AMBASSADORS GROUP: Wants Securities Suit in Washington Dismissed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ambassadors Group, Inc., has filed a motion to dismiss a
securities class action alleging violations of federal securities
laws, according to the company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010.

On July 14, 2009, a securities class action was filed against the
company and certain of its executive officers on behalf of all
persons or entities who purchased the company's Common Stock
between Feb. 8, 2007 and Oct. 23, 2007.

The class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Washington by plaintiff Plumbers Union Local
No. 12 Pension Fund.

On Oct. 22, 2009, the Court appointed International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers Local 351 as lead plaintiff.

On Nov. 23, 2009, lead plaintiff IBEW 351 filed a motion to
withdraw as lead plaintiff and sought appointment of Plumbers
Union as substitute lead plaintiff.  On Jan. 7, 2010, a hearing
was held and the Court appointed Plumbers Union as lead
plaintiff.

The Plumbers Union filed an amended complaint on Jan. 11, 2010.  
The amended complaint alleges that the defendants violated
federal securities laws by making untrue statements of material
fact and/or omitting to state material facts, thereby
artificially inflating the price of the company's Common Stock.

On March 11, 2010, the company, and certain of its executive
officers, filed a motion to dismiss the Plumbers Union's amended
complaint.  The company anticipates the Court will issue a ruling
on the motion to dismiss after May 20, 2010.

AON CORP: Plaintiffs' Appeal on RICO Claims Dismissal Pending
-------------------------------------------------------------
The appeal of the plaintiffs on the dismissal of Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act claims against Aon
Corporation remains pending.

At the time of the 2004-05 investigation of the insurance
industry by the Attorney General of New York and other
regulators, purported classes of clients filed civil litigation
against Aon and other companies under a variety of legal
theories, including state tort, contract, fiduciary duty,
antitrust and statutory theories and federal antitrust and
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act theories.

The federal actions were consolidated in the U.S. District Court
for the District of New Jersey, and a state court collective
action was filed in California.
In the New Jersey actions, the Court dismissed plaintiffs'
federal antitrust and RICO claims in separate orders in August
and October 2007, respectively.  

Plaintiffs have appealed these dismissals.

No further updates were reported in the company's May 4, 2010,
Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

securities suit against Aon Corporation, according to the
company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities

damages of $353 million to $490 million.  To protect against the
uncertain outcome of litigation and to contain exposure to the
company, Aon settled the securities suit for $30 million in 2009.

On Nov. 24, 2009, the Court entered a final order approving the
securities settlement and dismissing the securities suit.

AON CORP: Settles ERISA-Violations Related Suit for $1.8 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aon Corporation is awaiting approval from the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois of a settlement resolving a
suit alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act for $1.8 million, according to the company's May 4,

damages of $74 million to $349 million.  To protect against the
uncertain outcome of litigation and to contain exposure to the
company, Aon reached an agreement in principle to settle the
ERISA suit for $1.8 million.

The proposed ERISA settlement is subject to notice and court
approval.

AON CORP: Resource Life Continues to Defend "Buckner" Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
A putative class action captioned Buckner v. Resource Life
remains pending in state court in Columbus, Georgia, against
Resource Life Insurance Company, according to Aon Corporation's
May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Resource Life is a former subsidiary of Aon Corp.

The complaint alleges that Resource Life, which wrote policies
insuring repayment of auto loans, was obligated to identify and
return unearned premiums to policyholders whose loans terminated
before the end of their scheduled terms.  In connection with the
sale of Resource Life in 2006, Aon agreed to indemnify Resource
Life's buyer in certain respects relating to this action.  

In October 2009, the court certified a nationwide class of
policyholders whose loans terminated before the end of their
scheduled terms and who Resource Life cannot prove received a
refund of unearned premium.  Resource Life has taken an appeal
from that decision, which is set for argument on June 30, 2010.

Also in October 2009, Aon filed a lawsuit in Illinois state court
seeking a declaratory judgment with respect to the rights and
obligations of Aon and Resource Life under the indemnity
agreement.

ASSOCIATED ESTATES: Ohio Appeals Court Affirms Ruling
-----------------------------------------------------
The Ohio Court of Appeals for the 10th District has affirmed the
ruling of the Franklin County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas
granting summary judgment in favor of Associated Estates Realty
Corporation, according to the company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarter ended March 31, 2010.

On or about April 14, 2002, Melanie and Kyle Kopp commenced an
action against the company in the Franklin County, Ohio Court of
Common Pleas seeking undetermined damages, injunctive relief and
class action certification.  This case arose out of the company's
Suredeposit program.  This program allowed cash short prospective
residents to purchase a bond in lieu of paying a security
deposit.  The bond serves as a fund to pay those resident
obligations that would otherwise have been funded by the security
deposit.

Plaintiffs allege that the nonrefundable premium paid for the
bond is a disguised form of security deposit, which is otherwise
required to be refundable in accordance with Ohio's Landlord-
Tenant Act.  Plaintiffs further allege that certain pet deposits
and other nonrefundable deposits required by the company are
similarly security deposits that must be refundable in accordance
with Ohio's Landlord-Tenant Act.

On or about Jan. 15, 2004, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for
class certification.  The company subsequently filed a motion for
summary judgment.

On or about Sept. 3, 2008, the court granted the company's motion
for summary judgment thereby dismissing all Plaintiff claims
against the company.

Plaintiff subsequently appealed the court's ruling to the Ohio
Court of Appeals for the 10th District, which recently affirmed
the trial court's decision granting summary judgment in the
company's favor.

BMW OF NORTH: Sued for Concealing Defect in Design of Fuel Pumps
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tim Nguyen, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated v.
BMW of North America, LLC, et al., Case No. 10-cv-02257 (N.D.
Calif. May 25, 2010), asserts breach of express warranty,
violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, and unfair business
practices in violation of the Calif. Bus. & Professions Code.  
Mr. Nguyen accuses the BMW automobile distributor of concealing a
defect in the design of its fuel pumps installed in all its BMW
vehicles, while continuing to sell these vehicles to California
residents, despite the potential risk that these vehicles pose to
the public's safety.  Mr. Nguyen says he brought his BMW for
repair or replacement of the defective fuel pump, but the
distributor refused to make the necessary repairs or replacement
to his vehicle while still under warranty.

BP PLC: Courts Divided on Staying Gulf Oil Spill Lawsuits
---------------------------------------------------------
Tresa Baldas at The National Law Journal reports that two federal
courts came down on opposite sides of the "to stay or not to
stay" question last week in cases over the Gulf of Mexico oil
spill.

On Tuesday, a federal judge in Mobile, Ala., denied a request by
BP PLC, one of the defendants, to stay a lawsuit brought by a
seafood processor, holding that a stay would be premature and
that BP should answer the complaint now because it will have to
at some point. BP is seeking to have federal lawsuits stayed in
five of the Gulf states until a judicial panel decides whether to
combine the more than 130 federal cases into a multidistrict
proceeding.

The same day, a federal judge in New Orleans granted BP's motion
to stay a lawsuit filed by a fishing charter company, concluding
that BP and the other defendants could face undue hardships if
the scores of lawsuits filed so far are allowed to proceed prior
to a decision from the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation.

"[T]he defendants face the burden of litigation in multiple
jurisdictions. More importantly, between the various lawyers and
judges on the cases, there is a grave potential for conflicting
discovery orders. This poses not only a hardship for the
defendants, but mocks an efficient and orderly judicial system,"
wrote U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in Cajun Offshore
Charters LLC v. BP PLC, et al.

The ruling frustrated Joe Dunn of Wigington Rumley Dunn in San
Antonio, one of the lawyers representing Cajun Offshore Charters.
He learned about the ruling on Tuesday night, as he was about to
board a plane for Louisiana to attend a Wednesday hearing on the
matter. He received an e-mail from a colleague telling him the
court had already granted BP's motion.

"I'm very disappointed that we didn't get to make our argument to
the judge, and we're going to urge the court to reconsider," said
Dunn, who felt the ruling contained "very strong language against
the plaintiffs."

Dunn found the ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge William Steele
of the Southern District of Alabama much more to his liking.

In Billy's Seafood Inc. v. Transocean Holdings Inc., et al.,
Steele found no reason why the case could not move forward "with
preliminary steps."

"Entering a stay at this juncture and under these circumstances
would not rescue defendants from material hardship or the risk of
inconsistent adjudications; after all, they must answer the
complaint anyway," wrote Steele. "By all appearances, the only
tangible effect of entering a stay at this time would be to allow
defendants a three-month reprieve ... before being required to
answer the allegations brought by plaintiff in the complaint.
Such a protected delay appears both unnecessary and unwarranted."


CHARLES SCHWAB: Settlement Will Pay Hagens Berman $20 Million
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dan Levine at The Recorder reports that having forced Charles
Schwab to the settlement table in an investor fraud suit,
plaintiffs firm Hagens Berman will be compensated nicely.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup has given preliminary approval
to two deals that would furnish $235 million to class members.  
Of that, Hagens Berman will reap about $20 million: 8 percent of
the $200 million set aside for federal claims, and 11 percent of
$35 million to resolve the state law claims.

Led by partners Steven Berman and Reed Kathrein, the plaintiffs
successfully battled Schwab's outside counsel Morrison & Foerster
over the investment company's so-called YieldPlus plan.
Plaintiffs say Schwab violated securities laws by telling
investors it would only put up to 25 percent of the assets in its
YieldPlus fund in any one industry. But Schwab allegedly changed
the rules midstream and concentrated more than 45 percent in
mortgage-backed securities.

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed briefs supporting
the plaintiffs, and the company quickly agreed to settle after
Alsup recently issued a series of summary judgment rulings that
went against them.

In court Tuesday, Berman said the settlements were the product of
six sessions with various current and retired judicial officers.
For the state claims, the plaintiffs estimated damages between
$33 million to $52 million, while defendants put it between $5
million to $12 million.

Thus the $35 million figure is "at the very high end of possible
recovery," Berman said. He declined to comment after the hearing
about attorney fees.

For his part, Alsup was concerned with potential objectors, who
could try to use the opt-out process in an attempt to delay the
settlement and extract a premium. Alsup said he would be leery of
such requests.

"I don't like hold-up artists. I will be very reluctant to give
hold-up artists more money," he said.

Berman acknowledged the threat from outside objectors. Asked for
his thoughts, Morrison & Foerster partner Darryl Rains said it
was the plaintiffs' problem.

A hearing for final settlement approval is scheduled for
September.


CNX GAS: Named as Defendant in 4 Suits Over CONSOL Tender Offer
---------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010.

CNX Gas is an 83.3% owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy.

     (1) Schurr v. CNX Gas and others (No. 2010-2333), filed in

         Delaware Court of Chancery on April 13, 2010.

The suits are brought by alleged shareholders of CNX Gas
challenging the proposed tender offer by CONSOL Energy.  The
suits also name CONSOL Energy and certain officers and directors
of CONSOL Energy and CNX Gas as defendants.

All four actions generally allege that CNX Gas has breached
and/or has aided and abetted in the breach of fiduciary duties
purportedly owed to CNX Gas's public shareholders.

Among other things, the actions seek a permanent injunction
against or rescission of the proposed tender offer, damages, and
attorneys' fees and expenses.

not already own, according to the company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-

         in the Delaware Court of Chancery on April 13, 2010.

Other than the Gummel case, the suits also name CNX Gas and

DOW CHEMICAL: Court Gives Final Approval to Settlement Agreement
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana gave
its final approval to the settlement agreement resolving the
litigation with respect to the retirees of Rohm and Haas Company,
according to The Dow Chemical Company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarter ended March 31, 2010.

In December 2005, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of Indiana issued a decision granting a
class of participants in the Rohm and Haas Pension Plan who had
retired from Rohm and Haas Company, now a wholly owned subsidiary
of the company, and who elected to receive a lump sum benefit
from the Rohm and Haas Plan, the right to a cost-of-living
adjustment as part of their retirement benefit.

In August 2007, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the
District Court's decision, and in March 2008, the U.S. Supreme
Court denied the Rohm and Haas Plan's petition to review the
Seventh Circuit's decision.  The case was returned to the
District Court for further proceedings.

In October 2008 and February 2009, the District Court issued
rulings that have the effect of including in the class all Rohm
and Haas retirees who received a lump sum distribution without a
COLA from the Rohm and Haas Plan since January 1976.  These
rulings are subject to appeal, and the District Court has not yet
determined the amount of the COLA benefits that may be due to the
class participants.  The Rohm and Haas Plan and the plaintiffs
entered into a settlement agreement which was preliminarily
approved by the District Court on Nov. 24, 2009.

In addition to settling the litigation with respect to the Rohm
and Haas retirees, the settlement agreement provides for the
amendment of the complaint and amendment to the Rohm and Haas
Plan to include active employees.

Notices of the proposed settlement were provided to class
members, and a hearing was held on March 12, 2010, to determine
whether the settlement will be finally approved by the District
Court.  On April 12, 2010, the District Court issued a final
order approving the settlement.

An appeal of the final order by an objector to the settlement has
been filed and any additional appeals of the final order must be
filed within 30 days of the date of the order.

DYNAMICS RESEARCH: Continues to Defend FLSA Violations Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dynamics Research Corp. continues to defend a class action
employee suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Massachusetts.

On June 28, 2005, a class action employee suit was filed alleging
violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and certain provisions
of Massachusetts General Laws.  The plaintiff's claim was for $8
million.

On April 10, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts entered an order granting in part the company's
motion to dismiss the suit and to compel compliance with the
company's mandatory dispute resolution program, directing that
the parties arbitrate the claims, and striking the class action
waiver which was part of the dispute resolution program.

In the arbitration, the company filed a Motion to Dismiss and/or
for Summary Disposition.  The motion was denied and the parties
exchanged discovery documents.  

No further updates were reported in company's May 4, 2010, Form
10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

E*TRADE FINANCIAL: Motion to Dismiss "Freudenberg" Suit Pending
---------------------------------------------------------------
E*Trade Financial Corporation's motion to dismiss a consolidated
amended securities class action complaint captioned Freudenberg
v. E*Trade Financial Corporation et al., remains pending in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York,
according to the company's May 5, 2010, Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010.

On Oct. 2, 2007, a class action complaint alleging violations of
the federal securities laws was filed in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York against the company and its
then Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
Mitchell H. Caplan and Robert J. Simmons by Larry Freudenberg on
his own behalf and on behalf of others similarly situated
(Freudenberg Action).

On July 17, 2008, the trial court consolidated this action with
four other purported class actions, all of which were filed in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and
which were based on the same facts and circumstances.

On Jan. 16, 2009, plaintiffs served their consolidated amended
class action complaint in which they also named Dennis Webb, the
company's former Capital Markets Division President as a
defendant.  

Plaintiffs contend, among other things, that the value of the
company's stock between April 19, 2006 and Nov. 9, 2007 was
artificially inflated because defendants issued materially false
and misleading statements and failed to disclose that the company
was experiencing a rise in delinquency rates in its mortgage and
home equity portfolios; failed to timely record an impairment on
its mortgage and home equity portfolios; materially overvalued
its securities portfolio, which included assets backed by
mortgages; and based on the foregoing, lacked a reasonable basis
for the positive statements made about the Company's earnings and
prospects.  

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages in an amount to be proven at
trial, including interest and attorneys' fees and costs.

Defendants filed their motion to dismiss on April 2, 2009, and
briefing on defendants' motion to dismiss was completed on
Aug. 31, 2009.

No further updates were reported in the company's May 5, 2010,
Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

The suit is Freudenberg v. E*Trade Financial Corporation et al.,
Case No. 1:07-cv-08538-RWS, (S.D.N.Y.) (Sweet, J.).

action complaint by John W. Oughtred, according to the company's
May 5, 2010, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

On April 2, 2008, a class action complaint alleging violations of
the federal securities laws was filed by John W. Oughtred on his
own behalf and on behalf of all others similarly situated in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against
the company.

Plaintiff contends, among other things, that the company
committed various sales practice violations in the sale of
certain auction rate securities to investors between April 2,
2003, and Feb. 13, 2008 by allegedly misrepresenting that these
securities were highly liquid and safe investments for short term
investing.

On Dec. 18, 2008, plaintiffs filed their first amended class
action complaint.

Defendants filed their pending motion to dismiss plaintiffs'
amended complaint on Feb. 5, 2009, and briefing on defendants'
motion to dismiss was completed on April 15, 2009.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages in an amount to be proven at
trial, or, in the alternative, rescission of auction rate
securities purchases, plus interest and attorney's fees and
costs.

On March 18, 2010, the District Court dismissed the complaint
without prejudice.  Plaintiff has an opportunity to amend the
complaint.

On April 22, 2010, Plaintiff amended their complaint.

that was recorded during a brief period when the company's
automated notice system was out of order.

On Feb. 7, 2008, class certification was granted and the class

EMERGENCY MEDICAL: AMR Faces Four Wage & Hour Violations Suits
--------------------------------------------------------------
Four different lawsuits purporting to be class actions have been

California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws,
according to the company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010.

The four lawsuits are:

     (1) commenced by Lori Bartoni in the Superior Court for the
         State of California, County of Alameda, on April 16,
         2008;

     (2) filed by Vaughn Banta in the Superior Court of the

         2008;

     (3) filed by Laura Karapetian in the Superior Court of the

FACEBOOK INC: Accused in R.I. of Violating Computer Privacy Law
---------------------------------------------------------------
Alexandria D'Angelo at Courthouse News Service reports that
Facebook violated computer privacy law by using data mining "to
automatically and without notice capture private information of
its members" and post it on unaffiliated websites, a class action
claims in Federal Court.  The class claims Facebook's new
"Instant Personalization" program violated the Stored
Communications Act.

The class describes the Instant Personalization program as a
"social plug-in" that allows third party websites such as
Pandora, Yelp and Microsoft Docs to get Facebook users' personal
information.

"Instant Personalization," loaded onto the nation's most widely
used social networking site on April 10, broadcasts Facebook
users' personal information through the network and posts it to
third party websites when users click into the sites through
their Facebook pages.  When it was released, the tool did not
give users the choice to opt in, but automatically signed them up
for the application.

Facebook profited from it by mining its members' personal
information for advertisers, according to the complaint.

After April 23, Facebook changed its privacy settings "to require
an opt-in setting to activate Instant Personalization, however,
it Facebook discloses personal information to third party
websites through [users'] friends who have not disabled the
service," according to the complaint.

Lead plaintiff Derrick Rose claims that "Facebook knowingly,
willfully, unlawfully and intentionally without authorization
divulged confidential and private information relating to
plaintiff and the class' electronic communications," which
violated the Stored Communications Act and the User Agreement
that he signed when he created his account.

He seeks class damages and an injunction.

FARMERS MUTUAL: Ark. Sup. Ct. Allows Homeowners' Suit to Proceed
----------------------------------------------------------------
The insurance Journal reports that the Arkansas Supreme Court has
affirmed a lower court order certifying class action status in a
case involving an insurer's depreciation practices in property
claims against "actual cash value" homeowners policies.

In Farmers Union Mutual Insurance Company v. Randall and Heather
Robertson, the state high court found no merit in the insurer's
arguments for reversing the order granting class action status.

The case stems from tornado damage to the Robertsons' property in
Atkins, Ark., on Feb. 5, 2008. The Robertsons initially alleged
that Farmers Union improperly "paid their personal-property claim
and had illegally depreciated the labor portion of their real
property claim," according to court documents.

The complaint was later amended without mention of the personal
property claim "and filed a class-action complaint on behalf of
themselves and similarly situated Arkansans, alleging that
Appellant [Farmers Union] had a common practice of depreciating
the cost of labor when adjusting real-property damage."

The suit requested judgment for the insurer's "failure to timely
and properly pay an insurance claim."

Farmers Union asserted that the Robertson's claims do not meet
the requirements of class action status because they are not
"typical of the proposed class or that they are adequate class
representatives." According to the insurer, the Robertsons
"failed to satisfy the typicality requirement because they have a
claim for damage to personal property that the class members do
not."

The Court rejected that argument, explaining that while the
Robertson's initial claim included personal-property damage, the
"amended complaints did not raise a claim for personal-property
damage. This court has stated with approval the 'widely
recognized doctrine that an amended complaint, unless it adopts
and incorporates the original complaint, supersedes the original
complaint.'"

The high court ultimately agreed with the lower court's finding
that "the resolution of the common predominating issues
throughout Appellees' and the class members' claims 'in one
consolidated class action is superior to litigating hundreds or
thousands of individual lawsuits on the same common issues.'"

SKILLED HEALTHCARE: Wants Amended Complaint in Calif. Dismissed
---------------------------------------------------------------
Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc., seeks the dismissal of an amended
class action complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California, according to the company's May 4,
2010, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

On July 24, 2009, a purported class action complaint captioned
Shepardson v. Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc., et al. was filed
against the company, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
its current Chief Financial Officer, its former Chief Financial
Officer, and investment banks that underwrote the company's
initial public offering, on behalf of two classes of purchasers
of its securities.

On Nov. 10, 2009, the District Court appointed lead plaintiffs
and co-lead counsel, re-captioned the action In re Skilled
Healthcare Group, Inc. Securities Litigation, and ordered that
lead plaintiffs file an amended class action complaint.

On Jan. 12, 2010, lead plaintiffs filed an amended class action
complaint against the company, its Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, its Chief Operating Officer and President, its current
Chief Financial Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, its
largest stockholder and related entities, and a director
affiliated with that stockholder.

One purported class consists of all persons other than defendants
who purchased the company's Class A common stock pursuant or
traceable to its Initial Public Offering.  The second purported
class consists of all persons other than defendants who purchased
the company's Class A common stock from May 14, 2007, through
June 9, 2009.

The complaint, which seeks an unspecified amount of damages,
including rescissory damages, asserts claims under the federal
securities laws relating to its June 9, 2009 announcement that
the company would restate its financial statements for the period
from Jan. 1, 2006, to March 31, 2009, and that the restatement
was likely to require cumulative charges against after-tax
earnings in the aggregate amount of between $8.0 million and $9.0
million over the affected periods.

The complaint also alleges that the company's registration
statement and prospectus, financial statements, and public
statements about its results of operations contained material
false and misleading statements.

Defendants moved to dismiss the amended class action complaint on
March 15, 2010.

The motion to dismiss is scheduled to be heard by the District
Court on June 21, 2010.

SKILLED HEALTHCARE: Continues to Defend "Bates" Suit in Calif.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. continues to defend the matter
captioned Lavender (Bates) v. Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. and
twenty-three of its companies, according to the company's May 4,
2010, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

On May 4, 2006, three plaintiffs filed a complaint against the
company in the Superior Court of California, Humboldt County,
entitled Lavender (Bates) v. Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. and
twenty-three of its companies.

In the complaint, the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that
certain California-based facilities operated by the company's
wholly owned operating companies failed to provide an adequate
number of qualified personnel to care for their residents and
misrepresented the quality of care provided in their facilities.

Plaintiffs allege these failures violated, among other things,
the residents' rights, the California Health and Safety Code, the
California Business and Professions Code and the Consumer Legal
Remedies Act.

Plaintiffs seek, among other things, restitution of money paid
for services allegedly promised to, but not received by, facility
residents during the period from Sept. 1, 2003 to the present.

The complaint further sought class certification of in excess of
32,000 plaintiffs as well as injunctive relief, punitive damages
and attorneys' fees.

In response to the complaint, the company filed a demurrer.  On
Nov. 28, 2006, the Humboldt Court denied the demurrer.

On Jan. 31, 2008, the Humboldt Court denied the company's motion
for a protective order as to the names and addresses of residents
within the facility and on April 7, 2008, the Humboldt Court
granted plaintiffs' motion to compel electronic discovery by the
company.

On May 27, 2008, plaintiffs' motion for class certification was
heard, and the Humboldt Court entered its order granting
plaintiffs' motion for class certification on June 19, 2008.

The company subsequently petitioned the California Court of
Appeal, First Appellate District, for a writ and reversal of the
order granting class certification.  The Court of Appeal denied
the Company's writ on Nov. 6, 2008 and the company accordingly
filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court.

On Jan. 21, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied the
company's petition for review.

The order granting class certification accordingly remains in
place, and the action is proceeding as a class action.

Primary professional liability insurance coverage has been
exhausted for the policy year applicable to this case.  The
excess insurance carrier issuing the policy applicable to this
case has issued its reservation of rights to preserve an
assertion of non-coverage for this case due to the lack of any
allegation of injury or harm to the plaintiffs.

Trial in this matter commenced Nov. 30, 2009 and is ongoing.

The Company filed several distinct motions for summary judgment
and summary adjudication all of which were denied by the trial
court.  The company subsequently petitioned the California Court
of Appeal, First Appellate District, for a writ and reversal of
the order denying one of the motions for summary adjudication
addressing the purported duty to provide 3.2 nursing hours per
patient day and all causes of action in Plaintiffs' complaint
premised on Health and Safety Code Section 1276.5.

The Court of Appeal denied the company's writ on Feb. 23, 2010,
and the company accordingly filed a petition for review with the
California Supreme Court.

On April 14, 2010, the California Supreme Court denied the
company's petition for review.

Plaintiffs have now completed their case in chief for the first
phase of the trial and the company has invited its excess carrier
to reconsider its coverage position in light of some of the
plaintiffs' representations made during the trial.

At the conclusion of Plaintiffs' case in chief for the first
phase of the trial, the company believed that Plaintiffs failed
to establish sufficient facts to support their claims.

As a result, the company filed motions for judgment of nonsuit on
Plaintiffs' causes of action pursuant to Health & Safety Code
Section 1430(b); Business & Professions Code Sections 17200 et
seq., 17500 et. seq., and violation of the Consumers Legal
Remedies Act (Civ. Code Section 1750 et seq.,).

On April 16, 2010 the trial court denied the Company's motions
for nonsuit.

The company has begun to present evidence in support of its
defense and continues to zealously defend against plaintiffs'
claims, but cannot predict the outcome of the claims nor estimate
the amount of damages that could be assessed in the event of an
adverse outcome, which damages could have a material negative
effect on the company's financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

UNITED AGRI-PRODUCTS: Argues for Dismissal of Ill. Atrazine Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Amelia Flood at The Madison County Record reports that a
defendant in one of a series of proposed class actions over
atrazine's alleged water contamination argued that it has nothing
to do with selling the herbicide in Illinois and wants the case
against it thrown out.

But plaintiffs, led by Holiday Shores Sanitary District, argued
that defendant United Agri-Products Inc. (UAP) can't get around
the Illinois case just by claiming its subsidiaries are the ones
to sue.

Madison County Circuit Judge Barbara Crowder heard the arguments
Wednesday on a 2005 motion to dismiss.

UAP and other makers and distributors of weed killers containing
atrazine are fighting six class actions in Madison County as well
as a federal class action filed by attorneys Stephen Tillery and
Christine Moody.

At the hearing, UAP attorney Kurtis Reeg told Crowder his client
should not have been sued at all.

"Holiday Shores' problem here is they sued the wrong defendant,"
Reeg said.

Reeg argued that his client is merely an administrative company
that handles payroll, human resources and other daily management
duties for its subsidiaries.

He pointed out that UAP does not do business in Illinois, doesn't
have employees in the state and that it does not make or sell
atrazine products directly.

He told Crowder the case against UAP should be dismissed for a
lack of personal jurisdiction.

Tillery countered that UAP's own corporate representative, Mark
Tostle, testified in a Feb. 26, 2010 deposition that he worked
for UAP and its two subsidiaries, one of which directly deals
with atrazine.

Tillery stressed the functions UAP handles for the subsidiaries,
arguing they constituted 100 percent control needed for an
Illinois court to have jurisdiction.

He told Crowder the courts generally "see right through"
arguments like UAP's.

Tillery cited Tostle's deposition statements that although
atrazine sales may have been the province of UAP subsidiaries
that do sell in Illinois, the decision about the sales
arrangements were made by UAP staff based in Colorado where the
company is headquartered.

Crowder took the motion under advisement.

In the Madison County suits, Holiday Shores and seven other
Illinois municipalities propose to lead a class of water
providers alleging atrazine runs off farm fields and contaminates
their water supplies.

Tillery's federal suit has nearly identical claims and is led by
several water providers in neighboring states including Missouri
and Kansas.

Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ruled
atrazine is safe in drinking water up to 3 parts per billion, the
plaintiffs contend that smaller amounts can cause medical
problems in human beings.

In the Madison County suits' first amended complaints, the
plaintiffs dropped property damage claims.

The defendants had argued that property-related claims for co-
plaintiffs Hillsboro, Mattoon, Fairfield, Litchfield, Flora,
Carlinville and Mount Olive, should be spun off from the Holiday
Shores suits and returned to their home counties for proceedings.

Crowder denied that move after hearing arguments in late
February.

VULCAN MATERIALS: Certification Hearing in Addair Set for August
----------------------------------------------------------------
The class certification hearing in the matter Addair et al. v.
Processing Company, LLC, et al., were Vulcan Materials Company is
a defendant, has been scheduled for August 2010, according to the
company's May 4, 2010, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

The company is a defendant in several cases involving
perchloroethylene (perc), which was a product manufactured by the
company's former Chemicals business.  Perc is a cleaning solvent
used in dry cleaning and other industrial applications.
The cases involve various allegations of groundwater
contamination, or exposure to perc allegedly resulting in
personal injury.

One such case is a purported class action case for medical
monitoring and personal injury damages pending in the Circuit
Court of Wyoming County, West Virginia.

The plaintiffs allege various personal injuries from exposure to
perc used in coal sink labs.

Discovery is now complete.  The class certification hearing is
scheduled for August 2010.

Vulcan Materials Company is the nation's largest producer of
construction aggregates, a major producer of asphalt mix and
concrete and a leading producer of cement in Florida.


VULCAN MATERIALS: Subsidiary Defends Two Consolidated Complaints
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vulcan Materials Company's subsidiary, Florida Rock Industries,
Inc., remains a defendant in two consolidated complaints pending
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

A number of class action lawsuits were filed by several ready-
mixed concrete producers and construction companies against a
number of concrete and cement producers and importers in Florida.

There are now two consolidated complaints:

     (1) on behalf of direct independent ready-mixed concrete
         producers, and

     (2) on behalf of indirect users of ready-mixed concrete.

The defendants include Cemex Corp., Holcim (US) Inc., Lafarge
North America, Inc., Lehigh Cement Company, Oldcastle Materials,
Suwannee American Cement LLC, Titan America LLC, and Votorantim
Cimentos North America, Inc.

The complaints allege various violations under the federal
antitrust laws, including price fixing and market allocations.

No additional details were reported in the company's May 4, 2010,
Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Vulcan Materials Company is the nation's largest producer of
construction aggregates, a major producer of asphalt mix and
concrete and a leading producer of cement in Florida.


WELLS FARGO: Sued for Collecting Improper Mortgage Fees
-------------------------------------------------------
Adam Goodman, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated
v. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc., Case No. 2010-CH-22362 (Ill.
Cir. Ct., Cook Cty. May 25, 2010), accuses the retail mortgage
lender of wrongfully charging his escrow account a fee for
obtaining a copy of his tax bills on his mortgage property, in
breach of its contractual and fiduciary obligations.  Mr. Goodman
says these charges are not allowed by the escrow agreement or by
any contract governing his escrow account, constitute wrongful
conversion, and also violate Illinois consumer protection laws.  
Wells Fargo has refused to reimburse Mr. Goodman for the charges.
