AMERICAN HOMES 4 RENT, L.P., a Nevada Corporation; and DOES 1 to 10, inclusive, Case No. 2:25-cv-02418 (D. Nev., Dec. 6, 2025), is brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA") as a result of the Defendant's actions of depriving Plaintiff and Collective Action Members of overtime wages they have lawfully earned for working more than 40 hours in each workweek The Plaintiff and Collective Action Members regularly worked more than 40 hours a workweek. However, Defendant does not pay Plaintiff and Collective Action Members their overtime work hours at a rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay. As a result of Defendants' universal policy, Plaintiff and similarly situated employees were required to perform at least twenty-five minutes, if not more, of unpaid work each week (at least 5 minutes of boot up time each day, 5 days a week). This uncompensated time was mandatory and integral to Plaintiff's and similarly situated employees' job duties, creating a consistent and measurable burden across all affected employees, says the complaint. The Plaintiff began working for Defendant as a Leasing Agent on March 25, 2024. American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. is now and/or at all times mentioned in this Complaint, a Nevada based business, and the owner and operator of an industry, business and/or facility doing business in the State of Utah and across the country.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Heath A Havey, Esq.

AMERICARE SYSTEMS, INC., doing business as AMERICARE SENIOR LIVING, Case No. 6:24-cv-03207-BP (W.D. Mo.), the Hon. Judge Beth Phillips entered an order granting the Plaintiffs' motion to certify class. The Court certifies the following class pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: "All persons who worked at a facility in Missouri managed by Americare Systems, Inc. and who (1) obtained their position through ShiftKey, LLC and (2) worked more than 40 hours in a workweek from July 17, 2021, to the filing of the Complaint through Dec. 12, 2025." In addition, on or before Jan. 15, 2026, the parties shall jointly propose a Phase II Scheduling Order, the Court says. Accordingly, the parties are directed to confer and jointly propose a Phase II Scheduling Order that contains deadlines for completing all remaining tasks in this litigation (including a deadline for submitting a revised Rule 23 Notice). The parties’ joint proposal should also include (1) a proposed trial date and (2) an anticipated length of trial and shall be filed on or before Jan. 15, 2026. The only remaining issue to be resolved is whether the numerosity requirement of Rule 23(a)(1) has been satisfied. The Plaintiffs have now explained how they determined the class consists of more than 200 people, and there is no reason to set forth their calculations (particularly because Defendant does not dispute them). The Court now concludes the numerosity requirement has been satisfied; therefore, given the Court's conclusions in the Prior Order, the Motion for Class Certification is granted. The Plaintiffs are Workers who executed an agreement with Shiftkey permitting them to view and bid on shifts posted on ShiftKey's website. Plaintiffs bid on, won, and worked shifts posted on ShiftKey’s website for temporary positions with at least one of the Facilities in Missouri. They allege they were misclassified as independent contractors (instead of being classified as employees), leading to them not receiving time and a half for overtime. But instead of asserting claims against the Facilities where they worked (or the Facilities’ parent corporation) they have sued Defendant, alleging it employed them and made (or at least is liable for) the decisions leading to them not receiving the overtime wage required by the Missouri's Minimum Wage Law ("MMWL"). The Defendant provides management services to more than 80 skilled nursing or assisted living facilities located in at least four different states, including Missouri. A copy of the Court's order dated Dec. 12, 2025, is available from PacerMonitor.com at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=SC7kHP at no extra charge.[CC] ANTHROB'S RESTAURANT: Ferrer Sues Over Unpaid Minimum Wage ---------------------------------------------------------- Melchor Ferrer, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated employees v. ANTHROB'S RESTAURANT CORP. (DBA CAFE RIGATTA) and ANTHONY LABRIOLA, individually, Case No. 1:25-cv-10141 (S.D.N.Y., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), the New York Labor Law ("NYLL") as recently amended by the Wage Theft Prevention Act ("WTPA"), and related provisions from Title 12 of New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations ("NYCRR") to recover, inter alia, unpaid minimum wage compensation for Plaintiff. The Defendants were required, under relevant New York State law, to pay and compensate Plaintiff at a minimum rate of $16.00 per hour (the "minimum wage"); however, Plaintiff was only compensated at a weekly rate of $350 in tips without any direct hourly wages from Defendants. The Defendants' conduct extended beyond Plaintiff to all other similarly situated employees; and at all times relevant to this Complaint, Defendants maintain a policy and practice of requiring Plaintiff and other employees to work without providing the proper compensation required by federal and state law and regulations, says the complaint. The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendants at its restaurant location in Pelham, New York. The Defendants owned and operated ANTHROB'S RESTAURANT CORP. (DBA CAFE RIGATTA), a corporate entity principally engaged in Westchester, New York.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Lina Stillman, Esq.

ARCHIES FOOTWEAR, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-50487 (N.D. Ill., November 23, 2025) arises from the Defendant's failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired people. The Defendant failed to provide its online content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology. As a result, the Plaintiff was injured when she attempted multiple times, most recently on June 11, 2025 to access Defendant's website from her home in an effort to shop for Defendant's products. The Plaintiff encountered barriers that denied her full and equal access to Defendant's online goods, content and services. Accordingly, the Plaintiff now seeks redress for Defendant's discriminatory conduct and asserts claims for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, says the suit.

Plaintiffs Gonzalez and Garcia have been employed by the Defendants from in or around September 2024 through the present. Throughout the Plaintiffs' employment with Defendants, the Plaintiffs and their tipped coworkers regularly observed discrepancies and irregularities in Defendants' tip records and in the amounts of tips distributed to employees.

Asarco LLC, a Delaware corporation, Defendant, Case No. 4:25-cv-00663-RCC (D. Ariz., December 2, 2025) is a collective action brought by the Plaintiff to recover unpaid wages and other damages from the Defendant pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act. According to the complaint, Asarco's off the clock policy, rounding policy, and bonus pay scheme violate federal law by failing to compensate Plaintiff Gonzales and the other hourly employees at least one and a half times their regular rates of pay -- based on all remuneration -- for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek.

ATTYX, LLC and GRANT YOUNG, individually, Case No. 2:25-cv-06746-SIL (E.D.N.Y., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), the New York Labor Law ("NYLL") as recently amended by the Wage Theft Prevention Act ("WTPA"), to recover, inter alia, unpaid overtime wage compensation for the Plaintiff. The Defendants were required, under relevant New York State law, to compensate Plaintiff with overtime pay at one and one-half the regular rate for work in excess of 40 hours per work week. The Plaintiff worked well in excess of 40 hours per workweek, as determined by the work schedule set by Defendant GRANT YOUNG. The Defendant regularly exercised his authority to require Plaintiff to work additional hours beyond her scheduled work hours without providing the requisite overtime compensation. This included instances from November 2023 until September 19, 2025, where Plaintiff was required to work approximately 54 hours per week without receiving appropriate overtime compensation, says the complaint. The Plaintiff was employed primarily as a plumber, and additionally performed roof and solar panel repairs and did any additional tasks assigned by Defendant.

(b) Approving the proposed Notice and Consent to Join form (Exhibit 3); (c) Directing the Defendant to provide within 14 days an electronic spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel or comma-delimited format a roster of all individuals that fit the definition above (the Potential Opt-In Plaintiffs) that includes their full names, dates of employment, rate(s) of pay, locations worked, job titles, last known mailing addresses, personal email addresses, and cellular phone numbers (FLSA Class List); and (d) Directing that the Court-Facilitated Notice and Consent to Join forms be sent to such Potential Opt-In Plaintiffs within 14 days of receipt of the using the Potential Opt-In Plaintiffs' mailing and email addresses.

BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE, Case No. 2:25-cv-11625 (C.D. Cal., Dec. 7, 2025), is brought against Defendant for violating the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (the "ECOA") as a result of the Defendant's failure to provide requisite notice after revoking the Plaintiff credit accounts. The Defendant failed to provide Plaintiff and class members with the requisite notice after revoking their credit accounts. Instead, Defendant sent Plaintiff and class members uniform letters stating: "Negative public record information identified." This vague, boilerplate statement is insufficient because it does not provide specific reasons for the adverse action, and it omits any mention of the recipient's right to a statement of specific reasons, says the complaint. The Plaintiff received a notice from Defendant closing the account as of August 15, 2023, and giving the following as the only reason for the account closure: "Negative public record information identified." Barclays Bank Delaware is Delaware state-chartered bank with its principal place of business in Wilmington Delaware.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Matthew Jacobs, Esq.

CLEANCHOICE ENERGY, INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-13623 (D. Mass., December 1, 2025) seeks to redress CleanChoice's alleged deceptive and bad faith pricing and advertising practices that have caused tens of thousands of residential and commercial customers in Massachusetts, including Plaintiff, to pay considerably more for their electricity than they should otherwise have paid. According to the complaint, the Defendant has taken advantage of the deregulation of Massachusetts' retail electricity market by misrepresenting how its electricity rates are calculated. CleanChoice also takes advantage of environmentally conscious consumers by promising to provide "pollution free" electricity sourced from local renewable sources when it does no such thing. Among other conduct challenged in this action, CleanChoice makes these false and deceptive claims in the customer contracts and enrollment materials CleanChoice provides to Massachusetts customers, says the suit. CleanChoice's representation in its customer contract regarding how its variable electricity rate is determined is false and deceptive, and designed to take advantage of consumers' good faith and their lack of knowledge about, and access to, accurate information about wholesale market conditions and CleanChoice's costs to supply customers' electricity. In reality, CleanChoice did not provide its customers with prices based on market conditions or its costs to provide energy supply service, but rather used a pricing methodology that focused on maximizing profits, the suit alleges. CleanChoice is an independent energy service company that sells residential and commercial electricity in Massachusetts' deregulated retail electricity market.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: D.

Tossed -------------------------------------------------------- In the class action lawsuit captioned as JOHN IASELLA, for himself and for others similarly situated, v. CLINT MILLER, Case No. 3:25-cv-00032-HRH (D. Alaska), the Hon. Judge H. Russel Holland entered an order denying the Plaintiff's amended motion for class certification. The Plaintiff's amended class action motion fails to qualify this case as a Rule 23(b)(3) class action. The State of Alaska has exercised its prerogative of commencing a collective action that will, as it progresses, sweep up the entirety of plaintiff’s proposed class. The State's action seeks all of the relief that plaintiff would seek through its proposed class action. The State's action fulfills the requirements of Rule 23(b)(3)(C) as regards the desirability of concentrating litigation on plaintiff’s claims in a particular forum. The court finds that certification of a class action in this case would not be superior to other available methods of adjudication. The Plaintiff and proposed class members contend that defendant has violated the Alaska Unfair Trade and Consumer Protection Act (AS 45.50.471, et seq.) by feigning unavailability to perform the claimants’ hunting contracts, not providing the agreed-upon hunts, and by failing to refund fees paid by clients in connection with failed hunts. The Plaintiff contends that defendant has systematically deceived and defrauded clients who hoped to go on a guided, Alaska big game hunt. Plaintiff claims that defendant’s failure to refund prepaid fees where the defendant has failed to provide the agreed-upon hunt, is an unfair trade practice. Class Definition The plaintiff's amended motion for class certification and the plaintiff's complaint contained slightly different definitions of the proposed class. This discrepancy was called to the attention of the parties. By order of November 25, 2025,5 the court granted plain tiff’s motion to reformulate the class definition. Consistent with plaintiff's complaint, the proposed class is defined as: "All persons, who entered into a contract with Defendant Clint Miller to act as a Hunting Guide in the State of Alaska at any time within the preceding 2 years from the filing of this Complaint, and continuing through the present, and who were not provided the guide service, and were not refunded the fees they paid to Defendant Miller." The Defendant is a registered hunting guide in the state of Alaska.

COMMEMORATIVE BRANDS, INC., TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY, and ICONIC GROUP, INC., d/b/a BALFOUR & CO, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-25468-XXXX (S.D. Fla., November 23, 2025) arises out of Defendants' failure to take all reasonable and necessary measures to keep Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information safe and secure from unauthorized access. On September 23, 2025, an administrator erroneously sent a batch of W-2 forms to an unauthorized individual. Balfour & Co learned that private Information contained on its network was accessed by the unauthorized third-party. Moreover, on October 14, 2025, Balfour & Co began sending notice letters to impacted individuals. As a result of Balfour & Co's inadequate digital security and notice process, Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information was exposed to criminals.

CONDUENT BUSINESS SERVICES, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-18058 (D.N.J., December 1, 2025) is a class action against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and similarly situated Class Members' sensitive personally identifiable information and personal health information, which, as a result, is now in criminal cyberthieves' possession. The Plaintiff and Class Members are current and former patients of dental or medical providers with whom Defendant provides revenue cycle management services. In order to obtain services from their providers and with Defendant, the Plaintiff and Class Members were and are required to entrust them with their sensitive, non-public private information. On January 13, 2025, hackers targeted and accessed Defendant's network server and stole Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive, confidential PII and PHI stored therein, causing widespread injuries to Plaintiff and Class Members. The Defendant failed to adequately protect Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information––and failed to even encrypt or redact this highly sensitive data, alleges the suit. To recover from Defendant for these harms, the Plaintiff, on his own behalf and on behalf of the Class, brings claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of third-party beneficiary contract, and unjust enrichment to address Defendant's inadequate safeguarding of Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information in its care.

CONNECTAMERICA.COM, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-13728-DJC (D. Mass., Dec. 6, 2025), is brought against the Defendant under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") as a result of the Defendant's artificial or prerecorded voice messages. The Defendant routinely violates the TCPA by using an artificial or prerecorded voice in connection with non-emergency calls it places to telephone numbers assigned to a cellular telephone service, without prior express consent. More specifically, upon information and good faith belief, Defendant routinely uses an artificial or prerecorded voice in connection with non-emergency calls it places to wrong or reassigned cellular telephone numbers. The Plaintiff does not have, nor did he ever have, an account with Defendant. The Plaintiff does not do, nor did he ever do, business with Defendant. The Plaintiff was never a customer of Defendant. The Plaintiff did not provide his cellular telephone number to Defendant. The Plaintiff did not provide Defendant with consent to place calls, in connection with which it used an artificial or prerecorded voice, says the complaint.

Costco Wholesale Corporation, Case No. 2:23-cv-07904-SJB-ST (E.D.N.Y.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order: (1) extending the time to complete class certification discovery from Dec. 11 to Jan. 9, 2026, for the sole purpose of completing the remaining post-deposition document production; and (2) extending the time for the Plaintiffs to initiate their class certification motion from Jan. 22 to Feb. 20. The parties are pleased to report that they have completed depositions, as Plaintiff deposed Defendant’s Rule 30(b)(6) witness on November 6. Since the November 6 deposition, the parties have been working to close out paper discovery. Defendant has produced some additional documents and amended interrogatories. The production of several documents, however, remains outstanding. The parties have been working collegially through this process, so no motion practice appears necessary, but some additional time to complete the search and production is required. Costco is a global, membership-based warehouse club retailer.

CSC HOLDINGS, LLC, Case No. 3:25-cv-10485-SK (N.D. Cal., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought against Defendant, arising from Defendant's continuing practice of deceiving consumers as to the true prices associated with its broadband internet service. The Defendant has engaged in a bait-and-switch scheme of advertising a fictitiously low-price for its internet service and then automatically adding on a "Network Enhancement Fee" (alternatively, the "NEF"), which artificially inflates the true cost of Defendant's internet service. The Defendant mischaracterizes its NEF as an "investment in its network and infrastructure to deliver the best technology and services possible." But, behind the guise of Defendant's benevolence is the reality that the NEF is implemented solely to extort more money from Defendant's customers. Indeed, the NEF is nothing more than an empty "junk fee" imposed on customers for profit and Defendant deceives its customers by advertising prices that fail to include the NEF. By obscuring the nature and existence of the NEF, and thereby deceiving customers as to the true cost of Defendant's internet service, Defendant gains an unfair upper hand on competitors that fairly disclose their true internet service costs. Such fees are further deceptive and/or unfair in that they interfere with consumers' ability to price-compare and manipulate consumers into paying fees that are either hidden entirely or not presented until after consumers have made their purchasing decisions. The Plaintiff and Class members suffer continuing injury from Defendant's deceptive and fraudulent practices, says the complaint. The Plaintiff has maintained an account with Defendant for internet service. The Defendant is a limited liability company owned solely by Optimum Communications, Inc., a corporation incorporated and headquartered in New York.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Jeffrey D.

DAY & NIGHT INC., Case No. 4:25-cv-05858 (D. Colo., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought based upon Defendant's failure to remove physical barriers to access the property and violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and the ADA's Accessibility Guidelines ("ADAAG"). The Plaintiff has visited the Property twice before as a customer and advocate for the disabled. The Plaintiff intends to revisit the Property within six months after the barriers to access detailed in this Complaint are removed and the Property is accessible again.

DH7 ENTERPRISE, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-14311 (N.D. Ill., November 23, 2025) arises from Defendant's failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired people. The Defendant failed to provide its online content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology. As a result, the Plaintiff was injured when he attempted multiple times, most recently on June 3, 2025, to access Defendant's website from his home in an effort to shop for Defendant's products. The Plaintiff encountered significant barriers that denied his full and equal access to Defendant's online goods, content and services.

DOLLAR FINANCIAL GROUP INC. D/B/A MONEY MART, Case No. 2:25-cv-06873 (E.D. Pa., Dec. 7, 2025), is brought arising from the Defendant's failure to protect highly sensitive data. The Defendant stores a litany of highly sensitive personal identifiable information ("PII") about its current and former employees and customers. But Defendant lost control over that data when cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently protected computer systems in a data breach (the "Data Breach"). It is unknown for precisely how long the cybercriminals had access to Defendant's network before the breach was discovered. In other words, Defendant had no effective means to prevent, detect, stop, or mitigate breaches of its systems—thereby allowing cybercriminals unrestricted access to its current and former employees' and customers' PII. Cybercriminals were able to breach 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, Defendant's failures placed the Class's PII in a vulnerable position—rendering them easy targets for cybercriminals. The exposure of one's PII to cybercriminals is a bell that cannot be unrung. Before this data breach, its current and former employees' and customers' private information was exactly that--private. Not anymore. Now, their private information is forever exposed and unsecure, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is a Data Breach victim. The Defendant is a financial services firm that provides payday loans and other services throughout the United States--including in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, and Louisiana.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Kenneth J.

DYSON DIRECT, INC. Case No. 2:25-cv-00821-DJC-AC (E.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Daniel Calabretta entered an order that: 1. The Defendant's motion to strike is denied; and 2. The Defendant's motion to stay is denied as moot; and 3. Within fourteen days of this Order, the parties shall file a joint status report pursuant to the Court's initial case management Order. The Court declines to strike Plaintiffs' class allegations before the parties have had an opportunity to proceed through discovery and the class certification process. Accordingly, without prejudice to Defendant raising the class allegations arguments in a more appropriate posture, the Court declines to strike the class allegations sua sponte under Rule 12(f)(1). On April 26, 2024, the Plaintiff Nancy Tevis purchased Defendant Dyson Direct, Inc.'s Big Ball Multi Floor Canister Vacuum. Eight days later, on May 4, 2024, the Product was delivered to Plaintiff. The Plaintiff alleges that the Product's express warranty states: "Your Dyson machine is warranted against original defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase." The Plaintiff alleges that the Product's express warranty is in violation of California's Song-Beverly Act, which requires that an express warranty not commence earlier than the "date of the delivery of the good." Dyson is the official US sales and support entity for Dyson, the technology company, operating their website (dyson.com).

The Defendants maintained a policy and practice of requiring the Plaintiff and the FLSA collective employees to work more than 40 hours per week without providing them with any additional compensation. The Defendants have willfully and intentionally committed widespread violations of the FLSA, by engaging in a systematic pattern and practice of failing to pay their employees, including the Plaintiff, any overtime compensation whatsoever for all hours worked over 40 each workweek. The Defendants knew or showed reckless disregard for whether their conduct violated the FLSA and NJWHL, says the complaint.

EATRAMEN HOLDINGS, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-13707-JEK (D. Mass., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought arising from Defendant's failure to make its website, www.mechanoodlebar.com (the "Website") accessible to legally blind individuals, which violates the effective communication and equal access requirements of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). This case arises out of Defendant's policy and practice of denying the blind access to the Website, including the goods and services offered by Defendant through the Website. Due to Defendant's failure and refusal to remove access barriers to the Website, blind individuals have been and are being denied equal access to the restaurant, as well as to the numerous goods, services and benefits offered to the public through the Website Because Defendant's website is not and has never been fully accessible, and because upon information and belief Defendant does not have, and has never had, adequate corporate policies that are reasonably calculated to cause its website to become and remain accessible, says the complaint.

FAHERTY BRAND, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-10105 (S.D.N.Y., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by the Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired persons. The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its website, and therefore denial of its products and services offered thereby, is a violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Because Defendant's interactive website, www.fahertybrand.com, including all portions thereof or accessed thereon (collectively, the "Website" or "Defendant's Website"), is not equally accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers, it violates the ADA. 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. By failing to make its Website available in a manner compatible with computer screen reader programs, Defendant deprives blind and visually-impaired individuals the benefits of its online goods, content, and services--all benefits it affords nondisabled individuals--thereby increasing the sense of isolation and stigma among those persons that Title III was meant to redress, says the complaint.

FLAGLER VILLAGE LAND TRUST, STEVEN B. GREENFIELD as Trustee, and HATCH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, LLC, d/b/a HATCH, Case No. 0:25-cv-62510-XXXX (S.D. Fla., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought for declaratory and injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, expenses and costs (including, but not limited to, court costs and expert fees) pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") as a result of discriminative property. The Defendants have discriminated, and continue to discriminate against the Plaintiff and others who are similarly situated by denying access to and full and equal enjoyment of goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and/or accommodations located at the Premises, as prohibited by the ADA, and by failing to remove architectural barriers pursuant to the ADA. The Plaintiff has visited the Premises and has been denied full and safe equal access to the facilities, and therefore suffered an injury in fact. The Plaintiff is continuously aware of the violations at Defendant's Premises and is aware that it would be a futile gesture to return to the Premises as long as those violations exist, and Plaintiff is not willing to suffer additional discrimination. The Plaintiff has suffered, and will continue to suffer, direct and indirect injury as a result of Defendant's discrimination until Defendant is compelled to comply with the requirements of the ADA, says the complaint. The Plaintiff has visited the Premises and has been denied full and safe equal access to the facilities, and therefore suffered an injury in fact. FLAGLER VILLAGE LAND TRUST, STEVEN B.

Snyder, et al. (re Flint Water Cases, Case No. 5:16-cv-10444-JEL-EAS (E.D. Mich.), the Hon. Judge Judith Levy entered an order denying the Defendant's motion to exclude or limit the expert testimony of Attorney Mae Wu and Dr. Larry Russell. While the Court finds that the United States' concerns do not, in the context of a bench trial, warrant exclusion of the Plaintiffs' proposed experts, the Court also notes that the admission of expert opinions does not guarantee that those opinions will ultimately be credited. Ms. Wu is an attorney with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Rice University, a law degree from Duke University School of Law, and a master's degree in environmental policy from the University of Cambridge. She has worked at the Natural Resources Defense Council and has served on the EPA's National Drinking Water Advisory Committee. Ms. Wu has testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee on the Flint Water Crisis, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the SDWA. From 2023 to 2025, she served as Deputy Assistant Administrator in the Office of Water at the EPA.

FLORIDA AG, LLC, J&D PRODUCE, INC. d/b/a LITTLE BEAR PARTNERS, INC. d/b/a LITTLE BEAR PRODUCE, and MARTIN VAZQUEZ, Case No. 7:25-cv-00560 (S.D. Tex., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought to recover damages for, among other things, unpaid wages, breach of contract, and forced labor brought by Plaintiffs and to secure and vindicate rights afforded them by, among other things, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act ("TVPRA"), the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), and their employment contracts. Throughout the course of Plaintiffs' employment, Florida Ag disregarded the promises it had made to Plaintiffs and the federal government, and instead Defendants violated Plaintiffs' rights under both federal law and the terms of their work contracts. Defendants paid Plaintiffs a wage rate below what was legally required, charged them illegal recruitment fees, made illegal deductions from their pay, failed to maintain accurate records of their hours and pay, and failed to provide them with adequate transportation, housing, and water as required by law. Florida Ag and Defendant Vazquez used physical aggression, intimidation, and threats of harm to coerce Plaintiffs to continue laboring for Defendants. Florida Ag and Defendant Vazquez retaliated against and threatened the physical safety of Plaintiffs who raised complaints about their wages and working conditions or participated in a federal investigation into Florida Ag's employment practices. Defendants' actions not only violated U.S. law and Plaintiffs' rights but also gave Defendants an unfair advantage over their U.S. business competitors who obeyed the law. As a result of Defendants' egregious misconduct, Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief, unpaid wages, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney's fees to redress these violations of law, says the complaint. The Plaintiffs worked for the Defendants. Florida Ag, LLC is a duly registered limited liability company based in Edinburg, Texas.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Deborah Osborn, Esq.

GOSUPPS.COM, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-50484 (N.D.

HEALTHCARE INTERACTIVE, INC. and DOES 1 through 20, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-4034 (D. Md., December 9, 2025) is a class action against the Defendants for their failure to properly secure and safeguard the personally identifiable information and protected health information ("PHI") that they collected and maintained as part of their regular business practices, including but not limited to, names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, dates of medical services, medical diagnosis information, physician or medical facility information, medical condition or treatment information, medical record number and Medicare or Medicaid numbers, and/or other personal information ("PII"). The complaint relates that the former and current Healthcare Interactive customers, patients, and employees are required to entrust Defendant with sensitive, non-public PII, without which Defendant could not perform their regular business activities. By obtaining, collecting, using, and deriving a benefit from the PII of Plaintiff and Class Members, Defendant assumed legal and equitable duties to those individuals to protect and safeguard that information from unauthorized access and intrusion. However, on July 8 and July 12, 2025, there was unauthorized access to Defendant's systems that allowed unauthorized third party access. The accessed data contained patients' PHI and PII. On December 2, 2025, Defendant began mailing letters to potentially impacted patients and individuals. The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff and Class Members have suffered injury as a result of Defendant's conduct. These injuries include: (i) invasion of privacy; (ii) lost or diminished value of PII; (iii) lost opportunity costs associated with attempting to mitigate the actual consequences of the Data Breach, including but not limited to lost time; (iv) loss of benefit of the bargain; and (v) the continued and certainly increased risk to their PII, which: (a) remains unencrypted and available for unauthorized third parties to access and abuse; and (b) remain backed up in Defendant's possession and is subject to further unauthorized disclosures so long as Defendant failed to undertake appropriate and adequate measures to protect the PII. The Plaintiff seeks to remedy these harms and prevent any future data compromise on behalf of herself and all similarly situated persons whose personal data was compromised and stolen as a result of the Data Breach and which remains at risk due to Defendant's inadequate data security practices.

Hub Cyber Security Ltd. (RE HUB CYBER SECURITY LTD.), Case No. 1:23-cv-05764-AS (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Arun Subramanian entered an order preliminarily approving settlement and providing for notice. 1. Pursuant to Rule 23(a) and (b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court certifies, solely for purposes of effectuating the proposed Settlement, a Settlement Class consisting of: "All persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded Hub Securities1 pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents issued in connection with the business combination between Hub Cyber Security (Israel) Ltd. ("Legacy Hub") and Mount Rainier, which was announced on March 23, 2022 and closed on Feb. 28, 2023, and were damaged thereby." Only investors who purchased or acquired Hub Securities pursuant or traceable to the Offering Documents (i.e., from March 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023, both dates inclusive) are eligible for recovery under the Settlement. For purposes of this Settlement only, an investor is deemed to have purchased or otherwise acquired Hub Securities issued pursuant to the Offering Documents if an investor's Mount Rainier securities or Legacy Hub securities were converted into Hub Securities on or about March 1, 2023 as part of the business combination, even though the Legacy Hub securities were not registered in the Offering Documents. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) persons and entities that suffered no compensable losses; and (b)(i) Defendants; (ii) any person who served as a partner, control person, officer, and/or director of Hub or Mount Rainier between Feb. 10, 2021 and July 31, 2023, both dates inclusive, and members of their immediate families; (iii) present and former parents, subsidiaries, assigns, successors, affiliates, and predecessors of Hub or Mount Rainier; (iv) any entity in which the Defendants have or had a controlling interest; (v) any trust of which an Individual Defendant is the settler or which is for the benefit of an Individual Defendant and/or member(s) of their immediate families; (vi) Defendants' D&O Insurers; and (vii) the legal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns of any person or entity excluded under provisions (i) through (vi) hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, "affiliates" are persons or entities that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by or are under common control with Hub, or one of the Individual Defendants. 2. The Court finds and concludes that pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and for the purposes of the Settlement only, the Plaintiffs are adequate class representatives and certifies them as Class Representatives for the Settlement Class. The Court also appoints Lead Counsel, the law firms of Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") and The Law Offices of Jacob Sabo, including Casey E. Sadler, Esq., of GPM, as Class Counsel for the Settlement Class, pursuant to Rule 23(g) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 3.

Juliet Charron, in her official capacity as Director, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare; Sasha O'Connell, in her official capacity as Deputy Director, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare; Ross Edmunds, in his official capacity as Administrator, Division of Behavioral Health, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-00676-AKB (D. Idaho), Judge Amanda K. Brailsford of the United States District Court for the District of Idaho denied the Plaintiffs' Motion for Temporary Restraining Order without prejudice and set a hearing schedule for the motion for preliminary injunction. The Plaintiffs are five Medicaid beneficiaries (or their guardians) who have significant mental illness and receive Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) services. The Plaintiffs explain that ACT is a unique model of bundled care that provides comprehensive services to patients with serious mental health illnesses. The Plaintiffs allege about 400 to 500 people across the state receive ACT services. In July 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services at the Department of Health and Human Services approved an amendment to Idaho's Medicaid plan to add ACT services. IDHW contracts with Magellan Healthcare (Magellan) to administer the Idaho Behavioral Plan, which offers services such as ACT to Idaho Medicaid patients. In turn, Magellan contracts with Idaho healthcare providers and reimburses them for providing ACT services to Medicaid-eligible patients. The Plaintiffs allege that Magellan issued a notice to ACT providers on October 31, 2025, indicating it would no longer recognize bundled reimbursement after December 1, 2025. The Plaintiffs contend that ACT cannot function without bundled reimbursement and that ACT services will cease statewide on December 1 because of Magellan's notice. Further, the Plaintiffs allege upon information and belief that the Defendants either directed or authorized Magellan's purported unbundling of ACT services and, regardless, have ultimate responsibility for administering the Medicaid program in Idaho in accordance with applicable law. On November 26, 2025, the Plaintiffs filed this action, alleging two claims under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 U.S.C. Section 12132, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (RA), 29 U.S.C. Section 794. Further, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for injunctive relief, including a temporary restraining order to require the Defendants to continue providing ACT services. The Court found the Plaintiffs have failed to make a clear showing they are entitled to a temporary restraining order. Under Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may obtain injunctive relief before final judgment in certain limited circumstances. Both preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders are extraordinary remedies that should be awarded only upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief. Regarding likelihood of success on the merits, the Court noted the gravamen of the Plaintiffs' complaint is that the Defendants either directed, authorized, or allowed Magellan's unbundling of ACT services, and as result, the Plaintiffs' providers will not be able to provide those services. The Plaintiffs' allegation that the Defendants have caused the unbundling, however, is based only on information and belief. The Plaintiffs offer no allegations about the Defendants' involvement in any decision to unbundle ACT services. The Court stated the absence of allegations about the Defendants' involvement in ceasing ACT services is compounded by the lack of factual support for the Plaintiffs' assertion that ACT services will indeed cease on December 1, 2025. For example, the Plaintiffs have not submitted Magellan's October 31, 2025, notice informing providers of the unbundling beginning December 1 or any factual support for their assertion that Magellan and state officials confirmed ACT services will terminate in meetings held earlier this week. Further, the Plaintiffs have not submitted the declaration of any provider attesting that they have received notice of the unbundling; they cannot provide ACT services under Magellan's new billing requirements; and they will cease providing services as alleged on December 1. The Court also noted the Plaintiffs have not shown that they have received notice their ACT services will terminate as alleged. Rather, their declarations state only that each was recently informed that funding for the ACT services may be cut. For these reasons, the Court concluded the Plaintiffs are not likely to succeed on the merits on this factual record. Moreover, the Court found the legal underpinnings of the Plaintiffs' claims under Section 1983 are questionable. The Plaintiffs allege the Defendants' conduct of authorizing, directing, or allowing ACT services to cease violates the public services portion of the ADA (Title II) and the RA. The Court noted the Ninth Circuit has held that a plaintiff cannot bring an action under Section 1983 against a state official to vindicate his rights under the ADA or the RA. Based on this authority, the Court stated the Plaintiffs' claims appear legally deficient as pled. Regarding irreparable harm, the Court acknowledged the Plaintiffs' declarations credibly describe significant mental-health issues and legitimate concerns if ACT services cease. However, the Court stated the Plaintiffs have not established ACT services will actually cease on December 1, 2025. Further, they also have not provided evidentiary support, such as a declaration from a medical care provider, describing the imminent medical harm the Plaintiffs will suffer without ACT services. The Court denied the Plaintiffs' Motion for Temporary Restraining Order without prejudice. The Court ordered the Defendants to respond to the Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction by December 9, 2025. The Plaintiffs may reply by December 13, 2025. The Court will hold a hearing on the Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction on December 19, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in the United States Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, Courtroom 2.

INTERDENT SERVICES CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-01732-SAB (E.D. Cal., Dec. 3, 2025) alleges violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act. The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant aids, employs, agrees, and conspires with third parties, including Google, LLC ("Google") and NextRoll, Inc. ("NextRoll" or "AdRoll") (collectively the "Third Parties"), to intercept patients' communications as they seek dental services and book medical appointments on the Website. These tracking technologies embedded on the Website by Defendant are intentionally installed to track and disclose patient activity in real time to third parties. Despite its legal and ethical duties to maintain its patients' confidential information, the Defendant instead secretly discloses Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive and confidential medical information with third parties. In doing so, Defendant undermines the importance of safeguarding the identities and personal medical information of individuals seeking dental services. Moreover, they breach the trust of patients—by violating state and federal law, says the suit. InterDent Service Corporation provides dental services. The Company offers services such as general dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, prosthodontic and oral surgery. [BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Sarah N.

The grab bars are misconfigured and unusable to a disabled individual in a wheelchair. The coat rack is out of reach to a disabled individual in a wheelchair. The toilet paper is out of reach to a disabled individual in a wheelchair. The tv trash can obstructs the clear maneuvering space of the restroom.

LGAA, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 4:25-cv-00136 (D. Utah, Dec. 3, 20250) is an action arising from the Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard Private Information that was entrusted to it, and its accompanying responsibility to store and transfer that information. The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant owed the Plaintiff and Class Members a duty to take all reasonable and necessary measures to keep the Private Information it collected safe and secure from unauthorized access. Defendant solicited, collected, used, and derived a benefit from the Private Information, yet breached its duty by failing to implement or maintain adequate security practices. The Defendant, 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 it maintained for Plaintiff and Class Members, causing the exposure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information. As a result of the Defendant's inadequate digital security and notice process, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was exposed to criminals, says the suit.

MOON JUICE, INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-09977 (S.D.N.Y., December 2, 2025) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its interactive website, https://moonjuice.com, to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired persons in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York State General Business Law. During Plaintiff's visits to the website, the last occurring on July 13, 2025, in an attempt to purchase Brain Dust from Defendant and to view the information on the website, the Plaintiff encountered multiple access barriers that denied Plaintiff a shopping experience similar to that of a sighted person and full and equal access to the goods and services offered to the public and made available to the public. He was unable to locate pricing and was not able to add the item to the cart due to broken links, pictures without alternate attributes and other barriers on Defendant's website, says the suit.

NACION SUSHI FLORIDA, LLC., a Florida Limited Liability Company D/B/A NACION SUSHI, Case No. 1:25-cv-25671-XXXX (S.D. Fla., Dec. 4, 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://nacionsushi.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.

OPENAI L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership and MIXPANEL, INC., a Delaware Corporation, Defendants, Case No. 3:25-cv-10312 (N.D. Cal., December 1, 2025) is a class action arising from a data security incident in which an unauthorized actor accessed Mixpanel, Inc.'s systems and exported datasets relating to Mixpanel's customers, including OpenAI, L.P. According to the complaint, due to the data security incident, personal and analytics data associated with Plaintiff's OpenAI API account -- including name, email address, approximate location, browser and operating system, referring websites, and OpenAI user and/or organization identifiers -- was exported from Mixpanel's systems without authorization.

Orrstown Bank, Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-00667, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the suit, which was removed from the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, is brought against the Defendant for unjust enrichment and alleged violations of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. On July 11, 2025, the Defendant filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and for lack of jurisdiction, which Judge Keli M. Neary granted on Nov. 5, 2025. The Court finds that Pryde has failed to show he suffered an injury in fact with respect to Orrstown Bank's overdraft service disclosure. He also failed to state a claim regarding the amount charged by Orrstown Bank in connection with its overdraft service. With his federal claims eliminated, the Court declines to exercise jurisdiction over his state-law claims. The case is dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff Aaron Pryde is granted leave to file an amended complaint within twenty-one (21) days of this order. If Pryde fails to file an amended complaint within the above timeframe, the Court shall close this action and remand the state law claims back to the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas.

PRODRIVERS WEST, INC., a Georgia corporation doing business as PRODRIVERS; and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, Case No. 2:25-cv-02451-SB-ADS (C.D. Cal.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order granting Ex Parte Application for Relief Under F.R.C.P. Rule. The Plaintiff requests that the Court grant Plaintiff an extension of his Motion for Class Certification deadline and related discovery deadlines or an extension that the Court otherwise finds reasonable under the circumstances. The prejudice Plaintiff now faces is solely the result of the Defendant's bad faith conduct and scheduling conflicts beyond Plaintiff's control. The Plaintiff and his counsel take their duty to the putative class very seriously. Preserving the current class certification deadline, while several dispositive Motions are pending, would irreparably harm the Plaintiff and his counsel's ability to adequately represent the rights of Class Members. Because the Defendant refuses to produce class wide contact information absent a court order compelling them to do so, and because the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel discovery responses has been rescheduled from Nov. 20, 2025, to Jan. 14, 2026—weeks after the fact discovery cut-off of Dec. 26, 2025, the Plaintiff will be unable to obtain the discovery he needs to certify this Action. Although Plaintiff served Set One of his discovery on May 9, 2025, Defendant ProDrivers West Inc. has still failed to provide any substantive class-wide discovery, including the production of a Person Most Knowledgeable (PMK) for deposition.

SALES EDGE OF VIRGINIA, INC., SETS, LLC, and O'REILLY AUTO ENTERPRISES, LLC, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-76 (W.D. Va., December 9, 2025) is a class action seeking all available relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA"), the Virginia Misclassification Law ("VML"), and for unpaid wages in violation of the Virginia Wage Payment Act ("VWPA"). The complaint relates that the Defendants jointly employed Plaintiff and other similarly situated non-exempt workers, to travel to O'Reilly Auto Parts retailers and set up store displays and shelving for large scale retail installations ("Crew Members"). The typical schedule that Plaintiff and Class Members were assigned to work in stores was 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday thru Thursday, and 7:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Friday, subject to changes or extensions as dictated by Defendants and the needs of the particular job. The Plaintiff and Class Members were expected to travel between job sites on evenings and weekends, so as not to interfere with their in-store obligations. The Plaintiff and other Class Members were regularly required to travel five hours or more per week for work, and sometimes as much as fourteen 14 hours at a time. According to the complaint, the Defendants intentionally misclassified employees to avoid properly paying their employees overtime at a rate of time and one half times their regular rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek as required under the FLSA. The Defendants also willfully and knowingly misclassified Plaintiff and Crew Members as independent contractors and failed to pay all wages due in violation of the VML and VWPA. Plaintiff is an adult resident of State Road, North Carolina who worked for Defendants as a Crew Member from approximately 2023 until August 11, 2025.

According to the complaint, due to Defendant's negligence and insufficient data security, cybercriminals easily infiltrated Defendant's inadequately protected networks on or around November 12, 2025 and accessed the PII of Plaintiff and similarly situated current and former customers of Defendant's clients. The Plaintiff and the Class Members will have to deal with the danger of identity thieves possessing and misusing their private information.

Cal., Dec. 3, 2025) is a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of all patients who scheduled or requested an appointment for dental services on the website, www.brightnow.com (the "Website"). According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, despite legal and ethical duties to maintain patients' confidential information, Defendant instead secretly intercepts and discloses the Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive and confidential dental information to third parties. In doing so, the Defendant undermines the importance of safeguarding the identities and personal medical information of individuals seeking dental services. Moreover, it breaches the trust of patients—by violating state and federal law. Unbeknownst to the Plaintiff and Class Members, and contrary to the Defendant's duties as a dental provider, the Defendant discloses its patients' PHI to third parties, including Google, for targeted advertising purposes. Due to Defendant's illegal activity, Plaintiff brings this action seeking legal and equitable remedies, says the suit.

SMITH'S FOOD & DRUG CENTERS, INC., and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, Case No. 3:24-cv-00269-ART-CSD (D. Nev.), the Hon. Judge Traum entered an order granting motion for preliminary approval of settlement agreement. Brian Dempsey sues on behalf of himself and similarly situated and typical persons to recover overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state statutory law. The parties have reached a settlement agreement. Parties move for conditional certification of the FLSA collective action and Rule 23 class for settlement purposes; preliminary approval of the parties’ Settlement Agreement; approval of the notice attached to the settlement and proposed distribution plan; and a final fairness hearing. The motion is GRANTED with additional instructions. The parties' joint motion for preliminary approval of collective and class action settlement is granted. The parties' joint motion for preliminary approval of collective and class action settlement is denied as moot. The following class of persons are certified in this action solely for the purposes of the Settlement: "Individuals who worked as ASMs at Smith's in the State of Nevada between June 25, 2021, and the date of the Court's Final Approval Order and who did not opt into the Lovendahl Lawsuit." The Parties' Settlement Agreement is granted preliminary approval as it meets the criteria for preliminary settlement approval. The Settlement falls within the range of possible approval as fair, adequate, and reasonable to all potential members of the Settlement Class when balanced against the probable outcome of further litigation, and ultimately relating to liability and damages issues, and appears to be the product of arm’s length and informed negotiations. The Plaintiff Brian Dempsey is appointed as Class Representatives along with Consent to Join, Declarant Plaintiff Toni Quinn. The Court preliminarily approves a Class Representative Payment in the amount of $15,000.00 to Plaintiff Dempsey, and $2,500.00 to Plaintiff Quinn. Joshua Buck and Leah L.

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO., Case No. 3:19-cv-00083-JSC (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley entered an order granting preliminary approval of the class action settlement as follows: 1) This action is provisionally certified as a class action, for settlement purposes only, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23. The Court preliminarily certifies the following class: "All current or former employees of Southwest who, during their employment with Southwest at any time from Oct. 10, 2004 through Jan. 1, 2026, have taken short-term military leave from their employment with Southwest (i.e., military leave that lasted 14 days or fewer) and were subject to a CBA, except for employees subject to the agreement between Southwest and Transport Workers Union Local 550 covering meteorologists." 2) David Cash is conditionally appointed as Class Representative for the Settlement Class. 3) Outten & Golden LLP and The Barton Law Firm are conditionally appointed as Class Counsel for the Settlement Class. 4) The Plaintiffs shall file their motion for final approval by April 30, 2026. The motion shall include the information suggested by the Northern District of California Procedural Guidance for Class Action Settlements. 5) The parties shall appear before this Court for a final approval hearing on May 14, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 8, 450 Golden Gate Ave., San Francisco, California. Plaintiff Jayson Huntsman filed this action on behalf of himself and similarly situated Southwest employees alleging Southwest Airlines' policy of refusing to provide paid leave for periods of short-term military leave violates USERRA because Southwest provides paid leave for other comparable short-term absences from work. After five years of litigation, the parties reached a class action settlement and now seek preliminary approval of the settlement. Southwest is a low cost airline.

THE TEAM COMPANIES, LLC, Case No. 2:25-cv-11600 (C.D. Cal., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought against TTC for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated current and former personnel's ("Class Members") sensitive information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, government-issued identification numbers, and financial account information (collectively personally identifiable information ("PII")) and protected health information ("PHI"). TTC has a duty to secure, maintain, protect, and safeguard the Private Information that it collects and stores against unauthorized access and disclosure through reasonable and adequate data security measures. Despite TTC's duty to safeguard Private Information, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was compromised in a data breach when, on July 15, 2025, an unauthorized party gained access to TTC's internal network (the "Data Breach"). The Data Breach occurred in part because TTC stored Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information in an unencrypted, Internet-accessible environment. After TTC discovered the Data Breach on July 21, 2025, it conducted an investigation which concluded that between July 15, 2025 and July 26, 2025 an "unauthorized party was able to access data. Despite learning about the breach in July of 2025, TTC waited until November 21, 2025 to begin notifying impacted individuals of the unauthorized access. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's failure to implement and follow basic security procedures, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information is now exposed to cybercriminals, says the complaint. The Plaintiff received a data breach notice informing her that her Private Information provided to TTC was compromised during the Data Breach.

TUSCAN BRANDS, LLC d/b/a Tuscan Kitchen, Case No. 1:25-cv-13706-WGY (D. Mass., Dec. 5, 2025), is brought arising from Defendant's failure to make its website, https://tuscanbrands.com (the "Website") accessible to legally blind individuals, which violates the effective communication and equal access requirements of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). This case arises out of Defendant's policy and practice of denying the blind access to the Website, including the goods and services offered by Defendant through the Website. Due to Defendant's failure and refusal to remove access barriers to the Website, blind individuals have been and are being denied equal access to the restaurant, as well as to the numerous goods, services and benefits offered to the public through the Website Because Defendant's website is not and has never been fully accessible, and because upon information and belief Defendant does not have, and has never had, adequate corporate policies that are reasonably calculated to cause its website to become and remain accessible, says the complaint. The Plaintiff suffers from a permanent eye and medical condition that substantially and significantly impairs his vision and limits his ability to see. The Defendant specializes in Italian inspired restaurant brands, allowing users to browse different dining concepts, explore the company's brands, view individual restaurant menus, learn the company's story, discover career opportunities, cooking classes, special events, and the loyalty program, along with restaurant services such as reservation options for a chosen location.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Michael Ohrenberger, Esq.

TYSON FOODS, INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-14577 (N.D. Ill., December 1, 2025) arises from the Defendant's unlawful labor practices in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Illinois Minimum Wage Law. According to the complaint, the Defendant required Plaintiffs to perform work prior to the start of their shifts and after the end of their shifts without pay. Moreover, the Defendant deducted time from the pay of the Plaintiffs for a meal period when it was unlawful to do so under FLSA The Defendant's conduct also violates the state laws of Illinois because for the time Plaintiffs and other similarly situated employees worked over 40 hours in a week, Defendant failed to pay overtime wages.

UNITED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, Case No. 3:19-cv-06999-RS (N.D. Cal.), the Parties, on Jan. 15, 2026, will request an order approving the Notice Plan. On March 11, 2021, the Court granted Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification, certifying a Class pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3). The certified Class is defined as follows: "Any participant or beneficiary in a health benefit plan governed by ERISA whose request for coverage of residential treatment services for a mental illness or substance use disorder was denied by UBH, in whole or in part, on or after June 2, 2017, based upon UBH's 2017 Level of Care Guidelines ("LOCGs") or upon a Coverage Determination Guideline that incorporates the 2017 LOCGs, and whose request was not subsequently approved, in full, following an administrative appeal." The Class excludes any member of a fully-insured plan governed by both ERISA and the state law of Connecticut, Rhode Island or Texas, whose request for coverage of residential treatment was related to a substance use disorder, except that the Class includes members of plans governed by the state law of Texas who were denied coverage of substance use disorder services sought or provided outside of Texas. On April 26, 2025, the Court issued its Amended Order granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Modify the Class Certification Order and denying the Defendant's Motion to Decertify the Class. In the Amended Order, the Court certified a Reprocessing Subclass pursuant to Rule 23(b)(3), defined as follows: "Any member of the Class who incurred expenses for residential treatment for which benefits were not paid, except that the Reprocessing Subclass shall not include Class members whose written notification of denial, as reflected in UBH's records, (a) identifies a reason for denying the request for coverage other than the Class member's failure to satisfy UBH's 2017 LOCGs or a Coverage Determination Guideline that incorporates the 2017 LOCGs, and/or (b) specifies that the member's failure to satisfy the applicable Guideline was based, even in part, on a portion of the applicable Guideline that was unchallenged in this action. Members of the Reprocessing Subclass seek a reprocessing injunction to remedy UBH's abuse of discretion in denying their requests for coverage based upon an incorrect standard. The parties thus further request that the Court amend the definition of the certified Class by adding the following paragraph at the end of the definition: The Class seeks appropriate equitable remedies, including declaratory and injunctive relief. Only members of the Reprocessing Subclass seek a reprocessing remedy. The Class and Reprocessing Subclass do not seek an award of direct payment of monetary relief, including in the form of a surcharge. United is a health care and well-being company.

Mich.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order certifying a class pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3) and defined as follows: "All persons or entities sent one or more facsimiles from United Concordia (a) in October 2020 advertising a "10% discount on all PPE products" from Prophy Magic, or (b) in March 2021 advertising a "20% discount on DRNA products and services, including Chairside Amalgam Recycling buckets."" UCCI is excluded. The Plaintiff further requests that the Court enter an Order appointing the Plaintiff as the class representative, and appointing the Plaintiff's counsel as class counsel. The case returns to the Court after the Sixth Circuit reversed summary judgment for UCCI and held that the October 2020 Prophy Magic fax and the March 2021 DRNA fax are advertisements as a matter of law under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), The Sixth Circuit further held that Plaintiff did not receive the GradFin fax. Id. at 755. Only the Prophy Magic and DRNA faxes remain at issue. UCCI sent two unlawful fax advertisements to tens of thousands of providers using uniform target lists and relies on the same boilerplate PDA/DRG language for every class member. The Sixth Circuit has already resolved the advertisement issue, and the remaining merits question—prior express permission—presents a single, dispositive, class-wide issue. Dr. Brian J.

Ky.), the Hon. Judge entered an order granting Ramirez's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and orders the following: -- The United States is directed to release Petitioner Ramirez because of the unlawful detention in violation of his due process rights. -- The United States must provide him with a bond hearing before a neutral IJ pursuant to Section 1226. -- The United States must certify compliance with the Court's order by a filing on the docket immediately. -- Ramirez's motion for a temporary restraining order is moot. Because Ramirez is being detained pursuant to Section 1226, relevant regulations entitle him to a neutral bond hearing. Therefore, to afford Ramirez with the "full [due] process" under Section 1226, the United States must provide Ramirez with a neutral bond hearing before an IJ, the Court says.

VAT PROPERTIES LLC, Case No. 2:25-cv-01917 (E.D. Wis., Dec. 5, 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 ("ADA") and the ADA's Accessibility Guidelines, 28 C.F.R. Part 36 ("ADAAG"). The Defendant, as property owner, is responsible for complying with the ADA for both the exterior portions and interior portions of the Property. Even if there is a lease between Defendant, VAT PROPERTIES LLC, and a tenant allocating responsibilities for ADA compliance within the unit the tenant operates, that lease is only between the property owner and the tenant and does not abrogate the Defendant's requirement to comply with the ADA for the entire Property it owns, including the interior portions of the Property which are public accommodations The Plaintiff has visited the Property many times over a number of years as a customer and advocate for the disabled. Plaintiff intends to revisit the Property after the barriers to access detailed in this Complaint are removed and the Property is accessible again. The purpose of the revisit is to be a return customer of Michael's, to determine if and when the Property is made accessible and to substantiate already existing standing for this lawsuit for Advocacy Purposes, says the complaint. The Plaintiff uses a wheelchair for mobility purposes.

VITAS HEALTHCARE CORPORATION, Case No. 1:25-cv-25638 (S.D. Fla., December 2, 2025) is a class action against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard the protected health information and other personally identifiable information of the adversely impacted employees and patients of the Defendant, including Plaintiff. As a condition precedent for employment, the Defendant collects, creates and shares information about an applicant's personal information including name, date of birth, driver's license number and social security number. On October 24, 2025, Vitas discovered that an unauthorized party compromised the account of one of its vendors and used that account to gain access to other network systems. An internal investigation determined that the unauthorized access occurred between September 21, 2025, and October 22, 2025. The data breach was a direct result of Defendant's failure to implement reasonable safeguards to protect PHI from a foreseeable and preventable risk of unauthorized disclosure. Had Defendant implemented administrative, technical, and physical controls consistent with industry standards and best practices, it could have prevented the data breach, says the suit. Vitas Healthcare Corporation is an independent provider of end-of-life care in the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Bryan F. Aylstock, Esq.

VITAS HEALTHCARE CORPORATION d/b/a VITAS HOSPICE SERVICES, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-25627 (S.D. Fla., December 2, 2025) is a class action arising from Defendant's failure to protect highly sensitive data of Plaintiff and other current and former employees and patients. According to the complaint, VITAS stores a litany of highly sensitive personal identifiable information and protected health information about its current and former employees and patients. But VITAS lost control over that data when cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently protected computer systems in a data breach on or about October 24, 2025. The Plaintiff asserts that cybercriminals were able to breach Defendant's systems because it failed to adequately train its employees on cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards or protocols to protect the Class' private information.

VOLCANO JAPANESE RESTAURANT LLC, Case No. 3:25-cv-01482 (M.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://volcanojapanesecuisine.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 2 U.S.-based restaurants specializing in authentic Japanese cuisine, featuring fresh sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, hibachi, and other traditional Japanese dishes prepared with premium ingredients, including the restaurant.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Aleksandra Kravets, Esq.

WAIRUA, LLC., Case No. 1:25-cv-25687-XXXX (S.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 is unable to effectively access, navigate, and communicate with Defendant through the website, https://wairuabeauty.com/, due to his blindness and the Website's access barriers. Thus, Plaintiff as well as others who are blind and with visual disabilities will suffer continuous and ongoing harm from Defendant's intentional acts, omissions, policies, and practices as set forth herein unless properly enjoined by this Court. As the result of the barriers to communication which are present within the website and by continuing to operate and/or benefit from the mobile website with such barriers, Defendant has contributed to Plaintiff's frustration, humiliation, sense of isolation and segregation and has deprived Plaintiff the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges and/or accommodations available to the public. The Plaintiff has suffered (and will continue to suffer) direct and indirect injury as a result of Defendant's violations until Defendant is compelled to comply with the ADA and conform the website to WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA Guidelines, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is legally blind, and substantially limited in performing one or more major life activities.

WALTER KIDDE PORTABLE EQUIPMENT, LLC d/b/a Kidde Safety Equipment, and BRK BRANDS, INC. d/b/a First Alert, Defendants, Case No. 2:25-cv-02413 (W.D. Wash., December 1, 2025) arises from the Defendants' false and misleading advertising, labeling, and packaging of their home smoke detector products in violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act. According to the complaint, each Defendant became aware of the all-too-frequent deaths and serious injuries caused by ionization-only devices failing to timely alert home occupants of a smoldering fire. Despite being advertised, labeled, and sold as "smoke alarms," ionization-only devices sound too late (or do not sound at all) in response to smoldering fires inside a home. Yet, despite credible scientific evidence -- including from peer-reviewed scientific journals as well as testing by the U.S. government and prominent experts -- demonstrating that ionization-only devices fail to protect residents against grave harm and death from smoldering fires in real-world settings, each Defendant continued to manufacture and sell ionization-only devices labeled "smoke alarms" to an unsuspecting public, says the suit. Plaintiffs Stapelman and Hays are typical purchasers of ionization-only "smoke alarms." They bought these products to protect themselves, their families, and their homes against fires but the technology inside of their ionization-only devices does not protect them from smoldering fires -- a particularly common and dangerous type of home fire -- as Defendants Kidde and First Alert have known for decades, the suit contends. The Plaintiffs seek damages for their purchases of ionization-only devices that, based on the Defendants' misrepresentations, they reasonably believed were suitable for notifying them of all common home fires in time to safely escape, and they want the industry to stop misleadingly and deceptively selling ionization-only devices as "smoke alarms." Walter Kidde Portable Equipment manufactures and distributes fire detection and suppression equipment, as well as smoke and carbon monoxide alarm units.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Michael K.

WATERWIPES (USA) INC., Case No. 3:25-cv-07330-VC (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Vince Chhabria entered an order denying motion to dismiss: This ruling assumes that the reader is familiar with the facts, the applicable legal standards, and the arguments made by the parties. The parties' briefs focus primarily on whether or not Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) is an "ingredient" that must be disclosed under the relevant federal regulations. But it is not clear whether that matters at this stage. To the extent that the plaintiffs' theory is premised on nondisclosure under the federal regulations, that would raise a potential preemption issue.

WEL COMPANIES, INC.; and ABC INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-01911 (E.D. Wis., Dec. 4, 2025) seeks to hold the Defendant responsible for the injuries the Defendant inflicted on the Plaintiffs and the Class due to the Defendant's egregiously inadequate data security, which resulted in the private information of the Plaintiffs and those similarly situated to be exposed to unauthorized third parties (the "Data Breach"). According to the Plaintiffs in the complaint, the Defendants disregarded the rights of the Plaintiffs and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and/or negligently failing to implement reasonable measures to safeguard Private Information and by failing to take necessary steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of that information. The Defendants' woefully inadequate data security measures made the Data Breach a foreseeable, and even likely, consequence of its negligence. The PII exposed in the Data Breach can enable criminals to commit a litany of crimes. Criminals can open new financial accounts in Class Members' names, take out loans using Class Members' identities, use Class Members' names to obtain medical services. As a direct and proximate result of the Data Breach, the Plaintiffs and Class Members have suffered actual and present injuries, says the suit.

WEL COMPANIES, INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-01889-BBC (E.D. Wis., December 1, 2025) arises from the Defendant's failure to secure the personally identifiable information of Plaintiff and the members of the proposed Class. On January 31, 2025, the Defendant detected that an unauthorized third party gained access to its network. Through an investigation, on November 12, 2025, nearly 9 months after initially detecting the unauthorized activity in its network, the Defendant confirmed that personal information belonging to current and former contractors and employees was accessed. According to the complaint, the Defendant's failure to timely detect and report the data breach made the impacted individuals vulnerable to identity theft without any warnings to monitor their financial accounts or credit reports to prevent unauthorized use of their private information. In failing to adequately protect Plaintiff's and the Class' private information, failing to adequately notify them about the breach, and by obfuscating the nature of the breach, the Defendant violated state and federal law and harmed an unknown number of its current and former contractors and employees, says the suit.
