ACADIAN AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC., Case No. 6:25-cv-01925-DCJ-CBW (W.D. La., December 3, 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. Plaintiff Webb and the other hourly employees regularly work more than 40 hours in a workweek. But Acadian does not pay Webb 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, says the suit. Plaintiff Webb was employed by the Defendant as a paramedic from August 2023 to March 2024. Acadian Ambulance Service is an employee-owned private ambulance service that covers most of the state of Louisiana, a large portion of Texas, two counties in Tennessee, and one county in Mississippi.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Philip Bohrer, Esq.

AMERICAN BOARD OF INTERNAL MEDICINE and DOES 1–20, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-14691 (N.D. Ill., December 3, 2025) is an antitrust suit to stop the American Board of Internal Medicine from continuing to enforce a harmful and anticompetitive policy that serves no legitimate, competitive, or redeeming purpose. According to the complaint, such policy is designed to unlawfully maintain ABIM's monopoly power over board certification of internal medicine physicians by effectively excluding osteopathic board-certified internal medicine physicians from serving as program directors of medical residency and fellowship programs. In an effort to unlawfully maintain its monopoly, ABIM implemented a policy that stifled the increased opportunities for physicians that the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's single accreditation system was designed to achieve. ABIM overrode ACGME's program director requirements by implementing a policy requiring an attestation of residency or fellowship program completion from an ABIM-certified program director before a resident or fellow may sit for the ABIM board certification examination, says the suit. The Plaintiffs request that this Court use its equitable powers to stop ABIM's anticompetitive attestation policy, so that unencumbered competition may play out on the merits. Freed from ABIM's unabashed unlawful restraint, American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine-certified physicians can compete on equal footing for program director positions to train the next generation of medical talent without fear that their residents or fellows will squander their years of training, unable to sit for a crucial board examination, the Plaintiffs assert. The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) is an Illinois non-profit corporation with its principal place of business in Chicago, Illinois. The American Board of Internal Medicine, an Iowa non-profit corporation, is a certifying body for internal medicine practitioners in the allopathic tradition. It maintains its principal place of business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Nathan P. Eimer, Esq. Vanessa G. Jacobsen, Esq. Benjamin E. Waldin, Esq. Mila B.

BAXTER INTERNATIONAL, INC., JOSE E. ALMEIDA, BRENT SHAFER, JOEL T. GRADE, JAMES K. SACCARO, BRIAN STEVENS, HEATHER KNIGHT, and CLARE TRACHTMAN, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-14712 (N.D. Ill., December 3, 2025) is a securities class action brought on behalf of the Plaintiff and all persons or entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Baxter common stock between February 23, 2022, through October 29, 2025, inclusive, against Baxter and certain of the Company's current and former senior executives, asserting claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder. According to the complaint, one of the Company's flagship products is the Novum IQ Large Volume Pump, a device used for controlled delivery of intravenous fluids. Throughout the Class Period, the Company repeatedly touted the Novum LVP's advanced technology and precision. Baxter executives also repeatedly boasted about the positive customer feedback that the Company received on the Novum LVP. In reality, and unknown to investors, the Novum LVP was, and always had been, plagued with technological issues that were causing serious harm to patients receiving IV fluids from the device, making Defendants' statements false and misleading, says the suit. The Defendants engaged in this scheme to deceive the market. This artificially inflated the price of Baxter common stock and operated a fraud or deceit on the Class. Later, when Defendants' prior misrepresentations and fraudulent conduct were disclosed to the market, the price of Baxter common stock fell precipitously as the prior artificial inflation came out of the price. As a result of their acquisition of Baxter common stock during the Class Period, Plaintiff and other members of the Class suffered economic loss, i.e., damages, under the federal securities laws, the suit alleges. Based in Deerfield, Illinois, Baxter International, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets medical products and devices.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Avi Josefson, Esq.

BLUE OWL CAPITAL INC., DOUGLAS I. OSTROVER, MARC S. LIPSCHULTZ, and ALAN KIRSHENBAUM, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-10047 (S.D.N.Y., December 3, 2025) is a class action on behalf of the Plaintiff and all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Blue Owl securities between February 6, 2025 and November 16, 2025, inclusive, pursuing claims against the Defendants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Defendants allegedly failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Blue Owl was experiencing a meaningful pressure on its asset base from business development company redemptions; (2) that, as a result, the Company was facing undisclosed liquidity issues; (3) that, as a result, the Company would be likely to limit or halt redemptions of certain BDCs; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. As a result of 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, says the suit. Blue Owl is an asset management firm which provides alternative investment solutions, primarily private credit.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Rebecca Dawson, Esq.

BMO HARRIS BANK N.A., doing business as BMO Bank N.A. and DOES 1 50, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 5:25-cv-10368 (N.D. Cal., December 3, 2025) arises from BMO's systematic practice of charging unauthorized fees for business banking services that customers never requested, never used, never consented to, and often expressly declined. Plaintiff BHS LAW LLP was organized as a qualified LLP in or about August 2014. After its partners departed in September 2025, the Plaintiff surrendered the license to practice law. It is now in dissolution stage, maintaining its existence for the purpose of orderly dissolution process, and also to defend actions and prosecute claims. It is now represented by BHS Law Corporation, a qualified law corporation, organized by the former managing partner (Brian H. Song) of Plaintiff. No other partners of Plaintiff have joined BHS Law Corporation. The Plaintiff opened a small business deposit account with BMO. At account opening, the Plaintiff elected basic business banking services only, declined optional add-on services, and never signed any agreement authorizing enrollment in: a. Account Analysis services; b. Merchant Services; c. Additional Cash Management tiers; and d. Any variable-fee or usage-based billing plan. Beginning no later than July 2019 and continuing through September 2025, BMO repeatedly and arbitrarily deducted unauthorized fees from Plaintiff's business account in amounts that: a. fluctuated wildly from month to month; b. lacked any logical or contractual basis; c. were never disclosed in advance; d. were not tied to any actual service rendered; and e. were inconsistent with BMO's own published schedules. At no time did Plaintiff sign, authorize, or agree to any contract, application, service enrollment, or pricing schedule that permitted BMO to impose these fees. Through this scheme, BMO has collected millions of dollars in unlawful fees from small business customers, violating California Unfair Competition Law, breaching contract obligations, and engaging in unfair and fraudulent business practices, says the suit. The Plaintiff seeks certification of a Small Business Fee Abuse Class, restitution, compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees. BMO Harris Bank N.A., doing business as BMO Bank N.A., is a national banking association headquartered in Illinois.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Brian H. Song, Esq.

CEPTON, INC., JUN PEI, DONG CHANG, MITCHELL HOURTIENNE, JUN YE, GEORGE SYLLANTAVOS, MEI WANG, XIAOGANG ZHANG, TAKAHITO OTAKE, HIDEHARU KONAGAYA, TAKAYUKI KATSUDA, and CRAIG-HALLUM CAPITAL GROUP LLC, Defendants, Case No. 5:25-cv-10386 (N.D. Cal., December 3, 2025) is a class action brought by the Plaintiffs for Defendants' alleged violations of: (i) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on behalf of public holders of Cepton common stock as of November 15, 2024 who were entitled to vote on the "take-private" acquisition of the Company by Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; and (ii) the Exchange Act, on behalf of all persons and entities who sold Cepton common stock between July 29, 2024 and January 7, 2025, inclusive, including those who sold into the acquisition and were damaged thereby. This class action concerns Defendants' failure to provide Cepton shareholders with adequate disclosure of all material information related to the Merger and making false assurances about the fair value of the Company's common stock. As a result, unaffiliated shareholders were unable to properly evaluate the Merger, which caused them to accept Merger consideration that failed to adequately value Cepton common stock. Additionally, Cepton shareholders were misled into selling Cepton common stock at a price that was materially below the fair value for their shares. During the Class Period, the Defendants authorized the filing of materially false and misleading proxy statements, in addition to other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, that failed to provide all material information related the Merger, in violation of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Cepton had received a credible third-party proposal valuing Cepton at more than double the Merger price; (2) the Board failed to explore the third-party proposal and concealed its terms when recommending that Unaffiliated Shareholders approve the Merger; (3) Defendant Pei had concealed the fact that Cepton received a new production award days before the Special Committee approved the Merger, resulting in the failure of Craig-Hallum’s fairness opinion to account for the award in its valuation of Cepton; (4) due to the foregoing, the offer of $3.17 per share as consideration for the Merger substantially shortchanged the true value of Cepton common stock; and (5) in turn, Unaffiliated Shareholders were deprived of crucial information when considering whether to vote in favor of the Merger, and Cepton shareholders sold their shares at a price materially below the true value of Cepton common stock, says the suit. Based in San Jose, California, Cepton provides mass-market lidar technologies to offer safety and enable autonomy across the automotive and smart infrastructure markets.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: David R.

COMERICA BANK, Defendant, Case No. 5:25-cv-03318 (C.D. Cal., December 9, 2025) is a class action seeking injunctive relief correcting the bank's practices and seeking to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred in bringing the action under California Code of Civil Procedure. The complaint relates that since 2008, Defendant Comerica Bank has contracted with the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service to serve as the exclusive administrator for the Direct Express program, which makes federal benefit payments available to consumers via prepaid debit card accounts. According to the complaint, Plaintiff Robert Trusty received Social Security and Supplemental Security Income on a Direct Express Debit Card in July 2025. When $681.99 was stolen from Mr. Trusty's account in a fraudulent transfer, Defendant refused to help. Comerica Bank is required by federal law to return funds taken from a consumer in unauthorized transactions. The Defendant suspended Mr. Trusty's account for "suspicious activity" after the fraudulent transfer. Mr. Trusty tried to contact Defendant's customer service regarding the suspended account over the next several days -- multiple times per day. Each time, he was directed to an automated answering service and put on hold. But no one picked up his calls, sometimes after Mr. Trusty had waited 20 minutes trying to reach someone. When Mr. Trusty finally got through to a customer service representative and discovered the fraudulent transaction, he promptly reported it and disputed the charge. However, Defendant denied his claim using a form letter for "conflicting info." Defendant still has not credited any of the stolen funds back to Mr. Trusty's account. The Plaintiff brings the action on behalf of himself and other Direct Express cardholders who reported unauthorized transactions but did not receive those funds back because Defendant determined that no fraud occurred based on Defendant's shoddy investigation practices and its failure to communicate effectively with account holders who disputed unauthorized charges. Plaintiff Robert Trusty is a Direct Express cardholder domiciled in Riverside County, California. Defendant Comerica Bank is a Texas state-chartered commercial bank with its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. It is a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated, one of the largest banking associations in the country.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Sophia M. Rios, Esq.

COMFRT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Case No. 5:25-cv-03304 (C.D. Cal., Dec. 8, 2025), is brought to address Defendant's misleading and unlawful pricing, sales, and discounting practices on its e-commerce storefronts, namely, www.Comfrt.com, TikTok Shop, Facebook Shop, and Instagram Shop (each a "website" and collectively the "websites"). The products at issue are all goods that have at any time been offered on the websites at a sale or discounted price from a higher advertised "reference price." The products are Comfrt's in-house brand clothing and accessories. Defendant advertises its products with false, misleading, and inflated comparison reference prices to deceive customers into believing the sale price is a genuine, discounted, bargain price. Anyone visiting the websites who buys an item at an advertised discount from a higher comparison reference price is misled. This is because that item has not been listed for sale or sold by Defendant on the websites, in the recent past and for a substantial time, at the former and regular price. Yet Defendant's use of inflated reference prices, strikethrough pricing and discounting, and purported limited time sales all lead reasonable consumers to believe that the products in fact had been listed for sale and sold on the website, at the former and regular price, in the recent past, for a substantial time. As a result, consumers are deceived into spending money they otherwise would not have spent, purchasing items they would not have purchased, and/or spending more money for an item than they otherwise would have absent deceptive marketing, says the complaint. The Plaintiff purchases from the websites. Comfrt, LLC is the corporate owner and operator of Comfrt, a clothing brand and e-commerce retailer.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Alexander E.

CONSTELLATION CULINARY GROUP; GALAXY RESTAURANTS CATERNG GROUP, LP; STARR EVENTS; ELIOR NORTH AMERICA; and any other related entities and individuals, Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-10032 (S.D.N.Y., December 3, 2025) is a class action brought by Plaintiff and similarly situated catering service professionals who performed work for the Defendants alleging violations of the New York State Labor Law, New York State Human Rights Law, New York City Human Rights Law, and the Equal Pay Act. According to the complaint, to the detriment of Plaintiffs and similarly situated workers, the Defendants promoted and discriminated against minority, female, older and other workers in protected classes, including by (1) paying them lower rates, (2) offering them fewer promotions including to captain positions, (3) offering them fewer shifts - and offering them fewer shifts in captain positions, (4) requiring them to travel greater distances to their work place including in the Bronx and other outer borough locations, (5) placing them in fewer positions to succeed and earn tips, and (6) by otherwise treating them in a discriminatory manner based on their status in a protected class including systemically ranking minority, female, and older workers lower in Defendants' system. By this, Plaintiffs and similarly situated workers were harmed, mistreated, damaged, and discriminated against in their profession and chosen occupation. Further, when Plaintiffs questioned these policies and practices, they were retaliated against by being offered less work, were gradually squeezed from the work calendar, and/or were given less desirable or profitable work opportunities, says the suit. Accordingly, in addition to bringing this action on their own behalf, the Plaintiffs also bring this action on behalf of a class of similarly situated current and former service workers and individuals employed by the Defendants to end their discriminatory policies and/or practices and to make the Class whole.

ECOCART SCIENCES, INC., Case No. 3:25-cv-03463-JES-JLB (S.D. Cal., Dec. 8, 2025), is brought seeking monetary damages, restitution, and public injunctive and declaratory relief from EcoCart, arising from its unfair and deceptive addition of junk fees to consumers' shopping carts. When consumers browse products on e-commerce websites, the e-commerce websites advertise the price of their retail items, along with an advertisement for either free or flat-rate shipping. Those pricing representations are false, however, because EcoCart encourages e-commerce retailers to surreptitiously add junk fees to consumer purchases, including EcoCart's so-called "Green Shipping Protection" and "Carbon Neutral Order" fees. The assessment of these fees is deceptive and unfair, since: EcoCart sneaks these fees into consumers' shopping carts; the fees are nothing more than an additional cost for shipping, rendering retailer promises for "free" or flat-rate shipping false; the fees themselves are deceptively named and described; and the fees provide no added value to consumers and reasonable consumers, like Plaintiff, who would not knowingly choose to pay them absent EcoCart's deception. Thousands of e-commerce customers like Plaintiff have been assessed hidden charges for which they did not bargain due to EcoCart's deceptive and unfair tactics. By unfairly obscuring consumers' true shipping costs, EcoCart deceives consumers and gains an unfair upper hand on competitors that fairly disclose their true shipping charges. To wit, most major e-commerce sites do not assess such a fee. Plaintiff seeks damages and, among other remedies, public injunctive relief that will fairly allow consumers to decide for themselves whether they will pay EcoCart's fees, says the complaint. The Plaintiff's purchase included a $1.76 "Carbon Neutral Order" fee from EcoCart that was automatically and surreptitiously added to his cart, that in fact represented an additional shipping charge. EcoCart is an American software company incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in San Diego, California, that provides services to e commerce retailers.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Sophia Goren Gold, Esq.

GLASSFRONTS SYSTEMS, LLC, a Florida For-Profit Corporation, JASON WILLIAMS, individually, and RICHARD WILLIAMS, individually, Case No. 9:25-cv-81205-WM (S.D.

Notably, while the Defendants maintain that no liability exists in this case as set forth in more detail in defenses pled in, inter alia, the Defendants' Answer and more recently Defendants' Response to Plaintiffs' Statement of Claim, Defendants are continuing to engage in dialogue with Plaintiffs about the issues set forth in Plaintiffs' Motion and the parties are working to exhaust whether an agreement can be reached by and between the parties, including the scheduling a Mediation to potentially be held within approximately the next two (2) to four (4) weeks.

INTERDENT SERVICES CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No. 1:25-at-01213 (E.D. Cal., December 3, 2025) is a class action lawsuit brought by the Plaintiff, on behalf of all patients, who scheduled an appointment for dental services on the website www.gentledental.interdent.com, whose web communications are allegedly intercepted by third parties. According to the complaint, the Defendant aids, employs, agrees, and conspires with third parties, including Google, LLC and NextRoll, Inc. 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, the 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 the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act, says the suit.

Kenvue Brands LLC. d/b/a Johnson & Johnson, Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-18129 (D.N.J., December 3, 2025) is a class action against the Defendant for fraudulent concealment, unjust enrichment, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and violation of the Maryland Consumer Protection Act. Kenvue Brands d/b/a Johnson & Johnson formulates, manufactures, advertises and sells a product called "shea & cocoa butter oil" throughout the United States. The front label and the name Defendant chose for the product represent that the product is an oil comprised of and extracted from shea butter and cocoa butter. However, in reality the product contains trace amounts -- less than one percent -- of shea butter and cocoa butter. Instead, the vast majority of the product is made of mineral oil, a petroleum byproduct. Accordingly, the product is not what is claimed and displayed on the product's labeling, says the suit. The Plaintiff brings this action as a putative class action on behalf of himself and other consumers of the oil product who have been harmed and injured by purchasing the mislabeled product. Kenvue Brands LLC. d/b/a Johnson & Johnson is an American consumer health company.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Sergei Lemberg, Esq.

Nuvision Credit Union, Case No. 8:24-cv-02422-AH-JDE (C.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Hwang entered an order as follows: 1. The Plaintiff's motion for final approval of the class action settlement is granted. The Defendant shall pay a gross settlement amount of $160,300 to be distributed under the terms of the Settlement Agreement and consistent with this Order. 2. The Plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees and costs is granted. The Court awards Class Counsel $40,000 in attorney's fees and litigation expenses. The Court also approves $3,300 in administrative costs to be paid to the Administrator. 3. The Plaintiff's motion for a service award is granted. The Court awards $5,000 to the Plaintiff. In sum, the four Rule 23(e) factors weigh in favor of approval; the eight Churchill factors weigh in favor of approval or are neutral; and only one of the three collusion factors possibly suggests collusion, which does not overall support a finding of collusion under the facts presented here. Balancing these factors, the Court grants the Plaintiff's motion for final approval of the Settlement Agreement, as amended by the Addendum. Class Members are defined as: "the 35 individuals who, according to Defendant's records, applied for a Consumer Credit Product with the Defendant from Nov. 6, 2022, through May 2025; were legally residing in the State of California at the time they applied; and were denied such credit products because of their immigration or citizenship status at the time that they applied."

Online Guru, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-14922 (N.D. Ill., December 9, 2025) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate their website, https://vaporpuffs.com, to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired persons in violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The complaint relates that Plaintiff LEAH WALKER has made an attempt to complete a purchase on Vaporpuffs.com. On March 18, 2025, Plaintiff was looking for vaping products that combined convenience and variety, specifically searching for disposable vapes by looking up "puff shops," and among the top results she found Vaporpuffs.com, a store specializing in vapes, e-liquids, and hookahs. She also came across posts on Reddit praising the store for its wide selection, competitive pricing, and reliable shipping, which prompted her to explore its offerings. While browsing the website, a pop-up appeared without prior warning and presented unclear options for continuing, disrupting her experience, and when she added a product to the cart, the focus shifted away from the cart dialog, preventing her from reviewing the cart or proceeding to checkout. The Plaintiff visited the website again on December 4, 2025, but the accessibility issues persisted. These access barriers have caused Vaporpuffs.com to be inaccessible to, and not independently usable by, blind and visually-impaired persons. These barriers to access have denied Plaintiff full and equal access to, and enjoyment of, the goods, benefits and services of Vaporpuffs.com, adds the complaint. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Online Guru's policies, practices, and procedures so that Defendant's website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers. This complaint also seeks compensatory damages to compensate Class members for having been subjected to unlawful discrimination.

U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-00508-RC (D.D.C.), the Hon. Judge Contreras entered a memorandum: -- granting the Plaintiffs' motion to enforce the final judgment and permanent injunction; -- granting plaintiffs’ motions for leave to file documents under seal In sum, to enforce the Permanent Injunction and ensure Defendants’ compliance with Section 1232(c)(2)(B), the Court concludes that is has the authority to enjoin Defendants from implementing the Policy and from re-arresting and detaining age-outs absent a material change in their circumstances. Because Defendants’ policy and practices have violated the Permanent Injunction, as outlined above, the Court grants Plaintiffs’ motion. V In 2018, Plaintiffs—immigrant teenagers who entered the United States as unaccompanied alien children (UACs) -- brought this class action against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Acting Director of ICE, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Secretary of Homeland Security. The Plaintiffs alleged that Defendants had violated the Administrative Procedure Act in connection with ICE's processing of eighteen-year-olds who came to the United States as UACs. In the same opinion that denied Defendants' motion to dismiss, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, allowing Plaintiffs to proceed on behalf of a class defined as: "All former unaccompanied alien children who are detained or will be detained by ICE after being transferred by ORR because they have turned 18 years of age and as to whom ICE did not consider placement in the least restrictive setting available, including alternatives to detention programs, as required by 8 U.S.C. section 1232(c)(2)(B)." The Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit on March 5, 2018. The Plaintiffs were three immigrant teenagers who had previously been held in ORR custody as UACs. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducts criminal investigations, enforces immigration laws, preserves national security, and protects public safety.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, Case No. 2:25-cv-06902 (E.D. Pa., Dec. 9, 2025), is brought against Defendant Penn for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated individuals' ("Class Members") personally identifiable information including: memos about Penn donors and their families, receipts of bank transactions, spreadsheets containing records of wire and ACH transactions of donations made by individuals, donors' addresses, phone numbers, and demographic information (collectively "PII" or "Private Information").
