1-800-FLOWERS.COM: Dalton Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
--------------------------------------------------------------
Julie Dalton, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. 1-00-Flowers.com, Inc., Case No. 0:25-cv-04501-PJS-JFD
(D. Minn., Dec. 2, 2025), is brought arising because Defendant's
Website (www.1800flowers.com) (the "Website" or "Defendant's
Website") is not fully and equally accessible to people who are
blind or who have low vision in violation of both the general
non-discriminatory mandate and the effective communication and
auxiliary aids and services requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and its implementing regulations. In
addition to her claim under the ADA, Plaintiff also asserts a
companion cause of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act
(MHRA).
The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls its Website and is
responsible for the policies, practices, and procedures concerning
the Website's development and maintenance. As a consequence of her
experience visiting Defendant's Website, including in the past
year, and from an investigation performed on her behalf, Plaintiff
found Defendant's Website has a number of digital barriers that
deny screen reader users like Plaintiff full and equal access to
important Website content--content Defendant makes available to its
sighted Website users.
Still, Plaintiff would like to, intends to, and will attempt to
access Defendant's Website in the future to browse, research, or
shop online and purchase the products and services that Defendant
offers. The Defendant's policies regarding the maintenance and
operation of its Website fail to ensure its Website is fully
accessible to, and independently usable by, individuals with
vision-related disabilities. The Plaintiff and the putative class
have been, and in the absence of injunctive relief will continue to
be, injured, and discriminated against by Defendant's failure to
provide its online Website content and services in a manner that is
compatible with screen reader technology, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is and has been legally blind and is therefore
disabled under the ADA.
The Defendant offers flowers and gifts including, but not limited
to, floral arrangements, plants, gift baskets, keepsakes, and
more.[BN]

AMES H. BATMASIAN: Feltzin Sues Over Discriminative Property
------------------------------------------------------------

situated v. JAMES H. BATMASIAN and JEFE DEERFIELD LLC, Case No.
0:25-cv-62456-XXXX (S.D. Fla., Dec. 2, 2025), is brought for
injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and costs
pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") as a result
of the Defendant's discrimination against the individual Plaintiff
by denying him access to, and full and equal enjoyment of, the
goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and/or
accommodations of the commercial property.
Although over 33 years have passed since the effective date of
Title III of the ADA, Defendants have yet to make their facilities
accessible to individuals with disabilities. The Plaintiff found
the Commercial Property to be rife with ADA violations. The
Plaintiff encountered architectural barriers at the Commercial
Property and wishes to continue his patronage and use of the
premises.
The Plaintiff has encountered architectural barriers that are in
violation of the ADA at the subject Commercial Property. The
barriers to access at the Commercial Property have each denied or
diminished Plaintiff's ability to visit the Commercial Property and
have endangered his safety in violation of the ADA.
The Defendants have discriminated against the individual Plaintiff
by denying him access to, and full and equal enjoyment of, the
goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and/or
accommodations of the Commercial Property as prohibited by the ADA,
says the complaint.
The Plaintiff uses a wheelchair to ambulate.

Company continues to defend itself from the Corredor securities
class suit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York.
On December 4, 2024, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a
putative securities class action on behalf of purchasers of the
Company's securities between October 30, 2024 through November 26,
2024 against ASP Isotopes Inc. and certain of its executive
officers in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (Corredor v. ASP Isotopes Inc., et al., Case
No. 1:24-cv-09253 (S.D.N.Y)) (the "Securities Class Action").
The Securities Class Action alleges that the Company, its chief
executive officer and chief financial officer ("Defendants") made
materially misleading or false statements or omissions regarding
the Company's business and asserts purported claims under 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder.
The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorney's
fees and costs. On May 2, 2025, the Court appointed Mark Leone
("Leone") as lead plaintiff and directed the Clerk of court to
amend the caption to substitute Leone for Alexander Corredor as
plaintiff.
On May 2, 2025, the Court also appointed lead counsel and set
deadlines for filing an amended consolidated class action complaint
and briefing schedules for a motion to dismiss, if any, and class
certification.
On May 27, 2025, Leone and two additional named plaintiffs
("Plaintiffs") filed the amended class action complaint ("Amended
Complaint"), that asserts the same causes of action and seeks the
same relief as the initial complaint and is based upon
substantially similar factual allegations as the initial complaint.
On June 27, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended
Complaint. Also on June 27, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a motion for
class certification. On July 25, 2025, Plaintiffs filed an
opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss. Also on July 25, 2025,
Defendants filed an opposition to Plaintiffs' motion for class
certification.
Defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Securities Class
Action; however, the Company cannot be certain of the outcome and,
if decided adversely to the Company, its business and financial
condition may be adversely affected.

BITDEER TECHNOLOGIES: Sakar Sues Over Decline of Securities Price
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ISMAIL N. SAKAR, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. BITDEER TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, JIHAN WU, MATT
LINGHUI KONG, and HARIS BASIT, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-10069
(S.D.N.Y., December 4, 2025) is a class action against the
Defendants for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder.
According to the complaint, the Defendants made materially false
and misleading statements regarding Bitdeer's business, operations,
and prospects in order to trade Bitdeer securities at artificially
inflated prices between June 6, 2024 and November 10, 2025.
Specifically, the Defendants failed to disclose that the SEAL04
chip projected to have a chip-level energy efficiency of 5 J/TH
would be ready for use in the A4 rigs with an expected mass
production to begin in the second quarter 2025. Such statements
absent these material facts caused the Plaintiff and other
shareholders to purchase Bitdeer's securities at artificially
inflated prices.
When the truth emerged, the price of Bitdeer's stock declined from
a closing market price of $17.65 per share on November 10, 2025 to
$15.02 per share on November 11, 2025, a decline of more than 14
percent. As a result of the Defendants' wrongful acts and
omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the
company's securities, the Plaintiff and other Class members have
suffered significant losses and damages.

CALIFORNIA CASUALTY: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Amin Says
------------------------------------------------------------
MOHAMMED AMIN, individually and on behalf of all others similarly

CALIFORNIA CASUALTY GROUP, Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-10347 (N.D.
Cal., Dec. 2, 2025) is a class action arising from the Defendant's
failure to protect highly sensitive data of the Plaintiff and the
Class.
According to the complaint, the Defendant stores a litany of highly
sensitive personal identifiable information about its current and
former policyholders. But Defendant lost control over that data
when cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently protected
computer systems in a data breach.
The cybercriminals were able to breach the Defendant's systems
because Defendant failed to adequately train its employees on
cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards
or protocols to protect the Class's PII. In short, the Defendant's
failures placed the Class's PII in a vulnerable
position—rendering them easy targets for cybercriminals, says the
suit.

CAPITAL SAND: Briner Sues to Recover Unpaid Wages
-------------------------------------------------
Neil Briner, individually and for others similarly situated v.
CAPITAL SAND PROPPANTS, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-00207 (E.D. Mo., Dec.
3, 2025), is brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") to
recover unpaid wages and other damages from the Defendant.
The Defendant's Hourly Employees regularly work more than 40 hours
in a workweek. But the Defendant does not pay its Hourly Employees
at least 1.5 times their regular rates of pay--based on all
remuneration--for the hours they work in excess of 40 a workweek.
Instead, the Defendant pays its Hourly Employees non-discretionary
bonuses that it excludes from its employees' regular rates of pay
for overtime purposes (the "bonus pay scheme").
The Defendant's bonus pay scheme violates the FLSA and Missouri law
by failing to compensate the Plaintiff and the other Hourly
Employees at least 1.5 times their regular rates of pay--based on
all remuneration—for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a week,
says the complaint.
The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendant as a foreman in
Missouri from June 2017 until May 2025.

CHARGEPOINT HOLDINGS: Faces Consolidated Shareholder Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended October 31, 2025, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2025, that a class action
lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws was filed on
November 29, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California against the company and certain of its
former officers. On May 16, 2024, the court consolidated the Class
Actions into one action captioned "Khan v. ChargePoint Holdings,
Inc., et al.," Case No. 23-cv-06172-PCP, appointed two lead
plaintiffs, and appointed lead counsel.
The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of purchasers of the
company's common stock between June 1, 2023 and November 16, 2023
and alleges that the Class Defendants made materially false and
misleading statements regarding component costs and supply overruns
for DC charging products which resulted in impairment charges and
an adverse impact on profitability. A second class action lawsuit
asserting the same claims and premised on the same underlying
allegations, which purports to be on behalf of purchasers of the
company's stock between December 7, 2021 and November 16, 2023, was
filed against the Class Defendants on January 22, 2024.
The complaints sought unspecified monetary damages and other
relief. On July 19, 2024, Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated
Amended Complaint which purports to be on behalf of purchasers of
the company's stock between December 7, 2021 and November 16, 2023.
This Consolidated Amended Complaint alleges that the class
defendants made materially false and misleading statements in
violation of Section 10(b) and Rule 10(b)-5 of the Securities and
Exchange Act regarding ChargePoint's handling of supply chain
disruptions, its revenue and the value of its inventory. Lead
Plaintiffs also allege the Class Defendants engaged in a scheme to
prematurely recognize revenue in violation of Sections 10(a) and
(c) of the Securities and Exchange Act. The Class Defendants filed
a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint on September
17, 2024, and the motion is fully briefed. The motion to dismiss
was scheduled to be heard on July 16, 2025 but on July 8, 2025,
pursuant to the parties' stipulation, the court vacated the hearing
so Plaintiffs could file a Second Amended Complaint, which they did
on July 22, 2025.
The Second Amended Complaint alleged the same claims based on the
same theories as the consolidated amended complaint, but names an
additional former officer as a defendant and added additional
challenged statements made within the same Class Period.
The class defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended
complaint on September 17, 2025, which is fully briefed and under
submission. A case management conference is scheduled for February
24, 2026.

CHECKERS DRIVE-IN: Espinoza Sues Over Discriminative Website
------------------------------------------------------------
Alejandro Espinoza, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated v. CHECKERS DRIVE-IN RESTAURANTS, INC., a
Foreign Profit Corporation D/B/A CHECKERS & RALLY'S, Case No.
1:25-cv-25658-FAM (S.D. Fla., Dec. 3, 2025), is brought under the
Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), as a result of the
Defendant's discriminative website.
The Defendant was and still is an organization owning and operating
the website located at https://checkersandrallys.com. Since the
website is open through the internet to the public as an extension
of the retail stores, by this nexus the website is an intangible
service, privilege and advantage of Defendant's brick and mortar
locations, the Defendant has subjected itself and the associated
website it created and maintains to the requirements of the ADA.
The website also services Defendant's physical stores by providing
information on its brand and other information that Defendant is
interested in communicating to its customers about its physical
locations.
Although the Website appeared to have an "accessibility" statement
displayed and an "accessibility" widget/plugin added, the
"accessibility" statement and widget/plugin, when tested, still
could not be effectively accessed by, and continued to be a barrier
to, blind and visually disabled persons, including Plaintiff as a
completely blind person. Plaintiff, although she attempted to
access the statement, thus, was unable to receive any meaningful or
prompt assistance through the "accessibility" statement and the
widget/plugin to enable her to quickly, fully, and effectively
navigate the Website, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff uses the computer regularly, but due to his visual
disability, Plaintiff cannot use his computer without the
assistance of appropriate and available auxiliary aids, screen
reader software, and other technology and assistance.

CHEVRON CORP: Herold Balks at Unlawful Inflated Gas Prices
----------------------------------------------------------
KEN HEROLD, GINA STABILE, LYNN ELIAS, MICHAEL SIMMONS, ROBERT
LASIEWICZ, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiffs v. CHEVRON CORPORATION; CHEVRON U.S.A, INC.;
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION; VALERO REFINING COMPANY-CALIFORNIA;
ULTRAMAR, INC.; PBF ENERGY INC.; MARTINEZ REFINING COMPANY LLC;
TORRANCE REFINING COMPANY LLC; MARATHON PETROLEUM COMPANY LP; and
PHILLIPS 66 COMPANY, Defendants, Case No. 3:25-cv-10282 (N.D. Cal.,
November 26, 2025) is a putative class action challenging an
unlawful scheme by the five largest oil refiners operating in
California to inflate the reported compliance cost of the state's
Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program, and to pass those inflated
costs on to California consumers through increased gasoline prices
in violation of the Sherman Act and the Cartwright Act.
According to the complaint, each month, Defendants Chevron, Valero,
PBF, Marathon, and Phillips 66 are required to submit data about
that month's gasoline refining margins, including the specific
costs associated with California's LCFS program. Volume-weighted
reports compiled from Defendants' monthly submissions show a sudden
increase of approximately 7 cents per gallon in LCFS-related costs
beginning January 1, 2025, despite no change in actual LCFS market
credit prices and no change in regulatory obligations.
This hidden overcharge implemented by each Defendant has added
hundreds of millions of dollars to the cost of gasoline for
California consumers, in direct violation of antitrust and
California consumer protection laws, says the suit.
Plaintiff Herold purchased gasoline in California from an ARCO gas
station in South Pasadena between January 1, 2025 and May 31,
2025.

CITIBANK N.A.: Novin Sues Over Deceptive and Abusive Practices
--------------------------------------------------------------
Adel Novin, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. CITIBANK, N.A., and COSTCO WHOLESALE CORPORATION, Case
No. 1:25-cv-06889-VMC-LRS (N.D. Ga., Dec. 2, 2025), is brought
challenging the Defendants' unfair, deceptive, and abusive
practices concerning the Costco Anywhere Visa Card rewards program,
which include: delaying consumer access to earned rewards for a
full year; paying no interest while holding earned rewards; and
permanently forfeiting earned rewards upon account closure.
The Defendants delay reward redemption for 12 months after the
rewards are earned. This delay is inconsistent with industry
standards. In the U.S. credit card market, virtually all major
issuers--including Chase, American Express, Discover, and Capital
One--allow cardholders to redeem earned cash rewards immediately or
at least monthly. Defendants' rewards structure therefore deviates
sharply from prevailing norms.
The 12-month holding period causes significant consumer harm with
no legitimate consumer benefit. It forces cardholders to wait a
full year to access value they have already earned, exposes them to
inflationary loss of purchasing power, increases the likelihood of
accidental or unavoidable forfeiture (especially upon account
closure), and deprives consumers of the use of their funds during
the entire waiting period.
A practice that imposes substantial injury on consumers, that
consumers cannot reasonably avoid, and that offers no meaningful
benefit to offset the harm is considered "unfair" under both the
Consumer Financial Protection Act and the Georgia Fair Business
Practices Act. The Defendants' 12-month redemption delay meets all
criteria for unfairness under federal and state law, says the
complaint.
The Plaintiff earned $536.23 and relied on a Citibank
representative's false assurance that he could redeem them after
account closure.

---------------------------------------------------------
LINKEDTO PARTNERS LLC, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. DEFI TECHNOLOGIES INC.; OLIVIER
ROUSSY NEWTON; PAUL BOZOKI; and STEFAN HANSSEN, Defendants, Case
No. 1:25-cv-06637 (E.D.N.Y., Dec. 1, 2025) is a federal securities
class action on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and
entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired
DeFi Technologies securities between May 12, 2025 and November 14,
2025, both dates inclusive, seeking to recover damages caused by
the Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to
pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that throughout the Class
Period, the Defendants made materially false and misleading
statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and
prospects. Specifically, the Defendants made false and misleading
statements or failed to disclose that: (i) DeFi Technologies was
facing delays in executing its DeFi arbitrage strategy, which at
all relevant times was a key revenue driver for the Company; (ii)
DeFi Technologies had understated the extent of competition it
faced from other DAT companies and the extent to which that
competition would negatively impact its ability to execute its DeFi
arbitrage strategy; (iii) as a result of the foregoing issues, the
Company was unlikely to meet its previously issued revenue guidance
for the fiscal year 2025; (iv) accordingly, Defendants had
downplayed the true scope and severity of the negative impact that
the foregoing issues were having on DeFi Technologies' business and
financial results; and (v) as a result, the Defendants' public
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.
DeFi Technologies' stock price fell $0.40 per share, or 27.59
percent, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $1.05
per share on November 17, 2025.
As a result of the Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the
precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's
securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered
significant losses and damages, says the suit.
DeFi Technologies Inc. provides financial services. The Company
provides retail and institutional investors with access to
disruptive asset classes. [BN]

DELTA DENTAL: Harvey Sues Over Failure to Properly Secure PII
-------------------------------------------------------------
Stephanie Harvey, on behalf of herself and on behalf of all other
similarly situated individuals v. DELTA DENTAL OF VIRGINIA, Case
7:25-cv-00888-MFU-CKM (W.D. Va., Dec. 2, 2025), is brought against
the Defendant for its failure to properly secure the Plaintiff's
and Class Members' personally identifiable information ("PII") and
protected health information ("PHI") (collectively, "Private
Information").
The Plaintiff and Class Members were required to provide Defendant
with their Private Information in connection with the services
Defendant provides. On April 23, 2025, Defendant became aware of a
cyber security incident occurring between March 21, 2025 and April
23, 2025 where an unauthorized actor accessed Defendant's network
and systems and exfiltrated Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private
Information ("Data Breach").
In November 2025, Defendant began sending individualized Notice of
Data Security Incident letters ("Notice") to victims of the Data
Breach. The Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members
exposed in the Data Breach includes, but may not be limited to:
Social Security numbers and individual health insurance policy
numbers.
The Defendant knowingly obtained Plaintiff's and Class Members'
sensitive Private Information and had a resulting duty to securely
maintain that information in confidence. Plaintiff and Class
Members would not have provided their Private Information to
Defendant if they had known that Defendant would not ensure that it
used adequate security measures, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff provided their Private Information to the Defendant.
The Defendant is the Virginia branch of a dentist network, called
Delta Dental Plans Association, boasting the largest network of
dentists nationwide.[BN]

---------------------------------------------------------------
Morgan Loweth and Steven Austin Lundquist, individually, and on
behalf of themselves and others similarly situated v. DOSTER LAWN &
LANDSCAPING, DOSTER RENTALS and REAL ESTATE and DEREK DOSTER,
individually, Case No. 1:25-cv-01277-STA-jay (W.D. Tenn., Dec. 3,
2025), is brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") to
recover the applicable FLSA minimum wage and overtime compensation
rates of pay owed to Plaintiffs and other similarly situated
hourly-paid employees.
The Plaintiffs and other Rule 23 class members accepted Defendants'
offer by performing all work required by Defendants. However,

the promised wages within weekly pay periods during all times
material. The Defendants thereby breached their contractual
obligations to Plaintiffs and other Rule 23 class members by

herein. The Defendants knew, and were aware at all relevant times,
that they were not compensating Plaintiff and those similarly
situated for all their compensable hours at the applicable FLSA
minimum (straight time) wage and overtime compensation rates of pay

DOMINICK BRANDON, on behalf of himself and others similarly

O'CONNELL ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. Defendants, Case No.
3:25-cv-01669-ECC-ML (N.D.N.Y., November 26, 2025) arises from the

According to the complaint, the Defendants engage in a common,
willful, and deliberate policy and practice of consistently
compensating Plaintiff and other similarly situated employees at
rates that are drastically below the applicable State minimum wage
rates and failing to pay a portion of their overtime wages and for
all hours worked.
Additionally, the Defendants require Plaintiff to purchase clothing
and other equipment from them but improperly deduct the costs
relating to same from employees' wages.
Finally, the Defendants failed to furnish Plaintiff and other
similarly situated with notices of pay rate or accurate wage
statements, as required by law, contends the suit.
Plaintiff Brandon was employed by the Defendants as a flagger from
August 2022 through June 2023.

FIRE APPARATUS: Chelsea Sues Over Fire Apparatus Monopoly
---------------------------------------------------------
CITY OF CHELSEA, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. FIRE APPARATUS MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION;
OSHKOSH CORPORATION; PIERCE MANUFACTURING, INC.; REV GROUP, INC.;
E-ONE, INC.; FERRARA FIRE APPARATUS, INC.; KOVATCH MOBILE EQUIPMENT
CORP.; SPARTAN FIRE, LLC; SMEAL SFA, LLC; SMEAL LTC, LLC;
ROSENBAUER AMERICA, LLC; ROSENBAUER SOUTH DAKOTA, LLC; ROSENBAUER
MINNESOTA, LLC, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-13643 (D. Mass., Dec.
2, 2025) alleges violation of the Sherman Act, and the Clayton
Act.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants are
engaged in the conspiracy to fix prices, suppress competition, and
restrict the supply of critically needed firefighting apparatus.
Fire apparatus—pumpers, aerials, rescues, tankers, wildland
units, and Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting ("ARFF") vehicles—are
life-saving tools that local municipalities and other governmental
entities rely upon to protect the public. When these entities
cannot secure the necessary apparatus to perform their public
safety duties, firefighters and civilians face unacceptable risks.
Beginning no later than January 1, 2016, Defendants engaged in a
concerted scheme to artificially inflate prices and limit
production of fire apparatus, despite unprecedented levels of
demand and an enormous backlog.
As a result, the Plaintiff and class members have paid
supracompetitive prices for fire apparatus and faced years-long
delays in receiving equipment essential to protecting their
communities. Municipal budgets have been strained, departments have
been forced to operate unsafe aging fleets far beyond recommended
service life, and public safety has been compromised nationwide,
says the suit.
Fire Apparatus Manufacturers' Association is a not-for-profit trade
association committed to enhancing the quality of the fire
apparatus industry and emergency services community. [BN]

FRANK PEPE'S: Fernandez Seeks Equal Website Access for the Blind
----------------------------------------------------------------
FELIPE FERNANDEZ, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. FRANK PEPE'S DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-09885 (S.D.N.Y., November 26, 2025) is
a civil rights action against Defendant for its failure to design,
construct, maintain, and operate its website,
www.pepespizzeria.com, to be fully accessible to and independently
usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired people in
violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New York
City Human Rights Law.
The complaint asserts that the Plaintiff was injured when he
attempted multiple times, most recently on May 8, 2025, to access
Defendant's website from his home but encountered barriers that
denied his full and equal access to Defendant's online content and
services.
The Plaintiff alleges that the website contains access barriers
that prevent free and full use by him using keyboards and screen
reading software. These barriers include but are not limited to
missing alt-text, hidden elements on web pages, incorrectly
formatted lists, unannounced pop ups, unclear labels for
interactive elements, and the requirement that some events be
performed solely with a mouse.
The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that
Defendant's website will become and remain accessible to blind and
visually-impaired consumers.
Frank Pepe's Development Company operates the website that serves
as a local pizzeria.[BN]

FURNITURE COUNTRY: Evans Sues Over Disability Discrimination
------------------------------------------------------------
Makeda Evans, and all others similarly situated v. FURNITURE
COUNTRY CORP., Case No. 1:25-cv-00366-AW-HTC (N.D. Fla., Dec. 4,
2025), is brought for declaratory and injunctive relief, attorney's
fees, costs, and litigation expenses for unlawful disability
discrimination in violation of Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA").
The Plaintiff utilizes available screen reader software that allows
individuals who are blind and visually disabled to communicate with
websites. However, Defendant's Website contains access barriers
that prevent free and full use by blind and visually disabled
individuals using keyboards and available screen reader software.
Accordingly, Defendant's website,
https://www.myfurniturecountry.com/ (the "Website"), was
incompatible with Plaintiff's screen reading software and keyboard.
The fact that Plaintiff could not communicate with or within the
Website left Plaintiff feeling excluded, frustrated, and
humiliated, and gave Plaintiff a sense of isolation and
segregation, as Plaintiff is unable to participate in the same
online experience, with the same access to the sales, services,
discounts, as provided at the Website and in the physical cafes as
the non-visually disabled public, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is, and at all relevant times, has been blind and
visually disabled.
The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls a U.S. based store
offering furniture, mattresses, and home decor, the store Plaintiff
intended to patronize in the near future.[BN]

GLOBAL RETAIL: Faces Jones Suit Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
---------------------------------------------------------------
CLAY LEE JONES, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. GLOBAL RETAIL BRANDS USA, LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 1:25-cv-09870 (S.D.N.Y., November 26, 2025) is a civil
rights action against the Defendant for the failure to design,
construct, maintain, and operate Defendant's website,
www.thecustomchef.com, to be fully accessible to and independently
usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired people in
violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New York
City Human Rights Law.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff was injured when he
attempted multiple times, most recently on June 7, 2025, to access
Defendant's website from his home in an effort to shop for
Defendant's products, but encountered barriers that denied the full
and equal access to Defendant's online goods, content, and
services. Specifically, the Plaintiff wanted to purchase a set of
custom knives.
The website contains access barriers that prevent free and full use
by the Plaintiff using keyboards and screen-reading software. These
barriers include but are not limited to missing alt-text, hidden
elements on web pages, incorrectly formatted lists, unannounced pop
ups, unclear labels for interactive elements, and the requirement
that some events be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit.
The Plaintiff now seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that
its website will become and remain accessible to blind and
visually-impaired consumers.

GOTHAM DRYWALL: Castro Sues Over Failure to Pay Overtime Wages
--------------------------------------------------------------
Eddyn Castro, on behalf of himself, individually, and on behalf of
all others similarly-situated v. GOTHAM DRYWALL INC., and JOHN
FITZPATRICK, individually, Case 1:25-cv-06649 (E.D.N.Y., Dec. 2,
2025), is brought for damages and other redress based upon
violations that Defendants committed of Plaintiff's rights
guaranteed to him by: the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA"), the overtime provisions of the New York
Labor Law ("NYLL") as a result of the Defendants willful failure to
pay the Plaintiff overtime wages.
Throughout the entirety of his employment, Defendants willfully
failed to pay Plaintiff the overtime wages lawfully due to him
under the FLSA and the NYLL. Specifically, throughout his
employment, Defendants required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff
did in fact work, in excess of forty hours each week, or virtually
each week. Yet in exchange for his work, Defendants failed to
compensate Plaintiff, who was an hourly employee, at any rate of
pay for any hours that Plaintiff worked prior to his scheduled
shifts that exceeded forty in a workweek, and thus not at the
statutorily-required overtime rate of pay for those hours. More
specifically, in addition to his regularly-scheduled forty-hour per
week shifts, Defendants required Plaintiff to arrive approximately
fifteen to thirty minutes prior to his shift to, inter alia, attend
Defendants' safety meetings. Defendants did not pay Plaintiff at
any rate of pay for this pre-shift work, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff worked for Defendants as a non-managerial laborer
from August 2019 until February 11, 2025.
The Defendants operates as a drywall and construction company based
in Brooklyn that primarily services the New York City area, and its
owner and day-to-day overseer.[BN]

GWG HOLDINGS: Bayati Seeks Final Approval of Class Settlements
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Bayati, et al., v. GWG
Holdings Inc et al. (RE GWG HOLDINGS, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION),
Case No. 3:22-cv-00410-B (N.D. Tex.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court
to enter an order granting motion for final approval of
settlements.
The Court previously granted preliminary approval of two
settlements totaling $50,950,000 to resolve this Class Action1
alleging that over $350 million of GWG's L Bonds were sold pursuant
to a false and misleading Registration Statement. The first
settlement, which provides for a $450,000 payment, will resolve
claims against the regional accounting firm Whitley Penn LLP.
The Court granted preliminary approval of the Whitley Penn
settlement on Dec. 12, 2024. The second settlement, which provides
for a payment of at least $50,500,000, will resolve claims against
the remaining defendants. The Court granted preliminary approval of
the D&O Defendants settlement on Sept. 25, 2025 ("D&O Settlement"
and together with the Whitley Penn Settlement, the "Settlements").
The settling defendants have timely paid the required amounts to
fund the Settlements.
On Feb. 18, 2022, plaintiffs Bayati and Kamalvand initiated the
Bayati Action under the securities laws on behalf of a putative
class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired L Bonds
pursuant to the 2020 Registration Statement, against GWG and
certain of its (then) current and former directors and officers.
GWG operates as a holding company.

----------------------------------------------------------
Inotiv, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q report for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on December 3, 2025, that on June 23, 2022, a putative
securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, naming the
company and Robert W. Leasure and Beth A. Taylor as defendants,
captioned "Grobler v. Inotiv, Inc., et al.," Case No. 4:22-cv-00045
(N.D. Ind.). On September 25, 2025, the parties entered into a
Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement to settle and the court
preliminarily approved it on October 3, 2025. A final settlement
hearing was set on January 27, 2026.
The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based on alleged false and
misleading statements and material omissions regarding the
company's acquisition of Envigo RMS Holding Corp. and its
regulatory compliance.
On September 12, 2022, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement
System was appointed by the court as lead plaintiff. Thereafter, on
November 14, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint
against the same defendants, in addition to John E. Sagartz and
Carmen Wilbourn, that asserted the same claims along with a claim
under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. On November 23, 2022, the
lead plaintiff filed a further amended complaint against the
aforementioned defendants asserting the same claims as the amended
complaint and further alleging that false and misleading statements
and material omissions were made concerning the company's non-human
primate business. The purported class in the operative complaint
includes all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the
company's common stock between September 21, 2021 and November 16,
2022, and the complaint seeks an unspecified amount of monetary
damages, interest, fees and expenses of attorneys and experts, and
other relief. On January 27, 2023, the defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the amended complaint. That motion has been fully briefed
since April 28, 2023, and is currently pending.
Inotiv, Inc. and its subsidiaries comprise a contract research
organization dedicated to providing nonclinical and analytical drug
discovery and development services to the pharmaceutical and
medical device industries and selling a range of research-quality

not paid overtime of at least one and one-half their regular rates
for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek. Likewise,
Plaintiff and the Putative Collective/Class Members worked under 40
hours per workweek on occasion and were not fully compensated at

workweeks. IWS knowingly and deliberately failed to compensate
Plaintiff and the Putative Collective/Class Members for all hours
worked each workweek and the proper amount of overtime each
workweek on a routine and regular basis, says the complaint.

CLAY LEE JONES, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. JAPAN VILLAGE, INC., Defendant, Case No.
1:25-cv-09868 (S.D.N.Y., November 26, 2025) is a civil rights
action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct,
maintain, and operate its website, www.sunrisemart.com, to be fully
accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind
or visually-impaired people in violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and the New York City Human Rights Law.
According to the complaint, he Plaintiff was injured when he
attempted multiple times, most recently on April 26, 2025, to
access Defendant's website from his home but encountered barriers
that denied his full and equal access to Defendant's online content
and services. Specifically, the Plaintiff wanted to purchase
Japanese specialty grocery products.
The website contains access barriers that prevent free and full use
by the Plaintiff using keyboards and screen reading software. These
barriers include but are not limited to missing alt-text, hidden
elements on web pages, incorrectly formatted lists, unannounced pop
ups, unclear labels for interactive elements, and the requirement
that some events be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit.
The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that
Defendant's website will become and remain accessible to blind and
visually-impaired consumers.
Japan Village, Inc. operates the website that serves as a
supermarket offering a range of imported goods from pantry staples
to specialty snacks and frozen meals.[BN]

JEREMY BACON: Maryland Court Parly Dismisses ICE Suit
-----------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned as D.N.N., et al., Petitioners-Plaintiffs, v.
Jeremy Bacon, et al., Respondents-Defendants, Civil No.:
1:25-cv-01613-JRR (D. Md.), Judge Julie R. Rubin of the United
States District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part
and denied in part the Government's Partial Motion to Dismiss on
December 9, 2025. The parties shall confer and jointly propose a
deadline for the Government to answer Plaintiffs' Second Amended
Complaint.
The Plaintiffs initiated this action on May 9, 2025, on behalf of
themselves and all those similarly situated, namely civilly
detained people confined in U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement holding cells operated by ICE's Baltimore Field Office
(the Baltimore Hold Rooms). The Plaintiffs assert violations of the
Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment to the United
States Constitution. Following amendment and dismissal of certain
counts, Plaintiffs presently assert seven causes of action: Count I
for Violation of the APA, Section 706—Waiver of Policy; Count II
for Violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth
Amendment—Deviation from Policy; Count III for Violation of the
Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment—Deprivation of Sleep;
Count IV for Violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth
Amendment -- Deprivation of Hygienic and Sanitary Conditions; Count
V for Violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth
Amendment—Deprivation of Adequate Medical Care; Count VI for
Violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment --
Deprivation of Adequate Food and Water; and Count VII for Violation
of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and 8 U.S.C.
Section 1229a(b)—Deprivation of Access to Counsel.
The named Plaintiffs D.N.N. and V.R.G. were initially detained at
the Baltimore Hold Rooms on May 7 and 8, 2025, respectively. Both
were detained at their routine check-ins. There is no dispute that
they are no longer detained in the Baltimore Hold Rooms.
ICE's Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations issued a
directive on Operations of ERO Holding Facilities, identified as
Policy Number 11087.2, on January 31, 2024 (Directive 11087.2). A
holding facility is a facility that contains hold rooms that are
primarily used for the short-term confinement of individuals who
have recently been detained, or are being transferred to or from a
court, detention facility, other holding facility, or other agency.
Short-term confinement refers to a period not to exceed 12 hours,
absent exceptional circumstances.
On January 30, 2025, then-Deputy Field Office Director of ERO
Baltimore Baker submitted a memorandum requesting a waiver for the
ERO Baltimore Field Office 12-hour hold room utilization time, as
it relates to Directive 11087.2. The memorandum sought an extension
of 48 hours beyond the 12 hours set by Directive 11087.2. Burke
approved Baker's request on February 5, 2025. On June 24, 2025,
Burke issued a nationwide waiver of Directive 11087.2's 12-hour
hold room utilization limit for all ICE ERO Field Offices (the
Nationwide Waiver). The Nationwide Waiver allows for aliens who are
recently detained, or are being transferred to or from a court,
detention facility, other holding facility, or other agency to be
housed in a holding facility for up to, but not exceeding, 72
hours, absent exceptional circumstances.
The Government argued that all counts brought by named Plaintiffs
should be dismissed due to mootness because the individual
Plaintiffs are no longer detained in the Baltimore Hold Rooms. The
Court denied the Motion to the extent it seeks dismissal on grounds
of mootness. The Court remained persuaded that the claims at
issue—claims that relate to the treatment and conditions at the
Baltimore Hold Rooms, a short-term detention facility—are of such
a transitory nature that the class-action specific relation back
exception applies.
The Government challenged the Court's jurisdiction over Plaintiffs'
APA claim (Count I), arguing that the Waiver is not a final agency
action. The Court rejected this argument, finding that Plaintiffs
have identified specific and discrete government conduct—the
Waiver of the 12-hour hold room utilization limit imposed in
Directive 11087.2. The Court stated that Plaintiffs' challenge to
the Waiver is neither a generalized challenge to ICE day-to-day
operations, nor a broad programmatic attack. The Court found that
the Waiver plainly marks the consummation of ICE's decision-making
process to waive its requirement set forth in Directive 11087.2.
The Court concluded that the Waiver is an action through which
legal rights or obligations have been determined and from which
legal consequences flow. Accordingly, the Court denied the Motion
to the extent it seeks dismissal of Count I for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction.
In Count II, Plaintiffs alleged a violation of the Due Process
Clause of the Fifth Amendment based on ICE's Waiver of the 12-hour
hold room utilization limit under the Accardi doctrine. The Court
stated that the case law does not support Accardi as a vehicle to
state a substantive due process claim. The Court found that
Plaintiffs do not plausibly allege an Accardi-based substantive due
process claim. Therefore, the Court granted the Motion to the
extent it seeks dismissal of Count II. However, the Court noted
that while case law does not support an Accardi-based substantive
due process claim, APA claims enjoy a more welcome reception. The
Court addressed the Government's remaining arguments as to reliance
on Accardi in support of Plaintiffs' APA claim. The Court found
that Plaintiffs nonetheless plausibly state an Accardi claim based
on substantial prejudice. Accordingly, Plaintiffs remain free to
rely on Accardi in support of their APA claim.
The Government argued that Plaintiffs' Count VII, alleging
deprivation of access to counsel, should be dismissed. The Court
found that Plaintiffs adequately plead that, by denying them the
ability to communicate with their counsel through the mail,
unreasonably restricting their ability to meet with attorneys, and
by denying them the ability to make private telephone calls, the
Government has violated Plaintiffs' right to retain counsel at
their own expense under the INA and Due Process Clause of the Fifth
Amendment. The Court stated that noncitizens have a Fifth Amendment
right to due process in removal proceedings and the right to retain
counsel of their choosing, at their own expense, is an integral
part of the procedural due process to which a noncitizen is
entitled. The Court denied the Government's Motion to dismiss Count
VII.

KANSAS STAR: Court OKs $981K Settlement in "Perry" Tip Dispute
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned as Aaron V. Perry, et al., Plaintiffs, v.
Kansas Star Casino, LLC, et al., Defendants, Civil Action No.
24-1183-KHV (D. Kan.), Judge Kathryn H. Vratil of the U.S. District
Court for the District of Kansas sustained in part the Plaintiff's
Renewed Motion for Approval of FLSA Collective Action Settlement.
Aaron Perry worked as a table games dealer earning a sub-minimum
wage plus tips at Kansas Star Casino, LLC near Wichita, Kansas.
Boyd Gaming Corporation owns and operates Kansas Star Casino and
the other defendants: Par-A-Dice Gaming Corporation, Blue Chip
Casino, LLC, Diamond Jo Worth, LLC, Belle of Orleans, LLC, Red
River Entertainment of Shreveport, LLC, Treasure Chest Casino, LLC,
Boyd Tunica, Inc. and Valley Forge Convention Center Partners,
LLC.
The defendants required Perry and other dealers to pool their tips
with fellow dealers at each casino. The Plaintiffs alleged that for
purposes of paying Paid Time Off, the defendants violated the Fair
Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 201 et seq., by including a
dual job position in the tip pool. Specifically, the Plaintiffs
alleged that the Dual Rate Supervisor position, where an individual
works as both a dealer and a floor supervisor, improperly received
PTO (Paid Time Off) from the dealer tip pool for work performed as
a non-tipped, managerial floor supervisor.
On October 31, 2024, the Court conditionally certified a collective
defined as follows: All persons employed as table games dealers and
included within a tip pooling arrangement at a casino property
operated by a defendant at any time from January 1, 2022 to March
8, 2024. On March 8, 2024, the defendants ceased paying PTO to Dual
Rate Supervisors from dealer tip pools.
This action followed a prior lawsuit, James v. Boyd Gaming Corp.,
522 F. Supp. 3d 892 (D. Kan. 2021), where the same law firms
represented plaintiffs in a similar tip pooling case. In James, the
settlement agreement included a release of all claims through
December 31, 2021. After the settlement in James, the Plaintiffs'
counsel learned that at nine Boyd Gaming casinos, the defendants
continued the same tip pooling practice which the Plaintiffs had
challenged in James. This action covered the period from January 1,
2022 through March 8, 2024.
The Plaintiffs and defendants reached a collective action
settlement limited to the 507 members of the tip pool who returned
consent forms to join the collective action. According to the
settlement defendants will pay $981,000 into a Qualified Settlement
Fund that will make settlement payments to collective members, pay
Analytics Consulting, LLC the cost of notice and settlement
administration ($19,956), pay a service award of $10,000 to Perry,
and reimburse the Plaintiffs' counsel's attorney fees and
litigation expenses.
The Qualified Settlement Fund represents 77 per cent of the value
of the tip credit and misallocated tips at issue. Analytics
Consulting will pay each collective member a minimum payment of
$100 plus a pro rata share based on each individual's tip credit
and misallocated tip damages. In addition to the $981,000, the
defendants will separately pay the employer's share of payroll
taxes. Payments to the 507 collective members will average at least
$1,225 net of fees and expenses. The largest settlement check is
nearly $5,000, and 121 workers will recover more than $2,000.
On September 9, 2025, the Court sustained the Plaintiffs' request
for final collective action certification and overruled without
prejudice the Plaintiffs' request for approval of the parties'
collective action settlement. The Court determined that the
parties' settlement resolved a bona fide dispute and that the gross
settlement fund of $981,000 was fair and equitable to all parties.
However, the Court overruled the Plaintiffs' counsel's request for
a fee of one third of the common fund and ordered counsel to file a
renewed motion for approval which included a full lodestar analysis
for the requested fee award and a reduced service award ($1,100) to
Perry.
In the renewed motion, the Plaintiffs sought $245,250.00 in
attorney fees (25 per cent of the common fund settlement),
litigation expenses of $414.60, and a $1,100 service award to
Perry. The Court calculated the lodestar at $145,725 based on
reasonable hourly rates and hours expended. The Court used an
hourly rate of $750 for Alexander Ricke and Ryan McClelland, $500
for Benjamin Stueve, and $150 for paralegals and legal assistants,
applying these rates to 253.4 hours of work.
The Court considered the twelve Johnson factors in determining
reasonableness. The Court noted that because the Plaintiffs'
counsel litigated the same claims in James for a different period,
the factual and legal issues in this case were not complicated or
novel. The Court also noted that the Plaintiffs' counsel took this
case with minimal to no risk given their extensive experience in
FLSA cases.
Based on the Johnson factors, the Court found that a fee award of
20 per cent of the common fund is reasonable. This represents
approximately a 1.345 multiplier of the lodestar, which is within
the range of court-approved multipliers in FLSA cases when the
lodestar is used as a cross check of the reasonableness of the
percentage of a common fund.
Therefore, the Court sustained in part the Plaintiff's Renewed
Motion for Approval of FLSA Collective Action Settlement. The Court
approved the settlement which creates a common fund of $981,000 to
be distributed to the 507 collective members. The Court appointed
Analytics Consulting as the third-party settlement administrator
and authorized the following awards from the common fund: the
Plaintiffs' counsel's attorney fees totaling 20 per cent of the
fund ($196,200); the Plaintiffs' counsel's litigation expenses in
the amount of $414.60; a $1,100 service award to Perry; and $19,956
to Analytics Consulting for the cost of notice and settlement
administration.

KJSS CORP: Gonzalez Sues Over Unpaid Minimum and Overtime Wages
---------------------------------------------------------------
Victor Gonzalez, on behalf of himself, individually, and on behalf
of all others similarly-situated v. KJSS CORP. d/b/a KASHI SUSHI
AND STEAKHOUSE, and KBAY CORP. d/b/a KASHI JAPANESE OF SYOSSET, and
KMORE CORP. d/b/a KASHI JAPANESE OF BELLMORE, and WSTB CORP. d/b/a
KASHI JAPANESE, and 216 SUNRISE HIGHWAY CORP. d/b/a MEET IZAKAYA,
and XIANG LIN a/k/a SKY LIN, individually, and TONY LAM,
individually, Case No. 2:25-cv-06669-JMA-ARL (E.D.N.Y., Dec. 3,
2025), is brought for damages and other redress based upon willful
violations that Defendants committed of Plaintiff's rights
guaranteed to him by: the minimum and overtime provisions of the
Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and the New York Labor Law
("NYLL").
Throughout his employment, Defendants willfully failed to pay
Plaintiff the overtime wages lawfully due under the FLSA and the
NYLL and the minimum wages due under the NYLL. Specifically,
throughout his employment, Defendants required Plaintiff to work,
and Plaintiff did in fact work, in excess of forty hours each
workweek, or virtually each week. Yet in exchange, Defendants paid
him a flat weekly salary that by operation of law only covered only
Plaintiff's first forty hours of work in a week. Thus, Defendants
did not pay Plaintiff at any rate of pay, let alone at the
legally-mandated rate of one and one half times his regular rate
for the hours that Plaintiff worked in a week in excess of forty.
Moreover, when calculated on a per hour basis, the effective hourly
rate for minimum wage purposes fell below the minimum wage rate
that New York law requires per hour of work, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff worked for the Defendants as a food preparer and
kitchen helper at two of Defendants' restaurants from March 2020
until January 7, 2024.
The Defendants are five legally distinct New York corporations that
together operate a single enterprise that runs at least five
Japanese restaurants on Long Island, and the enterprise's co-owners
and day-to-day overseers.[BN]

KRISTI NOEM: Maria Suit Seeks Rule 23 Class Certification
---------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MARIA L., et al., v.
KRISTI NOEM, in her official capacity as Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security; et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-13471-GAO
(D. Mass.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order:
-- certifying a class and two subclasses pursuant to Rule 23(a)
and Rule 23(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and
-- appointing them as class and subclass representatives and
their counsel as class counsel.
Specifically, the Plaintiffs move for an order certifying the
following class and subclasses:
Class:
"All individuals subjected to a civil monetary penalty imposed
pursuant to 8 U.S.C. Sections 1229c or 1324d on or after Jan.
20, 2025."
Subclass 1:
"Any individual subjected to a civil monetary penalty imposed
pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1324d on or after Jan. 20, 2025
(the "1324d Subclass").
Subclass 2:
"Any individual subjected to a civil monetary penalty imposed
pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1229c or section 1324d on or
after June 27, 2025 (the "Post-IFR Subclass")."
The Plaintiffs further request the Court to order the Defendants to
identify and give notice, immediately upon the Court's order on
this motion, to all class members, including both class members who
have been subjected to a civil monetary penalty pursuant to 8
U.S.C. Sections 1229c or 1324d since Jan. 20, 2025 and class
members who are subjected to a civil monetary penalty pursuant to 8
U.S.C. section 1229c or section 1324d in the future.
The Plaintiffs request this Court to order the form of notice to
include, at a minimum: (1) the nature of the action; (2) the
definition of the certified class; and (3) the class claims and
issues.
To facilitate notice, Plaintiffs request that Defendants be ordered
to maintain, on an ongoing basis and until further order from this
Court, records sufficient to allow for adequate and effective
notice to all class members.

LANZATECH GLOBAL: Continues to Defend Business Combination Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
LanzaTech Global Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2025 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2025, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Business Combination
class suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
In May 2024, a putative class action complaint (the "Complaint")
was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against LanzaTech
f/k/a/ AMCI, AMCI Sponsor II LLC ("AMCI Sponsor") and the
individual directors of AMCI (the "Director Defendants") for
purported damages arising from the Business Combination. The
Company was subsequently voluntarily dismissed from the case in
July 2024, before it was required to respond to the Complaint.
The Complaint asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty
against the Director Defendants; and (ii) unjust enrichment against
AMCI Sponsor and the Director Defendants. The parties have not yet
engaged in any discovery in connection with the litigation and the

Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-00132-RGE-HCA (S.D. Iowa, November 26,

similarly situated owners of LBL life insurance policies, seeking

to unlawful cost of insurance (COI) rate overcharges.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff and other class members
have paid premiums to LBL and have otherwise performed all their
obligations under the LBL life insurance policies.
As a direct result of LBL's actions, the Plaintiff and the other
members of the class have been required to pay and have paid
exorbitant and unjustified COI charges. The Plaintiff seeks relief
for the COI overcharges that LBL has wrongly imposed and continues
to impose on its policyholders.

LOCANUT INC: Faces Jones Suit Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
-------------------------------------------------------------
CLAY LEE JONES, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. LOCANUT, INC., Defendant, Case No.
1:25-cv-09878 (S.D.N.Y., November 26, 2025) is a civil rights
action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct,
maintain, and operate its website, www.locanut.com, to be fully
accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind
or visually-impaired people in violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and the New York City Human Rights Law.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff was injured when he
attempted multiple times, most recently on May 24, 2025, to access
Defendant's website from his home but encountered barriers that
denied his full and equal access to Defendant's online content and
services. Specifically, the Plaintiff wanted to place an online
food order.
The website contains access barriers that prevent free and full use
by the Plaintiff using keyboards and screen reading software. These
barriers include but are not limited to missing alt-text, hidden
elements on web pages, incorrectly formatted lists, unannounced pop
ups, unclear labels for interactive elements, and the requirement
that some events be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit.
The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that
its website will become and remain accessible to blind and
visually-impaired consumers.

MARINER WEALTH: $25.5MM Settlement in "Tobler" Gets Court OK
------------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned as Jakob Tobler and Michelle McNitt,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiffs, v. 1248 Holdings, LLC f/k/a Bicknell Family Holding
Company; Mariner Wealth Advisors, LLC f/k/a Mariner Holdings, LLC;
Montage Investments, LLC; Mariner, LLC f/k/a Mariner Wealth
Advisors, LLC; Mariner Capital Advisors, LLC; Tortoise Capital
Advisors, LLC; TortoiseEcofin Parent Holdco LLC; American Century
Companies, Inc.; American Century Services, LLC; American Century
Investment Management, Inc.; and Does 1-10, Defendants, Case No.
2:24-CV-02068-EFM-GEB (D. Kan.), Judge Eric F. Melgren of the
United States District Court for the District of Kansas granted
final approval of a class action settlement and awarded attorneys'
fees, expenses, and service awards.
The Settlement Class consists of approximately 4,410 individuals
with a Settlement Fund of $25,500,000. The gross per-head recovery
is just north of $5,700. The Court noted that this relief compares
favorably to other no-poach common fund settlements, especially
considering the procedural posture of the action. The size of the
Settlement Fund also towers the $2.5 million victims' compensation
fund secured from some of the Defendants by the Department of
Justice in exchange for non-prosecution agreements.
The Court found that the Settlement satisfies each of the Rule
23(e)(2) factors. First, the Settlement Class Representatives and
Class Counsel have adequately represented the Class. The Settlement
Class Representatives are former employees of one of the Defendants
and, like the Class Members, would have been affected by the same
alleged misconduct resulting in artificially deflated
compensation.
Second, the Settlement is the product of arm's-length negotiations.
The parties engaged an experienced and skilled mediator, Hon. Layn
R. Phillips (Ret.), who conducted a full-day mediation session on
February 18, 2025. Although the parties were unable to reach a
resolution on that day, they continued negotiations over the next
several months, arriving at a settlement in principle on June 17,
2025.
Third, the Court found that the relief provided to the Class
through the Settlement is adequate. The notice plan reached an
estimated 99.3% of the Class. Because there is no claims-made
process, settlement payments will be delivered directly to
Settlement Class Members.
Fourth, the Court found that the Settlement treats Class Members
equitably relative to one another. Settlement payments will be made
on an objective basis, factoring their compensation during the
Settlement Class Period.
The Court granted an award of attorneys' fees in the amount of
one-third of the $25,500,000 Settlement Amount, together with any
interest earned on that amount. The Court applied the
percentage-of-the-fund method, as preferred by the Tenth Circuit,
and analyzed the reasonableness under the Johnson factors.
The Court found that Class Counsel secured a substantial result for
the Class. As courts within the District have recognized, class
actions have a well-deserved reputation as being most complex, and
an antitrust class action is arguably the most complex action to
prosecute. The claims asserted involved complex issues of class
certification and substantive law requiring highly skilled and
experienced attorneys.
The Court recognized the significant risk Class Counsel assumed in
prosecuting this complex and relatively novel no-poach antitrust
class action on a wholly contingent basis. Class Counsel invested
over $390,000 in out-of-pocket costs, primarily expert fees, on a
contingent basis. In contingent fee cases, a one-third fee is
customary and represents the market rate.
The Court approved payment of $396,212.51 in total expenses and
costs incurred by Class Counsel in prosecuting the case. The Court
found that the award of these expenses is fair and reasonable.
The Court awarded service awards in the amount of $15,000 each to
Mr. Tobler and Ms. McNitt. Class Representatives were instrumental
to this litigation. According to Class Counsel, while Class Members
contacted them, these Class Members would only provide information
confidentially for fear of professional retaliation. Despite this
fear, Mr. Tobler and Ms. McNitt stepped forward to publicly
challenge their former employer's alleged conduct.
Mr. Tobler devoted about 65 hours in total and Ms. McNitt about 50
hours in total to the prosecution of the case, including pre-suit
investigation, working with class counsel, reviewing court filings,
participating in discovery, and being available for mediation and
settlement negotiations.
The Court found that two individuals timely requested exclusion
from the Settlement Class. These individuals are excluded from the
Rule 23 Class previously certified, are not bound by the terms of
the Settlement Agreement, do not release Defendants and all other
Released Parties from the Released Claims, and are not entitled to
participate in the monetary portion of the Settlement.
No Class Member submitted any objection to the Settlement. The
Court therefore ordered that the Motion for Final Approval of
Proposed Class Action Settlement and Award of Attorneys' Fees,
Expenses, and Service Awards is granted.

MARQUIS SOFTWARE: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Cusick Alleges
--------------------------------------------------------------
TRACY CUSICK, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. MARQUIS SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, INC.; and NORWAY
SAVINGS BANK, Defendants, Case No. 4:25-cv-01314 (E.D. Tex., Dec.
2, 2025) is a class action on behalf of all persons who entrusted
Defendants with sensitive Personally Identifiable Information that
was impacted in a data breach experienced by Defendants on August
14, 2025 (the "Data Breach" or the "Breach").
According to the complaint, on August 14, 2025, an unauthorized
actor accessed Marquis's computer network and exfiltrated
Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information from the
Defendants' systems. In response, cybersecurity experts were
engaged to conduct a detailed review to determine the nature and
scope of the Data Breach, and to determine if the Defendants'
customer information may have been included.
The Defendants owed Plaintiff and Class Members a duty to take all
reasonable and necessary measures to keep the Private Information
collected safe and secure from unauthorized access. The Defendants
solicited, collected, used, and derived a benefit from their
Private Information, yet breached their duty by failing to
implement or maintain adequate security practices.
The Defendants, despite having the financial wherewithal and
personnel necessary to prevent the Data Breach, nevertheless failed
to use reasonable security procedures and practice appropriate to
the nature of the sensitive, unencrypted information they collected
and maintained for Plaintiff and Class Members, causing the
exposure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information,
says the suit.

MARQUIS SOFTWARE: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Geoffrey Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
JOSHUA GEOFFREY, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. MARQUIS SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, INC.; and
COVANTAGE CREDIT UNION, Defendants, Case No. 4:25-cv-01311-ALM
(E.D. Tex., Dec. 2, 2025) is a class action arising from the
Defendants' failure to protect highly sensitive data.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, the Defendants had no
effective means to prevent, detect, stop, or mitigate breaches of
their systems -- thereby allowing cybercriminals unrestricted
access to their current and former customers' PII.
The cybercriminals were able to breach Defendants' systems because
Defendants failed to adequately train their employees on
cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards
or protocols to protect the Class's PII. In short, the Defendants'
failures placed the Class's PII in a vulnerable position --
rendering them easy targets for cybercriminals, says the suit.
Because of Defendants' alleged failure to prevent the Data Breach,
Plaintiff and Class Members suffered -- and will continue to suffer
-- damages.

MCCORMICK COUNTY, SC: Sued Over Failure to Pay Overtime Wages
-------------------------------------------------------------
John Coker, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. MCCORMICK COUNTY, MCCORMICK COUNTY SHERIFF CHAD COX, in
his individual and official capacity, Case No. 8:25-cv-13692-TMC
(D.S.C., Dec. 3, 2025), is brought seeking recovery against the
Defendants for Defendants' violation of the Fair Labor Standards
Act, as amended (the "FLSA") and the South Carolina Payment of
Wages Act ("SCPWA") as a result of the Defendants' failure to pay
overtime wages.
The Plaintiff and all other K-9 Deputies were required to board and
care for their K-9s during off-duty hours without any compensation,
in violation of the FLSA. The Plaintiff and similarly situated K9
Deputies were not paid their regular rate for the off-duty time
they spent caring for their canine when they worked less than 171
hours in a 28-day work cycle in violation of the SCPWA.
The Defendants were aware that Plaintiff and similarly situated K-9
Deputies performed uncompensated work caring and boarding their
canines. The Defendants have acted intentionally and in bad faith
by not compensating Plaintiff and similarly situated K-9 Deputies
for the off-duty hours they worked caring for and boarding their
canines, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff was a McCormick County Sheriff Deputy from 2020 to
2025.
The Defendant County is a government entity which consists of

META PLATFORMS: Class Certification Deadlines Tossed
----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Ohio Public Employees
Retirement System v. Meta Platforms, Inc. f/k/a Facebook, Inc. et
al.(RE META PLATFORMS, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION), Case No.
3:21-cv-08812-AMO (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Araceli
Martinez-Olguin entered an order denying the joint stipulation
regarding deadlines for amending pleadings, class certification,
and discovery.
First, the parties' request is untimely. The parties' stipulation
was filed on Dec. 8, 2025, and requests an extension of the
Plaintiff's deadline to file a motion for class certification,
which is set for Dec. 12, 2025.
Further, the stipulation and declaration submitted do not show that
good cause exists to extend the deadlines, as required by Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4).
The parties are welcome to agree amongst themselves to an amended
complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2). The
Court, however, will not amend any deadlines previously set absent
a showing of good cause. IT IS SO ORDERED.
Meta is an American multinational technology company.

MISTER WRIGHT: Website Inaccessible to Blind Users, Jones Says

MVM INC: Must Face Amended Class Action with New Plaintiffs
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned as Padre (alias) and Junior (alias), on
behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs,
v. MVM, Inc., Defendant, Case No. 24cv1265 DMS (AHG) (S.D. Cal.),
Judge Dana M. Sabraw of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of California granted the Plaintiffs' motion for
leave to file a First Amended Class Action Complaint.
At oral argument, Plaintiffs' counsel requested leave to amend if
the Court decided the Complaint failed to allege sufficient facts
to support equitable tolling and leave to amend to add different
plaintiffs if the Court found the named Plaintiffs' claims were
time-barred. The Court asked counsel if they had different
plaintiffs in mind, and counsel stated they had talked to numerous
plaintiffs and believed they would be able to add a plaintiff who
was 20 years or younger at the time of filing. On March 3, 2025,
the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendant's motion to
dismiss. The Court found the Section 1985, Section 1986, and
intentional infliction of emotional distress claims were
time-barred and Plaintiffs failed to allege any facts to support
equitable tolling. Those claims were dismissed, but the Court gave
Plaintiffs until March 14, 2025, to file an amended complaint that
cured the pleading deficiencies on equitable tolling.
The March 14 deadline lapsed with no action on Plaintiffs' part.
Thereafter, Defendant filed its Answer to the Complaint and the
parties attended a Case Management Conference with Magistrate Judge
Goddard. Following the conference, the Court issued a Scheduling
Order for the case, including a July 9, 2025 deadline for the
parties to file a motion to join other parties, amend the
pleadings, or file additional pleadings. In that Order, Magistrate
Judge Goddard stated that Plaintiffs shall not construe this
deadline as a reopening of the Court's already passed March 14,
2025 deadline to file a First Amended Complaint that cures the
pleading deficiencies concerning equitable tolling.
On July 9, 2025, Plaintiffs filed the present motion. The proposed
First Amended Complaint does not allege any additional facts on
equitable tolling. Instead, Plaintiffs added different plaintiffs
on the Section 1985, Section 1986, and intentional infliction of
emotional distress claims. They also added an entirely new claim
for interference with constitutional rights under California Civil
Code Section 52.1 on behalf of the newly added plaintiffs.
The Court turned to the substance of Plaintiffs' motion, which is
governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15. This Rule provides
that leave to amend a party's pleading shall be freely given when
justice so requires. The Court addressed four factors: undue delay,
bad faith, prejudice, and futility of amendment.
On undue delay, the Court noted Plaintiffs' counsel knew on
November 12, 2024, there was a possibility they would have to find
different plaintiffs for the Section 1985, Section 1986, and
intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. Although
counsel had apparently started talking with some potential
plaintiffs prior to the December 2024 hearing, there is no evidence
they promptly followed up with those individuals. Given the record,
the Court found counsel's undue delay weighs against granting leave
to amend.
On the bad faith factor, Defendant argued Plaintiffs engaged in bad
faith by seeking leave to file an amended complaint that includes
claims that have already been dismissed. The Court disagreed with
Defendant's interpretation and found this factor weighs in favor of
granting leave to amend.
The Court found that while the addition of new plaintiffs will
cause some prejudice to Defendant, the addition will not change the
underlying facts of the case or the fundamental nature of the
claims. Furthermore, given the parties' numerous discovery
disputes, there is currently no cut-off date for class
certification discovery. Under these circumstances, the Court found
Defendant has not shown the prejudice factor weighs against
granting leave to amend.
Finally, on futility, Defendant argued the Court's dismissal of the
civil rights conspiracy and intentional infliction of emotional
distress claims operates as an adjudication on the merits and
Plaintiffs' proposed claim under California Civil Code Section 52.1
is unlikely to survive a motion to dismiss. The Court disagreed
that dismissal of the civil rights conspiracy claims as to Padre
and Junior operates as a dismissal of the same claims on behalf of
the newly proposed plaintiffs. Defendant failed to cite any
authority to support this argument. The Court also found
Defendant's assertion about the newly asserted claim was conclusory
and lacks any analysis of the elements of the claim.
Considering all factors, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for
leave to file their proposed First Amended Class Action Complaint.
Plaintiffs were ordered to file the amended complaint on or before
December 8, 2025.

NAKED WHEY: Livingston Sues Over Mislabeled Vegan Supplements
-------------------------------------------------------------
MARIA LIVINGSTON, individually, and on behalf of others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. NAKED WHEY, INC. d/b/a NAKED NUTRITION,
Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-10284 (N.D. Cal., November 26, 2025) is
a class action against the Defendant for violation of the Consumer
Legal Remedies Act, and for unfair and unlawful business acts and
practices, deceptive advertising practices, breach of express
warranty, and quasi-contract.
According to the complaint, Defendant Naked Whey, Inc. doing
business as Naked Nutrition violates California consumer protection
law in the labeling of its "Naked" vegan supplements, including but
not limited to its Naked Shake Vegan Protein Powder, Naked Vegan
Mass Products, and Naked Pea Products.
On the front label of all of the products, the Defendant
prominently states that the such products are "NAKED" and "VEGAN"
and/or "PREMIUM." In addition, on the back or side label, the
Defendant prominently states "LOOK AT US NAKED WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO
HIDE" along with statements that the products contain no artificial
flavors, sweeteners, or colors and/or no additives.
However, the label representations are misleading based on the lead
contained in the products, which is not disclosed anywhere on the
labels, the complaint asserts. Consumers, including Plaintiff, pay
a price premium to purchase Defendant's product because they
believe the Products are a premium, naked supplement, without

NASIR HAMEED: Hernandez Sues Over Unpaid Wages for Overtime Work
----------------------------------------------------------------
Andres Hernandez and Kelin Rosales on behalf of themselves and
others similarly situated v. NASIR HAMEED and FARMERS MARKET
SELDEN, INC. d/b/a HOUSE OF SPICE, Case No. 2:25-cv-06671
(E.D.N.Y., Dec. 3, 2025), is brought under the Fair Labor Standards
Act ("FLSA") and the New York Labor Law ("NYLL") for unpaid wages
for overtime work performed, unpaid spread of hours wages for each
day Plaintiffs worked ten or more hours, liquidated damages,
attorneys' fees, interest, and all costs and disbursements
associated with this action.
While Plaintiffs, and Collective and Class plaintiffs, worked in
excess of forty hours a week, Defendants willfully failed to pay
them overtime compensation for the overtime hours worked. The
Defendants never paid Plaintiffs, and Collective and Class
plaintiffs, wages with a pay statement containing the following
information: employer's name, address and phone number, employee's
name, dates covered by payment, basis of payment, hours worked,
regular rates of pay, overtime rates of pay, gross and net wages,
itemized deductions, and/or itemized allowances.
The Defendants failed to post or keep posted a notice explaining
the minimum wage and overtime pay rights, and employee rights by
the NYLL. During all relevant times, Defendants failed to maintain
accurate and sufficient records of those hours Plaintiffs worked
and those wages paid to them. The Defendants knew that nonpayment
of overtime would economically injure Plaintiffs, the FLSA
Collective Plaintiffs and members of the Class, and violated State
and Federal laws, says the complaint.
The Plaintiffs were employed by the Defendants.

INC. d/b/a FLEET LANDING, Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-01480 (M.D.
Fla., December 4, 2025) is a class action against the Defendant for

breach between September 11, 2024 and September 12, 2024. The

NEBULA GENOMICS: Continues to Defend Portillo GIPA Class Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
ProPhase Labs Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2025 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2021, that
Nebula Genomics Inc., the Company it purchased in 2025, continues
to defend itself from the Portillo GIPA class suit in the United
States District Court for District of Massachusetts.
In October 2024, a putative class action lawsuit, Portillo v.
Nebula Genomics, Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois under Illinois's Genetic Information
Privacy Act ("GIPA") alleging that Nebula improperly shared
customers' genetic information with third parties without written
consent. The action named Nebula along with Meta Platforms, Google
and Microsoft.
The dispute was later transferred to the U.S. District Court for
the District of Massachusetts in accordance with Nebula's Terms of
Use, which mandated that claims be brought in Massachusetts.
The complaint remains at the pleading stage. In addition to the
motion to change venue, Nebula filed a motion to dismiss. While the
allegations raise reputational and legal risks, no judgment or
settlement has been entered and potential liability is not
reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, management does not
consider this litigation to be material to the consolidated
financial statements as of the date of this prospectus.

NEW JERSEY: Devericks Sues Over Improper Overdraft Fees

JOHN DOE TRANSPORTATION SUPERVISORY OFFICIALS 1-10, Defendants,
Case No. 1:25-cv-18090-ESK-SAK (D.N.J., Dec. 2, 2025) seeks to
challenge the Defendants' E-ZPass system as an engineered
penalty-generation trap built on predatory enrollment, silent
account modifications, a one-try debit rule with no overdraft use,
and automated fifty-dollar "administrative" penalties imposed
without timely mailed notice, without meaningful pre-deprivation
safeguards, and without neutral review.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants designed
and maintained a system that converts minor toll issues and
short-term account mismatches into avalanche penalties, routinely
stacking hundreds or thousands of dollars in $50 fines before a
driver ever receives a physical notice or any real chance to cure.
As a direct and proximate result of the Defendants' practices, the
Plaintiff suffered significant monetary loss, emotional distress,
and ongoing risks to his license, credit, and livelihood, says the
suit.

NEW YORK: Dunne Sues Over Illegal Tolling Program
-------------------------------------------------
DENISE DUNNE; TAMARA LASHCHYK; and RICHARD C. MANJARRES,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY; and TRIBOROUGH
BRIDGE AND TUNNEL AUTHORITY, Defendants, Case No. 2:25-cv-18105
(D.N.J., Dec. 2, 2025) seeks recovery and relief on behalf of the
class of all drivers who have been, or will be, improperly charged
"congestion pricing" tolls since Defendants launched their illegal
tolling program on January 5, 2025.
The Plaintiffs allege in the complaint that the Defendants have
taken hundreds of millions of dollars of illegal tolls from drivers
under the improper "congestion pricing" tolling program that they
began operating earlier this year in violation of federal law. This
class action seeks the return of those illegal tolls and
discontinuance of the illegal tolling program. the Defendants'
tolling program violates federal law in at least three separate
respects.
The Defendants' "congestion pricing" tolling program unlawfully
conditions Plaintiffs' ability to drive in the Central Business
District on payment of illegal tolls. The "congestion pricing"
tolls provide for the unauthorized taking from Plaintiffs and the
other Class members of money not validly due and owing to
Defendants. Such tolls constitute illegal exactions.

PROSPERITY GROUP INVESTMENTS OF HOUSTON, L.P., Case No.
4:25-cv-05783 (S.D. Tex., Dec. 2, 2025), is brought based upon
Defendant's failure to remove physical barriers to access and
violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act

The Plaintiff has visited the Property once before as a customer
and advocate for the disabled. The Plaintiff intends to revisit the
Property after the barriers to access detailed in this Complaint

the revisit is to be a return customer of Ocean Crawfish, to
determine if and when the Property is made accessible and to
substantiate already existing standing for this lawsuit for
Advocacy Purposes.
The Plaintiff intends on revisiting the Property to purchase
services as a return customer as well as for Advocacy Purposes but
does not intend to re-expose himself to the ongoing barriers to
access and engage in a futile gesture of visiting the public
accommodation known to Plaintiff to have numerous and continuing
barriers to access, says the complaint.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Defendants, Case No. 5:25-cv-01613
(W.D. Tex., Dec. 2, 2025) is an action seeking a declaratory
judgment that Senate Bill No. 10 ("S.B. 10" or "the Act") is
unconstitutional, seeking a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction, as well as permanent injunctive relief, to
prevent Defendants and other independent school districts similarly
situated from complying with the Act.
According to the complaint, Senate Bill No. 10 ("S.B. 10" or "the
Act"), requires public schools to post a state-approved, Protestant
version of the Ten Commandments in a "conspicuous place" in every
classroom, all of these students will be forcibly subjected to
scriptural dictates, day in and day out.
The state's main interest in displaying the Ten Commandments in
public schools under S.B. 10 is to impose specific religious
beliefs on public-school children, ignoring the numerous objections
from Texas families and faith leaders from across the religious
spectrum.
Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District is a
public school district that serves nearly 16,000 students in

SONG 'E NAPULE: Hernandez Seeks Equal Website Access for the Blind
------------------------------------------------------------------
TIMOTHY HERNANDEZ, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. SONG 'E NAPULE, INC., Defendant, Case No.
1:25-cv-06588 (E.D.N.Y., November 26, 2025) is a civil rights
action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct,
maintain, and operate its website, www.songenapule.us, to be fully
accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind
or visually-impaired people in violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and the New York City Human Rights Law.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff was injured when he
attempted multiple times, most recently on April 15, 2025, to
access Defendant's website from his home but encountered barriers
that denied his full and equal access to Defendant's online content
and services. Specifically, the Plaintiff sought out to find a
Neapolitan-style pizza and while browsing, also became interested
in the Mokavit Capri 3 Cups.
The website contains access barriers that prevent free and full use
by the Plaintiff using keyboards and screen reading software. These
barriers include but are not limited to missing alt-text, hidden
elements on web pages, incorrectly formatted lists, unannounced pop
ups, unclear labels for interactive elements, and the requirement
that some events be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit.
The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that
its website will become and remain accessible to blind and
visually-impaired consumers.
Song 'E Napule, Inc. operates the website that offers Neapolitan
cuisine.[BN]

STATE FARM: Concealed Threats Facing Insurance Policies, Jason Says
-------------------------------------------------------------------
GORDON JASON, JENNIFER NAPPO, and PATRICK MCLAUGHLIN, on behalf of
themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. STATE
FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, and Unnamed Affiliates &
Associates 1-100, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-14507 (N.D. Ill.,
November 26, 2025) is a class action on behalf of the Plaintiffs
and all persons in the United States who were solicited, induced,
and/or targeted by State Farm agents to purchase life insurance
policies or annuity contracts offered by The Phoenix Companies,
Inc.
According to the complaint, Defendant State Farm occupied and
assumed a unique position of trust and confidence with Plaintiffs
and Class Members concerning their Phoenix Products, including
those related to estate planning. The Defendant targeted Plaintiffs
and Class Members in connection with these Phoenix Products and
represented the Products as safe and secure investments.
The complaint alleges, however, that the Defendant abused its
position of trust. For more than a decade, the Defendant concealed
real and imminent threats facing Plaintiffs' and Class Members'
policies and contracts and associated benefits. The Defendant knew
the financial risk facing Phoenix and chose to keep silent so it
could quietly pocket millions of dollars in compensation, to the
detriment of Plaintiffs and Class Members.
By the time Plaintiffs and Class Members became aware of their
financial injury, it was too late. The Defendant failed to warn and
concealed material facts from Plaintiffs and Class Members. Today,
PHL Variable Insurance Company is in rehabilitation, and Plaintiffs
and Class Members are unable to receive the full benefits due under
their policies and contracts. Neither can they exchange or
surrender their Phoenix Products for a suitable alternative, says
the suit.

property and casualty insurance provider and the largest auto

others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX,
INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-10043 (D. Ariz., December 4,
2025) is a class action against the Defendant for negligence,
negligence per se, unjust enrichment, and declaratory and

Case No. 1:25-cv-03850 (D. Colo., November 26, 2025) is a class
action complaint brought by the Plaintiff, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, against the Defendant for
failing to properly secure and safeguard personal and sensitive
information.
According to the complaint, the Defendant collected without
limitation, Plaintiff and other patients' full names, dates of
birth, gender, residential addresses, phone numbers, personal email
addresses, social security numbers, insurance policy numbers, and
detailed clinical records that includes medical histories,
diagnostic images, medication lists, types of surgeries performed,

The Plaintiff also alleges the failure of the Defendant to provide
timely, accurate, and adequate notice to Plaintiff that their
personal information had been exposed and precisely what types of
information was unencrypted and in the possession of unknown third
parties.
The Plaintiff brings this action on behalf of all persons whose
personal information was compromised as a result of Defendant's
failure to: (i) adequately protect the personal information of
Plaintiff and Class Members; (ii) warn Plaintiff and Class Members
of Defendant's inadequate information security practices; and (iii)
ensure that the personal information of Plaintiff and Class Members
would be adequately safeguarded from misuse or exposure to
unauthorized individuals whenever Defendant shared it with third
parties.

[] ClaimScore Rebrands as Covalynt, Expands Data Science Platform
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ClaimScore, the legal technology company behind the only data
science and AI-driven fraud detection solution for class action
settlements, announced on Dec. 16, 2025, that it has rebranded as
Covalynt. The new brand reflects the company's evolution from a
single anti-fraud product into a full-service data science platform
purpose-built for complex litigation.
Under the Covalynt name, the company now offers an integrated suite
of products -- ClassResolution, DeepValidation, ClaimScore by
Covalynt, and Bespoke Data Solutions—designed to solve the most
difficult data problems in high-stakes cases, from early discovery
through settlement distribution.
"Complex litigation has become fundamentally data-driven, but the
industry hasn't kept pace with the data-science rigor these matters
now require," said Don Beshada, CEO and co-founder of Covalynt.
"ClaimScore showed us that fraud detection was just one piece of a
much larger problem: fragmented class records, unreliable notice
data, and identity-resolution challenges that traditional tools
simply can't handle. Covalynt is our answer to that broader
mandate—the bond between complex litigation and data science."
Originally launched as ClaimScore, the company pioneered
bank-level, data-driven backend fraud analysis to help settlement
administrators, attorneys and companies detect and prevent
sophisticated class action claim fraud in real time.
"Our clients started coming to us with questions that went far
beyond 'Is this claim fraudulent?'" said Bryan Heller, co-founder
of Covalynt. "They needed defensible class datasets, reliable
notice strategies, and transparent models that could survive legal
challenges. Covalynt's platform is built to meet that
reality—engineered by data scientists, proven in high-profile
cases, and designed to stand up under expert and judicial
scrutiny."
Covalynt's platform now includes four core offerings that bring
scientific structure and defensibility to the entire litigation
lifecycle:
* ClassResolution - Guides discovery toward the data that
matters and builds a unified, audit-ready class dataset. Covalynt
helps legal teams request the right fields, reconcile fragmented
records across sources, and apply engineered identity-resolution
methods so that class membership can be defended under intense
judicial and expert scrutiny.
* DeepValidation - Transforms incomplete or inconsistent class
contact data into actionable intelligence. DeepValidation enriches
and validates addresses, emails, and other contact points,
maximizing direct deliverability and sharpening indirect notice
strategies while documenting each step in a reproducible,
transparent process.
* ClaimScore - Retains and extends the original ClaimScore
fraud-detection capabilities. The product uses multi-factor,
AI-driven scoring to identify fraudulent or suspicious
claims—including synthetic identities and phone-farm
submissions—while preserving legitimate claims and providing
objective, evidence-backed documentation to courts and settlement
stakeholders.
* Bespoke Data Solutions - For challenges that don't fit a
standard pattern, Covalynt builds custom engineered workflows and
applied data science solutions tailored to the specific facts,
systems, and risks of a case. These bespoke engagements address
root-cause data issues—such as complex identity graphs,
multi-defendant data feeds, or unusual notice channels.
Covalynt's methodology has been deployed in a wide range of
privacy, consumer, and antitrust matters, including federal and
state cases involving some of the world's largest technology, data,
and consumer brands. The company's tools and testimony have been
used in cases such as Lopez v. Apple, Inc., Katz-Lacabe et al. v.
Oracle America, Inc., Mackmin et al. v. Visa Inc. et al., and
Frasco v. Flo Health, Inc., Google LLC, and Meta Platforms, Inc.,
among others.
Across these matters, Covalynt's role has expanded from fraud
detection and claim validation to broader responsibilities such as
class data engineering, notice optimization, and ongoing analytics
that support negotiations, fee petitions, and post-distribution
reporting.
"We built Covalynt for the data reality of modern cases," Beshada
added. "That means transparent, reproducible logic, rigorous
security, and solutions that make litigation fairer and more
efficient for courts, class members, and counsel on all sides."
About Covalynt
Covalynt is a technology company dedicated to solving the hardest
data problems in complex litigation. Combining decades of trial and
settlement experience with advanced systems engineering and applied
data science, Covalynt delivers structured, defensible solutions
across the litigation lifecycle—from class data engineering and
notice optimization to AI-driven fraud detection and bespoke
analytics. Covalynt's products and methodologies have been deployed
in some of the highest-profile privacy, consumer, and antitrust
cases in U.S. and international courts. For more information, visit
