the complaint.

Plaintiffs were employed by Defendants as mobile phlebotomists.

Defendants provide mobile phlebotomy services in 18 states.[BN]

TECHNIPFMC PLC: Continues to Defend Prause Class Suit in Texas
--------------------------------------------------------------
TechnipFMC plc  said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the company remains a
defendant in a shareholder class action suit entitled, Prause v.
TechnipFMC, et al., No. 4:17-cv-02368.

A purported shareholder class action filed in 2017 and amended in
January 2018 and captioned Prause v. TechnipFMC, et al., No.
4:17-cv-02368 (S.D. Texas) is pending in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Texas against the Company and certain
current and former officers and employees of the Company.

The suit alleged violations of the federal securities laws in
connection with the Company's restatement of our first quarter 2017
financial results and a material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting announced on July 24, 2017.

On January 18, 2019, the District Court dismissed claims under
Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Securities Act").

A remaining claim for alleged violation of Section 11 of the
Securities Act in connection with the reporting of certain
financial results in the Company's Form S-4 Registration Statement
filed in 2016 is pending and seeks unspecified damages.

The Company is vigorously contesting the litigation and cannot
predict its duration or outcome.

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

TechnipFMC plc engages in the oil and gas projects, technologies,
and systems and services businesses. It operates through three

similarly situated, known and unknown, Plaintiffs, v. THE TEQUILLA
CORPORATION, an Illinois corporation d/b/a BLUE AGAVE TEQUILA BAR &
RESTAURANT, TEQUILA555 CORPORATION, an Illinois corporation d/b/a
BLUE AGAVE TEQUILA BAR & RESTAURANT 2, and MARIO GONZALEZ, an
individual, Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-05654 (N.D. Ill., Aug. 22,
2019) is a lawsuit arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the
Illinois Minimum Wage Law, the Chicago Minimum Wage Ordinance  of
the Municipal Code of Chicago, and the Illinois Wage Payment and
Collection Act for Defendants' failure to pay Plaintiffs, and other
similarly situated employees, overtime compensation for hours
worked over 40 in a workweek, and for taking improper deductions
from Plaintiffs' wages.

The Defendants did not compensate Plaintiffs, and other non-exempt
cooks, dishwashers and kitchen staff employees, at one and one-half
times their regular hourly rates of pay for hours worked in excess
of 40 in individual workweeks, notes the complaint. In order to
conceal their failure to pay overtime compensation, Defendants paid
Plaintiffs, and other non-exempt cooks, dishwashers and kitchen
staff employees, by check for only a portion of their hours,
typically no more than 50 hours, and paid for the remainder of
Plaintiffs' hours in cash. The Defendants knew or should have known
that their illegal wage and hour practices violated the FLSA, the
complaint asserts.

Plaintiffs worked as cooks at Defendants' restaurant.

The Tequilla Corporation is an Illinois corporation that operates
the Blue Agave Tequila Bar & Restaurant located on North State
Street in Chicago, Illinois and is engaged in selling and serving
prepared food and beverages, including alcoholic beverages, to

TIVITY HEALTH: Trial in Okla. Firefighters Suit Set for May 2021
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tivity Health, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the trial in the
Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System Suit, is set on
May 18, 2021.

On November 20, 2017, Eric Weiner, claiming to be a stockholder of
the Company, filed a complaint on behalf of stockholders who
purchased the Company's Common Stock between February 24, 2017 and

The Weiner Lawsuit was filed as a class action in the U.S. District

the Company, the Company's chief executive officer, chief financial
officer and a former executive who served as both chief accounting
officer and interim chief financial officer.

Exchange Act in making false and misleading statements and
omissions related to the United Press Release.  

The complaint seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported
class.  

On April 3, 2018, the Court entered an order appointing the
Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System as lead
plaintiff, designated counsel for the lead plaintiff, and
established certain deadlines for the case.  

On June 4, 2018, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. The
Court denied the Company's Motion to Dismiss on March 18, 2019 and
the Company's Motion to Reconsider on May 22, 2019.

The case is currently set for trial on May 18, 2021.

Tivity Health, Inc. provides fitness and health improvement
programs in the United States. The company was formerly known as

UNITED STATES: Court Certifies Class in Galvez SIJS Suit
--------------------------------------------------------
In the case, LEOBARDO MORENO GALVEZ, et al., Plaintiffs, v. KENNETH
T. CUCCINELLI, et al., Defendants, Case No. C19-0321RSL (W.D.
Wash.), Judge Robert S. Lasnik of the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Washington, Seattle, granted the Plaintiffs'
Motion for Class Certification.

The matter comes before the Court on the Plaintiffs' Motion for
Class Certification.  The three named Plaintiffs seek certification
of a class of all individuals who have been issued predicate
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status ("SIJS") orders by Washington
state courts after turning 18 years old but prior to turning 21
years old and have submitted or will submit SIJS petitions to
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") prior
to turning 21 years old.

Having reviewed the memoranda, declarations, and exhibits submitted
by the parties, and having heard the arguments of the counsel in
the context of the preliminary injunction motion, Judge Lasnik
finds that the Plaintiffs and the class satisfy the requirements of
Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3).

Accordingly, the Judge granted the Plaintiffs' motion for class
certification.  He ordered that the action will be maintained as a
class action under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3) and on behalf of the
Class of all individuals who have been issued predicate Special
Immigrant Juvenile Status ("SIJS") orders by Washington state
courts after turning 18 years old but prior to turning 21 years old
and have submitted or will submit SIJS petitions to United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") prior to turning 21
years old.

He appointed the Plaintiffs as the class representatives, and their
counsel are appointed and designated as the counsel for the class
and are authorized to act on behalf of the members of the classes.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH: Bid to Dismiss Teamsters Local 456 Suit Pending
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Health Services, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2019, for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, that the motion to
dismiss filed in the class action suit entitled, Teamsters Local
456 Pension Fund, et al. v. Universal Health Services, Inc. et al.
(Case No. 2:17-CV-02817-LS), is still pending.

In December 2016 a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was
filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California
against the company (UHS) and certain UHS officers alleging
violations of the federal securities laws.

The case was originally filed as Heed v. Universal Health Services,
Inc. et. al. (Case No. 2:16-CV-09499-PSG-JC). The court
subsequently appointed Teamsters Local 456 Pension Fund and
Teamsters Local 456 Annuity Fund to serve as lead plaintiffs.  

The case has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the style of the case has been
changed to Teamsters Local 456 Pension Fund, et. al. v. Universal
Health Services, Inc. et. al. (Case No. 2:17-CV-02817-LS).

In September, 2017, Teamsters Local 456 Pension Fund filed an
amended complaint.

The amended class action complaint alleges violations of federal
securities laws relating to disclosures made in public filings
associated with alleged practices and operations at the company's
behavioral health facilities.  

Plaintiffs seek monetary damages for shareholders during the
defined class period as a result of the decrease in share price
following various public disclosures or reports.

In December 2017, the company filed a motion to dismiss the amended
complaint. We deny liability and intend to defend ourselves
vigorously.

Universal Health said, "At this time, we are uncertain as to
potential liability or financial exposure, if any, which may be
associated with this matter."

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

Universal Health Services, Inc., through its subsidiaries, owns and
operates acute care hospitals, outpatient facilities, and
behavioral health care facilities. The company operates through
Acute Care Hospital Services, Behavioral Health Care Services, and
Other segments. Universal Health Services, Inc. founded in 1978 and
is headquartered in King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

WILCO LIFE: Anderson Suit Stayed Pending 11th Cir. Appeal
---------------------------------------------------------
In the case, VANESSA ANDERSON, Individually and on Behalf of a
Class of Similarly Situated Persons, Plaintiff, v. WILCO LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant, Case No. CV 119-008 (S.D. Ga.), Judge
J. Randal Hall of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of Georgia, Augusta Division, granted Wilco's unopposed motion to
stay pending appeal.

Anderson originally filed the putative class action in the Superior
Court of Columbia County, Georgia.  At issue are Wilco's "cost of
insurance" charges on certain life insurance policies held by
Georgia residents.  

On Jan. 11, 2019, Wilco removed the case to the Court alleging
jurisdiction existed under 28 U.S.C. Section 1332.  Wilco invoked
both ordinary diversity jurisdiction and jurisdiction under the
Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 ("CAFA").

After removal, the Plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to
state court contending Wilco could not prove the requisite amount
in controversy for either jurisdictional basis.  On June 20, 2019,
the Court granted the Plaintiff's motion and remanded the action
back to the Superior Court of Columbia County, Georgia.  The Court
held that the Plaintiff and the class' request for reinstatement of
their life insurance policies did not put the face value of those
policies in the amount in controversy because it was too
speculative to assume Wilco will be required to pay the face value
on those policies.

On July 1st, Wilco petitioned the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals
for permission to appeal the Court's June 20th Remand Order.  Now,
Wilco moves the Court to stay the Remand Order pending the Eleventh
Circuit's ruling on its appeal.  Wilco's motion states the
Plaintiff has no objection to granting a stay pending appeal.

Judge Hall concludes that a stay of the June 20th Remand Order is
warranted.  First, Wilco has shown a sufficient likelihood of
success on the merits of the appeal because of the not
insignificant caselaw, most notably Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am.
v. Muniz, supporting its argument that the class' request for
reinstatement of their policies puts the face value of those
policies at issue.  Next, the Plaintiff will not suffer substantial
injury from the issuance of a stay.  Finally, a stay serves the
public interest because it will conserve finite judicial resources
by preventing duplicative litigation.

Based on the foregoing, the balance of factors weighs in favor of
staying the Court's June 20th Remand Order until the Eleventh
Circuit decides Wilco's appeal.  Therefore, Judge Hall granted
Wilco's motion to stay pending appea.  The Court's June 20th Remand
Order is stayed pending final resolution of Wilco's appeal in the
Eleventh Circuit.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: ArvinMeritor Had 1,400 Pending Claims at June 30
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Meritor, Inc.'s subsidiary, ArvinMeritor, Inc., continues to defend
approximately 1,400 pending active asbestos claims in lawsuits at
June 30, 2019, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "ArvinMeritor, Inc. ("AM"), a predecessor of
Meritor, along with many other companies, has also been named as a
defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of
exposure to asbestos used in certain components of Rockwell
products many years ago.  Liability for these claims was
transferred at the time of the spin-off of the automotive business
from Rockwell in 1997.  There were approximately 1,400 pending
active asbestos claims in lawsuits that name AM, together with many
other companies, as defendants at June 30, 2019 and September 30,
2018.

"A significant portion of the claims do not identify any Rockwell
products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to
asbestos attributable to Rockwell products, and past experience has
shown that the vast majority of the claimants will likely never
identify any of Rockwell products.  Historically, AM has been
dismissed from the vast majority of similar claims filed in the
past with no payment to claimants.  For those claimants who do show
that they worked with Rockwell products, management nevertheless
believes it has meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to
the integrity of the products involved and the lack of any
impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Court Grants Summary Judgment Favoring ACL, et al.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Maryellen Noreika adopted Magistrate Judge Fallon's
Report and  Recommendation and granted Defendants' motions for
summary judgment in the case entitled In re Asbestos Litigation.
Richard Wayne Rogers, Plaintiff, v. Air & Liquid Systems
Corporation, et al., Defendant, C.A. No. 17-1570 (MN)(SRF), (D.
Del.).

Plaintiff Richard Wayne Rogers filed objections to two of Judge
Fallon's recommendations in the Report, particularly the
recommended grants of summary judgment to Asbestos Corporation
Limited and to Charles A. Wagner Company.

Plaintiff filed this action against multiple defendants in the
Superior Court of Delaware on Sept. 18, 2017. Plaintiff sued
Defendants "for asbestos exposure while working at the Dupont
Seaford Facility in the 1960s and 1970s," as well as other
defendants for "exposure to asbestos while serving in the U.S. Navy
from 1966 to 1970." The case was removed to this Court on Nov. 2,
2017 by defendant Foster Wheeler LLC. Thereafter, the case was
referred to Judge Fallon.

Rogers was deposed on April 2018, but did not produce any other
fact or product identification witnesses for deposition. Mr. Rogers
testified that while working in DuPont, he performed housekeeping
duties where he swept the warehouse floor in the staple area.

In addition, the Plaintiff relies on the testimony of Marguerite
Warren and the 1972 memo to confirm the existence of other
products. Warren's testimony confirms that other products, such as
Kleensweep, were used as sweeping compounds at the plant.
Similarly, the 1972 memo refers multiple products being used as
sweeping compound. Although the memo refers to an "asbestos type"
sweeping compound, it does not identify the supplier and does not
suggest that Plaintiff used the "asbestos type" product. Thus, it
would be speculative for the Court to conclude that the proffered
evidence refers to the sweeping compound Plaintiff used.

Given evidence that there were other compounds used as sweeping
products at the DuPont Seaford plant, the Court found no evidence
what product Rogers used or that the product Rogers used actually
contained asbestos. The was no evidence that Plaintiff worked with
or around sweeping compound distributed by Defendant Wagner that
contained asbestos mined or supplied by ACL.

The Court noted that Plaintiff could not identify the product he
used as a sweeping compound at DuPont Seaford. He testified that he
knew that the sweeping compound was stored in three or four
galvanized containers located in his area of the plant, but did not
recall any name or writing on the galvanized containers. Plaintiff
also testified that he did not "have any reason to believe" that
sweeping compound he used contained asbestos. Moreover, the color
and consistency of the sweeping compound described by Plaintiff
(pink or purple) did not match the color or consistency of the
product sold to the DuPont Seaford plant by Defendants or the
description of the product in the testimony of other employees at
the plant.

The Court further noted Plaintiff's  testimony that the color of
the sweeping compound did not change while he was working at
DuPont, and that he has no reason to believe that the sweeping
compound contained asbestos.

Moreover, the Court said that even if Plaintiff had established
that an asbestos containing product was supplied by ACL or Wagner
to DuPont -- showing the presence of that product in Plaintiff's
workplace -- is not sufficient to establish nexus and proximity.
The Plaintiff has not disputed the Report's conclusion that there
is "no meaningful intersection between the Plaintiff and the other
DuPont employees who testified."

Thus, the Court concludes Plaintiff's proffered evidence is not
material to product nexus or would require impermissible
speculation in order to conclude that Plaintiff was in close
proximity to an asbestos containing product manufactured or
distributed by Defendants. It does not raise a genuine issue of
material fact and summary judgment is appropriate.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Gardner Denver Had $102.3MM Reserve at June 30
---------------------------------------------------------------
Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. had total litigation reserve of
US$102.3 million as of June 30, 2019, with regards to potential
liability arising from the Company's asbestos-related litigation,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2019.

Gardner Denver states, "The Company has been named as a defendant
in a number of asbestos-related and silica-related personal injury
lawsuits.  The plaintiffs in these suits allege exposure to
asbestos or silica from multiple sources and typically the Company
is one of approximately 25 or more named defendants.

"Predecessors to the Company sometimes manufactured, distributed
and/or sold products allegedly at issue in the pending asbestos and
silica-related lawsuits (the "Products").  However, neither the
Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, mixed,
produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand, the
materials that allegedly caused the injury underlying the lawsuits.
Moreover, the asbestos-containing components of the Products, if
any, were enclosed within the subject Products.

"Although the Company has never mined, manufactured, mixed,
produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand nor sold
products that could result in a direct asbestos or silica exposure,
many of the companies that did engage in such activities or
produced such products are no longer in operation.  This has led to
law firms seeking potential alternative companies to name in
lawsuits where there has been an asbestos or silica related
injury.

"The Company believes that the pending and future asbestos and
silica-related lawsuits are not likely to, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or liquidity, based on: the Company's
anticipated insurance and indemnification rights to address the
risks of such matters; the limited potential asbestos exposure from
the Products; the Company's experience that the vast majority of
plaintiffs are not impaired with a disease attributable to alleged
exposure to asbestos or silica from or relating to the Products or
for which the Company otherwise bears responsibility; various
potential defenses available to the Company with respect to such
matters; and the Company's prior disposition of comparable matters.
However, inherent uncertainties of litigation and future
developments, including, without limitation, potential insolvencies
of insurance companies or other defendants, an adverse
determination in the Adams County Case, or other inability to
collect from the Company's historical insurers or indemnitors,
could cause a different outcome.  While the outcome of legal
proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on presently known
facts, experience, and circumstances, the Company believes that the
amounts accrued on its balance sheet are adequate and that the
liabilities arising from the asbestos and silica-related personal
injury lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.  "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include a total litigation
reserve of US$102.3 million and US$105.8 million as of June 30,
2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, with regards to potential
liability arising from the Company's asbestos-related litigation.
Asbestos related defense costs are excluded from the asbestos
claims liability and are recorded separately as services are
incurred.  In the event of unexpected future developments, it is
possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may be
material to the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operation or liquidity.

"The Company has entered into a series of agreements with certain
of its or its predecessors' legacy insurers and certain potential
indemnitors to secure insurance coverage and/or reimbursement for
the costs associated with the asbestos and silica-related lawsuits
filed against the Company.  The Company has also pursued litigation
against certain insurers or indemnitors, where necessary.  The
Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos
related recoveries of approximately US$102.8 million and US$103.0
million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively,
which was included in "Other assets" in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

"The largest such recent action, Gardner Denver, Inc. v. Certain
Underwriters at Lloyd's, London, et al., was filed on July 9, 2010,
in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, Adams County, Illinois, as case
number 10-L-48 (the "Adams County Case").  In the lawsuit, the
Company seeks, among other things, to require certain excess
insurer defendants to honor their insurance policy obligations to
the Company, including payment in whole or in part of the costs
associated with the asbestos-related lawsuits filed against the
Company.

"In October 2011, the Company reached a settlement with one of the
insurer defendants, which had issued both primary and excess
policies, for approximately the amount of such defendant's policies
that were subject to the lawsuit.  Since then, the case has been
proceeding through the discovery and motions process with the
remaining insurer defendants.

"On January 29, 2016, the Company prevailed on the first phase of
that discovery and motions process ("Phase I").  Specifically, the
Court in the Adams County Case ruled that the Company has rights
under all of the policies in the case, subject to their terms and
conditions, even though the policies were sold to the Company's
former owners rather than to the Company itself.

"On June 9, 2016, the Court denied a motion by several of the
insurers who sought permission to appeal the Phase I ruling
immediately rather than waiting until the end of the whole case as
is normally required.  The case is now proceeding through the
discovery process regarding the remaining issues in dispute ("Phase
II").

"A majority of the Company's expected future recoveries of the
costs associated with the asbestos-related lawsuits are the subject
of the Adams County Case.

"The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related
liabilities and insurance recoveries are based on currently
available information and assumptions that the Company believes are
reasonable based on an evaluation of relevant factors.  The actual
liabilities or insurance recoveries could be higher or lower than
those recorded if actual results vary significantly from the
assumptions.  There are a number of key variables and assumptions
including the number and type of new claims to be filed each year,
the resolution or outcome of these claims, the average cost of
resolution of each new claim, the amount of insurance available,
allocation methodologies, the contractual terms with each insurer
with whom the Company has reached settlements, the resolution of
coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom the
Company has not yet achieved settlements, and the solvency risk
with respect to the Company's insurance carriers.  Other factors
that may affect the future liability include uncertainties
surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction and from case to case, legal rulings that may be made
by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal
legislation.  The Company makes the necessary adjustments for the
asbestos liability and corresponding insurance recoveries on an
annual basis unless facts or circumstances warrant assessment as of
an interim date."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Garrett Motion Paid $38MM to Honeywell in 2Q 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------
Garrett Motion Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2019, that it paid Honeywell International Inc. the
Euro-equivalent of US$38 million in connection with the
Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement during the three months
ended June 30, 2019.

In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid the
Euro-equivalent of US$76 million.

As previously reported, Garrett Motion Inc. became an independent
publicly-traded company on October 1, 2018 through a pro rata
distribution by Honeywell International Inc. of 100% of the
then-outstanding shares of Garrett to Honeywell's stockholders (the
"Spin-Off").

The Company states, "Honeywell is a defendant in asbestos-related
personal injury actions mainly related to its legacy Bendix
friction materials ("Bendix") business.  The Bendix business
manufactured automotive brake linings that contained chrysotile
asbestos in an encapsulated form.  Claimants consist largely of
individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either
performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed
brake replacements.  Certain operations that were part of the
Bendix business were transferred to Garrett.

"In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into an
Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell on
September 12, 2018.  As of the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, we
are obligated to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90%
of Honeywell's asbestos-related liability payments and accounts
payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United
States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments
and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related
liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to
legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of
defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell's
net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other
recoveries associated with such liabilities.  Pursuant to the terms
of this Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we are
responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an
amount equal to the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate determined by
Honeywell as of a date within two business days prior to the date
of the Distribution (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalent of US$175
million in respect of such liabilities arising in any given
calendar year.  The payments that we are required to make to
Honeywell pursuant to the terms of this agreement will not be
deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

"The Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement provides that the
agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048
or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which
certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less
than US$25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the
terms of the agreement.  During the three and six months ended June
30, 2019, we paid Honeywell the Euro-equivalent of US$38 million
and US$76 million, respectively, in connection with the
Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Honeywell Won't Face SEC Charges re Accounting
---------------------------------------------------------------
Micah Maidenberg, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Honeywell International Inc. said securities regulators have
decided not to pursue any actions related to an investigation into
how it accounted for asbestos-related liabilities.

According to the report, citing the company, the Securities and
Exchange Commission told the Charlotte, N.C.-based conglomerate
that it concluded a probe into those accounting practices and
won’t recommend enforcement steps.

A spokeswoman for the SEC declined to comment, the Journal said.

The Journal related that last year, Honeywell revised its asbestos
liabilities tied to Bendix, the vehicle-brakes business it sold
several years ago, increasing them by $1.1 billion to $2.61 billion
as of Dec. 31, 2017. The company said at the time that the SEC had
opened an investigation into the matter and that it was cooperating
with regulators, the report further related.


ASBESTOS UPDATE: ITT Inc. Had $835.8MM Liability at June 30
-----------------------------------------------------------
ITT Inc. had an undiscounted asbestos-related liability of US$835.8
million as of June 30, 2019, for pending claims and unasserted
claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years, according to
the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "Subsidiaries of ITT, ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps
LLC, are joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in
product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos
exposure.  These claims allege that certain of their products sold
prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g.,
a gasket) which contained asbestos.  To the extent these
third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated
in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable.  Frequently,
the plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps
LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure.  In addition, a
large majority of claims pending against the Company's subsidiaries
have been placed on inactive dockets because the plaintiff cannot
demonstrate a significant compensable loss.  Our experience to date
is that a substantial portion of resolved claims have been
dismissed without payment by the Company's subsidiaries.

"We record a liability for pending asbestos claims and asbestos
claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years.  While it is
probable that we will incur additional costs for future claims to
be filed against the Company, a liability for potential future
claims beyond the next 10 years is not reasonably estimable due to
the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term
projection of the Company's asbestos exposures and potential
recoveries.  As of June 30, 2019, we have recorded an undiscounted
asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims
estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of US$835.8 million,
including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of US$354.6
million which represents estimated recoveries from insurers,
resulting in a net asbestos exposure of US$481.2 million."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: ITT Units Had 24,000 Claims Pending at June 30
---------------------------------------------------------------
ITT Inc.'s subsidiaries had 24,000 pending asbestos-related claims
at June 30, 2019, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC and
Goulds Pumps LLC, have been sued, along with many other companies
in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to
asbestos exposure.  These claims generally allege that certain
products sold by our subsidiaries prior to 1985 contained a part
manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained
asbestos.  To the extent these third-party parts may have contained
asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and
was non-friable.  As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately 24
thousand pending claims against ITT subsidiaries, including Goulds
Pumps LLC, filed in various state and federal courts alleging
injury as a result of exposure to asbestos.

"Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or
Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure.  Our
experience to date is that a majority of resolved claims are
dismissed without any payment from ITT subsidiaries.  Management
believes that a large majority of the pending claims have little or
no value.  In addition, because claims are sometimes dismissed in
large groups, the average cost per resolved claim can fluctuate
significantly from period to period.  ITT expects more
asbestos-related suits will be filed in the future, and ITT will
continue to aggressively defend or seek a reasonable resolution, as
appropriate.

"Asbestos litigation is a unique form of litigation.  Frequently,
the plaintiff sues a large number of defendants and does not state
a specific claim amount.  After filing a complaint, the plaintiff
engages defendants in settlement negotiations to establish a
settlement value based on certain criteria, including the number of
defendants in the case.  Rarely do the plaintiffs seek to collect
all damages from one defendant.  Rather, they seek to spread the
liability, and thus the payments, among many defendants.  As a
result of this and other factors, the Company is unable to estimate
the maximum potential exposure to pending claims and claims
estimated to be filed over the next 10 years."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Klopman-Baerselman Claims vs. Cost Less Dismissed
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert J. Bryan of the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Washington dismissed Defendant Cost Less Auto Parts,
Inc. from the case styled Eric Klopman-Baerselman, as Personal
Representative for the Estate of Rudie Klopman-Baerselman,
deceased, Plaintiff, v. Air & Liquid Systems Corporation, et al.,
Defendants, Case No. 3:18-cv-05536-RJB, (W.D. Wash.).

In the operative complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Rudie
Klopman-Baerselman ("Decedent") was exposed to asbestos-containing
products sold or supplied by Cost Less, causing Decedent injuries
for which Cost Less is liable. Decedent was diagnosed with
mesothelioma on approximately July 11, 2017, and died on Nov. 25,
2017.

The complaint provides that "Decedent was an employee of Royal
Dutch Lloyd, Rotterdam Lloyd and worked as a merchant mariner
assigned to several vessels. While performing his duties as a
boiler oilman/stoker from approximately 1955 through 1959, Decedent
was exposed to asbestos, asbestos-containing materials and products
while aboard the vessels." The complaint continues, "Decedent
performed all maintenance work on his vehicles specifically
friction work, during the approximate years 1966 through 1997.
Decedent was exposed to asbestos, asbestos materials and products
while performing vehicle maintenance."  

On July 11, 2019, Cost Less filed for Summary Judgment, arguing
that: (1) Plaintiff is unable to identify any evidence, admissible
or otherwise, that the Decedent was exposed to any
asbestos-containing products sold or supplied by Cost Less; (2)
Plaintiff is unable to identify any evidence, admissible or
otherwise, that the Decedent suffered a substantial exposure to
asbestos associated with any asbestos-containing products sold or
supplied by Cost Less; and (3) Plaintiff has failed to present
evidence sufficient to establish genuine issues of material fact
with respect to Plaintiff's claims of negligence, conspiracy,
strict liability under Section 402A and 402B of the Restatements of
Torts, and premises liability.

The Court cannot determine that there is sufficient evidence for a
jury to find that causation -- which is a necessary element of
Plaintiff's claim -- has been established. Plaintiff has not
offered admissible evidence establishing a reasonable connection
between Decedent's injury and death to products manufactured, sold,
or supplied by Cost Less; and Decedent's injury and death to Cost
Less. Plaintiff has not offered evidence showing, even viewed in a
light most favorable to Plaintiff, that Cost Less or products that
it sold or supplied caused Decedent's injuries and death.

While Plaintiff has provided testimony from witnesses showing that
Decedent shopped for automotive parts at Cost Less, however, none
of the witnesses appear to have identified an asbestos-containing
product that Decedent purchased from Cost Less. Plaintiff has also
offered evidence of an ARI clutch found in Decedent's garage with a
hand-written Cost Less sticker on it, as well as evidence that Cost
Less sold ARI clutches, but Plaintiff has not shown from where the
clutch was purchased, nor, crucially, that it contains asbestos. In
addition, Plaintiff has provided evidence of asbestos-containing
Fel-Pro gaskets found in Decedent's garage, but Plaintiff has not
shown that they were purchased from Cost Less. Finally, Plaintiff
has offered evidence that Cost Less sold EIS brakes -- a brand of
brakes that Decedent may have used, but Plaintiff has not shown
that the EIS brakes that Defendant may have used were purchased
from Cost Less.

Therefore, the Court granted Cost Less's Motion for Summary
Judgment as to Plaintiff's Washington product liability claim.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Klopman-Baerselman to Amend Notice of Deposition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case entitled Eric Klopman-Baerselman, as Personal
Representative for the Estate of Rudie Klopman-Baerselman,
deceased, Plaintiff, v. Air & Liquid Systems Corporation, et al.,
Defendants, Case No. 3:18-cv-05536-RJB, (W.D. Wash.), Plaintiff
served O'Reilly with a notice of deposition requiring O'Reilly Auto
Enterprises, LLC to designate a FRCP 30(b)(6) corporate
representative, containing 52 topics of examination.

O'Reilly filed a Motion for Protective Order, arguing that "the
scope of plaintiff's notice of deposition is impossibly broad,
unduly burdensome, and disproportionate to the needs of this case.
The Court should issue a protective order, limiting the scope of
the upcoming deposition as requested in this motion."

Judge Robert J. Bryan of the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Washington said that he will not issue a protective
order at this time, but rather, he selected several topics that
needs Plaintiff's amendment. He directed Plaintiff to amend and
serve on O'Reilly the notice of deposition in conformity with these
guidelines:

      (A) Topic 4: O'Reilly's corporate history and business,
including the dates of inception; the asbestos containing products
it manufactured, distributed, and sold; the brands of brakes,
clutches, and gaskets it sold; the identity of its suppliers of
brakes, clutches, and gaskets; the quantity of brakes, clutches,
and gaskets it purchased and sold each year before 2003; the scope
of its business; the locations of its business; the locations of
production, distribution, and sale; yearly revenue from its
business before 2003; O'Reilly's total revenue from the years when
it was selling and distributing asbestos-containing brakes,
clutches, and/or gaskets; and O'Reilly's business relationship with
CSK Auto -- the Court noted that Topic 4 is overbroad, unduly
burdensome, and not proportional to the needs of the case. Portions
of Topic 4 appear to relate to all of O'Reilly's business activity,
regardless of its relationship, if any, to asbestos-containing
products or a particular geographic region or certain store
locations, which leaves O'Reilly, and the Court, to speculate.

      (B) Topic 7: The brands of brakes, clutches, and gaskets
Schucks sold before 2003 -- the Court found that Topic 7 lacks
reasonable particularity because it has no clear date range.
Moreover, the Court observed that Schucks was apparently founded in
1917, which may raise concerns of relevancy and proportionality.

      (C) Topics 8, 12-22, and 24: Sales Activity Topics -- these
topics are overbroad and lack reasonable particularity for having
no date range or an unclear date range.

      (D) Topics 25-26: O'Reilly's knowledge and understanding of
discovery and court orders -- these topics lack reasonable
particularity and are overbroad, not proportional to the needs of
the case, and not reasonably related to Plaintiff's claims.
Plaintiff argued these topics are necessary because "Plaintiff
believes that O'Reilly has perpetrated a fraud on the court and on
Plaintiff by repeatedly providing willfully false and misleading
responses to written discovery that directly contradict its prior
sworn testimony." However, the Court would only consider
Plaintiff's allegation by a motion. The Court would not allow
Plaintiff to subject O'Reilly to these overbroad topics.

      (E) Topic 28: O'Reilly's knowledge and understanding
regarding its purchase of CSK Auto, including the amount of money
it paid for CSK, all investigation and due diligence it performed
before purchasing the company, and the location and substance of
any documents it reviewed before purchasing CSK -- this topic is
overbroad and lacks reasonable particularity, especially its vague
reference to "all investigation and due diligence." Moreover, the
breadth of this topic does not appear proportional to the needs of
this case.

      (F) Topic 36-38: O'Reilly's corporate values and codes of
conduct, including its positions, beliefs, and opinions regarding
safety, public health, compliance with federal law, compliance with
state law, providing clean and safe products, conducting business
in an open and fair way, clarity and transparency in communication
and disclosure, moral obligations to customers, conscientiousness,
common sense, caring, doing what's right, warnings that clearly
provide the necessary information to the user, and the principle of
safe design -- this is overbroad and lacks reasonable
particularity, for instance, it is substantially unclear what
Plaintiff means by O'Reilly's "positions, beliefs, and opinions
regarding... caring, doing what's right."

      (G) Topics 40 & 41: The locations where O'Reilly's &
Schucks's businesses operated -- these topics lack particularity
because they have no date range. Moreover, they are overbroad and
not proportional to the needs of the case. The topics have no
geographical limitations related to Plaintiff's claims or to the
stores in Camas and Vancouver.

      (H) Topic 49: O'Reilly's knowledge, contentions, and opinions
regarding Rudie Klopman-Baerselman, his disease, his treatment, his
life, his exposures to asbestos, his family, his wife, his
children, his death, and this lawsuit -- this topic is overbroad
and lacks reasonable particularity. For example, a question
concerning O'Reilly's opinion on the life of Rudie
Klopman-Baerselman is almost boundless.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Kodak Escapes Insurer's Claims
-----------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a New York bankruptcy judge found that Eastman
Kodak Co.'s duty to indemnify Travelers Indemnity Co. for asbestos
claims against a defunct subsidiary ended when Kodak emerged from
bankruptcy in 2014, calling the insurer's arguments to the contrary
"nonsense."

Kodak asked the Bankruptcy Court to reopen its Chapter 11 case for
the limited purpose of considering its request to enforce the Plan
and Confirmation Order, including the discharge and injunction
provisions.  According to Kodak, asbestos litigation matters are
currently pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
Seventh Judicial District, Monroe County, for which at least
Travelers has affirmatively asserted that the Reorganized Debtor is
responsible for defending and indemnifying Travelers.

According to Travelers, the issue is already moot because Travelers
satisfied itself that Ridge, which is named in the lawsuits, is a
predecessor of Kodak and that no claim currently is being asserted
against Travelers by Ridge or anyone else in the Ridge lawsuits.
Travelers have withdrawn its request for defense and indemnity from
Kodak.

Travelers further argued that the 1998 Agreement of Settlement and
Release was not an executory contract, was not rejected in Kodak's
bankruptcy case, and thus still remains in full force and effect.

At a hearing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Wiles rejected
Traveler's arguments that he should hold off on ruling on Kodak's
request for an injunction until more facts are available about the
claims being made against the photo company's long-gone
construction affiliate, saying Kodak's liability under a
pre-Chapter 11 settlement could not have survived the end of the
bankruptcy case.

Judge Wiles ruled, "Travelers and Lumbermens are permanently
enjoined and barred from asserting claims for indemnification and
defense against the Reorganized Debtor based on the Settlement
Agreements . . . This injunction and bar applies, without
limitation, to any suit, proceeding, action, litigation or
arbitration, brought in law or equity, brought in court or
otherwise."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: MRC Global Still Faces 575 Lawsuits at June 30
---------------------------------------------------------------
MRC Global Inc. continues to defend itself against approximately
575 lawsuits involving approximately 1,151 claims as of June 30,
2019, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "We are one of many defendants in lawsuits that
plaintiffs have brought seeking damages for personal injuries that
exposure to asbestos allegedly caused.  Plaintiffs and their family
members have brought these lawsuits against a large volume of
defendant entities as a result of the defendants' manufacture,
distribution, supply or other involvement with asbestos, asbestos
containing-products or equipment or activities that allegedly
caused plaintiffs to be exposed to asbestos.  These plaintiffs
typically assert exposure to asbestos as a consequence of
third-party manufactured products that our MRC Global (US) Inc.
subsidiary purportedly distributed.

"As of June 30, 2019, we are named a defendant in approximately 575
lawsuits involving approximately 1,151 claims.  No asbestos lawsuit
has resulted in a judgment against us to date, with a majority
being settled, dismissed or otherwise resolved.  Applicable
third-party insurance has substantially covered these claims, and
insurance should continue to cover a substantial majority of
existing and anticipated future claims.  Accordingly, we have
recorded a liability for our estimate of the most likely settlement
of asserted claims and a related receivable from insurers for our
estimated recovery, to the extent we believe that the amounts of
recovery are probable."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: St. Louis Jurors Award Former Mechanic $8.4MM
--------------------------------------------------------------
Heather Isringhausen Gvillo, writing for Madison-St. Clair Record,
reported that a St. Louis jury awarded a former mechanic and his
wife $8.433 million in an asbestos trial against Ford Motor
Company.

The jury reached a verdict in favor of plaintiffs Al and Pam
Bennett on Aug. 22 in Judge Christopher McGaugh's courtroom.

Jurors awarded Al Bennett $5,725,000 in actual damages and $2
million in punitive damages. They also awarded Pam Bennett $708,000
in actual damages, finding that she "did sustain damage as a direct
result of injury to her husband."

In an Aug. 30 order, the verdict was reduced by $1,497,500 for
set-offs. As a result, Al Bennett was awarded $4,392,311.13 in
actual damages and $2 million in punitive damages. Pam Bennett was
awarded $543,188.87 in actual damages.

The Bennetts were represented by Chris Layloff and Jason Steinmeyer
of Gori Julian & Associates PC in Edwardsville.

Ford Motor Company was represented at trial by Sherry Ann Rozell,
Brita Cantrell and Steve Ward of McAfee & Taft, according to the
docket sheet.

"Chris and I couldn't be more honored to represent Al and Pam,"
Steinmeyer stated in a press release following the verdict.
"Although Al is currently suffering from pleural mesothelioma, we
hope that this sizable verdict will help him and his family find
some peace during this difficult time."

Bennett was born and raised in St. Louis. He had been employed as a
mechanic at Ford, Mercury and Lincoln automobile dealerships from
the 1960s until the 1980s.

According to his complaint, Bennett was allegedly exposed to
asbestos fibers by working with brakes, gaskets, clutches and OEM
replacement parts. Bennett later developed pleural mesothelioma in
his right lung.

Following retirement, Bennett moved to South County, where he
currently resides and seeks treatment.

According to a press release, Al Bennett was undergoing treatment
and was unable to attend trial. Pam Bennett attended on his
behalf.

"Chris and Jason are always fighting tirelessly for their clients,
and this case is no exception," founding partner Randy Gori stated.
"I'm extremely proud of our team and their effort in obtaining
justice for Mr. and Mrs. Bennett."

"We're happy to achieve justice for our clients, especially
wonderful people like Al and Pam," Layloff stated. "Hopefully this
verdict serves as a lesson for companies large and small; when
companies do wrong, they should expect to face justice."

According to asbestos filing numbers reported by Washington-based
consulting group KCIC, Gori Julian filed the most asbestos cases in
the nation with 348 cases at mid-year. Compared to last year, the
firm filed 306 cases at mid-year in 2018, representing a 13.7
percent increase.

St. Louis City Circuit Court is ranked as the fourth largest
asbestos docket in the nation, with Madison County remaining the
largest asbestos docket in the country. In St. Louis, mid-year
filings show an increase of 75 percent with 117 filed this year.
There were 67 asbestos cases filed at mid-year in 2018.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Standard Motor Appeals New Burden in Calif. Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Motor Products, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2019, that it is pursuing "all rights of appeal"
regarding the February 2019 amended court verdict that increased
the Company's responsibility in an asbestos liability case in
California.  

The Company states, "In accordance with our policy of performing an
annual actuarial evaluation in the third quarter of each year, and
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
additional provisions may be necessary, an actuarial study was
performed as of August 31, 2018.  The results of the August 31,
2018 study included an estimate of our undiscounted liability for
settlement payments and awards of asbestos-related damages,
excluding legal costs and any potential recovery from insurance
carriers, ranging from US$37.1 million to US$56.9 million for the
period through 2061.  Based upon the results of the August 31, 2018
actuarial study, in September 2018 we increased our asbestos
liability to US$37.1 million, the low end of the range, and
recorded an incremental pre-tax provision of US$3.5 million in
earnings (loss) from discontinued operations.

"During 2018, we were involved in an asbestos liability case in
California, in which a jury returned a verdict, in November 2018,
in favor of the plaintiff for the gross amount of US$8.6 million in
compensatory damages.  Of this amount, we were held responsible for
approximately US$7.4 million.  In February 2019, the court amended
the verdict on the judgment, thereby increasing our responsibility
to approximately US$7.6 million.  We are pursuing all rights of
appeal.  While the verdict is being appealed, interest will accrue
at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

"As a result of the California asbestos liability case, in the
fourth quarter of 2018, our actuarial firm revised the results of
the August 31, 2018 study.  The results of the revised actuarial
study increased the low end of the estimated range of our
undiscounted liability for settlement payments and awards of
asbestos-related damages, excluding legal costs and any potential
recovery from insurance carriers, from US$37.1 million to US$46.7
million, and increased the high end of the range from US$56.9
million to US$83.9 million for the period through 2061.  Based upon
the results of the revised actuarial study, in December 2018, and
in accordance with our practice, we increased our asbestos
liability to US$46.7 million, the low end of the range, and
recorded an additional incremental pre-tax provision of US$10.1
million in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations.  Future
legal costs, which are expensed as incurred and reported in
earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, are estimated,
according to the revised study, to range from US$45 million to
US$83.1 million.

"We plan to perform an annual actuarial evaluation during the third
quarter of each year for the foreseeable future and whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that additional provisions may
be necessary.  Given the uncertainties associated with projecting
such matters into the future and other factors outside our control,
we can give no assurance that additional provisions will not be
required.  We will continue to monitor events and changes in
circumstances surrounding these potential liabilities in
determining whether to perform additional actuarial evaluations and
whether additional provisions may be necessary.  At the present
time, however, we do not believe that any additional provisions
would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our
liquidity or consolidated financial position."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Standard Motor Had 1,540 Fibro Cases at June 30
----------------------------------------------------------------
Approximately 1,540 cases were outstanding at June 30, 2019, for
which Standard Motor Products, Inc., may be responsible for any
related liabilities in connection to its former brake business,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "In 1986, we acquired a brake business, which
we subsequently sold in March 1998 and which is accounted for as a
discontinued operation in the accompanying statement of operations.
When we originally acquired this brake business, we assumed future
liabilities relating to any alleged exposure to asbestos-containing
products manufactured by the seller of the acquired brake business.
In accordance with the related purchase agreement, we agreed to
assume the liabilities for all new claims filed on or after
September 2001.  Our ultimate exposure will depend upon the number
of claims filed against us on or after September 2001, and the
amounts paid for settlements, awards of asbestos-related damages,
and defense of such claims.

"At June 30, 2019, approximately 1,540 cases were outstanding for
which we may be responsible for any related liabilities.  Since
inception in September 2001 through June 30, 2019, the amounts paid
for settled claims are approximately US$29.8 million.  We do not
have insurance coverage for the indemnity and defense costs
associated with the claims we face."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: TriMas Corp. Had 366 Pending Cases at June 30
--------------------------------------------------------------
TriMas Corporation has 366 pending asbestos-related personal injury
cases as of June 30, 2019, according to the Company's Form 10-Q
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "As of June 30, 2019, the Company was a party
to 366 pending cases involving an aggregate of 4,806 claims
primarily alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos
containing materials formerly used in gaskets (both encapsulated
and otherwise) manufactured or distributed by certain of its
subsidiaries for use primarily in the petrochemical, refining and
exploration industries.

"In addition, the Company acquired various companies to distribute
its products that had distributed gaskets of other manufacturers
prior to acquisition.  The Company believes that many of its
pending cases relate to locations at which none of its gaskets were
distributed or used.

"The Company may be subjected to significant additional
asbestos-related claims in the future, the cost of settling cases
in which product identification can be made may increase, and the
Company may be subjected to further claims in respect of the former
activities of its acquired gasket distributors.  The Company is
unable to make a meaningful statement concerning the monetary
claims made in the asbestos cases given that, among other things,
claims may be initially made in some jurisdictions without
specifying the amount sought or by simply stating the requisite or
maximum permissible monetary relief, and may be amended to alter
the amount sought.  The large majority of claims do not specify the
amount sought.

"Of the 4,806 claims pending at June 30, 2019, 61 set forth
specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory
minimum or maximum).  At June 30, 2019, of the 61 claims that set
forth specific amounts, there were no claims seeking specific
amounts for punitive damages.

"In addition, relatively few of the claims have reached the
discovery stage and even fewer claims have gone past the discovery
stage.

"Total settlement costs (exclusive of defense costs) for all such
cases, some of which were filed over 25 years ago, have been
approximately US$9.2 million.  All relief sought in the asbestos
cases is monetary in nature.  To date, approximately 40% of the
Company's costs related to settlement and defense of asbestos
litigation have been covered by its primary insurance.  Effective
February 14, 2006, the Company entered into a coverage-in-place
agreement with its first level excess carriers regarding the
coverage to be provided to the Company for asbestos-related claims
when the primary insurance is exhausted.  The coverage-in-place
agreement makes asbestos defense costs and indemnity insurance
coverage available to the Company that might otherwise be disputed
by the carriers and provides a methodology for the administration
of such expenses.  The Company's primary insurance exhausted in
November 2018, and the Company will be solely responsible for
defense costs and indemnity payments prior to the commencement of
coverage under this agreement, the duration of which would be
subject to the scope of damage awards and settlements paid.

"Based on the settlements made to date and the number of claims
dismissed or withdrawn for lack of product identification, the
Company believes that the relief sought (when specified) does not
bear a reasonable relationship to its potential liability.  Based
upon the Company's experience to date, including the trend in
annual defense and settlement costs incurred to date, and other
available information (including the availability of excess
insurance), the Company does not believe these cases will have a
material adverse effect on its financial position and results of
operations or cash flows."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Weil Atty Closing Remarks in J&J Talc Trial Struck
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that a New Jersey judge struck the entire closing
argument of a Johnson & Johnson attorney who told a jury that
"lawsuit fiction" dominated claims by four mesothelioma victims,
giving the Weil Gotshal partner a stern rebuke about her conduct.

Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Anna C. Viscomi struck the
closing argument of Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP's Diane Sullivan, who
repeatedly suggested during her summation that attorneys of the
four plaintiffs "created" evidence to back their claims that they
developed terminal cancer from using the company's talcum powder.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: WestRock Co. Had 800 PI Suits at June 30
---------------------------------------------------------
WestRock Company is still facing approximately 800 personal injury
lawsuits related to asbestos matters as of June 30, 2019, according
to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019.

The Company states, "We have been named a defendant in
asbestos-related personal injury litigation.  To date, the costs
resulting from the litigation, including settlement costs, have not
been significant.  As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately
800 such lawsuits.  We believe that we have substantial insurance
coverage, subject to applicable deductibles and policy limits, with
respect to asbestos claims.

"We also have valid defenses to these asbestos-related personal
injury claims and intend to continue to defend them vigorously.
Should the volume of litigation grow substantially, it is possible
that we could incur significant costs resolving these cases.  We do
not expect the resolution of pending asbestos litigation and
proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows.  In any given period
or periods, however, it is possible such proceedings or matters
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows."
