ANAWALT LUMBER: Blumenthal Nordrehaug Files Overtime Class Action
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik on June 18 disclosed that on
May 27, 2014 the Los Angeles employment law attorneys at the law
firm filed a class action complaint against Anawalt Lumber Co.,
Inc., for alleged overtime pay violations.  Ledbetter, et al. vs.
Anawalt Lumber Co., Inc., Case No. BC546906 is currently pending
in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

According to the class action complaint filed against Anawalt, the
lumber company allegedly failed to pay their employees overtime
wages when these employees worked more than eight (8) hours in a
workday.  California has a daily overtime law that requires
payment of overtime wages if an employee works more than eight (8)
hours in a workday, unlike federal law which only has a weekly
overtime provision.

The complaint also alleges that Anawalt Lumber failed to provide
full, thirty (30) minute uninterrupted meal breaks prior to their
employees' fifth hour of work.  Under California Labor Code
Sections 226.7 and 512, an employer is liable to pay an employee
one hour of pay as a penalty each day the employee is not afforded
with a full thirty minute meal period prior to their fifth hour of
work.

For more information about the class action lawsuit against
Anawalt Lumber Co. call (800) 568-8020.

Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik is a California employment law
firm that dedicates its practice to helping employees fight back

BRIDGETON LANDFILL: Residents Pursue Radiation Risk-Related Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that a federal judge has ruled that
residents who collect damages from a $6.8 million class-action
settlement over the smoldering Bridgeton Landfill in St. Louis
County can still pursue separate legal claims related to radiation
risks.

A tentative agreement reached in April calls for the landfill's
owner to pay an average of nearly $13,000 per household to
hundreds of affected residents.  But some were prepared to turn
down the deal, which required approval by 95 percent of the 400
remaining class members.

The judge also extended the deadline for residents to approve the
deal to July 18.  The law firm representing the residents was
scheduled to hold meetings on the recent changes from 4:30 to 8:00
p.m. on June 19 and June 20 and from 9:00 a.m. to noon on June 21
at Pattonville High School in Maryland Heights.

DOLLAR GENERAL: Seeks Approval of $8.5MM FLSA Suit Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------------
The parties in the alleged Fair Labor Standards Act violation
suit, Cynthia Richter, et al. v. Dolgencorp, Inc., et al., is
seeking court approval for a $8.5 million settlement, according to
Dollar General Corp.'s May 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31,
2014.

On August 7, 2006, a lawsuit entitled Cynthia Richter, et al. v.
Dolgencorp, Inc., et al. was filed in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Case No. 7:06-cv-
01537-LSC) ("Richter") in which the plaintiff alleges that she and
other current and former Dollar General store managers were
improperly classified as exempt executive employees under the Fair
Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and seeks to recover overtime pay,
liquidated damages, and attorneys' fees and costs. On August 15,
2006, the Richter plaintiff filed a motion in which she asked the
court to certify a nationwide class of current and former store
managers. The Company opposed the plaintiff's motion. On March 23,
2007, the court conditionally certified a nationwide class. On
December 2, 2009, notice was mailed to over 28,000 current or
former Dollar General store managers. Approximately 3,950
individuals opted into the lawsuit, approximately 1,000 of whom
have been dismissed for various reasons, including failure to
cooperate in discovery.

On April 2, 2012, the Company moved to decertify the class.  The
plaintiff's response to that motion was filed on May 9, 2012.

On October 22, 2012, the court entered a memorandum opinion
granting the Company's decertification motion.  On December 19,
2012, the court entered an order decertifying the matter and
stating that a separate order would be entered regarding the opt-
in plaintiffs' rights and plaintiff Cynthia Richter's individual
claims. To date, the court has not entered such an order.

The parties agreed to mediate the matter, and the court informally
stayed the action pending the results of the mediation.
Mediations were conducted in January, April and August 2013.  On
August 10, 2013, the parties reached a preliminary agreement,
which has been formalized and submitted to the court for approval,
to resolve the matter for up to $8.5 million.  The Company has
deemed the settlement probable and recorded such amount as the
estimated expense in the second quarter of 2013.

The Company believes that its store managers are and have been
properly classified as exempt employees under the FLSA and that
the Richter action is not appropriate for collective action
treatment. The Company has obtained summary judgment in some,
although not all, of its pending individual or single-plaintiff
store manager exemption cases in which it has filed such a motion.


DOLLAR GENERAL: Seeks Approval of $4MM FCRA Suit Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dollar General Corp. is seeking court approval for a $4.08 million
settlement reached in a suit alleging violation of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act related to background check procedures, according to
the company's May, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

On April 9, 2012, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia entitled Jonathan Marcum, et al. v. Dolgencorp. Inc.
(Civil Action No. 3:12-cv-00108-JRS) in which the plaintiffs, one
of whose conditional offer of employment was rescinded, allege
that certain of the Company's background check procedures violate
the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA").  Plaintiff Marcum also
alleges defamation. According to the complaint and subsequently
filed first and second amended complaints, the plaintiffs seek to
represent a putative class of applicants in connection with their
FCRA claims. The Company responded to the complaint and each of
the amended complaints.  The plaintiffs' certification motion was
due to be filed on or before April 5, 2013; however, plaintiffs
asked the court to stay all deadlines in light of the parties'
ongoing settlement discussions.  On November 12, 2013, the court
entered an order lifting the stay but has not issued a new
scheduling order in light of the parties' preliminary agreement to
resolve the matter.

The parties have engaged in formal settlement discussions on three
occasions, once in January 2013 with a private mediator, and again
in March 2013 and July 2013 with a federal magistrate. On February
18, 2014, the parties reached a preliminary agreement to resolve
the matter for up to $4.08 million, which must be submitted to and
approved by the court.

The Company's Employment Practices Liability Insurance ("EPLI")
carrier has been placed on notice of this matter and participated
in both the formal and informal settlement discussions.  The EPLI
policy covering this matter has a $2 million self-insured
retention.  Because the Company believes that it is likely to
expend the balance of its self-insured retention in settlement of
this litigation or otherwise, it accrued $1.8 million in the
fourth quarter of 2012, an amount that is immaterial to the
Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole.

At this time, although probable, it is not certain that the court
will approve the settlement. If the court does not approve the
settlement and the case proceeds, it is not possible to predict
whether Marcum ultimately will be permitted to proceed as a class
action under the FCRA, and no assurances can be given that the
Company will be successful in its defense on the merits or
otherwise.  At this stage in the proceedings, the Company cannot
estimate either the size of any potential class or the value of
the claims asserted by the plaintiffs.


DOLLAR GENERAL: Discovery in EEOC's Suit to be Completed Sept.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fact discovery relating to liability in a suit by the Equal
Opportunity Commission against Dolgencorp, LLC d/b/a Dollar
General, alleging that the Company's criminal background check
policy has a disparate impact on "Black Applicants," is to be
completed by September 15, 2014, according to Dollar General
Corp.'s May 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

In September 2011, the Chicago Regional Office of the United
States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or
"Commission") notified the Company of a cause finding related to
the Company's criminal background check policy.  The cause finding
alleges that the Company's criminal background check policy, which
excludes from employment individuals with certain criminal
convictions for specified periods, has a disparate impact on
African-American candidates and employees in violation of Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended ("Title VII").

The Company and the EEOC engaged in the statutorily required
conciliation process, and despite the Company's good faith efforts
to resolve the matter, the Commission notified the Company on July
26, 2012 of its view that conciliation had failed.

On June 11, 2013, the EEOC filed a lawsuit in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entitled
Equal Opportunity Commission v. Dolgencorp, LLC d/b/a Dollar
General (Case No. 1:13-cv-04307) in which the Commission alleges
that the Company's criminal background check policy has a
disparate impact on "Black Applicants" in violation of Title VII
and seeks to recover monetary damages and injunctive relief on
behalf of a class of "Black Applicants."  The Company filed its
answer to the complaint on August 9, 2013.

On January 29, 2014, the court entered an order, which, among
other things, bifurcates the issues of liability and damages
during discovery and at trial.  Under this order, fact discovery
relating to liability is to be completed by September 15, 2014.  A
status conference is scheduled for June 5, 2014.


DOLLAR GENERAL: Seeks Consolidation of "Main" & "Varela" Suits
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dollar General Corp. filed a petition for the coordination of two
labor lawsuits: Victoria Lee Dinger Main v. Dolgen California, LLC
and Does 1 through 100 (Case No. 34-2013-00146129) and Juan Varela
v. Dolgen California and Does 1 through 50 (Case No. RIC 1306158),
according to the company's May 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended
March 31, 2014.

On May 23, 2013, a lawsuit entitled Juan Varela v. Dolgen
California and Does 1 through 50 (Case No. RIC 1306158) ("Varela")
was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Riverside in which the plaintiff alleges that he and
other "key carriers" were not provided with meal and rest periods
in violation of California law and seeks to recover alleged unpaid
wages, injunctive relief, consequential damages, pre-judgment
interest, statutory penalties and attorneys' fees and costs.  The
Varela plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of California
"key carriers" as to these claims.  The Varela plaintiff also
asserts a claim for unfair business practices and seeks to proceed
under California's Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA").

The Company removed the action to the United States District Court
for the Central District of California (Case No. 5:13-cv-01172VAP-
SP) on July 1, 2013, and filed its answer to the complaint on July
1, 2013.  On July 30, 2013, the plaintiff moved to remand the
action to state court.  The Company's response to that motion was
filed on August 19, 2013.

On September 13, 2013, the court granted plaintiff's motion and
remanded the case. The Company filed a petition for permission to
appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
on September 23, 2013.  Although the petition for permission to
appeal remains pending, based on the Ninth Circuit's denial of a
similar petition filed by the Company in the Main matter, the
Company has filed a petition for coordination of those matters. A
status conference has been scheduled by the Superior Court for
July 23, 2014.

Similarly, on June 6, 2013, a lawsuit entitled Victoria Lee Dinger
Main v. Dolgen California, LLC and Does 1 through 100 (Case No.
34-2013-00146129) ("Main") was filed in the Superior Court of the
State of California for the County of Sacramento.  The Main
plaintiff alleges that she and other "key carriers" were not
provided with meal and rest periods, accurate wage statements and
appropriate pay upon termination in violation of California wage
and hour laws and seeks to recover alleged unpaid wages,
declaratory relief, restitution, statutory penalties and
attorneys' fees and costs.  The Main plaintiff seeks to represent
a putative class of California "key carriers" as to these claims.
The Main plaintiff also asserts a claim for unfair business
practices and seeks to proceed under the PAGA.

The Company removed this action to the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of California (Case No. 2:13-cv-
01637-MCE-KJN) on August 7, 2013, and filed its answer to the
complaint on August 6, 2013.  On August 29, 2013, the plaintiff
moved to remand the action to state court.  The Company's response
to that motion was filed on September 19, 2013.  On October 28,
2013, the court granted plaintiff's motion and remanded the case.
The Company filed a petition for permission to appeal to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on November
7, 2013.  The plaintiff filed its opposition brief on November 15,
2013. The Ninth Circuit denied the petition for permission to
appeal on April 10, 2014.

On February 6, 2014, the Superior Court referred the matter to the
trial setting process and ordered the parties to confer and agree
upon a date for trial and a mandatory settlement conference.  The
parties are to advise the court of the date agreed upon for a
trial and settlement conference no later than January 30, 2015.
If the parties are unable to agree upon a date by such time, the
court will assign the next available dates.

On April 28, 2014, the Company filed a petition for coordination
of the Main and Varela matters.   As no hearing date has been
scheduled, no deadline currently exists for either plaintiff's
response to the petition for coordination.


DOLLAR GENERAL: "Wass" FLSA Litigation in Limited Discovery
-----------------------------------------------------------
The suit Judith Wass v. Dolgen Corp, LLC (Case No. 13PO-CC00039)
is in limited discovery and plaintiff's deadline to file any
supplemental brief was due by June 15, 2014, according to the
company's May 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

On May 31, 2013, a lawsuit entitled Judith Wass v. Dolgen Corp,
LLC (Case No. 13PO-CC00039) ("Wass") was filed in the Circuit
Court of Polk County, Missouri.  The Wass plaintiff seeks to
proceed collectively on behalf of a nationwide class of similarly
situated non-exempt store employees who allegedly were not
properly paid for certain breaks in violation of the FLSA.  The
Wass plaintiff seeks back wages (including overtime), injunctive
and declaratory relief, liquidated damages, pre- and post-judgment
interest, and attorneys' fees and costs.

On July 11, 2013, the Company removed this action to the United
States District Court for the Western District of Missouri (Case
No. 6:113-cv-03267-JFM).  The Company filed its answer on July 18,
2013.

On March 28, 2014, the Wass plaintiff moved for conditional
certification of her FLSA claims.  Shortly thereafter, on April 3,
2014, the plaintiff moved the court for permission to conduct
additional limited discovery and to file a supplemental brief in
support of her motion for conditional certification.  By agreement
of the parties, the court permitted the limited discovery and
ordered that the plaintiff file any supplemental brief by June 15,
2014, or within 15 days from the last deposition of Company's
corporate representatives.  The Company's response to plaintiff's
motion for conditional certification and any supplemental briefing
is due 30 days thereafter.


DOLLAR GENERAL: Motion to Certify "Buttry" Suit Due by Sept.
------------------------------------------------------------
The motion for certification of the statewide claims in Rachel
Buttry and Jennifer Peters v. Dollar General Corp. (Case No. 3:13-
cv-00652) is due to be filed on or before September 22, 2014,
according to the company's May 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended
March 31, 2014.

Similarly, on July 2, 2013, a lawsuit entitled Rachel Buttry and
Jennifer Peters v. Dollar General Corp. (Case No. 3:13-cv-00652)
("Buttry") was filed in the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Tennessee.  The Buttry plaintiffs seek to
proceed on a nationwide collective basis under the FLSA and as a
statewide class under Tennessee law on behalf of non-exempt store
employees who allegedly were not properly paid for certain breaks.
The Buttry plaintiffs seek back wages (including overtime),
injunctive and declaratory relief, liquidated damages,
compensatory and economic damages, "consequential" and
"incidental" damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and
attorneys' fees and costs.

The Company filed its answer on August 7, 2013.  The plaintiffs
filed their motion for conditional certification of their FLSA
claims on December 5, 2013, to which the Company responded on
February 3, 2014.  On April 4, 2014, the court denied plaintiffs'
certification motion.  Plaintiffs filed a motion for
reconsideration or in the alternative for permission to seek
interlocutory appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit on April 18, 2014. The court denied the plaintiffs'
motion on April 24, 2014.

The Buttry plaintiffs' motion for certification of their statewide
claims is due to be filed on or before September 22, 2014.  The
court has set this matter for trial on February 17, 2015.


DOLLAR GENERAL: Still Faces "Harsey" Labor Suit in Fla. Court
-------------------------------------------------------------
The labor suit of non-exempt store employees of Dollar General
Corp. continues in the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Florida, according to the company's May 3, 2014, Form
10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

On March 19, 2014, a lawsuit entitled Danielle Harsey v.
Dolgencorp, LLC (Case No. 5:14-cv-00168-WTH-PRL) ("Harsey") was
filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District
of Florida.  The Harsey plaintiff seeks to proceed on a nationwide
collective basis under the FLSA and as a statewide class under the
Florida Minimum Wage Act on behalf of all similarly situated non-
exempt store employees who allegedly were not paid for all hours
worked.  The Harsey plaintiff seeks back wages (including
overtime), liquidated damages, pre- and post-judgment interest,
injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees and costs. The Company
filed its answer on May 7, 2014.


EDDIE MERLOT: Faces Class Action Over Tip Pooling Policy
--------------------------------------------------------
Gil Corsey, writing for WDRB.com, reports that Eddie Merlot, one
of Louisville's finest steakhouses, faces a class action lawsuit
over its tip pooling policy.

"I'm a server now," said Michael Parsley, a server at the
steakhouse.  "If I work all night and don't get a drink from the
bar, I shouldn't have to tip the bartender, should I?"

Michael Parsley helped open the high-dollar restaurant more than
three years ago.  Now he's one of the eight current and former
employees suing it.  At issue: Eddie Merlot's tip pooling policy.

Mr. Parsley says he can't tip colleagues based on what a customer
leaves in gratuity.  Eddie Merlot servers are forced to put five
percent of their daily sales into a pot for hosts, runners, and
other support staff, who make minimum wage, while he earns $2.13
an hour.

"We do not have a problem tipping our staff," Mr. Parsley said.
"Now, sometimes, the staff realizes they're going to make that
money regardless of what they do."

"That's not fair," he added.  "I think everybody would hustle more
if I handed him money at the end of the night versus he's getting
what he's getting regardless of what I made."

Sharing tips is common in restaurants, but in Kentucky it's
illegal to require it.

Some workers from Lynn's Paradise Cafe claim they were fired for
not following this restaurant's tip sharing policy.  The owner
denied that allegation.  A few weeks later, the restaurant closed.

Two former employees at Doc Crows filed a similar tip-sharing
lawsuit.  It was dismissed.

Diners and former servers themselves are on the fence.

"We never pooled our tips -- we just rotated tables," said Vytas
Dovrovolskis, a former bartender.

"They were all part of the process, from seating people to getting
the food out," said former server Kelly Lasita.

Company leaders would only tell WDRB they haven't seen the class
action suit yet and couldn't comment on the case.

"It's a great restaurant," said Mr. Parsley.

Mr. Parsley says he likes his job, but he wants to be able to
afford to keep it.

"We work here, this is how it is now, we want it to change," he
said.  "Sometimes one voice or eight voices can help that change,
and I hope it changes in Louisville and Kentucky and nationally."


ELECTROLUX HOME: Settles Class Action Over Defective Dryers
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kyla Asbury, writing for Legal Newsline, reports that Electrolux
Home Products Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit
that alleged its dryers caught fire because they were defective.

Electrolux agreed to pay up to $8 million in attorneys' fees,
$1,300 per fire, a cash rebate to assist in the purchase of a
replacement Electrolux-brand or Frigidaire-brand dryer or other
home appliance up to a maximum of $350 off the price and an online
code that can be used to purchase new products at up to a 20
percent discount from Electrolux's website, according to the
settlement agreement filed April 30 in the U.S. District Court for
the Central District of California.

Class members will also be notified that they need to regularly
clean the dryer lint and will get free cleaning services if they
have problems within the first five years of ownership.

"The menu of options available through the settlement -- all of
which provide benefits that are uncapped by Electrolux, and allow
the settlement class members to choose multiple options -- provide
fair and adequate benefits to the settlement class when considered
in light of the litigation risks," the settlement document states.

The settlement applies to customers who bought Frigidaire, White
Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Crosley and Kenmore
ball-hitch dryers made between 2002 and 2011.

Electrolux has denied that its dryers are defective or that they
pose an unreasonable fire hazard to consumers.

The company denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the
Electrolux dryer class action lawsuit to avoid the risk and
expense of further litigation.

The settlement was preliminarily approved on May 5.

"The parties entered into the settlement agreement solely for the
purpose of compromising and settling disputed claims," District
Judge Christina A. Snyder's order states.

The lawsuit was first filed in 2012 after plaintiffs Shawn Roberts
and Nicole Horton claimed the dryers allowed lint to accumulate
behind the drum, putting it close to the machine's heat source and
increasing its chance of catching fire.

Some of the fires spread to clothing in the dryer to travel
through a plastic air duct, which provided more fuel and did not
contain the fires, according to the suit.

The plaintiffs claimed Electrolux was negligent, breached its
express and implied warranties, was negligent in failing to recall
or retrofit the dryers, breached its strict product liability,
failed to warn the class members, was unjustly enriched and
violated multiple state consumer protection laws.

GENERAL MOTORS: Plaintiffs Raise Concerns Over Compensation Fund
----------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Bronstad, writing for The National Law Journal, reports
that lawyers who represent victims of General Motors Co.'s
ignition switch defects are raising concerns about a planned
compensation fund, pushing for punitive damages and questioning
who would be eligible.

During a June 18 congressional hearing over GM's recalls, chief
executive officer Mary Barra promised that the fund would not be
capped and that people with injuries or deaths predating its 2009
bankruptcy could be eligible.  She said GM would begin processing
claims on Aug. 1.

"If the ignition switch was part of the issue, we want them in the
program," she said.

But she deferred specifics to the fund's administrator, claims
attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who is expected to announce the details
within a few weeks.  He has been meeting with plaintiffs lawyers
to gather their views.  Some of those lawyers, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said they were pleased with some details,
such as the possibility of including cases in which the driver was
at fault, even if he or she was intoxicated.

But they're pushing for additional concessions.

"We know the direction he is leading us into, and we're not sure
we like all of it," said Jere Beasley --
jere.beasley@beasleyallen.com -- founding shareholder of Beasley,
Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles in Montgomery, Ala.

Mr. Feinberg and GM spokesman Greg Martin declined to comment.

Mr. Feinberg is a seasoned administrator of victim funds,
including those for last year's Boston Marathon bombings, BP PLC's
Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.  GM
has recalled 2.6 million vehicles this year over the defect, which
could shut down engines, disabling power steering, airbags and
other functions.

Plaintiffs lawyers, many of whom remain embittered about
Mr. Feinberg's handling of BP's $20 billion fund for oil spill
victims, are pushing for punitive damages, given that GM knew of
the defect for more than a decade.  Unlike the BP fund, which
focused primarily on business losses incurred in the months after
the spill, GM's fund involves injuries and deaths directly caused
by the defect.

In court, juries could award punitive damages.

"In fact, if a jury hears what we know already -- and we don't
know everything yet -- they will punish General Motors severely
without any doubt," Mr. Beasley said.

Several plaintiffs attorneys raised concerns about how the fund
would categorize the causes of accidents.  U.S. Rep. Morgan
Griffith (R-Va.) was among several officials who asked
Ms. Barra during the hearing whether Mr. Feinberg was looking at
"other parameters" than airbag failures.  His concern stemmed, he
said, from the 13 dead whom GM has acknowledged, all of whom were
in accidents in which airbags failed.

"How many deaths are there and accidents are there that aren't on
GM's list where the proximate cause of the accident was the
stalling itself, not just an increase in the injuries because air
bags didn't deploy?" Mr. Griffith said in an interview.  "I don't
think air bags are the only issues they have to deal with."

Then there are the additional recalls -- most recently on June 16
of 3.2 million vehicles -- which GM said involved an unrelated
ignition problem.

"It's clear from the comments from Mr. Feinberg that there's
nothing set in stone yet about even what vehicles will be included
in the scope of the plan," said Lance Cooper, founding partner of
The Cooper Firm in Marietta, Ga.

Also unclear is whether a victim would be forced to give up all
legal claims by participating in the fund.  When pressed on that
question, Ms. Barra told Congress that the program was "in lieu of
going to court."

Still, regardless of the details, the fund might be the best
choice for some victims.  "I don't like to put somebody in a
lawsuit -- in a products case, which is extremely expensive to
litigate -- for a broken leg," Mr. Beasley said.  "In the
compensation fund, a broken leg would be compensated."


GRAND DADDY'S: Removed "Mays" Suit to Wisconsin District Court
--------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit styled Elizabeth Mays v. Grand Daddy's,
LLC, et al., Case No. 2014 CV 412, was removed from the Circuit
Court of Marathon County, Wisconsin, to the United States District

Clerk assigned Case No. 3:14-cv-00461-slc to the proceeding.

During relevant times, Ms. Mays worked for the Defendants as an
exotic dancer.

Ms. Mays alleges that the Defendants refused to pay her and all
other similarly situated exotic dancers an hourly wage for the
hours they have worked as employees of the Defendants.

IOVATE HEALTH: Settles Class Action Over False Hydroxycut Claims
----------------------------------------------------------------
Iovate Health Sciences USA Inc. has reached a class action lawsuit
settlement over allegations it made false and misleading
statements about the effectiveness of its Hydroxycut dietary
supplement products.

If you purchased a Hydroxycut product between July 20, 2008 and
March 19, 2014, you may be eligible to claim a cash refund through
the Hydroxycut class action settlement.  No Proof of Purchase
necessary.

Case Summary:

The Iovate Hydroxycut class action lawsuit was initially filed in
2012 by a plaintiff who says he relied on allegedly false and
misleading statements on labeling and in advertisements regarding
the effectiveness of Hydroxycut products, and that such statements
violate state consumer protection laws, the Magnuson Moss Warranty
Act and warranties related to Hydroxycut.  According to the
Hydroxycut lawsuit, Iovate was unjustly enriched as a result of
these allegedly false and misleading statements.

Iovate denies the allegations but agreed to settle the Hydroxycut
class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and distraction of
litigation.

Potential Award:

Class Members who have receipts of their purchase are eligible to
receive a full refund of any Hydroxycut product purchased during
the Class Period.  Class Members without Proof of Purchase will be

JC PENNEY: Court Enters Scheduling Order in Securities Lawsuit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division
entered a scheduling order on May 13, 2014, requiring that
plaintiff in securities suit against J.C. Penney Company Inc. to
file a consolidated amended complaint within 60 days,
according to the company's June 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended May
3, 2014.

From October 1, 2013 through October 24, 2013, four purported
class action complaints were filed naming the Company, Myron E.
Ullman, III and Kenneth H. Hannah as defendants, by the following
plaintiffs, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas,
Tyler Division: Marcus (filed October 1, 2013), Erdem (filed
October 7, 2013), Murphy (filed October 21, 2013) and Gilbert
(filed October 24, 2013).  The Marcus, Erdem and Gilbert
complaints are purportedly brought on behalf of persons who
acquired the company's common stock during the period from August
20, 2013 through September 26, 2013.  The complaint filed by
Murphy is purportedly brought on behalf of persons who acquired
the company's securities, including common stock, debt securities,
and purchasers of call and sellers of put options, during the
period from May 16, 2013 through September 26, 2013, and also
names William A. Ackman, a former member of the Board of
Directors, as a defendant.  The complaints allege claims for
violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  Plaintiffs
claim that the defendants made false and misleading statements
and/or omissions regarding the Company's financial condition and
business prospects that caused the company's common stock to trade
at artificially inflated prices.  The complaints seek class
certification, unspecified compensatory damages, including
interest, reasonable costs and expenses, and other relief as the
court may deem just and proper.  On December 2, 2013, various
parties filed motions with the court seeking consolidation of the
pending cases and appointment of lead plaintiff.  On December 17,
2013, Murphy filed a notice of dismissal of his case without
prejudice. On February 28, 2014, the Court entered an order
consolidating the pending cases and appointed Plaintiff National
Shopmen Pension Fund as lead plaintiff and the law firm Robbins
Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as lead counsel for the class, with Ward
& Smith Law Firm as liaison counsel. Plaintiff Aletti Gestielle
SGR S.p.A. filed a motion for reconsideration of the appointment,
which the Court denied on May 8, 2014. The Court entered a
scheduling order on May 13, 2014, requiring that plaintiff file a
consolidated amended complaint within 60 days.

KINDRED HEALTHCARE: Alameda County Caregivers File Class Action
---------------------------------------------------------------
Malaika Fraley, writing for Oakland Tribune, reports that a class-
action lawsuit filed on June 18 against a leading nationwide
health care services company alleges caregivers tending to the
elderly, ill and disabled in the Bay Area and throughout the state
are being denied overtime and breaks in violation of California
labor laws.

The lawsuit against the Kentucky-based Kindred Healthcare and its
subsidiaries -- Professional Healthcare at Home and NP Plus --
alleges that employee caregivers contracted out to assisted living
and rehabilitation facilities to provide nonmedical care are
working 12- to 24-hour shifts without receiving overtime or breaks
for meals and rest.  The workers deployed to private residences
are receiving a flat-pay wage that breaks down to below minimum
wage, the lawsuit alleges.

The lead plaintiffs, Emma Delores Hawkins, of San Pablo, and
Ginger Rogers, of Sacramento, are both veteran caregivers who work
12-hour shifts five to seven days a week in private residences and
facilities in Alameda County.

"You might get a chance to go to the bathroom, but getting fresh
air or taking a break -- it's not happening.  Not a lunch break,
not a 15-minute break, nothing," Ms. Rogers said.  "It's been
going on for quite some time.  Unfortunately, a lot of people have
not been speaking up.  I decided to speak up.  I'm going for some
change in the health care profession."

Susan Moss, senior vice president of marketing and communications
at Kindred Healthcare, said on June 18 that the company is unable
to comment at this time because it had not been served with the
lawsuit and therefore have not had the opportunity to review the
allegations.

The lawsuit is being brought by the Legal Aid Society-Employment
Law Center, Women's Employment Rights Clinic of Golden Gate
University School of Law and the Oakland-based law firm Lewis,
Feinberg, Lee, Renaker & Jackson on behalf of caregivers who have
worked for the defendants in the last four years.

Some 300 caregivers work for the plaintiffs in California in
private homes and in facilities at any given time, the law firm
says, but the lawsuit has implications for the estimated 3.5
million such caregivers in the United States.

"We hope the lawsuit will set an industry standard requiring
compliance with laws that govern this kind of work," said
Hina Shah, an attorney for the plaintiffs.


KPMG: Settles Unitholders' Class Action for At Least AU$20-Mil.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Allen, writing for The Australian, reports that a class
action brought by more than 2000 small unitholders against
auditing and accounting giant KPMG has been settled out of court
for at least AU$20 million.

Unitholders in the Premium Income Fund, an offshoot of Gold Coast-
based finance, property and tourism group MFS, also known as
Octavia, brought the case against KPMG, which was acting as the
managed investment scheme's compliance plan auditor.  MFS
collapsed in early 2008 owing about AU$3 billion.

The Federal Court case before judge Nye Perram was due to begin
hearing from October.  But KPMG started negotiating the settlement
over the past couple of weeks, sources said.

While terms of the settlement are subject to court approval,
litigation funder Bentham IMF does not expect any proceeds from
the settlement to start flowing to unitholders until later this
year.

The class action concerns a series of related-party transactions
that allegedly occurred between 2006 and 2007 involving AU$147.5
million of PIF funds allegedly used by MFS to improperly pay a
September dividend in 2007 and to repay a AU$103 million in debt
to funder Fortress.

Although the amount of the settlement was not released, a source
close to the negotiations said it was at least AU$20 million.

Bentham IMF could earn up to about one-third of the AU$20 million
fee.  However, the settlement deed is still to be put in place.

In a brief statement to the ASX on June 18, Bentham IMF said it
would make a further announcement if and when a binding settlement
deed was executed.

On June 18, a KPMG spokesman said the firm had reached an in-
principle settlement of proceedings by unitholders and the
responsible entity of the managed investment scheme previously
known as MFS Premium Income Fund "subject to federal court
approval".  KPMG declined to comment further.

There are separate proceedings under way in Queensland brought by
ASIC against a number of former MFS directors.

MFS co-founder Michael King, who is overseas, declined to comment,
saying he was unaware of the outcome of the KPMG case.

situated v. Labriola Cafe - Michigan Ave., LLC and Richard

LENOVO CANADA: Faces Class Action Following Online Price Error
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nicole Bogart, writing for Global News, reports that a proposed
class action lawsuit has been filed against Lenovo Canada
following an online price error that left thousands of customers
with cancelled orders.  The proposed lawsuit calls on Lenovo
Canada to award damages equal to the difference between the
wrongful sale price and the actual price, as well as punitive
damages.

In May, Lenovo Canada abruptly cancelled customer orders over a
pricing error during an online "Door Buster" sale in which
customers were able to place orders for computers at up to 80 per
cent off.

"Between May 22 and May 23, 2014, a pricing error occurred on the
Lenovo Canada website for select Lenovo laptops.  The error
mistakenly allowed a 'door buster' e-coupon to be combined with an
instant savings discount price.  As a result, prices and the
automatically generated calculation of discount percentages and
savings appeared in error," a Lenovo spokesperson said.

Lenovo offered affected customers $100 off their next purchase as
a "gesture of goodwill," but the offer has been widely rejected by
consumers who want the company to honor the original discount.

Lenovo Canada declined to comment on the proposed lawsuit, which
was started by Quebec resident Sebastien Crete on behalf of all
affected customers.  Mr. Crete, who purchased a laptop during the
price error, told Global News on June 16 he started the lawsuit to
stand up for affected customers.  The proposed lawsuit must be
approved by a federal court before proceeding.

Many customers have also complained to Canada's Competition
Bureau.  Section 74.05 of the Competition Act prohibits the sale
of a product at a price higher than its advertised price --
however, "the provision does not apply if the advertised price was
a mistake and the error was immediately corrected."

A petition calling on Lenovo to honor the sale price of the laptop
has garnered over 6,000 signatures to date.

NATROL INC: "Lesher" Suit Included in Glucosamine/Chondroitin MDL
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit styled Lesher v. Natrol, Inc., et al.,
Case No. 1:14-cv-01867, was transferred from the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois to the U.S. District
Court for the District of Maryland (Baltimore).  The Maryland
District Court Clerk assigned Case No. 1:14-cv-01981-JFM to the
proceeding.

The lawsuit will be included in the multidistrict litigation known
as In Re: Natrol, Inc., Glucosamine/Chondroitin Marketing and
Sales Practices Litigation, MDL No. 1:14-md-02528-JFM.

Natrol, Inc., is a Delaware corporation headquartered in
Chatsworth, California.  Natrol is a step-down, wholly owned
subsidiary of Plethico Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., a publicly-traded
pharmaceutical corporation based in Mumbai, India.  Natrol
operates in the herbal and nutraceutical sphere, predominantly in
the United States of America.  Natrol manufactures and sells a
portfolio of healthcare and wellness brands representing
nutritional supplements, functional herbal teas and sports
nutritional products.

One of Natrol's major products, which falsely purport to repair or
regrow cartilage and to improve joint health, is Natrol's
Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM.  The complaints allege that Natrol's
claims are scientifically unsound, false and misleading because
its products cannot help repair, regenerate or rebuild cartilage
or improve joint health.


NEWS CORP: Catalina Seeks to Quash Non-Party Subpoena
-----------------------------------------------------
Catalina Marketing Corporation asks the U.S. District Court for
the Middle District of Florida to quash a subpoena duces tecum
served upon it by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP,
counsel for the Defendants in the class action lawsuit titled Dial
Corporation, et al. v. News Corporation, et al., Case No. 13-CIV-
06802 (WHP), currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York.

Catalina contends that the Subpoena should be quashed because it
imposes an undue burden on Catalina in that its vague requests
seek a number of documents unquantifiable at present but which
that would likely take thousands of man-hours to collect.
Catalina adds that the information requested contains highly
confidential, sensitive commercial information belonging to
Catalina -- including Catalina's business development and research
information -- for which the instant protective order provides no
protection to Catalina.

In their complaint, the Plaintiffs contend that in two relevant
markets, the multifaceted and pervasive exclusionary strategies of
the Defendants have violated the antitrust laws of the United
States of America.  The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants have
suppressed competitive promotion of a massive number of consumer
goods in 40,000 retail stores, and scores of newspapers
nationwide, to acquire and maintain two unlawful monopolies and
earn large monopoly profits at the expense of its purchasers,
which have paid unlawful, above-competitive prices.

PETCO ANIMAL: Faces Class Action Over ZIP Code Collection
---------------------------------------------------------
Kira Lerner, Andrew Scurria and Brandon Lowrey, writing for
Law360, report that Petco Animal Supplies Store Inc. was hit on
June 17 with a proposed class action in Massachusetts federal
court alleging the retailer violates state law by requiring
customers to divulge their ZIP codes when making credit card
purchases.

Lead plaintiffs Jeffrey Scolnick and Leah Crohn allege that Petco
would not allow them to complete credit card purchases without
revealing their ZIP codes, even though the store is not required
by credit card issuers to collect this information from customers,
according to the complaint.  As a result, they have received
unwanted marketing materials from Petco and the store has sold
their information to third parties.

"Petco recorded plaintiffs' ZIP codes into an electronic credit
card transaction form," the complaint said.  "Petco continues to
store plaintiffs' personal identification information, including
plaintiffs' name, ZIP code and credit card number, in its
databases."

According to the complaint, Massachusetts' high court has
determined that ZIP codes constitute personal information under
the Massachusetts Unfair Trade Practices Act, which prohibits the
collection of personal information by retailers.  Consumers place
a high value on the privacy of their personal identifiable
information, the plaintiffs said.

Mr. Scolnick and Ms. Crohn allege they have been injured because
of the marketing materials they have received without consent and
by Petco's sale of their personally identifiable information to
third parties.

The suit seeks to represent all customers from whom Petco
requested personally identifiable information when making a credit
card purchase in Massachusetts, according to the complaint.  The
plaintiffs said they do not yet know the potential number of class
members.

Other retailers have also been recently targeted over their
collection of customers' ZIP codes during credit card
transactions.  Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is facing a proposed class
action but argues that stores can request such information when
they are contractually obligated to do so by credit card issuers,
when they are required by law or when the information is collected
for a "special purpose" such as fraud prevention.

Wal-Mart operates under separate contracts with Visa, American
Express and Discover, and AmEx requires ZIP codes to verify
certain purchases, the retailer said.

A separate suit also pending in Massachusetts federal court
alleges that Urban Outfitters Inc. subsidiary Free People LLC
violated fair business laws by collecting customers' ZIP codes
during credit card transactions and using the information to send
them junk mail.

Plaintiffs are represented by Joseph J. Siprut --
jsiprut@siprut.com -- and Alexander Shapoval --
ashapoval@siprut.com -- of Siprut PC.

The case is Scolnick et al. v. Petco Animal Supplies Store Inc.,
case number 1:14-cv-12547, in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Massachusetts.

SIGNET JEWELERS: Class Cert. Bid in Sex Bias Suit v. Unit Pending
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The motion for class certification of a gender discrimination suit
against Sterling Jewelers Inc. is now pending before an
Arbitrator, according to Signet Jewelers Limited's May 3, 2014,
Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarter ended May 3, 2014.

In March 2008, a group of private plaintiffs (the "Claimants")
filed a class action lawsuit for an unspecified amount against
Sterling Jewelers Inc. ("Sterling"), a subsidiary of Signet, in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
alleging that US store-level employment practices are
discriminatory as to compensation and promotional activities with
respect to gender. In June 2008, the District Court referred the
matter to private arbitration where the Claimants sought to
proceed on a class-wide basis. Discovery has been completed. The
Claimants filed a motion for class certification and Sterling
opposed the motion. A hearing on the class certification motion
was held in late February 2014. The motion is now pending before
the Arbitrator.


SIGNET JEWELERS: EEOC Appeals Dismissal of Gender Bias Lawsuit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed its Notice
of Appeal of a District Court Judge's dismissal of a gender
discrimination action against Signet Jewelers Limited, according
to the company's May 3, 2014, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended May 3,
2014.

On September 23, 2008, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission ("EEOC") filed a lawsuit against Sterling in the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of New York. The EEOC's
lawsuit alleges that Sterling engaged in intentional and disparate
impact gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions of
female retail store employees from January 1, 2003 to the present.
The EEOC asserts claims for unspecified monetary relief and non-
monetary relief against the Company on behalf of a class of female
employees subjected to these alleged practices. Non-expert fact
discovery closed in mid-May 2013. In September 2013, Sterling made
a motion for partial summary judgment on procedural grounds, which
was referred to a Magistrate Judge. The Magistrate Judge heard
oral arguments on the summary judgment motion in December 2013. On
January 2, 2014, the Magistrate Judge issued his Report,
Recommendation and Order, recommending that the Court grant
Sterling's motion for partial summary judgment and dismiss the
EEOC's claims in their entirety. The EEOC filed its objections to
the Magistrate Judge's ruling and Sterling filed its response
thereto. The District Court Judge heard oral arguments on the
EEOC's objections to the Magistrate Judge's ruling on March 7,
2014 and on March 11, 2014 entered an order dismissing the action
with prejudice. On May 12, 2014 the EEOC filed its Notice of
Appeal of the District Court Judge's dismissal of the action to
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal
is proceeding.


SIGNET JEWELERS: Court Refuses Injunction v. Zale Acquisition
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware denied
shareholders' motion for a preliminary injunction against the
acquisition of Zale, according to the company's May 3, 2014, Form
10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
the quarter ended May 3, 2014.

Five putative stockholder class action lawsuits challenging the
Company's acquisition of Zale Corp. have been filed in the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware: Breyer v. Zale Corp. et al.,
C.A. No. 9388-VCP, filed February 24, 2014; Stein v. Zale Corp. et
al., C.A. No. 9408-VCP, filed March 3, 2014; Singh v. Zale Corp.
et al., C.A. No. 9409-VCP, filed March 3, 2014; Smart v. Zale
Corp. et al., C.A. No. 9420-VCP, filed March 6, 2014; and Pill v.
Zale Corp. et al., C.A. No. 9440-VCP, filed March 12, 2014
(collectively, the "Actions"). Each of these Actions is brought by
a purported holder of Zale common stock, both individually and on
behalf of a putative class of Zale stockholders. The Court of
Chancery consolidated the Actions on March 25, 2014 (the
"Consolidated Action"), and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated
amended complaint on April 23, 2014. The Consolidated Action names
as defendants Zale, the members of the board of directors of Zale,
the Company, and a merger-related subsidiary of the Company. The
Consolidated Actions alleges that the Zale directors breached
their fiduciary duties to Zale stockholders in connection with
their consideration and approval of the merger agreement by
failing to maximize stockholder value and agreeing to an
inadequate merger price and to deal terms that deter higher bids.
The Consolidated Actions also alleges that the Zale directors
issued a materially misleading and incomplete proxy statement
regarding the merger. Further, the Consolidated Action alleges
that Zale and the Company aided and abetted the Zale directors'
breaches of fiduciary duty. The Consolidated Actions seeks, among
other things, an injunction to prevent the consummation of the
merger or, in the event that the merger is consummated, rescission
of the merger or damages, as well as attorneys' and experts' fees.
On May 23, 2014, the Chancery Court of Chancery denied
plaintiff's' motion for a preliminary injunction.

The recall involves KISSY KISSY Velour Baby Footies made of 80%
cotton and 20% polyester and KISSY KISSY Cotton Baby Footies made
of 100% Pima cotton.  Only size 6-9 months is included in this
recall.

Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined
that these products do not meet the flammability requirements for
children's sleepwear under Canadian law.

Loose-fitting children's sleepwear can contact ignition sources
such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than
tight-fitting sleepwear, and once ignited will burn rapidly,
potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the
child's body.  For this reason, cotton is not permitted in loose-
fitting sleepwear.

Neither Health Canada nor Tatiana & Company has received any
reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of
these garments.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS: "Engineers" Suit Included in Aggrenox MDL
---------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit captioned International Union of
Operating Engineers Local 49 Health and Welfare Fund v. Teva
Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 0:14-cv-01641, was
transferred from the U.S. District Court for the District of
Minnesota to the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut (New Haven).  The Connecticut District Court Clerk
assigned Case No. 3:14-cv-00919-SRU to the proceeding.

The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
transferred the lawsuit for coordinated or consolidated pretrial
proceedings in the multidistrict litigation known as In Re:
Aggrenox Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2516.

The Plaintiff brings the class action on behalf of a class of end-
payors, who since August 14, 2009, indirectly purchased,
reimbursed, or otherwise paid for a drug called Aggrenox, which
combines extended-release dipyridamole with acetylsalicylic acid
(aspirin) to lower the risk of stroke in patients whose blood
clots have caused a transient ischemic attack or stroke.  The
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH
& Co. KG, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, and Boehringer
Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., conspired with certain
manufacturers of generic pharmaceuticals to pay them not to
produce and sell a generic equivalent of Aggrenox.

number:                   SSC 241/242

On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could
produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment.
Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could
allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants,
increasing the risk of injury.  This could also damage the airbag
module, which could prevent proper deployment.  Failure of the
passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment
is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the
seat occupant.

Note: This recall supersedes recall 2013113.  As part of the
previous recall, vehicles were inspected and only select airbag
inflators were replaced.

All vehicles having not received a replacement inflator as part of
the previous recall will now have a replacement inflator installed
by dealers.

UNITED AIRLINES: Judge Tosses EU Flight Compensation Class Action
-----------------------------------------------------------------
David McAfee and Stewart Bishop, writing for Law360, report that
an Illinois federal judge on June 18 threw out a proposed class
action brought against United Airlines Inc. by passengers who
alleged the air carrier violated a European Union law requiring
certain cancelation or delay reimbursements, saying the rules
aren't enforceable in the United States.

U.S. District Judge John J. Tharp Jr. granted a motion to dismiss
the suit, which was filed in 2012 by air travelers saying United
Airlines and United Continental Holdings Inc. broke the law by
failing to compensate certain passengers when EU-based flights
were delayed for three hours or more or were canceled.  The judge
agreed with the defendants that the claim for compensation under
EU Regulation 261/2004 cannot be brought in U.S. courts.

"The question boils down to whether 'the EU intended for EU 261 to
be applied extraterritorially by specifically allowing passengers
to file claims under this regulation in courts outside the EU,'"
Judge Tharp wrote in the five-page order.  "The language of the
regulation answers that question in the negative."

The judge entered judgment in favor of the United defendants and
against the plaintiffs, who accused the companies of failing to
pay them EUR600 ($760) each under EU 261 after their London to
Chicago flight was canceled.  Multiple courts have addressed the
same arguments and reached the same conclusions, Judge Tharp held.

The June 18 ruling terminates with prejudice the lawsuit brought
by named plaintiffs James A. Bergman and Kathleen M. Lynch under
EU 261, which applies to passengers with confirmed reservations on
flights departing from airports in EU member states or arriving on
an EU-licensed airline at an airport in a member state, according
to court documents.

According to the original complaint, the purpose of EU 261 is to
allow for standardized payouts for "serious trouble and
inconvenience" that is suffered by those who experience flight
cancellations or excessive delays, especially on international
carrier routes.

Pursuant to the terms of the EU law, eligible passengers whose
flights are canceled or delayed for more than three hours are due
EUR250 for all flights of 1500 kilometers (932 miles) or less,
EUR400 for all flights within the EU of more than 1,500 kilometers
and for all other flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, and
EUR600 for all other flights, according to the complaint.

However, the airline may reduce the payout by 50 percent if it
offers to reroute passengers on an alternate flight as long as the
arrival time doesn't exceed the originally scheduled arrival time
of the flight by between two and four hours, depending on the
distance of the flight, the complaint said.

Additionally, the airlines don't have to compensate passengers in
the event of extraordinary circumstances, such as when the
cancellation or delay was caused by political instability, adverse
weather, security risks, unexpected flight safety issues or
strikes that affect the operation of an aircraft, the plaintiffs
alleged.

But Judge Tharp tossed the suit on June 18, saying he "joins the
chorus" in holding that a direct claim for compensation under EU
261 cannot brought in the courts of the United States.

"Because this conclusion disposes of the plaintiffs' only claim
for relief, and the lack of cognizability cannot be remedied, it
is not necessary to address the other grounds United advances in
support of its motion," the judge wrote.

"We are pleased with this ruling," a United spokeswoman told
Law360 on June 18.

Plaintiffs and proposed class are represented by Hank Bates of
Carney Bates & Pulliam PLLC, Jennifer W. Sprengel of Cafferty
Clobes Meriwether & Sprengel LLP and Vladimir M. Gorokhovsky of
Gorokhovsky Law Office LLC.

* Number of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits in Pennsylvania Steadies
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Medical malpractice lawsuits in Pennsylvania have steadied and
leveled off over the last 10 years, according to statistics
released on June 20 in the judiciary's new data dashboards.

The data shows 1,546 med mal filings in Pennsylvania's civil
courts in 2013.  That figure was slightly more than the 1,510
filings in 2012.  The latest filings represent a 43.4 percent
decline from the "base years" of 2000-2002.  In Philadelphia, the
state's judicial district with the largest caseload, the decline
has been by slightly more than 68 percent during the same period.

"These numbers reinforce the value of court rules in balancing new
requirements for filing medical malpractice claims with the need
for access and fairness in the state court system," Chief
Justice of Pennsylvania Ronald D. Castille said.  "There has been
real improvement in what was, just a few years ago, one of the
Commonwealth's more vexing challenges."

The base years are the period just prior to two significant rule
changes made by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The first
change required attorneys to obtain -- from an appropriate
medical professional well-versed in the area of alleged
malpractice -- a "certificate of merit" that establishes that the
medical procedures in a case fall outside acceptable standards.  A
second change required medical malpractice actions to be brought
only in the county where the cause of action takes place -- a move
aimed at eliminating so-called "venue shopping."

In comparison to earlier years, 2013 had fewer jury verdicts.  For
the second time in the last three years, there was the fewest
number of jury verdicts in the decade of comprehensive statistics
gathering.  Slightly more than 77 percent of the jury verdicts in
2013 were for the defense.  Two of the five nonjury verdicts in
2013 were for the defense.
