ABBOTT LABORATORIES: Bates Appeals Class Suit Dismissal to 2nd Cir.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
LARISSA BATES is taking an appeal from a court order dismissing her
lawsuit entitled Larissa Bates, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Abbott Laboratories,
Defendant, Case No. 1:23-cv-387, in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of New York.

The Plaintiff brings this complaint against the Defendant for
misrepresentation and other consumer-related false claims of its
Ensure-brand nutrition drinks.

On June 5, 2023, the Defendant filed a motion to dismiss for
failure to state a claim, which the Court granted through an Order
entered by Judge Frederick J. Scullin, Jr. on Mar. 29, 2024.

The Court found that the Plaintiff cannot allege an injury in the
future since she now has all the information she needs about the
health effects of the products in question. The Plaintiff, thus,
will not be misled by the labels or advertising. Therefore, the
Court granted the Defendant's motion to dismiss the Plaintiff's
claim for injunctive relief because she lacks standing to bring
such a claim.

The appellate case is captioned Bates v. Abbott Laboratories, Case
No. 24-919, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit, filed on April 10, 2024. [BN]

Plaintiff-Appellant LARISSA BATES, on behalf of herself and all
others similarly situated, is represented by:

motion
      is Aug. 7, 2024.

   3. The interim deadline for Plaintiffs' reply brief is Oct. 7,

this matter, including the appropriate schedule for briefing class

ARCARE INC: Appeals Denied Bid to Dismiss Hale Suit to 8th Cir.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ARCARE, INC. is taking an appeal from a court order denying its
motion to substitute the United States or, in the alternative, to
dismiss the lawsuit entitled Greg Hale, et al., individually and on
behalf of and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. ARcare,
Inc., Defendants, Case No. 3:22-cv-00117-BSM, in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

The case arises from the Defendant's failure to secure the
confidential health information of the Plaintiffs and similarly
situated patients following a data breach of its computer system.

On July 11, 2023, the Defendant filed a motion to stay.

On July 26, 2023, the Defendant filed a motion to substitute the
United States as party to the case, or, in the alternative, to
dismiss the case, which the Court denied through an Order entered
by Judge Brian S. Miller on Mar. 8, 2024.

The Court concluded that ARcare's failure to use reasonable
security procedures and practices appropriate to sensitive,
unencrypted information, as alleged in the complaint, is not a
related function sufficient to confer immunity under section
233(a). Therefore, section 233(a) immunity does not apply. Because
ARcare is not immune from suit, ARcare's alternative request to
dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which is
premised on immunity, is denied and its motion to stay is moot.

The appellate case is captioned Greg Hale, et al. v. ARcare, Inc.,
Case No. 24-1726, in the United States Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit, filed on April 8, 2024.

The briefing schedule in the Appellate Case states that:

   -- Transcript is due on or before May 20, 2024;

   -- Appendix is due on May 29, 2024;

   -- Appellant ARcare Inc.'s brief is due on May 29, 2024; and

   -- Appellee's brief is due 30 days from the date the court
issues the Notice of Docket Activity filing the brief of appellant.

BROCK PIERCE: Rowan Renewed Bid for Class Certification Tossed
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as NATHAN ROWAN, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. BROCK PIERCE,
Case No. 3:20-cv-01648-RAM-MEL (D.P.R.), the Hon. Judge Raul M.
Arias-Marxuach entered an order granting Plaintiff's motion to
strike from the record the Kalat Declaration and denying
Plaintiff's renewed motion for class certification.

On Nov. 16, 2020, Rowan filed a Complaint against former
independent presidential candidate Brock Pierce. Subsequently,
Rowan filed an Amended Complaint on July 12, 2021. The Plaintiff
claims Pierce violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
("TCPA"), by sending pre-recorded messages to promote his campaign
to consumers' phone numbers, including the Plaintiff's, without
their consent.

The Plaintiff has already proposed and discarded at least two
different class definitions. He proposes a third, yet is still not
Plaintiff's final proposal. In his Reply, Plaintiff states that he
"would not object to modifying the class definition" to contain
only persons for whom the Plaintiff has obtained call records.

Accordingly, in light of Plaintiff's statement of non-objection,
and given that it is unlikely that he could prove injury to members
other than those for whom he has call records, the Court will
construe the Motion as seeking certification of a smaller class:

     "All persons in the United States who (1) were called one or
more
     times (2) from Oct. 28, 2020 to Nov. 3, 2020 (3) from
telephone
     number (206) 201-0668, (208) 644-8751, (307) 228-7780, (385)
331-
     1930, (651) 360-1815, or (845) 447-9504 (4) on their cellular

     telephone number (5) using a pre-recorded voice message, (6)
     whose cellular telephone number appears in records purchased
from
     Aristotle, and (7) who were AT&T subscribers at the time of
the
     calls."

BUILDING INDUSTRY: Cudjoe Appeals Suit Dismissal to 2nd Circuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
MARTIN CUDJOE is taking an appeal from a court order dismissing his
lawsuit entitled Martin Cudjoe, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Building Industry
Electrical Contractors Association, et al., Defendants, Case No.
2:21-cv-5084, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of New York.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Plaintiff
alleges in the complaint that the Defendants have completely and
utterly disregarded this critical rule to the significant detriment
of the participants and beneficiaries of the Benefit Funds and
members of United Service Workers Union, IUJAT, Local 363 ("Local
363" or the "Union"), participants in those funds. The Defendant
Benefit Funds were established and have continued to operate solely
with employer-side trustees appointed by an employer organization
and without any trustees appointed by the Union, says the suit.

On Jan. 11, 2023, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for
failure to state a claim and for lack of jurisdiction, which the
Court granted through an Order entered by Judge Diane Gujarati on
Feb. 28, 2024.

The Court held that the Plaintiff has failed to establish that he
has standing to bring any of his claims against any Defendant.
Therefore, the case is dismissed in its entirety, without
prejudice.

CAPITAL ONE: Wright Appeals Suit Dismissal to 4th Circuit
---------------------------------------------------------
EMILY WRIGHT, et al. are taking an appeal from a court order
dismissing their lawsuit entitled Emily Wright, et al., on behalf
of themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v.
Capital One Bank (USA), NA, et al., Defendants, Case No.
1:21-cv-00803-PTG-IDD, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia.

On July 9, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a complaint against the
Defendants.

On Oct. 6, 2022, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which
the Defendants moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim.

On July 31, 2023, the Plaintiffs filed second amended complaint
(SAC). The SAC asserts several claims: (1) breach of contract on
behalf of all Plaintiffs and the Proposed Nationwide Class; (2)
unjust enrichment/quasi-contract on behalf of all Plaintiffs, the
Proposed Nationwide Class, and all State Classes; (3) breach of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing on behalf of all
Plaintiffs and the Proposed Nationwide Class; and (4) violations of
state consumer protection laws in Massachusetts, North Carolina,
Washington, and New Jersey.

On Aug. 22, 2023, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the SAC,
which the Court granted through an Order entered by Judge Patricia
Tolliver Giles on Mar. 4, 2024.

The Court ruled that the Plaintiffs fail to state a claim upon
which relief may be granted. Therefore, the Defendants' motion to
dismiss is granted and all claims were dismissed.

GEORGES MEDIA: Richard Appeals Arbitration Ruling to 5th Circuit

WHITNEY RICHARD is taking an appeal from a court order granting the
Defendant's motion to compel arbitration in the lawsuit entitled
Whitney Richard, individually and on behalf of and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Georges Media Group, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 2:23-CV-1117, in the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana.

The case arises from alleged disclosures of the Plaintiff's

On Feb. 2, 2024, the Defendant filed a motion to compel
arbitration, which the Court granted through an Order entered by
Judge Eldon E. Fallon on Mar. 7, 2024.

The Court concluded that all of Richard's claims arise out of her
use of the websites, which is expressly governed by the arbitration
agreement. Thus, the Defendant's motion to compel arbitration was
granted and the matter was stayed and administratively closed until
arbitration is completed.

GRACE OCEAN: Faces Class Action Claim Over Key Bridge Collapse
--------------------------------------------------------------
American Publishing, LLC and its owners have filed a class action
claim against Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Pte
Ltd, on behalf of a class of similarly situated business owners
adversely affected by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge
in the admiralty proceeding pending in the District of Maryland.

The action seeks compensatory damages for each Claimant
individually, and as representatives on behalf of the putative
class.

Karen Austin and Charles Austin, Jr. are citizens and residents of
Baltimore, Maryland. They owned and operated American Publishing,
LLC, a company organized and existing under the laws of Maryland
with its principal office located in Baltimore, Maryland.  These
claimants appear in their individual capacities and as
representatives of the class defined as all businesses,
individuals, and other entities who have sustained a loss as a
result of the destruction of the Key Bridge.

Grace Ocean Private Limited is a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Singapore with its registered office in
Singapore, and was the registered owner of the M/V DALI.

Synergy Marine Pte Ltd is a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Singapore with its registered office in Singapore
and was the manager of the Vessel. Synergy was responsible for,
among other things, manning and victualing the Vessel; procuring
and providing deck, engine, and cabin stores; maintenance and
repairs of the Vessel's hull and machinery; provisioning of spare
parts, maintenance and repairs for the Vessel; and communicating
with Owner and the Vessel's time charterers.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was a 1.6-mile span over the Patapsco
River at the outer crossing of the Baltimore Harbor. It is owned by
the Maryland Transportation Authority. The Key Bridge was completed
in 1977 and made up part of Interstate 695, also known as the
Baltimore Beltway.

By approximately 1:28 AM local time on March 26, 2024, the Dali
catastrophically allided with the Key Bridge, precipitating its
immediate downfall, claiming lives, ravaging local property, and
crippling the region's economic lifeline -- a catastrophe whose
repercussions will resonate for generations.

Since the disastrous allision, commercial activities in and around
Baltimore have virtually come to a standstill.  It could take
several years for the area to recover fully.  Among the impacted
businesses is that of Claimants.

"This catastrophe was wholly preventable," counsel for the
Claimants, Roy L. Mason, Esq., at Smouse & Mason, LLC, asserts.
"Reports indicate that alarms signaling erratic power supply had
been activated even before the Dali's departure, clearly signifying
its unfit state for voyage. Nevertheless, it was allowed to leave
port, a decision marred by flagrant disregard for seaworthiness."

The strategic position of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was vital to
local businesses, including those advertised in Claimants'
directory, which relied heavily on the bridge for the movement and
transportation of goods, underscoring the interconnected nature of
local commerce and infrastructure.

Before the bridge's destruction, Claimants' business was
flourishing, with increasing distribution and significant
advertisement revenue from local enterprises in and around
Baltimore.  The escalation in customer engagement and sales
effectiveness boosted the economic benefits to both military and
civilian communities, reflecting positively on Claimants'
publication's impact.  Last year, this success led Claimants to
secure a contract to publish the Base Guide for Fort Meade,
anticipating an influx of new personnel and their associated needs.
However, the immediate aftermath of the Key Bridge's destruction
saw a dramatic halt in business activities. The local business
community, stunned by the event, ceased communications, resulting
in a sharp decline in service calls and sales for Claimants.

Claimants were positioned to continue their business operations
undisturbed, yet the destruction of the Key Bridge directly
undermined this stability, causing ongoing significant revenue
losses.  Claimants' income declined 84% when comparing April 2023
to April 2024.  There was no other reason for this dramatic loss of
income other than the destruction of the Key Bridge, Mr. Mason
contends.

"The losses incurred by Claimants were a foreseeable consequence of
the Petitioners' negligence, given their failure to ensure the
seaworthiness of the vessel that ultimately led to the bridge's
destruction," Mr. Mason argues. "Consequently, the destruction
wrought by the Petitioners has significantly impaired Claimants'
proprietary interests, with considerable financial losses that are
expected to persist."

The Claimants, hence, ask the Court (i) that their action be
certified as a class action pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure; (ii) for the full amount of Claimants'
and the Classes' damages as may be proven at trial; (iii) for costs
of suit; (iv) for Attorney's fees; (v) pre-judgment and
post-judgment interest as allowed by law; (vi) for injunctive
relief; (vii) for punitive damages; and (viii) all other relief
that the Court deems just and proper.

of 40 hours in a workweek, by failing to include all forms of

commissions, incentives, awards, and/or other rewards and payments,
in said employees' regular rates of pay for overtime calculation
purposes, in violation of the FLSA and WWPCL.

The Plaintiff was hired by the Defendant into the position of

INDEPENDENT BANK: Grice Appeals Summary Judgment Ruling to 4th Cir.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
JAMILA GRICE is taking an appeal from a court order granting in
part and denying in part the Defendant's motion for summary
judgment in the lawsuit entitled Jamila Grice, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Independent
Bank, Defendant, Case No. 7:20-cv-01948-TMC, in the U.S. District
Court for the District of South Carolina.

The Plaintiff brought this purported class action for breach of
contract against the Defendant.

On Feb. 13, 2023, the Defendant filed a motion for summary
judgment, which the Court granted in part and denied in part
through an Order entered by Judge Timothy M. Cain on Mar. 26, 2024.
The motion was granted to the extent the Plaintiff alleges that the
Defendant breached its contract with the Plaintiff by assessing
overdraft fees on Authorize Positive, Purportedly Settle Negative
(APPSN) transactions prior to March 9, 2017. The Plaintiff's other
claims remain.

The appellate case is captioned Jamila Grice v. Independent Bank,
Case No. 24-153, in the United States Court of Appeals for the

KEYPOINT GOVERNMENT: Ct. Certifies FLSA Collective in Brayman
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as RACHEL BRAYMAN, DANA
McCARTHY, and ADRIANA PONCE, individually and on behalf of all
other similarly situated individuals, v. KEYPOINT GOVERNMENT
SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, Case No.
1:18-cv-00550-WJM-NRN (D. Colo.), the Hon. Judge William J.
Martínez entered an order that:

   1. KeyPoint's motion to clarify the court's order denying its
      motion to compel arbitration is denied as moot;

   2. KeyPoint's amended motion for decertification is denied;

   3. Plaintiffs' amended motion for final certification of the
FLSA
      Collective is granted;

   4. The Court certifies a FLSA Collective Action class defined as

      follows:

      "All persons who worked as, or who were hired to be, a Field

      Investigator, Background Investigator, or in other position
      with similar job duties, for Defendant KeyPoint Government
      Solutions, Inc. at any time from April 6, 2015 to Sept. 18,
      2019."

   5. Plaintiffs' amended motion for Rule 23 Class Certification is

      denied; and

   6. Counsel shall jointly contact the chambers of Magistrate
Judge
      N. Reid Neureiterby no later than April 22, 2024 to set a
status
      conference or such other proceeding as Judge Neureiter deems

      appropriate to move this action forward.

The Plaintiffs allege that "all Plaintiffs worked unpaid overtime
hours because of the same company-wide performance-based metric
system, which encouraged or pressured the Plaintiffs to underreport
their hours" and that "they needed to work overtime hours to
complete their regularly assigned heavy workload, including their
reworks, and to meet unrealistic performance expectations."

The Plaintiffs, who worked as field investigators ("FIs"), operated
remotely from their homes around the country and were classified as
hourly, non-exempt employees.

KeyPoint provides investigative services to federal government
agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management.

MARY JANE ELLIOT: Appeals Class Cert. Ruling in VanderKodde Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP, INC., et al. are taking an appeal from a
court order in the lawsuit entitled Daniel VanderKodde, et al.,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiffs, v. Mary Jane Elliott, PC, et al., Defendants, Case No.
1:17-cv-00203, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District
of Michigan.

The Plaintiffs allege the Defendants violated the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Michigan Regulation of
Collection Practices Act (MRCPA) and the Michigan Occupational Code
(MOC) by filing writs of garnishment that calculated post-judgment
interest at a rate not authorized by statute.

On Sept. 18, 2020, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for class
certification, which the Court granted through an Order entered by
Judge Paul L. Maloney on Mar. 1, 2024. The Court finds that the
allegations and the record support the Plaintiffs' request and
approves two classes.

On Mar. 15, 2024, the Defendants filed a motion for reconsideration
of the Order granting Plaintiffs' motion to certify class, which
the Court denied on Mar. 26, 2024.

The appellate case is captioned Daniel VanderKodde, et al. v. Mary
Jane Elliott, PC, et al., Case No. 24-0103, in the United States

MDL 2492: Richardson Appeals Class Cert. Bid Denial
---------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff JAMIE RICHARDSON filed an appeal from the District
Court's March 22, 2024 Order entered in the lawsuit styled Jamie
Richardson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. Southeastern Conference and National
Collegiate Athletic Association, the Defendants, Case No.
1:16-cv-09980, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois.

The case was transferred from the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Indiana to the Northern District of Illinois
on October 25, 2016.

The Richardson case was consolidated with MDL 2492 in re: National
Collegiate Athletic Association Student-Athlete Concussion Injury
Litigation. The MDL was created by Order of the United States
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation on December 18, 2013.
The actions before the Panel seek medical monitoring for putative
classes of former student athletes at NCAA-member schools who
allege they suffered concussions. Plaintiffs allege that the NCAA
concealed information about the risks of the long-term effects of
concussion injuries. Opponents to centralization argue, inter alia,
that (1) the putative classes and claims alleged in these actions
do not sufficiently overlap; and (2) given the small number of
actions pending, alternatives to centralization are preferable. In
its December 18, 2013 Order, the MDL Panel found that the actions
in this MDL involve common questions of fact, and that
centralization in the Northern District of Illinois will serve the
convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and
efficient conduct of the litigation. These actions share factual
questions relating to allegations against the NCAA stemming from
injuries sustained while playing sports at NCAA-member
institutions, including damages resulting from the permanent
long-term effects of concussions.

The Plaintiff filed asked the Court to certify the following
classes:

   -- Langston Classes: Plaintiff Nicolette Ann Langston, on behalf
of the Estate of Zachary Langston, proposed certification of the
Langston Student-Athlete Class: All individuals who participated in
Pittsburg State University's NCAA-sanctioned football program
between 1958 and 2010, or their authorized representatives, ordered
by a court or other official of competent jurisdiction under
applicable state law.

   -- Young Derivative Class: Plaintiff Danae Young, on behalf of
D.L., a minor, proposed certification of the Young Derivative
Class: Spouses, parents, children who are dependents, or any other
persons who properly under applicable state law assert the right to
sue independently or derivatively by reason of their relationship
with individuals who participated in Pittsburg State University’s
NCAA-sanctioned football program between 1958 and 2010.

   -- Richardson Class: Plaintiff Jamie Richardson proposed
certification of the Richardson Class: All individuals who
participated in the University of Florida's NCAA-sanctioned
football program between 1958 and 2010, or their authorized
representatives, ordered by a court or other official of competent
jurisdiction under applicable state law.

   -- Rose Class: Plaintiff Michael Rose and Timothy Stratton
proposed certification of the Rose Class: All individuals who
participated in Purdue University's NCAA-sanctioned football
program between 1958 and 2010, or their authorized representatives,
ordered by a court or other official of competent jurisdiction
under applicable state law.

   -- Weston Class: Plaintiff Eric Weston proposed certification of
the Weston Class: All individuals who participated in Weber State's
NCAA-sanctioned football program between 1958 and 2010, or their
authorized representatives, ordered by a court or other official of
competent jurisdiction under applicable state law.

On March 22, 2024, a Memorandum Opinion and Order was signed by the
Honorable Manish S. Shah holding that Plaintiffs' motion to proceed
with Fed R. Civ. P. Rule 23(c)(4) issue certification is denied.
The NCAA's motion to compel the sample-case Plaintiffs to respond
to discovery requests was denied as moot.

The appellate case is captioned as In re National Collegiate
Athletic Association Student-Athlete Concussion Injury
Litigation—Single Sport/Single School (Football) JAMIE
RICHARDSON, Plaintiff-Petitioner v. NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION, Defendant-Respondent, Case No. 24-8009, in the United
States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, filed on April 5,
2024.

The questions presented are: 1. Does a release which preserves the
ability of settlement class members to pursue class claims
nevertheless preclude class members from seeking issues class
certification in a subsequent class case? 2. Is class certification
proper only if every member of the class has standing to sue? 3.
May class certification be denied before the parties submit
evidence to support or oppose the motion? 4. Is a proceeding in
which several key time- and resource-intensive issues are resolved
on a class basis an appropriate use of Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(4)?

MDL 3010: SkinnySchool Files 2nd Cir. Appeal in Antitrust Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiffs SkinnySchool LLC, et al., filed an appeal from the
District Court's Opinion and Order dated March 1, 2024 and Order
and Judgment dated March 4 entered in the lawsuit styled
SkinnySchool, LLC and Mint Rose Day Spa, LLC, Plaintiffs v. Google
LLC, Case No. 1:21-cv-07045-PKC, consolidated in "In Re: Google
Digital Advertising Antitrust Litigation," MDL No. 3010, in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on August 31, 2021, the
actions concern Google's alleged monopolization and suppression of
competition in online display advertising -- essentially, the
marketplace for the placement of digital display ads on websites
and mobile apps. The parties describe the principal participants in
online display advertising as advertisers seeking to place ads on
the internet, online content providers such as news sites offering
ad space alongside digital content, and high-speed electronic
trading venues called "exchanges" that advertisers and online
publishers use to manage the buying and selling of ad space.

The actions allege that Google runs the largest ad exchange and has
engaged in unlawful acts to suppress competition, causing injuries
to advertisers and publishers that participate in its exchange by
imposing supracompetitive pricing and depriving them of revenue.
The Plaintiffs in all actions seek declaratory and equitable relief
under federal or state antitrust laws to stop the alleged conduct
and damages.

On August 20, 2021, the case was transferred from the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California to the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York for centralized
pretrial proceedings in MDL No. 3010.

On February 3, 2023, the Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the
consolidated amended class action complaint.

On March 1, 2024, the motions to dismiss in In re: Google Digital
Antitrust Advertising was GRANTED as to Plaintiffs' claims directed
to Project Elmo, Project Poirot and Reserve Price Optimization.
