3D SYSTEMS: Three Class Action Lawsuits Consolidated
----------------------------------------------------
3D Systems Corporation and certain of its executive officers have
been named as defendants in three putative stockholder class
action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the
District of South Carolina on June 12, 2015, June 23, 2015 and
August 10, 2015.  The lawsuits are styled City of Bristol Pension
Fund v. 3D Systems Corporation, et al., Case No. 0:15-cv-02393-MGL
(D.S.C.), Joshua Romano v. 3D Systems Corporation, et al., Case
No. 0:15-cv-02518-MGL (D.S.C.) and James Pruitt v. 3D Systems
Corporation, et al., Case No. 0:15-cv-03138-MGL (D.S.C.).

The complaints are substantially identical and allege that
defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder by making false and misleading statements and omissions
and that the officers are control persons under Section 20(a) of
the Exchange Act. The complaints are filed on behalf of
stockholders who purchased shares of the Company's common stock
between October 29, 2013, and October 22, 2014 and seek monetary
damages on behalf of the purported class.

On October 1, 2015, an order consolidating the three lawsuits into
one action (the "Securities Class Action") and appointing a lead
plaintiff was entered in the U.S. District Court for the District
of South Carolina, 3D Systems Corporation said in its Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 4, 2015, for the quarterly period ended September 30,
2015.


ACADIA PHARMACEUTICALS: Court Issued Order Consolidating Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that a court
has issued an order consolidating the actions and naming the lead
plaintiff.

In March 2015, following the Company's announcement of the update
to the timing of its planned New Drug Application ("NDA")
submission to the FDA for NUPLAZID for the treatment of
Parkinson's disease psychosis and the subsequent decline of the
price of its common stock, two putative securities class action
complaints (captioned Rihn v. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc., Case
No. 15-cv-0575-BTM-DHB and Wright v. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
Case No. 15-cv-0593- BTM-DHB) were filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of California, or the Court,
against the Company and certain of its current and former
officers. The complaints generally allege that the defendants
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 by making materially false and misleading statements
regarding the timing of the Company's planned NDA submission to
the FDA for NUPLAZID, thereby artificially inflating the price of
its common stock. The complaints seek unspecified monetary damages
and other relief.

On April 10 and June 1, 2015, the Court entered orders deferring
the defendants' response to the Rihn and Wright complaints until
after the Court appoints a lead plaintiff and assigns lead
counsel.

On May 12, 2015, several putative stockholders filed separate
motions to consolidate the two actions and be appointed lead
plaintiff.

On September 8, 2015, the Court issued an order consolidating the
actions and naming the lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff must
file a consolidated complaint on or before November 16, 2015.

The Company has assessed such legal proceedings, and given the
unpredictability inherent in litigation, the Company cannot
predict the outcome of these matters. At this time, the Company is
unable to estimate possible losses or ranges of losses that may
result from such legal proceedings, and it has not accrued any
amounts in connection with such legal proceedings other than
ongoing attorneys' fees.


ACE LIMITED: MOU Reached to Settle Suit Over Chubb Merger
---------------------------------------------------------
Ace Limited said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2015, that ACE has announced that a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been entered into regarding
settlement of a class action litigation related to The Chubb
Corporation merger.

In connection with the Chubb Merger, purported Chubb shareholders
have filed putative shareholder class action lawsuits against
Chubb, the members of the Chubb board of directors, ACE, and
William Investment Holdings Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ACE. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs seek to enjoin the
Chubb Merger. The outcome of any such litigation is uncertain.

On October 12, 2015, ACE announced that a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) has been entered into regarding settlement of
such litigation. The MOU is subject to confirmatory discovery and
customary conditions and if the court does not approve the
settlement, or if the settlement is otherwise disallowed, the
proposed settlement as contemplated by the MOU may be terminated.

If the cases are not resolved, these lawsuits could prevent or
delay completion of the Chubb Merger and result in substantial
costs to Chubb and ACE, including any costs associated with the
indemnification of directors and officers. Plaintiffs may file
additional lawsuits against Chubb, ACE and/or the directors and
officers of either company in connection with the Chubb Merger.
The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains
unresolved at the time the Chubb Merger is completed may adversely
affect ACE's business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.


ADIR INTERNATIONAL: "Echavarria" Suit Removed to C.D. California
----------------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit entitled Monica Echavarria, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Adir
International, LLC, d/b/a Curacao, Case No. BC596790, was removed
from the Los Angeles County Superior Court to the U.S. District
Court for the Central District of California (Western Division -
Los Angeles). The District Court Clerk assigned Case No. 2:15-cv-
09172-CAS-KS to the proceeding.

The Plaintiff alleges violation of the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act.

Adir International, LLC operates a department store located at
1605 W Olympic Blvd #600, Los Angeles, CA.

AKORN INC: Illinois Court Consolidates 2 Class Actions
------------------------------------------------------
Akorn, Inc. said in an exhibit to its Form 8-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that an Illinois
district court has granted motions to consolidate two class action
cases.

In March 2015, putative class action plaintiff Solomon Yeung filed
suit in the Federal District Court, Northern District of Illinois
against Akorn, Inc., Rajat Rai, Timothy Dick and Bruce Kutinsky,
alleging defendants violated Rules 10b-5 and 20(a) of the 1934
Exchange Act. In May 2015, putative class action plaintiff Mikolaj
Sarzynski filed an additional suit in the same Court, alleging
that, in addition to the claims in the Yeung action, the Company
made false or misleading statements regarding, and failed to
disclose details about, errors it made in calculating chargeback
reserves and understatements of rebates and other sales
allowances, which caused the Company's revenue to be overstated.
In August 2015, the same Court granted motions to consolidate
these two cases.


AMARIN CORPORATION: Amended Complaint Filed in Securities Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
Amarin Corporation plc said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that plaintiffs in the
Amarin Corporation plc, Securities Litigation have filed an
amended complaint.

On June 29, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the District of New
Jersey granted the Company's motion to dismiss the putative
consolidated class action lawsuit captioned In re Amarin
Corporation plc, Securities Litigation, No. 3:13-cv-06663 (D.N.J.
Nov. 1, 2013). The class action was dismissed without prejudice
with leave for plaintiffs to file an amended complaint.

The lawsuit sought unspecified monetary damages and attorneys'
fees and costs alleging that Amarin and certain of its current and
former officers and directors made misstatements and omissions
regarding the FDA's willingness to approve Vascepa's ANCHOR
indication and related contributing factors and the potential
relevance of data from the ongoing REDUCE-IT trial to that
potential approval.

On July 29, 2015, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint alleging
facts similar to those in the original complaint. Like the first
complaint, the amended complaint seeks unspecified monetary
damages and attorneys' fees and costs.

The Company believes it has valid defenses and will continue to
vigorously defend against this lawsuit, but cannot predict the
outcome. The Company has insurance coverage that is anticipated to
cover any significant loss exposure that may arise from this
action.

---------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit titled Silver v. American Airlines Group
Inc. et al., Case No. 1:15-cv-06099, was transferred from the U.S.
District Court for the District of Northern Illinois to the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia (Washington, DC). The
Columbia District Court Clerk assigned Case No. 1:15-cv-01763-CKK

and certain present or former officers and/or directors of the
Company.

On September 29, 2011, the Court appointed LBBW Asset Management
Investmentgesellschaft mbH and SGSS Deutschland
Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH as lead plaintiffs and Motley Rice
LLC as lead counsel. Lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint,
and the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on June
14, 2012.

On September 29, 2014, the Court granted the defendants' motion to
dismiss and also granted the plaintiffs leave to amend their
complaint. On October 24, 2014, plaintiffs filed their second
amended complaint on behalf of a purported class consisting of all
persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of
Avon's common stock from July 31, 2006 through and including
October 26, 2011. The second amended complaint names as defendants
the Company and two individuals and asserts violations of Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on allegedly false or
misleading statements and omissions with respect to, among other
things, the Company's compliance with the FCPA, including the
adequacy of the Company's internal controls. Plaintiffs seek
compensatory damages and declaratory, injunctive, and other
equitable relief.

Defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on
November 21, 2014.

The parties have reached an agreement on a settlement of this
class action. The terms of settlement include releases by members
of the class of claims against the Company and the individual
defendants and payment of $62 million. Under the terms of the
settlement, approximately $60 million of the settlement was paid
by the Company's insurers and approximately $2 million was paid by
the Company (which represents the remaining deductible under the
Company's applicable insurance policies) into escrow.

On August 21, 2015, the court granted preliminary approval of the
settlement and scheduled a hearing on December 1, 2015 to consider
final approval. In the event the settlement is not approved by the
court, or is otherwise terminated before it is finalized, the
Company will be unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
Furthermore, in that event, it is reasonably possible that the
Company may incur a loss in connection with this matter, which the
Company is unable to reasonably estimate.


AVON PRODUCTS: Court Directs Mediation in ERISA Cases
-----------------------------------------------------
Avon Products, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York has directed
parties to pursue non-binding mediation in two ERISA class
actions.

Between December 23, 2014 and March 12, 2015, two purported class
actions were filed in the District Court -- Poovathur v. Avon
Products, Inc., et al. (No. 14-CV-10083) and McCoy et al. v. Avon
Products, Inc., et al. (No. 15-CV-01828) asserting claims under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") against the
Company, the Plan's administrator, benefits board and investment
committee, and certain individuals alleged to have served as Plan
fiduciaries.

On April 8, 2015, the Court consolidated the two actions and
recaptioned the consolidated case as In re 2014 Avon Products,
Inc. ERISA Litigation, (No. 14-CV-10083). On May 8, 2015,
plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint, asserting claims for
alleged breach of fiduciary duty and failure to monitor under
ERISA on behalf of a purported class of participants in and
beneficiaries of the Plan who invested in and/or held shares of
the Avon Common Stock Fund between July 31, 2006 and May 1, 2014
and between December 14, 2011 and the present.  Plaintiffs seek,
inter alia, certain monetary relief, damages, and declaratory,
injunctive and other equitable relief.

On July 9, 2015, Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated
complaint and on August 24, 2015, the Court stayed all pending
motions and discovery and directed the parties to pursue non-
binding mediation. Avon has provided notice of this matter to the
Company's insurers.

"We are unable to predict the outcome of this matter," the Company
said. "However, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a loss
in connection with this matter. We are unable to reasonably
estimate the amount or range of such reasonably possible loss."


AVX CORP: Appeal of One Remaining Aspect of Class Action Resolved
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AVX Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that an appeal of one
remaining aspect of a class action was resolved in September 2015
with no further action against AVX.

On November 27, 2007, a suit was filed in South Carolina State
Court by individuals as a class action with respect to property
adjacent to our Myrtle Beach, South Carolina factory claiming
property values were negatively impacted by alleged migration of
certain pollutants from our property. The parties agreed to a
settlement of the action for $1,200, which was approved by the
Court on December 15, 2014 and paid in January 2015. An appeal of
one remaining aspect of that class action was resolved in
September 2015 with no further action against AVX.


BARCLAYS BANK: Sued in S.D.N.Y. for Reneging Limit Orders

2015) is an action for damages as a result of the Defendants'

BOSTON SCIENTIFIC: 30,000+ Product Liability Cases at Nov. 2
------------------------------------------------------------
Boston Scientific Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that as of
November 2, 2015, there were over 30,000 product liability cases
or claims related to transvaginal surgical mesh products designed
to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse
pending against the Company.

The Company said, "The cases are pending in various federal and
state courts in the United States and include eight putative class
actions. There were also fewer than 20 cases in Canada, inclusive
of four putative class actions, and fewer than 15 claims in the
United Kingdom. Generally, the plaintiffs allege personal injury
associated with use of our transvaginal surgical mesh products.
The plaintiffs assert design and manufacturing claims, failure to
warn, breach of warranty, fraud, violations of state consumer
protection laws and loss of consortium claims."

"Over 3,100 of the cases have been specially assigned to one judge
in state court in Massachusetts. On February 7, 2012, the Judicial
Panel on Multi-District Litigation (MDL) established MDL-2326 in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia
and transferred the federal court transvaginal surgical mesh cases
to MDL-2326 for coordinated pretrial proceedings. During the
fourth quarter of 2013, we received written discovery requests
from certain state attorneys general offices regarding our
transvaginal surgical mesh products. We have responded to those
requests. During April 2015, we entered into an initial master
settlement agreement with certain plaintiffs' counsel to settle
2,970 pending cases and claims, including the case in the District
Court of Dallas County (TX) for which there is a judgment of
approximately $35 million that is currently subject to appeal, for
approximately $119 million. Subsequently, we entered into several
additional master settlement agreements with certain plaintiffs'
counsel. As of November 2, 2015, we have entered into master
settlement agreements to resolve an aggregate of over 6,000 cases
and claims. Each master settlement agreement was entered into
solely by way of compromise and without any admission or
concession by us of any liability or wrongdoing and provides that
the settlement and the distribution of settlement funds to
participating claimants are conditioned upon, among other things,
achieving minimum required claimant participation thresholds. If
the participation thresholds under a master settlement agreement
are not satisfied, we may terminate that agreement. In addition,
we continue to engage in discussions with various plaintiffs'
counsel regarding potential resolution of pending cases and
claims."


CALIFORNIA: "Staich" Suit Should Be Dismissed, Judge Says
---------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman recommends the dismissal of the
case captioned, IVAN VON STAICH, Plaintiff, v. EDMUND G. BROWN, et
al., Defendants, No.: 2:15-cv-0560 MCE KJN P., (E.D. Cal.)

Named as defendants are Governor Brown, Superior Court Judges
Robison, Prickett, King and Hanson. Plaintiff was convicted of
second degree murder in 1986. Plaintiff's claims all challenge
Defendant Brown's 2012 decision reversing the Board of Parole
Hearings (BPH) 2011 finding that Plaintiff was suitable for
parole.

Plaintiff's claims can be divided into four categories:

     -- claims 1-7 and 11 challenge Defendant Brown's reversal
        of the BPH's finding of parole suitability, which was
        upheld by Defendant Superior Court judges. Plaintiff
        alleges that Defendant Brown mischaracterized a 2010
        psychological report. Plaintiff also alleges that
        Defendant Brown improperly relied on stricken juvenile
        records and charges he had been acquitted of as an adult.

     -- claims 8-10 allege that Defendants violated state law by
        refusing to release him based on his maximum confinement
        date.

     -- claim 12 alleges that Defendants selectively enforce
        parole laws.

     -- claim 13 alleges that Proposition 89 violates the Ex Post
        Facto Clause.

Plaintiff seeks declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief:

     -- Plaintiff requests that his stricken juvenile convictions
        and charges he was acquitted of as an adult be stricken
        from his parole hearing files.

     -- Plaintiff requests that the court order that defendant
        Brown be prohibited from considering the 2010
        psychological report.

     -- Plaintiff requests that the court order defendant Brown
        to reconsider the BPH decision finding him suitable based
        on this new record.

     -- Plaintiff requests that the court order defendant Brown
        not to overrule his maximum confinement date of May 11,
        2007.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel.
Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, and has
requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
Section 1915.

In his Order and Findings and Recommendations dated December 11,
2015 available at http://is.gd/mDBV7pfrom Leagle.com, Judge
Newman granted Plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis and motion for judicial notice. Plaintiff is obligated to
pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. Plaintiff
is assessed an initial partial filing fee in accordance with the
provisions of 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(b)(1). All fees shall be
collected and paid in accordance with this court's order to the
Director of the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.

The Court has spent considerable time reviewing Plaintiff's
claims. Because it is clear that Plaintiff cannot amend his
complaint to cure the pleading defects, Judge Newman recommends
that this action be dismissed.

Judge Newman further held that Plaintiff's claims alleging that
Defendant Brown improperly considered certain evidence in
reversing the BPH does not state a potentially colorable due
process claim. Plaintiff does not allege that he was denied the
limited due process to which he was entitled. Therefore,
regardless of whether this claim is brought in habeas or civil
rights, these claims fail. Accordingly, for these reasons, Judge
Newman recommends that claims 1-7 and 11 be dismissed.

The BPH apparently set a release date for plaintiff following its
finding that plaintiff was suitable for parole. However, under
California law, plaintiff was not entitled to be released until he
was found suitable by both the BPH and the Governor. Thus, while
the BPH found plaintiff suitable for parole and set a maximum
release date, plaintiff was not entitled to be released because he
was not found suitable by defendant Brown. Accordingly,
plaintiff's claim that defendants failed to release him on his
maximum calculated release date fails to state a potentially
colorable claim for relief under either state or federal law. This
claim should be dismissed, Judge Newman said.

Judge Newman also noted that Proposition 89 authorized Governor
Brown to review the BPH decision finding plaintiff suitable for
parole, he did not act in the clear absence of all jurisdiction
when he reversed the BPH decision. Similarly, defendant Superior
Court judges did not act in the clear absence of all jurisdictions
when they upheld defendant Brown's decision. For these reasons,
Plaintiff's claims for damages should be dismissed.

CENTURY ALUMINUM: Appeal Pending in Retiree Medical Benefits Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Century Aluminum Company said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that an appeal I
spending related to the Ravenswood Retiree Medical Benefits
changes.

In November 2009, Century Aluminum of West Virginia ("CAWV") filed
a class action complaint for declaratory judgment against the
United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy,
Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union ("USW"),
the USW's local and certain CAWV retirees, individually and as
class representatives, seeking a declaration of CAWV's rights to
modify/terminate retiree medical benefits.  Later in November
2009, the USW and representatives of a retiree class filed a
separate suit against CAWV, Century Aluminum Company, Century
Aluminum Master Welfare Benefit Plan, and various John Does with
respect to the foregoing.  These actions, entitled Dewhurst, et
al. v. Century Aluminum Co., et al., and Century Aluminum of West
Virginia, Inc. v. United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber,
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC, et al., have been consolidated
and venue has been set in the District Court for the Southern
District of West Virginia.

In January 2010, the USW filed a motion for preliminary injunction
to prevent us from implementing any modifications to the retiree
medical benefits while these lawsuits are pending, which was
dismissed by the trial court, and affirmed upon appeal. CAWV filed
a motion for summary judgment of these actions which motion was
granted on September 9, 2015. The decision of the court is
currently being appealed by the USW to the Court of Appeals for
the 4th Circuit.

CHESAPEAKE ENERGY: July 2008 Common Stock Offering Suit Closed
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chesapeake Energy Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the July
2008 Common Stock Offering Litigation is now closed.

On February 25, 2009, a putative class action was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against
the Company and certain of its officers and directors along with
certain underwriters of the Company's July 2008 common stock
offering. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on September
11, 2009 alleging that the registration statement for the offering
contained material misstatements and omissions and seeking damages
under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 of an
unspecified amount and rescission. The action was transferred to
the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma on
October 13, 2009. Chesapeake and the officer and director
defendants moved for summary judgment on grounds of loss causation
and materiality on December 28, 2011, and the motion was granted
as to all claims as a matter of law on March 29, 2013. On appeal,
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the
dismissal on August 8, 2014 and denied the plaintiffs' petition
for rehearing on November 12, 2014. On April 10, 2015, the
plaintiffs filed a writ of certiorari with the United States
Supreme Court, and on October 15, 2015, certiorari was denied and
the case was closed.


CHESAPEAKE ENERGY: Defending Lawsuits by Royalty Owners
-------------------------------------------------------
Chesapeake Energy Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that Chesapeake
is defending numerous lawsuits filed by individual royalty owners
alleging royalty underpayment with respect to properties in Texas.

On April 8, 2015, Chesapeake obtained a transfer order from the
Texas Multidistrict Litigation Panel to transfer a substantial
portion of these lawsuits filed since June 2014 to the 348th
District Court of Tarrant County for pre-trial purposes. These
lawsuits, which primarily relate to the Barnett Shale, generally
allege that Chesapeake underpaid royalties by making improper
deductions and using incorrect production volumes. In addition to
allegations of breach of contract, a number of these lawsuits
allege fraud, conspiracy, joint venture and antitrust violations
by Chesapeake. Chesapeake expects that additional lawsuits will be
filed by new plaintiffs making similar allegations. The lawsuits
seek direct damages in varying amounts, together with exemplary
damages, attorneys' fees, costs and interest. Chesapeake believes
its royalty calculations and payment practices were appropriate
and has not accrued a loss contingency with respect to the
multidistrict litigation.


CLEAN HARBORS: Safety-Kleen Defending 54 Personal Injury Cases
--------------------------------------------------------------
Clean Harbors, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that Safety-Kleen is
named as a defendant in various lawsuits that are pending in
various courts and jurisdictions throughout the United States,
including approximately 54 proceedings (excluding cases which have
been settled but not formally dismissed) as of September 30, 2015,
wherein persons claim personal injury resulting from the use of
Safety-Kleen's parts cleaning equipment or cleaning products.

Safety-Kleen is named as a defendant in various lawsuits that are
currently pending in various courts and jurisdictions throughout
the United States, including approximately 54 proceedings
(excluding cases which have been settled but not formally
dismissed) as of September 30, 2015, wherein persons claim
personal injury resulting from the use of Safety-Kleen's parts
cleaning equipment or cleaning products. These proceedings
typically involve allegations that the solvent used in Safety-
Kleen's parts cleaning equipment contains contaminants and/or that
Safety-Kleen's recycling process does not effectively remove the
contaminants that become entrained in the solvent during their
use. In addition, certain claimants assert that Safety-Kleen
failed to warn adequately the product user of potential risks,
including a historic failure to warn that solvent contains trace
amounts of toxic or hazardous substances such as benzene.

Safety-Kleen maintains insurance that it believes will provide
coverage for these claims (over amounts accrued for self-insured
retentions and deductibles in certain limited cases), except for
punitive damages to the extent not insurable under state law or
excluded from insurance coverage. Safety-Kleen believes that these
claims lack merit and has historically vigorously defended, and
intends to continue to vigorously defend, itself and the safety of
its products against all of these claims. Such matters are subject
to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with
assurance. Consequently, Safety-Kleen is unable to ascertain the
ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial
impact with respect to these matters as of September 30, 2015.
From January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015, 29 product liability
claims were settled or dismissed. Due to the nature of these
claims and the related insurance, the Company did not incur any
expense as Safety-Kleen's insurance provided coverage in full for
all such claims. Safety-Kleen may be named in similar, additional
lawsuits in the future, including claims for which insurance
coverage may not be available.


CLEAN HARBORS: Fee Class Action Settlement Subject to Appeal
------------------------------------------------------------
Clean Harbors, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the settlement in
the Fee Class Action Claims is subject to limited appeal.

In October 2010, two customers filed a complaint, individually and
on behalf of all similarly situated customers in the State of
Alabama, alleging that Safety-Kleen improperly assessed fuel
surcharges and extended area service fees. In 2012, similar
lawsuits were filed by the same law firm in California and
Missouri, adding a claim in the California lawsuit challenging the
Company's late fee policy.

On January 15, 2015, the Company reached a tentative settlement of
the pending class action lawsuits, which were broadened to include
similar claims on behalf of customers in Florida, West Virginia
and Arkansas. A final settlement in the amount of $0.1 million was
approved by the court in a fairness hearing in June 2015.  Such
settlement is subject to limited appeal; however, any adjustment
to the amount would not be material.


CONTINENTAL RESOURCES: Defending Royalties Action in Oklahoma
-------------------------------------------------------------
Continental Resources, Inc. is defending a class action over
royalty payments in Oklahoma.  A mediation had been scheduled for
December 7, 2015, in the case, the Company said in its Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 4, 2015, for the quarterly period ended September 30,
2015.

In November 2010, a putative class action was filed in the
District Court of Blaine County, Oklahoma by Billy J. Strack and
Daniela A. Renner as trustees of certain named trusts and on
behalf of other similarly situated parties against the Company.
The Petition alleged the Company improperly deducted post-
production costs from royalties paid to plaintiffs and other
royalty interest owners from crude oil and natural gas wells
located in Oklahoma. The plaintiffs alleged a number of claims,
including breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty,
unjust enrichment, and other claims and seek recovery of
compensatory damages, interest, punitive damages and attorney fees
on behalf of the proposed class.

On November 3, 2014, plaintiffs filed an Amended Petition that did
not add any substantive claims, but sought a "hybrid class action"
in which they sought certification of certain claims for
injunctive relief, reserving the right to seek a further class
certification on money damages in the future. Plaintiffs filed an
Amended Motion for Class Certification on January 9, 2015, that
modified the proposed class to royalty owners in Oklahoma
production from July 1, 1993, to the present (instead of 1980 to
the present) and sought certification of over 45 separate "issues"
for injunctive or declaratory relief, again, reserving the right
to seek a further class certification of money damages in the
future.

The Company responded to the petition, its amendment, and the
motions for class certification denying the allegations and
raising a number of affirmative defenses and legal arguments to
each of the claims and filings. Certain discovery was undertaken
and the "hybrid" motion was briefed by plaintiffs and the Company.

A hearing on the "hybrid" class certification was held on June 1st
and 2nd, 2015. On June 11, 2015, the trial court certified a
"hybrid" class as requested by plaintiffs. The Company has
appealed the trial court's class certification order, which will
be reviewed de novo by the appellate court. A mediation has been
scheduled for December 7, 2015.

The Company is not currently able to estimate a reasonably
possible loss or range of loss or what impact, if any, the action
will have on its financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows due to the preliminary status of the matter, the
complexity and number of legal and factual issues presented by the
matter and uncertainties with respect to, among other things, the
nature of the claims and defenses, the potential size of the
class, the scope and types of the properties and agreements
involved, the production years involved, and the ultimate
potential outcome of the matter.

Although not currently at issue in the "hybrid" certification,
plaintiffs have alleged underpayments in excess of $200 million
that they may claim as damages, which may increase with the
passage of time, a majority of which would be comprised of
interest. The Company disputes plaintiffs' claims, disputes that
the case meets the requirements for a class action and is
vigorously defending the case. The Company will continue to assert
its defenses to the case as certified as well as any future
attempt to certify a money damages class.


COTY INC: Motion to Dismiss Securities Litigation Pending
---------------------------------------------------------
Coty Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2015, that a motion to dismiss the
Securities Litigation is currently pending.

During fiscal 2014, two putative class action complaints were
filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against the Company, its directors and
certain of its executive officers, and the underwriters of the
initial public offering ("IPO"), alleging violations of the
federal securities laws in connection with the Company's IPO.
Those lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Coty Inc.
Securities Litigation, and following the court's appointment of
lead plaintiffs and lead counsel, a consolidated and amended
complaint (the "Securities Complaint") was filed on July 7, 2014.

The Securities Complaint asserts claims against the Company, its
directors, and certain of its executive officers, under Sections
11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and seeks, on behalf of persons who purchased
the Company's Class A Common Stock in the IPO, damages of an
unspecified amount and equitable or injunctive relief.

On September 9, 2014, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their
claims against the underwriter defendants without prejudice. The
Securities Complaint was further amended on October 18, 2014. The
Company has filed a motion to dismiss the Securities Complaint,
which has been fully briefed since December 2014. The motion to
dismiss is currently pending. The Company believes the Securities
Complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend it.

CUMULUS MEDIA: Defendant in Two Class Actions
---------------------------------------------
Cumulus Media Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the Company is
named as a defendant in two separate putative class action
lawsuits relating to the Company's use and public performance of
certain sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972.

The Company said, "In August 2015, we were named as a defendant in
two separate putative class action lawsuits relating to our use
and public performance of certain sound recordings fixed prior to
February 15, 1972 (the "Pre-1972 Recordings"). The first suit, ABS
Entertainment, Inc., et. al. v, Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in
the United States District Court for the Central District of
California and alleges, among other things, violation of
California rights of publicity, common law conversion,
misappropriation and unfair business practices. The second suit,
ABS Entertainment, Inc., v. Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
and alleges, among other things, common law copyright infringement
and unfair competition. The New York lawsuit has been stayed
pending an appeal before the Second Circuit involving unrelated
third-parties over whether the owner of a Pre-1972 Recording holds
an exclusive right to publicly perform that recording under New
York common law."

"Each suit seeks unspecified damages. We are evaluating each suit,
and intend to defend ourselves vigorously."


DELTA AIRLINES: "Kromar" Suit Transferred to Washington D.C.
------------------------------------------------------------

DRAFTKINGS INC: Rigged Online Games, "Horan" Says in E.D.Mo. Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------

DYNAVAX TECHNOLOGIES: Agreed to Participate in Mediation
--------------------------------------------------------
Dynavax Technologies Corporation and the lead plaintiff in the
securities class action have agreed to participate in mediation,
Dynavax said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 2015.

On June 18, 2013, the first of two substantially similar
securities class action complaints was filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California against the Company
and certain of its former executive officers. The second was filed
on June 26, 2013.

On August 22, 2013, these two complaints and all related actions
that subsequently may be filed in, or transferred to, the District
Court were consolidated into a single case entitled In re Dynavax
Technologies Securities Litigation.

On September 27, 2013, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and
lead counsel. On November 12, 2013, lead plaintiff filed his
consolidated class action complaint (the "consolidated
complaint"), which named a former director of the Company as a
defendant in addition to the Company and the former executive
officers identified in the two prior complaints (collectively, the
"defendants").

The consolidated complaint alleged that between April 26, 2012 and
June 10, 2013, the Company and certain of its executive officers
and directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange
Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, in connection with
statements related to the Company's product, HEPLISAV-B, an
investigational adult hepatitis B vaccine. The consolidated
complaint sought unspecified damages, interest, attorneys' fees,
and other costs.

On January 10, 2014, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
consolidated complaint.

On March 10, 2014, plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to
dismiss the consolidated complaint. The opposition introduced a
new theory of the case, so defendants permitted plaintiffs to
amend their complaint.

On April 7, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated
complaint ("ACC"). The ACC added a new plaintiff and several new
defendants, and alleged that, between April 26, 2012 and June 10,
2013, the Company, certain of its executive officers and
directors, and entities related to certain of its directors,
violated Sections 10(b), 20A, and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder in connection with statements
related to our product candidate, HEPLISAV-B. Specifically, the
ACC alleged that the Company made fraudulent misrepresentations or
omissions regarding the manufacture of HEPLISAV-B and that certain
insiders unlawfully profited from such misrepresentations or
omissions. The ACC sought unspecified damages, interest,
attorneys' fees, and other costs.

On June 6, 2014, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the ACC. On
August 8, 2014, plaintiffs filed their Opposition to that motion.

On September 10, 2014, plaintiffs filed the second amended
complaint ("SAC") to remove or correct erroneous statements
attributed to confidential witnesses. The SAC retains all
allegations asserted in the ACC. On October 10, 2014, defendants
filed a motion to dismiss the SAC. On November 10, 2014,
plaintiffs filed an opposition to the Company's motion to dismiss
the SAC. The Company filed its reply in support of the motion on
December 1, 2014.

A hearing on the motion to dismiss the SAC occurred on February
20, 2015. The Court granted the motion with respect to some of the
alleged misrepresentations and omissions made by the Company or
certain named defendants as well as some of the insider trading
claims against certain insiders and denied the motion to dismiss
with respect to other alleged misrepresentations and omissions and
insider trading claims. The Company filed an answer to the SAC on
April 6, 2015. Dynavax and the lead plaintiff in the securities
class action have agreed to participate in mediation.

incidental, statutory, treble or other multiple, punitive and
consequential damages in violation of the violation of the
Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act 815
ILCS 505/2.

Defendants manufacture, warrant, advertise and sell Bravelle, the
brand name version of the generic drug urofollitropin designed to

that certain lots of the drug did not meet potency specifications.

HILLS BANCORPORATION: Parties Put Iowa Class Action on Hold
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hills Bancorporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the parties in a
class action lawsuit and District Court have put the case on hold
pending a ruling by the Iowa Supreme Court in an appeal filed by
West Bank on a similar issue under dispute in the Hills Bank case.

On April 24, 2014, a suit was filed against the Bank in the Iowa
District Court for Johnson County by a customer alleging that the
fees associated with the Bank's automated overdraft program in
connection with its debit and ATM cards constitute unlawful
interest in violation of Iowa's usury laws and that the collection
of such interest violates the Iowa Debt Collection Practices Act.
The suit seeks class-action status for Bank customers who have
paid overdraft fees arising from debit or ATM card transactions on
their consumer accounts.

The Bank filed a motion to dismiss the case, which the Court
denied. The Bank filed an application for interlocutory appeal to
the Iowa Supreme Court, which the Court denied. The parties and
District Court have put the case on hold pending a ruling by the
Iowa Supreme Court in an appeal filed by West Bank on a similar
issue under dispute in the Hills Bank case.

"At this stage of the proceedings, it is not possible for
management of the Bank to determine the probability of a material
adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential
loss," the Company said.


IMMUNOMEDICS INC: Court Ordered Nasyrova Action Closed
------------------------------------------------------
Immunomedics, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that a court has
ordered the Nasyrova action closed.

A putative class action lawsuit, styled Nasyrova v. Immunomedics,
Inc., was filed on February 27, 2014, in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey. The lawsuit alleged
that the Company and certain of its current and former officers
and directors failed to disclose and/or made material
misstatements in the Company's public filings relating to the
termination of the Nycomed Agreement. In particular, the complaint
alleged that defendants failed to make timely disclosure
concerning a dispute concerning a delay in the development of
veltuzumab. On October 9, 2013, the Company announced that the
Nycomed Agreement was terminated. The complaint alleged violations
of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. On July 15, 2015, the Court granted the motion to dismiss
the second amended complaint with prejudice. The Court's opinion
concluded that the Company had no duty to make the disclosure of
information concerning the agreement at an earlier time and that
there was no misstatement or omission sufficient to support the
claim. The Court ordered this action closed.


INTERNAP CORPORATION: Defendant in "Grisolia" Class Action
----------------------------------------------------------
Internap Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that a purported
stockholder filed on September 18, 2015, a putative class action
complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County of the State of
Georgia against the Company, the current members of the Company's
board of directors and Jefferies Finance LLC ("Jefferies"). The
complaint is captioned Grisolia v. Internap Corp., et al., Case
No. 2015cv265926 (Ga. Sup. Ct.).

The Company said, "The complaint alleges, among other things, that
the members of our board of directors breached their fiduciary
duties, and that Jefferies aided and abetted such breaches, in
connection with the credit agreement described in this filing. The
complaint alleges that the credit agreement contains a so-called
"dead hand proxy put" provision that (a) defines the election of a
majority of directors whose initial nomination arose from an
actual or threatened proxy contest to be an event of default that
triggers the lenders' right to accelerate payment of the debt
outstanding under the credit agreement; and (b) thereby allegedly
coerces stockholders and entrenches the members of the Board of
Directors. The Plaintiff further claims that Jefferies aided and
abetted the alleged breach of fiduciary duties by including the
provisions in the credit agreement and encouraging our board of
directors to accept them. The complaint seeks, among other things,
declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as an award of costs
and disbursements, including attorneys' and experts' fees. During
the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $0.5
million as litigation expense in "General and administrative" in
the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015."

"On October 30, 2015, the Company and our lenders amended the
credit agreement to remove the provision which is the subject of
the litigation. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the
claims asserted in the lawsuit including that the lawsuit is now
moot.  We do not believe that the ultimate costs of this complaint
will be material."

LEGGETT & PLATT: To Pay $35MM in Foam Products Suit This Year
-------------------------------------------------------------
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
Company expects to make the final payment of $35.8 million to
resolve the U.S. direct purchaser class action cases within the
year 2016.

The Company said, "We were named as a defendant in three pending
direct purchaser class action cases (the first on November 15,
2010) on behalf of a class of all direct purchasers of
polyurethane foam products. The direct purchaser class action
cases were all filed in or were transferred to the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Ohio under the name In re:
Polyurethane Foam Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 1:10-MD-2196. The
plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and/or a class of direct
purchasers, seek three times the amount of damages allegedly
suffered as a result of alleged overcharges in the price of
polyurethane foam products from at least 1999 to the present. Each
plaintiff also seeks attorney fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment
interest, court costs, and injunctive relief against future
violations. We filed motions to dismiss the U.S. direct purchaser
class actions, for failure to state a legally valid claim, which
were denied by the Ohio Court."

"A motion for class certification was filed on behalf of the
direct purchasers. A hearing on the motion was held and the Court
certified the direct purchaser class. We filed a Petition for
Permission to Appeal from Class Certification Order to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit which was denied.
The Court ordered all parties to attend non-binding mediation with
a mediator of their choosing."

Settlement of U.S. Direct Purchaser Class Action Cases

"We reached a tentative settlement of the U.S. direct purchaser
class action cases on August 14, 2014, by agreeing to pay an
aggregate amount of $39.8, inclusive of plaintiff attorneys' fees
and costs. We continue to deny all allegations in the cases, but
settled the direct purchaser class cases to avoid the risk,
uncertainty, expense and distraction of litigation. The settlement
was subject to Court approval. We recorded a $39.8 (pre-tax)
accrual for the settlement in the third quarter 2014. In the
fourth quarter of 2014, we paid $4 to the Court related to the
settlement. The deadline for direct purchasers to exclude
themselves from the litigation and settlement classes was January
26, 2015. A final fairness hearing was held on February 3, 2015,
and on February 26, 2015, the Court entered a memorandum opinion
and order granting the motion for final approval of the class
settlement.  Subsequently, final judgments of dismissal with
prejudice were entered on March 13, 2015.  On March 20, 2015, an
objector filed a notice of appeal of the order approving the class
settlement to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.  On March 27,
2015, the direct purchaser class plaintiffs filed a motion to
dismiss or, in the alternative, transfer the appeal. On May 1,
2015, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals denied the motion to
dismiss and transferred the appeal to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. We expect to make the final payment
of $35.8 to resolve this matter within the next year."


LEGGETT & PLATT: Full Settlement in Foam Case Paid into Escrow
--------------------------------------------------------------
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the full
settlement amount in the case, In re: Polyurethane Foam Antitrust
Litigation, Case No. 1:10-MD-2196, was paid into escrow in the
third quarter of 2015.

The Company said, "We were named as a defendant in an indirect
purchaser class consolidated amended complaint filed on March 21,
2011 and were subsequently sued in an indirect purchaser class
action case filed on May 23, 2011, in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Ohio under the name In re: Polyurethane
Foam Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 1:10-MD-2196. The plaintiffs,
on behalf of themselves and/or a class of indirect purchasers,
bring damages claims under various states' antitrust and consumer
protection statutes, and are seeking three times an amount of
damages allegedly suffered as a result of alleged overcharges in
the price of polyurethane foam products from at least 1999 to the
present. Each plaintiff also seeks attorney fees, pre-judgment and
post-judgment interest, court costs, and injunctive relief against
future violations. We filed motions to dismiss the indirect
purchaser class action, for failure to state a legally valid
claim. The Ohio Court denied the motions to dismiss.

"A motion for class certification was filed on behalf of the
indirect purchasers. A hearing on the motion was held and the
Court certified the indirect purchaser class. The deadline for
indirect purchasers to exclude themselves from the litigation was
March 13, 2015.

"We filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal from Class
Certification Order to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit, which was denied. On November 18, 2014, we filed a
Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court, which
was denied on March 2, 2015. The Ohio Court ordered all parties to
attend non-binding mediation with a mediator of their choosing.

Tentative Settlement of U.S. Indirect Purchaser Class Action Cases

"We reached a tentative settlement in the U.S. Indirect Class
Action cases on May 18, 2015, by agreeing to pay an amount not
materially different from the amount previously accrued for this
claim. We continue to deny all allegations in the cases, but
settled the indirect purchaser class cases to avoid the risk,
uncertainty, expense and distraction of litigation. The settlement
is subject to Court approval. The Court preliminarily approved the
class settlement on July 31, 2015. A final fairness hearing [was]
scheduled for December 15, 2015. The full settlement amount was
paid into escrow in the third quarter of 2015. The final
settlement approval hearing [was] scheduled for December 7, 2015."

LEGGETT & PLATT: British Columbia and Quebec Courts Approved Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
British Columbia and Quebec courts have formally approved the
settlement in the Canadian Class Action Cases.

The Company said, "We were named in two Canadian class action
cases (for direct and indirect purchasers of polyurethane foam
products), both under the name Hi Neighbor Floor Covering Co.
Limited and Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company, et.al. in the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Windsor), Court File Nos. CV-
10-15164 (amended November 2, 2011) and CV-11-17279 (issued
December 30, 2011). In each of these Canadian cases, the
plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and/or a class of purchasers,
seek from over 13 defendants restitution of the amount allegedly
overcharged, general and special damages in the amount of $100,
punitive damages of $10, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest,
and the costs of the investigation and the action. The first
issued class action is on behalf of a class of purchasers of
polyurethane foam. The second issued class action is on behalf of
purchasers of carpet underlay. We are not yet required to file our
defenses in these or any other Canadian actions. In addition, on
July 10, 2012, plaintiff in a class action case (for direct and
indirect purchasers of polyurethane foam products) styled Option
Consommateurs and Karine Robillard v. Produits Vitafoam Canada
Limitee, et. al. in the Quebec Superior Court of Justice
(Montreal), Court File No. 500-6-524-104, filed an amended motion
for authorization seeking to add us and other manufacturers of
polyurethane foam products as defendants in this case, which was
granted. This action has a pending motion for certification, which
has been postponed indefinitely. We also were notified in June
2014 of two motions to add us as parties to two class proceedings
in British Columbia. Those proceedings are similar to the Ontario
proceedings in that one proposes a class of purchasers of
polyurethane foam (Majestic Mattress Mfg. Ltd. v. Vitafoam
Products et al., No. VLC-S-S-106362 Vancouver Registry) and one
proposes a class of purchasers of carpet underlay (Trillium
Project Management Ltd. v. Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company
et al., No.S106213 Vancouver Registry). The motion to add us as
parties to these actions was heard on April 7, 2015 and the
British Columbia Supreme Court ordered our addition as parties to
the two actions in British Columbia. The British Columbia actions
involve British Columbia purchasers only whereas the Ontario
actions propose classes of Canadian purchasers."

Tentative Settlement of Canadian Class Action Cases

The Company said, "We reached a tentative settlement in all
Canadian Class Action cases on June 12, 2015 by agreeing to pay an
amount not materially different than the amount previously accrued
for these claims. We continue to deny all allegations in the
cases, but settled all cases (each case being on behalf of both
direct and indirect purchasers) to avoid the risk, uncertainty,
expense and distraction of litigation. We made payment of the
settlement amount into escrow. The settlement required the
approval of courts in three provincial jurisdictions where class
proceedings had been commenced, namely Ontario, British Columbia
and Quebec. The settlement was conditioned on each Court providing
approval. Approval hearings were held in British Columbia on
September 21, 2015, Quebec on October 26, 2015 and Ontario on
October 29, 2015.

"The British Columbia and Quebec courts have formally approved the
settlement. The Ontario court raised no concerns with the
settlement at the approval hearing but it has not yet formally
granted an order approving the settlement. Unless an appeal is
taken from any of the settlement approval orders, the settlement
will be final 30 days following the release of the Ontario order."


LEGGETT & PLATT: Missouri Class Action Case Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
parties in the Missouri Class Action Case have filed a joint
stipulation of dismissal with prejudice and the court entered a
docket text entry that the case was dismissed by parties.

The Company said, "On June 22, 2012, we were made a party to a
lawsuit brought in the 16th Judicial Circuit Court, Jackson
County, Missouri, Case Number 1216-CV15179 under the caption
"Dennis Baker, on Behalf of Himself and all Others Similarly
Situated vs. Leggett & Platt, Incorporated." The plaintiff, on
behalf of himself and/or a class of indirect purchasers of
polyurethane foam products in the State of Missouri, alleged that
we violated the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act based upon
our alleged illegal price inflation of flexible polyurethane foam
products. The plaintiff seeks unspecified actual damages, punitive
damages and the recovery of reasonable attorney fees.

"We filed a motion to dismiss this action, which was denied.
Discovery has commenced and plaintiff has filed a motion for class
certification. A hearing on the motion was held, and the Court
subsequently entered an order denying plaintiff's motion for
class certification on March 18, 2015. Plaintiff filed a motion
for reconsideration of that order on March 30, 2015, which was
also denied. Plaintiff did not timely appeal this ruling. On
September 8, 2015 the parties agreed to settle the case for an
immaterial amount. On October 20, 2015, the parties filed a joint
stipulation of dismissal with prejudice and the court entered a
docket text entry that the case was dismissed by parties."

MCCLATCHY CO: Continues to Defend Misclassification Cases
---------------------------------------------------------
The McClatchy Company continues to defend class suits over alleged
misclassification of carriers, the Company said in its Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 5, 2015, for the quarterly period ended September 27,
2015.

The Company said, "In December 2008, carriers of The Fresno Bee
filed a purported class action lawsuit against us and The Fresno
Bee in the Superior Court of the State of California in Fresno
County captioned Becerra v. The McClatchy Company ("Fresno case")
alleging that the carriers were misclassified as independent
contractors and seeking mileage reimbursement.  In February 2009,
a substantially similar lawsuit, Sawin v. The McClatchy Company,
involving similar allegations was filed by carriers of The
Sacramento Bee ("Sacramento case") in the Superior Court of the
State of California in Sacramento County."

Both courts have certified the class in these cases.  The class
consists of roughly 5,000 carriers in the Sacramento case and
3,500 carriers in the Fresno case.  The plaintiffs in both cases
are seeking unspecified damages for mileage reimbursement.  With
respect to the Sacramento case, in September 2013, all wage and
hour claims were dismissed and the only remaining claim is an
equitable claim for mileage reimbursement under the California
Civil Code.

In the Fresno case, in March 2014, all wage and hour claims were
dismissed and the only remaining claim is an equitable claim for
mileage reimbursement under the California Civil Code.

The court in the Sacramento case has trifurcated the trial into
three separate phases:  the first phase addressed independent
contractor status, the second phase will address liability, if
any, and the third phase will address damages, if any.

On September 22, 2014, the court in the Sacramento case issued a
tentative decision following the first phase, finding that the
carriers that contracted directly with The Sacramento Bee during
the period from February 2005 to July 2009 were misclassified as
independent contractors.

"We objected to the tentative decision but the court ultimately
adopted it as final, the Company said. "The court has not yet
established a date for the second and third phases of trial
concerning whether The Sacramento Bee is liable to the carriers in
the class for mileage reimbursement or owes any damages."

The court in the Fresno case has bifurcated the trial into two
separate phases: the first phase will address independent
contractor status and liability for mileage reimbursement and the
second phase will address damages, if any.  The first phase of the
Fresno case began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and
concluded in late March 2015. The parties are awaiting a ruling on
the first phase.

"We are defending these actions vigorously and expect that we will
ultimately prevail," the Company said.  "As a result, we have not
established a reserve in connection with the cases.  While we
believe that a material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows from these

POWERSECURE INTERNATIONAL: To Seek Dismissal of 2nd Amended Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Powersecure International, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
Company intends to file a motion to dismiss the second amended
complaint in a class action lawsuit.

The Company said, "On May 22, 2014, a putative securities class
action lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our executive
officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina. Subsequently, in May and in July 2014,
two additional purported securities class action lawsuits were
filed against the same defendants in the United States District
Courts, one in the Eastern District of North Carolina and the
other in the Western District of North Carolina. On October 10,
2014, these lawsuits were consolidated in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and a
lead plaintiff was appointed. As consolidated, the lawsuit was
filed on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased our
common stock during a purported class period from August 8, 2013
through May 7, 2014, which is the longer of the two different
purported class periods used in the pre-consolidation lawsuits. A
consolidated amended complaint was filed on December 29, 2014. The
action alleges that certain statements made by the defendants
during the class period violated federal securities laws and seeks
damages in an unspecified amount.

"We filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on February
26, 2015, which the court granted on September 15, 2015, with
leave for the plaintiff to file a second amended complaint. On
October 16, 2015, the plaintiff filed a second amended
consolidated class action complaint, with similar allegations over
the same class period. We intend to file a motion to dismiss the
second amended complaint. We cannot provide any assurance as to
when the court will rule on a motion to dismiss or whether that
motion will be granted. We believe that the claims asserted in
this class action litigation are without merit, and we intend to
vigorously defend against all such allegations."

RENTRAK CORPORATION: Consolidation of Class Action Sought
---------------------------------------------------------
Rentrak Corporation said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that plaintiffs' motion
to consolidate the class action lawsuits is pending.

Since the public announcement of the merger on September 29, 2015,
four putative shareholder class action lawsuits have been filed
against Rentrak, its directors, comScore and Rum Acquisition
Corporation in connection with Rentrak and comScore entering into
the merger agreement. The four actions were filed in Multnomah
County Circuit Court in the State of Oregon: (1) Nathan v. Rentrak
Corporation, et al., No. 15CV27429, filed on October 9, 2015; (2)
Blum v. Rentrak Corporation, et al., No. 15CV27443, also filed on
October 9, 2015; (3) Stein v. Rentrak Corporation, et al., No.
15CV27520, filed on October 12, 2015; and (4) Sikorski v. Rentrak
Corporation, et al., No. 15CV27932, filed on October 14, 2015.

Each of the lawsuits was filed on behalf of a putative class of
Rentrak shareholders against Rentrak, the individual members of
Rentrak's board of directors, and/or comScore and/or Rum
Acquisition Corporation (the Nathan action does not name comScore
or Rum Acquisition Corporation as defendants). The lawsuits allege
variously that the individual members of Rentrak's board of
directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to Rentrak's
shareholders by approving the proposed merger for inadequate
consideration; approving the merger to obtain unique benefits not
shared equally with other Rentrak shareholders; failing to take
steps to maximize the value paid to Rentrak shareholders; failing
to take steps to ensure a fair process leading up to the proposed
merger; agreeing to preclusive deal protection devices in the
merger agreement; and failing to ensure that no conflicts exist
between individual directors' own interests and their fiduciary
obligations to Rentrak's shareholders.

The Blum, Stein and Sikorski lawsuits also state claims against
comScore and/or Rum Acquisition Corporation for aiding and
abetting these alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.  The
plaintiffs in each of the lawsuits generally seek, among other
things, declaratory and injunctive relief concerning the alleged
breaches of fiduciary duties, injunctive relief prohibiting
completion of the mergers, rescission of the merger if it is
completed, an accounting by defendants, rescissionary damages,
attorney's fees and costs, and other relief.

On October 22, 2015, in the Nathan lawsuit, plaintiffs filed a
motion to consolidate the lawsuits and appoint Nathan as the lead
plaintiff and Nathan's counsel as lead counsel, and that motion is
supported by the plaintiff's counsel in the Blum, Stein and
Sikorski lawsuits.  This motion is pending with the court. Rentrak
and its directors believe the lawsuits to be without merit and
intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

SCHEELS ALL SPORTS: Event USA's Motion to Compel Discovery Denied
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge James D. Petersen denied Defendant Event USA
Corp.'s motion to compel discovery in the captioned case SCOTT
BOEHM and DAVID STLUKA, Plaintiffs, v. SCHEELS ALL SPORTS, INC.,
NICHOLAS MARTIN, SPORTS-4-LESS, LUKE WEIN, BEYOND STUDIO +
PUBLISHING, LLC, JOHN DOE 1, SCOOTER G. SPORTS, MICHAEL LOVELACE,

THOMASON, WAUKESHA SPORTSCARDS, ROBB DOBRATZ, and MICHAEL CLEARY,
Defendants, STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY, Intervenor,
SCOTT'S BREWERY COLLECTIBLES and SCOTT SVEHLA, Third-Party
Plaintiffs, v. WEST BEND MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Third-Party
Defendant, No.: 15-cv-379-jdp, (W.D. Wis.)

Plaintiffs filed a set of sharp-toned motions in which they accuse
some defendants of violating the court's injunction order.
Defendant Event USA Corp. also accused plaintiffs of discovery
abuse. Event USA filed a discovery motion. Event USA later moved
to amend its pleadings to add a crossclaim against defendant David
Thomason and to file a third-party complaint against Dan Zimprich
and Legends of the Field, LLC.

Plaintiffs moved to sanction defendants Angela Cleary, Michael
Cleary, Gameday Sports, and Nicholas Martin for violating a
preliminary injunction order and for making misrepresentations to
the court. Plaintiffs asked for both civil and criminal sanctions
for contempt. They requested that the court impose monetary fines,
shift their attorney fees, expand the terms of the injunction, and
enter directed verdicts or judgments of willfulness.

In his Opinion and Order dated December 11, 2015 available at
http://is.gd/X1vFAZfrom Leagle.com, Judge Peterson denied Event
USA Corp.'s motion to compel discovery.  The Court also denied the
Plaintiffs Scott Boehm and David Stluka's motion for an extension
of time to respond to Event USA's motion to compel, for being
moot. Event USA's motion to amend its pleadings is granted in part
and denied in part.  Event USA may file as a new docket entry an
amended pleading including a crossclaim against defendant David
Thomason.

The Court granted the Nicholas Martin's motion to file a sur-
reply. Moreover, the Court granted in part Plaintiffs' motion for
sanctions against defendants Angela Cleary, Michael Cleary, and
Gameday Sports. It also granted in part the Plaintiffs' motion for
sanctions against Defendant Nicholas Martin. The Court granted the
Plaintiffs' motion for sanctions against Event USA Corp.

Plaintiffs were required to file documentation supporting the
attorney fees that they incurred in bringing these three sanctions
motions by January 4, 2016. Any opposition or response to the
amount of fees is due by January 11, 2016.

According to the Court, the evidence that Plaintiffs will use to
calculate their damages will have to come from defendants, so
demanding Plaintiffs' preliminary damages calculations at this
point seems like a make-work exercise. But discovery should move
promptly, and then Plaintiffs will be expected to put a number on
it.

The court will leave it to counsel for plaintiffs and Event USA to
work out their discovery differences. If actual good faith
attempts to resolve the issues fail, the court will then be ready
to entertain a motion. Event USA has moved to amend its pleadings
to add a crossclaim against defendant David Thomason and to file a
third-party complaint against Dan Zimprich and Legends of the
Field, LLC. The motion will be granted with respect to the
crossclaim against Thomason, who is already a party to this case.
But the motion will be denied with respect to the third-party
complaint. The progress of this case has not been smooth, and
adding additional parties risks disrupting the schedule.
Plaintiffs propose no coercive sanction, and none appears
necessary.

According to the Court, the Sanctioned Defendants appear to have
been chastened by plaintiffs' motions and they all appear now to
be in compliance. As for remedial sanctions, plaintiffs propose
only an award of attorney fees, leaving any other sanctions to the
discretion of the court. Sanctioned Defendants will be ordered to
pay a portion of plaintiffs' reasonable actual attorney fees
incurred in bringing the contempt motions. The Sanctioned
Defendants will be considered to be in three groups, and each
group will pay one-third of the fee award. To recover any of their
fees, plaintiffs must adhere to the court's guidance regarding fee
requests. Plaintiffs should not assume that the court will award
the full amount of their fees. The court will be prepared to
reduce the fees in light of inefficiencies, redundancies, or
unnecessary or excessive submissions. The parties are encouraged
to reach agreement as to the fees award, which would spare the
parties and the court the effort and expense of litigating the
amount.

SOVRAN SELF: Motion to Dismiss Granted in Part and Denied in Part
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sovran Self Storage, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the Company's
motion to dismiss a class action lawsuit has been granted in part
and denied in part.

On or about August 25, 2014, a putative class action was filed
against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law
Division Burlington County. The action seeks to obtain
declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief for a class of
consumers based upon alleged violations by the Company of the New
Jersey Truth in Customer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act, the
New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and the New Jersey Insurance
Producer Licensing Act.

On October 17, 2014, the action was removed from the Superior
Court of New Jersey Law Division Burlington County to the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

The Company brought a motion to partially dismiss the complaint
for failure to state a claim, and on July 16, 2015, the Company's
motion was granted in part and denied in part. The Company intends
to vigorously defend the action, and the possibility of any
adverse outcome cannot be determined at this time.


STAAR SURGICAL: Seeks to Dismiss Amended Complaint in "Todd" Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Staar Surgical Company said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended October 2, 2015, that the Company has filed
a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the case, Todd v.
STAAR.

On July 8, 2014, a putative securities class action lawsuit was
filed by Edward Todd against STAAR and three officers in the
federal court located in Los Angeles, California. The plaintiff
claims that STAAR made misleading statements to and omitted
material information from our investors between February 27, 2013
and June 30, 2014 about alleged regulatory violations at STAAR's
Monrovia manufacturing facility.

On October 20, 2014, plaintiff amended its complaint, dismissed
two Company officers, added one other officer, and reduced the
alleged Class Period to November 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.

Although the ultimate outcome of this action cannot be determined
with certainty, the Company believes that the allegations in the
Complaint are without merit. The Company intends to vigorously
defend against this lawsuit.

On September 21, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint. The Company has not recorded any loss or
accrual in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements at October 2, 2015 and January 2, 2015 for this matter
as the likelihood and amount of loss, if any, has not been
determined and is not currently estimable.


STERLING BANCORP: Class Action Settlement Awaits Court Approval
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sterling Bancorp said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that a class action
settlement is subject to approval by the court.

On November 25, 2014, an action captioned Graner v. Hudson Valley
Holding Corp., et al., Index No. 70348/2014 (Sup. Ct., Westchester
Cnty.), was filed on behalf of a putative class of HVHC
shareholders against HVHC, its current directors, and Sterling.

On January 7, 2015, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. As
amended, the complaint alleges that the HVHC board of directors
breached its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the HVB Merger and
certain terms of the HVB Merger agreement and by failing to
disclose all material information concerning the HVB Merger to the
HVHC shareholders. The complaint further alleges that Sterling
aided and abetted those alleged fiduciary breaches. The action
sought, among other things, an order enjoining the operation of
certain provisions of the HVB Merger agreement, enjoining any
shareholder vote on the HVB Merger, as well as other equitable
relief and/or monetary damages in the event that the HVB Merger is
consummated.

On April 9, 2015, the parties entered into a memorandum of
understanding (the "MOU") regarding the settlement of the putative
class action. Under the terms of the MOU, the Company, HVHC, the
other named defendants and the plaintiff reached an agreement in
principle to settle the action. Pursuant to the terms of the MOU,
the plaintiff agreed to release the defendants from all claims
relating to the HVB Merger in exchange for certain additional
disclosure to the HVHC shareholders, which disclosure was made on
April 13, 2015 by HVHC via a filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. Under the terms of the MOU,
plaintiff's counsel also has reserved the right to seek an award
of attorneys' fees and expenses.

The settlement is subject to approval by the Court, and, if the
Court approves the settlement contemplated by the MOU, the action
will be dismissed with prejudice. The settlement will not affect
the merger consideration paid to HVHC's shareholders pursuant to,
and subject to the HVB Merger agreement. The HVB Merger agreement
and the HVB Merger were approved by the Company's stockholders at
a special meeting held on April 28, 2015 and by HVHC's
shareholders at a special meeting held on April 30, 2015.

The Company, HVHC and the other defendants deny all of the
allegations made by the plaintiff. Nevertheless, the Company, HVHC
and the other defendants have agreed to settle the action in order
to avoid the costs, disruption and distraction of further
litigation.


STRATEGIC HOTELS: Eight Putative Class Action Lawsuits Filed
------------------------------------------------------------
Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5,
2015, for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that
between September 10, 2015 and November 4, 2015, eight putative
class action lawsuits purportedly on behalf of holders of SHR
common stock were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City,
Maryland against members of SHR's board of directors, as well as
the Buyer Parties in connection with merger agreements.  Certain
of the lawsuits also name SH Funding, Blackstone, BRE Partnership
VIII and/or SHR as defendants. One lawsuit also purports to bring
a derivative claim on behalf of SHR.

The lawsuits generally allege that members of SHR's board of
directors breached their fiduciary duties to holders of SHR common
stock by, among other things:  (i) failing to undertake an
adequate sales process; (ii) failing to maximize stockholder value
and agreeing to a sales price that undervalues SHR; (iii)
implementing preclusive or coercive deal protection devices; (iv)
engaging in self-dealing and failing to act in the best interests
of holders of SHR common stock; and (v) failing to act with good
faith, due care and loyalty.  The lawsuits also allege that SHR,
SH Funding, and/or certain of the Buyer Parties aided and abetted
the members of SHR's board of directors in allegedly breaching
their fiduciary duties.  The lawsuits seek, among other things,
declaration of the action as a proper class action, equitable
relief that would enjoin the consummation of the Mergers,
rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger
Agreement and the terms thereof and fees and costs associated with
the litigation.

On October 26, 2015, the defendants filed an Unopposed Motion to
Consolidate Actions and Designate the Consolidated Action to the
Business and Technology Case Management Program and to Stay
Defendants' Obligation to Answer or Otherwise Plead.  Also on
October 26, 2015, certain plaintiffs filed a Motion for
Consolidation and Appointment of Interim Co-Lead Counsel and
Interim Liaison Counsel, and a certain plaintiff also filed a
Motion for Expedited Discovery as well as a First Amended Class
Action Complaint ("Amended Complaint").  The Amended Complaint
includes the same claims set forth in the initial complaint and
includes additional allegations for breach of fiduciary duty with
respect to the definitive proxy statement that SHR filed with the
SEC on October 20, 2015.  On October 28, 2015, the court issued an
order which, inter alia, consolidated the eight pending actions
under the caption In re Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Incorporated
Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 24-C-15-004668.

TIMBERTECH LTD: Defendant's Partial Motion to Dismiss Denied
------------------------------------------------------------
Chief District Judge Jerome B. Simandle denied Defendant CPG
International LLC's partial motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' amended
class action complaint in the captioned case JOHN M. PERUTO, et
al., Plaintiff, v. TIMBERTECH LTD, et al., Defendant, Civil Action
No.: 15-2166 (JBS/JS), (D. N.J.)

Plaintiffs John M. Peruto and Lori A. Peruto began purchasing and
installing TimberTech's XLM decking product line for their second
home in Margate, New Jersey in May 2012. Plaintiffs filed a
putative class action Complaint on February 11, 2015 against
TimberTech Ltd. (TimberTech) and CPG International LLC (CPG) in
the Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County, Law Division.
Plaintiffs allege that Defendant marketed XLM decking as a high-
quality, low-maintenance, and long-lasting alternative to
traditional wooden decking materials, but that XLM decking is
prone to discoloration and fading soon after installation.
Plaintiffs asserted claims for breach of implied warranty, breach
of express warranty, unjust enrichment, negligent
misrepresentation, violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act
(NJCFA), and declaratory and injunctive relief.

On March 25, 2015, Defendant removed this action to the District
of New Jersey pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sections 1332(d), 1446, 1453
and the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005.

Defendant previously filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs'
complaint in its entirety. In their opposition to that motion,
Plaintiffs agreed to withdraw their breach of implied warranty and
unjust enrichment claims.

The Court dismissed Plaintiffs' breach of express warranty claim
based on the Limited Warranty, Plaintiffs' negligent
misrepresentation claim based on an omission, and Plaintiffs'
NJCFA claim without prejudice to Plaintiffs' right to file an
amended complaint curing deficiencies.  In particular, the Court
found that Plaintiffs' NJCFA claim failed to adequately allege an
ascertainable loss.  Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on
September 16, 2015.

Defendant again moved to dismiss Plaintiffs' amended NJCFA claim.
Defendant argues that although Plaintiffs have amended their
complaint to adequately allege an ascertainable loss, they still
have demonstrated neither unlawful conduct by CPG nor causation.

In his Memorandum Opinion dated December 10, 2015 available at
http://is.gd/bsDFvTfrom Leagle.com, Judge Simandle denied
Defendant CPG's partial motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' amended
class action complaint. Defendant does not seek to dismiss
Plaintiffs' NJCFA claim on an affirmative misrepresentation
theory; even disregarding the marketing statements this Court
previously found to be mere puffery, the Amended Complaint
undeniably describes assurances of fact on which Plaintiffs and
their contractor could have reasonably relied. Rather, Defendant
argues that Plaintiffs' NJCFA claim should be dismissed "to the
extent Plaintiffs seek to proceed on an omission theory" because
they have not shown with enough particularity "that the defendant
acted with knowledge." Plaintiffs are correct that the Rule
permits intent and knowledge to be alleged generally. Plaintiffs
may not rest upon conclusory statements to generally allege
knowledge and intent any more than they can for any other element
of a claim under Ashcroft v. Iqbal. "Even under a relaxed
application of Rule 9(b), boilerplate and conclusory allegations
will not suffice."

The amended complaint alleges plausible grounds for knowledge and
intent to omit accurate information about the product's
shortcomings, based upon their receiving reports of defects and
failures of the product's essential characteristics. One can
readily infer that the Plaintiffs allege that Defendant received
reports of premature wear and discoloration in this product, and
that Plaintiffs' decking suffered from the same deficiency, and
yet Defendant continued to sell the product without improving it,
while maintaining silence about the deficiencies that were
contradicted by its sales materials touting their resistance to
fading and wear. Plaintiffs have thus adequately alleged a claim
under the NJCFA under an affirmative misrepresentation theory. The
Amended Complaint identifies actionable unlawful conduct, an
ascertainable loss, and causation. The Court will deny Defendant's
motion to dismiss to the extent it seeks to dismiss Plaintiffs'
NJCFA claim under an affirmative misrepresentation theory.

VIVUS INC: Oral Argument Set for January 14 in Jasin Complaint
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vivus, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2015, that briefing will conclude in
late 2015, and oral argument is set for January 14, 2016, in the
complaint filed by Mary Jane and Thomas Jasin.

On March 27, 2014, Mary Jane and Thomas Jasin, who purport to be
purchasers of VIVUS common stock, filed an Amended Complaint in
Santa Clara County Superior Court alleging securities fraud
against the Company and three of its former officers and
directors. In that complaint, captioned Jasin v. VIVUS, Inc., Case
No. 114-cv-261427, plaintiffs asserted claims under California's
securities and consumer protection securities statutes. Plaintiffs
alleged generally that defendants misrepresented the prospects for
the Company's success, including with respect to the launch of
Qsymia, while purportedly selling VIVUS stock for personal profit.
Plaintiffs alleged losses of "at least" $2.8 million, and sought
damages and other relief.

On June 5, 2014, the Company and the other defendants filed a
demurrer to the Amended Complaint seeking its dismissal.

With the demurrer pending, on July 18, 2014, the same plaintiffs
filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, in an action captioned Jasin v.
VIVUS, Inc., Case No. 5:14-cv-03263. The Jasins' federal complaint
alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on facts substantially
similar to those alleged in their state court action.

On September 15, 2014, pursuant to an agreement between the
parties, plaintiffs moved to voluntarily dismiss, with prejudice,
the state court action. In the federal action, defendants filed a
motion to dismiss on November 12, 2014.

On December 3, 2014, plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint in
the federal action. On January 21, 2015, defendants filed a motion
to dismiss the First Amended Complaint.

By Order dated June 18, 2015, the Court granted defendants' motion
to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, but granted plaintiffs
leave to amend their pleading. Plaintiffs filed their Second
Amended Complaint on August 14, 2015, and defendants moved to
dismiss on October 2, 2015.  Briefing will conclude in late 2015,
and oral argument is set for January 14, 2016.

The Company and the defendant former officers and directors cannot
predict the outcome of the motion to dismiss or the lawsuit
generally, but believe that the lawsuit is without merit and
intend to continue vigorously to defend against the claims.

The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
that it believes affords coverage for much of the anticipa

VOLKSWAGEN GROUP: "Walther" Suit Alleges Emission Test Cheating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cassie Walther, individually, and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Volkswagen Group of America,
Inc., and Volkswagen AG, Defendants, Case No. Case 1:15-cv-06243
(E.D.N.Y., October 10, 2015), seeks equitable relief, including an
order enjoining Volkswagen from further sales and lease of
vehicles containing the alleged defeat device, demanding repair
the affected vehicles, compensatory, exemplary, punitive and
statutory damages including interest, disgorgement all or part of
the ill-gotten profits received from the sale or lease of the
affected vehicles, return of the purchase price of the affected
vehicles with interest from the time it was paid, reimbursement of
the reasonable expenses occasioned by the sale and for reasonable
attorney fees in accordance to the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-
7671q and in violation of New York General Business Law 349.

The class action complaint arises out of an installed component in
the Turbocharged Direct Injection variants of the light passenger
vehicles made by the said car companies called a defeat device
that allegedly turns on the emission controls during mandated
testing but turns it off during regular operations thus rendering
it non-compliant to emission standards set by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources
Board.

Plaintiff purchased a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Diesel.

W. P. CAREY: Case by Ira Gaines Has Been Dismissed
--------------------------------------------------
W. P. Carey Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the case by Ira
Gaines has been dismissed.

The Company said, "On December 31, 2013, Mr. Ira Gaines and
entities affiliated with him commenced a purported class action
(Ira Gaines, et al. v. Corporate Property Associates 16 - Global
Incorporated, Index. No. 650001/2014, N.Y. Sup. Ct., N.Y. County)
against us, WPC REIT Merger Sub Inc., CPA(R):16 - Global, and the
directors of CPA(R):16 - Global regarding the CPA(R):16 Merger."

"On April 11, 2014, we and the other defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the complaint, as amended, in its entirety, and on October
15, 2014, the judge granted that motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs
filed a Notice of Appeal on November 24, 2014 and had until August
24, 2015 to file that appeal. On August 21, 2015, plaintiffs
withdrew with prejudice their Notice of Appeal. As a result, the
decision that the trial court rendered in our favor on October 15,
2014 is now final, and the case has been dismissed."


WALTER INVESTMENT: Defendants Opposed Class Certification Motion
----------------------------------------------------------------
Walter Investment Management Corp. said in its Form 10-Q Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5,
2015, for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
defendants have filed their opposition to the Plaintiffs' motion
for class certification.

On March 7, 2014, a putative shareholder class action complaint
was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida against the Company, Mark O'Brien, Charles
Cauthen, Denmar Dixon, Marc Helm and Robert Yeary captioned Beck
v. Walter Investment Management Corp., et al., No. 1:14-cv-20880
(S.D. Fla.). On July 7, 2014, an amended class action complaint
was filed. The amended complaint named as defendants the Company,
Mark O'Brien, Charles Cauthen, Denmar Dixon, Keith Anderson, Brian
Corey and Mark Helm, and is captioned Thorpe, et al. v. Walter
Investment Management Corp., et al. No. 1:14-cv-20880-UU. The
amended complaint asserted federal securities law claims against
the Company and the individual defendants under Section 10(b) of
the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Additional
claims are asserted against the individual defendants under
Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

On December 23, 2014, the court granted the defendants' motions to
dismiss and dismissed the amended complaint without prejudice.

On January 6, 2015, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint.
The second amended complaint asserted the same legal claims and
alleged that between May 9, 2012 and August 11, 2014 the Company
and the individual defendants made material misstatements or
omissions relating to the Company's internal controls over
financial reporting, the processes and procedures for compliance
with applicable regulatory and legal requirements by Ditech
Financial, the liabilities associated with the Company's
acquisition of RMS, and RMS's internal controls. The complaint
sought class certification and an unspecified amount of damages on
behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's securities
between May 9, 2012 and August 11, 2014.

On January 23, 2015, all defendants moved to dismiss the second
amended complaint. On June 30, 2015, the court issued a decision
that granted the motions to dismiss in part and denied the motions
in part. Among other things, the court dismissed the claims
against Messrs. O'Brien, Cauthen, Dixon and Helm and the claims
relating to statements about the Company's acquisition of RMS.

On July 10, 2015, plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that,
among other things, added certain allegations concerning the
Company's settlement with the FTC and CFPB.

On July 24, 2015, the Company and Messrs. Anderson and Corey filed
an answer to the third amended complaint, which denied the
substantive allegations and asserted various defenses.

On August 30, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a motion for class
certification. On October 30, 2015, the defendants filed their
opposition to that motion.

The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the outcome of the
putative shareholder class action or that such an outcome will not
have a material adverse effect on its reputation, business,
prospects, results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition.


WALTER INVESTMENT: Ditech Financial Facing Putative Class Suits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Walter Investment Management Corp. said in its Form 10-Q Report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5,
2015, for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that
Ditech Financial is subject to several putative class action
lawsuits related to lender-placed insurance. These actions allege
that Ditech Financial and its affiliates improperly received
benefits from lender-placed insurance providers in the form of
commissions for work not performed, services provided at a reduced
cost, and expense reimbursements that did not reflect the actual
cost of the services rendered. Plaintiffs in these suits assert
various theories of recovery and seek remedies including
compensatory, actual, punitive, statutory and treble damages,
return of unjust benefits, and injunctive relief.

One such matter is Circeo-Loudon v. Green Tree Servicing, LLC et
al. filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida on April 17, 2014 and amended on October 16,
2014. Pursuant to a settlement agreement reached between the
parties in the Circeo-Loudon matter on September 11, 2015, which
remains subject to court approval, all of the defendants
collectively, including Ditech Financial, are required to pay
damages to class members who timely file a claim, administrative
costs to effectuate the settlement and attorneys' fees and costs.

The Company believes it has accrued the full amount expected to be
paid under the settlement agreement in its consolidated financial
statements as of September 30, 2015. The settlement agreement also
provides that Ditech Financial and its subsidiary, Green Tree
Insurance Agency, Inc., and their affiliates will be released from
certain claims and may no longer receive commissions on the
placement of certain lender-placed insurance for a period of five
years commencing 120 days from the effective date of the
settlement.

The Company expects that this settlement, if approved by the
court, will lead to the ultimate resolution of the other putative
class action lawsuits related to lender-placed insurance to which
Ditech Financial is currently subject, although the proposed
settlement does not apply to potential claims by class members who
opt out of the proposed settlement.


WATTS WATER: Filed Bid to Dismiss "Ponzo" Connector Class Action
----------------------------------------------------------------
Watts Water Technologies, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
Company has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in the case,
Ponzo v. Watts Regulator Co.

In November and December 2014, Watts Water Technologies, Inc. and
Watts Regulator Co. were named as defendants in three separate
putative nationwide class action complaints (Meyers v. Watts Water
Technologies, Inc., United States District Court for the Southern
District of Ohio; Ponzo v. Watts Regulator Co., United States
District Court for the District of Massachusetts; Sharp v. Watts
Regulator Co., United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts) seeking to recover damages and other relief based
on the alleged failure of water heater connectors.  On June 26,
2015, plaintiffs in the three actions filed a consolidated amended
complaint, under the case captioned Ponzo v. Watts Regulator Co.,
in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts. The complaint seeks among other items, damages in
an unspecified amount, replacement costs, injunctive relief,
declaratory relief, and attorneys' fees and costs.  On August 7,
2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.


WATTS WATER: Filed Partial Bid to Dismiss "Klug" Connector Case
---------------------------------------------------------------
Watts Water Technologies, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015,
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that the
Company has filed a partial motion to dismiss the complaint, Klug
v. Watts Water Technologies, Inc., et al.

In February 2015, Watts Regulator Co. was named as a defendant in
a putative nationwide class action complaint (Klug v. Watts Water
Technologies, Inc., et  al., United States District Court for the
District of Nebraska) seeking to recover damages and other relief
based on the alleged failure of the Company's Floodsafe
connectors.

On June 26, 2015, the Company filed a partial motion to dismiss
the complaint.  In response, on July 17, 2015, plaintiff filed an
amended complaint, Klug v. Watts Regulator Co., United States
District Court for the District of Nebraska. The complaint seeks
among other items, damages in an unspecified amount, injunctive
relief, declaratory relief, and attorneys' fees and costs.  On
July 31, 2015, the Company filed a partial motion to dismiss the
complaint.


WELLS FARGO: Merchants Filed Motion to Vacate Class Settlement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo & Company said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2015, for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, that several merchants
have now filed a motion to vacate the class settlement in the
Interchange Litigation.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo & Company, Wachovia Bank, N.A.
and Wachovia Corporation are named as defendants, separately or in
combination, in putative class actions filed on behalf of a
plaintiff class of merchants and in individual actions brought by
individual merchants with regard to the interchange fees
associated with Visa and MasterCard payment card transactions.
These actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of New York. Visa, MasterCard and several
banks and bank holding companies are named as defendants in
various of these actions. The amended and consolidated complaint
asserts claims against defendants based on alleged violations of
federal and state antitrust laws and seeks damages, as well as
injunctive relief. Plaintiff merchants allege that Visa,
MasterCard and payment card issuing banks unlawfully colluded to
set interchange rates. Plaintiffs also allege that enforcement of
certain Visa and MasterCard rules and alleged tying and bundling
of services offered to merchants are anticompetitive. Wells Fargo
and Wachovia, along with other defendants and entities, are
parties to Loss and Judgment Sharing Agreements, which provide
that they, along with other entities, will share, based on a
formula, in any losses from the Interchange Litigation.

On July 13, 2012, Visa, MasterCard and the financial institution
defendants, including Wells Fargo, signed a memorandum of
understanding with plaintiff merchants to resolve the consolidated
class actions and reached a separate settlement in principle of
the consolidated individual actions. The settlement payments to be
made by all defendants in the consolidated class and individual
actions total approximately $6.6 billion before reductions
applicable to certain merchants opting out of the settlement. The
class settlement also provided for the distribution to class
merchants of 10 basis points of default interchange across all
credit rate categories for a period of eight consecutive months.

The District Court granted final approval of the settlement, which
has been appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals by
settlement objector merchants. Other merchants have opted out of
the settlement and are pursuing several individual actions.
Several merchants have now filed a motion to vacate the class
settlement.

-------------------------------------------------------
Yahoo! Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2015, for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2015, that the Company has filed a
motion to dismiss the class action filed by Cathy Buch.

On April 22, 2015, a stockholder action captioned Cathy Buch v.
David Filo, et al., was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery
against Yahoo and all current members of the Board. The complaint
asserts both derivative claims, purportedly on behalf of Yahoo,
and class action claims, purportedly on behalf of the plaintiff
and all similarly situated stockholders, relating to the
termination of, and severance payments made to, the Company's
former chief operating officer, Henrique de Castro. The plaintiff
alleges that the board members breached their fiduciary duties by
enabling or acquiescing in the payment of severance to Mr. de
Castro, and by allowing Yahoo to make allegedly false and
misleading statements regarding the value of his severance. The
plaintiff has also asserted claims against Mr. de Castro. The
plaintiff seeks to recoup the severance paid to Mr. de Castro, an
equitable accounting, disgorgement in favor of Yahoo, monetary
damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and an award of
attorneys' fees and costs. The Company has filed a motion to
dismiss the action.
