ARIZONA: Ruling Reshapes Arizona's English Learning Case
--------------------------------------------------------
The Mohave Daily News reports that the 17-year-old legal and
political dispute over Arizona's school programs for students
learning English will start anew after a U.S. Supreme Court
decision that threw out years of previous rulings.  The high
court ordered U.S. District Judge Raner C. Collins in Tucson to
consider just how much the state's efforts to improve its
teaching methods have come toward meeting federal laws that
require equal education for all students.

Before the June 25 Supreme Court ruling, Collins had ordered
increased spending for the more than 100,000 students learning
English in K-12 public schools.  But state officials argued that
new daily four-hour instruction periods and other changes could
meet the requirements of the Educational Opportunities Act.

The Supreme Court ruled that the state was entitled to a fresh
legal review of the case, which was originally filed in 1992 on
behalf of parents and students in a southern Arizona school
district, Nogales Unified.

The justices' 5-4 decision said the educational landscape has
changed significantly since a now-retired judge ruled in 2000
that Arizona wasn't providing the money for English language
learners to get an appropriate education.

A copy of the High Court's decision in Horne, Superintendent,
Arizona Public Instruction v. Flores, et al, No. 08-289, is
available at:

     http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/08pdf/08-289.pdf

The proceeding before the trial court is Flores, et al. v.
Arizona, et al., Case No. 92-cv-00596 (D. Airz.).

                        Case Background

The state was ordered to improve its offering to students
learning English after Judge Collin's predecessor ruled in 2000
that the state's programs for approximately 150,000 students
were inadequately funded.  The order was part of a ruling in a
class action, which was originally filed in 1992 and led by
Mr. Hogan on behalf of Nogales Unified students and parents.

The deficiency was declared a violation of a federal law that
guarantees equal opportunities in education.  The state was
fined $500,000 in January 2006 for missing a deadline to draft
ways to improve the program.  The fine was increased to
$1 million, resulting to a $21 million in total fines.  The
fines were stopped when the latest version of a Republican bill
seeking to revamp the English learning programs was passed into
law in March 2006.

In April 2006, Judge Collins ruled that the law still does not
adequately fund English-learning programs, fails to spell out
the costs of providing those programs, and does not explain the
basis for funding that it does provide.

The 9th Circuit panel heard arguments in the case in San
Francisco on July 25, 2006.  In August 2006, it vacated orders
by Judge Collins, blocked the distribution of the fines to
public schools, and allowed the state to return the money to the
general fund.

The circuit court ordered Judge Collins to review whether the
state has made improvements to its programs in light of changes
in education funding and related circumstances since the
original 2000 ruling.

The August 2006 ruling of the appellate court did not rule
directly on the latest law regarding the program.  

Judge Collins finished on Jan. 25, 2007, a hearing to determine
whether the state has already improved the program.  In March
2007, he issued a ruling stating that the system is still
deficient.  He ordered lawmakers to resolve the issue by the end
of their current session.  

Meanwhile, the Legislature adjourned in 2007 without any
discussion of revamping English language learning to comply with
Judge Collins' judgment.  Instead, Republican lawmakers and the
state schools chief asked the 9th Circuit to put Judge Collins'
ruling on hold.

The appeals court rejected that request on June 25, 2007, saying
Judge Collins has not yet found the Legislature in contempt for
ignoring his earlier ruling to boost the programs.

CANADIAN IMPERIAL: Overtime Class Action Suit Dismissed
-------------------------------------------------------
Luis Millan at The Lawyers Weekly reports that a much-anticipated
ruling keenly followed by federally regulated employers and
employees could sound the death knell for class action suits
seeking compensation for unpaid overtime after an Ontario judge
in Fresco v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, [2009] O.J. No.
2531, held that overtime claims are individual in nature and lack
the essential element of commonality necessary to justify a class
action proceeding.

In a ruling that draws distinctions between overtime claims,
clarifying the Canada Labour Code and providing guidance on
evidentiary considerations in certification motions, Justice Joan
Lax of the Ontario Superior Court refused to certify a class
action that claimed $600 million in compensatory and punitive
damages against the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.  

Mr. Millan's complete report is available at http://is.gd/2ZVkK


FIRST MARBLEHEAD: Mass. Consolidated Suit Dismissed in Aug. 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------
A consolidated class action against The First Marblehead Corp. in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts was
dismissed in August 2009.

In April and May 2008, seven purported class action lawsuits were
filed against the company and certain of its current and former
officers and certain of its directors in Massachusetts.

The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the defendants
made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose
material information in various Securities and Exchange
Commission filings, press releases and other public statements.

The complaints alleged various claims under the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

The complaints sought, among other relief, class certification,
unspecified damages, fees and such other relief as the court
deemed just and proper.

In August 2008, the court consolidated these cases and appointed
lead plaintiffs and a lead counsel.

In November 2008, a consolidated amended complaint was filed by
the lead plaintiffs that contained allegations similar to the
earlier complaints.

On Aug. 5, 2009, the court issued an order granting the company's
motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' consolidated amended complaint.  
The court did not grant plaintiffs leave to re-plead; however,
the plaintiffs have a right to appeal the dismissal, according to
the company's Sept. 3, 2009, Form 10-K filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2009.

PARKER-HANNIFIN: Settlement of Merged Price-Fixing Suit Pending
---------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed settlement of an amended consolidated class-action
suit accusing Parker-Hannifin Corp. and Parker ITR SLR of
"conspiring to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize prices of
Marine Hose," is pending.

Marine Hose is a flexible rubber hose used to transport oil
between ships, terminals, buoys and tanks (Class Action
Reporter, May 14, 2008).

Four purported class-action lawsuits were filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Florida:

       -- Shipyard Supply LLC v. Bridgestone Corporation, et
          al., filed May 17, 2007;

       -- Expro Gulf Limited v. Bridgestone Corporation, et
          al., filed June 6, 2007;

       -- Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Trelleborg
          Industrie S.A., et al., filed June 25, 2007;

       -- Bayside Rubber & Products, Inc. v. Caleca, et al.,
          filed July 12, 2007; and

One suit -- Weeks Marine, Inc. v. Bridgestone Corporation,
et al. -- was filed in the Southern District of New York on
July 27, 2007.

The company is named as a defendant in one case and it filed an
answer in that matter.  Parker ITR filed a motion to dismiss
each of the four cases in which it is a defendant.  However,
these dismissal motions were denied as moot after all five cases
were consolidated in the Southern District of Florida as 08-MDL-
1888.

On March 24, 2008, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated class-
action complaint that alleges that the defendants, for a period
of approximately 21 years, conspired with competitors in
unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix,
maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and
customers for marine oil and gas hose in the U.S.

On Sept. 12, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated
class action complaint that alleges that the defendants, for a
period of approximately 21 years, conspired with competitors in
unreasonable restraint of trade to artificially raise, fix,
maintain or stabilize prices, rig bids and allocate markets and
customers for marine oil and gas hose in the United States.

The plaintiffs generally seek treble damages, a permanent
injunction, attorneys' fees, and pre-judgment and post-judgment
interest.

Currently pending before the court are motions to approve the
settlement agreement between the Company, Parker ITR and the
plaintiffs and to grant plaintiffs motion for class
certification.

As of Dec. 31, 2008, the company has a reserve of $16.1 million
for known and potential civil damages.

The company and Parker ITR have reached a settlement of the class
action litigation in the United States, which is subject to court
approval, according to its Aug. 27, 2009, Form 10-K filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2009.

T-MOBILE USA: Proposed Settlement of Handset Locking Lawsuits
-------------------------------------------------------------
IF YOU PURCHASED A CELLPHONE FROM T-MOBILE, A CLASS ACTION
SETTLEMENT MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS.

A proposed settlement is pending in two lawsuits relating to
software "locks" that prevent T-Mobile cellphone handsets from
operating with other compatible wireless telephone carriers'
services. The lawsuits are Nguyen v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., No.
JCCP 4332, pending in Alameda County Superior Court, and
Hellman v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., No. 04-CA-005061 AN, pending in
Palm Beach County Circuit Court.

ARE YOU AFFECTED?

You are a class member if you purchased a cellphone handset from
T-Mobile from January 1, 2000 to August 1, 2009.

WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT?

The lawsuits claim that T-Mobile's sale of handsets that have
been programmed not to operate with other compatible wireless
telephone carriers' services is improper and that this
restriction has not been properly disclosed to customers. T-
Mobile denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to settle to avoid
the cost and expense of further litigation. The Courts have not
made a decision in these cases.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

T-Mobile agrees to give to eligible current and former customers,
upon request and where available, codes that unlock T-Mobile
handsets. Unlock codes will be provided to eligible postpaid
customers who are in good standing and have a minimum of 40 days
of active service with T-Mobile, and to eligible prepaid
customers who are in good standing and who have a minimum of 60
days of active service with T-Mobile and either have a prepaid
account balance of at least $10, or have refilled their prepaid
account in the last 30 days. Customers may request one unlock
code per line of service every 90 days. The settlement also
provides attorneys' fees of up to $1.85 million.

WHAT ARE MY LEGAL RIGHTS?

You have three options:

Remain in the settlement class. If you are a class member and you
do not exclude yourself from the settlement class, you will be
bound by the terms of the settlement and give up your right to
sue regarding issues in this case.

Request to be excluded. The Court will exclude you from the
settlement class if you mail a request for exclusion to Defense
Counsel and Class Counsel at the addresses below. Requests must
be postmarked by October 25, 2009.

Object to the settlement. If you do not exclude yourself from the
settlement class, you may object to it by yourself or through an
attorney that you hire at your own expense. Objections must be
written and mailed to the Court at Clerk of the Court, Alameda
County Superior Court, 1225 Fallon Street, Oakland, CA 95612, and
Class Counsel and Defense Counsel at the addresses below.
Objections received by October 25, 2009 will be considered at the
fairness hearing. You will be bound by the terms of the
settlement even if your objection is rejected.

The Court will determine whether to approve the settlement at a
fairness hearing held on November 24, 2009. If you filed an
objection through an attorney, your attorney may appear at the
hearing to explain your objection.

VANGUARD HEALTH: Certification Motion in Antitrust Suit Pending
---------------------------------------------------------------
A motion for class certification in Maderazo, et al. v. VHS San
Antonio Partners, L.P. d/b/a Baptist Health Systems, et al., Case
No. 06-cv-00535 (W.D. Tex.), remains pending, according to
Vanguard Health Systems, Inc.'s Sept. 3, 2009, Form 10-K filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2009.

On June 20, 2006, a federal antitrust class action suit was filed
in San Antonio, Texas against the company's Baptist Health System
subsidiary in San Antonio, Texas and two other large hospital
systems in San Antonio.

system defendants conspired with each other and with other
unidentified San Antonio area hospitals to depress the
compensation levels of registered nurses employed at the
conspiring hospitals within the San Antonio area by engaging in
certain activities that violated the federal antitrust laws.

The complaint alleges two separate claims.  The first count
asserts that the defendant hospitals violated Section 1 of the
federal Sherman Act, which prohibits agreements that unreasonably
restrain competition, by conspiring to depress nurses'
compensation.  The second count alleges that the defendant
hospital systems also violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act by
participating in wage, salary and benefits surveys for the
purpose, and having the effect, of depressing registered nurses'
compensation or limiting competition for nurses based on their
compensation.

The class on whose behalf the plaintiffs filed the complaint is
alleged to comprise all registered nurses employed by the
defendant hospitals since June 20, 2002.

The suit seeks unspecified damages, trebling of this damage
amount pursuant to federal law, interest, costs and attorneys
fees.

From 2006 through April 2008, the company and the plaintiffs
worked on producing documents to each other relating to, and
supplying legal briefs to the court in respect of, the issue of
whether the court will certify a class in this suit.

In April 2008, the case was stayed by the judge pending his
ruling on plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
