2:21-cv-03361-RMG (D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action
against the Defendants for negligence, battery, inadequate warning,
design defect, strict liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of
express and implied warranties, wantonness, and per quod claim.

According to the complaint, the Defendants have failed to use
reasonable and appropriate care in the design, manufacture,
labeling, warning, instruction, training, selling, marketing, and
distribution of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products
containing synthetic, toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
collectively known as PFAS. The Defendants' AFFF products are
dangerous to human health because PFAS are highly toxic and
carcinogenic chemicals and can accumulate in the blood and body of
exposed individuals. The Defendants have also failed to warn public
entities and firefighter trainees who they knew would foreseeably
come into contact with their AFFF products. Plaintiff Mark Slone
used the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in their
intended manner, without significant change in the products'
condition due to inadequate warning about the products' danger. He
relied on the Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of
the products, the suit says.

As a result of the alleged exposure to the Defendants' AFFF
products, Plaintiff Mark Slone was diagnosed with testicular
cancer.

GE Interlogix, Inc., Defendants, Case No. 2:21-cv-03341-RMG
(D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants
for negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, and wantonness.

The case arises from the Defendants' failure to use reasonable and
appropriate care in the design, manufacture, labeling, warning,
instruction, training, selling, marketing, and distribution of
aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic,
toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as
PFAS, which are highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. The
Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products are dangerous as PFAS
binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to the material
and remains and persists over long periods of time. Due to their
unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and body
of exposed individuals. Further, the Defendants failed to warn
public entities, firefighter trainees who they knew would
foreseeably come into contact with their AFFF products, or
firefighters employed by either civilian and/or military employers
that use of and/or exposure to the Defendants' AFFF products
containing PFAS and/or its precursors would pose a danger to human
health. Due to inadequate warning, the Plaintiff used the
Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in their intended manner,
without significant change in the products' condition. The
Plaintiff relied on the Defendants' instructions as to the proper
handling of the products, says the suit.

As a result of the Defendants' alleged omissions and misconduct,
the Plaintiff was diagnosed with prostate cancer due to his
exposure to the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products during
the course of his training and firefighting activities.

(D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants
for negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, and wantonness.

The case arises from severe personal injuries sustained by the
Plaintiff as a result of his exposure to the Defendants' aqueous
film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic, toxic per-
and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as PFAS. The
Defendants failed to use reasonable and appropriate care in the
design, manufacture, labeling, warning, instruction, training,
selling, marketing, and distribution of their PFAS-containing AFFF
products and also failed to warn public entities and firefighter
trainees, including the Plaintiff, who they knew would foreseeably
come into contact with their AFFF products that use of and/or
exposure to the products would pose a danger to human health. Due
to inadequate warning, the Plaintiff was exposed to toxic chemicals
and was diagnosed with kidney cancer, the suit alleges.

2:21-cv-03360-RMG (D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action
against the Defendants for negligence, battery, inadequate warning,
design defect, strict liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of
express and implied warranties, wantonness, and per quod claim.

The case arises from the Defendants' failure to use reasonable and
appropriate care in the design, manufacture, labeling, warning,
instruction, training, selling, marketing, and distribution of
aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic,
toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as
PFAS, which are highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. The
Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products are dangerous as PFAS
binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to the material
and remains and persists over long periods of time. Due to their
unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and body
of exposed individuals. Further, the Defendants failed to warn
public entities, firefighter trainees who they knew would
foreseeably come into contact with their AFFF products, or
firefighters employed by either civilian and/or military employers
that use of and/or exposure to the Defendants' AFFF products
containing PFAS and/or its precursors would pose a danger to human
health. Due to inadequate warning, Plaintiff Chase Edward Burch
used the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in their
intended manner, without significant change in the products'
condition. He relied on the Defendants' instructions as to the
proper handling of the products, says the suit.

As a result of the Defendants' alleged omissions and misconduct,
Plaintiff Chase Edward Burch was diagnosed with testicular cancer
due to his exposure to Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products
during the course of his training and firefighting activities.

GE Interlogix, Inc., Defendants, Case No. 2:21-cv-03343-RMG
(D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants
for negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, and wantonness.

The Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory and punitive damages
arising out of serious medical conditions and complications
sustained as a direct result of his exposure to the Defendants'
aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic,
toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as
PFAS at various locations during the course of his training and
firefighting activities. The Defendants failed to use reasonable
and appropriate care in the design, manufacture, labeling, warning,
instruction, training, selling, marketing, and distribution of
their PFAS-containing AFFF products. Further, the Defendants failed
to warn public entities and firefighter trainees, including the
Plaintiff, who they knew would foreseeably come into contact with
their AFFF products, or firefighters employed by either civilian
and/or military employers that use of and/or exposure to the
Defendants' AFFF products containing PFAS and/or its precursors
would pose a danger to human health. Due to inadequate warning, the
Plaintiff used the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in
their intended manner, without significant change in the products'
condition, says the suit.

As a result of the Defendants' alleged omissions and misconduct,
the Plaintiff was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

2:21-cv-03362-RMG (D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action
against the Defendants for negligence, battery, inadequate warning,
design defect, strict liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of
express and implied warranties, and wantonness.

The case arises from the Defendants' failure to use reasonable and
appropriate care in the design, manufacture, labeling, warning,
instruction, training, selling, marketing, and distribution of
aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic,
toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as
PFAS, which are highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. The
Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products are dangerous as PFAS
binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to the material
and remains and persists over long periods of time. Due to their
unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and body
of exposed individuals. Further, the Defendants failed to warn
public entities, firefighter trainees who they knew would
foreseeably come into contact with their AFFF products, or
firefighters employed by either civilian and/or military employers
that use of and/or exposure to the Defendants' AFFF products
containing PFAS and/or its precursors would pose a danger to human
health. Due to inadequate warning, Plaintiff Justin Husom used the
Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in their intended manner,
without significant change in the products' condition. He relied on
the Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of the
products, says the suit.

As a result of the Defendants' alleged omissions and misconduct,
Plaintiff Justin Husom was diagnosed with testicular cysts and
kidney illness due to his exposure to the Defendants'
PFAS-containing AFFF products during the course of his training and
firefighting activities.

for negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, wantonness, and per quod claim.

According to the complaint, the Defendants have failed to use
reasonable and appropriate care in the design, manufacture,
labeling, warning, instruction, training, selling, marketing, and
distribution of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products
containing synthetic, toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
collectively known as PFAS. The Defendants' AFFF products are
dangerous to human health because PFAS are highly toxic and
carcinogenic chemicals and can accumulate in the blood and body of
exposed individuals. The Defendants have also failed to warn public
entities and firefighter trainees who they knew would foreseeably
come into contact with their AFFF products. Plaintiff Jeb Moore
used the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in their
intended manner, without significant change in the products'
condition due to inadequate warning about the products' danger. He
relied on the Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of
the products, says the suit.

As a result of the alleged exposure to the Defendants' AFFF
products, Plaintiff Jeb Moore was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

GE Interlogix, Inc., Defendants, Case No. 2:21-cv-03352-RMG
(D.S.C., October 13, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants
for negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, and wantonness.

The Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory and punitive damages
arising out of serious medical conditions and complications
sustained as a direct result of his exposure to the Defendants'
aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic,
toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as
PFAS at various locations during the course of his training and
firefighting activities. The Defendants failed to use reasonable
and appropriate care in the design, manufacture, labeling, warning,
instruction, training, selling, marketing, and distribution of
their PFAS-containing AFFF products. Further, the Defendants failed
to warn public entities and firefighter trainees, including the
Plaintiff, who they knew would foreseeably come into contact with
their AFFF products, or firefighters employed by either civilian
and/or military employers that use of and/or exposure to the
Defendants' AFFF products containing PFAS and/or its precursors
would pose a danger to human health. Due to inadequate warning, the
Plaintiff used the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in
their intended manner, without significant change in the products'
condition, says the suit.

As a result of the Defendants' alleged omissions and misconduct,
the Plaintiff was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

7-ELEVEN INC: Fails to Provide Warnings on E-Cigarette, Ali Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISTIAN ALI, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. 7-ELEVEN, INC., Defendant, Case No.
1:21-cv-23588 (S.D. Fla., Oct. 13, 2021) alleges false and
misleading representations and omissions of the Defendant's sale
and marketing of e-cigarettes in its convenience store, known as
JUUL E-Cigarettes.

According to the complaint the Defendant markets the products as a
safer or at least comparable alternative to cigarettes when in fact
they are not because a single JUUL e-cigarette delivers the same
amount of nicotine as an entire pack of traditional cigarettes; the
products highly concentrated nicotine delivery system causes users
to easily become addicted to the harmful products. The Defendant
provides No Warning that the products are far more potent and
addictive than conventional cigarettes, says the suit.

Despite the Defendant's actual knowledge of the extremely high
nicotine content and wealth of information elucidating the
inordinate hazards of the products, Defendant failed to warn that
the Products it markets and sells are far more potent and addictive
than tobacco cigarettes, the suit added.

7-Eleven, Inc. owns and operates chain of convenience stores. The
Company offers cold drinks, candy, pizzas, groceries, tobacco

CHARLES INDUSTRIES: Jenkins Sues Over Biometric Data Collection
---------------------------------------------------------------
JOHN JENKINS and MATTHEW BULLARD, on behalf of themselves and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. CHARLES INDUSTRIES, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 2021L001047 (Ill. Cir., Dupage Cty., Oct. 1,
2021) seeks damages and other legal and equitable remedies
resulting from the illegal actions of Defendant in collecting,
storing and using the Plaintiffs' biometric identifiers and
information without obtaining informed written consent or providing
the requisite data retention and destruction policies, in direct
violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.

The Plaintiffs assert that the Defendant has been engaged in a
practice of requiring employees to "clock in" using their
handprints since April 2016. By collecting Plaintiffs' unique
biometric identifiers and/or biometric information without their
consent, written or otherwise, Defendant invaded Plaintiffs
statutorily protected right to privacy in their biometrics, the
Plaintiffs added.

enclosure solutions for communications and power distribution
applications.[BN]

CM LIFE SCIENCES: Franchi Suit Asserts Breach of Fiduciary Duty
---------------------------------------------------------------
Anthony Franchi, on behalf of himself and all other similarly
situated stockholders of CM Life Sciences, Plaintiff, v. CM Life
Sciences III Inc., Amy Abernethy, Eli D. Casdin, Chrisitan Henry,
Keith A. Meister, Kwame Owusu-Kesse, Chad Robins and Harlan Robins,
Defendants, Case No. 2021-0842, (Del. Ch., September 30, 2021),
assert a claim against CM Life Sciences III Inc. and its board of
directors for breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

CM Life Sciences III is a dual-class special purpose acquisition
company, a non-operational shell company formed exclusively to
raise capital and then acquire a private company. Its board was
soliciting a combined vote of both classes of common stock
regarding an amendment to the company's certificate of
incorporation.

In seeking this approval, the board is allegedly attempting to
force the CM Life Sciences' Class A Common Stockholders to vote
together with the Class B Common Stockholders. Delaware General
Corporation Law, however, provides the Class A Common Stockholders
the right to vote as a separate class on the proposed Share
Increase Amendment. Its board is seeking approval of an amendment
to the company's Charter to increase the authorized shares of Class
A Common Stock from 380 million to 1.25 billion shares. The share
increase amendment must be voted on by Class A Common Stockholders,
voting as a class.

On July 6, 2021, CM Life Sciences announced that it had entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire pharmaceutical
company EQRx, Inc. which will result in the conversion of its
Sponsor Shares into $138 million of Class A Common Stock,
representing a more than 550,000% return on the initial $25,000
purchase price of the Sponsor Shares.

Franchi seeks to enjoin the Share Increase Amendment vote unless
and until a separate vote of Class A Common Stockholders is
solicited, as required by the DGCL. [BN]

CONSUMER SAFETY: Files Cross-Appeal in Dover Case to 6th Cir.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Defendant Consumer Safety Tech, LLC filed a cross-appeal from a
court ruling entered in the lawsuit styled ANTHONY DOVER, Plaintiff
v. CONSUMER SAFETY TECHNOLOGY, LLC, d/b/a INTOXALOCK, Defendant,
Case No. 20-cv-04321, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Ohio at Columbus.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on Aug. 30, 2021, Judge
Algenon L. Marbley of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Ohio, Eastern Division, granted Defendant Intoxalock's
Motion to Dismiss.

Plaintiff Dover brought this putative class action against
Defendant Intoxalock under the Consumer Leasing Act (CLA"), 15
U.S.C. Section 1667, and its implementing regulations, 12 C.F.R.
Section 1013, et seq. ("Regulation M") on Aug. 24, 2020. Defendant
Intoxalock leases its ignition interlock devices through the use of
"consumer leases" to lessees.

On May 18, 2020, the Defendant installed an ignition interlock
device in Mr. Dover's vehicle. In connection with that
installation, Plaintiff signed the lease at issue. The Plaintiff
contends that Defendant violated the CLA and Regulation M in
multiple respects by failing to make Plaintiff's payment
obligations as "clear and conspicuous" as the statute and
regulation require.

On September 17, 2021, the Plaintiff sought a review of the order
dismissing his case.

The Defendant now requests a review of the Court's order as it
failed to grant all of the relief requested.

The appellate case is captioned as Anthony Dover v. Consumer Safety
Tech, LLC, Case No. 21-3893, in the United States Court of Appeals
for the Sixth Circuit, filed on Oct. 1, 2021.

The briefing schedule in the Appellate Case states that:

   -- First brief is due on Nov. 10, 2021;

CORNERSTONE AUTOMOTIVE: Baker Sues Over Failure to Pay All OT Wages
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiffany Baker, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, and on behalf of the general public v. CORNERSTONE
AUTOMOTIVE SANTA MONICA, LLC, a California Limited Liability
Company, and DOES 1 through 10, inclusive, Case No. 21STCV37793
(Cal. Super. Ct., Oct. 13, 2021), is brought pursuant to the
California Labor Code as a result of the Defendants' failure to
compensate all overtime wages.

According to the complaint, the Defendants have had a consistent
policy of failing to pay all final wages due at termination or
within 72 hours after separation to all employees in California,
and failing to provide employees with accurately itemized wage
statements. The Defendants further failed to pay premium wages to
the Plaintiff and all other aggrieved employees who were denied
meal and rest breaks. The Plaintiff and the Defendant's California
employees were routinely unable, and not authorized to take their
10 minute rest periods and were also unable to take an
uninterrupted 30 minute meal break for every shift they worked.

Specifically, the Plaintiff was forced to continue working through
their meal and rest breaks in order to assist the Defendant's
needs. Because of this, the Plaintiff was unable to take their
required meal and rest breaks. Moreover, the Defendants failed to
pay premium wages of one hour's pay for each missed meal and rest
break to the Plaintiff and the Defendants' California employees who
were denied timely meal and rest breaks, in violation of Labor
Code. The Plaintiff also claims that the Defendants have failed to
pay all overtime wages due to non-exempt employees. As a result,
employees are not properly compensated for work performance in
excess of 8 hours in a workday and work performed in excess of 40
hours in a workweek at a rate of no less than one and one-half
times the regular rate of pay, says the complaint.

The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendants in Los Angeles County,
California.

CYTODYN INC: Bid to Reconsider Naming of Lead Plaintiff Pending
---------------------------------------------------------------
CytoDyn Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2021, for the quarterly
period ended August 31, 2021, that the motion to reconsider the
court's lead plaintiff order is pending.

On March 17, 2021, a stockholder filed a putative class-action
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Washington against the Company and certain current and former
officers.

The complaint generally alleges the defendants made false and
misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a
potential treatment for COVID-19.

The plaintiff seeks a ruling for the case to proceed as a class
action and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees and costs.

On April 9, 2021, a second stockholder filed a similar putative
class action lawsuit in the same court, which the plaintiff
voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 23, 2021.

On August 9, 2021, the court appointed lead plaintiffs for the
lawsuit; a motion to reconsider the court's lead plaintiff order is
pending.

The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of
wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the
matter.

CytoDyn said, "Since this case is in an early stage where the
number of plaintiffs is not known, and the claims do not specify an
amount of damages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential
loss or range of loss the Company may incur."

CytoDyn Inc., a biotechnology company, focuses on the clinical
development and commercialization of humanized monoclonal
antibodies for the treatment and prevention of human
immunodeficiency virus infection. The Company is based in
Vancouver, Washington.


CYTODYN INC: Facing Certificate of Incorporation Related Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
CytoDyn Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2021, for the quarterly
period ended August 31, 2021, that the company is facing a putative
class-action lawsuit related to its Certificate of Incorporation,
specifically Article VI, Section 5.

On September 22, 2021, a putative class-action lawsuit was filed
against the Company and its board members in the Delaware Court of
Chancery.

The complaint generally alleges that Article VI, Section 5 of the
Company's certificate of incorporation, which concerns the removal
of directors ("Removal Provision"), violates Delaware law.

The plaintiffs seek a ruling that the case may proceed as a class
action, a declaration that the Removal Provision is invalid and
unenforceable, an order enjoining the defendants from attempting to
enforce the Removal Provision, and attorneys' fees and costs.

The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of
wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the
matter.

CytoDyn said, "In light of the fact that this case is in an early
stage, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the
lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range
of loss that the Company may incur."

CytoDyn Inc., a biotechnology company, focuses on the clinical
development and commercialization of humanized monoclonal

DALLAS, TX: Dobbins Appeals Civil Rights Suit Dismissal
-------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiffs Yolanda Dobbins filed an appeal from a court ruling
entered in the lawsuit styled Yolanda Dobbins, Lily Godinez, and
Megan Nordyke, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly
situated v. The City of Dallas, and Dallas County, Case No.
3:20-CV-1727, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Texas, Dallas.

The lawsuit is an action brought by Plaintiffs seeking damages from
Defendants for acts of unlawful arrest, excessive force, inadequate
training, false arrest, and negligent hiring, retention, and
supervision, and intentional emotional injury committed by members
of the Dallas Police Department as agents of Defendants. The
Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves, and those
similarly situated, as Defendants subjected lawful protestors to
unlawful arrest and excessive force in violation of Plaintiffs'
constitutional rights. The Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief to put
an end to Defendants' policies that violate 42 U.S.C. Section 1983
and the U.S. Constitution and that continue to threaten Plaintiffs'
constitutional right to peacefully and nonviolently protest in the
City of Dallas.

The Plaintiffs now seek a review of the Court's Memorandum Opinion
and Order dated August 25, 2021, dismissing the case with prejudice
for failure to state a claim.

The appellate case is captioned as Dobbins v. City of Dallas, Case
No. 21-10983, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit,
filed on Sept. 30, 2021.[BN]

DELOITTE LLP: Singh Sues Over Breaches of Fiduciary Duties
----------------------------------------------------------
Rupinder Singh, Jeffrey S. Popkin, Joni Walker and Jenny Mark,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v.
DELOITTE, LLP, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DELOITTE, LLP, THE
RETIREMENT COMMITTEE OF DELOITTE, LLP and JOHN DOES 1-30, Case No.
1:21-cv-08458 (S.D.N.Y., Oct. 13, 2021), is brought on behalf of
the Deloitte 401(k) Plan and the Deloitte Profit Sharing Plan ("PSP
Plan"); pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, against the Plans' fiduciaries, which include Deloitte, LLP
and the Board of Directors of Deloitte, LLP and its members during
the Class Period and the Retirement Committee of Deloitte, LLP and
its members during the Class Period for breaches of their fiduciary
duties.

According to the complaint, the Plans' assets under management
qualifies them as jumbo plans in the defined contribution plan
marketplace, and among the largest plans in the United States. As
jumbo plans, the Plans had substantial bargaining power regarding
the fees and expenses that were charged against participants'
investments. Defendants, however, did not try to reduce the Plans'
expenses or exercise appropriate judgment to scrutinize each
investment option that was offered in the Plans to ensure they were
prudent.

The Plaintiffs allege that during the putative Class Period
Defendants, as "fiduciaries" of the Plans, as that term is defined
under ERISA, breached the duties they owed to the Plans, to
Plaintiffs, and to the other participants of the Plans by, inter
alia, failing to control the Plans' administrative and
recordkeeping costs. Defendants' mismanagement of the Plans, to the
detriment of participants and beneficiaries, constitutes a breach
of the fiduciary duty of prudence, in violation of the ERISA. Their
actions were contrary to actions of a reasonable fiduciary and cost
the Plans and its participants millions of dollars. Based on this
conduct, the Plaintiffs assert claims against the Defendants for
breach of the fiduciary duty of prudence (Count One) and failure to
monitor fiduciaries (Count Two), says the complaint.

The Plaintiffs participated in the 401(k) Plan investing in the
options offered by the 401(k) Plan.

Deloitte is the sponsor of the Plans and a named fiduciary of both
the 401(k) Plan and the PSP Plan.[BN]

ELEKTA INC: Faces Bowsky Class Suit Over Alleged Data Breach
------------------------------------------------------------
DARRYL BOWSKY, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. ELEKTA INC. and NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL
HEALTHCARE, Defendants, Case: 1:21-cv-05431 (N.D. Ill., Oct. 13,
2021) arises from the Defendants' individual and collective
failures to secure and protect the Plaintiff's and Class Members'
sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure to criminal
third parties.

According to the complaint, between April 2, 2021 and April 20,
2021, Elekta experienced a ransomware attack and subsequent data
breach that allowed hackers to gain unauthorized access to Elekta's
cloud-based radiology software ("Data Breach") that allowed access
and extractions of the personal and medical information of oncology
patients throughout the United States.

Due to Elekta's inadequate data security, which failed to comply
with federal and state law and failed to meet industry data privacy
standards, an unauthorized third party used compromised credentials
to gain access to Elekta's digital environment. Thereafter, the
unauthorized third-party gained access to, and then exfiltrated,
the files and records of various businesses customers of Elekta,
including Northwestern Memorial, the suit alleges.

As a result of the Defendants alleged collective failures to
implement and follow reasonable security procedures, the sensitive
information is now in the possession of criminal networks placing
the Plaintiff and the Class Members at risk for identity theft.

Northwestern Memorial HealthCare operates as a non-profit
healthcare organization. The Hospital offers medical treatment
services such as asthma, brain tumor, cardiovascular, diabetes,
cancer care, rehabilitation, imaging, and laboratory. [BN]

FERRELLGAS PARTNERS: Bid for Class Certification in MO Suit Pending
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferrellgas, L.P. said in its Form 10-K report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2021, for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, that the motion for class
certification in the putative class action suit headed by indirect
purchasers of barbeque cylinders, is pending.

The company has been named as a defendant, along with a competitor,
in putative class action lawsuits filed in multiple jurisdictions.
The lawsuits, which were consolidated in the Western District of
Missouri on October 16, 2014, allege that the company and a
competitor coordinated in 2008 to reduce the fill level in barbeque
cylinders and combined to persuade a common customer to accept that
fill reduction, resulting in increased cylinder costs to direct
customers and end-user customers in violation of federal and
certain state antitrust laws.

The lawsuits seek treble damages, attorneys' fees, injunctive
relief and costs on behalf of the putative class.

These lawsuits have been coordinated for pretrial purposes by the
multidistrict litigation panel. The Federal Court for the Western
District of Missouri initially dismissed all claims brought by
direct and indirect customers other than state law claims of
indirect customers under Wisconsin, Maine and Vermont law.

The direct customer plaintiffs filed an appeal, which resulted in a
reversal of the district court's dismissal.

The company filed a petition for a writ of certiorari which was
denied. An appeal by the indirect customer plaintiffs resulted in
the court of appeals affirming the dismissal of the federal claims
and remanding the case to the district court to decide whether to
exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law
claims.

Thereafter, in August 2019, the company reached a settlement with
the direct customers, pursuant to which the company agreed to pay a
total of $6.25 million to resolve all claims asserted by the
putative direct purchaser class.  

With respect to the indirect customers, the district court
exercised supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law
claims, but then granted in part the company's pleadings-based
motion and dismissed 11 of the 24 remaining state law claims.  

As a result, there were 13 remaining state law claims brought by a
putative class of indirect customers.

On September 23, 2021, the court held an oral argument on the
indirect purchaser plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
Thereafter, the court denied the indirect purchaser plaintiffs'
motion for class certification, and a final order on the motion is
being prepared.

At this point the only remaining claims are the 13 named
plaintiffs' individual state claims, which has the effect of
substantially reducing the company's potential liability.

Ferrellgas said, We believe we have strong defenses and intend to
vigorously defend ourselves against these remaining individual
claims.  We do not believe loss is probable or reasonably estimable
at this time.

Ferrellgas, L.P., is primarily engaged in the retail distribution
of propane and related equipment sales. It was formed on April 22,
1994, and is a Delaware limited partnership. The Company serves
residential, industrial/commercial, portable tank exchange,
agricultural, wholesale and other customers in all 50 states, the

HOME DEPOT: Carlson Bid to Certify Class Partly Granted
-------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit captioned as CHRIS CARLSON v. HOME DEPOT
USA INC, THE HOME DEPOT INC, Case No. 2:20-cv-01150-MJP (W.D.
Wash.) came before the District Court on Plaintiff Carlson's Motion
for Class Certification and Defendants' Motion to Deny Class
Certification. Having reviewed the motions, the Hon. Judge Marsha
J. Pechman entered an order granting Carlson's motion in part and
denies Home Depot's motion in part, certifying all but the CPA
claim for class treatment as to the following class:

   "All individuals employed by Home Depot as in-store
   supervisors or specialists in Washington State at any time
   between June 26, 2017 and the date of this Order;"

The Court said, "Carlson may pursue his CPA claim, but only on an
individual basis. The clerk is ordered to provide copies of this
order to all counsel. The Court finds that Carlson has satisfied
the elements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a) and 7 23(b)(3)."

Chris Carlson claims his former employer, Home Depot, failed to
provide him with timely and full rest and meal breaks due to Home
Depot's company-wide policies, culture, and practices.

Carlson brings four claims against Home Depot for: failure to
provide timely and full meal breaks as required by Washington law;
failure to provide timely and full rest breaks as required by
Washington law; willful withholding of wages in violation of the
Wage Rebate Act; and violating the Consumer Protection Act by
manipulating time punch records.

Carlson was an in-store supervisor in Home Depot's Federal Way
store for many years.

Home Depot is a home improvement retailer in the United States,
supplying tools, construction products, and services.

HYZON MOTORS INC: Faces Brennan Suit Over Drop in Share Price
-------------------------------------------------------------
MARK BRENNAN, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. HYZON MOTORS INC. f/k/a DECARBONIZATION PLUS
ACQUISITION CORPORATION; ERIK ANDERSON; PETER HASKOPOULOS; CRAIG
KNIGHT; and MARK GORDON, Defendants, Case No. 1:21-cv-01118
(W.D.N.Y., Oct. 13, 2021) is a federal securities class action on
behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities who
purchased or otherwise acquired the publicly traded securities of
Hyzon between February 9, 2021 and September 27, 2021, both dates
inclusive, seeking to recover damages under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.

According to the complaint, on March 1, 2021, the Company filed an
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a Form 10-K
with the SEC (the "2020 Annual Report"). On May 13, 2021, the
Company filed an amendment to the 2020 Annual Report on a Form
10-K/A with the SEC. On May 24, 2021, the Company filed a Quarterly
Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 on Form 10-Q with the
SEC (the "1Q21 Report"). On June 21, 2021, the Company filed with
the SEC a Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the "Proxy Statement").
On July 22, 2021, the Company filed a Form 8-K, signed by Defendant
Knight announcing the closing of the merger, and incorporated the
Proxy Statement by reference and referral.

Allegedly, the Defendants made materially false and misleading
statements because they misrepresented and failed to disclose the
following adverse facts pertaining to the Company's business,
operational and financial results, which were known to the
Defendants or recklessly disregarded by them. Specifically, the
Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to
disclose that: (1) Hyzon was misrepresenting the nature of its
"customer" contracts and severely embellished its "deals" and
"partnerships" with customers; (2) Hyzon could not deliver its
announced vehicles in 2021, on its stated timeline; and (3) as a
result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and
misleading at all relevant times.

As a result of Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the
decline in the market value of the Company's securities, the
Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses
and damages, added the suit.

IDT CORP: Discovery in JDS1 Class Action Ongoing
------------------------------------------------
IDT Corporation  said in its Form 10-K report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2021, for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, that discovery is ongoing in the
class action suit initiated by JDS1, LLC.

On July 5, 2017, plaintiff JDS1, LLC, on behalf of itself and all
other similarly situated stockholders of Straight Path
Communications, Inc. (Straight Path), and derivatively on behalf of
Straight Path as nominal defendant, filed a putative class action
and derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware against the Company, The Patrick Henry Trust (a trust
formed by Howard S. Jonas that held record and beneficial ownership
of certain shares of Straight Path he formerly held), Howard S.
Jonas, and each of Straight Path's directors.

The complaint alleges that the Company aided and abetted Straight
Path Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Davidi
Jonas, and Howard S. Jonas in his capacity as controlling
stockholder of Straight Path, in breaching their fiduciary duties
to Straight Path in connection with the settlement of claims
between Straight Path and the Company related to potential
indemnification claims concerning Straight Path's obligations under
the Consent Decree it entered into with the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC"), as well as the sale of Straight Path's
subsidiary Straight Path IP Group, Inc. to the Company in
connection with that settlement.

That action was consolidated with a similar action that was
initiated by The Arbitrage Fund.

The Plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, (i) a declaration
that the action may be maintained as a class action or in the
alternative, that demand on the Straight Path Board is excused;
(ii) that the term sheet is invalid; (iii) awarding damages for the
unfair price stockholders received in the merger between Straight
Path and Verizon Communications Inc. for their shares of Straight
Path's Class B common stock; and (iv) ordering Howard S. Jonas,
Davidi Jonas, and the Company to disgorge any profits for the
benefit of the class Plaintiffs. On August 28, 2017, the Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint.

On September 24, 2017, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint, which was ultimately denied, and which denial
was affirmed by the Delaware Supreme Court. The parties are engaged
in discovery.

The trial is currently scheduled for May 2022. The Company intends
to vigorously defend this matter.

IDT said, "At this stage, the Company is unable to estimate its
potential liability, if any."

IDT Corporation operates primarily in the telecommunications and
payment industries in the United States and internationally. The
company operates in two segments, Telecom & Payment Services, and
net2phone-Unified Communications as a Service. IDT was founded in
1990 and is headquartered in Newark, New Jersey.


IDT CORP: Settlement Agreement in Rosales Awaits Court Approval
---------------------------------------------------------------
IDT Corporation said in its Form 10-K report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2021, for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, that the parties in the putative
class action suit initiated by Jose Rosales are now seeking court
approval of a settlement agreement.

On January 22, 2019, Jose Rosales filed a putative class action
against IDT America, IDT Domestic Telecom and IDT International in
California state court alleging certain violations of employment
law. Plaintiff alleges that these companies failed to compensate
members of the putative class in accordance with California law.

In August 2019, the Company filed a cross complaint against Rosales
alleging trade secret and other violations.

The parties are now seeking court approval of a settlement
agreement.

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

KRAFT HEINZ: Jackson Files Mislabeling Suit Over Pizza Bagels
-------------------------------------------------------------
Latonya Jackson, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. Kraft Heinz Foods Company, Case No. 1:21-cv-05219 (N.D.
Ill., Oct. 2, 2021) arises from the Defendant's violation of the
Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and
the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act with regards to the representation
of its pizza bagels, purporting to contain mozzarella, cheddar and
Monterey Jack cheese and tomato sauce under its Ore Ida brand.

According to the complaint, relevant front label representations of
the product include "Three Cheese," "Mini Bagels with Mozzarella,
Cheddar, Monterey Jack Cheeses and Tomato Sauce," "Made With Real
Cheese," the "Real" dairy seal, "No High Fructose Corn Syrup," and
"No Artificial Flavors."

Allegedly, consumers including the Plaintiff are misled by the
representations because the front label omits that (1) starch,
nonfat milk, and whey are added to the "real" mozzarella cheese,
and (2) tomatoes are replaced with non-tomato thickeners including
cornstarch. Hence, the Defendant misrepresented and/or omitted the
attributes and qualities of the product, that it contained
mozzarella cheese, without added fillers, and tomato sauce
thickened by tomatoes, asserts the complaint.

Kraft Heinz Foods Company operates as a food and beverage company.
The Company offers sauces, meals, soups, snacks, and infant
nutrition products.[BN]

KROGER COMPANY: Schell Suit Seeks to Certify Manager Collective
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as THOMAS SCHELL and
CHRISTOPHER RILEY, on behalf of themselves and all
others similarly situated, v. THE KROGER COMPANY, Case No.
1:21-cv-00103-MRB (S.D. Ohio), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to
enter an order granting conditional certification and approval to
send notice of this lawsuit to all members of the following
proposed collective:

   "All current and former "Assistant Store Managers" who
   work(ed) for Kroger in its Central (Indianapolis), Michigan,
   Louisville, Dallas, Houston and Mid-Atlantic (Roanoke)
   divisions at any time on or after October 8, 2018 to the
   present, and who were classified as exempt from overtime  
   compensation (the "ASM Collective")."

The Plaintiffs contends that Defendant failed to pay them and all
other similarly-situated Assistant Store Managers ("ASMs") overtime
compensation in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA).

The Plaintiffs allege that he was improperly classified as exempt
and denied overtime compensation for all hours worked above 40 in a
work week. He was required to work in order to perform routine,
hourly tasks such as serving customers, ringing customers up on the
cash register, stocking shelves, unloading trucks, moving
merchandise, counting inventory, and cleaning the store, he adds.

The Kroger Company, or simply Kroger, is an American retail company
founded by Bernard Kroger in 1883 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the
United States' largest supermarket by revenue, and the
second-largest general retailer.

LESTER GLENN: Schneider Sues Over Unsolicited Prerecorded Messages

BARRY SCHNEIDER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly

No. 3:21-cv-17665-ZNQ-DEA (D.N.J., September 28, 2021) is a class

prerecorded messages.

As a result of the Defendant's unsolicited prerecorded messages,
the Plaintiff suffered additional harm in the form of invasion o
privacy, aggravation, annoyance, intrusion on seclusion, trespass,

LOOP INDUSTRIES: Bid to Nix Purported Securities Class Suit Pending
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Loop Industries, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2021, for the
quarterly period ended August 31, 2021, that the motion to dismiss
filed in the consolidated purported class action suit entitled, In
re Loop Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, Master File No.
7:20-cv-08538, is pending.

On October 13, 2020, the Company and certain of its officers were
named as defendants in a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
captioned Olivier Tremblay, Individually and on Behalf of All Other
Similarly Situated v. Loop Industries, Inc., Daniel Solomita, and
Nelson Gentiletti, Case No. 7:20-cv-0838 ("Tremblay Class Action").


The allegations in the complaint claim that the defendants
allegedly violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by allegedly making materially
false and/or misleading statements, as well as allegedly failing to
disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business,
operations, and prospects, which caused the Company's securities to
trade at artificially inflated prices.

Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a class of
purchasers of Loop's securities between September 24, 2018 and
October 12, 2020.

On October 28, 2020, the Company and certain of its officers were
named as defendants in a second proposed class-action lawsuit filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York, captioned Michelle Bazzini, Individually and on Behalf of
All Other Similarly Situated v. Loop Industries, Inc., Daniel
Solomita, and Nelson Gentiletti, Case No. 7:20-cv-09031-UA. The
allegations in this complaint are similar in nature to those made
in the Tremblay Class Action.

On January 4, 2021, the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York rendered a stipulation and order
granting the consolidation of the two class-action lawsuits filed
in New York as In re Loop Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation,
Master File No. 7:20-cv-08538.

Sakari Johansson and John Jay Cappa have been appointed as Co-Lead
Plaintiffs and Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP and Pomerantz LLP have
been appointed as Co-Lead Counsel for the class.

Plaintiffs served a consolidated amended complaint on February 18,
2021 which alleges defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and
Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making
materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as allegedly
failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's
business, operations, and prospects, which caused the Company's
securities to trade at artificially inflated prices.

The consolidated amended complaint relies on the October 13, 2020
report published by a third party regarding the Company to support
their allegations. Defendants served a motion to dismiss the
consolidated amended complaint on April 27, 2021.

Plaintiffs' opposition to the motion to dismiss was served on May
27, 2021 and Defendants' reply in support of the motion to dismiss
was served on June 11, 2021.

LOOP INDUSTRIES: Securities Class Suit Underway in Quebec
----------------------------------------------------------
Loop Industries, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2021, for the
quarterly period ended August 31, 2021, that the company continues
to defend a proposed securities class action suit in the Superior
Court of Quebec (District of Terrebonne, Province of Quebec,
Canada).

On October 13, 2020, the Company, Loop Canada Inc. and certain of
their officers and directors were named as defendants in a proposed
securities class action filed in the Superior Court of Québec
(District of Terrebonne, Province of Québec, Canada), in file no.
700-06-000012-205.

The Application for authorization of a class action and for
authorization to bring an action pursuant to section 225.4 of the
Québec Securities Act was filed by an individual shareholder on
behalf of himself and a class of buyers who purchased our
securities during the "Class Period" (not defined).

Plaintiff alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants
allegedly made false and/or misleading statements and allegedly
failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning the Company's
technology, business model, operations and prospects, thus causing
the Company's stock price to be artificially inflated and thereby
causing plaintiff to suffer damages.

Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages stemming from losses he claims
to have suffered as a result of the foregoing.

On December 13, 2020, the Application was amended in order to add
allegations regarding specific misrepresentations.

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

MICROSOFT CORP: Vance Seeks to Certify Class of Illinois Residents
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as STEVEN VANCE, et al., v.
MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Case No. 2:20-cv-01082-JLR (W.D. Wash.), the
Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order:

   1. certifying the proposed Classes:

      -- Class

         "All Illinois residents whose faces appear in
         photographs linked to in the DiF Dataset Defendant
         obtained;" and

      -- Alternative Subclass

         "All Illinois residents whose faces appear in
         photographs linked to in the Diversity in Faces (DiF)
         Dataset Defendant obtained and who uploaded the
         photographs to Flickr;"

   2. appointing Steven Vance and Tim Janecyk to represent the
      Classes; and

   3. appointing Carlson Lynch LLP and Loevy & Loevy as Class
      Counsel.

This case arises out of the alleged unlawful obtainment by
Microsoft in 2019 of the biometric identifiers and biometric
information ("Biometric Data") of Illinois residents through its
acquisition of the DiF Dataset.

The DiF Dataset was released by International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM") in 2019 and consisted of, inter alia: (a) URL
links to approximately one million photographs posted on the
photo-sharing website Flickr that contained facial images; and (b)
Biometric Data related to those linked images -- e.g., facial key
points extracted via a scan of the face geometry of the facial
images and related craniofacial measurements. By obtaining and
using the DiF Dataset without providing notice to, or obtaining the
written consent of, Illinois residents whose Biometric Data was
contained in the dataset, Defendant: (a) deprived those residents
of their ability to control their Biometric Data; (b) violated
Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"), which
provides special protections of the data at issue; and (c) unjustly
enriched itself.

On July 14, 2020, the Plaintiffs filed this putative class action
against Defendant for its unlawful conduct, alleging, among other
things, a violation of BIPA section 15(b) (Count One) and unjust
enrichment (Count Three). Resolution of the merits of those claims
is not presently before the Court.

Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology
corporation which produces computer software, consumer electronics,
personal computers, and related services.

NEW YORK: Second Circuit Appeal Filed in Gulino Suit re Hargrove
----------------------------------------------------------------
Defendant Board of Education of the City School District of the
City of New York filed an appeal from the District Court's Judgment
dated August 18, 2021, entered in the lawsuit styled GULINO, ET AL.
v. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY
OF NEW YORK, Case No. 96-cv-8414, in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York (New York City).

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the
Plaintiffs, a group of African-American and Latino teachers in the
New York City public school system, alleged that the Defendant, the
Board of Education of the City School District of the City of New
York, violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.
Section 2000e et seq., by requiring Plaintiffs to pass certain
racially discriminatory standardized tests in order to obtain a
license to teach in New York City public schools. Judge Constance
Baker Motley, to whom the case was originally assigned, certified
the plaintiff class on July 13, 2001, pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 23(b)(2).

On December 5, 2012, the Court decertified the Plaintiff class to
the extent it sought damages and individualized injunctive relief
in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
v. Dukes, 131 S.Ct. 2541 (2011). The class survived, however, to
the extent Plaintiffs sought relief that may be awarded under Rule
23(b)(2), including a declaratory judgment regarding liability and
class-wide injunctive relief.

The Defendant seeks a review of the Court's Judgment, classifying
Luevineue Hargrove as a member of the Plaintiff class in this
action, and holding that the Plaintiff is entitled to monetary and
injunctive relief from Defendant as compensation for the injuries
suffered as a result of what the Court found to be the Defendant's
discrimination.

The appellate case is captioned as In re: New York City Board of
Education, Case No. 21-2335, in the United States Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit, filed on Sept. 20, 2021.[BN]

NEWQUEST LLC: Misclassifies Workers, Lowe Suit Says
---------------------------------------------------
ELIZABETH LOWE, Individually and on behalf of all Others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. NEWQUEST LLC and CIGNA CORPORATION,
Defendants, Case No. 8:21-cv-02320-TPB-JSS (M.D. Fla., Oct. 1,
2021) arises from the Defendants' failure to pay for all hours
worked over 40 in each and every work week and unlawful
misclassification of employees in violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.

Ms. Lowe was first hired to work for Defendants in August 2019. She
routinely worked more than 40 hours in her workweeks, with the
knowledge of Defendants, and was never disciplined or warned for
doing so, nor was she paid a premium for all such overtime hours
worked, the suit alleges.

NORTH CENTRAL: Compton Seeks to Certify Class of Delivery Drivers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MICHAEL DEREK COMPTON,
individually and on behalf of similarly situated persons, v. NORTH
CENTRAL VIRGINIA RESTAURANTS, INC. d/b/a "Papa John's Pizza," Case
No. 5:20-cv-00073-TTC-JCH (W.D. Va.), the Plaintiff asks the Court
to enter an order:

   1. certifying a class action as to the Virginia minimum wage
      claim;

   2. designating Michael Compton as class representative;

   3. appointing the law firms of Weinhaus & Potashnick and
      Dolley Law LLC as Class Counsel;

   4. disseminating notice to the class;

The Plaintiff moves for class certification of his Virginia state
minimum wage claim on behalf of:

"all delivery drivers employed in Virginia by Defendant North
Central Virginia Restaurants, Inc. within the limitations period.

The Plaintiff contends that the Defendant only provides a partial,
and unreasonably low vehicle cost reimbursement to delivery drivers
in Virginia, resulting in minimum wage violations.

The Plaintiff seeks certification of a class of all current and
former Virginia delivery drivers employed by Defendant at any time
from January 25, 2018 [three years prior to the filing of the
Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint] through the present.

North Central is located in Winchester, Virginia and is part of the

NVR INC: Cossaboom Seeks to Certify Two FLSA Collectives
--------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MELISSA COSSABOOM f/k/a
MELISSA COLLINS, ANN ADAIR HATCH, and JESSICA PETTRY, on behalf of
themselves and all others similarly situated, v. NVR, INC. and NVR
MORTGAGE FINANCE, INC., Case No. 9:21-cv-80627-AMC (S.D. Fla.), the
Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order:

   1. conditionally certifying two separate collectives and
      authorize notice, pursuant to section 216(b) of the Fair
      Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"):

      -- the "Loan Officer Collective"

         "All Loan Officers and employees in similar positions
         who are or were employed by NVR, Inc. and/or NVR
         Mortgage Finance, Inc. in Florida at any time from
         March 31, 2018 through the present and beyond;" and

      -- the "Loan Processor Collective," together with the Loan
         Officer Collective the "FLSA Collectives"

         "All Loan Processors and employees in similar positions
         who are or were employed by NVR, Inc. and/or NVR
         Mortgage Finance, Inc. in Florida at any time from
         April 9, 2018 2 through the present and beyond;"

The Plaintiffs also seek authorization to send notice to members of
the FLSA Collectives to provide them the opportunity to join.

On March 31, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed this collective action on
behalf of all Loan Officers nationwide, seeking unpaid overtime
compensation pursuant to the FLSA.

On April 9, 2021, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint, expanding
the definition of the putative collective to include Loan
Processors employed at all of Defendants' locations nationwide. On
May 4, 2021, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended
complaint. The Defendants claimed that the Court lacked
jurisdiction over the non-Florida resident Named Plaintiff Joel
Hughes ("Hughes"), and other, non-Florida resident Opt-In
Plaintiffs. The Motion to Dismiss also challenged the joint
employment allegations of the Amended Complaint. The Plaintiffs
opposed on all points.

On June 8, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed their first Motion for FLSA
Conditional Certification. In that First Cond. Cert. Motion,
Plaintiffs sought conditional certification of an FLSA collective
comprised of similarly situated Loan Officers and
Loan Processors. The Defendants opposed conditional certification
based on, inter alia, the fact that two positions -- Loan Officers
and Loan Processors -- were included in one proposed FLSA
collective, as well as challenges to the common policy asserted by
Plaintiffs.

The Plaintiffs are Loan Officers and Loan Processors who worked for
the Defendants throughout Florida. The Plaintiffs assert that
Defendants intentionally denied them overtime compensation in
violation of the FLSA.

The Defendants are homebuilders which also provide home mortgages
to their homebuyers.

QAD INC: Nantahala Capital Putative Class Suit Underway
-------------------------------------------------------
QAD Inc. said in its Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission filed on October 12, 2021, that the purported
class action suit entitled, Nantahala Capital Partners II L.P. v.
QAD Inc., et al., is ongoing.

On June 28, 2021, QAD entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
to be acquired by Thoma Bravo (TB), a leading private equity
investment firm focused on the software and technology-enabled
services sector, in an all-cash transaction with an equity value of
approximately $2 billion.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to
satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, QAD shareholders
will receive $87.50 per share of Class A Common Stock or Class B
Common Stock. Assuming completion of the transaction, QAD will
become a private company.

In Nantahala Capital Partners II L.P. v. QAD Inc., et al., a
purported stockholder class action filed in Delaware Chancery Court
on July 2, 2021, the plaintiff alleges breaches of contract and
fiduciary duty against directors Anton Chilton, Scott Adelson,
Kathleen Crusco, and Peter van Cuylenburg (the "Director
Defendants"), and Pamela M. Lopker, as well as a claim for aiding
and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty against Thoma Bravo and
certain affiliates of Thoma Bravo relating to the QAD Board's vote
to approve the Merger Agreement.

The complaint names the Company as a defendant to the extent
necessary for any of the relief requested.

Plaintiff is seeking, among other things, to enjoin the Closing of
the Merger or, in the alternative, damages, including rescissory
damages. The plaintiff claims that the Contribution and Exchange
Agreement (pursuant to which and immediately prior to the Effective
Time, the Lopker Entities will contribute to Ultimate Parent the
Rollover Shares and, in exchange for such Rollover Shares, Ultimate
Parent will issue to the Lopker Entities the Parent Units) and the
Merger Agreement violate Article IV, Section 2.B(d) of QAD's
corporate charter, which provides that holders of Class A Common
Stock receive per Share consideration no less favorable than that
received by any holders of Class B Common Stock in any merger. The
plaintiff alleges that Ms. Lopker and the Director Defendants
breached Article IV, Section 2.B(d) of QAD's corporate charter,
that Ms. Lopker's participation in the separate Contribution and
Exchange Agreement with Thoma Bravo breached her fiduciary duties
to the Company, that the Director Defendants' approval of the
Merger breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, and that
Thoma Bravo and its affiliates aided and abetted those breaches.

In a supplement to their complaint, filed on August 16, 2021,
plaintiff alleges that the Director Defendants and Ms. Lopker
breached their fiduciary duties by disseminating a false,
misleading, and materially incomplete Proxy, and that Thoma Bravo
aided and abetted those breaches.

Specifically, plaintiff claims that the Proxy, issued on August 2,
2021, provides an inaccurate description of the events leading to
the Merger and the consideration that Ms. Lopker will receive in
connection with the Merger.

The Court ordered that the case proceed on an expedited basis, and,
on October 1, 2021, held a hearing on plaintiff's motion for a
preliminary injunction. On October 8, 2021, the Court ordered a
limited injunction for at least twenty days after the Company
issued two corrective disclosures, which the Company made on Form
8-K filed on October 12, 2021, and otherwise denied plaintiff's
motion. The Company believes the plaintiff's claims are without any
merit.

Headquartered in Santa Barbara, Calif., QAD Inc. is a global
provider of enterprise software applications, professional services
and application support for manufacturing companies. QAD software
is used at approximately 6,000 sites by manufacturing companies
that operate mainly in six industries: automotive, consumer
products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products
and life sciences.


RESURGENT CAPITAL: Mack Appeals FDCPA Suit Dismissal to 7th Cir.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff Yvonne Mack filed an appeal from a court ruling entered
in the lawsuit styled YVONNE MACK, individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. RESURGENT CAPITAL
SERVICES, L.P., and LVNV FUNDING, LLC, Defendants, Case No.
1:18-cv-06300, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois, Eastern Division.

Plaintiff Mack defaulted on a consumer debt acquired by Defendant
LVNV Funding, LLC and serviced by Defendant Resurgent. After she
disputed her debt in response to an initial collection letter, she
received another form letter from Resurgent that included language
as to how to dispute the validity of the debt. Mack contends that
this second form letter violated Sections 1692e and 1692f of the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), 15 U.S.C. Section
1692, et seq., because, by repeating the validation language, the
second letter used false or deceptive means to collect or attempt
to collect her debt.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on Sept. 20, 2021, Judge
Sara L. Ellis granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss, and
dismissed the case without prejudice.

Judge Ellis found that the Plaintiffs' actions do not rise to the
level of detriment the Seventh Circuit has required for standing in
FDCPA cases, particularly because the June 18 letter's inclusion of
a second validation notice did not adversely affect any interests
Congress sought to protect through the FDCPA and instead
effectively provided Mack with another opportunity to dispute her
debt if she had failed to properly do so upon receipt of the first
letter. Had Mack taken some action related to her debt management
choices, for example, "paid something she did not owe, or paid a
debt with interest running at a low rate when the money could have
been used to pay a debt with interest running at a higher rate,"
she could show concrete harm.

The Plaintiff now seeks a review of the dismissal order entered by
Judge Ellis.

The appellate case is captioned as Yvonne Mack v. Resurgent Capital
Services, L., et al., Case No. 21-2792, in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, filed on Oct. 1, 2021.

The briefing schedule in the Appellate Case states that:

SMITH'S FOOD: Lovendahl Suit Seeks to Certify ASM Collective
------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ISAIAH LOVENDAHL,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. THE
KROGER COMPANY; and SMITH'S FOOD & DRUG CENTERS, INC. d/b/a SMITH'S
FOOD & DRUG, Case No. 1:21-cv-00350-MRB (S.D. Ohio), the Plaintiff
asks the Court to enter an order granting conditional certification
and approval to send notice of this lawsuit to all members of the
following proposed collective:

   "All current and former "Assistant Store Managers" who
   work(ed) for Smith's Food & Drug in the United States at any
   time on or after October 8, 2018 to the present, and who were
   classified as exempt from overtime compensation (the "ASM
   Collective").

The Plaintiff contends that Defendant failed to pay them and all
other similarly-situated Assistant Store Managers ("ASMs") overtime
compensation in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA).

The Plaintiff alleges that he was improperly classified as exempt
and denied overtime compensation for all hours worked above 40 in a
work week. He was required to work in order to perform routine,
hourly tasks such as serving customers, ringing customers up on the
cash register, stocking shelves, unloading trucks, moving
merchandise, counting inventory, and cleaning the store, he adds.

The Kroger Company, or simply Kroger, is an American retail company
founded by Bernard Kroger in 1883 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the
United States' largest supermarket by revenue, and the
second-largest general retailer.

Smith's Food is a supermarket chain that was founded in 1911 in
Brigham City, Utah by Lorenzo Smith.

------------------------------------------------
SOS Limited said in its Form 20-F report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2021, for the

securities class action suit initiated by Kimberly Beltran
entitled, Kimberly Beltran v. SOS Limited, et al., Case No.
1:21-cv-07454.

On March 30, 2021, a purported shareholder Kimberly Beltran filed a
securities class action complaint in the United States District
Court District of New Jersey against the Company, Yandai Wang and

President of the Company's operating subsidiary, respectively.

claims and was responded to by the Company in a press release dated
March 1, 2021.

(AU) 2 Pty Ltd.

According to the complaint on October 5, 2021, Square filed a
Schedule 14A Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC. The Proxy
Statement, which recommends that Square stockholders vote in favor
of the Proposed Transaction, allegedly omits or misrepresents
material information concerning, among other things: (i) the data
and inputs underlying the financial valuation analyses that support
the fairness opinion provided by the Company's financial advisor
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("Morgan Stanley"); and (ii) the
background of the Proposed Transaction. Defendants authorized the
issuance of the false and misleading Proxy Statement in violation
of the Exchange Act. In short, unless remedied, Square's public
stockholders will be irreparably harmed because the Proxy
Statement's material misrepresentations and omissions prevent them
from making a sufficiently informed voting decision on the Proposed
Transaction, says the suit.

Square, Inc. provides mobile payment solutions. The Company
develops point-of-sale software that helps in digital receipts,
inventory, and sales reports, as well as offers analytics and

TCC WIRELESS: Donahue Sues Over Failure to Pay Proper Wages
-----------------------------------------------------------
ANDREW DONAHUE, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. TCC WIRELESS, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
2:21-cv-01123 (E.D.N.Y., September 28, 2021) is a collective and
class action complaint brought against the Defendant for its
alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and Wisconsin's
Wage Payment and Collection Laws.

The Plaintiff has worked for the Defendant as an hourly-paid and
non-exempt employee in the positions of Sales Associate from
approximately August 2016 and he was promoted to Assistant Store
Manager in 2021 until his employment ended in approximately August
2021.

The Plaintiff brings this complaint alleging the Defendant of
employing an unlawful compensation system by depriving him and
other similarly situated employees of their lawfully earned
compensation, including overtime compensation. The Defendant
allegedly failed to include all forms of non-discretionary
compensation, such as monetary bonuses, commissions, incentives,
awards, and/or other rewards and payments, in their regular rates
of pay for the purpose of calculating their overtime compensation.
As a result, despite regularly working more than 40 hours per week,
the Plaintiff and other similarly situated employees were not
properly paid overtime compensation at the rate of one and one-half
times their regular rates of pay for all hours worked in excess of
40 per workweek, says the suit.

TELEBRANDS CORP: Rash Suit Seeks to Certify Class
-------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as CHRISTOPHER RASH, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. TELEBRANDS
CORPORATION, Case No. 5:21-cv-00998-JWH-SP (C.D. Cal.), the
Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order:

   1. certifying the proposed class of:

      "all individuals and entities in California who purchased
      the Silver Bullet Hose, not directly from Defendant, from
      June 2017 to the present;"

   2. appointing him to serve as class representatives;

   3. appointing the undersigned to serve as class counsel; and

   4. directing him to submit a proposed notice plan and form of
      notice within a reasonable time following entry of this
      order.

The proposed class satisfies the numerosity, commonality,
typicality, and adequacy requirements of Rule 23(a). The class has
far more than 40 class members, the minimum number required by the
Ninth Circuit to satisfy the numerosity requirement, the Plaintiff
contend.

Telebrands designs and develops, advertises, sells, and distributes
expandable Silver Bullet (TM) garden water hoses (the "Silver
Bullet Hose") throughout California. Expandable garden water hoses
like the Silver Bullet are designed to grow into a full-sized hose
when in use and then shrink back to an original compact size when
dry and after the first use.

The Defendant advertises the Silver Bullet Hoses as being reliable
alternatives to conventional rubber garden hoses.

In approximately June 2019, the Plaintiff Christopher Rash, a fire
fighter, viewed a television infomercial for the Silver Bullet
Hose, which touted its qualities, including that it had a "DURABLE
OUTER SHELL: Pocket Hose Silver Bullet's exclusive Bullet Shell
outer casing won't snag, tear, or wear; inner tubing is
kink-proof," and led Mr. Rash to believe that it would be long
lasting and durable. In reliance on the representations in the
informercial, Plaintiff Rash purchased a 25-foot Silver Bullet Hose
for approximately $19.99 on Amazon.com.

Mr. Rash believes the hose he purchased lasted for approximately
four weeks before fraying, wearing out, developing pin-holes, and
leaking. Mr. Rash estimates that he used the hose fewer than
times.

TSR INC: Paskowitz Settlement Gets Final Approval
-------------------------------------------------
TSR, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2021, for the quarterly
period ended August 31, 2021, that the settlement in the class
action suit initiated by Susan Paskowitz, has been finally
approved.

On October 16, 2018, the Company was served with a complaint filed
on October 11, 2018 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
Queens County, by Susan Paskowitz, a stockholder of the Company,
against the Company; Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes;
former directors Christopher Hughes, Raymond A. Roel, Brian J.
Mangan, Regina Dowd, James J. Hill, William Kelly, and Eric Stein;
as well as stockholders Zeff Capital, L.P., QAR Industries, Inc.
and Fintech Consulting LLC.

The complaint purported to be a class action lawsuit asserting
claims on behalf of all minority stockholders of the Company. Ms.
Paskowitz alleged the following: the sale by Joseph F. Hughes and
Winifred M. Hughes of an aggregate of 819,491 shares of the
Company's common stock ("controlling interest") to Zeff Capital,
L.P., QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC was in breach
of Joseph F. Hughes' and Winifred M. Hughes' fiduciary duties and
to the detriment of the Company's minority stockholders; the former
members of the Board of Directors of the Company named in the
complaint breached their fiduciary duties by failing to immediately
adopt a rights plan that would have prevented Joseph F. Hughes and
Winifred M. Hughes from selling their shares and preserved a higher
premium for all stockholders; Zeff, QAR, and Fintech are "partners"
and constitute a "group." Ms. Paskowitz also asserted that Zeff
Capital, L.P., QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC
aided and abetted Joseph F. Hughes' and Winifred M. Hughes'
conduct, and ultimately sought to buy out the remaining shares of
the Company at an unfair price.

On June 14, 2019, Ms. Paskowitz filed an amended complaint in the
Stockholder Litigation in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, Queens County against the former members of the Board of
Directors and Zeff Capital, L.P., QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech
Consulting LLC, which asserted substantially similar allegations to
those contained in the October 11, 2018 complaint, but omitted
Regina Dowd, Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes as defendants.
In addition to the former members of the Board of Directors named
in the original complaint, the amended complaint named former
directors Ira Cohen, Joseph Pennacchio, and William Kelly as
defendants.

The amended complaint also asserted a derivative claim purportedly
on behalf of the Company against the named former members of the
Board of Directors.

The amended complaint sought declaratory judgment and unspecified
monetary damages. The complaint requested: (1) a declaration from
the court that the former members of the Board of Directors named
in the complaint breached their fiduciary duties by failing to
timely adopt a stockholder rights plan, which resulted in the loss
of the ability to auction the Company off to the highest bidder
without interference from Zeff Capital, L.P., QAR Industries, Inc.
and Fintech Consulting LLC; (2) damages derivatively on behalf of
the Company for unspecified harm caused by the named Directors'
alleged breaches of fiduciary duties; (3) damages and equitable
relief derivatively on behalf of the Company for the named
Directors' alleged failure to adopt proper corporate governance
practices; and (4) damages and injunctive relief against Zeff
Capital, L.P., QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC
based on their knowing dissemination of false or misleading public
statements concerning their status as a group. The complaint has
not assigned any monetary values to alleged damages.

On July 15, 2019, the Company filed an answer to the amended
complaint in the Stockholder Litigation and cross-claims against
Zeff Capital, L.P., QAR Industries, Inc. and Fintech Consulting LLC
for breaches of their fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting
breaches of fiduciary duties, and indemnification and contribution
based on their misappropriation of material nonpublic information
and their failure to disclose complete and accurate information in
SEC filings concerning their group actions to attempt a creeping
takeover of the Company, which was thereafter amended on July 26,
2019.

On December 21, 2018, the Company filed a complaint in the United
States District Court, Southern District of New York, against Zeff
Capital, L.P., Zeff Holding Company, LLC, Daniel Zeff, QAR
Industries, Inc., Robert Fitzgerald, Fintech Consulting LLC, and
Tajuddin Haslani for violations of the disclosure and anti-fraud
requirements of the federal securities laws under Sections 13(d)
and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the related
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, for failing to
disclose to the Company and its stockholders their formation of a
group and the group's intention to seize control of the Company
(the "SDNY Action").

The complaint requested that the court, among other things, declare
that the defendants have solicited proxies without filing timely,
accurate and complete reports on Schedule 13D and Schedule 14A in
violation of Sections 13(d) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act, direct
the defendants to file with the SEC complete and accurate
disclosures, enjoin the defendants from voting any of their shares
prior to such time as complete and accurate disclosures have been
filed, and enjoin the defendants from further violations of the
Exchange Act with respect to the securities of the Company.

On January 7, 2019, Ms. Paskowitz filed a related action against
Zeff Capital, L.P., Zeff Holding Company, LLC, Daniel Zeff, QAR
Industries, Inc., Robert Fitzgerald, Fintech Consulting LLC, and
Tajuddin Haslani in the Southern District of New York, which
asserted claims against them for breach of fiduciary duty and under
federal securities laws similar to those asserted in the Company's
action. Although the Company is not a party to Ms. Paskowitz's
action, the court has determined to treat the Company's and Ms.
Paskowitz's respective actions as related.

On August 7, 2019, following the Company's initial rescheduling of
the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2018 Annual Meeting")
for September 13, 2019 and the filing of Preliminary Proxy
Statements by the Company and Zeff Capital, L.P., Zeff Capital,
L.P. filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against
the Company seeking an order requiring the Company to hold its next
annual meeting of stockholders on or around September 13, 2019, and
obligating the Company to elect Class I and Class III directors at
that annual meeting.

On August 13, 2019, the Company filed a motion for preliminary
injunction in the SDNY Action in advance of the Company's 2018
Annual Meeting originally scheduled for September 13, 2019, and
requested leave to file a motion for expedited discovery. The Court
denied the Company's motion for preliminary injunction but ordered
Zeff Capital, L.P. to "make clear that the second set of directors"
described by Zeff Capital, L.P. in its preliminary proxy statement
"is contingent upon the resolution of a proceeding in Delaware
Chancery Court."

On August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement and
release agreement with the Investor Parties with respect to the
proxy contest pertaining to the election of directors at the 2018
Annual Meeting, which was held on October 22, 2019.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to forever
settle and resolve any and all disputes between the parties,
including without limitation disputes arising out of or relating to
the following litigations:

(i) The complaint relating to alleged breaches of fiduciary duties
filed on November 1, 2018 by Fintech Consulting LLC against the
Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery, which was previously
dismissed voluntarily;

(ii) The complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief for
violations of the federal securities laws filed on December 21,
2018 by the Company against the Investor Parties in the United
States District Court in the Southern District of New York;

(iii) Cross-claims relating to alleged breaches of fiduciary duties
and for indemnification and contribution filed on July 26, 2019 by
the Company against the Investor Parties in New York Supreme Court,
Queens County; and

(iv) The complaint to compel annual meeting of stockholders filed
on August 7, 2019 by Zeff Capital, L.P. against the Company in the
Delaware Court of Chancery.

No party admitted any liability by entering into the Settlement
Agreement. The Settlement Agreement did not resolve the Stockholder
Litigation filed by Susan Paskowitz against the Company, Joseph F.
Hughes, Winifred M. Hughes and certain former directors of the
Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on October
11, 2018.

Concurrently with the Settlement Agreement, the parties entered
into a share repurchase agreement which provided for the purchase
by the Company and Christopher Hughes, the Company's former
President and Chief Executive Officer, of the shares of the
Company's Common Stock held by the Investor Parties (the
"Repurchase").

The Settlement Agreement also contemplated that, if the Repurchase
was completed, the Company would make a settlement payment to the
Investor Parties at the closing of the Repurchase in an amount of
approximately $1,500,000 (the "Settlement Payment"). However, the
Repurchase and Settlement Payment were not completed by the
deadline of December 30, 2019.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, (1) the Company agreed to
adopt an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws,
dated April 9, 2015 (the "By-Laws Amendment"), providing that
stockholders of the Company owning at least forty percent (40%) of
the issued and outstanding Common Stock may request a special
meeting of stockholders; (2) the Investor Parties agreed not to
take any action to call or otherwise cause a special meeting of
stockholders to occur prior to December 30, 2019 (unless the
Company had failed to hold the 2018 Annual Meeting); (3) the
Company agreed to amend and restate the Company's Rights Agreement,
dated August 29, 2018 (the "Amended Rights Agreement"), to confirm
that a Distribution Date (as defined in the Amended Rights
Agreement) shall not occur as a result of any request by any of the
Investor Parties for a special meeting; (4) the Company agreed that
prior to the earlier of (A) the completion of the Repurchase and
the payment of the Settlement Payment and (B) January 1, 2020, the
Board of Directors shall not consist of more than seven (7)
directors.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the two nominees
for director made by Zeff Capital, L.P. were elected as directors
at the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting held on October 22, 2019.
Please see the Company's current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
SEC on October 21, 2019 for more information about the background
of the election of directors at the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, inasmuch as the
Repurchase was not completed and the Settlement Payment was not
made by December 30, 2019, the members of the Board of Directors
(other than the two directors who were nominated by Zeff Capital,
L.P. and elected as directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting) resigned
from the Board effective 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 30,
2019. Immediately thereafter, the two remaining directors appointed
Robert Fitzgerald to the Board of Directors. Please see the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December
31, 2019 for more information about the background and the
appointment of Robert Fitzgerald.

The foregoing is not a complete description of the terms of the
Settlement Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement. For a
further description of the terms of the Settlement Agreement and
the Share Repurchase Agreement, including copies of the Settlement
Agreement and Share Repurchase Agreement, please see the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on
September 3, 2019.

On October 21, 2019, the Company entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (the "MOU") with Susan Paskowitz providing for the
settlement of the Stockholder Litigation filed by Ms. Paskowitz on
October 11, 2018.

The MOU provides for the settlement of the claims by Ms. Paskowitz
that (1) the members of the Board named in the original complaint
allegedly breached their fiduciary duties by failing to immediately
adopt a rights plan that would have prevented the sale by Joseph F.
Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes of an aggregate of 819,491 shares of
the Company's common stock to the Investor Parties; (2) the members
of the Board named in the amended complaint allegedly breached
their fiduciary duties and failed to adopt proper corporate
governance practices; and (3) the Investor Parties acted as
"partners" and constituted a "group" in their purchase of shares
from Joseph F. Hughes and Winifred M. Hughes and knowingly
disseminated false or misleading public statements concerning their
status as a group.

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the Company will (1) implement
certain corporate governance reforms described in the MOU within 30
days of a final order and judgment entered by the court, and keep
these corporate governance reforms in place for 5 years from the
time of the final order and judgment; and (2) acknowledge that the
plaintiff, Ms. Paskowitz, and her counsel provided a substantial
benefit to the Company and its stockholders through the prosecution
of the Stockholder Litigation and other related actions filed by
Ms. Paskowitz described above.

On December 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Stipulation and
Agreement of Settlement with Susan Paskowitz in the Stockholder
Litigation, which retained the terms and conditions of settlement
of the Stockholder Litigation contained in the MOU described in the
preceding paragraph, with the addition that the Company will pay to
plaintiff's counsel an award of attorneys' fees and reimbursement
of expenses in the amount of $260,000 (the "Stockholder Litigation
Settlement").

The Stockholder Litigation Settlement does not contain any
admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the
parties, and provides for mutual releases by all parties. Each
stockholder of the Company is a member of the plaintiff class
unless such stockholder opts out of the class. The Stipulation is
independent of the Settlement Agreement and Share Repurchase
Agreement that the Company had entered into with the Investor
Parties.

On December 24, 2019, Ms. Paskowitz moved for preliminary approval
of the Stipulation. On May 21, 2020, the Court entered an order
preliminarily approving the Stipulation.

The Court conducted a settlement hearing on April 20, 2021 to
consider final approval of the Stipulation. On May 25, 2021, the
Court issued a final order and judgment approving all material
terms in the Stipulation.

Pursuant to the terms of the final order, the Court fully and
finally approved the settlement set forth in the Stipulation and
dismissed the Stockholder Litigation with prejudice. The settlement
payment was paid by the Company's insurance provider under its
insurance policy.

WILMINGTON TRUST: Appeals Denial of Bid to Dismiss Henry ERISA Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Defendants Wilmington Trust, N.A., et al., filed an appeal from a
court ruling entered in the lawsuit entitled MARLOW HENRY, on
behalf of the BSC Ventures Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
Plan, and on behalf of a class of all other persons similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. WILMINGTON TRUST, N.A., BRIAN C. SASS, and
E. STOCKTON CROFT IV, Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-01925-MN, in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

On Oct. 10, 2019, Plaintiff Marlow Henry filed the action under
Sections 404, 406, 409, 410, and 502(a) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C.
Sections 1104, 1106, 1109, 1110, and 1132(a), for purported losses
suffered by the BSC Ventures Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and its participants caused by Wilmington Trust when
it caused the Plan to buy shares of BSC Ventures Holdings, Inc. for
more than fair market value in 2016 and other relief.

The Plaintiff was an employee of BSC from January 2012 through
January 2019. In 2015, BSC adopted the Plan. Since that time, the
Plaintiff has been a participant in the Plan. On Jan. 14, 2016, the
Plan purchased BSC common stock from Defendants Sass and Cross and
others ("ESOP3 Transaction"). Wilmington Trust served as Trustee to
the Plan in connection with the ESOP Transaction. It is the ESOP
Transaction that is the basis for the litigation. The Plaintiff
alleges that the Plan overpaid for the stock and that the ESOP
Transaction was prohibited by ERISA Sections 406(a)(1)(A) and
406(a)(1)(D).

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on Sept. 28, 2021, Judge
Maryellen Noreika denied the Defendants' motion to dismiss the
Plaintiff's complaint pursuant to a mandatory arbitration clause.

The Defendants now seek a review of the order entered by Judge
Noreika.

The appellate case is captioned as MARLOW HENRY, on behalf of the
BSC Ventures Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and on
behalf of a class of all other persons similarly situated v.
WILMINGTON TRUST NA; BRIAN SASS; E. STOCKTON CROFT, IV, Case No.
21-2801, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third

WOOBI INC: Delivery Staff Seeks Unpaid Overtime, Minimum Wages
--------------------------------------------------------------
Angel Diaz, Bernabe Rueda Garcia and Miguel Garcia, individually
and on behalf of others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. First
Drunken Chicken Corp., Woobi Inc., Bokyoung Lim, and Dongmin Park,
Defendants, Case No. 21-cv-05428 (S.D. N.Y., September 30, 2021),
seeks to recover unpaid minimum and overtime wages and
spread-of-hours pay pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act of
1938 and New York Labor Law, including applicable liquidated
damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs.

Defendants own, operate, or control a Korean Restaurant located in
Astoria, New York, operating under the name "Lim's Kitchen (Bar &
Pocha)," where Plaintiffs were ostensibly employed as delivery
workers. They claim to have generally worked in excess of 40 hours
a week without overtime pay for hours in excess of 40 hours per
workweek and denied spread-of-hours premium for workdays exceeding
10 hours. Defendants allegedly disguised their actual duties in
payroll records by designating them as delivery workers instead of
non-tipped employees, thus allowing them to avoid paying Plaintiffs
at the minimum wage rate and enabled them to pay them at the
tip-credit rate. Plaintiffs also claim to have never received wage
statements and appropriate minimum wage. [BN]
