ALARMCO: Court Dismisses Akins' Complaints With Leave to Amend
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned Louiscreas Akins, Plaintiff v. Alarmco;
Thomas Wilson; Lynn Andrade; and Ira Creenbolt, Defendants, Case
No. 2:23-cv-01039-JAD-DJA (D. Nev.), Magistrate Judge Daniel J.
Albregts of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada
dismisses the Plaintiff's complaints with leave to amend.

Under 28 U.S.C. Section 1915, the Plaintiff is proceeding in this
action pro se and has requested authority to proceed in forma
pauperis. She also submitted complaints. Because the Court finds
that her application is complete, it grants her application to
proceed in forma pauperis.

However, because the Court finds that the Plaintiff is attempting
to bring a class action, which she cannot do as a pro se party, it
dismisses her complaints with leave to amend.

The Plaintiff filed the affidavit required by Section 1915(a).
Judge Albregts holds that the Plaintiff has shown an inability to
prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Accordingly, the
request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted under 28
U.S.C. Section 1915(a).

The Court dismisses the Plaintiff's complaint without prejudice.

Judge Albregts observes that the Plaintiff appears to be attempting
to bring a class action. Her complaint consists of: (1) two form
complaints for breach of contract, neither of which is filled out;
(2) a form civil complaint, which includes no facts and is not
completely filled out; (3) a complaint for employment
discrimination, which is missing pages; and (4) letters by other
people discussing their negative experiences while working at
Alarmco.

The last letter--written by the Plaintiff--lists all of the Alarmco
employees and indicates whether or not they are "interested,"
apparently in engaging in the lawsuit. However, Judge Albregts
opines, a pro se plaintiff may not prosecute a class action.

Because the Plaintiff could potentially amend her complaint to only
assert claims on her behalf, the Court dismisses the complaint
without prejudice and with leave to amend.

Judge Albregts, therefore, rules that the Plaintiff's application
to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. The Plaintiff will not be
required to pre-pay the filing fee. She is permitted to maintain
this action to conclusion without the necessity of prepayment of
any additional fees or costs or the giving of a security therefor.
This order granting leave to proceed in forma pauperis will not
extend to the issuance and/or service of subpoenas at government
expense.

The Clerk of Court is directed to file the Plaintiff's complaint
(ECF Nos. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6) on the docket but will
not issue summons.

The complaint (ECF Nos. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6) is
dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted, with leave to amend. The Plaintiff will have
until Nov. 29, 2023, to file an amended complaint if the noted
deficiencies can be corrected. If she chooses to amend the
complaint, the Plaintiff is informed that the Court cannot refer to
a prior pleading (i.e., the original complaint) to make the amended
complaint complete.

Judge Albregts explains that this is because, generally, an amended
complaint supersedes the original complaint. Local Rule 15-1(a)
requires that an amended complaint be complete without reference to
any prior pleading. Once a plaintiff files an amended complaint,
the original complaint no longer serves any function in the case.
Therefore, in an amended complaint, as in an original complaint,
each claim and the involvement of each Defendant must be
sufficiently alleged. Failure to comply with this order will result
in the recommended dismissal of this case.

AON PLC: 4th Cir. Affirms Favorable Ruling in ERISA-Related Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aon PLC disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 27, 2023, that on October 16, 2023 the
court's judgment, in favor of Aon, became final after the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued an opinion on
July 17, 2023 affirming the judgement of the District Court for the
Western District of North Carolina with respect to in a class
action lawsuit against Aon Hewitt Investment Consulting, Inc., now
known as Aon Investments USA, Inc., Lowe's Companies, Inc. and the
Administrative Committee of Lowe's Companies, Inc. filed on April
27, 2018 in the said District Court brought on behalf of
participants in the Lowe's 401(k) Plan.

Aon Investments provided investment consulting services to Lowe's
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The
plaintiffs contend that in 2015 Lowe's imprudently placed the
Hewitt Growth Fund in the plan's lineup of investments, the Hewitt
Growth Fund underperformed its benchmarks, and that Aon had a
conflict of interest in recommending the proprietary fund for the
plan.

The matter was tried to the Court the last week of June 2021, and
the Court entered judgment in favor of Aon on all claims on October
12, 2021. Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the United States Court
of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and oral argument took place on
December 7, 2022.

The plaintiffs allege the plan suffered over $200 million in
investment losses when compared to the eight funds it replaced. The
plaintiffs allege that Aon Investments breached its duties of
loyalty and prudence pursuant to ERISA.

Aon PLC is a British-American professional services and management
consulting firm that offers a range of risk-mitigation products.
The firm also provides data and analytics services, strategy
consulting through Aon Inpoint and investment banking advisory
through Aon Securities.


APPLE INC: Court Grants Smith Leave to File 3rd Amended Complaint
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr., of the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California grants the Plaintiffs' motion for
leave to amend their complaint and to modify the case management
schedule in the lawsuit titled CHRIS SMITH, et al., Plaintiffs v.
APPLE, INC., Defendant, Case No. 4:21-cv-09527-HSG (N.D. Cal.).

The lawsuit is a putative class action brought on behalf of
purchasers of Apple Watches. The Plaintiffs allege that First
Generation, Series 1 through Series 6, and Series SE Apple Watches
contain "an undisclosed and unreasonably dangerous safety hazard."
More specifically, the Plaintiffs allege that sudden swelling of
the watch batteries can cause the screen to detach, shatter, or
crack, exposing its razor-sharp edges and leading to operational
failure of the Watch and/or personal injuries.

The Plaintiffs allege that Apple failed to allot sufficient space
within the watch to prevent the screen issue, despite knowing that
the battery inside the Watch can suddenly swell. They further
allege that the watches have injured them and putative class
members, creating a substantial and material risk of serious
injury, including lacerations, cuts, abrasions, and other
injuries.

In their Second Amended Complaint ("SAC"), the Plaintiffs seek to
represent a nationwide class, an internet subclass, and
state-specific subclasses in Alabama, California, New York, Ohio,
Texas, and Florida. They assert the following causes of action
against the Defendant: (1) violations of the California Unlawful
Competition Law; (2) violations of the California Consumers Legal
Remedies Act; (3) fraud by omission under various state laws; (4)
violations of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; and (5)
violations of consumer protection laws in New York, Texas and
Florida.

The Plaintiffs seek leave to file a third amended complaint not to
add or change any legal claims or parties, but to conform their
definition of the Defect (and Apple's knowledge thereof) to the
evidence Apple has produced and the recent inspections of the named
Plaintiffs' Watches that have taken place.

Because the deadline to amend pleadings set in the Court's
scheduling order has passed, Judge Gilliam notes that the
Plaintiffs must meet the "good cause" standard of Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 16(b)(4). The Plaintiffs have done so here, and
thus, the Court grants their motion for leave to file the proposed
third amended complaint.

Despite the Defendant's insistence that the Plaintiffs were on
notice of the aspects of the expanded definition of the alleged
defect a year before the joint inspection, Judge Gilliam says the
record reflects that the Plaintiffs reasonably assessed a very
large (and ongoing) volume of discovery, and sought leave based on
their review of that discovery and the results of the expert
testing. The Court also agrees that the Plaintiffs are not adding
any new defendants or products, and are simply conforming their
factual allegations regarding the Defect (and Apple's knowledge of
it) to the evidence Apple has produced and the recent inspections.

Judge Gilliam holds that the Plaintiffs have established diligence
and good cause to amend their Complaint. Accordingly, the Court
grants the Plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend.

The Plaintiffs also move to modify the case management schedule.
The Defendant requests that the Court deny the Plaintiffs' motion
to amend in its entirety, but does not specifically set out its
position on their proposed extensions to the case schedule.

Given that the Court has now granted the Plaintiff's motion for
leave to amend the Complaint, the case schedule clearly will need
to be modified, Judge Gilliam says. However, since it is unclear
whether the Defendant agrees to the Plaintiffs' proposed amended
schedule, the Court directs the parties to meet and confer and file
a joint stipulation and proposed amended scheduling order through
class certification within one week of this order. The proposal
should reflect the Plaintiffs' counsel's commitment at the hearing
to file the class certification motion by January 2024.

If the parties cannot agree on a schedule, they must submit
separate proposed schedules, without argument, and the Court will
impose a schedule.

The Court grants the Plaintiffs' motion for leave to file a third
amended complaint. Because the Court has granted leave to file the
third amended complaint, the Defendant's motion to dismiss the
second amended complaint is terminated as moot.

ARAMARK CAMPUS: Joint Status Report Entered in Williams Class Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ARMAND WILLIAMS and ALAN

others similarly situated, v. ARAMARK CAMPUS, LLC, et al., Case No.

      settlement by December 7, 2023, they shall file a joint
status
      report, setting forth the status of settlement efforts and

FLSA section 216(b) collective action and California state-wide
class action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(3)."

Aterian Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly

Plaintiff -- and other servers and bartenders like Plaintiff -- an
hourly wage that is less than $7.25 per hour, which is the minimum
wage required by the FLSA. Instead of paying its servers and
bartenders the full minimum wage required by the FLSA, the

Defendant failed to comply the strict requirements for taking a tip
credit, says the suit.

BLOOM ENERGY: Continues to Defend LPPF Class Suit in California
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bloom Energy Corp. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Lincolnshire Police
Pension Fund class suit in the Superior Court of the State of
California, County of Santa Clara.

In March 2019, the Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund filed a class
action complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California,
County of Santa Clara, against the Company, certain members of its
senior management, certain of its directors and the underwriters in
its July 25, 2018 IPO alleging violations under Sections 11 and 15
of the Securities Act for alleged misleading statements or
omissions in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the
SEC in connection with the IPO.

Two related class action cases were subsequently filed in the Santa
Clara County Superior Court against the same defendants containing
the same allegations; Rodriquez vs Bloom Energy et al. was filed on
April 22, 2019 and Evans vs Bloom Energy et al. was filed on May 7,
2019. These cases have been consolidated.

Plaintiffs' consolidated amended complaint was filed with the court
on September 12, 2019.

On October 4, 2019, defendants moved to stay the lawsuit pending
the federal district court action discussed below.

On December 7, 2019, the Superior Court issued an order staying the
action through resolution of the parallel federal litigation
mentioned below.

The Company believes the complaint to be without merit and in
contravention of its forum selection clause in its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and it intends to defend this action
vigorously.

Bloom Energy is into clean, reliable alternative renewable energy

BLOOM ENERGY: Discovery Ongoing in Roberts Class Suit
------------------------------------------------------
Bloom Energy Corp. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that
discovery is ongoing for the Roberts class suit in the Northern
District of California.

In May 2019, Elissa Roberts filed a class action complaint in the
federal district court for the Northern District of California
against the Company, certain members of its senior management team,
and certain of its directors alleging violations under Sections 11
and 15 of the Securities Act for alleged misleading statements or
omissions in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the
SEC in connection with the IPO.

On September 3, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead
plaintiffs' counsel.

On November 4, 2019, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding
the underwriters in the IPO and the its auditor as defendants for
the Section 11 claim, as well as adding claims under Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), against the Company, and certain members of its
senior management team.

The amended complaint alleged a class period for all claims from
the time of our IPO until September 16, 2019.

On April 21, 2020, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint,
which continued to make the same claims and added allegations
pertaining to the restatement and, as to claims under the Exchange
Act, extended the putative class period through February 12, 2020.


On July 1, 2020, the Company and the other defendants filed motions
to dismiss the second amended complaint.

On September 29, 2021, the court entered an order dismissing with
leave to amend (1) five of seven statements or groups of statements
alleged to violate Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and (2)
all allegations under the Exchange Act. All allegations against our
auditors were also dismissed.

Plaintiffs elected not to amend the complaint and instead on
October 22, 2021 filed a motion for entry of final judgment in
favor of its auditors so that plaintiffs could appeal the dismissal
of those claims.

The court denied that motion on December 1, 2021 and in response
plaintiffs filed a motion asking the court to certify an
interlocutory appeal as to the accounting claims.

The court denied plaintiffs’ motion on April 14, 2022.

The claims for violation of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities
Act that were not dismissed by the court entered the discovery
phase.

Bloom Energy is into clean, reliable alternative renewable energy

BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON: Faces Langley Suit Over Disclosures
--------------------------------------------------------
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q
report for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in October 27, 2023,
that it is currently facing a putative class action lawsuit in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
on June 19, 2017 by a purported stockholder of the company filed
styled "Langley v. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp.," No.
17-cv-00696 naming the company, its Chief Executive Officer, and
its Chief Financial Officer as defendants purportedly on behalf of
all purchasers of the company's securities from May 19, 2016
through June 15, 2017.

On September 5, 2017, the court named two lead plaintiffs, and on
October 20, 2017, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended
complaint. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder,
alleging misrepresentations or omissions by the company purporting
to relate to matters that are the subject of a Department of
Justice investigation.

The plaintiffs seek to recover from the company and the individual
defendants an unspecified amount of damages. On September 22, 2023,
plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend the dismissed amended

BRANCH BANKING: SCSFCU Seeks to Certify Class Action
----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Sevier County Schools
Federal Credit Union et al., v. Branch Banking and Trust Company,
Case No. 3:19-cv-00138-TRM-DCP (D. Tenn.), the Plaintiffs ask the
Court to enter an order:

   1. Certifying the case as a mandatory class action for
injunctive
      and declaratory relief pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a) and
as
      an opt-out class action for damages pursuant to Rule 23(b);

   2. Defining the class, the class claims, issues and defenses as

      requested;

   3. Appointing the Plaintiffs' attorneys as class counsel;

   4. Directing the best notice practicable to the class members,
      including individual notice to all class members who can be
      identified through reasonable effort;

   5. Directing BB&T to take every reasonable and necessary step to

      contact the class members to ensure that they receive their
      award, to offer to reopen their accounts or restore the
      balances, as the case may be, to bring home to them the
benefit
      of doing so, to accomplish these communications by a neutral

      outside agent to be paid for by the bank, to order BB&T to
make
      monthly reports to Plaintiffs' counsel of its steps in this
      regard, and to require BB&T to submit a proposal as to how it

      will accomplished these directives, which will be subject to

      Court approval, and

   6. Granting all other general relief to which the Plaintiffs are

      entitled.

The Plaintiffs -- and each class member—are similarly situated
and have sustained damages as a result of BB&T's breach of
contract.

More specifically, the Plaintiffs and all other class members
opened "high-interest Money Market Investment Accounts" (MMIAs)
with First National Bank of Gatlinburg (one of BB&T’s predecessor
banks).

The key feature of the "high-interest" MMIAs was that the subject
accounts had an interest rate that was "guaranteed [to] never fall
below 6.5%!" The guaranteed interest rate was contained in various
writings and confirmed through the course of conduct of BB&T and
its predecessor banks. It was honored for more than 25 years and
spanned multiple bank mergers/acquisitions. However, in 2018, BB&T
precipitously dropped the interest rate on all of the subject
accounts below of the guaranteed floor of 6.5%, first to 1.05% or
0.75%, and then to 0.01%, effectively doing away with a meaningful
rate entirely.

The Complaint alleges that BB&T has breached a contract entered
into by its predecessor bank [First National Bank of Gatlinburg] by
doing away with an interest rate that was "guaranteed to never fall
below 6.5%!" on certain accounts known as Money Market Investment
Accounts [MMIAs]. This interest rate is referred to hereinafter as
the
Guaranteed Rate or the Guaranteed Interest Rate.

The class is defined as all those who:

    1) opened MMIAs with FNB with an interest rate guaranteed to
never
       fall below 6.5%,

    2) who then converted their MMIAs to Maintenance Accounts which

       had the same features as the MMIAs (including the guaranteed

       6.5% interest rate) except that they could not make
additional
       deposits into the accounts, and who still maintained their
       accounts at BB&T on or about January 30, 2018 [the Benchmark

       Date], when BB&T announced that it was going to do away with

       the guaranteed interest rate and dropped the interest rate
to
       1.05% or .75% and then to 0.01%.

The Plaintiffs would divide the class into two sub-classes for
administrative purposes, with one subclass being account holders
who signed signature cards on which it stated that FNB could adjust
the interest rate, and the other subclass being account holders who
did not sign such a card.

Branch Banking was one of the largest banking and financial
services firms.

BRIGHTHOUSE LIFE INSURANCE: Continues to Defend Kennedy Class Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q
Report for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023,
that the Company continues to defend itself from the Kennedy class
suit in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts.

Kennedy v. Progress Software Corporation, et al. (U.S. District
Court, District of Massachusetts, filed October 3, 2023). BHF has
been named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit.

The action relates to a data security incident at an alleged
third-party vendor, PBI Research Services (“PBI”), and
allegedly involves the MOVEit file transfer system that PBI uses in
its provision of services ("MOVEit Incident").

As it relates to BHF, plaintiff seeks to certify a subclass of
persons whose private information was allegedly maintained by BHF
and accessed or acquired in connection with the MOVEit Incident.

Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that BHF negligently chose
to utilize PBI to store and transfer plaintiff's and purported
class members' private information despite PBI's use of the MOVEit
software which plaintiff contends contained security
vulnerabilities.

The complaint asserts claims against BHF for negligence, negligence
per se, and unjust enrichment, and plaintiff seeks declaratory and
injunctive relief, damages, attorneys' fees and prejudgment
interest.

BHF intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Brighthouse is a major provider of annuities and life insurance in
the United States.

Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2023, that the
United States District Court, Southern District of Florida signed

John Walker, Individually and On Behalf of all Other Similarly
Situated v. BurgerFi International, Inc. et al (in the United

023-cv-60657).

On April 6, 2023, John Walker, on behalf of himself and other

the Company violated certain securities laws by making false and
misleading statements or failed to disclose that (1) the Company

BURLINGTON STORES: Court Certifies Payton-Fernandez FLSA Collective
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Ann Marie Donio of the U.S. District Court for the
District of New Jersey, Camden Vicinage, grants in part and denies
in part the Plaintiffs' motion to conditionally certify as a
collective action the lawsuit entitled KIM PAYTON-FERNANDEZ, LAVERN
COLEMAN, and DARNIEL WILLIAMS, individually and on behalf of all
other persons similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. BURLINGTON STORES,
INC., et al., Defendants, Case No. 1:22-cv-00608-AMD (D.N.J.).

The matter comes before the Court by way of motion of Plaintiffs
Kim Payton-Fernandez, Lavern Coleman and Darniel Williams, for an
order conditionally certifying a collective under 29 U.S.C. Section
216(b), authorizing judicial notice of the lawsuit to all putative
collective action members, and facilitating notice by requiring the
Defendants to produce an electronic list of putative collective
action members and corresponding contact information. Defendants,
Burlington Stores, Inc., Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse
Corporation, Burlington Coat Factory Investment Holdings, Inc., and
Burlington Coat Factory Holdings, LLC, do not oppose the motion.

The Court has considered the Plaintiffs' submission and decides
this matter pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 78(b). For
the reasons that follow and for good cause shown, Judge Donio holds
that the Plaintiffs' motion is granted in part and denied without
prejudice in part.

The background of this case is set forth at length in this Court's
Opinion and Order dated April 28, 2023, and is incorporated by
reference (see Payton-Fernandez v. Burlington Stores, Inc., -- F.
Supp. 3d ---, No. 22-608, 2023 WL 3145140, at *1 (D.N.J. Apr. 28,
2023)).

The Plaintiffs generally allege that the Defendants violated the
Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 201, et seq. ("FLSA"),
and California wage and hour laws by misclassifying the Plaintiffs
and other similarly situated employees as exempt under federal
overtime laws and failing to pay them overtime wages.

The Plaintiffs, who are present and former "Assistant Store
Managers" ("ASMs") at the Defendants' retail stores within the
United States, contend, among other things, that they regularly
worked in excess of forty hours per workweek without receiving
overtime compensation because the Defendants allegedly had a
company-wide policy, pattern and/or practice of misclassifying ASMs
as exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA.

The parties previously participated in private mediation of this
matter and reached a settlement, and the Plaintiffs thereafter
moved to certify an FLSA collective for settlement purposes and
approval of the settlement of the FLSA and California state law
claims. The Court, however, denied the motion without prejudice.
The Court first concluded that the Plaintiffs failed to address the
applicable standard for certification of the action as a collective
action, and the Court was, thus, unable to conclude that members of
the collective are "similarly situated" in accordance with 29
U.S.C. Section 216.

In addition, because the Plaintiffs attempted to settle this action
before providing an opportunity for putative collective members to
opt into the case, the Court further concluded that the "Plaintiffs
have no authority to act as representatives of these potential
collective members and settle the case on their behalf at this
time." The Court noted that if the parties seek to settle this
lawsuit as a collective action, they must cure the defects in
substance and use a procedural mechanism consistent with an FLSA
collective action, not a class action. Since the Court's decision,
three individuals have opted into the Plaintiffs' suit by filing
consent forms.

The Plaintiffs now seek conditional certification pursuant to 29
U.S.C. Section 216(b). The Plaintiffs argue that from Feb. 4, 2019,
through Feb. 28, 2021, the Defendants classified all ASMs as exempt
under the FLSA without regard to the size, sales volume, geographic
location or hours of operation of the store where the ASM worked,
the length of the ASM's tenure, or the supervisor or manager to
whom the ASM reports, and that all ASMs received no overtime
compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek.
The Plaintiffs ask the Court to conditionally certify a collective
action consisting of:

     All Assistant Store Managers ("ASMs") who worked in any of
     Burlington's stores in the United States at any time between
     Feb. 4, 2019, and Feb. 28, 2021, except for ASMs who
     participated in the Goodman settlement, for whom the period
     shall be Aug. 20, 2020, to Feb. 28, 2021 (the "Collective").

The Plaintiffs also ask the Court to approve a notice and "Consent
to Join Form" and to facilitate notice to putative collective
members by requiring the Defendants to provide to a third-party
administrator an electronic list of all persons employed as ASMs
within the collective with corresponding contact information.

For the reasons set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order, the
Court will deny without prejudice the request for approval of the
notice and consent form in the form submitted with the Plaintiffs'
motion and will schedule a telephone conference to address the
issues.

First, Judge Donio notes the proposed notice seeks to include a
certain language. As discussed at length in the Opinion denying the
Plaintiffs' motion for settlement approval, the Plaintiffs' counsel
had "neither the authority to represent future opt-in plaintiffs
nor the authority to settle the FLSA claims on behalf of such
potential plaintiffs" at the time they engaged in settlement
negotiations. The Court finds no basis to include in the notice
language about the prior settlement when the Plaintiffs' counsel
was not authorized to engage in settlement negotiations on behalf
of putative class members in the first instance.

Second, Judge Donio finds the proposed form of notice omits
information regarding the rights of individuals, who choose to opt
into the lawsuit. The proposed notice advises putative opt-in
plaintiffs that the parties intend to present to the Court a
proposed settlement shortly after the opt-in period expires, but
the notice does not advise putative opt-ins of their right to
reject any settlement or litigate their claims on the merits. The
Court also will require the parties to modify the proposed "Consent
to Join Form" attached to the Plaintiffs' motion.

Finally, the Court addresses the Plaintiffs' request that the
Defendants provide the "names, addresses, telephone numbers, dates
of employment, locations of employment, social security numbers,
employee work number, if any, work and personal e-mail addresses,
and date of birth" of all employees who fall within the defined
collective.

Judge Donio points out that the Plaintiffs provide no rationale for
their request for such extensive information, some of which --
including dates of birth, social security numbers, and employee
work numbers -- implicates privacy concerns of putative collective
members. Judge Donio directs the Defendants to provide the
Plaintiffs with a list of all ASMs that fall within the defined
collective, the dates and locations of employment, the last known
addresses of collective members, and their last known phone number
and email address, if any. In the interest of privacy, however,
Judge Donio says the Defendants will not at this time produce
social security numbers, dates of birth, or employee work numbers
of the putative opt-in plaintiffs.

In conclusion, the Court finds that the Plaintiffs have produced
sufficient evidence to categorize the potential opt-in plaintiffs
as similarly situated to the Plaintiffs at this stage of the
litigation, and the request for conditional certification is,
therefore, granted. The Plaintiffs' requests authorizing judicial
notice of the lawsuit to all collective action members and
facilitating notice by requiring the Defendants to produce an
electronic list of collective action members and corresponding
contact information is denied without prejudice. The Defendants
will produce only the names, addresses, telephone numbers, dates of
employment, locations of employment, and work and personal e-mail
addresses of each putative opt-in member.

Finally, the parties will meet and confer concerning a revised
notice form and "Consent to Join Form" in accordance with this
Memorandum Opinion and Order and will address the issues set forth
herein at a status conference to be set by separate Order.

Judge Donio rules that the Plaintiffs' motion to conditionally
certify this action as a collective action and for issuance of
notice will be, and is, granted in part and denied without
prejudice in part. The action will be conditionally designated as a
collective action under the FLSA consisting of "All Assistant Store
Managers ("ASMs") who worked in any of Burlington's stores in the
United States at any time between February 4, 2019, and February
28, 2021, except for ASMs who participated in the Goodman
settlement, for whom the period shall be August 20, 2020 to
February 28, 2021."

The Defendants will within thirty (30) days of the date of this
Memorandum Opinion and Order, provide the Plaintiffs with a list of
all ASMs that fall within the defined collective, the dates and
locations of employment, the last known addresses of collective
members, and their last known phone number and email address.

The parties will meet and confer concerning a revised notice form
and "Consent to Join Form" in accordance with this Memorandum
Opinion and Order.

CAVA GROUP: Bid to Dismiss PFAS-Related Suit Remains Pending
------------------------------------------------------------
Cava Group Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly
period ending October 1, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 7, 2023, that the Company's motion
to dismiss the PFAS class suit remains pending to date.

In April 2022, the Company was named as a defendant in a purported
class action complaint relating to organic fluorine and per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") in the packaging of its grain
and salad bowls.

Hamman et al. v. Cava Group, Inc. was filed on April 27, 2022 in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

An amended complaint was subsequently filed on August 18, 2022.

After an initial round of motion to dismiss briefing, the court
granted in part and denied in part its motion to dismiss on
February 8, 2023.

Thereafter, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on March 1,
2023 seeking, among other relief, compensatory damages in an
unspecified amount and medical monitoring.

The complaint alleges that certain of its products are unfit for
human consumption due to the packaging containing allegedly
heightened levels of organic fluorine and unsafe PFAS, and that
consumers were misled by certain marketing claims asserted by the
Company regarding the health and sustainability of the company's
products.

The complaint further alleges that its products may have caused
bodily injuries to the putative class members who consumed its
products.

On April 14, 2023, it filed a motion to dismiss for failure to
state a claim.

On May 30, 2023, the plaintiffs filed their opposition to the
motion to dismiss, and it responded to the opposition on June 30,
2023.

As of the date hereof, this motion is pending.

CHARLES SCHWAB: Continues to Defend Crago Securities Class Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Charles Schwab Corp. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend the Crago Order Routing securities
class suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California.

On July 13, 2016, a securities class action lawsuit was filed in
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on
behalf of a putative class of customers executing equity orders
through CS&Co.

The lawsuit names CS&Co and CSC as defendants and alleges that an
agreement under which CS&Co routed orders to UBS Securities LLC
between July 13, 2011 and December 31, 2014 violated CS&Co's duty
to seek best execution.

Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, interest, injunctive and
equitable relief, and attorneys' fees and costs.

Defendants consider the allegations to be without merit and have
been vigorously contesting the lawsuit.

After a first amended complaint was dismissed with leave to amend,
plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on August 14, 2017.

Defendants again moved to dismiss, and in a decision issued
December 5, 2017, the court denied the motion.

Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on April 30,
2021, and in a decision on October 27, 2021, the court denied the
motion and held that certification of a class action is
inappropriate.

Plaintiffs sought review of the order denying class certification
by the U.S. Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, which was denied.

On September 23, 2022, plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for class
certification and defendants moved to compel plaintiffs' case to
arbitration.

On February 2, 2023, the court granted defendants' motion, stayed
the case pending the outcome of arbitration, and denied
plaintiffs’ renewed motion for class certification as moot.

company. CSC engages, through its subsidiaries (collectively
referred to as Schwab or the Company), in wealth management,

CLEANCHOICE ENERGY: Weinberg Hits Exorbitant Electricity Charges
----------------------------------------------------------------
ERIC WEINBERG, ROBERT SUDAKOW, and JOANNE SUDAKOW, on behalf of
themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v.
CLEANCHOICE ENERGY, INC., Defendant, Case No. 7:23-cv-09685-PMH
(S.D.N.Y., Nov. 2, 2023) seeks to redress CleanChoice's alleged
deceptive and bad faith pricing practices that have caused
Plaintiffs and over a hundred thousand consumers in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio, Maryland, Washington, D.C.,
and Illinois to pay considerably more for their electricity than
they should otherwise have paid.

According to the complaint, CleanChoice's representations in its
customer contract are false and deceptive, and designed to take
advantage of consumers' good faith and lack of knowledge about, and
access to, accurate wholesale and retail energy pricing
information. In reality, CleanChoice did not provide its customers
with prices based upon the factors included in its contract, but
rather used a pricing methodology that focused on maximizing
profits.

As a result of CleanChoice's unlawful acts, over a hundred thousand
unsuspecting consumers have been, and continue to be, fleeced by
CleanChoice out of millions of dollars in exorbitant electricity
charges. The Defendant's scheme, which often affects society's most
vulnerable citizens, is immoral, unethical, oppressive, and
unscrupulous, the suit alleges.

CleanChoice Energy, Inc. is an independent energy service company
that sells electricity in deregulated energy markets across the
United States.[BN]

COLGATE-PALMOLIVE: Faces ERISA Suit Over Retirement Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Colgate-Palmolive Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October, 2023, that in March
2023, the Second Circuit affirmed the grant of summary judgment to
the plaintiffs with regards to a motion filed in June 2023, where
the plaintiffs entered a revised final judgment in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York to
address certain unresolved calculation issues of its retirement
plan, which the company opposed.

In June 2016, a lawsuit was filed in said court against the
employees' retirement plan, the company and certain individuals
claiming that residual annuity payments associated with a 2005
residual annuity amendment to the retirement plan were improperly
calculated for certain participants in violation of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The relief sought included
recalculation of benefits, pre- and post-judgment interest and
attorneys' fees. This action was certified as a class action in
July 2017.

In July 2020, the court dismissed certain claims, and in August
2020 granted the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on the
remaining claims. In September 2020, the Company appealed to the
Second Circuit. In June 2023, the company filed a petition for
certiorari to the United States Supreme Court requesting permission
for an appeal to that court and that petition was denied in October
2023.

---------------------------------------------------------
CONSOL Energy Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2023, that it is
currently facing a class action lawsuit filed on August 23, 2017 on
behalf of two nonunion retired coal miners against Consolidation
Coal Company (CCC), CONSOL of Kentucky Inc. (COK), CONSOL Buchanan
Mining Co., LLC and Kurt Salvatori, the company's Chief
Administrative Officer, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of West Virginia alleging ERISA violations in the
termination of retiree health care benefits.

Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral promises
of "lifetime health benefits" allegedly made by various members of
management during their employment and that they were not provided
with copies of Summary Plan Documents clearly reserving to the
company the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and
Welfare Plan.

They requested that retiree health benefits be reinstated for them
and their dependents and seek to represent a class of all nonunion
retirees of any subsidiary of the company's former parent that
operated or employed individuals in McDowell or Mercer Counties,
West Virginia, or Buchanan or Tazewell Counties, Virginia whose
retiree welfare benefits were terminated.

On December 1, 2017, the trial court judge in Fitzwater signed an
order to consolidate Fitzwater with Casey. The complaint was
amended on March 1, 2018 to add new plaintiffs, add defendant
CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC and eliminate defendant CONSOL
Buchanan Mining Co., LLC in an attempt to expand the class of
retirees. On October 15, 2019, plaintiffs' supplemental motion for
class certification was denied on all counts. On July 15, 2020,
plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The
Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On
October 1, 2020, the District Court entered a pretrial order
setting the trial date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling
has been issued by the judge.

Consol is a low-cost producer of high-quality bituminous coal,
focused on the extraction and preparation of coal in the

CYBELANGEL USA: Seeks Denial of Koeller Class Status Bid
--------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as EDWARD J. KOELLER,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v.
CYBELANGEL USA INC. Case No. 4:23-cv-00319-SEP (E.D. Mo.), the
Defendant asks the Court to enter an order denying class
certification, pursuant to Rule 23(d)(1)(D) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure.

The Plaintiff's allegation that CybelAngel routinely violates the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Missouri state law by calling
consumers at residential numbers listed on the federal and state
do-not-call lists ("DNC Claims") to sell its products and services
isn't true.

In reality, CybelAngel sells products and services exclusively to
businesses to help defend against cyber-attacks. As such, it does
not market its products and services to consumers, and it does not
call residential numbers. It also obtains the contact information
for the businesses it communicates with in a variety of ways,
including directly from employees who ask to be contacted because
they are responsible for cybersecurity solutions for their
companies.

CybelAngel is a leader in cybersecurity solutions focused on
External Attack Surface Protection and Management.

DISH DBS: Continues to Defend Jaramillo Securities Class Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
DISH DBS Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Jaramillo securities
class suit in the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado.

On March 23, 2023, a securities fraud class action complaint was
filed against DISH Network and Messrs. Ergen, Carlson and Orban in
the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.

The complaint is brought on behalf of a putative class of
purchasers of DISH Network's securities during the February 22,
2021 to February 27, 2023 class period.

In general, the complaint alleges that DISH Network's public
statements during that period were false and misleading and
contained material omissions, because they did not disclose that it
allegedly maintained a deficient cyber-security and information
technology infrastructure, were unable to properly secure customer
data and its operations were susceptible to widespread service
outages.

In August 2023, the Court appointed a new lead plaintiff and lead
plaintiff's counsel, and on October 20, 2023, they filed an amended
complaint that abandoned the original allegations.

In their amended complaint, plaintiffs allege that, during the
class period, the defendants concealed problems concerning the 5G
network buildout that prevented scaling and commercializing the
network to obtain enterprise customers.

The amended complaint adds as individual defendants James S. Allen,
its Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer; John
Swieringa, its President, Technology and Chief Operating Officer;
Dave Mayo, its former Executive Vice President of Network
Development; Marc Rouanne, its Executive Vice President and Chief
Network Officer; and Stephen Bye, its former Executive Vice

-----------------------------------------------------
DISH DBS Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Jones 401(k) class suit
in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.

On December 20, 2021, four former employees filed a class action
complaint in the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado against DISH Network, DISH Network's Board of Directors,
and DISH Network's Retirement Plan Committee alleging fiduciary
breaches arising from the management of its 401(k) Plan.

The putative class, comprised of all participants in the Plan on or
after January 20, 2016, alleges that the Plan had excessive
recordkeeping and administrative expenses and that it maintained
underperforming funds.

On February 1, 2023, a Magistrate Judge issued a recommendation
that the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint be granted,
and on March 27, 2023, the district court judge granted the motion.


As permitted by the Court's order, the plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint on April 10, 2023, which is limited to allegations
regarding the alleged underperformance of the Fidelity Freedom
Funds.

On November 7, 2023, a Magistrate Judge issued a recommendation
that the defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint be
denied as to the duty to prudently monitor fund performance, but be
granted as to the duty of loyalty.

DISH Network intends to vigorously defend this case.

----------------------------------------------------------------
DISH DBS Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Owen-Brooks data breach
class suit in the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado.

On May 9, 2023, Susan Owen-Brooks, an alleged customer, filed a
putative class action complaint against DISH Network in the United
States District Court for the District of Colorado.

She purports to represent a nationwide class of all individuals in
the United States who allegedly had private information stolen as a
result of the February 23, 2023 Cyber-security Incident (and a
North Carolina statewide subclass of the same individuals).

On behalf of the nationwide class, she alleges claims for
contractual breaches, negligence and unjust enrichment (and, on
behalf of the North Carolina subclass only, violation of the North
Carolina Deceptive Trade Practices Act), and seeks monetary
damages, injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment.

Since that filing, ten additional putative class action complaints
have been filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Colorado, purporting to represent the same nationwide
class of people, and Owen-Brooks has filed an amended complaint.

On August 2, 2023, the Court issued an order consolidating the

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act),
on behalf of a proposed class consisting of those who acquired
Dutch Bros Inc.'s securities between November 10, 2021 and May 11,
2022.

The Amended Complaint generally alleges that the defendants made
false or misleading statements about the impact of commodity
inflation on the Company's financial results for the first quarter
of 2022.

The Amended Complaint primarily seeks compensatory damages for all
affected members of the purported class.

On September 28, 2023, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
Amended Complaint, and the lead plaintiff filed a response on
October 26, 2023.

The Company has until November 9, 2023 to file a reply.

The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Dutch Bros is in the business of operating and franchising
drive-thru coffee shops as well as the wholesale and distribution
of coffee, coffee-related products, and accessories. As of June
30,
2023, there were 754 shops in operation in 14 U.S. states, of
which
473 were company-operated and 281 were franchised.


DYCK O'NEAL: Saunders TCPA Suit Seeks Rule 23 Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as KAREN SAUNDERS, v. DYCK
O'NEAL, INC., Case No. 1:17-cv-00335-JTN-RSK (W.D. Mich.), the
Plaintiff moves the Court to certify the following Rule 23(b)(3)
class in this action:

   "All persons to whom one or more VoApps messages was
successfully
   delivered to their cellular telephone number from Dyck O'Neal,
   where Dyck O'Neal's records contain no reference to the consumer

   providing such number to the creditor or Dyck O'Neal before such

   direct drop."

The Plaintiff further asks that the Court appoint Plaintiff as
class representative and appoint her counsel as class counsel.

The Plaintiff also requests that the Court apply its earlier
summary judgment ruling finding that VoApps messages are covered by
the TCPA to Defendant Dyck O'Neal, Inc.'s outbound VoApps calls to
Plaintiff and the class, find that DONI did not have consent for
calls
made before the consumer provided their cellular number to the
creditor or DONI (or in the absence of any such provision), and
enter judgment as to Plaintiff and the class for successfully
delivered VoApps messages made without consent. Plaintiff further
requests that the Court direct DONI to produce the remainder of the
class call and consent-related records, so that Plaintiff may
proceed with the administrative task of identifying and providing
notice to class members.  
The Plaintiff believes that DONI has waived any one-way
intervention protection by virtue of previously moving for summary
judgment and not opposing the briefing of this motion.

Dyck O'Neal operates as a debt collection law firm.

EDGIO INC: Settlement in Suit Over Merger Initially OK'd
--------------------------------------------------------
Edgio, Inc. disclosed in its Form 8-K report as of October 23,
2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
27, 2023, that on October 23, 2023, the Delaware court of Chancery
issued an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement of
a consolidated case captioned "In re Edgio, Inc. Stockholders
Litigation," Case No. 2022-0624-MTZ. Pursuant to the Delaware court
of Chancery's order granting preliminary approval, the company is
filing the notice of proposed settlement and the stipulation.

On July 18, 2022, two stockholders filed verified class actions in
the Delaware court of Chancery, which were subsequently
consolidated. The operative complaint alleges that the Edgio board
of directors violated its fiduciary duties in entering into a
stockholders' agreement as part of the company's acquisition of
100% of the equity interests of Edgecast, Inc., a California
corporation and certain Edgecast-related businesses and assets from
College Parent LP.

The plaintiffs challenge certain provisions of the stockholders'
agreement, alleging that those provisions constituted defensive
measures designed to entrench the board of directors and protect it
from stockholder activism. The complaint seeks injunctive relief in
the form of an injunction enjoining the enforcement of the
challenged provisions. Edgio filed a motion to dismiss and the
matter was heard on October 12, 2022 in the Delaware court of
Chancery.

On May 2, 2023, the Delaware court of Chancery issued a memorandum
opinion denying the company's motion to dismiss. On May 12, 2023,
the parties entered into an interim arrangement to avoid the costs
and burdens of expedited litigation where the company agreed not to
enforce the provisions of the stockholders' agreement that the
plaintiffs challenged in the suit in connection with the company's
2023 annual meeting.

On September 29, 2023, the parties executed and filed with the
Delaware court of Chancery a Stipulation and Agreement of
Settlement, Compromise, and Release. In the Stipulation, the
company agreed, among other things, to amend the stockholders
agreement to conform to the following terms: (1) with respect to
all matters other than director elections, College Parent LP shall
vote 25% of its Edgio shares pro rata with all other Edgio
stockholders and may vote 75% of its Edgio shares, at its
discretion, either in favor of the board's recommendation or pro
rata with all other Edgio stockholders; (2) with respect to
director elections, College Parent LP may vote its Edgio shares at
its discretion and (3) certain transfer restrictions applicable to
College Parent LP are limited to Competitors, as defined in the
amended Stockholders Agreement.

The full terms of the proposed settlement are set forth in said
stipulation and is subject to final consideration at a hearing to
be held in person before the Delaware court of Chancery on January
3, 2024 at 11:00 am.

On October 23, 2023, the Delaware court of Chancery issued an order
preliminarily approving the proposed settlement. Pursuant to the
Delaware court of Chancery's order granting preliminary approval,
the company is filing the notice of proposed settlement and the
stipulation.

------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as DYLAN EDWARDS, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, v. EL CAMINO FORT
LAUDERDALE, LLC, Case No. 0:23-cv-60720-AHS (S.D. Fla.), the
Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order pursuant to Section

ENVIROTECH VEHICLES: Mollik Shareholder Suit Dismissed
------------------------------------------------------
Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-K report for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in September 2023, that on September 30, 2023,
the court dismissed with prejudice a purported class action lawsuit
captioned "M.D. Ariful Mollik v. ADOMANI, Inc. et al.," Case No.
RIC 1817493, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of Riverside on August 23, 2018 against
the company's predecessor, ADOMANI, Inc, certain of its company's
executive officers, Edward R. Monfort, the former Chief Technology
Officer and a former director of ADOMANI, Inc., and the two
underwriters of the company's offering of common stock under
Regulation A in June 2017. The matter is completely resolved.

Said complaint alleged that documents related to the company's
offering of common stock under Regulation A in June 2017 contained
materially false and misleading statements and that all defendants
violated Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and that the
individual defendants violated Section 15 of the Securities Act, in
connection therewith. The plaintiff sought on behalf of himself and
all class members: (i) certification of a class under California
substantive law and procedure; (ii) compensatory damages and
interest in an amount to be proven at trial; (iii) reasonable costs
and expenses incurred in this action, including counsel fees and
expert fees; (iv) awarding of rescission or rescissionary damages;
and (v) equitable relief at the discretion of the court.

Plaintiff's counsel subsequently filed a first amended complaint, a
second amended complaint, a third amended complaint, and a fourth
amended complaint. Plaintiff Mollik was replaced by putative class
representatives Alan K. Brooks and Electric Drivetrains, LLC. Alan
K. Brooks was subsequently dropped as a putative class
representative. On October 27, 2020, the company answered the
fourth amended complaint, generally denying the allegations and
asserting affirmative defenses.

On July 13, 2021, Electric Drivetrains' counsel moved to be
relieved as counsel and on August 23, 2021, the court granted this
motion. On August 23, 2021, the Clerk of Court issued an order to
show cause why the complaint should not be stricken and matter
dismissed for failure to retain new counsel to Electric
Drivetrains. On October 28, 2021, Electric Drivetrains filed a
substitution of attorney, substituting J. Ryan Gustafson of Good
Gustafson Aumais LLP as its new counsel. On December 10, 2021, the
Court vacated the order to show cause. Over the tenure of the
action, Electric Drivetrain has dismissed all defendants in the
action except for the company and two former company executives.
Any and all pending cross claims between or among defendants have
been resolved and dismissed.

On August 31, 2022, Electric Drivetrains filed its Fifth Amended
Complaint, which drops certain class allegations, adds certain
state law claims and drops certain factual allegations but leaves
the remaining claims against defendants intact. On October 6, 2022,
the company and remaining defendants filed their respective answer
denying the allegations and asserting counterclaims. On the same
day, the company cross claimed against Electric Drivetrains and its
managing member.

On June 19, 2023, counsel for Electric Drivetrains and counsel for
the company participated in a mediation before mediator Mark
LeHockey, Esq. At that mediation, Electric Drivetrains and the
company executed a binding term sheet to completely resolve this
matter. On July 18, 2023, Electric Drivetrains and all defendants
executed a Settlement Agreement for complete resolution of the case
and dismissal against all Defendants with prejudice. No Company
proceeds will be used to resolve this matter. Based on the
settlement agreement, Electric Drivetrains will dismiss this case,
with prejudice, on or about August 23, 2023.

Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Hadian class suit in

FORD MOTOR: Bid to Compel Arbitration Tossed in Scriber Class Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MICHAEL SCRIBER, et al.,
individually and on behalf all others similarly situated, v. FORD
MOTOR COMPANY, Case No. 3:22-cv-01716-MMA-MMP (S.D. Cal.), the Hon.
Judge Michael M. Anello entered an order denying Ford motor's
motion to compel arbitration.

The Court finds that Ford has not met its burden of showing that
there is a mandatory arbitration agreement that encompasses the
dispute here under Michigan law.

Accordingly, the Court denies its motion to compel arbitration
based upon the Connected Services Agreements.

The Plaintiffs bring this putative class action against Ford Motor
Company. On June 29, 2023, Ford filed a motion to compel
arbitration.

The Plaintiffs filed an opposition, to which Ford replied. See Doc.
Nos. 25, 26. The Court found the matter suitable for determination
on the papers and without oral argument pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 78(b) and Civil Local Rule 7.1.d.1.

Ford Motor is an American multinational automobile manufacturer.

and the general public, v. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, a Delaware

2:21-cv-00945-DMG-RAO (C.D. Cal.), Ford Motor asks the Court to
enter an order granting its motion to strike class allegations or,
alternatively, deny class Certification, based on the following
grounds:

   (1) The Plaintiff's class allegations should be stricken because

       Plaintiff failed to timely move for class certification.

   (2) In the alternative, the Court should deny class
certification
       because Plaintiff’s failure to timely file his motion for
class
       certification renders him an inadequate representative for
the
       class, and because Plaintiff's failure to timely submit
expert
       evidence means he cannot establish the commonality and

FUTURE MOTION: Ogan Sues Over Defective Skateboard-Like Devices
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby Ogan, individually and on behalf of all those similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. FUTURE MOTION, INC., Defendant, Case No.
7:23-cv-01479-BO (E.D.N.C., Nov. 2, 2023) is a class action against
the Defendant for negligence, breach of express warranty, breach of
implied warranty of merchantability, fraudulent misrepresentation,
negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of
the North Carolina Consumer Protection Statute.

The Defendant is a company that manufactures skateboard-like
devices, which operate like a unicycle, and these devices are
referred to as OneWheels.

According to the complaint, the Defendant's marketing and promotion
of these devices promotes the ease of use. The Defendant's
homepage, in big white letters, states: "STOP THINKING START
RIDING." Further, Defendant's website states the top speeds of its
devices, with a top speed of 16-20 miles per hour. A user does not
need to push off the ground or pedal, as the device is
self-propelled and self-balancing. However, the Defendant's devices
have several methods of failure, of particular note is the nosedive
style of failure, in which the device suddenly nose dives,
launching the user forward. The devices will sporadically lose
balance in many different settings, and thus, are extremely
dangerous, says the suit.

The Plaintiff, a purchaser of Defendant's devices, suffered
personal injuries and economic loss because of Defendant's devices.
The Plaintiff has suffered severe cuts and scrapes from his
incident and has spent significant time and resources in dealing
with his injuries, the suit alleges.

Future Motion, Inc. provides electric vehicles. The Company offers
electric skateboard such as onewheel, and other related

GILEAD SCIENCES: Seeks to Exclude Fincham Rebuttal Report in Searcy
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JONATHAN SEARCY, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, and ERVIN KIRK, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. GILEAD
SCIENCES, INC., Case No. 4:20-cv-01523-MTS (E.D. Mo.), the

Plaintiffs' expert witness Jack Fincham in opposition to class
certification, file a sur-reply in opposition to class

GILEAD SCIENCES: Staley Bid for Entry of Set-Aside Order Tossed
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Staley, et al., v. Gilead
Sciences, Inc., et al., (HIV ANTITRUST LITIGATION), Case No.
3:19-cv-02573-EMC (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Edward M. Chen
entered an order denying the Plaintiffs' motion for entry of
set-aside order:

-- The Court finds that the Retailer Plaintiffs have adequately
    established that the EPPs' delay was prejudicial. Had the
Retailer
    Plaintiffs known that the EPPs would seek a set aside from them

    (8% of any recovery), that clearly would have informed the
    Retailer Plaintiffs' position in settlement discussions with
    Defendants. In other words, had the Retailer Plaintiffs known
    differently, they might have negotiated for a different
result.

-- Accordingly, the Court concludes that laches bars the EPPs
from
    seeking relief.

This antitrust suit began in 2019, with a complaint filed by
indirect purchasers of HIV drugs manufactured by, inter alia,
Gilead. As the case progressed, other indirect purchasers filed
suit as did direct purchasers.

By the time of the trial of the reverse payment claims in 2023,1
there were five groups of plaintiffs: the EPPs (representing the
indirect purchaser classes), the IHPPs (essentially, indirect
purchaser opt-outs), United (also an indirect purchaser opt-out),
the DPPs (representing the direct purchaser classes), and the
Retailer Plaintiffs (essentially, direct purchaser opt-outs). Some
of these plaintiffs asserted claims against Gilead alone (e.g., the
EPPs), and some asserted claims against both Gilead and Teva (e.g.,
the Retailer Plaintiffs).

A brief timeline of the relevant events.

  -- The first suit was filed:                    May 14, 2019

  -- The Court appointed interim lead             Sept. 9, 2019
     counsel for the EPPs:

  -- The Court granted in part and denied         March 3, 2020
     in part Defendants' 12(b)(6) motions
     to dismiss the EPPs' operative
     complaint:

  -- The Court granted in part and denied         July 29, 2020
     in part Defendants' second 12(b)(6)
     motion to dismiss the EPPs'
     operative complaint.

Gilead Sciences is an American biopharmaceutical company, that
focuses on researching and developing antiviral drugs used in the
treatment of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, influenza, and
COVID-19, including ledipasvir/sofosbuvir and sofosbuvir.

period ending October 1, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the Company continues
to defend itself from Tomlinson class suit in the United States

A putative securities class action was filed on November 6, 2023,
against the Company, Tom Tomlinson (the Company's former Director,
President, and Chief Executive Officer), and Dominic Bardos (the

The complaint, which is captioned City of Fort Lauderdale General
Employees' Retirement System v. Holley, Inc., f/k/a Empower LTD.,
Tom Tomlinson, and Dominic Bardos, Civil Action No.
1:23-cv-148-GNS, alleges that the Company violated various
securities laws and seeks class certification, damages, interest,
attorneys’ fees, and other relief.  

Due to the early stage of this proceeding, it cannot reasonably
estimate the potential range of loss, if any.

The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously
defend against them.

manufactures, and distributes carburetors, fuel pumps, fuel
injection and nitrous oxide injection systems, superchargers,

proceeding
     (including a telephonic court conference) or to extend a
deadline
     must be made in writing and in compliance with section 2(a) of

INTEL CORP: Dismissal of Consolidated Suit Under Appeal
-------------------------------------------------------
Intel Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 30, 2023, that in March 2023, the
court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss a consolidated
complaint and in April 2023 entered judgment with regards to
multiple securities class action lawsuits filed in the US District
Court for the Northern District of California against the company
and certain officers following the company's July 2020 announcement
of 7nm processors product delays. Plaintiffs have appealed said
decision.

The court consolidated the lawsuits and appointed lead plaintiffs
in October 2020, and in January 2021 plaintiffs filed a
consolidated complaint. Plaintiffs purport to represent all persons
who purchased or otherwise acquired the company's common stock from
October 25, 2019 through October 23, 2020, and they generally
allege that defendants violated the federal securities laws by
making false or misleading statements about the timeline for 7nm
products.

Given the procedural posture and the nature of the case, including
that it is in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been
specified, that uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of a class
being certified or the ultimate size of any class if certified, and
that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved,
the company are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the
potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from
the matter.

Intel Corporation is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara,
California. In July 2021, the company introduced a new process node
naming structure, and the 7nm process is now called Intel 4.


INTEL CORP: Faces Consumer Class Actions in Various Countries
-------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 30, 2023, that as of October 25,
2023, consumer class action lawsuits against the company were
pending in the US, Canada, and Argentina.

The plaintiffs, who purport to represent various classes of
purchasers of the company's products, generally claim to have been
harmed by the company's actions and/or omissions in connection with
the security vulnerabilities and assert a variety of common law and
statutory claims seeking monetary damages and equitable relief.

In the US, class action suits filed in various jurisdictions were
consolidated for all pretrial proceedings in the US District court
for the District of Oregon, which entered final judgment in favor
of Intel in July 2022 based on plaintiffs' failure to plead a
viable claim. Plaintiffs have appealed that decision to the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals.

In Canada, an initial status conference has not yet been scheduled
in one case pending in the Superior court of Justice of Ontario,
and a stay of a second case pending in the Superior court of
Justice of Quebec is in effect.

In Argentina, Intel Argentina was served with, and responded to, a
class action complaint in June 2022. The Argentinian court
dismissed plaintiffs' claims for lack of standing in May 2023, and
plaintiffs have appealed. Additional lawsuits and claims may be
asserted seeking monetary damages or other related relief.

Intel Corporation is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara,
California.


INTERNATIONAL RECOVERY: Faces Bromberg Suit Over Collection Letters
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A class action lawsuit has been filed against International
Recovery Associates, Inc. The case is captioned as Bromberg v.
International Recovery Associates, Inc., Case No.
2:23-cv-07386-PKC-AYS (E.D.N.Y., Oct. 3, 2023).

The case is assigned to the Hon. Judge Pamela K. Chen.

The Plaintiff alleges Defendant's violation of the Fair Debt
Collection Act involving consumer credit. The Plaintiff alleges
that Defendant provided her with "two separate initial collection

quarters of 2016 would need to be restated, and sought damages on
behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or
acquired Kandi's securities prior to March 13, 2017. Kandi moved to
dismiss the remaining cases, all of which were pending in the New

action was filed against Kandi and certain of its current and
former directors and officers in California federal court.

This action was transferred to the New York federal court in
September 2020, Kandi moved to dismiss in March 2021, and that
motion was granted in October 2021.

The plaintiff in this case subsequently filed an amended complaint,
Kandi moved to dismiss that complaint in January 2022, and the

MARQETA INC: Continues to Defend Smith Class Suit in Delaware
-------------------------------------------------------------
Marqeta Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly
period ending in September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the Company continues
to defend itself from the Smith class suit in the Court of Chancery
for the State of Delaware.

On August 24, 2023, a putative class action and shareholder
derivative lawsuit was filed in the case captioned Stephanie Smith
v. Jason Gardner, et al. (Case No. 2023-0872-MTZ) in the Court of
Chancery for the State of Delaware against each of the members of
our board of directors and naming Marqeta as a nominal defendant.

The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached
fiduciary duties in approving the 2023 Share Repurchase Program by
failing to implement measures to prevent Marqeta founder Jason
Gardner from acquiring control of the Company or ensure that
unaffiliated stockholders receive a control premium.

The plaintiff seeks damages and injunctive relief in the case,
among other relief.

The plaintiff also filed a motion to expedite proceedings to obtain
expedited discovery to support a contemplated preliminary
injunction motion to enjoin purchases under the 2023 Share
Repurchase Program.

The Company and the individual defendants opposed the motion and
the motion was heard and denied on September 15, 2023.

The Company and the individual defendants have filed motions to
dismiss the plaintiff's complaint, but the parties have not yet
agreed on a briefing schedule for those motions and no hearing on
the motions has been set.

The Company is prepared to vigorously defend this litigation.

Marqeta, Inc. is a provider of modern card issuing and payment
processing platform, with its principal place of business located
in Oakland, California. [BN]


MASIMO CORP: Continues to Defend Vasquez Class Suit
---------------------------------------------------
Masimo Corp. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly
period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 7, 2023, that the Company continues
to defend itself from the Vasquez class suit.

On August 22, 2023, a putative class action complaint was filed by
Sergio Vazquez against the Company and members of its management
alleging violations of the federal securities laws.

The complaint alleges that the Company and members of its
management disseminated materially false and misleading statements
and/or concealed material adverse facts relating to its second
quarter 2023 revenue and sales and expected full-year 2023 revenue.


The Company believes it has good and substantial defenses to the
claims in the complaint, but there is no guarantee that the Company
will be successful in these efforts.

The Company is unable to determine whether any loss ultimately will
occur or to estimate the range of such loss; therefore, no amount
of loss has been accrued by the Company in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.



MASONITE CORP: Approval Hearing on Settlement Not Yet Set
---------------------------------------------------------
Masonite Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
Federal Court of Canada has not set date for the antitrust class
suit settlement approval hearing.

On May 19, 2020, an intended class proceeding was commenced in the
Province of Québec, Canada naming as defendants Masonite
Corporation, Corporation Internationale Masonite, JELD-WEN, Inc.,
JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and JELD-WEN of Canada, Ltd. The plaintiff
alleges that the Masonite and JELD-WEN defendants engaged in
anticompetitive conduct, including price-fixing involving interior
molded doors.

The intended class proceeding seeks damages, punitive damages, and
other relief.

On December 22, 2020, the parties filed a motion with the court
seeking to stay the proceeding.

On October 2, 2020, an intended class proceeding was commenced in
the Federal Court of Canada naming as defendants Masonite
International Corporation, Masonite Corporation, JELD-WEN, Inc.,
JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and JELD-WEN of Canada, Ltd.

The plaintiff alleges that the Masonite and JELD-WEN defendants
engaged in anticompetitive conduct, including price-fixing
involving interior molded doors.

The intended class proceeding seeks damages, punitive damages, and
other relief.

The plaintiff served its certification record on March 31, 2021.

On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a preliminary
settlement agreement with the plaintiff class that would result in
the resolution of all the plaintiffs' underlying claims and
lawsuits in exchange for a payment by the Company of approximately
$0.9 million.

As a result, for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023,
the Company accrued approximately $0.9 million in selling, general
and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement
of income and comprehensive income in connection with this matter.


The preliminary settlement agreement is subject to court approval.


A settlement approval hearing date has not yet been set.

MAXIM HEALTHCARE: Gibson Seeks Licensed Practical Nurses' OT Pay
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL GIBSON, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly-situated, Plaintiff v. MAXIM HEALTHCARE STAFFING
SERVICES, INC., TOWNE STAFFING LLC, MEADOWS AT GETTYSBURG FOR
NURSING AND REHABILITATION LLC d/b/a THE GARDENS AT GETTYSBURG,
Case No. Defendants, Case No. 1:23-cv-01855-CCC (M.D. Pa., November
8, 2023) alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the
Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act.

Plaintiff Crystal Gibson first began her employment with Defendants
on or around December 18, 2022, when she was hired through
Defendant Maxim for employment as an Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
with Defendant Meadows. She was and is typically scheduled to work
between 56 and 72 hours per week.

Accordingly, Plaintiff Gibson contends that the Defendants have
unlawfully failed to pay her and other individuals employed in the
position of LPN or in positions with substantially similar job
duties, overtime compensation pursuant to the requirements of FLSA
and PMWA. She also asserts that the Defendants maintained an
unlawful policy and practice of deducting 30 minutes of time for an
"unpaid meal break" each single shift, or one hour of time for a
double shift, despite the fact that Plaintiff and Class Plaintiffs
rarely, if ever, actually received a full, uninterrupted break,
resulting in the non-payment of overtime compensation in violation
of the FLSA and PMWA.

MCMENAMINS INC: Kirby Judicial Notice Bid Denied
------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ZANE J. KIRBY, et al., v.
MCMENAMINS INC., et al., Case No. 3:22-cv-05168-BHS-MLP (W.D.
Wash.), the Hon. Judge Michelle L. Peterson entered an order
recommending that Plaintiffs' motion be denied.

-- The Court denies the Plaintiffs' request for judicial notice,
and
    grants the Plaintiffs' request to strike.

-- Objections to this Report and Recommendation, if any, should be

    filed with the Clerk and served upon all parties to this suit
    within 14 days of the date on which this Report and
Recommendation
    is signed. Failure to file objections within the specified time

    may affect your right to appeal.

-- The Plaintiffs have not met their burden to show that common
issues
   of law or fact predominate to make class certification
appropriate.

The Plaintiffs, former employees of McMenamins, allege McMenamins
engages in a "systematic scheme of wage and hour violations" by
failing to provide employees statutory ten-minute rest periods and
30-minute meal periods or to compensate employees for missed
breaks.

The Plaintiffs assert claims pursuant to RCW 49.12 for failure to
compensate for missed meal and rest periods, and pursuant to RCW
49.52.050, .070, for willful and intentional withholding of such
compensation.

In the instant motion, Plaintiffs seek certification of a class
defined as:

   "All individuals who resided in Washington State and who worked
for
   McMenamins, Inc. in Washington State, who were employed in the
   position of bartender or server (or any similar "front-of-the-
   house" position) at any time from February 9, 2019, to the date
of
   the Order granting class certification."

The Plaintiffs seek to be designated class representatives, and
that Brian Denlinger, Craig Ackermann, and Tatiana Hernandez be
appointed class counsel.

McMenamins is a family-owned chain of brewpubs, breweries, music
venues, historic hotels, and theater pubs.

MCPZ FOODS: Solis Sues Over Unpaid Minimum, Overtime Wages
----------------------------------------------------------
Fausto Solis and Leonardo Flores, on behalf of themselves and other
similarly situated employees v. MCPZ FOODS CORP (DBA VERDES ITALIAN
EATERY), SEBASTIAN BONGIOVANI and DANIELLE LIGUORI, individually,
Case No. 1:23-cv-08204 (E.D.N.Y., Nov. 3, 2023), is brought against
the Defendant for unpaid minimum wage and overtime wage
compensation pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), the
New York Labor Law ("NYLL") as recently amended by the Wage Theft
Prevention Act ("WTPA"), and related provisions from Title 12 of
New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations ("NYCRR").

The Defendants were required, under relevant New York State law, to
pay and compensate Plaintiffs at a minimum rate of $15.00 per hour
(the "minimum wage"); however, one of the Plaintiffs was only
compensated at a rate of $14.49 and $14.65 per hour for 40 hours
workweek. The Defendants were required, under relevant New York
State law, to compensate Plaintiffs with overtime pay at one and
one-half the regular rate for work in excess of 40 hours per work
week. However, despite such mandatory pay obligations, Defendants
only compensated one of the Plaintiffs at a rate of $14.49 and
$14.65 per hour and failed to pay Plaintiffs their lawful overtime
pay for that period from August 2022 until September 12, 2023, and
February 2022 until September 2023, when they worked well in excess
of 40 hours per workweek, says the complaint.

The Plaintiffs were employed to work as cooks.

The Defendants owned and operated MCPZ Foods Corp (d/b/a Verdes
Italian Eatery), a corporate entity principally engaged in Staten
Island, New York.[BN]

MENARD INC: Court Narrows Claims in Shoemaker SAC
-------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as GLENN SHOEMAKER, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, v. MENARD, INC.,
DISSTON COMPANY, and GINO DEVELOPMENT, INC., Case No.
2:22-cv-04089-MDH (W.D. Mo.), the Hon. Judge Douglas Harpool
entered an order granting in part and denying in part the
Defendants' motion to dismiss the Plaintiff's Second Amended
Complaint for failure to state a claim.

The Plaintiff's allegations in Counts Two and Three are dismissed
with prejudice to the extent those allegations are brought under
any perceived federal common law. Otherwise, the Defendants' motion
is denied.

The Plaintiff filed his first complaint June 10, 2022, eight days
before giving notice to Defendant Menard’s. Nonetheless, this
Court agrees with Plaintiff that notice is not strictly required
where a plaintiff sufficiently alleges that a defendant had actual
knowledge of the alleged defect.

The Second Amended Complaint specifically alleges that "Defendants
knew of, or should have known of, their defects."

The Plaintiff also supports this allegation with additional
specific factual allegations. Accordingly, Plaintiff has alleged
sufficient facts as to Count Three's breach of implied warranty
allegations.

The instant matter involves a dispute about bonded abrasive wheels
that attach to power tools used to cut and grind materials like
metal and concrete. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that, in
violation of industry standards, Defendants manufactured and/or
sold abrasive wheels whose packaging lacked clear and identifiable
expiration dates and/or warnings.

Menard owns and operates home improvement stores.

MERIT ENERGY: Court Refuses to Remand Cooper-Clark Class Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Julie A. Robinson of the U.S. District Court for the District
of Kansas denies the Plaintiff's motion to remand in the lawsuit
titled THE COOPER-CLARK FOUNDATION, on behalf of itself and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. MERIT ENERGY COMPANY, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 6:23-cv-01097-JAR-GEB (D. Kan.).

Plaintiff The Cooper-Clark Foundation filed a putative class action
in state court alleging that Defendant Merit Energy Company, LLC,
underpaid royalties for natural gas wells it operated in Kansas.
The Plaintiff pleaded in the First Amended Class Action Petition
("FACAP") that the underpayment to the entire class of royalty
owners is less than $5 million, excluding prejudgment interest.

On May 22, 2023, the Defendant removed the action under the Class
Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"), pleading that the amount in
controversy exceeds $5 million, at least one member of the putative
class is from a state different from any other defendant, and the
number of putative class members exceeds 100.

Judge Robinson notes that the Defendant's Notice of Removal
contains a short and plain statement of the grounds for removal,
including an allegation that the $5 million jurisdictional
threshold under CAFA is met based on the putative class definition
and the claims alleged in the FACAP.

The Plaintiff moved to remand on the basis that the Defendant's
amount-in-controversy allegation was not plausible given its own
statement in the FACAP that its damages would not exceed $5
million. The Defendant responded, attaching an expert report to
support its amount-in-controversy allegation.

The Court granted Plaintiff's request in the reply brief for
limited jurisdictional discovery. The Court permitted the Plaintiff
to depose the Defendant's expert, Angela Paslay, and allowed the
Plaintiff to supplement its reply brief and the Defendant to file a
surreply.

The Plaintiff argues, among other things, that Paslay incorrectly
included wells in her report that are not part of the class
definition.

The class definition in the FACAP is:

     All persons who were royalty owners in Kansas wells from
     May 1, 2014, to the date Class Notice is given, where
     Defendant was the operator (or a working interest owner who
     marketed its share of gas and directly paid royalties to the
     royalty owners) and whose gas was moved over the Ulysses Gas
     Gathering System (UGGS) and originally dedicated under the
     June 15, 1998 Amoco Gas Processing Agreement.

Excluded from the Class are: (1) the Office of Natural Resources
Revenue, formerly known as the Mineral Management Service (Indian
tribes and the United States); (2) all presiding judges together
with their immediate family members; (3) Defendant, its affiliates,
and employees, officers, and directors; (4) any publicly traded
company or its affiliated entity that produces, gathers, processes,
or markets gas; (5) overriding royalty owners and others whose
interest was carved out from the lessee's interest; and (6) royalty
owners whose leases expressly authorize the deduction of costs
incurred to process the gas or otherwise place the gas or its
constituents in marketable condition.

In the supplemental reply brief, Judge Robinson notes that the
Plaintiff appears to concede that the Defendant plausibly alleges
that the amount-in-controversy is met, but disputes the Defendant's
expert's calculations and submits its own expert report. The
Plaintiff's expert, Daniel T. Reineke, submitted a declaration.

The Court agrees with the Defendant that the Plaintiff's evidence
falls short of demonstrating that the Defendant's
amount-in-controversy figures are legally impossible.

In sum, the Court does not have sufficient evidence before it to
accept as true Reineke's assertion in his declaration that the
class definition in this case is limited to 170 wells, such that
the Court can make a finding that Paslay's calculations and well
assumptions are legally impossible. There is a question of fact
about how many wells are covered by the Plaintiff's class
definition, which depends on how many wells' gas both moved over
the UGGS and were originally dedicated under the Amoco Agreement.

Even if it is highly improbable that all of the wells used by
Paslay in her calculations will ultimately fit within the class
definition, Judge Robinson finds that the Defendant's evidence
falls short of demonstrating that Paslay's calculations are legally
impossible.

The Plaintiff's second point of error with Paslay's calculations is
that the amount in controversy must be measured as of the date the
FACAP was filed in state court--May 15, 2023, Judge Robinson
opines. The Plaintiff argues that the time period for the class to
recover cannot extend beyond the date the FACAP was filed, despite
the fact that the class definition in the FACAP explicitly seeks to
recover between May 1, 2014, and "the date Class Notice is given."

The Court need not determine whether the Table 1 or Table 2
calculation in Palsay's report is correct, because in Table 2,
Paslay calculated that the minimum amount in controversy exceeds $7
million if measured between May 1, 2014, and April 2023, just
before the FACAP was filed.

Therefore, even if the amount in controversy is measured between
May 1, 2014, and the date the FACAP was filed, Judge Robinson
points out that the Defendant has met its burden of demonstrating
by a preponderance of the evidence that CAFA's
amount-in-controversy threshold is met, and the Plaintiff has
failed to show that the Defendant's allegation is legally
impossible.

Therefore, the Court denies the Plaintiff's Motion to Remand.

META PLATFORMS: Obtains Personal Info Without Consent, Wright Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
GRETCHEN WRIGHT, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. META PLATFORMS, INC., Defendant, Case No.
2:23-cv-05566-DCN (D.S.C., Nov. 2, 2023) is a class action against
Defendant for obtaining Plaintiff's personal identifying
information from the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles
website without her consent -- information expressly protected
under the federal Drivers' Privacy Protection Act.

According to the complaint, when users visit facebook.com, Meta
surreptitiously installs a tracking code called the Meta Pixel,
onto their web browsers. This tracking code, operating in the
background, stays on Facebook users' browsers for up to 90 days and
allows Defendant to collect information about what those users do
when they are browsing other websites separate from the Facebook
platform. This includes tracking the actions Facebook users take
while using the SCDMV website, https://scdmvonline.com/.

On behalf of herself and the Class, Plaintiff seeks: (1) injunctive
and equitable relief as necessary to protect the interests of
Plaintiff and the Class by requiring Defendant to comply with the
DPPA; (2) actual damages, but not less than liquidated damages of
$2,500 for each violation of the DPPA; and (3) reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs and other litigation expenses.

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES: Settlement of Shareholder Suit for Court Nod
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mohawk Industries, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in October 27, 2023, that the
parties in a putative state securities class action lawsuit filed
in the Superior court of the State of Delaware on January 30, 2020,
reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit in exchange
for the dismissal and a release of all claims against the
defendants.

The company and certain of its present and former executive
officers were named as defendants in said complaint that alleged
that defendants violated Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act
of 1933. The complaint was filed on behalf of shareholders who
purchased shares of the company's common stock in Mohawk Industries
Retirement Plan 1 and Mohawk Industries Retirement Plan 2 between
April 27, 2017 and July 25, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the court granted a temporary stay of the
litigation. The stay may be lifted according to the terms set forth
in the court's order to stay litigation.

Mohawk Industries, Inc. manufactures, sources and markets a broad
line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone tile and other
products including natural stone, porcelain slabs and quartz
countertops, which it distributes primarily in North America,
Europe, Brazil and Russia through various selling channels, which
include company-owned stores, independent distributors, residential
and commercial contractors and home centers.


MOHAWK INDUSTRIES: Sued Over Water Contamination in Alabama Court
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mohawk Industries, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in October 27, 2023, that in
April 2023, Shelby County, Alabama and Talladega County, Alabama
filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama
against certain manufacturers, suppliers, and users of chemicals
containing specific perfluorinated compounds, including Aladdin
Manufacturing Corporation, Aladdin Manufacturing Corporation of
Alabama, LLC, Mohawk Carpet, LLC, and Mohawk Industries, Inc.

The Counties both seek monetary damages and injunctive relief,
claiming that their water supplies contain excessive amounts of
perfluorinated compounds.

The defendants removed this case to federal court on May 12, 2023,
and the case remains pending.

MOSAIC CO: Continues to Defend Elevated Radiation-Related Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Mosaic Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the elevated
radiation-related class suit in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth
Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County, Florida.

On August 27, 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed in
the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in
Hillsborough County, Florida against the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Mosaic Global Operations Inc., and two unrelated
co-defendants.

The complaint alleges claims related to elevated levels of
radiation at two manufactured housing communities located on
reclaimed mining land in Mulberry, Polk County, Florida, allegedly
due to phosphate mining and reclamation activities occurring
decades ago.

Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, including punitive damages,
injunctive relief requiring remediation of their properties, and a
medical monitoring program funded by the defendants.

On October 14, 2021, the court substantially granted a motion to
dismiss that it filed late in 2020, with leave for the plaintiffs
to amend their complaint.

On November 3, 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and, in
response, Mosaic filed a motion to dismiss that complaint with
prejudice on November 15, 2021.

On December 23, 2021, plaintiffs opposed that motion and Mosaic
replied to that opposition on January 26, 2022.

On April 6, 2022, the court heard argument on the motions to
dismiss filed by Mosaic and each other co-defendant.

In late March 2023, the court denied defendants' motions to
dismiss.

The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter.

NAPLES BOTANICAL: Wright Sues Over Unpaid Overtime Wages

Angela M. Wright, and other similarly situated individuals,
Plaintiff v. Naples Botanical Garden, Inc., Defendant, Case No.
2:23-cv-00987 (M.D. Fla., Nov. 2, 2023) is a class action to

October 6, 2023, or more than three years. During her employment
with Defendant, the Plaintiff was misclassified as a building
service manager. The Plaintiff worked at the premises more than 40
hours, but she was not paid for overtime at the correct rate, says
the suit.

NCAA: Court Excludes Osborne's Cass Cert Opinions
-------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as House, et al., v. National
Collegiate Athletic Association, et al., Case No. 4:20-cv-03919-CW
(N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Claudia Wilken entered an order
granting Plaintiffs' motion to exclude the opinions of Barbara
Osborne from the class certification proceedings.

The Court finds that the opinion at issue lacks sufficient support
and, accordingly, grants Plaintiffs' motion to exclude it as
unreliable.

The Defendants have not pointed to any support for Osborne’s
opinion that any additional payments to female student-athletes
beyond those contemplated in Dr. Rascher's BNIL model would amount
to prohibited pay-for-play. See Osborne Rep. at 53. Because the
opinion at issue lacks a sufficient foundation, the Court grants
Plaintiffs’ motion to exclude it as unreliable.

C. Whether Osborne's opinions are pertinent to class certification
Plaintiffs move to exclude Osborne’s opinions on the alternative
ground that they are not relevant to the resolution of their motion
for certification under Rule 23(b)(3). Docket No. 293 at
12-13.

The Defendants respond that Osborne's opinions are relevant to the
class certification inquiry because they "relate to predominance"
and thus "bear directly on class certification" under Rule
23(b)(3).

Barbara Osborne is Defendants' expert on Title IX. Osborne is a
professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a
joint appointment in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science
and the School of Law.

Osborne directs the graduate program in Sport Administration at the
Department of Exercise and Sport Science, and she teaches courses
on college athletics, NCAA governance and compliance, and sports
law.

NEW JERSEY: Lovaglio Sues Over Unfair Newborn Blood Testing Program
-------------------------------------------------------------------
HANNAH LOVAGLIO, J.L. and B.L., by next friend, Hannah Lovaglio,
ERICA JEDYNAK, JEREMIAH JEDYNAK, C.J., by next friends, Erica and
Jeremiah Jedynak, Plaintiffs v. KAITLAN BASTON, Acting Commissioner
of the New Jersey Department of Health, sued in her official
capacity, NANCY SCOTTO-ROSATO, Assistant Commissioner for the
Division of Family Health Services, sued in her official capacity,
Defendants, Case No. 3:23-cv-21803 (D.N.J., Nov. 2, 2023) is a
class action seeking declaratory, injunctive, and class action
relief against Defendants for the deprivation of Plaintiffs'
rights, and the rights of those similarly situated, under the
Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States
Constitution.

According to the complaint, New Jersey does not obtain informed
consent from the parents before taking blood from their newborn to
be screened for diseases. Instead, parents are simply given a
handout about the testing process. The handout says that New Jersey
law requires the blood draw, that early diagnosis of "rare and
serious illnesses" is important, and that parents should "KNOW YOUR
RESULTS!" New Jersey then keeps that blood from every baby born in
the state for 23 years, all without parents' knowledge or consent.
The practice got even worse since not only does New Jersey secretly
hold onto the blood for decades, it can use the blood however it
wants. There is simply no limit to what New Jersey can do with the
blood. The retention of the blood from the newborn screening
program absent a warrant or informed consent violates the Fourth
Amendment rights of Plaintiffs' children, says the complaint.

New Jersey is a state situated within both the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeastern regions of the United States.[BN]

    and Philip C. Federico and Chase T. Brockstedt, both of Baird

The Plaintiffs have filed this putative class action arising out of
the Defendant'wrongful and negligent course of conduct in their
operation of the New-Indy Catawba paper mill, causing emissions of
hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl
sulfide (collectively,"total reduced sulfur" or "TRS") and other
noxious chemical contaminants to be released from its wastewater
treatment facility into surrounding communities.

The Plaintiffs seek certification of two classes: a Property Damage
Class, and a Personal Injury Health Effects Class. Plaintiffs will
present class-wide proof on behalf of these two Classes to
establish wrongful conduct on the part of the Defendants;
class-wide exposure to harmful emissions from the Mill over defined
periods of time and within defined geographic areas, using United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") modeling techniques
and other scientific evidence; and prove certain class-wide
elements of damages.

The Plaintiffs seek certification of the following two classes:

  -- The Property Damage Class, for which Plaintiffs seek
     certification pursuant to Rule 23(b)(3), Fed. R. Civ. P.
includes
     all individuals who own(ed) a single-family home as of January

     31, 2021 and for any period of time thereafter, located within

     the Property Damage Class Area.

  -- The Property Damage Class Area represents a geographic area in

     which there was a persistence of odor reports to DHEC during
the
     period from at least January 31, 2021, until September 1,
2021,
     and for which air dispersion modeling has confirmed ambient
     concentrations in excess of recognized thresholds for odor
     perception."

The Plaintiffs, on their own behalf, and on behalf of the Property
Damage Class, seek damages for lost rental value to their property
from January 31, 2021, to the present, and injunctive relief to
abate the continuing impacts of New Indy's emissions.

The Plaintiffs, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Personal
Injury Health Effects Class, seeks damage for personal injuries
caused by emissions and odors from the New Indy facility from
January 31, 2021, to the present, and injunctive relief to abate
the continuing impacts of New Indy's emissions.

NEWELL BRANDS: NJ Court OKs Settlement of Securities Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Newell Brands Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in October 27, 2023, that on
February 10, 2023, the Superior Court of New Jersey granted the
plaintiff's motion for final approval of settlement. The deadline
to appeal the order granting final approval of the settlement has
expired and the settlement is final with regards to case captioned
"Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System v. Newell
Brands Inc., et al.," Civil Action No. HUD-L-003492-18 filed on
September 6, 2018.

The company and certain of its current and former officers and
directors were named as defendants in said securities class action
lawsuit filed in said court on behalf of all persons who acquired
Company common stock pursuant to the S-4 registration statement and
prospectus issued in connection with the April 2016 acquisition of
Jarden Corporation.

In October 2022, the company entered into a settlement agreement to
resolve the claims asserted in this lawsuit. Under the settlement,
the company agreed to create a settlement fund of approximately
$103 million for the benefit of the class, subject to certain
exclusions, which was predominantly funded by insurance proceeds.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the court granted the plaintiff's
motion for preliminary approval of the settlement, and the company
and its insurers paid the required amount into the settlement
fund.

Newell Brands is a global consumer goods company with a portfolio
of well-known brands, including Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco,
Coleman, Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Yankee Candle, Paper Mate,
FoodSaver, Dymo, EXPO, Elmer's, Oster, NUK, Spontex and Campingaz.


NEXSTAR MEDIA: Advertising Antitrust Class Suit Trial Date Not Set
------------------------------------------------------------------
Nexstar Media Group Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
District Court for the Northern District has not set trial date for
advertising antitrust class suit.

Starting in July 2018, a series of plaintiffs filed putative class
action lawsuits against the Defendants and others alleging that
they coordinated their pricing of television advertising, thereby
harming a proposed class of all buyers of television advertising
time from one or more of the Defendants since at least January 1,
2014.

The plaintiff in each lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and money
damages caused by the alleged antitrust violations.

On October 9, 2018, these cases were consolidated in a
multi-district litigation in the District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois captioned In Re: Local TV Advertising
Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:18-cv-06785 ("MDL Litigation").

On January 23, 2019, the Court in the MDL Litigation appointed
plaintiffs' lead and liaison counsel.

The MDL Litigation is ongoing.

The Plaintiffs' Consolidated Complaint was filed on April 3, 2019;
Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss on September 5, 2019.

Before the Court ruled on that motion, the Plaintiffs filed their
Second Amended Consolidated Complaint on September 9, 2019.

OVERSTOCK.COM INC: Dismissal of Securities Suit Under Appeal
------------------------------------------------------------
OVERSTOCK.COM, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2023, that an
appeal was filed with the Tenth Circuit on October 18, 2021 with
regards to a ruling by the United States District Court of Utah on
September 20, 2021 entering judgment in the company's favor.
Parties are still awaiting a ruling from the circuit that heard
oral argument on the appeal on February 9, 2023.

On September 27, 2019, a purported securities class action lawsuit
was filed against the company and the company's former Chief
Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer in the United
States District court of Utah, alleging violations under Section
10(b), Rule 10b-5, Section 20(a), and Section 20A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On October 8, 2019, October 17, 2019, October 31, 2019, and
November 20, 2019, four similar lawsuits were filed in the same
court also naming the company and the above referenced former
executives as defendants, bringing similar claims under the
Exchange Act, and seeking similar relief. These cases were
consolidated into a single lawsuit in December 2019. The court
appointed The Mangrove Partners Master Fund Ltd. as lead plaintiff
in January 2020. In March 2020, an amended consolidated complaint
was filed against the company, the company's President, the
company's former Chief Executive Officer, and the company's former
Chief Financial Officer.

The company filed a motion to dismiss and, on September 28, 2020,
the court granted the company's motion and entered judgment in the
company's favor. The plaintiffs filed a motion to amend their
complaint on October 23, 2020. The United States District court of
Utah granted the plaintiffs' motion to amend their complaint on
January 6, 2021. The plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on
January 11, 2021.

The company filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs' amended
complaint, and on September 20, 2021, the court granted the
company's motion and entered judgment in the company's favor. On
October 18, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal,
appealing the ruling of the district court to the United States
court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

PARKWAY FAMILY: Courts Denies Bid to Strike Siringi's Class Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Lee H. Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Houston Division, denies the Defendant's motion
to dismiss or strike class allegations in the lawsuit styled COSBY
SIRINGI, Plaintiff v. PARKWAY FAMILY MAZDA/KIA, Defendant, Case No.
4:23-cv-01499 (S.D. Tex.).

The Plaintiff, Cosby Siringi, alleges that he received prerecorded
telemarketing calls and text messages to his residential phone from
Parkway Family Mazda/Kia even though his phone number was on the
National Do Not Call Registry and he had not consented to receive
the calls and texts. Siringi sues Parkway on behalf of himself and
similarly situated individuals, seeking class certification. He
alleges violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47
U.S.C. Section 227, et seq., and its implementing regulations, and
the Texas Business & Commerce Code.

In June 2023, Parkway moved to dismiss Siringi's first amended
complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, and separately moved to dismiss or strike the class
allegations under Rule 12(f).

Before ruling on the motions, the Court granted Siringi leave to
file his second amended complaint, which moots Parkway's Rule
12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. Judge Rosenthal says Parkway's motion
to dismiss or strike is ripe for consideration because Siringi's
pleading amendment left the class allegations unchanged.

Mr. Siringi brings this action on behalf of four proposed classes,
which he defines as follows:

   (1) TCPA 227(b) Class -- Since May 18, 2019, through the date
       of certification, Plaintiff and all persons within the
       United States to whose cellular telephone number Defendant
       placed or authorized Coastal to place on Defendant's
       behalf a prerecorded or artificial voice telemarketing
       call;

   (2) TCPA 227(c) Class -- Since May 18, 2019, through the date
       of certification, all persons within the United States to
       whose telephone number Defendant directed a third-party
       software company to placed two or more telemarketing calls
       in a 12-month period when the telephone number to which
       the telephone calls were made was on the National
       Do-Not-Call Registry at the time of the calls;

   (3) Texas Section 302.101 Class -- Since May 18, 2019, through
       the date of certification, Plaintiff and all residents of
       the State of Texas to whose telephone number Defendant
       placed (or had placed on its behalf) a telephone
       solicitation when Defendant did not hold a registration
       certificate as required by Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section
       302.101; and

   (4) Texas Section 305.053 Class -- Since May 18, 2019, through
       the date of certification, Plaintiff and all residents of
       the State of Texas to whose telephone number Defendant
       placed or authorized Coastal or third=party software
       companies to place on Defendant's behalf a call in
       violation of 47 U.S.C. Section 227 or regulation
       promulgated thereunder.

Parkway moves to dismiss or strike the class allegations on the
grounds that the proposed classes: (1) fail to meet the
requirements of Rule 23(a) and (b); and (2) are improper "fail-safe
classes."

Because Parkway challenges the proposed classes on the pleadings,
Judge Rosenthal says it must demonstrate that the proposed classes
are flawed on the face of the complaint.

The Court finds that the viability of the proposed classes turns on
factual matters that must be developed in discovery, and
accordingly, denies Parkway's motion to dismiss at this stage.

Although class certification must be determined as early as
practicable, Judge Rosenthal points out that some targeted
discovery appears to be necessary to determine whether Siringi's
allegations do, or do not, satisfy Rule 23(b)(2) or (3) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Judge Rosenthal finds that Parkway's arguments do not establish
that it is "facially apparent" from the complaint that Siringi's
proposed classes are uncertifiable. Judge Rosenthal holds that
Parkway may have valid affirmative defenses against some unknown
number of class members but it does not defeat certification.

Parkway also argues that Siringi's proposed classes are fail-safe
because they comprise only persons, who received calls from Parkway
without consent.

The Court finds that Siringi's proposed classes are not fail-safe.
The proposed classes are not limited to persons, who did not
consent to be called by Parkway. Judge Rosenthal explains that
Siringi's proposed classes are not defined to include only
plaintiffs without an "established business relationship" with
Parkway, who received calls from Parkway on a residential telephone
number. Accordingly, Judge Rosenthal holds that it is not true that
the putative class members either win or, by virtue of losing, are
not in the class, citing In re Nexium Antitrust Litig., 777 F.3d 9,
22 n.19 (1st Cir. 2015).

Finally, even if Siringi's proposed classes are fail-safe, Judge
Rosenthal opines that this would not preclude certification because
the classes are "linked" by a "common complaint"--unwanted
telephone calls from Parkway.

PICKLEBALL TOPCO: Knowles Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website

similarly situated, Plaintiff v. PICKLEBALL TOPCO LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 1:23-cv-09689-AS (S.D.N.Y., Nov. 2, 2023) is a civil
rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design,

During Plaintiff's visits to the website, the last one occurring on
July 14, 2023, in an attempt to purchase the Tyrol Drive V Court
Shoes from the Defendant, the Plaintiff encountered multiple access
barriers that denied Plaintiff a shopping experience similar to
that of a sighted person and full and equal access to the goods and
services offered to the public and made available to the public.

The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that
Defendant's website will become and remain accessible to blind and
visually-impaired consumers.

PIERCE COUNTY, WA: Starkgraf's Bid to Hire Counsel Under Advisement
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughan of the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Washington, Tacoma, has taken under advisement
the Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel in the lawsuit
captioned KRISTOPHER STARKGRAF, Plaintiff v. PIERCE COUNTY COUNCIL,
et al., Defendants, Case No. 3:23-cv-05390-TSZ-SKV (W.D. Wash.).

The lawsuit is a civil rights action proceeding under 42 U.S.C.
Section 1983. Plaintiff Kristopher Starkgraf is currently confined
at the Pierce County Jail. He has submitted to the Court for
consideration a request for appointment of counsel and a document,
which he identifies as an "Opposition to Answer of Defendants
Pierce County/Motion to Add Defendant and Show Cause." The
Defendants object to the Plaintiff's requests for relief.

The Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel is taken under
advisement and is stricken from the Court's calendar at this time,
Judge Vaughan holds.

The Plaintiff seeks an Order directing that counsel be appointed in
this matter based upon extraordinary circumstances and the
likelihood that his case will succeed on the merits. The Plaintiff
notes in his motion that the issues raised in this case are similar
to those that were successfully litigated in a case filed by
another Jail inmate, Justin Davey (Davey v. Pierce County Council,
C21-5068-LK). He also appears to reference the fact that counsel
was appointed to represent Mr. Davey in his previous case given the
complexity of the legal issues and the potential complexities in
the litigation process.

Finally, the Plaintiff notes that he currently has a number of
other actions pending in this Court concerning the conditions of
his confinement at the Jail and that the conditions at the Jail
have exacerbated his mental illness which, in turn, has interfered
with his ability to litigate his claims.

The instant action is one of a number of cases recently filed by
Pierce County Jail inmates asserting claims concerning the plumbing
and sewage system at the Jail. The Court is currently attempting to
locate counsel to provide representation in one such case that was
filed as a purported class action. Mr. Davey, a/k/a Echota
Wolfclan, is the lead Plaintiff in that case and Mr. Starkgraf
signed on to the proposed class action complaint as a purported
class member (Wolfclan v. Washington State DSHS,
C23-5399-TSZ-SKV).

The Court deems it appropriate to defer its ruling on the request
for appointment of counsel submitted in this case until it has
determined whether counsel can be located to provide representation
in the other case in which the Plaintiff has indicated he is a
participant. The Court notes that the Plaintiff included in his
reply brief in support of his request for counsel a request that
his claims be joined with those asserted in Case No.
C23-5399-TSZ-SKV.

Any request for joinder is properly filed in the action, which the
Plaintiff seeks to join. Moreover, given that the Plaintiff is a
proposed class member in that case already, Judge Vaughan opines
that it would be prudent for the Plaintiff to await resolution of
the counsel issue in that case before seeking further relief
therein.

Judge Vaughan also holds that the Plaintiff's opposition to the
Defendants' answer is stricken. A response to an answer to a civil
complaint is not a proper pleading and is only permitted when
specifically ordered by the Court. The Court sees no need for a
response to be filed by the Plaintiff in this case. The Plaintiff
will have an opportunity to litigate the substance of his claims at
a later time.

To the extent the Plaintiff seeks to add a Defendant to this action
by way of his proposed opposition to the Defendants' answer, Judge
Vaughan advised the Plaintiff that the proper way to add a
Defendant is to seek leave to amend in accordance with Fed. R. Civ.
P. 15 and Local Civil Rule 15, which requires that a proposed
amended pleading be submitted with any motion seeking leave to
amend.

Judge Vaughan directs the Clerk to send copies of this Order to the
Plaintiff, to counsel for the Defendants, and to the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly.

POSTMEDS INC: Faces Garcia Suit Over Alleged Data Breach
--------------------------------------------------------
FRANKIE GARCIA, as an individual and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. POSTMEDS, INC.; and DOES 1-10,
Defendants, Case No. 4:23-cv-05726 (N.D. Cal., November 7, 2023)
arises from the Defendants' alleged negligent failure to implement
and maintain reasonable cybersecurity procedures that resulted in a
data breach of its systems on or around August 30, 2023 through
September 2, 2023.

On or around September 29, 2023, PostMeds, Inc. mailed data breach
notices to impacted parties. According to notice mailed to impacted
individuals, the breach resulted in individuals' name, prescription
information, mediation types, demographic information, and/or
prescribing physician, among other personal, sensitive and
confidential information, was compromised and acquired by unknown
third parties. Accordingly, Plaintiff seeks, among other things,
compensatory damages, statutory damages, injunctive relief,
attorneys' fees, and costs of suit.

The Plaintiff brings this class action complaint to redress
injuries related to the data breach and asserts claims on behalf of
a nationwide class for negligence, negligence per se, declaratory
judgment, and common law invasion of privacy. He also brings claims
on behalf of a California subclass for violation of the California
Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, the California Customer
Records Act, the California Unfair Competition Law, and for
invasion of privacy based on the California Constitution.

PRECIGEN INC: Class Settlement in Abadilla Suit Gets Final Nod
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MARTIN JOSEPH ABADILLA, et
al., v. PRECIGEN, INC., et al., Case No. 5:20-cv-06936-BLF (N.D.
Cal.), the Hon. Judge Beth Labson Freeman entered an order that:

   1. Mr. Shah's Motion for Final Approval of Settlement and Plan
of
      Allocation is granted.

   2. Mr. Shah's Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Expenses and
Service
      Award is granted.

   3. Mr. Dean's and Mr. Dvores's objections are overruled.

In this putative class action, Lead Plaintiff Raju Shah alleges
that Precigen, Randal J. Kirk, and Robert F. Walsh committed
securities fraud by publicly touting Precigen's methane
bioconversion platform ("MBP"), which sought to convert cheap
natural gas into valuable industrial products.

Lead Plaintiff brings two claims:

   (1) a claim for violation of section 10(b) of the Securities
       Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder,

       against all Defendants, and

   (2) a claim against Mr. Kirk and Mr. Walsh for violation of
section
       20(a) of the Exchange Act.

The written Settlement Agreement contemplates the certification of

PRESTIGE COMMUNITY: Wins Summary Judgment v. Tu Le
---------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Tu Le, et al., v. Prestige
Community Credit Union et al., Case No. 8:22-cv-00259-JVS-KES (C.D.
Cal.), the Hon. Judge James V. Selna entered an order:

  -- Granting Prestige's motion for summary judgment; and

  -- Denying the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification as
moot.

The Court says, "The Plaintiffs have failed to show one of the key
elements of financial elder abuse, which is that Prestige knew or
should have known that Plaintiffs would be elders. Nor have
Plaintiffs shown that Prestige should have known of the Church's
alleged Ponzi scheme. As previously mentioned, it is undisputed
that Prestige conducts business solely in Texas."

While Prestige is part of a shared branch agreement, Prestige is
not provided with individual checks and deposit details that take
place at a shared branch location. Neither Gugino nor Shanafelt
were aware that most of the Church’s transactions were conducted
at shared branches, the Court adds.

The following facts are undisputed and come from Prestige's Reply
to Plaintiffs' Statement of Genuine Disputes of Material Facts.

The case arises out of a multi-million-dollar Ponzi scheme that was
"perpetrated by third parties Kent R.E. Whitney and the Church for
the Healthy Self also known as the CHS Trust."

Prestige is a Texas community credit union organized in and
conducting business solely in Texas.

7, 2023), arises from the Defendant's failure to properly secure

RAZOR OILFIELD: Fails to Pay Overtime Wages, Lafleur Suit Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shaphan Lafleur, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. Razor Oilfield Services, LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 5:23-cv-01010-PRW (W.D. Okla., November 7, 2023) seeks all
available relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the
Portal-to-Portal Act in connection with the Defendant's failure to
pay Plaintiff time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all
hours worked over 40 during each seven day workweek while working
for Defendant paid on a day rate basis.

The Plaintiff began working for Defendant on or about January 2022
as an operator/helper and stopped working on or about October 2022.
However, Defendant misclassified Plaintiff and many other similarly
situated employees as independent contractors. While employed by
Defendant, the Plaintiff was at all times issued an IRS Tax Form
1099 for his work, and Defendant failed to pay Plaintiff overtime
premium pay when he worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, which
was common. At material times, the Defendant paid Plaintiff and
similarly situated workers only their respective daily rates of pay
irrespective of whether they had already worked 40 hours in a
workweek., says the suit.

RB HEALTH: Loses Bid for Judgment on Pleadings in DiGiacinto Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu of the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of California denies the Defendant's motion
for judgment on the pleadings in the lawsuit styled JOSEPH
DIGIACINTO, Plaintiff v. RB HEALTH (US) LLC, Defendant, Case No.
4:22-cv-04690-DMR (N.D. Cal.).

Plaintiff Joseph DiGiacinto filed this putative class action
against Defendant RB Health (US) LLC alleging false, misleading,
and deceptive marketing practices with respect to the labeling of
its "Children's Delsym Cough Relief" product. RB Health moves
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c) for judgment on
the pleadings.

The Court incorporates by reference its summary of the allegations
in DiGiacinto's amended complaint from the April 11, 2023 Order
denying RB Health's motion to dismiss and assumes familiarity with
those allegations here (see DiGiacinto v. RB Health (US) LLC, No.
22-CV-04690-DMR, 2023 WL 2918745, at *1-2 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 11,
2023)).

RB Health now moves for judgment on the pleadings based on its
second affirmative defense: that DiGiacinto's claims are expressly
preempted by federal law. It also argues that DiGiacinto asserts
"deceptive by implication" claims that are not viable under
California law.

With respect to preemption, RB Health argues that DiGiacinto's
state law claims challenging the labels of the Children's Delsym
Cough Relief product (the "children's product") are expressly
preempted by the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"). It
contends that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the
labels on the children's product and the Delsym Cough Relief
product (the "adults' product") pursuant to a New Drug Application
("NDA") and Supplemental New Drug Applications ("sNDA"), and that
the "FDA-approved labels have been changed" only "in minor ways
since 2014."

RB Health filed a request for judicial notice ("RJN") with its
opening brief in which it asks the Court to take judicial notice of
11 documents pertaining to its preemption argument, two of which
are FDA guidance materials. The remaining documents are records
from the FDA related to the NDA and sNDAs for the products at issue
in this case. RB Health generally argues that the Court may take
"judicial notice of records and reports of administrative bodies"
and cites district court cases in which courts have taken judicial
notice of FDA materials.

RB Health's RJN includes a basic description of each exhibit in
chart form and brief argument regarding the relevance of the
materials. However, Judge Ryu notes, it does not address the
relevance of each individual exhibit. More importantly, it does not
identify precisely what fact or facts in each exhibit it asks the
Court to judicially notice, or whether it asks the Court to simply
take notice of the existence of the Exhibits.

Judge Ryu opines that RB Health's failure to provide a clear
explanation of which facts in Exhibits 7-11 it contends are
judicially noticeable precludes the Court's ability to evaluate
DiGiacinto's objections and ultimately to determine whether the
unspecified facts are subject to judicial notice.

RB Health also submitted a supplemental RJN with its reply in which
it asks the Court to take judicial notice of four additional
exhibits, Exhibits 12-15. While it explains the relevance of each
exhibit, Judge Ryu finds that RB Health again failed to identify
which facts in the materials it contends are judicially
noticeable.

RB Health later submitted a third RJN more than five weeks after it
filed its reply, to which DiGiacinto objected. It asks the Court to
take judicial notice of a December 2013 letter that appears to
respond to DiGiacinto's argument that Exhibit 10 is incomplete
and/or lacking complete context.

Judge Ryu notes that RB Health's preemption argument relies
entirely on materials outside the complaint that it contends are
judicially noticeable. However, Judge Ryu opines that its original
RJN was deficient as it did not identify the specific facts it
contends are judicially noticeable in the documents. It is not the
Court's responsibility to comb through its submissions to try to
determine what facts in its documents are at issue.

RB Health also improperly filed an RJN with its reply, as well as
another RJN weeks after the briefing was complete, seeking to
introduce a document that appears to be key in assessing its
preemption argument without leave of Court and without showing good
cause, Judge Ryu points out.

Given the identified problems with RB Health's RJNs, as well as the
parties' disputes about the meaning and relevance of the materials,
the Court declines to take judicial notice of any of the documents
submitted by the parties. Moreover, given the nature of the
disputes identified by the parties in their briefing and RJN
submissions, the Court concludes that the preemption issue is more
appropriate for a motion for summary judgment, on a full record
that walks through the relevant evidence regarding the history of
the products' packaging and any FDA approvals thereof.

Accordingly, Judge Ryu holds that that portion of the motion for
judgment on the pleadings is denied without prejudice to RB Health
raising this issue at summary judgment.

RB Health also moves for judgment on the pleadings on the ground
that California law does not allow "deceptive by implication"
claims like those at issue here. It argues that DiGiacinto's claims
"seek to impose liability based on an entirely true representation
by virtue of what it 'implies' about other products not referenced
on the label and that may or may not be sold in proximity or even
in the same store." According to RB Health, such claims are not
actionable under Shaeffer v. Califia Farms, LLC, 44 Cal. App. 5th
1125, 1139 (2020).

The Court concludes that the first amended complaint adequately
alleges how RB Health's labeling has the capacity, likelihood or
tendency to deceive or confuse the public. This portion of the
motion for judgment on the pleadings is, accordingly, denied.

For these reasons, the Court denies the motion for judgment on the
pleadings without prejudice to RB Health raising the issue of
preemption in its motion for summary judgment. The motion for
judgment on the pleadings is denied as to RB Health's argument that
DiGiacinto brings "deceptive by implication" claims that are not
actionable.

Additionally, DiGiacinto filed an administrative motion to file the
exhibits to his RJN under seal and seeks to redact portions of his
opposition referring to those materials on the ground that RB
Health designated the exhibits as confidential pursuant to the
parties' stipulated protective order.

RB Health filed a corresponding motion to strike or seal portions
of the exhibits attached to DiGiacinto's RJN. The parties'
administrative motions to seal are denied as moot, as the Court did
not rely on the sealed materials in deciding this motion.

Finally, the parties filed a joint discovery letter on Oct. 20,
2023, regarding their dispute about whether discovery should be
stayed pending the Court's ruling on the motion for judgment on the
pleadings. Given the Court's ruling on the motion, the joint
discovery letter is denied.

SANTANDER CONSUMER: Gallagher Appeals Case Dismissal to 8th Cir.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff ROBERT J. GALLAGHER filed an appeal from rulings entered
in his lawsuit styled ROBERT J. GALLAGHER, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SANTANDER
CONSUMER USA INC., Defendant, Case No. 4:20-cv-01083-SEP, in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District Of Missouri.

The Plaintiff brought this action against Defendant in state court,
asserting a claim under Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 301.640(1) & (4) for
failure to timely release his lien and to timely certify the
release of his lien. Under Section 301.640(1), a lienholder must,
in the time prescribed by the statute, release the lien on the
certificate of title or a separate document and mail or deliver
these documents to the person satisfying the lien. Failure to
comply permits a remedy of damages that are scaled according to the
length of non-compliance, starting at $500 for failure to comply
within five business days and increasing to $2,500 if
non-compliance extends to twenty business days.

In the Complaint, Mr. Gallagher alleged that Santander's violations
were a "widespread, uniform practice." With a Notice of Removal,
Santander submitted an affidavit from Randy Bockenstedt, Senior
Director of Collections for Santander, stating that Santander
released more than 44,000 liens relating to vehicle loan accounts
in Missouri between 2015 and 2020.

On July 1, 2021, the Eastern District of Missouri denied the
Plaintiff's September 11, 2020 motion for remand.

On June 27, 2022, the Defendant filed a motion for summary
judgment.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Plaintiff
asked the Court on July 28, 2022 to enter an order certifying a
class.

On September 30, 2023, District Judge Sarah E. Pitlyk entered an
Order granting Defendant's motion for summary judgment and denying
Plaintiff's motion to certify class. Judgment was entered in favor
of Defendant Santander Consumer. It was further ordered that the
case be dismissed with prejudice.

The appellate case is captioned as Gallagher v. Santander Consumer
USA Inc., Case No. 23-3387, in the United States Court of Appeals
for the Eighth Circuit, filed on October 27, 2023.[BN]

SCYNEXIS INC: Feldman Sues Over Misleading Business Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------
BRIAN FELDMAN, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. SCYNEXIS, INC, DAVID ANGULO, AND IVOR
MACLEOD, Defendants, Case No. 2:23-cv-22082 (D.N.J., November 7,
2023) asserts claims against the Defendants under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

Plaintiff Feldman brings the class action on behalf of persons and
entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Scynexis securities
between March 31, 2023 and September 22, 2023, inclusive. The
Plaintiff and other class members have suffered significant losses
and damages as a result of result of Defendants' wrongful acts and
omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the
Company's securities. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made
materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to
disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business,
operations, and prospects. Among other things, the Defendants
failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the equipment used to
manufacture ibrexafungerp was also used to manufacture a
non-antibacterial beta-lactam drug substance, presenting a risk of
cross-contamination; (2) that the Company did not have effective
internal controls and procedures, as well as adequate internal
oversight policies to ensure that its vendor complied with current
Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP); (3) that, due to the
substantial risk of cross-contamination, Scynexis was reasonably
likely to recall its ibrexafungerp tablets and halt its clinical
studies, says the suit.

Headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, Scynexis is a biotechnology
company which is primarily engaged in the development of
ibrexafungerp, a broad-spectrum, intravenous/oral agent for fungal
indications. The company trades on the NASDAQ exchange under the
symbol "SCYX." [BN]

SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY: Faces Consolidated Securities Suit
------------------------------------------------------
Seagate Technology Holdings Public Limited Company disclosed in its
Form 10-Q report for the quarterly period ended September 29, 2023,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27,
2023, that it is facing consolidated case captioned "In re Seagate
Technology Holdings PLC Securities Litigation."

A putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the federal
securities laws, "UA Local 38 Defined Contribution Pension Plan, et
al. v. Seagate Technology Holdings PLC, et al.," was filed on July
10, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California against Seagate Technology Holdings plc, Dr. William D.
Mosley, and Gianluca Romano.

The complaint alleges that it is a securities class action on

Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b5-1. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and
other relief.

The case was consolidated with another case on September 25, 2023.

SENIOR VILLAGE: S.D. Ohio Consolidates Markle and Williams Suits
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chief United States District Judge Algenon L. Marbley of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of S.D. Ohio, Eastern
Division, consolidates two lawsuits: Heather Markle and Theresa
Wheeler, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated,
Plaintiffs v. SENIOR VILLAGE MANAGEMENT, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
2:23-cv-02520-ALM-CMV (S.D. Ohio), and Jerei Williams, Plaintiff v.
SENIOR VILLAGE MANAGEMENT, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 2:22-cv-03420
(S.D. Ohio).

The matter is before the Court on the Parties' Joint Motion to
Consolidate. Specifically, the Motion moves to consolidate this
matter with the lawsuit captioned Williams v. Senior Village
Management, Case No. 2:22-cv-3420 (S.D. Ohio) ("the Williams
lawsuit"). The Williams lawsuit is also pending before the Court.

On June 20, 2023, Plaintiffs Heather Markle and Teresa Wheeler
filed a Complaint against Defendant Senior Village Management, LLC,
alleging failure to pay employees overtime wages, in violation of
the Federal Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA"). The Plaintiffs
bring their FLSA overtime claims as a representative action on
behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated employees of
the opt-in collective.

This matter was originally filed in the Eastern District of
Michigan, but later transferred to the Southern District of Ohio by
joint request of the Parties.

The Williams Complaint was filed on Sept. 14, 2022. In the Williams
lawsuit, the plaintiffs, including Plaintiffs Markle and Wheeler
here, brought a collective and class action against defendants
Senior Village Management LLC, Storypoint Holdings, LLC, and Senior
Living Capital Management Company, LLC, for alleged failure to pay
employees overtime wages, in violation of the FLSA, the Ohio
Minimum Fair Wage Standards Act, and the Ohio Prompt Pay Act.
Before the named plaintiff in Williams filed any request to send a
court-authorized notice to the potential opt-in plaintiffs in that
case, the parties agreed to mediate. Mediation, however, ultimately
failed.

The Parties now move for consolidation of this action with the
Williams lawsuit.

The lawsuit sub judice and the Williams case involve some of the
same parties. The Plaintiffs in the case sub judice, Ms. Heather
Markle and Ms. Theresa Wheeler, are also plaintiffs in the Williams
lawsuit. The Defendant in the case sub judice is also a defendant
in the Williams lawsuit. In addition, both cases involve failure to
pay employees overtime wages in violation of the FLSA.

Overall, the Court finds there is significant overlap in law and
fact between the lawsuit sub judice and the Williams lawsuit, which
strongly supports consolidation.

The Court finds that consolidation of the lawsuit sub judice with
the Williams lawsuit will be the most efficient method of
adjudicating these related matters and will not unfairly prejudice
any parties or cause any significant confusion.

For these reasons, the Court grants the Parties' Joint Motion to
Consolidate. Accordingly, the lawsuit sub judice is consolidated
with the lawsuit captioned Williams v. Senior Village Management,
Case No. 2:22-cv-3420 (S.D. Ohio).

All future filings should be made in the lawsuit sub judice,
Markle, et al. v. Senior Village Management, LLC, Case No.
2:23-cv-02520 (S.D. Ohio).

SKYLER ZHANG: Bid for Clarification OK'd in Fields Suit
-------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Fields v. Skyler Zhang,
LLC, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03002 (D. Colo., Filed Nov 18, 2022),
the Hon. Judge Gordon P. Gallagher entered an order granting
unopposed motion for clarification.

-- The Court entered an order on August 9, 2023, which noted that

    the Court would revisit the discovery schedule in this matter
    after resolving the pending partial motion to dismiss.

-- For clarity, the Court intended to stay both discovery
and-because
    class certification motions necessarily depend on discovery-
    Plaintiff's deadline to move for class certification.

-- Consistent with this Order and the 40 Order, the Court will
re-
    visit the class discovery and motions deadlines after ruling on

    the Partial Motion to Dismiss.

The suit alleges violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.[CC]

SLEEPING BABY: Parties Must Confer Class Cert Deadlines, Court Says
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Carrero v. Sleeping Baby,
Inc., Case No. 6:23-cv-02142 (M.D. Fla., Filed Nov. 6, 2023), the
Hon. Judge Paul G. Byron entered an order directing the parties to
confer regarding deadlines pertinent to a motion for class
certification and advise the Court of agreeable deadlines in their
case management report.

  -- The deadlines should include a deadline for

     (1) disclosure of expert reports - class action, Plaintiff and

         Defendant;

     (2) discovery - class action;

     (3) motion for class certification;

     (4) response to motion for class certification; and

     (5) reply to motion for class certification.

SPACE EXPLORATION: Keopimpha Sues Over Underpayment of Compensation
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Charles Keopimpha, on behalf of the State of California, and others
similarly situated and aggrieved v. SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES
CORP., a Delaware Corporation; and DOES 1-100, inclusive, Case No.
23STCV26766 (Cal. Super. Ct., Los Angeles Cty., Nov. 1, 2023), is
brought to recover civil penalties for the Defendants' violations
of the California Labor Code and pursuant to California's Private
Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") as a result of the Defendants'
underpayment of minimum and overtime wages earned and owed.

The Defendants failed to compensate Aggrieved Employees for all
hours worked because not all hours were recorded, which resulted in
the underpayment of minimum and overtime wages earned and owed. The
Defendants knew or should have known that Aggrieved Employees were
subject to Defendants' control during purported meal periods and/or
were otherwise not afforded full and complete duty-free meal
periods. The Defendants' failure to compensate Aggrieved Employees
for all hours worked was the result of such DEFENDANTS' uniform
timekeeping policies and practices, and the underpayment included
not only minimum wages, but also overtime wages when Aggrieved
Employees worked more than 8 hours in a day and/or more than 40
hours in a week, says the complaint.

The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendants as a non-exempt
Structures Technician from March 13, 2023, through August 4, 2023.

The Defendants own, operate, manage, and/or staff warehouses,
manufacturing centers, offices, and/or other location(s) in
California, including facility in Hawthorne, California.[BN]

STABILITY AI: Wins Bids to Dismiss Andersen Suit w/ Leave to Amend
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge William H. Orrick of the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California grants, with leave to amend, the Defendants'
motions to dismiss the lawsuit captioned SARAH ANDERSEN, et al.,
Plaintiffs v. STABILITY AI LTD., et al., Defendants, Case No.
3:23-cv-00201-WHO (N.D. Cal.).

Artists Sarah Andersen, Kelly McKernan and Karla Ortiz filed this
putative class action on behalf of themselves and other artists to
challenge the Defendants' creation or use of Stable Diffusion, an
artificial intelligence software product. The Plaintiffs allege
that Stable Diffusion was "trained" on the Plaintiffs' works of art
to be able to produce Output Images "in the style" of particular
artists.

The three sets of Defendants ((i) Stability AI Ltd. and Stability
AI, Inc. ("Stability"); (ii) DeviantArt, Inc.; and (iii)
Midjourney, Inc., have each filed separate motions to dismiss and
DeviantArt has filed a special motion to strike under California
Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16.

Finding that the Complaint is defective in numerous respects, Judge
Orrick largely grants the Defendants' motions to dismiss and defer
the special motion to strike. The Plaintiffs are given leave to
amend to provide clarity regarding their theories of how each
Defendant separately violated their copyrights, removed or altered
their copyright management information, or violated their rights of
publicity and plausible facts in support.

In their Complaint, the Plaintiffs allege that Stability created
and released in August 2022 a "general-purpose" software program
called Stable Diffusion under a "permission open-source license."
Stability is alleged to have "downloaded of otherwise acquired
copies of billions of copyrighted images without permission to
create Stable Diffusion," known as "training images."

Over five billion images were scraped (and thereby copied) from the
internet for training purposes for Stable Diffusion through the
services of an organization (LAION, Large-Scale Artificial
Intelligence Open Network) paid by Stability ("Training Images").

Stability's founder and CEO "publicly acknowledged the importance
of using licensed training images, saying that future versions of
Stable Diffusion would be based on 'fully licensed' training
images. But for the current version, he took no steps to obtain or
negotiate suitable licenses."

Stable Diffusion is alleged to be a "software library" providing
"image-generating services" to products produced and maintained by
the Defendants, including "DreamStudio, DreamUp, and on information
and belief, the Midjourney Product." Consumers use these products
by entering text prompts into the programs to create images "in the
style" of artists. The new images are created "through a
mathematical process" that are based entirely on the training
images and are "derivative" of the training images.

The Plaintiffs admit that in general, none of the Stable Diffusion
output images provided in response to a particular
Text Prompt is likely to be a close match for any specific image in
training data. This stands to reason: the use of conditioning data
to interpolate multiple latent images means that the resulting
hybrid image will not look exactly like any of the Training Images
that have been copied into these latent images.

The Plaintiffs also allege that every output image from the system
is derived exclusive from the latent images, which are copies of
copyrighted images. For these reasons, every hybrid image is
necessarily a derivative work.

DreamStudio is Stability's product, also released in August 2002;
it functions as an "user interface" accessing "a trained version of
Stable Diffusion." Use of DreamStudio is billed in packages of
credits that can be used to create images.

Defendant DeviantArt was founded in 2000 and has primarily been
known as an "online community" where digital artists post and share
their work. Deviant Art released its "DreamUp" product in November
2022.  DreamUp is a commercial product that relies on Stable
Diffusion to produce images and is only available to customers, who
pay DeviantArt.

The Plaintiffs allege that at least one LAION dataset that was
incorporated into Stable Diffusion for training images (the
"aesthetic dataset") was procured by scraping primarily 100
websites, including DeviantArt's site. As a result, the Plaintiffs
allege that Stability copied thousands and possible millions of
training images from DeviantArt created by artists and other
DeviantArt subscribers without licensing their works of art.

By incorporating DreamUp and, therefore, Stable Diffusion into its
website, the Plaintiffs allege that DeviantArt is violating its own
terms of service against using content for "commercial" purposes
and without consent, as well as its privacy policy. This conduct,
according to the Plaintiffs, represents "unfair competition
against" DeviantArt's artist customers.

Defendant Midjourney, based in San Francisco, created and
distributes the "Midjourney Product." The Midjourney Product was
launched in beta form in July 2022, and is alleged to be a
commercial product that produces images in response to text prompts
in the same manner as DreamStudio and DreamUp. The Plaintiffs
allege that the Midjourney product uses Stable Diffusion but also
that it was "trained on a subset of the images used to train Stable
Diffusion."

The Midjourney Product is offered to online users of the
internet-chat system Discord, as well as through an app, for a
service fee. Midjourney's CEO has stated that Midjourney used large
open data sets, thereby "implying" that Midjourney used the LAION
datasets for training. In August 2022, Midjourney released a beta
version using Stable Diffusion.

Plaintiff Andersen resides in Oregon and is a full-time cartoonist
and illustrator. The Plaintiffs allege that Andersen has created
and owns a copyright interest in over two hundred Works included in
the Training Data, and has registered or applied for an owns
copyright registrations for sixteen collections that include Works
used as Training Images.

Plaintiff McKernan resides in Tennessee and is a full-time artist.
McKernan is alleged to have created and owns a copyright interest
in over thirty Works used as Training Images. Plaintiff Ortiz
resides in California and is a full-time artist. Ortiz is alleged
to have created and owns a copyright interest in at least twelve
Works that were used as Training Images.

The Plaintiffs assert the following claims against all three sets
of Defendants: (1) Direct Copyright Infringement; (2) Vicarious
Copyright Infringement; (3) violation of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act; (4) violation of the Right to Publicity; (5)
violation of the Common Law Right of Publicity; (6) Unfair
Competition; and (7) Declaratory Relief. The Plaintiffs also assert
a breach of contract claim against DeviantArt only.

Each defendant separately moves to dismiss, and DeviantArt also
moves to strike under California's anti-SLAPP statute, California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 425.16.

Judge Orrick grants the motions to dismiss in full, except for the
direct copyright infringement claim asserted by Plaintiff Andersen
against Stability. The Plaintiffs are given leave to amend and
attempt to cure the deficiencies identified in the Order. The
amended complaint, if any, must be filed within 30 days of the date
of this Order.

Judge Orrick denies the motion to strike the class allegations.
Whether or not the types of claims that remain after the pleadings
are settled are certifiable -- in whole or in part, for damages
under Rule 23(b)(3) or for resolution of common issues under Rule
23(b)(1) or (b)(2) -- is better determined at the class
certification stage and not at the motion to dismiss stage, Judge
Orrick explains. At this juncture, precluding the possibility of
resolution of issues or claims through a class action is
premature.

The Court defers ruling on DeviantArt's special motion to strike.
When the Plaintiffs reallege the right to publicity claim, then
DeviantArt may renew its special motion to strike, and the Court
will consider that motion on the merits at that juncture.

6:23-cv-06636 (W.D.N.Y., November 6, 2023) alleges violations of

information which identifies a person as having requested or
obtained specific video materials or services from a video tape
provider, without their express consent to the disclosures in a
standalone consent form. Through the use of analytics tools,

TALKSPACE INC: Attys.' Fees & Expenses Awarded in Securities Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Paul G. Gardephe of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York grants the motion by Lead Counsel for an award
of attorneys' fees and expenses, and awards to the Plaintiffs in
the lawsuit entitled IN RE TALKSPACE, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION,
Case No. 1:22-cv-00163-PGG (S.D.N.Y.).

Judge Gardephe notes that this Order incorporates by reference the
definitions in the Stipulation of Settlement dated May 19, 2023
(the "Stipulation"), and all capitalized terms used, but not
defined herein, will have the same meanings as set forth in the
Stipulation.

Notice of Lead Counsel's Fee Motion was given to all Class Members,
who could be located with reasonable effort.

Judge Gardephe holds that the form and method of notifying the
Class of the Fee Motion met the requirements of Rule 23 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (15 U.S.C. Section 78u-4(a)(7)), due process, and any other
applicable law, constituted the best notice practicable under the
circumstances, and constituted due and sufficient notice to all
persons and entities entitled thereto.

The Court awards Lead Counsel attorneys' fees of 30% of the
Settlement Amount, plus expenses in the amount of $20,891.65,
together with the interest earned on both amounts for the same time
period and at the same rate as that earned on the Settlement Fund
until paid. The Court finds that the amount of fees awarded is
fair, reasonable, and appropriate under the
"percentage-of—recovery" method.

The awarded attorneys' fees and expenses, and interest earned
thereon, will be paid to Lead Counsel immediately upon execution of
the Final Judgment and this Order.

In making this award of fees and expenses to Lead Counsel, the
Court has considered and found that the Settlement has created a
fund of $8,500,000 in cash that is already on deposit, and numerous
Class Members who submit, or have submitted, valid Proof of Claim
and Release forms will benefit from the Settlement created by Lead
Counsel. The Court also found, among other things, that the
attorneys' fees and expenses awarded are fair and reasonable.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 78u-4(a)(4), the Court awards $5,000
to Lead Plaintiff Ivan M. Baron and $5,000 to Lead Plaintiff Steven
Jacob Greenblatt for the time they spent directly related to their
representation of the Class.

Any appeal or any challenge affecting this Court's approval
regarding the Fee Motion will in no way disturb or affect the
finality of the Judgment entered with respect to the Settlement.

In the event that the Settlement is terminated or does not become
Final or the Effective Date does not occur in accordance with the
terms of the Stipulation, this Order will be rendered null and void
to the extent provided in the Stipulation and will be vacated in
accordance with the Stipulation.

TALKSPACE INC: Court Approves Plan of Allocation in Securities Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Paul G. Gardephe of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York issued an order approving the Plan of
Allocation in the lawsuit titled IN RE TALKSPACE, INC. SECURITIES
LITIGATION, Case No. 1:22-cv-00163-PGG (S.D.N.Y.).

Judge Gardephe notes that this Order incorporates by reference the
definitions in the Stipulation of Settlement dated May 19, 2023,
and all capitalized terms used, but not defined here, will have
the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation.

Pursuant to and in full compliance with Rule 23 of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds and concludes that due
and adequate notice was directed to all persons, who are Class
Members, who could be identified with reasonable effort, advising
them of the Plan of Allocation and of their right to object
thereto, and a full and fair opportunity was accorded to all
persons and entities, who are Class Members to be heard with
respect to the Plan of Allocation.

The Court finds and concludes that the formula for the calculation
of the claims of Authorized Claimants, which is set forth in the
Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Actions sent to
Class Members provides a fair and reasonable basis upon which to
allocate the proceeds of the Net Settlement Fund established
pursuant to the Stipulation among the Class Members, with due
consideration having been given to administrative convenience and
necessity.

The Court also finds and concludes that the Plan of Allocation, as
set forth in the Notice, is, in all respects, fair and reasonable
and the Court approves the Plan of Allocation.

TARGET CORPORATION: Davis Must Submit Expert Report by Jan. 5, 2024
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as TIMOTHY DAVIS, on behalf
of himself and others similarly situated, v. TARGET CORPORATION,
Case No. 2:23-cv-00089-JFM (E.D. Pa.), the Hon. Judge John F.
Murphy entered an order extending class certification deadlines:

  a. The Plaintiff shall submit any affirmative expert report no
later
     than January 5, 2024.

  b. Responsive expert reports, if any, shall be served no later
than
     January 26, 2024(which coincides with the current fact
discovery
     deadline in the case).

On March 28, 2023, the Court issued an Order directing Plaintiff to
file his motion for class certification no later than August 4,
2023, and requiring disclosure of any affirmative expert reports to
be used in support of class certification no later than June 9,
2023 with any responsive reports due July 7, 2023; and affirmative
expert reports on any other issues no later than December 1, 2023
with any responsive reports served no later than December 22, 2023.


On July 20, 2023, the Court granted the Parties' stipulation to
extend the time for Plaintiff to file his motion for class
certification to October 4, 2023 with any response due no later
than October 18, 2023.

On September 13, 2023, Plaintiff served a Request for Entry
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a)(2), requesting that Defendant
permit Plaintiff's counsel and their proposed expert, Robert G.
Radwin, Ph. D., to enter Defendant's Chambersburg facility so that
Dr. Radwin can conduct measurements for purposes of estimating the
amounts of time spent by putative class members in alleged pre- and
post-shift walking within the facility.

On October 13, 2023, Defendant served objections to Plaintiff's
Request for Entry. Plaintiff promptly requested to confer about
Defendant's objections, and the Parties subsequently conferred on
October 23, 2023.

TEACHERS INSURANCE: Fails to Safeguard Customers' Info, Uhrich Says
-------------------------------------------------------------------
KATHARINE UHRICH v. TEACHERS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY ASSOCIATION OF
AMERICA (TIAA), Case No. 1:23-cv-08688-LAK (N.D. Ill., Oct. 3,
2023) is a class action against the Defendant for failing to
safeguard the personally identifiable information of the Plaintiff
and numerous other individuals from a data vulnerability and breach
incident.

The Plaintiff contends that TIAA failed to implement or maintain
adequate data security measures for personal information directly
and proximately caused injuries to the Plaintiff and the Class.
Despite numerous and high-profile data breaches, TIAA failed to
implement basic security measures to prevent unauthorized access to
this information.

On July 14, 2023, the Defendant announced that it had previously,
on May 31, 2023, suffered a data breach that impacted millions of
individual.

As a direct and proximate consequence of TIAA's negligence, a
massive amount of customer information was stolen from TIAA.
Victims of the Data Breach have had their Private Information
compromised, had their privacy rights violated, been exposed to the
increased risk of fraud and identify theft, lost control over their
personal and financial information, and otherwise been injured, the
lawsuit claims.

As a result of TIAA's failure to properly and timely notify their
customers of the full extent of the data breach, members of the
class have not had the opportunity to fully protect themselves and
take any specific precautions, says the lawsuit.

The Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit on behalf of those
similarly situated to address TIAA's inadequate safeguarding of
Class Members' Private Information that they collected and
maintained, and for failing to provide timely and adequate notice
to Plaintiff and other Class Members that their information had
been subject to the unauthorized access of an unknown third party.

Ms. Uhrich was a resident and citizen of Illinois. She provided the
Defendant with her personal information in order to create and
maintain an account with Defendant.

TIAA is a New York based insurance and financial service company
that operates in all 50 states, including the state of
Illinois.[BN]

TELADOC HEALTH: Consolidated Shareholder Suit Dismissed
-------------------------------------------------------
Teladoc Health, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2023, that on
July 5, 2023, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss a
consolidated case captioned "In re Teladoc Health, Inc. Securities
Litigation."

On June 6, 2022, a purported securities class action complaint
captioned "Schneider v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et. al." was filed in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
against the company and certain of the company's officers. The
complaint was brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of
all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares
of the company's common stock during the period October 28, 2021
through April 27, 2022.

The complaint asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder based on allegedly false or misleading statements and
omissions with respect to, among other things, the company's
business, operations, and prospects. The complaint seeks
certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory
damages plus interest and attorneys' fees. The Schneider action was
eventually consolidated under "In re Teladoc Health, Inc.
Securities Litigation."

On August 23, 2022, the court appointed Leadersel Innotech ESG as
lead plaintiff pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on
September 30, 2022, on behalf of a purported class consisting of
all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares
of the company's common stock during the period February 24, 2021
to July 27, 2022, and filed a second amended complaint on December
6, 2022, on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons
or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the
company's common stock during the period February 11, 2021 to July
27, 2022.

Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is into
virtual healthcare with principal executive office located in
Purchase, New York.


TELADOC HEALTH: Shareholder Suit Over Merger Deal Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------------
Teladoc Health, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2023, that on
August 23, 2023, the U.S. Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois
granted the defendants' motion to dismiss a purported securities
class action complaint captioned "City of Hialeah Employees'
Retirement System v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et.al.," filed in said
court on August 27, 2021, against the company and certain of the
company's current and former officers and directors.

The complaint was brought on behalf of a purported class consisting
of all persons who acquired shares of Teladoc Health common stock
issued in the company's 2020 merger with Livongo Health, Inc.

The complaint asserted violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15
of the Securities Act based on allegedly false or misleading
statements and omissions with respect to the registration statement
and prospectus filed in connection with the Livongo merger. The
complaint sought certification as a class action, unspecified
compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys' fees, rescission
or a rescissory measure of damages and equitable or other relief.

On January 18, 2022, the case was voluntarily dismissed without
prejudice in the Circuit court of Cook County, Illinois and on
January 26, 2022, was refiled in the Supreme court of the State of
New York. The refiled case includes substantially the same
allegations.

Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is into
virtual healthcare with principal executive office located in
Purchase, New York.


TK&K SERVICES: E.D. California Directs Clerk to Close Palma Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker of the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of California directs the Clerk of Court
to close the lawsuit styled JOSUE PALMA, individually and on behalf
of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. TK&K SERVICES,
Defendant, Case No. 1:23-cv-00434-JLT-CDB (E.D. Cal.).

On July 24, 2023, Plaintiff Josue Palma filed the operative, first
amended complaint in which he asserts claims on behalf of himself
and a putative class against Defendant TK&K Services. The Defendant
filed an answer to the first amended complaint on Aug. 7, 2023.

Pending before the Court is the Plaintiff's stipulation for
dismissal. The parties stipulate to dismiss the Plaintiff's
individual claims with prejudice and the putative class members'
claims without prejudice.

As the parties' stipulation of dismissal comports with the
requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii), Judge Baker notes
that the Plaintiff is entitled to dismiss his individual claims (at
least) without court order. In a class action, however, court
approval of dismissal may be required under Rule 41(a)(2) if the
class has been certified.

In this case, the parties jointly seek to dismiss the putative
class claims under Rule 41(a)(1) without prejudice. No class has
been certified, the Plaintiff has not sought certification, nor has
certification been proposed for purposes of settlement.

Because no class has been certified in this case, and because any
dismissal would not affect putative class members' claims, Rule
23(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure does not mandate
either Court approval of the parties' settlement or notice to
putative class members, Judge Baker opines.

In light of the parties' filing that is consistent with Rule
41(a)(1)(A)(ii) and the Court's finding that under the
circumstances, Rule 23(e) does not require Court approval of the
dismissal, Judge Baker holds that this action has been terminated
by operation of law without further order of the Court.

Accordingly, Judge Baker directs the Clerk of the Court to close
the file in this case and adjust the docket to reflect voluntary
dismissal of this action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii).

TRANSPERFECT TRANSLATIONS: Partial OK of Class Cert Bid Endorsed
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MICHELE METCALF and HANNAH
LAWSON, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, v. TRANSPERFECT TRANSLATIONS INTERNATIONAL INC., Case No.
1:19-cv-10104-ER-KHP (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Katharine H. Parker
entered an order recommending that the motion for class
certification be granted in part and denied in part.

Specifically, Judge Parker recommends that the following class be
certified:

   "All TransPerfect salaried employees in New York City who were
   paid $1,125.00 per week or less during the Relevant Period who
did
   not sign Arbitration Agreements."

Judge Parker further recommend that should the Court adopt this
recommendation, the parties be required to meet and confer about
the proposed Notice to the Class and submit it to the Court for
approval within fourteen days after any decision adopting this
recommendation.

The Plaintiffs Michele Metcalf and Hannah Lawson bring this
putative class action under the New York Labor Law ("NYLL") on the
grounds that Defendant TransPerfect Translations International Inc.
failed to pay them and other similarly situated employees overtime
pay between December 31, 2018, and September 2019 and failed to
provide them with accurate wage statements.

They now move for certification of a class pursuant to Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 23. The proposed class would consist of all
TransPerfect salaried employees in New York City who were paid
$1,125.00 per week or less during the Relevant Period and were not
paid overtime for all hours worked over forty in a work week.

The Plaintiffs Metcalf and Lawson Metcalf worked for TransPerfect
in New York City as a Senior Client Services Executive in the
Production Department for a portion of the Relevant Period for a
salary of $1,076.92 per week, or $56,000 per year.

TransPerfect provides language services and technology solutions.

TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS: Witriol Sues Over Unfair Debt Collection
------------------------------------------------------------
RIVKE WITRIOL, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC., Defendant, Case No.
532184/2023 (N.Y. Sup., Kings Cty., Nov. 2, 2023) is a class action
brought by the Plaintiff, on behalf of a class of New York
consumers, seeking damages and declaratory relief under the Fair
Debt Collection Practices Act.

Some time prior to April 27, 2023, the Plaintiff allegedly incurred
an obligation to Boro Park OB GYN PC, the original creditor. The
subject obligation arose from alleged medical services provided by
Boro Park OB GYN PC in which money, property, insurance or
services, which are the subject of the transaction, were incurred
solely for personal purposes, specifically medical care for the
Plaintiff. Boro Park OB GYN PC contracted the Defendant for the
purpose of debt collection of defaulted debts associated with
Plaintiff's account.

According to the complaint, the Defendant violated the law by
deceptively and/or misleadingly providing multiple addresses and
not identifying which one to use for disputing a debt or sending a
payment.

UCOR LLC: Speer Bid for Class Certification Tossed
---------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as CARLTON SPEER, MALENA
DENNIS, and ZACHARIAH DUNCAN, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, v. UCOR LLC, Case No.
3:22-cv-00426-TRM-JEM (E.D. Tenn.), the Hon. Judge Travis R.
McDonough entered an order denying the Plaintiffs' motion for class
certification.

The Plaintiffs assert that a class action "would achieve economies
of time, effort, and expense, and promote uniformity."

However, Plaintiffs have presented no evidence to the Court as to
why this is the case. Given the number of individualized inquiries
necessary to resolve each Plaintiff's claim, a class action would
quickly devolve into a series of individual claims. Furthermore,
given that Plaintiffs allege that they have suffered serious
injuries and are seeking significant damages, it is certainly worth
a plaintiff's time and effort to bring suit on his own.

UCOR is a business that provides nuclear and environmental cleanup

services at the East Tennessee Technology Park, the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, and the Y12 National Security Complex.

On August 26, 2021, Defendant announced that it would require all
its employees and subcontracted employees to be fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 by November 1, 2021.

The Plaintiffs seek to certify a class consisting of:

   "All employees, staff augmentation employees, and subcontractors

   who (i) were subject to UCOR's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, (ii)
who
   submitted an accommodation/exemption request based on their
   sincerely held religious belief opposing the receipt of the

UNITED ELECTRICAL: Bid to Decertify Heeg Collective Action Nixed
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as TRAVIS HEEG, et al., v.
UNITED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS, INC., Case No. 1:21-cv-00796-HYJ-RSK
(W.D. Mich.), the Hon. Judge Hala Y. Jarbou entered an order
denying UEC's motion to "decertify" the collective action.

The Court will grant in part and deny in part Plaintiffs' renewed
motion to amend or clarify the scope of the class. The Court will
allow Plaintiffs to send notice to individuals employed by UEC as
laborers, and who were deprived of overtime for hours worked in
excess of 40 hours a week over the course of the three years before
Plaintiffs filed their complaint.

The Court will not expand the class to include events occurring
after the date of the complaint.

Finally, there is no genuine dispute of fact regarding the dates on
which Opt-In Plaintiffs were employed or when UEC worked on
particular job sites.

UEC argues that it will be prejudiced by allowing Plaintiffs to
bring laborers into the class at this late stage of the case.
However, UEC is responsible for much of that prejudice. Instead of
resolving a debatable issue through motion practice, it attempted
to foreclose the issue through discovery.

The Plaintiffs are electrical workers formerly employed by UEC,
based in Lansing, Michigan. They brought this action asserting
violations by UEC of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

In their complaint, the Plaintiffs assert five violations of the
FLSA:

    (1) unpaid shop time and travel time;

    (2) undercompensated overtime pay due to a "per diem" policy;

    (3) unpaid training;

    (4) unpaid print review; and

    (5) unpaid apprenticeship training.

UEC, which has offices in Lansing and Livonia, Michigan, is an
electrical contractor that works on construction sites throughout
the State of Michigan.

UNITED STATES: Settlement in Padilla v. ICE Has Prelim. Approval
----------------------------------------------------------------
Senior District Judge Marsha Pechman of the U.S. District Court for
the Western District of Washington, Seattle, grants preliminary
approval to the parties' class action settlement in the lawsuit
entitled YOLANY PADILLA, et al., Plaintiffs-Petitioners v. U.S.
IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, et al.,
Defendants-Respondents, Case No. 2:18-cv-00928-MJP (W.D. Wash.).

The Court finds that the Credible Fear Class Settlement Agreement
is sufficiently fair, reasonable, and adequate to allow
dissemination of notice of the Agreement to the Credible Fear Class
and to hold a Fairness Hearing; orders the Class Notice to be sent
to the Credible Fear Class in accordance with the Agreement and
this Order; and schedules a Fairness Hearing to determine whether
the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable.

The Court preliminarily approves the Agreement, provisionally
finding that the terms of the Agreement are fair, reasonable, and
adequate as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e)(2), and within the
range of possible approval and sufficient to warrant providing
notice to the Credible Fear Class.

The Court previously certified the Credible Fear Class as "All
detained asylum seekers in the United States subject to expedited
removal proceedings under 8 U.S.C. Section 1225(b) who are not
provided a credible fear determination within ten days of the later
of (1) requesting asylum or expressing a fear of persecution to a
DHS official or (2) the conclusion of any criminal proceeding
related to the circumstances of their entry, absent a request by
the asylum seeker for a delayed credible fear interview." This is
also the class for settlement purposes.

Judge Pechman finds that the proposed Credible Fear Class Notice
and the proposed plan of distribution of the Class Notice meet the
requirements of Rule 23(e)(1) and directs Class Counsel to proceed
with the notice distribution in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. In so doing, the Court approves the procedures set forth
in Section XI.B of the Agreement and the Notice of Settlement of
Class Action for objections to the settlement.

Any Class Member, who wishes to object to the Agreement, must do so
within 67 days of this Order. Notice must be effectuated within
seven days of this order.

The Court directs that a hearing be scheduled on Jan. 5, 2024, at
10:00 a.m. (the "Fairness Hearing"). The Plaintiffs will file a
motion for final approval of the settlement no later than 14 days
before the Fairness Hearing.

The Agreement provides that the Defendants will pay the Plaintiffs
the amount of $100,000 in attorneys' fees and costs. The Court
preliminarily finds that the provisions for payment of attorneys'
fees and costs are reasonable.

Neither the settlement, nor any exhibit, document, or instrument
delivered thereunder will be construed as or deemed to be evidence
of an admission or concession by the Defendants or an
interpretation of any liability or wrongdoing by the Defendants, or
of the truth of any allegations asserted by the Plaintiffs, Class
Members, or any other person.

If the Agreement is not finally approved, or the Effective Date
does not occur, or the settlement is terminated under its terms,
then (a) all parties will proceed as if the Agreement (except those
provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive disapproval or
termination of the settlement) had not been executed and the
related orders and judgment had not been entered, preserving in
that event all of their respective claims and defenses in the
action; and (b) all releases given will be null and void. In such
an event, this Court's orders regarding the Agreement, including
this Preliminary Approval Order, will not be used or referred to in
litigation for any purpose.

Judge Pechman grants the Parties' Joint Motion for Preliminary
Approval of Proposed Class Settlement ("Motion"). The Court
preliminarily approves the proposed class-wide relief set forth in
the Agreement (attached to the Joint Motion), approves the proposed
form and plan of notice (addressed in the Agreement), and schedules
the Fairness Hearing.

The class action lawsuit captioned as SUSAN ALLCOCK, on behalf of
herself and all those similarly situated v. VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
and VALLEY NATIONAL BANK d/b/a VALLEY BANK, Case No.
MID-L-004895-23 (Filed Aug. 30, 2023) was removed from Superior
Court of the State of New Jersey to the District Court of New
Jersey on Oct. 4, 2023.

The New Jersey District Court Clerk assigned Case No.
2:23-cv-20900-ES-ESK to the proceeding.

The suit alleges that the Plaintiff and the Class Members have been
damaged due to unauthorized access to their personally identifying
information held by the Defendants.

On behalf of herself and the Class Members, the Plaintiff purports
to bring "claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of
fiduciary duty, breach of an implied contract, unjust enrichment,
and declaratory judgment, seeking actual and punitive damages, with
attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses, and appropriate injunctive
and declaratory relief."

The Plaintiff is a citizen of the state of Maryland.

VIRGIN AMERICA: Allocation Plan, Atty's Fees & Expenses OK'd
------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JULIA BERNSTEIN, et al.,
v. VIRGIN AMERICA, INC., et al., Case No. 4:15-cv-02277-JST (N.D.
Cal.), the Hon. Judge Jon S. Tigar entered an order granting the
plaintiffs' unopposed motion to approve the plan of allocation,
Attorney's fees and expenses, and service awards to class
representatives.

Similar considerations favor an award in excess of $5,000 for each
of the three Class Representatives. The Class Representatives have
expended substantial time and effort pursuing this litigation over
a span of nearly eight years. They worked with counsel to pull
documents, gather case-related information, respond to discovery,
attend phone and in-person meetings, discuss strategy, attend
mediation and other court proceedings, attend their depositions,
read case-related filings, and communicate with class members about
the status of the case.

In connection with the case, Bernstein spent approximately 150
hours, Garcia spent approximately 130 hours, and Smith spent over
500 hours. The Class Representatives' efforts have also benefitted
a class of approximately 1,869 members, and resulted in a sizable
judgment of $31,637,391.85, which represents 100% of the losses
incurred by class members as to the successful claims.

The average pro rata distribution of that judgment is approximately
$8,900, and 20% of the class will receive distributions that exceed
$15,000.

Accordingly, the Court approves service awards of $25,000 for
Smith, $12,000 for Bernstein, and $12,000 for Garcia.

Virgin America was a low-cost airline in the United States that
operated from 2004 until 2018 when it merged with Alaska Airlines.

VISA INC: Bid for En Banc Rehearing on Access Fee Suit Tossed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Visa Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly
period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 15, 2023, that the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia denied the petition of the
defendants for a rehearing en banc on the U.S. ATM access fee class
suit.

National ATM Council Class Action. In October 2011, the National
ATM Council and thirteen non-bank ATM operators filed a purported
class action lawsuit against Visa (Visa Inc., Visa International,
Visa U.S.A. and Plus System, Inc.) and Mastercard in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia.

The complaint challenges Visa's rule (and a similar Mastercard
rule) that if an ATM operator chooses to charge consumers an access
fee for a Visa or Plus transaction, that fee cannot be greater than
the access fee charged for transactions on other networks.

Plaintiffs claim that the rule violates Section 1 of the Sherman
Act and seek treble damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys'
fees.

On August 4, 2021, the district court granted plaintiffs' motion
for class certification.

On July 25, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia affirmed the district court's class certification
decision, and on September 27, 2023, defendants' petition for
rehearing en banc was denied.

VISA INC: Court Junks Plaintiffs' Bid to Remand Suit to State Court
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Visa Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly
period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 15, 2023, that the court granted
the motion of defendants on November 14, 2023 to dismiss the appeal
of plaintiffs to remand the consumer interchange class suit to
California state court.

On December 30, 2022, a putative class action was filed in
California state court against Visa, Mastercard, and certain
financial institutions on behalf of all Visa and Mastercard
cardholders in California who made a purchase using a Visa-branded
or Mastercard-branded payment card in California from January 1,
2004. Plaintiffs primarily allege a conspiracy to fix interchange
fees and seek injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and damages as
direct and indirect purchasers based on alleged violations of
California law.

On January 11, 2023, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint
asserting the same claims as asserted in the prior complaint.

On January 30, 2023, Visa removed the action to federal court, and
the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation subsequently issued
an order transferring the case to MDL 1720.

On June 15, 2023, plaintiffs' motion to remand the case to
California state court was denied, and plaintiffs appealed.

On July 28, 2023, defendants filed a motion to dismiss that appeal,
which was granted on November 14, 2023.

WALT DISNEY: Court Narrows Claims in James Suit
-----------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as AMIN JAMES, et al., v. THE
WALT DISNEY COMPANY, Case No. 3:23-cv-02500-EMC (N.D. Cal.), the
Hon. Judge Edward M. Chen entered an order granting in part and
denying in part the Defendant's motion to dismiss:

-- The Court denies the motion to dismiss for lack of standing.

-- However, it dismisses or strikes the nationwide class, which
    leaves Plaintiffs with a putative California class and a
putative
    Pennsylvania class.

-- Finally, the Court grants in part and denies in part the motion
to
    dismiss for failure to state a claim for relief.

-- The Plaintiffs have sufficiently pled its statutory claims,
except
    to the extent they seek to hold Disney liable for Oracle's
alleged
    interception of information for the use of non-Disney clients.


-- Plaintiffs have leave to amend to cure this deficiency, if they

    can do so in good faith. Because the Court is giving Plaintiffs

    leave to amend here, it shall also permit Plaintiffs to provide

    more information about the mouse clicks and keystrokes
allegedly
    intercepted (i.e., to show that personal, non-record
information
    was collected).

The Plaintiffs Amin James and David Sevesind have filed a class
action against the Walt Disney.

In their complaint, Plaintiffs allege as follows.

Disney is a company that owns and operates the website ESPN.com.
See Compl. Embedded on the ESPN.com website is Oracle software, in
particular, a tool known as Oracle BlueKai which is part of a line
of products known as Oracle CX.

BlueKai intercepts and collects website visitors' electronic
communications with the website. The data collected is used to
market to and attract new customers for Disney.

WARNER BROS: Continues to Defend Collinsville Class Suit
--------------------------------------------------------
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for
the quarterly period ending in September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Collinsville Police
Pension class suit in United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York.

Between September 23, 2022 and October 24, 2022, two purported
class action lawsuits (Collinsville Police Pension Board v.
Discovery, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-08171; Todorovski v.
Discovery, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-09125) were filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.


The complaints named Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., Discovery, Inc.,
David Zaslav, and Gunnar Wiedenfels as defendants.

The complaints generally alleged that the defendants made false and
misleading statements in SEC filings and in certain public
statements relating to the Merger, in violation of Sections 11,
12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
sought damages and other relief.

On November 4, 2022, the court consolidated the Collinsville and
Todorovski complaints under case number 1:22-CV-8171, and on
December 12, 2022, the court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead
counsel.

On February 15, 2023, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint adding Advance/Newhouse Partnership and Advance/Newhouse
Programming Partnership (collectively, "Advance/Newhouse"), Steven
A. Miron, Robert J. Miron, and Steven O. Newhouse as defendants.

The amended complaint continues to assert violations of Sections
11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
seeks damages and other relief.

On April 7, 2023, defendants moved to dismiss the amended
complaint.

The Company intends to vigorously defend these litigations.

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. is a premier global media and
entertainment company that combines the WarnerMedia Business's
premium entertainment, sports and news assets with Discovery's
leading non-fiction and international entertainment and sports
businesses, thus offering audiences a differentiated portfolio of

and gaming.

WELLS FARGO: Bid to Vacate Deadline to Move Class Cert. Sought
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as SEB INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
AB, and WEST PALM BEACH FIREFIGHTERS' PENSION FUND, Individually
and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. WELLS FARGO &
COMPANY, CHARLES W. SCHARF, KLEBER R. SANTOS, and CARLY SANCHEZ,
Case No. 3:22-cv-03811-TLT (N.D. Cal.), the Plaintiffs ask the
Court to enter an granting their administrative motion to vacate
the deadline to move for class certification:

Moreover, although the Court set a Further Case Management
Conference for February 22, 2024, to discuss the amended case
schedule proposed in the parties' Stipulation Modifying the
Scheduling Order, that conference will not take place until after
class certification briefing is fully completed and a hearing on
the class certification motion is held under the current deadlines
in the Scheduling Order.

The Plaintiffs thus request that the Court vacate the deadline for
Plaintiffs to file their motion for class certification so that the
parties are not required to brief class certification while
discovery is stayed.

On March 13, 2023, the Court issued a Case Management and
Scheduling Order which set deadlines for the case, including a
deadline for Plaintiffs to file their motion for class
certification that was approximately three months after the
Court’s hearing on Defendants' motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’
Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws.

In particular, the Court set a deadline of November 13, 2023, for
Plaintiffs to file a motion for class certification, a deadline of
December 18, 2023, for an opposition, a deadline of January 8,
2024, for a reply, and a hearing on the class certification motion
for February 8, 2024.

On August 18, 2023, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to
dismiss without prejudice and provided Plaintiffs leave to amend
within 21 days of the Court’s order.

On October 23, 2023, Defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss the
Amended Complaint. On November 1, 2023, the parties submitted a
Stipulation and Proposed Order Modifying Case Management Scheduling
Order, which proposed an amended schedule through trial
substantially similar to the amended schedule proposed as part of
the parties’ Case Management Statement.

On November 2, 2023, the Court set a Further Case Management
Conference for February 22, 2024, to discuss the parties’
Stipulation Modifying the Scheduling Order. ECF No. 125. The date
for that Further Case Management Conference, however, postdates the
current deadline for Plaintiffs to move for class certification.

WELLS FARGO: Court OK's $1B Settlement in Securities Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo & Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2023, that on
September 8, 2023, the court granted final approval of an agreement
pursuant to which the company paid $1.0 billion to resolve this
action with regards to allegations related to the company's efforts
to comply with three consent orders that are subjects of
shareholder derivative lawsuits filed in California state and
federal court.

Wells Fargo shareholders brought a putative securities fraud class
action in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York alleging that the company and certain of its
current and former executive officers and directors made false or
misleading statements regarding the company's efforts to comply
with the February 2018 consent order with the Federal Reserve Board
and the April 2018 consent orders with the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Wells Fargo & Company is a financial services company and is a
leading middle market banking provider in the U.S. It provides a
diversified set of banking, investment and mortgage products and
services, as well as consumer and commercial finance, through our
four reportable operating segments namely consumer banking and
lending, commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, and

WELLS FARGO: Court OK's $300MM Settlement in Fraud Class Action
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo & Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2023, that on
September 26, 2023, the court granted final approval of an
agreement pursuant to which the company paid $300 million to
resolve a putative securities fraud class action against the
company and its executive officers alleging material misstatements
and omissions of information related to collateral protection
insurance (CPI) in the company's public disclosures.

On April 20, 2018, the company entered into consent orders with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to resolve, among other things,
investigations by the agencies into the company's compliance risk
management program and its past practices involving certain
automobile CPI policies and certain mortgage interest rate lock
extensions.

In January 2020, the court dismissed this action as to all
defendants except the company and a former executive officer and
limited the action to two alleged misstatements.

WESTERN FLYER: Class Settlement in Beissel Suit Gets Final Nod
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ANDREW BEISSEL, an
individual, J&B ENTERPRISES, INC., a Colorado Corporation,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v.
WESTERN FLYER EXPRESS, LLC, Case No. 5:21-cv-00903-R (W.D. Okla.),
the Hon. Judge David L. Russell entered an order granting the
