AI DEVELOPMENT: Faces Class Lawsuit Over Illegal Gambling in NY
---------------------------------------------------------------
The South Shore Pres reports that a class action lawsuit has been
filed against a company accused of operating an illegal online
gambling platform under the guise of a "free" social casino. The
complaint targets AI Development, LLC, which operates under the
name No Limit Coins.
The lawsuit alleges that No Limit Coins presents itself as a social
casino but functions as an unlicensed gambling site in violation of
New York law. Users can purchase virtual currency to play
traditional casino games like slots and jackpots on No Limit Coins'
website. These virtual currencies include Gold Coins for free play
and Super Coins that can be redeemed for cash or prizes. The
plaintiff claims this setup misleads consumers into believing they
are engaging in risk-free entertainment when they are actually
participating in unlawful gambling activities.
The plaintiff argues that No Limit Coins exploits its users by
bundling Gold Coins with Super Coins, disguising real-money
gambling as a free-to-play experience. The lawsuit highlights that
players often purchase additional coin bundles when they run out of
Super Coins, even if they have unused Gold Coins. The complaint
states that New York law prohibits such online gambling operations
unless conducted by licensed operators in physical locations.
The plaintiff is seeking damages, restitution, and injunctive
relief to halt what she describes as deceptive practices by AI
Development LLC. She alleges the company violates several New York
laws designed to protect consumers from illegal gambling and
misleading advertising, including the New York Loss Recovery Act
and New York General Business Law sections 349 and 350.
The case was filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York under Case ID 1:25-cv-06061. [GN]

CAPITAL ONE: Bid for Final OK of Settlement in Bellantoni Nixed
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Bellantoni v. Capital One
Financial Corporation et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-01076 (E.D. Va.),
the Hon. Judge David Novak entered an order denying motion for
final approval of class action settlement.
The Court directs the parties to engage in further settlement
negotiations to remedy the flaws in the proposed settlement
highlighted by the Court. Let the Clerk file a copy of this Order
electronically and notify all counsel of record to include counsel
for the New York Attorney General's Office, as well as the Special
Master.
The Court further notes that, even if it accepted Capital One's
contrary position that the continuing 360 Savings account holders
knowingly remain in these accounts despite the significantly lower
interest income available to them, the proposed settlement would
still fail Rule 23 muster.
Capital is an American bank holding company.

CITADEL SECURITIES: Faces Securities Class Action Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------
Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) ("Genius Group" or the
"Company"), a leading AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group,
announced it has filed a Class Action Complaint in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York
alleging that Citadel Securities LLC, and Virtu Americas LLC (the
"Defendants") engaged in a long-running market manipulation scheme
that includes spoofing and naked short selling of the Company's
shares and related acts in violation of Section 10(b), Sections
9(a)(2) and 9(e) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
The Company believes the lawsuit sets a number of precedents with
regards to the protection of shareholder interests and the Company.
As such, the Company is taking action to recover damages caused due
to alleged market manipulation:
-- This lawsuit is a Class Action Complaint filed on behalf of the
Company and ALL of its investors who sold Genius Group stock at
artificially deflated prices as a result of Defendants' alleged
abuses.
-- Pursuing a class action will help the Company facilitate a
recovery not just for Genius Group's losses, but for all its harmed
shareholders as well.
-- The Company will ask the Court to appoint it "lead plaintiff"
in the class action, so that the Company can effectively manage the
litigation and diligently work to protect its shareholders'
interests.
The class action complaint alleges that Defendants engaged in
longstanding and widespread manipulative trading scheme centered on
repeatedly "spoofing" Genius Group stock. "Spoofing" is a
manipulative and illegal trading practice that involves submitting
and then cancelling buy or sell orders without any genuine intent
to execute them. The purpose of these "baiting orders" is to
mislead other market participants about the level of supply and/or
demand for a security, or about the degree of price volatility
associated with a security, and thereby influence market prices for
that security.
The complaint alleges that for a period of at least three years --
between April 12, 2022 and May 30, 2025 (the "Class Period") --
Defendants repeatedly entered thousands of spoofing trades designed
to create the false impression that there was both excess supply
and excess volatility in Genius stock. The Company has confirmed
that the lawsuit seeks at least the previously reported no less
than $250 million in damages.
These manipulative orders were calculated to (and successfully did)
deceive or induce other investors to sell their holdings at
artificially deflated prices. In particular, the complaint
alleges:
On 98% of all trading days during the Class Period, Defendants
repeatedly entered spoofing trades designed to manipulate the price
of Genius stock. Defendants entered dozens -- sometimes thousands
-- of such trades on a given trading day, canceling them within
milliseconds of placement.
Defendants repeatedly built massive short positions through
off-exchange trading over a few trading days, and then bombarded
the market with spoofing trades (baiting orders canceled within 100
milliseconds of placement) causing significant declines in the
price of Genius Group stock.
Less than a minute after these baiting orders were placed,
Defendants sold significant volumes of Genius stock short through
off-exchange trading.
Defendants also engaged in significant naked short-selling, i.e.,
improper short sales that are unsupported by existing market
inventory. Indeed, major declines in Genius Group stock were also
accompanied by large spikes in evidence of such activity.
In filing this class action, Genius Group is demonstrating its
commitment to its shareholders and the Company intends to work
diligently to protect their interests.
Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said "We have been
consistent in calling for fair markets and taking actions to
protect our shareholders. The filing of this lawsuit is an
important milestone for the company in what has been a long,
multi-year fight to protect the company and its shareholders and
expose unfair and illegal practices that our investors have dealt
with."
"Even today, multiple brokers have taken away the buy button on
Genius shares while leaving the sell button, making it hard to buy
but easy to sell our stock without providing adequate explanation
as to why they are choosing to target our company. We give notice
to any and all bad actors seeking to profit at the expense of our
shareholders that we will continue to take forceful, proactive
action to defend our company."
The Company and its legal team will continue to provide updates to
its shareholders on this case as appropriate. The Company also
reminds shareholders of the record date of November 28, 2025 to
transfer shares via the Direct Registration System (DRS) to book
entry with the Company's transfer agent, VStock in order to benefit
from the Bitcoin Loyalty Payment program, designed to reduce the
number of Company shares available to short sellers. Full details
of the program can be found here.

CIVITAS RESOURCES: New Jersey Court Closes "Lin" Suit
-----------------------------------------------------
Civitas Resources, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that a New Jersey court has
entered an order closing the putative class action filed by Jeremy
Lin.
"On May 2, 2025, Jeremy Lin (the "Plaintiff"), individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class
action complaint for violation of federal securities laws against
us, our former Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial
Officer (collectively, the "Defendants") in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey (the "Complaint").
The Complaint purported to bring a federal securities class action
on behalf of a class of persons and entities other than the
Defendants who acquired our securities between February 27, 2024
and February 24, 2025 and asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
The Complaint alleged, among other things, that the Defendants made
materially false and misleading statements related to our business,
operations and prospects, including our anticipated production
volumes and financial condition in 2025. The Plaintiff sought,
among other things, certification of a class, an award of
unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees and expert fees.
"On October 27, 2025, the Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary
dismissal of the action without prejudice and, on October 28, 2025,
the court entered an order closing the case," the Company stated.
CONDUENT BUSINESS: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Bianco Alleges
---------------------------------------------------------------
DEBRA BIANCO, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CONDUENT BUSINESS SERVICES, LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 2:25-cv-17177 (D.N.J., Nov. 4, 2025) seeks to hold the
Defendant responsible for the injuries the Defendant inflicted on
Plaintiff and over 10 million others due to the Defendant's
egregiously inadequate data security, which resulted in the private
information of Plaintiff and those similarly situated to be exposed
to unauthorized third parties (the "Data Breach").
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant
disregarded the rights of the Plaintiff and Class Members by
intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and negligently failing to
implement reasonable measures to safeguard Private Information and
by failing to take necessary steps to prevent unauthorized
disclosure of that information. Conduent's woefully inadequate data
security measures made the Data Breach a foreseeable, and even
likely, consequence of its negligence, says the Plaintiff.
As a direct and proximate result of the Data Breach, the Plaintiff
and Class Members have suffered actual and present injuries.

----------------------------------------------------------------
JORDAN BURWELL, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CONDUENT BUSINESS SERVICES, LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 2:25-cv-17170 (D.N.J., Nov. 4, 2025) alleges violation of
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
("HIPAA").
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant failed to
implement industry-standard cybersecurity measures, including
failing to meet the minimum Defendant violated its duty to
implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and
practices. Defendant could have prevented this Data Breach by
properly securing and encrypting the files and file servers
containing the Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members.
The Defendant did not use reasonable security procedures and
practices appropriate to the nature of the sensitive information
they were maintaining for Plaintiff and Class Members, such as
encrypting the information or implementing adequate access controls
and monitoring systems, says the suit.

CONDUENT INC: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Cromer Suit Says
------------------------------------------------------------
KERRI CROMER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CONDUENT INCORPORATED, Defendant, Case No.
2:25-cv-17188-MEF-MAH (D.N.J., Nov. 4, 2025) alleges violation of
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that cybercriminals were
able to breach the Defendant's systems because Defendant failed to
adequately train its employees on cybersecurity, failed to
adequately monitor its agents, contractors, vendors, and suppliers
in handling and securing the Private Information of Plaintiff, and
failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards or protocols to
protect the Class's Private Information -- rendering it an easy
target for cybercriminals.
The Defendant knew or should have known that each victim of the
Data Breach deserved prompt and efficient notice of the Data Breach
and assistance in mitigating the effects of Private Information
misuse. In failing to adequately protect its customers' information
and obfuscating the nature of the breach, Defendant violated state
law and harmed an unknown number of its current and former
customers, asserts the suit.

CRH HEALTHCARE: Doe Suit Alleges Data Privacy Violations

IMMEDIATE CARE; PEACHTREE IMMEDIATE CARE UC, LLC; PEACHTREE
IMMEDIATE CARE FP, LLC; and CRH GEORGIA, LLC; Defendants, Case No.
1:25-cv-06353-TWT (N.D. Ga., Nov. 5, 2025) alleges that the
Defendants violated the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants are
engaged in illegal and widespread practice of disclosing patients'
confidential information including protected health information
("PHI") (collectively referred to as "Private Information") to
Alphabet Inc. d/b/a Google ("Google"). The Defendants installed
Google tracking and data collection tools on the Website to share
patients' PII and PHI with Google and other unauthorized third
parties in violation of federal and state laws (the "Google

DANIELLE OUTLAW: Flacco Files Bid to Compel Discovery
-----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as CHRISTOPHER FLACCO, et
al., v. DANIELLE OUTLAW, et al., Case No. 2:24-cv-04374-MAK (E.D.
Pa.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order granting
motion to compel discovery as follows:
The Plaintiffs' TAC pleads a PWPCL claim against the City and
Individual Defendants and a 14th Amendment procedural due process
claim against the Individual Defendants.
These claims relate back to 2013 based on Plaintiffs’ allegations
around Defendant D'Attilio's November 13, 2013 distribution of a
memo to all City offices, boards and commissions circulating the
full text of CSR 31.06, advising recipients to insert the pages
into their "copy of the Civil Service Regulations," and advising
"These Regulations have been approved by the Civil Service
Commission and all other persons whose approval is required under
the provisions of the Home Rule Charter" so the recipients could
take all steps needed to effectuate them.
Because Defendants' actions since 2013, and documents created since
2013, are relevant to Plaintiffs' claims, the City should have to
supplement its Responses and production to include discovery for
this entire period.
In response to the Plaintiffs' request for DAR, the City produced
City21-8871, 8891-10622, and 46516-46733. These documents are OT
Code reports for certain codes, so do not reveal how many hours the
Class members worked on any day, or confirm they performed
emergency work on a day they also worked a full shift, issues the
Court determined to be relevant at class certification. Because
Plaintiffs’ claims involve proving facts about all the hours they
worked, which is only found in DAR, these documents should be
produced.
Communications about emergency activations (Request 11). Plaintiffs
requested all communications sent by any PPD Commissioner, Deputy
Commissioner, OHR, OEM, or the Philadelphia Employee Alert System
requiring any PPD ranking officer to report for duty or work extra
hours during an emergency.
Danielle is an American former law enforcement officer.

EQT CORP: Ross Seeks OK of Amended Class Cert Bid
-------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as RICHARD A. ROSS and
FIELDSTONE VENTURES, LLC, on their own behalf and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, v. EQT CORPORATION; EQT PRODUCTION
COMPANY; RICE DRILLING B, LLC; VANTAGE ENERGY APPALACHIA LLC; and
VANTAGE ENERGY APPALACHIA II LLC, Case No. 2:21-cv-01585-WSS (W.D.
Pa.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order:
-- granting their amended motion for class certification,
-- certifying the proposed Class under Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure 23(b)(2) and 23(b)(3) defined as:
"All persons (natural or fictitious) who owned a real property
interest in a natural gas mineral estate in Pennsylvania
during the statutory period, wherein— (1) such owner is not a
party to a lease with any of the Defendants for such interest;
and (2) such natural gas mineral estate was at least partially
situated within a "drilling unit," as set forth in 25 Pa. Code
section 79.1; and (3) one or more Defendants extracted natural
gas from such drilling unit; and (4) the Defendants failed to
pay such persons for those persons' pro rata shares of the
natural gas extracted from such drilling unit (the "Class")";
and
-- appointing the Plaintiffs as Class Representatives and the
undersigned as Class Counsel
Class certification is warranted under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 23(b)(2) because EQT has acted in a manner that applies
generally to the Class, and final injunctive or declaratory relief
is appropriate with respect to the whole Class.
As detailed in the Supporting Brief, the Plaintiffs and the
putative Class are natural gas owners who have not been compensated
by EQT for EQT's extraction of their natural gas, which
compensation is required under Pennsylvania statutory and common
law. EQT has also failed to provide an accounting to the Plaintiffs
for their interests in the extracted natural gas, to which the
Plaintiffs and the putative Class are entitled under Pennsylvania
law.
EQT engages in the production, gathering, and transmission of
natural gas.

EXP WORLD: Awaits Final Court OK of Settlement in Antitrust Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Exp World Holdings, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it is awaiting final court
approval of the settlement in the antitrust litigation.
"The Company and its affiliated brokerage entities were among
several defendants in eight U.S. and one Canadian putative class
action lawsuits alleging that the Company participated in a system
that resulted in sellers of residential property paying inflated
buyer broker commissions in violation of U.S. federal and state
antitrust laws and federal Canadian antitrust laws, as applicable,
and one U.S. putative class action lawsuit alleging that the
Company participated in a system that resulted in buyers of
residential property paying inflated home prices as a result of
sellers paying inflated buyer broker commissions in violation of
federal and Illinois antitrust laws (collectively, the "antitrust
litigation").
"On December 9, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries
entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement") with
plaintiffs in the U.S. antitrust lawsuit 1925 Hooper LLC, et al. v.
The National Association of Realtors et al., Case No.
1:23-cv-05392- SEG (United States District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, Atlanta Division), which was filed on November
22, 2023 against the Company and other U.S. brokerage defendants
(the "Hooper Action").
"The Settlement resolves all claims set forth in the Hooper Action
and similar claims on a nationwide basis against the Company
(collectively, the "Claims") and releases the Company, its
subsidiaries and affiliates, and their independent contractor real
estate agents in the U.S. from the Claims. By the terms of the
Settlement, the Company agreed to make certain changes to its
business practices and to pay a total settlement amount of $34.0
million (not in thousands) (the "Settlement Amount") into a
qualified settlement escrow fund (the "Settlement Fund"). The
Settlement Amount is expected to be deposited into the Settlement
Fund in installments, of which 50% of the settlement (or $17.0
million (not in thousands)) is to be deposited into the Settlement
Fund within 30 business days after preliminary court approval of
the Settlement and the final 50% (or $17.0 million (not in
thousands)) is to be deposited on or before the one-year
anniversary of the initial settlement payment. On May 23, 2025, the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
granted preliminary approval of the Settlement. In accordance with
the Settlement terms, the Company funded the first $17.0 million
(not in thousands) installment into the Settlement Fund during the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company intends to use
available cash to pay the remaining Settlement Amount. Management
has determined that a remaining $17.0 million (not in thousands)
loss is probable and has included a $17.0 million (not in
thousands) litigation contingency accrual recorded for the quarter
ended September 30, 2025. While management has determined that loss
in excess of the accrual is reasonably possible, it is currently
unable to reasonably estimate the possible additional loss or range
of possible additional loss because, among other reasons, (i) the
settlement is subject to court approval and appeals processes, (ii)
further developments in the legal proceedings, including but not
limited to motions or rulings, could impact the Company’s
exposure; and/or (iii) potential changes in law or precedent could
affect the final determination of liability.
"The Settlement remains subject to final court approval and will
become effective following any appeals process, if applicable. The
Settlement and any actions taken to carry out the Settlement are
not an admission or concession of liability, or of the validity of
any claim, defense, or point of fact or law on the part of any
party. The Company continues to deny the material allegations of
the complaints in the antitrust litigation. The Company entered
into the Settlement after considering the risks and costs of
continuing the litigation," the Company stated.
EXP WORLD: Continues to Defend "McFall" in Canada
-------------------------------------------------
Exp World Holdings, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it continues to defend
itself against the putative class action antitrust lawsuit styled
Kevin McFall v. Canadian Real Estate Association, et al., Case No.
T-119-24-ID 1 (Federal Court of Canada).
"The Company continues to vigorously defend against the claims in
the Canadian putative class action antitrust lawsuit Kevin McFall
v. Canadian Real Estate Association, et al., Case No. T-119-24-ID 1
(Federal Court of Canada), filed on January 18, 2024. Management is
currently unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range
of possible loss for the Canadian antitrust litigation because,
among other reasons, (i) the proceeding is in preliminary stages,
(ii) specific damage amounts have not been sought, (iii) damages
sought are, in our opinion, unsupported and/or exaggerated, (iv)
there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (v)
there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories presented.
For the Canadian antitrust litigation, we have not recorded any
accruals as of September 30, 2025.
"While the Company does not expect such litigation to have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition, due to the complexities inherent
in such litigation, including the uncertainty of legal processes
and potential developments in the cases, the ultimate liability may
differ from current expectations," the Company stated.
EXPENSIFY INC: Continues to Defend "Wilhite" in Oregon
------------------------------------------------------
Expensify, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission that it continues to defend the putative
securities class action captioned Wilhite v. Expensify, Inc., et
al., Case No. 3:23-cv-01784-JR, pending before an Oregon court.
"On November 29, 2023, a putative securities class action (the
"Putative Class Action") was filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Oregon captioned Wilhite v. Expensify,
Inc., et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-01784-JR, naming us, two of our
executive officers and two of our former directors as defendants
(collectively, the "Defendants"). The lawsuit is purportedly
brought on behalf of all those who purchase or acquired our stock
pursuant or traceable to our initial public offering ("IPO"). The
complaint alleges claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities
Act of 1933 based on allegedly false or misleading statements in
the offering documents filed in connection with our IPO. The
lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and other relief. On January 29,
2024, three shareholders moved to be appointed lead plaintiff in
the Putative Class Action. The court appointed a lead plaintiff and
lead counsel on March 11, 2024. Pursuant to the parties’
stipulation, the lead plaintiff’s amended complaint was filed May
10, 2024, naming six of our current board members as additional
defendants (together with the Defendants, the "Amended
Defendants"). Amended Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended
complaint was filed on July 9, 2024. The lead plaintiff’s
opposition was filed on September 6, 2024, and the Amended
Defendants’ reply was filed on October 18, 2024. On December 30,
2024, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendation that
the Amended Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted in part and
denied in part. The lead plaintiff and Amended Defendants each
filed objections to the magistrate judge’s findings and
recommendation on January 21, 2025, and responses to the objections
on February 4, 2025. On March 24, 2025, the court adopted, with
certain modifications, the magistrate judge's findings and
recommendation.
"The defendants intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and
vigorously defend against the claims in the Putative Class Action,"
the Company stated.
FEDERAL BUREAU: Banks Seeks to Certify Rule 23 Class Action
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as FREDERICK BANKS, v. WARDEN
R. THOMPSON and the FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS, Case No.
1:25-cv-16338-CPO (D.N.J.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter
an order granting motion to certify class action and appoint class
counsel.
Petitioner Frederick Banks moves the Court to certify this matter
as a class action pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure and to appoint class counsel.
The motion seeks relief not only for Petitioner, but for all
similarly situated federal inmates nationwide who have suffered
injury due to the Bureau of Prisons' systemic failure to properly
calculate First Step Act (FSA) earned-time credits:
Petitioner requests that the Court
1. Certify this matter as a nationwide class action under Rule
23(a) and 23(b)(2);
2. Appoint qualified class counsel pursuant to Rule 23(g);
3. Grant any further relief the Court deems just and proper
Petitioner seeks certification of the following class:
"All federal inmates in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons
who have earned First Step Act time credits but whose release
or prerelease placement dates have not been correctly
calculated or applied in accordance with 18 U.S.C. section
3624(g) and Cox v. Rarden."
The Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") has consistently failed to calculate
and apply FSA earned-time credits in accordance with 18 U.S.C.
sectopm 3624(g). The holding of Cox v. Rarden, No. 2:24-cv-00076
(S.D. Ohio 2024), confirms that the BOP's methodology is unlawful.
This failure results in widespread and ongoing unlawful detention
of federal inmates across all BOP facilities.
The issues raised herein are systemic, uniform, and affect tens of
thousands of inmates. Class certification is the only mechanism
capable of providing comprehensive and equitable relief
BOP provides for the care, custody, and control of federal
prisoners.

GENERAL MOTORS: Judge Appoints DiCello Levitt as Lead Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
On November 13, 2025, Judge Shalina D. Kumar of the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan appointed
DiCello Levitt, alongside Hagens Berman, Lieff Cabraser, and Miller
Law, as Lead Counsel in a consolidated class action involving
catastrophic engine failures in GM vehicles equipped with the 6.2L
"L87" V8 engine.
In choosing DiCello Levitt and its co-counsel over a competing
leadership applicant, the Court noted that DiCello Levitt, Hagens
Berman, Lieff Cabraser, and Miller Law are "best able to represent
the interests of the putative class" and cited our team's
substantial investigation, retention of experts, and extensive
experience leading automotive defect cases as key factors in its
decision.
This litigation brings together twelve separate actions,
representing vehicle owners nationwide who have experienced low
mileage engine failures allegedly caused by a defect in GM's 6.2L
engines.
DiCello Levitt's team includes Adam Levitt, John Tangren, Dan
Ferri, and Madeline Hills.
"We are honored by the Court's confidence in our team and look
forward to fighting for consumers who have suffered significant
losses due to these engine defects," said DiCello Levitt Founding
Partner Adam Levitt. "Our firm is committed to holding
manufacturers accountable and securing meaningful relief for
consumers."

GROUP HEALTH: Agrees to Settle Data Breach Class Suit for $3.5MM
----------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia DeRicco of ClassAction.org reports that a $3.5 million class
action settlement with the Group Health Cooperative of South
Central Wisconsin (GHC-SCW) will offer cash payments and identity
theft protection services for customers affected by the January 25,
2024 data breach.
Did you know that some class action settlements require no proof to
submit a claim? Check out the latest top class action settlements.
The $3,500,000 GHC-SCW class action settlement was given
preliminary approval by the court on September 22, 2025, and covers
all United States residents who received a notice about the data
breach, or whose private information may have been impacted in the
incident. Settlement documents state that the GHC-SCW data breach
impacted up to 533,809 people.
The court-approved website for the Group Health Cooperative of
South Central Wisconsin settlement can be found at
https://GHCSCWsettlement.com/.
According to the website, GHC-SCW settlement class members who file
a valid, timely claim form are eligible to receive up to $5,000 in
reimbursement for reasonable, documented losses related to the data
breach. Acceptable documentation to submit with a claim form
includes telephone records, correspondence such as emails, or
receipts, the settlement site states.
Alternatively, a Group Health Cooperative of South Central
Wisconsin settlement class member can opt for a pro rata cash
payment estimated to be approximately $100.
The settlement website adds that all GHC-SCW class members are
eligible to receive three years of CyEx Medical Data Monitoring,
which includes, among other benefits, real-time, one-bureau credit
file monitoring, dark web scanning, security freeze assistance and
$1 million in identity theft insurance with no deductible.
Cash payments from the class action settlement may be increased or
decreased so each class member receives a pro rata (equal share)
cash payment from the settlement fund.
To submit a claim form online, class members can visit this page on
the GHC-SCW settlement website and log in with the unique ID
provided in the data breach notice.
All claims and appropriate supporting documentation must be
submitted by January 20, 2026.
The final approval hearing is scheduled for February 4, 2026.
Payments will begin to be distributed to class members only after
the deal has received final approval and any appeals are resolved.
The settlement agreement also notes that the cost of any additional
security measures implemented by GHS-SCW after the data breach is
solely the responsibility of GHS-SCW and will not come out of the
settlement fund.
The $3.5 million settlement brings an end to a lawsuit filed
against GHC-SCW after members' personal health information was
accessed by an unauthorized third party. [GN]

HP INC: Bid for Judgement on the Pleadings Partly OK'd
------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MARY PATTISON, v. HP INC.,
Case No. 3:24-cv-02752-MMC (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Chesney
entered an order granting in part and denying in part the
Defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings as follows:
1. To the extent Pattison's claims are based on damages
resulting from the time and opportunity allegedly lost when
she attempted to obtain a rebate, the motion is granted and
HP is entitled to judgment.
2. In all other respects, the Motion is denied.
The putative class here, however, is not defined as persons who
submitted requests for rebates, but, rather, persons who purchased
a computer and Care Pack―impliedly, like Pattison, in reliance on
HP's representations regarding a potential rebate―and, as set
forth above, Pattison asserts she and the class members "sustained"
several types of damages, including "the cost of their computer
equipment and their Care.
Consequently, looking solely to the record currently presented, the
Court finds the interests of persons who did not actually apply for
a rebate are "fairly encompassed within the named plaintiff's
claim[s]."
Accordingly, the Court finds HP has failed to show the claims
Pattison seeks to bring on behalf of putative class members who
have not applied for a rebate are subject to dismissal.
The proposed class, as defined in the SAC is,
"All individuals and entities residing within the United
States and its territories who have (a) purchased computer
equipment along with a Care Pack from HP Inc. that covered
the computer equipment; and (b) not experienced a service
event involving the computer equipment for three years since
the purchase of the Care Pack."
HP is an American multinational information technology company that
develops personal computers, printers, and 3D printing solutions.

HYUNDAI MOTOR: Seeks Leave to File Class Cert Opposition Under Seal
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Brenda Hageman, Richard
Price, Timothy Sage, Lisa Page, David Kostka, Mark Schofield,
Louella Wilson, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly
situated, v. Hyundai Motor America, Case No. 8:23-cv-01045-HDV-KES
(C.D. Cal.), the Defendant asks the Court to enter an order
granting application for leave to file portions of its opposition
to the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification under seal
pursuant to L.R. 79 5.2.2(a).
Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 79-5.2.2(a), Defendant Hyundai Motor
America (HMA) applies for leave to file under seal portions of its
Opposition to the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
On Oct. 27, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiffs' Application for
Leave to File Under Seal Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class
Certification and Exhibits in Support. HMA now seeks to seal only
those portions of its Opposition Brief that reflect materials
already sealed by the Court.
The Parties have conferred, and Plaintiffs do not oppose this
Application. HMA's Application is narrowly tailored to include only
information that has already been sealed by the Court. Good cause
therefore exists to grant the requested sealing.
Hyundai is the operating subsidiary that oversees all operations of
Hyundai Motor Company in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

IOVANCE BIOTHERAPEUTICS: Securities Class Suits Remain Pending
--------------------------------------------------------------
Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that the securities class action
lawsuits against it remain pending.
On May 15, 2025, two putative securities class actions were filed
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California, captioned Sundaram v. Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc., et
al., No. 25-cv-04177 ("Sundaram") and Farberov v. Iovance
Biotherapeutics, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-04199 ("Farberov"), naming
the Company and certain of the Company's officers as defendants.
The complaints purport to assert claims against the defendants
under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"1934 Act"), SEC Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act. The
Sundaram action is on behalf of persons or entities who acquired
the Company's common stock between August 8, 2024 and May 8, 2025,
and the Farberov action is on behalf of persons or entities who
acquired the Company's common stock between May 9, 2024 and May 8,
2025. Each putative class action arises out of the Company's
quarterly disclosure of financial results on May 8, 2025, and the
decline in the price of the Company's common stock the following
day, and involve allegations that during the respective class
periods, defendants made materially false and misleading statements
regarding the Company's expected revenue for fiscal year 2025,
which the plaintiffs claim artificially inflated the price of the
Company's common stock.
The actions seek compensatory damages and costs and expenses
incurred in the actions, including attorneys' fees.
ISM VUZEM: Maslic Bid for Attys' Fees Partly OK'd
-------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as SASA MASLIC, individually
and on behalf of a certified class; IVAN DRZAIC; ROBERT HERNAUS;
LEOPOLD HUBEK; LEON HUDOLETNJAK; ELVIS KOSCAK; TOMICA PANIC;
STJEPAN PAPES; ŽELJKO PULJKO; DARKO ŠINCEK; DAVID ŠTANTE;
NEDELJKO ŽIVANIC; GOGO REBIC; and MITJA POGOREVC, v. ISM VUZEM
D.O.O.; ISM VUZEM USA, INC.; VUZEM USA, INC.; HRID-MONT D.O.O.;
IVAN VUZEM; ROBERT VUZEM; EISENMANN CORPORATION; and TESLA, INC.,
Case No. 5:21-cv-02556-BLF (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Beth Labson
Freeman entered an order granting in part the Plaintiffs' motion
for attorneys' fees.
(1) The Plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees is granted in
part. The Plaintiffs are awarded total attorneys' fees in
the amount of $438,275, as follows:
(a) The Court awards attorneys fees' in the amount of
$388,325 against Defendants ISM Vuzem, d.o.o., Ivan
Vuzem, Robert Vuzem, and HRID- Mont, d.o.o., and
Eisenmann Corporation, jointly and severally;
(b) The Court awards additional attorneys' fees in the
amount of $26,250 against Defendants ISM Vuzem, d.o.o.,
Ivan Vuzem, Robert Vuzem, and HRID-Mont, d.o.o. only,
jointly and severally; and
(c) The Court awards additional attorneys' fees in the
amount of $23,700 against Eisenman Corporation only.
(2) The Plaintiffs shall file a proposed amended default
judgment, incorporating this award of attorneys' fees, as
soon as is practicable.
The Court observes that at first blush, the 220 hours of attorney
time and 660 hours of paralegal time spent on the motion for
default judgment appear to be excessive. However, that
motion required proof of damages for the individual Plaintiffs and
the class in a complicated case involving wage theft and human
trafficking. The record shows that Plaintiffs submitted thousands
of pages of documents to support default judgment on those claims.
Accordingly, although the hours claimed in connection with the
motion for default judgment are high, the Court is satisfied that
the time expended was reasonable for the tasks performed. And the
Court notes with approval that Mr. Dresser assigned the bulk of
those tasks to paralegals who billed at a modest hourly rate. Based
on the foregoing, the Court will award attorneys' fees to
Plaintiffs for 863 hours of attorney time (1,023 claimed hours –
160 hours billed on Tesla's summary judgment motion) and 1,241
hours of paralegal time (1,326 claimed hours -- 85 hours billed on
Tesla's summary judgment motion).
The suit was brought on behalf of fourteen individual Plaintiffs
and a class of workers who were transported to the United States
from their home countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic
of Slovenia, and Croatia to provide cheap labor for American
companies. The corrected first amended complaint (FAC) alleged
that: the Vuzem Defendants employed Plaintiffs and contracted their
labor to American companies such as Defendant Tesla, Inc.

KEVIN COPPINGER: Parties Seek to Stay Class Certification Briefing
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as NATHAN CARON and ADAM
COCHRANE, on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated,
v. KEVIN COPPINGER, in his official capacity as Essex County
Sheriff, Case No. 1:25-cv-11075-GAO (D. Mass.), the Parties ask the
Court to enter an order staying further briefing on the Plaintiffs'
motion for class certification by 90 days, or until Feb. 5, 2026.
The parties believe they may be able to reach agreement on the
issue of class certification. Additionally, the parties have begun
to engage in settlement discussions, and believe it is more
efficient, and in the interest of judicial economy, to stay further
briefing on the Plaintiff's motion, to permit the parties to
explore agreement on the issue of class certification, or
resolution of the case more generally.
No party will be prejudiced by the allowance of this Motion, nor
will any other pretrial deadlines will be affected.
The Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on April 23, 2025. On that
same day, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification.
On Sept. 8, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion for enlargement
of time for the Defendant to respond to the Plaintiff's motion for
class certification and for the Plaintiffs to file any reply, by 60
days, to Nov. 7, 2025.

LANTHEUS HOLDINGS: Continues to Defend "Margolis" in New York
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lantheus Holdings, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it continues to defend
itself against a s putative securities class action styled Margolis
v. Lantheus Holdings, Inc., et al., pending in a New York court.
On September 9, 2025, an alleged stockholder of the Company
initiated a putative securities class action against the Company in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, styled Margolis v. Lantheus Holdings, Inc., et al. The
operative complaint also asserts claims against certain of the
Company's named executives.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants made materially false or
misleading statements (or omitted material facts) in violation of
the Exchange Act. Under the operative scheduling order in the case,
members of the putative class of stockholders have an opportunity
to move the court for appointment as lead plaintiff, after which
there is an opportunity for the lead plaintiff to file an amended
complaint.
Because the outcome of litigation is uncertain, the Company cannot
predict how or when this matter will ultimately be resolved.
LEAFFILTER NORTH: Bid to Alter Judgment in Christian Suit Tossed
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JUNE CHRISTIAN, et al., v.
LEAFFILTER NORTH, LLC, Case No. 3:25-cv-02866-CRB (N.D. Cal.), the
Hon. Judge Breyer entered an order denying the Defendant's motion
to alter judgment denying the defendant's motion to alter
judgment.
The Defendant moves to alter this Court's order dismissing the case
for a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. While Defendant points
to potential tension between the Court's decision and Ninth Circuit
law regarding jurisdiction conferred by the Class Action Fairness
Act (CAFA), the Court's decision that it lacked jurisdiction was
not manifest error and is in accord with both circuit precedent and
CAFA. Accordingly, the Court denies the motion.
Accordingly, the Court finds the Defendant has failed to
demonstrate the Court's dismissal for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction was manifest error.
Because the Court did not commit manifest error, it would be more
efficient for Plaintiffs to continue seeking appellate review.
The Plaintiffs brought a purported class action against Defendant
arguing that its sales and marketing tactics violated the Federal
Trade Commission Act and California law.

BACA, individually, and in his official capacity; JORGE PADILLA,

individually, and in his official capacity; and DOES 1 through 10,
inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 2:25-cv-10318 (C.D. Cal., October
27, 2025) is a class action complaint against the Defendants for
creating, maintaining, and otherwise facilitating a policy,
practice or custom which caused Plaintiffs' injuries in violation
of one or more federal constitutional guarantees. The Plaintiffs
also bring state law claims based on respondeat superior under
California Government Code.
The complaint relates that since March of 2006, the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department has designated the Century Regional
Detention Facility ("CRDF"), located at 11705 S. Alameda Street, in
Lynwood CA as an all-female jail. The action challenges the
systemic and ongoing practice which concerns the cross-gender
viewing of completely nude female inmates by male correctional
officers in shower facilities located in the CRDF's administrative
segregation module, commonly known as "the hole".
Specifically, the challenged practice concerns male correctional
officers' acts of voyeurism in the CRDF's shower facilities, which
historically and routinely involves the unobstructed viewing of the
entire bodies of completely female inmates when they are taking
showers in shower stalls located in or around the administrative
segregation module. This systemic and ongoing practice has become
so widespread within the CRDF that there is a historically
designated area adjacent to the shower stalls located in the
administrative segregation module which is commonly referred to as
the "cop shop" by both female inmates and correctional officers,
which allows a completely unobstructed view of the entire bodies of
female inmates taking showers.
This practice deprived Plaintiffs of their rights; and they,
therefore, seek injunctive relief on behalf of themselves and the
class of similarly situated individuals, adds the complaint.
Plaintiffs and class representatives Dawn Thalacher, Jessica
Costello, Brianna Espinoza, Esperanza Farfan, Desiree Fossett,
Sandy Gonzales, Heather Johnson, and Heaven Parker are women who
were formerly incarcerated at the Century Regional Detention
Facility.
Plaintiffs and class representatives Brianna Avila, Xochiketzall

MDL 3111: Bid for Final OK of Class Settlement Tossed
-----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned Re: Capital One 360 Savings
Account Interest Rate Litigation, Case No. 1:24-md-03111 (E.D.
Va.), the Hon. Judge David Novak entered an order denying motion
for final approval of class action settlement.
The Court directs the parties to engage in further settlement
negotiations to remedy the flaws in the proposed settlement
highlighted by the Court. Let the Clerk file a copy of this Order
electronically and notify all counsel of record to include counsel
for the New York Attorney General's Office, as well as the Special
Master.
The Court further notes that, even if it accepted Capital One's
contrary position that the continuing 360 Savings account holders
knowingly remain in these accounts despite the significantly lower
interest income available to them, the proposed settlement would
still fail Rule 23 muster.
Capital is an American bank holding company.

MEDICREDIT INC: Seeks Leave to File Class Cert Sur-Reply
--------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JASON SAGGIO and JUDE
FURR, v. MEDICREDIT, INC, Case No. 4:22-cv-01005-JAR (E.D. Mo.),
the Defendant asks the Court to enter an order granting motion for
leave to file sur-reply to the Plaintiff's reply in support of
motion for class certification.
Medicredit requests that the Court grant the Motion for Leave to
file sur-reply and consider the arguments raised therein in making
a determination on Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification.
The sur-reply would highlight the Plaintiffs' own admission that
the Court should conduct individual mini-trials for each
prospective class member so that they can provide "proof of the
date that they were assigned their telephone numbers."
The sur-reply would also address the Plaintiff's statement that,
"even Medicredit must itself concede the Plaintiffs' proposed
process passes muster."
The Plaintiffs’ argument is disingenuous given that it references
an unchallenged "settlement class," which is not binding on the
Court or Medicredit in this case.
The Plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification under
Rule 23 on May 29, 2025.
Medicredit is a medical debt collection agency.

NVIDIA CORP: Seeks Leave to File Opposition Sur-Reply
-----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit re NVIDIA Corporation Securities
Litigation, Case No. 4:18-cv-07669-HSG (N.D. Cal.), the Defendants
ask the Court to enter an order granting motion for leave to file
sur-reply in opposition to the Plaintiffs' motion to certify class,
appointing class representatives, and appointing class counsel.
The Court should grant the Defendants leave to file a sur-reply
here. First, as in Pardi and FibroGen, Defendants have the burden
to rebut the Basic presumption. The Defendants rebutted that
presumption in their opposition brief by showing the absence of
price impact, the Defendants contend.
Second, Plaintiffs' Reply raises new arguments not found in their
operative Complaint, their Motion for Class Certification. The
Plaintiffs did not address individualized reliance in their opening
brief.
Nvidia is a multinational technology company known for its
pioneering work in GPU-accelerated computing and artificial
intelligence.

NVIDIA CORP: Seeks to File Class Exhibits Under Seal
----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned re NVIDIA Corporation
Securities Litigation, Case No. 4:18-cv-07669-HSG (N.D. Cal.), the
Defendants ask the Court to enter an order granting administrative
motion to file under seal certain exhibits filed in support of the
Defendants' sur reply in support of opposition to motion to certify
class, appoint class representatives, and appoint class counsel.
The Defendants have tailored their sealing requests as narrowly as
possible, and seek to seal only that information which, if publicly
disclosed, could cause competitive and business harm to Defendants,
or reveal personally identifiable information. For the foregoing
reasons, Defendants request the following information be sealed
from the public record:
Exhibits CCC, DDD, and EEE which were produced pursuant to the
Stipulated Protective Order in this case, are internal emails and
presentations containing NVIDIA's highly sensitive, confidential,
and non-public business and financial information, which detail and
discuss NVIDIA's business and product development process,
financial information, product and sales data, customer usage and
demand analyses, and marketing and pricing strategies.
The Defendants have narrowly applied redactions only to the
confidential portions of these documents, disclosure of which could
cause harm to NVIDIA's business and competitive interests.
Specifically, the confidential information Defendants seek to seal
was derived from non-public data and proprietary methodologies, and
disclosure of this granular level of detail would expose NVIDIA's
strategic priorities, judgments, and assumptions, which would allow
competitors to assess and exploit this information to NVIDIA's
detriment.
Nvidia is a multinational technology company known for its
pioneering work in GPU-accelerated computing and artificial
intelligence.

OSHKOSH CORP: Onalaska Sues Over Fire Truck Monopoly
----------------------------------------------------
CITY OF ONALASKA, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. OSHKOSH CORPORATION; REV GROUP,
INC.; ROSENBAUER AMERICA LLC; and FIRE APPARATUS MANUFACTURERS'
ASSOCIATION, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-01717-BBC (E.D. Wis.,
Nov. 4, 2025) alleges violation of the Sherman Act.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants are
engaged in a continuous and multi-faceted exchange of competitively
sensitive information through Fire Apparatus Manufacturers'
Association, which suppressed supply and price competition and
permitted the Defendants to monitor each other's adherence to the
conspiracy. FAMA collects nonpublic, competitively sensitive
information from members and then shares that information with
other members in a give-to-get information sharing scheme.
The Defendants facilitated, adhered to, participated in, aided and
abetted, and otherwise acted in concert with Defendants in order to
advance the objectives of the scheme to benefit Defendants and
themselves by artificially inflating the prices of Fire Trucks. Not
only have customers paid supercompetitive prices for Fire Trucks,
but fire fighters and communities across the United States have
suffered due to Defendants' anticompetitive conduct, says the
suit.
Oshkosh Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets fire and
emergency apparatuses, specialty commercial, and military trucks.
The Company provides products, such as pumpers, aerial and ladder
trucks, tankers, rescue vehicles, snow removal vehicles, refuse
truck bodies, and concrete mixers. [BN]

situated, Plaintiffs v. PARAMOUNT SKYDANCE CORPORATION; and PLUTO

alleges violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act, the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, and the California Invasion of Privacy
Act.
According to the complaint, each of the Plaintiffs' Children and
Class Members visited the Platform and had their Private Children's
Data tracked by Defendants using the Tracking Tools. However, the
Defendants never obtained authorization from Plaintiffs or Class
Members to share the Private Children's Data they collect with
third parties.
The Defendants collect personally identifying information from
minor users of the Platform without obtaining parental consent, and
simultaneously share that information with third parties, including
Google and Microsoft, in exchange for compensation in the form of
advertising, analytics, and marketing services. Then, that data is
subsequently used to make data profiles for advertising purposes,
says the suit.

PROGRESSIVE PREFERRED: Rodriguez Wins Bid for Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ANDREW RODRIGUEZ,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v.
PROGRESSIVE PREFERRED INSURANCE COMPANY, Case No.
1:25-cv-01086-SKC-STV (D. Colo.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to
enter an order granting the Plaintiff's motion for class
certification.
Accordingly, the case is suitable for class treatment: The
Plaintiff's claims are based on (1) identical contract language and
(2) uniform practices.
The Plaintiff claims Progressive breached its promise to
"determine" the ACV of their vehicles based on "the market value,
age, and condition of the vehicle."Progressive breached this
obligation by applying a discrete deduction -- the PSA -- to reduce
insureds' total-loss payments below market value.
The case challenges Progressive's uniform use of so-called
"Projected Sold Adjustment" ("PSA"), a fabricated deduction applied
to the valuations of comparable vehicles used to calculate actual
case value payments for total-loss vehicles.
Thus, the Plaintiffs seek certification of a class of Colorado
insured whose total-loss claims were reduced by the invalid PSA
deduction.
Progressive provides insurances services.

RICOH USA: Mike the Printer Seeks Rule 23 Class Certification
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MIKE THE PRINTER, INC., a
California corporation, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, v. RICOH USA, INC., a Delaware corporation,
Case No. 2:24-cv-08192-JFW-JC (C.D. Cal.), the Plaintiff, on Dec.
8, 2025, will move under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 for
class certification.
The Plaintiff seeks an order:
1. Certifying a class action under Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure ("Rules") 23 on the grounds that the Class (1) is
so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable, (2)
there are common questions and answers of law and fact to the
Class, (3) the class representative's claims are typical of
the claims of the Class, and (4) the class representative and
proposed Class Counsel will fairly and adequately protect and
represent the interests of the Class.
2. Determining that the class treatment is appropriate under
Rule 23(b)(3) because common questions of law and fact to the
class predominate, the class method is superior, and class
treatment is manageable.
3. Certifying the following Class and Subclass:
"All customers of Ricoh in the United States where (1) their
contract contains an Annual Price Increase limit using the
API Form Provision and (2) Ricoh charged the customer an
annual price increase percentage greater than the percentage
stated in the customer’s contract."
The Subclass:
"All members of California who are located in California
according to Ricoh's records."
A California subclass bringing the California section 17200 claim
will be California-based customers.
4. Finding the Plaintiff to be an adequate representative of the
Class and Subclass and certifying Plaintiff as the class
representative herein.
5. Finding the Plaintiff's counsel, namely Panish Shea Ravipudi
LLP, as adequate class counsel and certifying them as class
counsel.
6. Ordering Ricoh to disclose Class and Subclass contact
information to Plaintiff's counsel.
7. Ordering the Parties to submit a class notice for approval by
the Court under Rule 23(c)(2)(B).
This class action arises out of allegations that Ricoh breached a
form provision in a form contract regarding its right to increase
rates after a fixed period of fixed service charges.
Ricoh is an information management and digital services company.

ROCKET MORTGAGE: Faces Class Suit Over Ignored Opt-Out Requests
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tez Romero, writing for MPA, reports that Rocket Mortgage faces
fresh allegations it ignored a consumer's opt-out request,
continuing telemarketing calls despite confirming she had been
unsubscribed from further contact.
A lawsuit filed November 12 in federal court in Florida claims the
nation's largest mortgage lender violated federal and state
telemarketing laws by calling a consumer twelve times after she
explicitly asked to stop receiving communications.
Hillary Wissart of Kissimmee, Florida, visited RocketMortgage.com
on October 9 to check current mortgage rates. Hours later, her
phone rang. A Rocket representative named Miguel Rodriguez left a
voicemail identifying himself as an executive banker who worked
with a partnership with Woodforce and wanted to go over incentives
and discounts.
Two minutes after the call, at 3:50 PM, Wissart received a text
from Rodriguez introducing himself as her dedicated team member
throughout her home financing journey. The message included
instructions to reply "STOP" to opt out.
She did exactly that, replying one minute later at 3:51 PM.
Rocket immediately sent a confirmation: "You have successfully been
unsubscribed. You will not receive any more messages from this
number."
But the calls kept coming, the lawsuit alleges. Over the next three
weeks, Wissart claims she received calls from the same Rocket
number on October 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, and
29. Rodriguez left another voicemail on October 23.
The alleged pattern raises questions about internal compliance
systems at one of the industry's most prominent lenders. Federal
regulations require telemarketers to honor a residential
subscriber's do-not-call request within a reasonable time not to
exceed ten business days. Multiple calls allegedly continued well
beyond that window.
The lawsuit asserts Rocket failed to institute proper procedures
for maintaining a list of persons who request not to receive
telemarketing calls. All the calls, voicemails, and text messages
came from the same phone number, suggesting the opt-out request
failed to propagate through Rocket's contact systems.
Wissart is not and never has been a Rocket customer. She uses her
cellular number solely for personal calls and messages at her home.
The filing notes Rocket has been sued fifty-five other times in
federal court for TCPA violations. That litigation history suggests
either widespread consumer complaints or concentrated plaintiff
attorney focus on the lender's marketing practices.
Wissart seeks to represent two classes of similarly situated
individuals. The first would include all people nationwide who are
not Rocket customers, who sent an opt-out text, and who received
more than one subsequent call within twelve months during the four
years from filing through class certification. The second focuses
on Florida residents meeting similar criteria who received any
calls after opting out during the same timeframe.
The lawsuit estimates the classes likely exceed ten thousand
members.
The case invokes both the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act
and Florida's Telephone Solicitation Act. Under those statutes,
violations carry penalties of five hundred dollars per unlawful
call, rising to fifteen hundred dollars if a court finds the
conduct was knowing or willful.
For mortgage lenders, the case underscores persistent compliance
challenges in an industry heavily reliant on telephone and text
message outreach for lead generation. As marketing technology grows
more sophisticated, maintaining accurate suppression lists across
multiple communication channels remains a regulatory concern.
No court has yet made any determination on the allegations. Rocket
Mortgage has not filed a response. [GN]
SALESFORCE INC: Alexander Suit Alleges Copyright Infringement
-------------------------------------------------------------
TASHA ALEXANDER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. SALESFORCE, INC., Defendant, Case No.
3:25-cv-09560 (N.D. Cal., Nov. 5, 2025) is an action alleging that
the Defendant infringed millions of registered copyrighted works to
build its CodeGen and xGen Large Language Models ("LLMs") and
commercial artificial intelligence ("AI") products, including
Agentforce.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, Salesforce downloaded
pirated copies of their works, copied and stored these works, and
used them to train its models to generate human-like text and
images, which has and is displacing and diluting the market for the
Plaintiff's works.
Salesforce did not seek permission or pay for the copyrighted works
it uses, rather Salesforce willfully exploits the works without
authorization to build and train its LLMs and power its Agentforce
AI product, says the suit.
Salesforce, Inc. operates as a cloud-based software company. The
Company develops customer relationship management software and
applications focused on sales, customer service, marketing
automation, analytics, and application development. [BN]

SIX FLAGS: City of Livonia Sues Over Drop in Share Price
--------------------------------------------------------
CITY OF LIVONIA EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SIX FLAGS
ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION; RICHARD A. ZIMMERMAN; SELIM BASSOUL;
GARY MICK; LOUIS CARR; MICHELLE FRYMIRE; DANIEL HANRAHAN; CHIEH
HUANG; JENNIFER MASON; ENRIQUE RAMIREZ MENA; D. SCOTT OLIVET; ARIK
RUCHIM; and MARILYN SPIEGEL, Defendants, Case No. 3:25-cv-02394
(N.D. Ohio, Nov. 5, 2025) alleges violation of the Securities Act
of 1933.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff and the Class purchased
or acquired Six Flags common stock pursuant or traceable to the
Company's registration statement and prospectus issued in
connection with the July 1, 2024 merger of legacy Six Flags
Entertainment Corporation ("Legacy Six Flags") with Cedar Fair,
L.P. ("Cedar Fair"), and their subsidiaries and affiliates.
Cedar Fair and Legacy Six Flags combined two amusement park
behemoths in a "merger of equals" to create North America's largest
regional amusement park operator with a property portfolio of
approximately 40 amusement parks and water parks, along with
several resort properties (the "Merger").
The press release and reporting of the Defendants were materially
false and misleading when made because they failed to disclose the
following adverse facts that existed at the time of the Merger: (a)
that Legacy Six Flags had underinvested in its parks and
operations, deferring or foregoing basic park maintenance,
operational improvements, infrastructure repairs, and ride design
and development for several years prior to the Merger; (b) that
Legacy Six Flags needed to make millions of dollars' worth of
undisclosed capital and operational expenditures above the
company's historical cost trends in order to maintain or grow
Legacy Six Flags' share in the intensely competitive amusement park
market; (c) that, due to the massive, undisclosed capital needs of
Legacy Six Flags and the deleterious effects of years of chronic
disinvestment by the company, the revenue, earnings, cash flow,
capital and operational investments, cost reductions, balance sheet
improvements, and debt reduction plans presented to investors in
the Registration Statement were not reasonably achievable or rooted
in facts existing at the time of the Merger; and (d) that, as a
result, the ostensible rationale for the Merger and its purported
benefits lacked any reasonable factual basis.
On the Merger closing date, July 1, 2024, Six Flags stock traded
above $55 per share. The price of Six Flags stock subsequently fell
as low as $20 per share, a nearly 64% decline, the suit asserts.
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation operates regional theme parks.
The Company has parks comprised of theme, water, and zoological
parks. [BN]

SPOTIFY USA: Capolongo Sues Over Deceptive Business Practices
-------------------------------------------------------------
GENEVIEVE CAPOLONGO, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SPOTIFY USA INC., Defendant, Case
No. 1:25-cv-09216 (S.D.N.Y., Nov. 4, 2025) alleges violation of the
New York General Business Law.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that Spotify is engaged in
deceptive acts and practices by misrepresenting that its playlists
and recommendations were neutral, merit-based, and personalized to
users' tastes, when in reality they were shaped by undisclosed
commercial incentives and pay-for-play arrangements.
Spotify further engaged in deceptive practices by marketing its
playlists as "personalized," "made just for you," and "based on
your listening habits" while concealing that major-label tracks and
commercially prioritized songs would be favored regardless of user
preference, alleges the suit.
The Plaintiff and Class members reasonably relied upon Spotify's
false advertising in deciding to subscribe to and use Spotify. Had
Plaintiff and Class members known the truth, they would not have
paid for the service or would have paid less, the suit added.
Spotify USA Inc. provides an entertainment software. The Company
offers platform that enables users to find music on their phones,

SPROUT SOCIAL: Awaits Court Ruling on Bid to Junk Securities Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sprout Social, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it is awaiting ruling from
an Illinois court of its motion to dismiss a consolidated
securities fraud class action.
Beginning on May 13, 2024, the Company and certain of its
executives were named in two putative securities fraud class action
cases filed in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5.
The first action, captioned Munch v. Sprout Social, Inc., et al.
was filed on May 13, 2024 and alleged that the defendants made
false or misleading statements and omissions of fact relating to
the Company's business, operations and prospects, including (i)
purported integration challenges arising from the Company's August
2023 acquisition of Tagger Media, Inc. ("Tagger"), (ii) the
Company's ability to service (and the viability of its strategic
plan to focus on) the enterprise market, and (iii) as a result, the
Company's 2024 financial guidance was required to be adjusted
downward.
The Munch complaint sought damages and costs on behalf of a
putative class of Company stockholders from November 3, 2023
through and including May 2, 2024. The second case, captioned City
of Hollywood Police Officers' Retirement System v. Sprout Social,
Inc., et al (the "City of Hollywood Action"), was filed in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
on July 2, 2024. It asserted claims under the same statutory
provisions based on substantially similar allegations of misconduct
as its predecessor, but alleged a class period beginning on
November 3, 2021 and ending on May 2, 2024.
On November 12, 2024, the court appointed the Employees' Retirement
System for the City of Baltimore (the "City of Baltimore"), who had
been substituted as the named plaintiff in the City of Hollywood
action, as the Lead Plaintiff under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"). The court subsequently
consolidated the two cases (the "Consolidated Securities Action")
on December 13, 2024.
On January 24, 2025, the City of Baltimore filed an amended
Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the "AC"). The AC retains the
original defendants, but adds Jason Rechel, Sprout Social's former
head of Investor Relations, as an individual defendant.
The AC makes similar allegations to those asserted in the City of
Hollywood Action and adds additional allegations, including
purported statements attributed to 15 anonymous confidential
witnesses. Most of these individuals are described in the AC as
former Sprout Social sales representatives. It claims that the
defendants failed to disclose that the Company lacked the
infrastructure to successfully implement its strategic shift to the
enterprise business market, which purportedly rendered positive
statements about enterprise business generation and prospects, and
Sprout Social's financials, misleading. More specifically, the AC
alleges that (1) Sprout Social's "inbound" sales strategy model,
which it also applied to enterprise sales efforts, was not
effective for generating enterprise business; (2) Sprout Social's
platform lacked certain features valued by large clients; (3)
Sprout Social's partnership with Salesforce would not necessarily
increase Sprout Social's enterprise business; and (4) Sprout
Social's emphasis on ARR as a key metric for financial performance
was misleading, given Sprout Social's own abandonment of the metric
as a viable performance indicator.
The AC alleges a slightly longer class period than that alleged in
the City of Hollywood Action, beginning on September 22, 2021, and
ending on May 2, 2024 (the City of Hollywood Action alleged class
period that began on November 3, 2021 and ended on May 2, 2024).
On March 25, 2025, defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss (the
"Motion") the AC in its entirety. On May 23, 2025, Lead Plaintiff
filed a brief in opposition to this Motion. Defendants filed a
reply brief in further support of the Motion on July 17, 2025. The
court has yet to issue any ruling on the Motion. Under the PSLRA,
discovery and other proceedings in the Consolidated Securities
Action are automatically stayed pending such a ruling.
SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY: To Pay $112MM Over Detention of Immigrants
--------------------------------------------------------------
Denise Civiletti, writing for Riverhead Local, reports a federal
jury has ordered Suffolk County to pay $112 million in damages to
hundreds of immigrants who were unlawfully detained in county jails
at the request of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
between July 2014 and November 2018.
The jury verdict reached last Friday, November 14, found the county
liable for $75 million in connection with the unlawful detention in
violation of constitutional protection against detention without
probable cause or a warrant signed by a judge.
The jury last week also found that the plaintiffs were denied
adequate procedural due process in connection with their detention
and fixed damages for that claim at $37 million.
Federal District Court Judge William Kuntz II ruled in January that
Suffolk County's practice of holding detainees based only on
federal civil detainer requests violated both the Fourth Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution. The
court granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs.
Suffolk County appealed and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit dismissed the appeal ruling that the judgment being
appealed from was not a final order. Now that there is a final
order, an appeal is possible and will likely be taken.
The case, Orellana Castañeda et al. v. County of Suffolk and
Suffolk County Sheriff's Office et al., is a class-action lawsuit
filed in 2017 on behalf of 674 plaintiffs by LatinoJustice PRLDEF
and the law firm Winston & Strawn. It challenged Suffolk County's
practice of unlawfully holding individuals in county jails after
they should have been released -- because their bail had been
posted or their case had been resolved -- for the sole purpose of
facilitating a direct handover to immigration enforcement
authorities.
"This decision brings long-overdue accountability," Jose Perez,
deputy general counsel at LatinoJustice PRLDEF said in a statement.
"The jury confirmed what we have argued all along, that Suffolk
County's actions trampled the basic due process rights guaranteed
under the 14th Amendment."
The lawsuit does not address current county policy.
Former Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DiMarco directed that the
Suffolk County jail would honor ICE detainers accompanied by a
Department of Homeland Security warrant of
arrest/removal/deportation and that prisoners subject to the ICE
detainers would be "held for up to 48 hours after the time the
prisoner would otherwise be released."
A 2018 New York State appellate court decision determined that the
Suffolk Sheriff lacked the authority to detain the prisoners
pursuant to ICE detainers and administrative warrants. DeMarco's
successor, Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. directed that the practice be
immediately discontinued. [GN]
TALL TIMBERS: Must File Class Cert Opposition by Dec. 5
-------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as STACIE SMITH, individually
and on behalf of similarly situated persons, v. TALL TIMBERS PIZZA
HUT, INC., Case No. 6:24-cv-00349-JCB-JDL (E.D. Tex.), the Hon.
Judge Love entered an order granting the Defendant's unopposed
motion for additional time to submit its opposition to the
Plaintiff's motion for certification, for disclosure of contact
information, and to send notice.
Accordingly, the Defendant's opposition shall be due by and
including Dec. 5, 2025.
Tall is a local franchise of Pizza Hut.

TALL TIMBERS: Seeks More Time to Oppose Class Cert Bid
------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as STACIE SMITH, individually
and on behalf of similarly situated persons, v. TALL TIMBERS PIZZA
HUT, INC., Case No. 6:24-cv-00349-JCB-JDL (E.D. Tex.), the
Defendant asks the Court to enter an order granting the unopposed
motion and extending the deadline to file its opposition to the
Plaintiff's motion for certification, disclosure of contact
information, and notice to Dec. 5, 2025.
Good cause exists for this extension. Plaintiff’s motion raises
complex factual and legal issues, and the proposed class
encompasses delivery drivers from over forty (40) distinct store
locations across Texas, subject to various factors that impact each
location and/or the individual potential drivers. Defendant
requires additional time to evaluate the motion, compile relevant
data, and prepare a thorough response that will assist the Court in
its consideration. This additional time also allows the Counsels to
discuss the information garnered for possible agreement on certain
terms for proceeding in the litigation.
6. Additionally, the requested extension accounts for the upcoming
Thanksgiving holiday, which will impact the availability of
personnel and resources necessary to prepare the response.
Granting this extension will not affect any other deadlines in the
case. The Amended Docket Control Order (Doc. 33) remains in effect,
and trial is not scheduled until September 21, 2026.
The Plaintiff does not oppose this request.
The Plaintiff initiated this action under the Fair Labor Standards
Act ("FLSA") on behalf of all delivery drivers employed by
Defendant, seeking recovery of alleged unpaid minimum wages and
other damages.
The Plaintiff seeks to proceed as a collective action under 29
U.S.C. section 216(b) and has moved to certify the following class:
"All current and former delivery drivers employed by the
Defendant at any time during the three years preceding the
filing of the Complaint to the present."
Tall is a local franchise of Pizza Hut.

TASKUS INC: Court Recommends Final OK of Settlement in Lozada
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as HUMBERTO LOZADA and
OKLAHOMA FIREFIGHTERS PENSION AND RETIREMENT SYSTEM, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. TASKUS, INC,
BRYCE MADDOCK, JASPAR WEIR, BALAJI SEKAR, AMIT DIXIT, MUKESH MEHTA,
SUSIR KUMAR, JACQUELINE D. RESES, and BCP FC AGGREGATOR L.P., Case
No. 1:22-cv-01479-JPC-GS (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Stein
recommends that Judge Cronan:
(1) grant the Plaintiffs' final approval of Class Action
Settlement and Approval of Plan of Allocation motion;
(2) grant the Plaintiffs' fees and expenses motion; and
(3) sign the proposed final judgment, the proposed plan of
allocation order, and the proposed fee award order in the
form attached hereto.
Accordingly, the Court concludes that Plaintiffs' counsel's
requested fee of $5.25 million is fair and reasonable under the
percentage method as analyzed under the Goldberger factors and as
confirmed by a lodestar cross-check.
As the Court finds that the requested payments for attorneys' fees,
litigation expenses, and costs and expenses of the Class
Representatives, respectively, are reasonable, it recommends that
the Fees and Expenses Motion be granted.
This is a federal securities class action brought on behalf of
shareholders of TaskUs.
The Plaintiffs allege that Defendants made misrepresentations in
registration statements issued in connection with TaskUs's initial
public offering in June 2021 (the "IPO") and in connection with a
secondary offering in October 2021 (the "Secondary Offering").
The Plaintiffs seek approval to distribute the following amounts
from the $17.5 million settlement fund: (1) $5.25 million in
attorneys' fees to the Plaintiffs' counsel; (2) $924,556 in
litigation expenses incurred by the Plaintiffs' counsel; and (3)
$16,750 in awards to the two Class Representatives pursuant to 15
U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(4).
TaskUs is a digital service outsourcing company.

TRANS UNION: Files Renewed Bid to Seal Certain Exhibits
-------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as LESLEY KAPLAN, on behalf
of herself and all others similarly situated, v. TRANS UNION, LLC,
et al., Case No. 2:24-cv-02438-WB (E.D. Pa.), the Defendants ask

The Defendant submits this Renewed Motion to place under seal six
documents identified as exhibits to the Plaintiff's motion for

Plaintiff's motion for class certification, as well as to redact
confidential information from an additional seven exhibits and two
memoranda of law.
The Defendant's memorandum of law in support of its renewed motion

proposed to be sealed, the legitimate public or private interests
that warrant sealing those documents, the clearly defined and
serious injury that would result if not sealed, and why a less
restrictive alternative to sealing is not available. These
submissions thereby comply with Local Rule 5.1 and Avandia, as

TRONOX HOLDINGS: Faces Securities Suit in Connecticut
-----------------------------------------------------
Tronox Holdings PLC disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it is named a defendant in
a putative class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for
the District of Connecticut.
On September 3, 2025, a putative class action was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company
and certain individual defendants. The complaint alleges that
defendants violated the U.S. federal securities laws by making
false and misleading statements in public filings and other public
statements during the period February 12, 2025 and July 30, 2025
with respect to the Company's financial outlook and demand for its
pigment and zircon products.
The case is in its very early stages. No specific amount of damages
has been alleged. The Company and the individual defendants intend
to defend themselves vigorously against this lawsuit.
TRUE FINANCE: Faces Class Suit Over "Predatory" Payday Loans
------------------------------------------------------------
Chloe Gocher of ClassAction.org reports that a proposed class
action lawsuit claims that True Finance's earned-wage access payday
loan product saddles active-duty servicemembers and their
dependents with triple- or quadruple-digit finance charges that, on
average, yield annual percentage rates well in excess of the legal
limit set by the federal Military Lending Act.
The 32-page lawsuit accuses True Finance of making no effort to
fulfill its obligation to determine whether it is extending a
payday loan to covered active-duty military servicemembers, or to
provide mandatory protections for such borrowers. According to the
case, the defendant's business model relies on "high-frequency,
short-term, and high-cost loans" to individuals living paycheck to
paycheck, and borrowers often incur "exorbitant finance charges"
that ultimately worsen their financial position.
The filing explains that earned-wage access (EWA) loans, such as
those offered by True Finance, like traditional payday loans, can
trap a borrower into a cycle of reborrowing and debt, all in serve
of generating revenue for predatory lenders. The suit contends that
the "substance of the transactions" between the defendant and
borrowers means the company's cash advances amount to consumer
credit.
The case alleges that True Finance's consumer credit agreements run
afoul of the Military Lending Act because the company charges
interest above the statutory 36 percent military annual percentage
rate cap, fails to provide certain requisite disclosures, and
requires access to borrowers' deposit accounts as security for the
loans.
According to the complaint, True Finance advertises its cash
advance products as "help[ing] millions of Americans who need a few
dollars in between paydays." Like most EWA providers, the case
says, True Finance promotes its products as "free" or with "no
interest."
However, the filing alleges that, while True Finance doesn't
expressly charge interest on its loans, the fintech company's
expedite fees and subscription costs are functionally the same as a
traditional payday loan's high interest rate, as they enable the
defendant to extract similar sums of money from already
economically vulnerable users, often trapping them in cycles of
debt.
The filing says that the fees associated with True Finance's cash
advance products, when viewed as costs of credit, reach an annual
percentage rate (APR) of 334 percent, comparable to that of the
extremely high interest rates associated with payday loans.
The expedite fees, the complaint explains, are charged on
instant-access loan funds, which True Finance calls Rapid Advances.
The fees are generally between $2.99 and $5.99, with larger fees
associated with larger loans, the suit says. While these fees are
technically optional, as customers are not required to request a
Rapid Advance to receive EWA services from True Finance, the
lawsuit argues that they are still incredibly common among True
Finance consumers, who are often living paycheck to paycheck and
cannot afford to wait the one to two business days the other Cash
Advance products would take to deliver the loaned money.
On the other hand, the subscription fees, the complaint states, are
required to use any of True Finance's services, and are charged
regardless of whether a borrower's Cash Advance requests are
approved. True Finance expressly states that it does not guarantee
the approval of any cash advance requests, the filing notes.
To determine a borrower's eligibility for a loan, True Finance uses
a third-party service called Plaid, which allows users' bank
accounts to be directly linked to True Finance and provides the
fintech company with, per the filing, "real time insights into a
borrower's income and employment… with a breakdown of earnings
from salaries, gig work and more."
The lawsuit contends that True Finance's eligibility assessment is
nearly identical to that of traditional payday loans, ensures that
True Finance is able to collect on cash advance repayment and fees
at least 97 percent of the time, and, due to the subscription-based
nature of the service, allows the fintech company to profit off of
both eligible and ineligible users.
Even with this eligibility screening process, the complaint alleges
that True Finance's EWA loan service still "traps consumers in
cycles of debt, worsens their financial circumstances, leads to
more overdraft fees and [brings them to] an ever-increasing
reliance on emergency funds from—and the fees that come
with—EWA loans."
The lawsuit cites an analysis from the Center for Responsible
Lending (CRL), which found that 33 percent of EWA product users
reborrow within two weeks of a loan the vast majority of the time,
suggesting that the reduction in their paycheck caused by loan
repayments and fees caused them to need yet another advance, or
loan, within the following pay period.
Even outside this subset, analysis determined that in general, EWA
product users, such as True Finance subscribers, repeatedly take
out advances, often on the same day as or the day after they've
repaid their previous advance, which puts them at much higher risk
of overdrafting their accounts and having to pay the subsequent
fees, the complaint relays. Specifically, the filing says, another
CRL study found that, on average, consumers who used an EWA product
saw a 56 percent increase in overdrafts of their checking
accounts.
Finally, the lawsuit alleges that, due to the near-identical
similarities between True Finance's services and traditional payday
loans, the rendering of its services to active-duty members of the
U.S. military is illegal under the Military Lending Act and the
Truth in Lending Act, and predatory in nature, preying on the
financial vulnerability of military servicemembers.
The True Finance class action lawsuit seeks to represent any
active-duty United States servicemembers and their dependents who
used a True Finance cash advance (or similar) product in which the
borrower incurred a finance charge, including a subscription charge
or a Rapid Advance fee. [GN]
TUSHY INC: Hogge Files Suit Over False Discount Prices
------------------------------------------------------
Bradford Hogge, individually and on behalf of all similarly
situated individuals; Natalie Hilburg, individually and on behalf
of all similarly situated individuals; and Tatiana Burnett,
individually and on behalf of all similarly situated individuals,
Plaintiffs vs. Tushy, Inc., a Delaware corporation; and Does 1-10,
inclusive; Defendants, Case No. 2:25-cv-10419 (C.D. Cal., October
29, 2025) is a class action complaint against the Defendants for
unfair, misleading, false, and deceptive business practices in
violation of California's False Advertising Law, California's
Consumer Legal Remedies Act, and California's Unfair Competition
Law.
The complaint relates that Defendant Tushy, Inc. advertises,
markets, and sells easy-to-install bidet attachments for toilets
and other related products directly to consumers. Most, if not all,
of Defendant's products are privately branded (i.e., Tushy
products), and almost all are sold by Defendant through its website
(www.hellotushy.com) or its Amazon storefront
(www.amazon.com/tushy). Like many businesses, Defendant often
advertises its products for sale with "discounts" off higher list
prices (or "Reference Prices") that it represents to be prices
formerly offered to the public on a regular basis for a reasonably
substantial period of time.
According to the complaint, Plaintiffs Hogee purchased one of
Defendant's products on February 18, 2023; Hilburg on June 16,
2024; and Burnett on April 16, 2024. They purchased the products
based on Defendant's false and misleading advertisement that the
product was discounted from a former or regular price that it was
never actually sold at during the relevant period. Thus,
Plaintiffs' and Class Members' reasonable expectations were not
met. Instead of receiving significant discounts as advertised,
Plaintiffs and Class Members received little to no discounts
because the "discounted" prices were actually the regular prices.
So, instead of receiving Products with market values equal to
Defendant's Reference Prices, they received items worth far less.
The Defendant's illegal advertisements have harmed consumers by
depriving them of their reasonably expected bargains, asserts the
complaint.
Plaintiffs Bradford Hogge, Natalie Hilburg, and Tatiana Burnett are
citizens of the State of California who purchased Defendant's
products.
Defendant Tushy, Inc. is the manufacturer and/or owner of its
privately branded Products. It is also the primary seller of the
Products and sets prevailing market prices for the Products.[BN]

UNITED STATES: Oregon Nonprofits Seek Immigration Suit Class Cert.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mia Maldonado of Oregon Capital Chronicle reports that the two
Oregon nonprofits that sued federal immigration agencies last month
have added another plaintiff to their suit and are asking the court
to stop federal agencies from blocking all people detained in
Oregon from access to their lawyers.
The Clear Clinic, a Portland-based legal nonprofit, and Pineros y
Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, Oregon's largest Latino labor
union, sued the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement and the ICE field office in Seattle, as well as
the leaders of each agency, in October alleging they are
purposefully denying people in detention centers access to their
lawyers before transferring them from Oregon to facilities in
Washington, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
The groups argue that under the U.S. Constitution, all detained
people regardless of their immigration status have the right to
speak with a lawyer before getting transferred.
The groups amended their complaint on Wednesday, November 12,
adding plaintiff Leon X, a 32-year-old resident of Oregon who came
to the United States from Mexico when he was 6 years old. He grew
up in Oregon's farmworker community, and he is using a pseudonym in
court documents to protect the details of his own immigration case,
according to the filing.
The plaintiffs' lawyers argue Leon X represents a class of people
who have been detained by ICE or are at risk of arrest for alleged
civil immigration violations in the District of Oregon. He and the
other plaintiffs are asking the court to stop federal immigration
authorities from blocking him, and others who might be detained by
ICE, from meeting with an attorney.
Innovation Law Lab Director of Legal Advocacy Tess Hellgren said
plaintiffs are asking the court to require that federal immigration
authorities give detainees access to their lawyers before they are
transferred out of the District of Oregon. Innovation Law Lab is a
nonprofit law firm representing the plaintiffs.
“Meaningful access to counsel requires notice, time and space to
actually consult with attorneys,” Hellgren said.
Immigration authorities detained more than 300 people in Oregon in
October, and there have been at least 150 detentions in November so
far, according to Innovation Law Lab.
Attorneys at Innovation Law Lab have filed 13 habeas corpus
petitions since June. These are court orders forcing law
enforcement authorities to justify a person's continued detention.
Many of those detained have been freed from ICE detention under
these petitions, including people who were detained outside their
immigration hearings, a wildland firefighter who was detained while
working at a remote and active fire and a wreath maker detained on
her way to work, according to Innovation Law Lab.
Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed since President Donald Trump
took office a second time, including 45 suits that the state of
Oregon is a part of challenging his executive orders that cut
federal funding historically meant for states, attempt to remove
birthright citizenship and impose tariffs.
This lawsuit is one of at least 72 suits that has been filed
against the Trump administration for its immigration enforcement
policies, according to the Associated Press' lawsuit tracker. [GN]
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: Bersani Sues Over Alleged Data Breach
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CHRISTIAN BERSANI, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA,
Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-06265 (E.D. Pa., Nov. 4, 2025) is a
class action against the Defendant for its failure to protect and
safeguard Plaintiff's and the Class's highly sensitive personally
identifiable information.
The Plaintiffs alleges in the complaint that as a result of the
Defendant's negligence and insufficient data security,
cybercriminals easily infiltrated Defendant's inadequately
protected email accounts on or around October 31, 2025, and
accessed the PII of Plaintiff and the Class.
The Defendant breached its duty and betrayed the trust of the
Plaintiff and Class Members by failing to properly safeguard and
protect their personal information, thus enabling cybercriminals to
access, acquire, appropriate, compromise, disclose, encumber,
exfiltrate, steal, misuse, and/or view it, says the suit.
The University of Pennsylvania is a private Ivy League research
university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. [BN]

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: Braund Sues Over Unprotected Info
-------------------------------------------------------------
WENDY BRAUND, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. THE TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA, Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-06291 (E.D. Pa., Nov. 5,
2025) is a class action against the Defendant for its failure to
properly secure and safeguard the Plaintiff's and Class Members'
personally identifiable information.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant failed to
adequately protect Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII –– and
failed to even encrypt or redact this highly sensitive data. This
unencrypted, unredacted PII was compromised due to Defendant's
negligent and careless acts and omissions, and its utter failure to
protect the sensitive data of its students, alumni, faculty, and
donors.
The harm resulting from a cyber-attack like this Data Breach
manifests in numerous ways, including identity theft and financial
fraud, and the exposure of an individual's PII due to a data breach
ensures that the individual will be at a substantially increased
and certainly impending risk of identity theft crimes compared to
the rest of the population, potentially for the rest of his or her
life, says the suit.

VAUGHAN MCLEAN: DeMetro Appeals Suit Dismissal to D.C. Circuit
--------------------------------------------------------------
KATHERINE DEMETRO, et al. are taking an appeal from a court order
dismissing the lawsuit entitled Katherine DeMetro, et al.,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiffs v. Vaughan McLean, LLC, et al., Defendants, Case No.
1:24-cv-02199-APM, in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia.
As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the suit,
which was removed from the Superior Court of the District of
Columbia to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,
is brought against the Defendants for violations of the District of
Columbia's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act of 1980 (TOPA).
On Jan. 6, 2025, the Defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss.
On Feb. 7, 2025, the Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify class,
which the Defendants jointly moved to strike on Feb. 21, 2025.
On Feb. 28, 2025, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file.
On Sept. 30, 2025, Judge Amit P. Mehta entered an Order granting
the Defendants' joint motion to dismiss. The Court ruled that the
Plaintiffs fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted
as to their TOPA claim.
The Plaintiffs' motion for class certification, the Defendants'
joint motion to strike, and the Plaintiffs' motion for leave to
late-file their motion to certify class are accordingly denied as
moot.
The appellate case is entitled Katherine DeMetro, et al. v. Vaughan
McLean, LLC, et al., Case No. 25-7175, in the United States Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, filed on October

VJC HOSPITALITY: Does Not Properly Pay Workers, Ferguson Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
SIMONE FERGUSON, individually and on behalf of all similarly
situated persons, Plaintiff v. VJC HOSPITALITY OF SNELLVILLE, INC.
d/b/a THE PATIO SOCIAL CLUB and VICTOR COMASTRO, Defendants, Case
No. 1:25-cv-06164-MHC (N.D. Ga., October 28, 2025) is a collective
action complaint against the Defendants for unlawful employment
practices, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The complaint relates that the Defendants employed Plaintiff as a
Server from June 24, 2024 until August 4, 2024. The Defendants
employ, and have employed in the statutory period, a number of
individuals as Servers, who they pay on an hourly basis and
classify as non-exempt under the FLSA. Throughout the relevant time
period, Defendants required Plaintiff and other Servers to work in
excess of 40 hours per workweek. They were also not required to
clock out at the end of their shifts but were often required to sit
for 30 to 60 minutes and wait for management to allow them to leave
following their shift. Despite working in excess of 40 hours most
workweeks, the Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff a rate of
one-and-one-half her regular rate of pay for all hours worked in
excess of 40, asserts the complaint.
The Defendants also regularly paid Plaintiff and other Servers a
base subminimum wage of $2.13 per hour, alleges the complaint. In
addition to the hourly wage, Plaintiff and other Servers received
tips from Defendants' customers for their service. However, at the
conclusion of each shift, Defendants' Point-of-Sale ("POS") system
automatically calculated 3% of Plaintiff's and other Servers' gross
sales and then automatically deducting this amount from the tips
the Server earned per shift, irrespective of the amount of tips the
Server earned and actually received each shift. The amount deducted
from Plaintiff and other Servers' tips was then distributed to
bartenders, kitchen staff, and the hookah servers. The Plaintiffs
were then required to tip out a second time, which percentage went
to hookah servers.
In addition, the Plaintiff alleges that she was required to
purchase multiple items for her work uniform. She and other Servers
were also required to purchase attire for the restaurant's special
events. In approximately mid-July 2024, she began raising her
concerns and complaining to Defendants about Defendants' pay
practices.
Due to Defendants' FLSA violations, Plaintiff is entitled to
recover from Defendants her unpaid overtime wages for each workweek
within the limitations period, an additional and equal amount of
liquidated damages, interest, and reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs of litigation, says the suit.
Plaintiff Simone Ferguson is a resident of the State of Georgia.

VOYA FINANCIAL: Continues to Defend "Ravarino"
----------------------------------------------
Voya Financial, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it continues to defend
itself against the case captioned Ravarino, et al. v. Voya
Financial, Inc., et al. (USDC District of Connecticut, No.
3:21-cv-01658)(filed December 14, 2021).
In this putative class action, the plaintiffs allege that the named
defendants breached their fiduciary duties of prudence and loyalty
in the administration of the Voya 401(k) Savings Plan.
The plaintiffs claim that the named defendants did not exercise
proper prudence in their management of allegedly poorly performing
investment options, including proprietary funds, and passed
excessive investment-management and other administrative fees for
proprietary and non-proprietary funds onto plan participants.
The plaintiffs also allege that the defendants engaged in
self-dealing through the inclusion of the Voya Stable Value Option
into the plan offerings and by setting the "crediting rate" for
participants' investment in the Stable Value Fund artificially low
in relation to Voya's general account investment returns in order
to maximize the spread and Voya's profits at the participants'
expense.
The complaint seeks disgorgement of unjust profits as well as costs
incurred. On June 13, 2023, the Court issued a ruling granting in
part and denying in part Voya's motion to dismiss. The court
largely dismissed the claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The
remaining claims concern allegations of breaches of the ERISA
prohibited transactions rule and a claim for failure to monitor the
Voya Small Cap Growth fund.
The Company continues to deny the allegations, which it believes
are without merit, and intends to defend the case vigorously.
WARNER BROS: Awaits Ruling on Bid to Dismiss Securities Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., disclosed in a Form 10-Q Report for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that it is awaiting court ruling
on its motion to dismiss the securities class action before a New
York court.
On November 25, 2024, a securities class action complaint was filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York (Collura v. Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., No.
1:24-cv-09027-KPF). The complaint named Warner Bros. Discovery,
Inc. ("WBD"), Gunnar Wiedenfels, and David M. Zaslav as defendants
and asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder. On February 21, 2025, the court appointed
co-lead plaintiffs (Anthony Yuson and Michael Steinberg) and
co-lead counsel (Pomerantz LLP and The Rosen Law Firm, P.A.) to
represent the putative class. On May 7, 2025, the lead plaintiffs
filed a First Amended Complaint against WBD, Gunnar Wiedenfels, and
David M. Zaslav. The First Amended Complaint generally alleges
that, between February 23, 2024 and August 7, 2024, defendants made
false and misleading statements in SEC filings and other public
disclosures relating to WBD's negotiations with the National
Basketball Association ("NBA") concerning its contractual rights to
broadcast the NBA's content and the potential impact of a failure
to renew the contract on its business, in violation of Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, and seeks
damages and other relief.
The defendants moved to dismiss on July 11, 2025. As of September
24, 2025, the motion has been fully briefed and is pending before
the court.
WENDY'S OF COLORADO: Cervantes Seeks ok of Renewed Class Cert Bid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as SALVADOR CERVANTES and
SHAWN RENTIE, individually and on behalf of all similarly situated
persons, v. WENDY'S OF COLORADO SPRINGS, INC., Case No.
1:24-cv-03462-CNS-MDB (D. Colo.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to
enter an order granting renewed motion for class certification.
The Plaintiffs request the Court to certify the class defined above
and appoint Plaintiffs and their counsel as representatives for the
class.
The Plaintiffs propose to use a straightforward methodology –
statistical sampling -- to fill in the damage calculation gap left
by the Defendant's lax record-keeping.
On May 2, 2022, the Court denied Plaintiffs' prior Motion for Class
Certification. Thereafter, Plaintiffs appealed and, on December 29,
2022, the Court of Appeals "reversed the court's order declining to
certify the proposed [class action and] remanded for further
proceedings consistent with this opinion and Hicks."
The class action concerns the thousands of low-wage workers who
prepared food and served customers in those restaurants. These
workers frequently missed the rest breaks required by Colorado
law2. To remedy these violations and ensure Defendant’s future
legal compliance, Plaintiffs ask the Court to certify a class
defined as:
"ALL CURRENT AND FORMER NON-EXEMPT HOURLY WORKERS WHO WORKED
FOR DEFENDANT IN COLORADO FROM SEPTEMBER 22, 2014, THROUGH
FINAL JUDGMENT."
The Defendant operated 40 Wendy's franchise restaurants.

Asbestos Litigation
ASBESTOS UPDATE: Lincoln Electric Defends 1,233 Exposure Claims
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc., as of September 30, 2025, was a
co-defendant in cases alleging asbestos induced illness involving
claims by approximately 1,233 plaintiffs, which is a net decrease
of 3 claims from those previously reported, according to the
Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
In each instance, the Company is one of a large number of
defendants. The asbestos claimants seek compensatory and punitive
damages, in most cases for unspecified sums. Since January 1, 1995,
the Company has been a co-defendant in asbestos cases that have
been resolved as follows: 57,155 of those claims were dismissed, 23
were tried to defense verdicts, 7 were tried to plaintiff verdicts
(which were reversed or resolved after appeal), 1 was resolved by
agreement for an immaterial amount and 1,021 were decided in favor
of the Company following summary judgment motions.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Otis Worldwide Estimates $11MM Total Liabilities
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Otis Worldwide Corporation has been named as defendants in lawsuits
alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and
unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is
approximately $11 million to $21 million as of September 30, 2025
and December 31, 2024. Since no amount within the range of
estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded
the minimum amount of $10 million (including $1 million of payments
made in the nine months ended September 30, 2025) and $11 million
as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which
is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are on a pre-tax
basis, not discounted, and exclude the Company's legal fees to
defend the asbestos claims (which will continue to be expensed as
they are incurred). In addition, the Company has an insurance
recovery receivable for probable asbestos-related recoveries of
approximately $3 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, which is principally included in Other assets on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Trane Tech. Faces Product Liability Lawsuits
-------------------------------------------------------------
Certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies of
Trane Technologies plc has been named as defendants in
asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts, according to
the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The Company states, "The vast majority of those claims were filed
against predecessors of Aldrich and Murray and generally allege
injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain
historical products sold by predecessors of Aldrich or Murray,
primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. None of the
Company's existing or previously-owned businesses were a producer
or manufacturer of asbestos."

sued individually and as successor-in-interest to THE SHULTON GROUP
and/or SHULTON INC., Defendants, Case No. CACE-25-016681 (Cir. Ct.,
Broward Cty., Fl., October 30, 2025) is a lawsuit against the
Defendants for negligence, misrepresentations, product defects,
fraudulent concealment, willful omissions, and fraud.
According to the complaint, the Decedent JOHN COLLEY was diagnosed
with MESOTHELIOMA on November 14, 2023, satisfying the criteria of
the Florida Asbestos and Silica Compensation Fairness Act. He died
on June 19, 2025. In the past, he required medical care, nursing
care or hospitalizations to treat his conditions and suffered a
loss of earnings, ability to earn money or his earning capacity was
impaired as a direct and proximate result of his asbestos-related
mesothelioma.
The Plaintiff alleges that JOHN COLLEY was exposed to Defendants'
Products from approximately the 1950s to the 2020s during
Decedent's regular and frequent personal use, and in his daily life
during his family members' regular and frequent use while in close
proximity to him, at various locations including, but not limited
to: in Madeira Beach, Florida and Boca Raton, Florida; in various
cities in the States of Arkansas, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia; and
in the United Kingdom. Although Plaintiff may identify the
designer, manufacturer, distributor, or seller of several
Defendants' Products to which the Decedent was exposed, Plaintiff
is unable to identify each and every exposure that Decedent
sustained in the various locations being mentioned.
As a direct and proximate result of the Decedent's diseases,
injuries and death, his survivors have further sustained mental
pain and suffering, mental anguish, grief, loss of capacity to lead
and enjoy a normal life, funeral expenses, and expenses of medical
care, nursing care and/or hospitalizations to treat Decedent's
conditions. Such damages, injuries and losses are permanent and
continuing in nature and Decedent's survivors will suffer the
aforementioned damages, injuries and losses in the future, says the
suit.
Accordingly, since each exposure to said Defendants' Products
caused or contributed to Decedent's mesothelioma and wrongful
death, and since it is not possible to apportion such damages,
Plaintiff CAROL COLLEY seeks recovery in accordance with Florida
law against each Defendant.
The survivors of JOHN COLLEY are his surviving spouse Plaintiff
CAROL COLLEY, his daughter Michelle Lowe, and his son Gareth
Colley.
Defendants are all engaged in the design, manufacture, distribution
and/or sale of asbestos-containing products, and/or
asbestos-containing talc and/or chalk, and/or other finished and
unfinished asbestos-containing talcum powder products, and/or any
other powder-like product.[BN]
