ABBVIE INC: Medical Mutual & Allied Services Cases Pending
----------------------------------------------------------
AbbVie Inc., in its Form 10-K Report filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015, disclosed that it is defending these
lawsuits:

     1. A putative class action lawsuit, Medical Mutual of Ohio
        v. AbbVie Inc., et al., which was filed in November 2014
        against several manufacturers of testosterone replacement
        therapies (TRTs), including AbbVie, in the United States
        District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on
        behalf of all insurance companies, health benefit
        providers, and other third party payors who paid for TRTs,
        including AndroGel. The claims asserted include violations
        of the federal RICO Act and state consumer fraud and
        deceptive trade practices laws. The complaint seeks
        monetary damages and injunctive relief.

     2. A similar lawsuit, Allied Services Division Welfare Fund
        v. AbbVie Inc., et al., which was filed in the same court
        in October 2015 on behalf of the same putative class
        members and a putative class of consumers.

No further updates were provided in the Company's Form 10-K
report.

AbbVie is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company.


ABBVIE INC: Class Suit by Buyers of Shire Securities Pending
------------------------------------------------------------
AbbVie Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015, that product liability cases are pending
in which plaintiffs generally allege that AbbVie and other
manufacturers of testosterone replacement therapies (TRTs) did not
adequately warn about risks of certain injuries, primarily heart

In November 2014, five individuals filed a putative class action
lawsuit on behalf of purchasers and sellers of certain Shire
securities between June 20 and October 14, 2014, against AbbVie
and its chief executive officer in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that the
defendants made and/or are responsible for material misstatements
in violation of federal securities laws in connection with
AbbVie's proposed transaction with Shire. The complaint seeks
monetary damages and injunctive relief.

No further updates were provided in the Company's Form 10-K
report.

AbbVie is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company.


ABBVIE INC: Still Defends Sidney Hillman Case
---------------------------------------------
AbbVie Inc. continues to defend said in its Form 10-K Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016,
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that

In August 2013, a putative class action lawsuit, Sidney Hillman
Health Center of Rochester, et al. v. AbbVie Inc., et al., was
filed against AbbVie in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois by three healthcare benefit
providers alleging violations of Federal Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statutes and state deceptive business
practice and unjust enrichment laws in connection with
reimbursements for certain uses of Depakote from 1998 to 2012.
Plaintiffs seek monetary damages and/or equitable relief and
attorneys' fees.

No further updates were provided in the Company's Form 10-K
report.

                           *     *     *

In February 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit reversed a district court ruling dismissing the class
suit.

The group of multi-employer benefit funds had challenged the
dismissal of their putative class action, which alleges that
Abbott Laboratories, Inc., and its subdivision AbbVie, violated
the RICO through efforts to promote the anticonvulsant medication
Depakote for ineffective and unsafe uses.

The district court dismissed the case with prejudice as barred by
the statute of limitations, concluding that a reasonable benefit
fund would have discovered its injuries in 1998, when the funds
first reimbursed the cost of an "off-label" prescription for
Depakote.

"We REVERSE the dismissal of the funds' RICO claims and REMAND for
further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Because the
state law claims were dismissed based on similar reasoning, they
are reinstated as well," the Seventh Circuit ruled.  A copy of the
Seventh Circuit's decision is available at http://is.gd/YZi42b
from Leagle.com.

AbbVie is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company.

AGAPE WORLD: Broker Sent to Prison, Ordered to Repay Investors
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that a Long Island financial broker
is headed to prison and has been ordered to pay back investors
nearly $180 million.

Newsday reports that Jason Keryc was sentenced in federal court
Wednesday in Central Islip to serve nine years in prison and three
years of supervised release.

Mr. Keryc was convicted of conspiracy and fraud in April for his
role in a Ponzi scheme while working for a Hauppauge-based
investment firm that bilked thousands of investors out of $147
million.

Mr. Keryc was an account representative at Nicholas Cosmo's Agape
World from 2005 to 2009.  Federal prosecutors say he pocketed
nearly $9 million in the scheme and helped convince investors
their funds were safe in short-term business loans with high
interest rates.

Mr. Keryc says he's a good person who made "a terrible mistake."


AMERICAN TOBACCO: Attorney Wants Share of Fees in Class Action
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jessica Karmasek, writing for Legal Newsline, reports that a
Nevada attorney is suing a group of lawyers and law firms who
helped prosecute a class action lawsuit against various tobacco
companies, arguing he is owed a portion of the attorneys fees
awarded.

Donald J. Bernard filed his nine-page complaint for damages and
declaratory judgment in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Louisiana Feb. 16.

The named defendant is The Scott Litigation Group, "an
unincorporated association of lawyers and law firms who have
prosecuted a class action lawsuit entitled Gloria Scott, et al.
vs. The American Tobacco Company, Inc., et al."

Among the law firms included in the group: Bruno & Bruno, Simon
Peragine Smith & Redfearn LLP, Bencomo & Associates, Herman Herman
& Katz LLC (formerly Herman Herman Katz & Cotlar LLP), Murray Law
Firm, Leger & Mestayer, Gertler Gertler Vincent & Plotkin LLP,
Kenneth M. Carter PLC, Singleton Law Firm, Law Office of Daniel E.
Becnel Jr., Bruce C. Dean LLC, Due Price Guidry Piedrahita &
Andrews LC, St. Martin & Williams, and Fayard & Honeycutt APC.

According to Mr. Bernard's complaint, he entered into an attorney-
client relationship with Gloria Scott in April 1994.
Ms. Scott, along with other black Americans similarly situated,
filed a class action against the tobacco companies in May 1994 on
account of their addiction.

About a month later, in June 1994, Mr. Bernard alleges he was
approached by a group of attorneys also pursuing class action
litigation against the tobacco companies.

Members of the executive committee of Castano PLC represented to
Bernard that if he would dismiss his own litigation, Gloria Scott
would be added as a class representative in their litigation and,
upon certification as a class action, Mr. Bernard would
participate in the litigation as a member of the PLC and be paid
"on an equal basis with other committee members."

Based on those representations, Mr. Bernard says he dismissed the
litigation and executed a promissory note in favor of Castano PLC
in the amount of $100,000.

At that time, Mr. Bernard was designated as a member of the PLC
and was issued credentials.

Mr. Bernard says he immediately began attending meetings and
hearings and performing legal services in the Castano litigation
as a member of the PLC.

"At no time did any member of the Castano PLC advise Bernard that
he was not a member of the Castano PLC," he noted in his
complaint.

In May 1996, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
denied class certification in Castano v. American Tobacco Co.,
with instructions to dismiss the case.

Soon after, as a result of the Fifth Circuit's order, members of
The Scott Litigation Group -- the majority of whose members were
also members of Castano PLC -- filed the lawsuit entitled
Gloria Scott, et al. vs. The American Tobacco Company, et al., as
a class action on behalf of Gloria Scott and other persons
addicted to tobacco smoking.

The class in the Scott litigation was eventually certified and a
jury verdict was entered.

After further appeals, a trial court in June 2011 adopted the
opinion of the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal and a
final judgment was entered for $241,540,488 plus legal interest of
$37,180,302.55 for a total of $278,720,790.55 -- which was paid by
the tobacco companies into a registry.

Of that amount, $114,275,542 was to be paid to class counsel.

Mr. Bernard argues that he is part of the class counsel, and that
the Castano Group and Scott Group breached their contractual and
fiduciary obligations to him.

To date, Mr. Bernard claims he has not received any compensation
for his representation of Gloria Scott and his participation as a
member of the joint venture, or special partnership.

"At all material times herein, Bernard was a joint venturer with
the members of the Scott Group," he wrote in his complaint.  "They
pooled their resources and continued to hold out Bernard's Client,
Gloria Scott, as a representative plaintiff in all litigation and
other matters.

"As such, each joint venture was entitled to an equal share of all
profits.  As a joint venture or special partner owner, Bernard
maintained an ownership interest in past, present and future
profits from these joint ventures."

Mr. Bernard is asking the court to grant a declaratory judgment
ruling that he is a special partner with the other members of the
Scott Group and has a joint ownership interest in the settlements,
"including but not limited to share as a member of the class
counsel under the May 10 agreement."

The case has been assigned to Judge Susie Morgan.


ANTHEM INC: No Argument Date Yet in Conn. Supreme Court Appeal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Anthem, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that a date for argument has
not been set in an appeal before the Connecticut Supreme Court.

The lawsuit names Anthem Insurance as well as Anthem, Inc. and is
captioned Ronald Gold, et al. v. Anthem, Inc. et al. Anthem
Insurance's 2001 Plan of Conversion, or the Plan, provided for the
conversion of Anthem Insurance from a mutual insurance company
into a stock insurance company pursuant to Indiana law. Under the
Plan, Anthem Insurance distributed the fair value of the company
at the time of conversion to its Eligible Statutory Members, or
ESMs, in the form of cash or Anthem common stock in exchange for
their membership interests in the mutual company. Plaintiffs in
Gold allege that Anthem Insurance distributed value to the wrong
ESMs.

"Cross motions for summary judgment were granted in part and
denied in part in July 2006 with regard to the issue of sovereign
immunity asserted by co-defendant, the state of Connecticut, or
the State," the Company said.  "The trial court also denied our
motion for summary judgment as to plaintiffs' claims in January
2005. The State appealed the denial of its motion to the
Connecticut Supreme Court."

"We filed a cross-appeal on the sovereign immunity issue. In May
2010, the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the trial court
denying the State's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claims under
sovereign immunity and dismissed our cross-appeal. The case was
remanded to the trial court for further proceedings. Plaintiffs'
motion for class certification was granted in December 2011.

"We and the plaintiffs filed renewed cross-motions for summary
judgment in January 2013. In August 2013, the trial court denied
plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. The trial court deferred
a final ruling on our motion for summary judgment.

"In March 2014, the trial court denied our motion for summary
judgment finding that an issue of material fact existed. A trial
on liability was held in October 2014.

"In June 2015, the court entered judgment for Anthem Insurance on
all issues, finding that (1) Anthem Insurance correctly determined
the State to be an ESM, not Plaintiffs; (2) Anthem Insurance acted
in good faith in making this determination, while Plaintiffs
failed to present sufficient evidence to override a presumption
that Anthem Insurance's ESM determination was correct; and (3)
Plaintiffs failed to prove the breach of any contractual
obligation.

"In July 2015, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the
judgment entered for Anthem Insurance.

"In December 2015, the Connecticut Supreme Court decided it would
hear the appeal directly rather than the appeal going to the
intermediate appellate court. A date for argument has not been
set.

"We intend to vigorously seek the affirmation of the trial court's
judgment; however, the suit's ultimate outcome cannot be presently
determined."

Anthem is one of the largest health benefits companies in terms of
medical membership in the United States, serving 38.6 million
medical members through its affiliated health plans as of December
31, 2015.  It is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Association, or BCBSA, an association of independent
health benefit plans.


ANTHEM INC: 11 Suits Over Out-of-Network Reimbursement Pending
--------------------------------------------------------------
Anthem, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that the Company is currently
a defendant in 11 putative class actions relating to out-of-
network, or OON, reimbursement that were consolidated into a
single multi-district lawsuit called In re WellPoint, Inc. (n/k/a
Anthem, Inc.)

Out-of-Network "UCR" Rates Litigation that is pending in the
United States District Court for the Central District of
California. The lawsuits were filed in 2009. The plaintiffs
include current and former members on behalf of a putative class
of members who received OON services for which the defendants paid
less than billed charges, the American Medical Association, four
state medical associations, OON physicians, OON non-physician
providers, the American Podiatric Medical Association, California
Chiropractic Association and the California Psychological
Association on behalf of putative classes of OON physicians and
all OON non-physician health care providers. The plaintiffs have
filed several amended complaints alleging that the defendants
violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act,
or RICO, the Sherman Antitrust Act, ERISA, federal regulations,
and state law by using an OON reimbursement database called
Ingenix and by using non-Ingenix OON reimbursement methodologies.

"We have filed motions to dismiss in response to each of those
amended complaints," the Company said.  "Our motions to dismiss
have been granted in part and denied in part by the court."

"The most recent pleading filed by the plaintiffs is a Fourth
Amended Complaint to which we filed a motion to dismiss most, but
not all, of the claims. In July 2013 the court issued an order
granting in part and denying in part our motion. The court held
that the state and federal anti-trust claims along with the RICO
claims should be dismissed in their entirety with prejudice. The
court further found that the ERISA claims, to the extent they
involved non-Ingenix methodologies, along with those that involved
our alleged non-disclosures should be dismissed with prejudice.
The court also dismissed most of the plaintiffs' state law claims
with prejudice.

"The only claims that remain after the court's decision are an
ERISA benefits claim relating to claims priced based on Ingenix, a
breach of contract claim on behalf of one subscriber plaintiff, a
breach of implied covenant claim on behalf of one subscriber
plaintiff, and one subscriber plaintiff's claim under the
California Unfair Competition Law. The plaintiffs filed a motion
for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss order, which the
court granted in part and denied in part. The court ruled that the
plaintiffs adequately allege that one Georgia provider plaintiff
is deemed to have exhausted administrative remedies regarding non-
Ingenix methodologies based on the facts alleged regarding that
plaintiff so those claims are back in the case. Fact discovery is
complete.

"The plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in November
2013 seeking six different classes. Following expert discovery and
briefing, oral argument was held on the motion. In late 2014, the
court denied the plaintiffs' motion for class certification in its
entirety. The California subscriber plaintiffs filed a motion for
leave to file a renewed motion for class certification with more
narrowly defined proposed classes, which the court denied. All but
two of the individually named subscribers and all of the providers
and medical associations dismissed their claims with prejudice.
Motions for summary judgment are due in early 2016.

"Earlier in the case, in 2009, we filed a motion in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, or the
Florida Court, to enjoin the claims brought by the physician
plaintiffs and certain medical association plaintiffs based on
prior litigation releases, which was granted in 2011. The Florida
Court ordered those plaintiffs to dismiss their claims that are
barred by the release. The plaintiffs then filed a petition for
declaratory judgment asking the court to find that these claims
are not barred by the releases from the prior litigation.

"We filed a motion to dismiss the declaratory judgment action,
which was granted. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the
declaratory judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit, but the dismissal was upheld. The enjoined
physicians and some of the medical associations did not dismiss
their barred claims. The Florida Court found those enjoined
plaintiffs in contempt and sanctioned them in July 2012. Those
plaintiffs appealed the Florida Court's sanctions order to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The
Eleventh Circuit upheld the Florida court's enforcement of the
injunction as it relates to the plaintiffs' RICO and antitrust
claims, but vacated it as it relates to certain ERISA claims. The
plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing en banc as to the
antitrust claims only, which was denied. The plaintiffs then filed
a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. The
American Medical Association filed an amicus brief in support of
the petition. The U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition in
February 2015. We intend to vigorously defend these suits;
however, their ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined."

medical membership in the United States, serving 38.6 million

31, 2015.  It is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Association, or BCBSA, an association of independent
health benefit plans.


ANTHEM INC: Discovery Commenced in Blue Cross Litigation
--------------------------------------------------------
Anthem, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that discovery has commenced
in the case, In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation.

The Company is a defendant in multiple lawsuits that were
initially filed in 2012 against the BCBSA as well as Blue Cross
and/or Blue Shield licensees across the country. The cases were
consolidated into a single multi-district lawsuit called In re
Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation that is pending in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.

Generally, the suits allege that the BCBSA and the Blue plans have
engaged in a conspiracy to horizontally allocate geographic
markets through license agreements, best efforts rules (which
limit the percentage of non-Blue revenue of each plan),
restrictions on acquisitions and other arrangements in violation
of the Sherman Antitrust Act and related state laws. The cases
were brought by two putative nationwide classes of plaintiffs,
health plan subscribers and providers. Subscriber and provider
plaintiffs each filed consolidated amended complaints in July
2013. The consolidated amended subscriber complaint was also
brought on behalf of putative state classes of health plan
subscribers in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Hawaii,
Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

Defendants filed motions to dismiss in September 2013, which were
argued in April 2014. In June 2014, the court denied the majority
of the motions, ruling that plaintiffs had alleged sufficient
facts at this stage of the litigation to avoid dismissal of their
claims.

"Following the subsequent filing of amended complaints by each of
the subscriber and provider plaintiffs, we filed our answer and
asserted our affirmative defenses in December 2014. Discovery has
commenced. We intend to vigorously defend these suits; however,
their ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined," the
Company said.

Blue Shield Association, or BCBSA, an association of independent
health benefit plans.


ANTHEM INC: Dismissal of Cyber Attack Claims Sought
---------------------------------------------------
Anthem, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that the Company has filed
motions to dismiss several counts in the lawsuits related to the
cyber attack incident.

The Company said, "In February 2015, we reported that we were the
target of a sophisticated external cyber attack. The attackers
gained unauthorized access to certain of our information
technology systems and obtained personal information related to
many individuals and employees, such as names, birthdays, health
care identification/social security numbers, street addresses,
email addresses, phone numbers and employment information,
including income data. To date, there is no evidence that credit
card or medical information, such as claims, test results or
diagnostic codes, were targeted, accessed or obtained, although no
assurance can be given that we will not identify additional
information that was accessed or obtained."

"We have continued to implement security enhancements since this
incident and are supporting federal law enforcement efforts to
identify the responsible parties. Upon discovery of the cyber
attack, we took immediate action to remediate the security
vulnerability and retained a cybersecurity firm to evaluate our
systems and identify solutions based on the evolving landscape. We
are providing credit monitoring and identity protection services
to those who have been affected by this cyber attack. We have
incurred expenses subsequent to the cyber attack to investigate
and remediate this matter and expect to continue to incur expenses
of this nature in the foreseeable future. We will recognize these
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

"Actions have been filed in various federal and state courts and
other claims have been or may be asserted against us on behalf of
current or former members, current or former employees, other
individuals, shareholders or others seeking damages or other
related relief, allegedly arising out of the cyber attack. State

ARIZONA: Fails to Comply with Settlement Over Prison Healthcare
---------------------------------------------------------------
12 News reports that prison healthcare is once again front and
center in federal court in downtown Phoenix on March 1 during a
mediation hearing before U.S. Magistrate John Buttrick.

Attorneys from the ACLU National Prison Project, Arizona Center
for Disability Law, ACLU of Arizona, Prison Law Office, Perkins
Coie and Jones Day who settled a class-action lawsuit filed
against the Arizona Department of Corrections in 2012, Parsons v.
Ryan, say the ADC is not coming close to meeting their obligations
to improve healthcare under the Parsons settlement.

12 News has been inundated with emails and phone calls from
families of prisoners alleging their loved ones are not getting
the treatment they need.  12 News aired a series of reports
beginning in 2011 regarding mental health care and medical care in
the Arizona prison system.

A 2014, 12 News investigative series revealed inadequate
healthcare by the state's contracted healthcare provider, Corizon,
resulting in deaths.

Documentation 12 News obtained details specific cases where
inmates appear to be in real medical trouble but their pleas for
help may be going unanswered.

Doctor Todd Wilcox identified a number of prisoners who required
urgent action so as to avoid imminent harm.

He detailed an inmate at the prison in Tucson needing surgery for
a severe and painful fistula between his intestines and bladder.

A 34-year-old inmate suffering 2 to 3 seizures per day had filed
health needs requests to see a neurologist but has not seen one.

A 60-year-old inmate who noticed his foot was turning black had to
have his leg amputated. Two days later his knee was removed as
well and he has still not been fitted for a prosthetic device.

An inmate's gum line is fully exposed to the roots and bone on the
lower jaw despite filing numerous requests to see a dentist.

A chronically ill inmate at the Eyman prison who's at risk for
pneumonia or death blames Corizon for not providing him with a
voice box or tracheotomy tube to plug an open tracheostomy hole.
Dr. Pablo Stewart stated that this inmate is at a high risk of
developing pneumonia if he aspirates his food, or of choking to
death if food or other objects get stuck in his windpipe.

Other documentation reveals a 30-year-old inmate experienced
extreme delays in detection and treatment of testicular cancer
which has since spread to his internal organs and is now
inoperable and untreatable.  That inmate, according to Dr. Wilcox,
has been given less than a year to live.

ADC spokesman Andrew Wilder issued the following email statement
to 12 News:

"The Department of Corrections is strongly committed to providing
high-quality healthcare to its inmate population.  We firmly
disagree with the plaintiffs' allegations.  Allegations are not
evidence.  Moreover, anecdotal complaints are not evidence of
substantial non-compliance among a patient population in excess of
35,000.  We are confident that the Court will agree when these
issues are presented for judicial resolution."

David Fathi, director of the ACLU National Prison Project told 12
News that the March 1 mediation was inconclusive but that the two
sides agreed to keep talking.

Mr. Fathi, however, says none of the major issues were
substantively addressed. But he added, "We remain extremely
concerned that, more than a year after the settlement went into
effect, ADC remains out of compliance with critically important
provisions designed to protect the health, safety and lives of the
34,000 men and women we represent.  While we continue to hope for
a negotiated resolution, we will not hesitate to return to court
if necessary to enforce our clients' right to minimally adequate
health care."

BANK OF THE OZARKS: Says Arkansas Supreme Court to Rule This Qtr
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bank Of The Ozarks, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that a ruling from the
Arkansas Supreme Court is expected in the first quarter of 2016.

On January 5, 2012, the Company and the Bank were served with a
summons and complaint filed on December 19, 2011, in the Circuit
Court of Lonoke County, Arkansas, Division III, styled Robert
Walker, Ann B. Hines and Judith Belk vs. Bank of the Ozarks, Inc.
and Bank of the Ozarks, Case No. CV-2011-777. In addition, on
December 21, 2012, the Bank was served with a summons and
complaint filed on December 20, 2012, in the Circuit Court of
Pulaski County, Arkansas, Ninth Division, styled Audrey Muzingo v.
Bank of the Ozarks, Case No. 60 CV-12-6043. The complaint in each
case alleges that the Company and/or Bank have harmed the
plaintiffs, current or former customers of the Bank, by improper,
unfair, and unconscionable assessment and collection of excessive
overdraft fees from the plaintiffs.

According to the complaints, plaintiffs claim that the Bank
employs sophisticated software to automate its overdraft system,
and that this system unfairly and inequitably manipulates and
alters customers' transaction records in order to maximize
overdraft penalties, particularly utilizing a practice of posting
of items in "high-to-low" order, despite the actual sequence in
which such items are presented for payment. Plaintiffs claim that
the Bank's deposit agreements with customers do not adequately
disclose the Bank's overdraft assessment policies and are
ambiguous, deceptive, unfair, and misleading. The complaint in
each case alleges that these actions and omissions constitute
breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, unconscionable conduct, conversion, unjust
enrichment, and violation of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade
Practices Act.  Each of the complaints seeks to have the cases
certified by the court as a class action for all Bank account
holders similarly situated, and seeks a declaratory judgment as to
the wrongful nature of the Bank's overdraft fee policies,
restitution of overdraft fees paid by the plaintiffs and the
putative class (defined as all Bank customers residing in
Arkansas) as a result of the actions cited in the complaints,
disgorgement of profits as a result of the alleged wrongful
actions, and unspecified compensatory and statutory or punitive
damages, together with pre-judgment interest, costs, and
plaintiffs' attorneys' fees.

The Company and Bank filed a motion to dismiss and to compel
arbitration in the Walker case. The trial court denied the motion
and found that the arbitration provision contained in the
controlling Consumer Deposit Account Agreement was unconscionable
and thus unenforceable on the grounds that the provision was the
result of unequal bargaining power.

On September 18, 2013, the Arkansas Court of Appeals reversed the
trial court's ruling and remanded the case to the trial court for
the purpose of entering an order compelling arbitration. On
October 7, 2013, the plaintiffs filed petitions for
reconsideration and review before the Arkansas Court of Appeals
and Arkansas Supreme Court, respectively. On May 15, 2014, the
Arkansas Supreme Court vacated the Arkansas Court of Appeals'
decision, reversing and remanding the case to the trial court to
determine, in the first instance, whether there is a valid
agreement to arbitrate disputes between the named plaintiffs and
the Bank.

On October 30, 2014, the trial court issued an order once again
denying the Company and Bank's motion to dismiss and to compel
arbitration, finding that the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement
containing the arbitration provision was not enforceable because
of a lack of mutual agreement and lack of mutual obligation. The
Company and Bank have appealed the trial court's ruling to the
Arkansas Supreme Court on an interlocutory basis. A ruling from
the Arkansas Supreme Court is expected in the first quarter of
2016.

The Plaintiff in the Muzingo case has agreed to stay the
proceedings in that case pending the outcome of the appeal in the
Walker case. The Company and the Bank believe the Plaintiffs'
claims in each of these cases are unfounded and subject to
meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously defend against these
claims.

Bank of the Ozarks is a bank holding company registered under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.  The Company owns an Arkansas
state chartered subsidiary bank, Bank of the Ozarks.

---------------------------------------------------
Mary La Flamme, Plaintiff, on her own behalf and on behalf of
others similarly situated v. Bloomin' Brands, Inc., OSI Restaurant
Partners, LLC and Carrabba's Italian Grill, LLC, Defendants, Case No.
8:16-cv-00452-RAL-TGW (M.D. Fla., February 25, 2015), seeks payment
of wages for all hours worked and minimum wages for non-tipped
work.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as interpreted by the
Department of Labor (the "DOL"), employers may not take the tip
credit for time the employee is engaged in a non-tipped job and
instead must pay at the minimum wage.  Plaintiff alleges that
Defendants violated the FLSA by failing to pay Plaintiff and Class
Members wages for all hours worked and failing to pay minimum
wages for non-tipped work in violation of the FLSA tip-credit
provisions.  Defendants failed to compensate their employees
including Plaintiff and the Class Members at the applicable
federal minimum wage for Non-Tipped Work that exceed 20% of hours
worked in the workweek.

Defendant Bloomin' Brands, Inc. is a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware and has conducted business
directly and through its subsidiaries in the State of Florida.
Bloomin' Brands principal place of business is located at 2202 N.

BLUE CROSS: Fla. Ct. Denies Preexisting Condition Class Cert.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Three women applied for individual health insurance policies from
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc., between 2006 and
2010.  Because of preexisting medical conditions, Blue Cross
offered limited coverage.  Contending that Section 627.6487,
Florida Statutes, prohibited Blue Cross from doing that, the three
women sued on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated.

Circuit Judge Gregory M. Keyser entered orders in Arduini v. Blue
Cross, Case No. 50-2011-CA-00364XXXXMB (Fla. 15th Cir. Ct.), last
week denying class certification and dismissing the lawsuits on
summary judgment in the health insurer's favor.

This is the first known decision under the subject Florida
statute.  Judge Keyser found the three women are not "eligible
individuals" as that phrase is defined in the statute because they
were eligible for coverage under other health insurance plans.
Two of the women were enrolled in other group health plans and one
of the women had declined COBRA coverage for which she was
eligible.  Therefore, Blue Cross' legal team at Holland & Knight
successfully argued, the statute imposed no duty on Blue Cross to
offer the women policies that would cover their preexisting
conditions.  Because the three women didn't fall within the
definition of eligible individuals under the Florida statute,
Judge Keyser said they lack standing and there's no way they could
serve as class representatives.

BULLSEYE GLASS: Keller Rohrback Mulls Emissions Class Action
------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel Jaquiss, writing for Willamette Week, reports that after
weeks of public outcry and hand-wringing from politicians, it
appears the controversy over heavy-metals emissions from Bullseye
Glass Co. is headed for court.

Keller Rohrback, a Seattle law firm, is looking into a class
action lawsuit on behalf of families living near Bullseye's
factory in the Southeast Portland neighborhood of Brooklyn.

"We are actively investigating what options residents who live
near Bullseye Glass might have to hold the company accountable and
to ensure that it doesn't continue to operate in a way that
potentially puts people and their property at risk,"
Matthew Preusch -- mpreusch@kellerrohrback.com -- a Keller
Rohrback lawyer, tells WW.

Mr. Preusch, a Lake Oswego native now living in California, used
to be an environmental reporter for The Oregonian.


CALIFORNIA: Fire Prevention Fee Bills Mailed to Residents
---------------------------------------------------------
Tracey Petersen, writing for MML News Reporter, reports that the
fifth round of controversial Fire Prevention Fee bills went out on
March 1 in California for the fiscal year 2015-16.

More than 700,000 rural residents will find the bill in their
mailboxes for the fifth year.  State Board of Equalization Vice
Chair George Runner has been very vocal in his opposition to the
fee claiming it instead a tax.  Mr. Runner concludes,
"Californians who live in rural areas already pay taxes to fund
essential fire services.  It's a shame this unfair and illegal tax
continues to extract dollars from hardworking people.  The
Legislature and Governor should repeal it."  A recent
myMotherlode.com poll found citizens in the Mother Lode agree and
support a class action lawsuit.  As previously reported, the
lawsuit garnered class action status in January.

The bills, nearly 10,000 a day, go out by county in alphabetical
order starting with Alameda County.  The final delivery is on June
13 in Yuba County.  Mr. Runner reminds property owners that they
must file a Petition for Redetermination within 30 days of the
billing date to be eligible for a refund if the class action suit
is successful.

CARMEL, IN: Attorney Seeks Injunction Against 8-2 Traffic Fines
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Sikich, writing for IndyStar, reports that attorney
Ed Bielski is seeking an injunction in federal court to prevent
the city of Carmel from collecting fines for traffic tickets
police issued under an invalid city ordinance.

The Court of Appeals of Indiana unanimously ruled on Dec. 11 that
Carmel traffic ordinance 8-2 improperly duplicated state law.

Through his effort to collect information for the federal lawsuit,
Mr. Bielski said, he learned Carmel has continued to try to
collect money from motorists cited under the local ordinance for
traffic tickets.  Carmel's fines can be more than three times as
much as the state's fines for the same infraction, he said.

Carmel police, he said, sent letters via certified mail on
Feb. 16 to motorists who had received traffic tickets under
ordinance 8-2 to alert them they were now being ticketed under a
different traffic law.  The letter, he said, provided the
motorists with a new court date.  They also were advised they
could pay their fines rather than go to court by signing their
traffic ticket and mailing in the money.

Mr. Bielski said the information in the letter was an outright
fabrication. He said the tickets had not been refiled and no new
court dates had been set in Carmel's traffic court.  And
regardless, he contends, Carmel can't retroactively cite motorists
under a different traffic law.

"The city is creating a problem by suggesting to people they
should be paying their tickets," he said, "because there are no
tickets pending."

Mr. Bielski has to amend a procedural matter in the federal
complaint before Judge Mark Dinsmore will decide whether to grant
the injunction.  There is no timeline for a decision.

In a prepared statement to IndyStar, John Maley, an attorney with
Barnes & Thornburg who represents the city of Carmel, said he
believes the federal court has no jurisdiction over claims
adjudicated against traffic offenders in state court.

He said the city would seek to dismiss the federal lawsuit.

"Carmel views the lawsuit as meritless," Mr. Maley said, "under
governing legal precedent, and is vigorously defending it.  Carmel
will seek recovery of all costs possible if successful in
defending the action."

The city also hopes to overturn the Dec. 11 decision by the state
Court of Appeals.  Carmel has appealed that decision to the
Indiana Supreme Court, which has not yet decided whether it will
hear the case.

Carmel attorney Doug Haney argued in Carmel's court filing that
the Court of Appeals ruling impinges on elected officials'
authority throughout the state to set speed limits and strips
cities and towns of their statutory power to collect monetary
judgment against traffic offenders.

The Indiana Association of Cities and Towns and Indiana Municipal
Lawyers Association have filed briefs supporting Carmel's effort,
saying the ruling could have dire impacts on cities and towns
throughout Indiana with similar ordinances.

The case stems from a traffic ticket Jason J. Maraman received
last year that cited him under Carmel traffic ordinance 8-2 for
driving 30 mph in a 20 mph zone. The state Court of Appeals ruled
Carmel's traffic ordinance 8-2 was invalid because it simply
copied the state code governing traffic.

The state's Home Rule Act says local governments can't simply
duplicate a state statute, Mr. Maraman argued in court,
representing himself.  The Home Rule Act of 1980 grants powers and
places restrictions on local governments in Indiana and delineates
the role of the state from the role of local governments.

If local governments adopt traffic ordinances, he argued they have
to write local ordinances detailing their city interests, such as
identifying a specific reason for a local speed limit on a
specific stretch of road.

In court filings, Carmel has said city police have issued 8,124
speeding tickets under ordinance 8-2 during the past three years
and notes they all would be declared invalid under the court
ruling.

Mr. Bielski said Carmel's motivation is, in part, financial.
Carmel police are citing motorists under the local ordinance, he
said, so the city, rather than the state, can collect the fines.

He said a speeding ticket for driving 20 mph over the limit
includes a $35.50 state fine, plus court costs, under state
statute.  Under Carmel's ordinance, he said, driving 20 mph over
the limit on the same road includes a $125 city fine, plus court
costs.

He said Carmel also appears to have used ordinance 8-2 to write
tickets to cite everything from expired license plates to drivers
without a valid license.  He said he can't imagine another reason
why a city would have a local interest to cite motorists under a
local ordinance, rather than a state statute, for such
infractions.

"Carmel is treating its police like a revenue source,"
Mr. Bielski said.  "When you make that a primary goal and function
in a community, you've lost direction.  I think Carmel is confused
as to what its police officers are.  They are protectors not tax
collectors."


CHESAPEAKE APPALACHIA: Leaseholders Seek Mediator to Resolve Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Terrie Morgan-Besecker, writing for wcexaminer.com, reports that,
concerned Chesapeake Appalachia LLC may file for bankruptcy,
natural leaseholders included in an $11 million settlement are
asking a federal judge to appoint a mediator to resolve a court
action filed by the state Office of Attorney General that
jeopardizes the agreement.

In a motion filed on Feb. 26, Attorney Douglas Clark of the
Peckville section of Blakely says a decline natural gas prices has
hurt Chesapeake's finances.  There's concern the company may
withdraw from the settlement of a class action lawsuit if the
attorney general's case drags on.

Speculation over the future of the Chesapeake, the nation's second
largest natural gas producer, escalated in February upon news it
hired Kirkland & Ellis, a law firm that specializes in
restructuring debt.

The company also recently announced it has pulled all its drilling
rigs from Pennsylvania gas fields.

Chesapeake tried to quell concerns about its finances, issuing a
statement in February saying it has no plans to file for
bankruptcy.  That assurance did not allay concerns of leaseholders
who agreed to the settlement of the lawsuit.

Mr. Clark represents Russell and Gayle Burkett, who are among
leaseholders who sued Chesapeake in 2013.  The suit, filed by lead
plaintiffs Joseph and Billie Demchak, alleged the company wrongly
deducted post production costs for natural gas extracted through
Marcellus Shale drilling.

Chesapeake agreed in 2014 to settle the suit.  The deal was
derailed in December, however, when the attorney general's office
filed a motion opposing the settlement because it would preclude
the office from pursuing a complaint it filed in Bradford County
that alleges Chesapeake fraudulently induced landowners to enter
leases.  That case remains pending.

The proposed class action settlement was reached on behalf of
roughly 9,000 landowners who agreed to the terms of the deal,
Mr. Clark said.  Another 3,000 landowners opposed the agreement
and chose to opt out, which allows them to individually pursue
claims against Chesapeake.

In his motion, Mr. Clark said the attorney general's suit could
take years to resolve.  Given Chesapeake's precarious financial
condition, leaseholders risk losing the benefit of the settlement
if the matter is not resolved sooner.

"The proposed settlement agreement is the fair and reasonable
product of an armslength negotiation among the parties . . . It
provides certain recovery to all class members, and is the most
beneficial resolution of this matter," the motion says.

"The court's intervention is needed to prevent a significant
injustice to the more than 9,000 remaining class members."

Mr. Clark said he asked the attorney general's office to meet with
attorneys for the leaseholders and Chesapeake to try to resolve
the case, but the office refused.

The motion asks U.S. District Judge Malachy Mannion, who is
presiding over the class action lawsuit, to order all parties to
meet with a mediator.

Attempts on Feb. 29 to reach Gordon Pennoyer, spokesman for
Chesapeake, were unsuccessful.


CHESAPEAKE ENERGY: Bradford County Couple Files Class Action
------------------------------------------------------------
John Beauge, writing for PennLive, reports that a Bradford County
couple wants a judge to certify as a class action a federal
lawsuit that alleges Chesapeake Energy and its affiliates wrongly
reduced natural gas royalty payments.

Edward M. and Kathleen Ostroski on March 1, in a motion filed in
U.S. Middle District Court, claim there are more than 2,000
property owners in Pennsylvania like themselves who in aggregate
were cheated out of more than $5 million in royalty payments.

Chesapeake, of Oklahoma City, its subsidiaries Chesapeake
Appalachia and Chesapeake Operating, oppose the class action
motion.

The Athens-area couple's suit alleges Chesapeake:

   -- Paid no royalty on proceeds from derivative contracts.

   -- Deducted costs after Chesapeake Appalachia no longer held
title to the gas.

   -- Deducted costs that were inflated through collusion and
self-dealing with another company, transportation costs that were
fraudulent in their amounts and marketing fees that were not
incurred.

   -- Calculated royalties on a portion of the gas without
determining either the price paid or the costs deducted.

   -- Paid royalties on less than what a buyer paid for the gas.
The Ostroskis claim there is no other class action in commonwealth
that raises their claims.

The couple seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.


COLUMBIA GAS: 6th Circuit Reverses Class Action Dismissal
---------------------------------------------------------
Parker G. Jordan, Esq. -- pjordan@bakerlaw.com -- of Baker &
Hostetler LLP, in an article for Lexology, wrote that in Baatz v.
Columbia Gas Transmission LLC, No. 15-3208, 2016 WL 731900 (6th
Cir. 2016), a panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed
the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a group of landowners in
Medina, Ohio against Columbia Gas Transmission for allegedly
storing natural gas under their property without compensation.
The district court had dismissed the lawsuit under the "first-to-
file" rule on the ground that it was duplicative of a class action
filed against Columbia over a year earlier by other Ohio
landowners: Wilson v. Columbia Gas Transmission LLC, No. 2:12-cv-
01203 (S.D. Ohio Dec. 21, 2012).  While the panel concluded that
the first-to-file rule applied, it nevertheless reversed the
district court's dismissal because it found that the Medina
landowners raised "serious concerns" about their ability to have
their claims heard in the earlier-filed class action.

The first-to-file rule provides that "when actions involving
nearly identical parties and issues have been filed in two
different district courts, 'the court in which the first suit was
filed should generally proceed to judgment.'" Certified
Restoration Dry Cleaning Network, LLC v. Tenke Corp., 511 F.3d
535, 551 (6th Cir. 2007).  One of the purposes of the rule is to
avoid duplicative litigation, but courts must also consider
whether equitable considerations, such as evidence of forum
shopping, should preclude application of the first-to-file rule.

In Baatz, the Medina landowners argued that the parties to their
action and the Wilson class action were not "nearly identical"
because (1) although the Medina landowners were within the
putative class in Wilson, the class had not yet been certified,
and (2) even if the class were certified, the Medina landowners
would opt out.  The Sixth Circuit rejected these arguments, noting
that if plaintiffs were allowed to avoid application of the first-
to-file rule simply by representing that they would opt out of an
earlier-filed class action, then litigants, rather than the
courts, would decide when the rule applied and could unilaterally
"force resource-draining duplicative class actions to proceed
simultaneously."

But while the Sixth Circuit agreed that the first-to-file rule
applied, the court nonetheless held that the district court's
dismissal of the Medina landowners' suit was inappropriate because
it allegedly jeopardized their ability to have their claims heard
on the merits if the Wilson class is not certified. This risk
stems both from statute of limitation concerns and the fact that
the district court's dismissal order did not specify that the
dismissal was without prejudice, and therefore is presumed to be
with prejudice.  Thus, if the Wilson class is not certified or if
the Medina landowners opt out, they would still be barred from
pursuing their claims.

While the Sixth Circuit left it to the district court to decide
how best to manage the suit going forward, the court suggested
that staying the case while the Wilson court resolved the issues
raised by the Medina landowners would be the most reasonable
course of action.  To that end, the court quoted Judge Posner:
"Why take chances? It is simpler just to stay the second suit."
Asset Allocation & Mgmt. Co. v. W. Emp'rs Ins. Co., 892 F.2d 566,
571 (7th Cir. 1989).

Baatz suggests that when class action defendants are faced with
subsequent, separate lawsuits covering similar issues as the class
action, the first-to-file rule may not be used to obtain dismissal
of the subsequent suit if there are legitimate concerns about
whether those claims could be heard in the "first-filed" class
action.  Courts in these situations may decide not to "take
chances" by dismissing the suit, and may instead opt to stay the
suit while the plaintiff's ability to participate in the earlier-
filed class action is litigated.


CSX CORPORATION: "Toro" Misclassification Suit Moved to D. Mass.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jose Toro, Plaintiffs, individually and on behalf all others

Toro as an independent contractor and violation of the
Massachusetts Wage Act, under M.G.L. c. 149, Sections 148B and

(1) a yearly recovery of at least $25,000 for "wages and benefits"
prior to mandatory statutory trebling; (2) a yearly recovery of at

CVR ENERGY: MOU Reached in Mustard and Sloan Lawsuits
-----------------------------------------------------
CVR Energy, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that the parties to the
Mustard and Sloan lawsuits have entered into a memorandum of
understanding ("MOU") providing for the proposed settlement of the
lawsuits related to the Rentech Nitrogen merger.

On August 29, 2015, Mike Mustard, a purported unitholder of
Rentech Nitrogen, filed a class action complaint on behalf of the
public unitholders of Rentech Nitrogen against Rentech Nitrogen,
Rentech Nitrogen GP, Rentech Nitrogen Holdings, Inc., Rentech,
Inc., CVR Partners, DSHC, LLC, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, and
the members of the board of directors of Rentech Nitrogen GP (the
"Rentech Nitrogen Board"), in the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware (the "Mustard Lawsuit"). The Mustard Lawsuit alleges,
among other things, that the consideration offered by CVR Partners
is unfair and inadequate and that, by pursuing a transaction that
is the result of an allegedly conflicted and unfair process,
certain of the defendants have breached their duties owed to the
unitholders of Rentech Nitrogen, and are engaging in self-dealing.
Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the director defendants:
(i) failed to take steps to maximize the value of Rentech Nitrogen
to its public shareholders, (ii) failed to properly value Rentech
Nitrogen, and (iii) ignored or did not protect against the
numerous conflicts of interest arising out of the proposed
transaction. The Mustard Lawsuit also alleges that Rentech
Nitrogen, Rentech Nitrogen GP, Rentech Nitrogen Holdings, Inc.,
Rentech, Inc., CVR Partners, DSHC, LLC, Merger Sub 1 and Merger
Sub 2 aided and abetted the director defendants in their purported
breach of fiduciary duties.

On October 6, 2015, Jesse Sloan, a purported unitholder of Rentech
Nitrogen, filed a class action complaint on behalf of the public
unitholders of Rentech Nitrogen against Rentech Nitrogen, Rentech
Nitrogen GP, CVR Partners, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, and the
members of the Rentech Nitrogen Board, in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California (the "Sloan
Lawsuit"). The Sloan Lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the
attempted sale of Rentech Nitrogen to CVR Partners was conducted
by means of an unfair process and for an unfair price.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that (i) Rentech Nitrogen GP and
the Rentech Nitrogen Board breached their obligations under the
partnership agreement and their implied duty of good faith and
fair dealing by causing Rentech Nitrogen to enter into the merger
agreement and failing to disclose material information to
unitholders of Rentech Nitrogen, (ii) the Rentech Nitrogen Board
violated fiduciary duties owed to the unitholders of Rentech
Nitrogen based primarily on allegations of inadequate
consideration, restrictive deal protection devices and improper
disclosure, (iii) each of the defendants aided and abetted in the
foregoing breaches described in items (i) and (ii), and (iv)
Rentech Nitrogen and the Rentech Nitrogen Board violated Sections
14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule
14a-9 thereunder based on improper disclosure contained in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-206982),
which was originally filed with the SEC by CVR Partners on
September 17, 2015.

Among other remedies, the plaintiffs in these actions seek to
enjoin the mergers and seek unspecified money damages. The
lawsuits are at a preliminary state, and the outcome of any such
litigation is uncertain. An adverse ruling in these actions may
cause the mergers to be delayed or not be completed, which could
cause the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership not to realize some or
all of the anticipated benefits of the mergers. No amounts have
been recognized in these consolidated financial statements
regarding the lawsuits.

On February 1, 2016, the parties to the Mustard Lawsuit and the
Sloan Lawsuit entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU")
providing for the proposed settlement of the lawsuits. While the
defendants believe that no supplemental disclosure is required
under applicable laws, in order to avoid the burden and expense of
further litigation, they have agreed, pursuant to the terms of the
MOU, to make certain supplemental disclosures related to the
proposed mergers. The MOU contemplates that the parties will enter
into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement
will be subject to customary conditions, including court approval
following notice to Rentech Nitrogen's unitholders. In the event
that the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing
will be scheduled at which the United States District Court for
the Central District of California (the "Court") will consider the
fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the proposed settlement.
If the proposed settlement is finally approved by the Court, it
will resolve and release all claims by unitholders of Rentech
Nitrogen challenging any aspect of the proposed mergers, the
merger agreement and any disclosure made in connection therewith,
including in the prospectus and definitive proxy statement,
pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to such unitholders prior
to final approval of the proposed settlement. In addition, in
connection with the proposed settlement, the parties contemplate
that plaintiffs' counsel will file a petition in the Court for an
award of attorneys' fees and expenses to be paid by Rentech
Nitrogen or its successor. The proposed settlement is also
contingent upon, among other things, the mergers becoming
effective under Delaware law. There can be no assurance that the
Court will approve the proposed settlement contemplated by the
MOU. In the event that the proposed settlement is not approved and
such conditions are not satisfied, the defendants will continue to
vigorously defend against the allegations in the lawsuits.

CVR Energy, Inc. is a diversified holding company primarily
engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer
manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining, LP
("CVR Refining" or the "Refining Partnership") and CVR Partners,
LP ("CVR Partners" or the "Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership").

ENDOCYTE INC: Dismissal of "Vallabhaneni" Suit Under Appeal
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gopichand Vallabhaneni, Plaintiff-Appellant, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated v. Endocyte, Inc., et al.
Defendants-Appellee(s), Case No. 16-1454 (7th Cir., March 1,
2016), is an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit from the dismissal of a securities class action lawsuit.

Following consolidation of this case and two others, Plaintiff,
Gopichand Vallabhaneni, on behalf of himself and others similarly
situated, filed an Amended Complaint alleging several claims of
Securities Exchange Act and Securities Act violations against
Defendants, Endocyte, Inc., Endocyte's officers and directors, and
securities underwriters.  Vallabhaneni alleges that Endocyte made
materially untrue and/or misleading statements and omissions in
the registration statement issued in connection with Endocyte's
April 2014 public offering for a potentially promising cancer
treatment drug -- Vintafolide -- which had to cease its Phase 3
clinical trial.

On March 6, 2015, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss all claims
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).  District
Judge Tanya Walton Pratt (S.D. Ind.) granted the Defendants'
Motion to Dismiss, in an order dated Jan. 4, 2016, a copy of which
is available at http://is.gd/FLZcoufrom Leagle.com.

EVERBANK FINANCIAL: "Vathana" Case Parties Reached Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------------
EverBank Financial Corp said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that the parties in the
Vathana class action have agreed to a settlement in principle and
are in the process of finalizing settlement documents.

In April 2009, a putative class action entitled Vathana v.
EverBank was filed in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County,
California, against EverBank on behalf of all persons who invested
in certain EverBank foreign currency certificates of deposit
between April 24, 2005 and April 24, 2009, whose certificates of
deposit were closed by EverBank and who were allegedly improperly
paid the value of the account. In May 2009, EverBank removed the
case to the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that
EverBank breached its contract with its customers by invoking the
force majeure provision when closing certain foreign currency
certificates of deposit, and that at the time of account closing,
utilizing an improper conversion rate.

On March 15, 2010, a class was certified for purchasers of a
WorldCurrency(R) Certificate of Deposit denominated in Icelandic
Krona which matured between October 8 and December 31, 2008. On
October 14, 2010, the plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary
judgment on the issue of whether EverBank breached its contract
with the plaintiff by (1) failing to deliver Icelandic Krona when
EverBank closed the plaintiff's Icelandic Krona certificates of
deposit and (2) using commercially unreasonable conversion rates
when converting from Icelandic Krona to U.S. Dollars. EverBank
filed its reply and cross-motion for summary judgment on November
22, 2010.

On March 9, 2012, the Court entered an Order Granting EverBank's
Motion for Summary Judgment, finding that EverBank was permitted
to close the clients Icelandic Krona CDs without notice to avoid
losses to the clients or the bank. On September 7, 2012, plaintiff
filed a brief appealing the lower court's granting of summary
judgment in favor of EverBank. On October 9, 2012, EverBank filed
its responsive brief.

On October 31, 2014, the Ninth Circuit affirmed that EverBank did
not breach the Terms and Conditions by closing the CDs without
consent, but reversed and remanded the lower courts decision that
EverBank did not breach the customer deposit agreement as to the
conversion rate paid to customers. On October 9, 2015, the parties
agreed to a settlement in principle and are in the process of
finalizing settlement documents. All pending court dates have been
stayed in the interim.

EVERBANK FINANCIAL: Still Defends MERS-Related Cases
----------------------------------------------------
EverBank Financial Corp. remains a party to the so-called Mortgage
Electronic Registration Services related litigation, EverBank said
in its Form 10-K Report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 19, 2016, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2015.

Mortgage Electronic Registration Services (MERS), EverHome
Mortgage Company, EverBank and other lenders and servicers that
have held mortgages through MERS are parties to the following
material and class action lawsuits where the plaintiffs allege
improper mortgage assignment and, in some instances, the failure
to pay recording fees in violation of state recording statutes:
(1) State of Ohio, ex. rel. David P. Joyce, Prosecuting Attorney
General of Geauga County, Ohio v. MERSCORP, Inc., et al., filed in
October 2011 in the Court of Common Pleas for Geauga County, Ohio;
and (2) Delaware County, PA, Recorder of Deeds v. MERSCORP, Inc.,
et al., filed in November 2013 in the Court of Common Pleas of
Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

In these material and class action lawsuits, the plaintiffs in
each case generally seek judgment from the courts compelling the
defendants to record all assignments, restitution, compensatory
and punitive damages, and appropriate attorneys' fees and costs.

"We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and
contest all such claims vigorously," the Company said.

Company, and American Security Insurance Company was filed in the

relief, declaratory relief and attorneys' fees and costs.

On July 17, 2015, the parties entered into a settlement agreement
that was approved by the court on January 20, 2016. On February 8,
2016, the Court entered final judgment in the matter. On February
12, 2016, a notice of appeal was filed by an objector of the
approved settlement. The claims administration process remains
ongoing.

demand for arbitration naming nine (9) individual plaintiffs and
dropping the demand for collection action treatment.

"We are party to a collective action arbitration demand under the

Tyrrell, John Jahangani, Louis Andrew Doherty III, Calvin Cooper,
Lemuel Bland and all others similarly situated v. EverBank and
EverBank Financial Corp filed with the American Arbitration

plaintiffs in this collective action arbitration allege that
plaintiffs and the class were (1) improperly classified as exempt
under the FLSA (2) entitled to and not paid overtime and (3) not
paid federally mandated minimum wage. The demand seeks (1) unpaid
back wages, (2) liquidated damages equal to the back pay and (3)
costs of the suit incurred by plaintiff.

"We believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and
intend to contest all such claims vigorously," the Company said.

---------------------------------------------------------
EverBank Financial Corp said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for

the motion for conditional certification.

The Company is a party to a collective action under the Fair Labor

claims. Plaintiff filed a motion for conditional certification on
August 6, 2015, and EverBank filed its opposition on September 14,

on the motion for conditional certification.

FANNIE MAE & FREDDIE MAC: Josh Angel Threatens to Sue Directors
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua J. Angel, Esq., at Herrick, Feinstein LLP, delivered
letters last week to the directors for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Full-text copies of the letters are available at
http://gselinks.com/pdf/Perfidy_Part_3.pdfat no charge.  Mr.
Angel shared copied of his "Government Perfidy and Mismanagement
of the GSEs in Conservatorship" paper released last month that
concludes the U.S. government's implicit guarantee of the GSEs'
preferred stock was always there and still is.

"I have engaged counsel to commence suit against you and the
Company for class redress for breach of fiduciary duty and breach
of contract," Mr. Angel tells the duopoly's directors.  "However,
before directing counsel to proceed I am writing to you in the
hope that litigation can be avoided by your accepting my urging to
to seek and obtain clarification from outside counsel regarding
your duties and liabilites. . . ."  Mr. Angel asks the directors
to respond by Mar. 10, 2016.

Class Action Reporter editors had the opportunity and privilege to
speak with Mr. Angel last week.  Mr. Angel is hopeful the GSEs'
directors will come to their senses; thinks the GSEs' directors
will exercise their fiduciary duties under applicable state law
and obviate the need for protracted litigation; and is optimistic
that Mel Watt at the Federal Housing Finance Administration will
help guide the GSE's directors down that path.

GLAXOSMITHKLINE LLC: Seeks Review of Avandia Class Action Ruling
----------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wolf, Martin Bricketto and Allissa Wickham, writing for
Law360, report that GlaxoSmithKline LLC has asked the U.S. Supreme
Court to review a Third Circuit order sustaining class action
claims of racketeering against the company for allegedly
concealing the risks associated with diabetes drug Avandia to reap
inflated profits from health benefit payors, saying it conflicts
with court precedents and ignores the absence of alleged injuries.

In a Feb. 23 high court petition, GSK said the high court should
review the Third Circuit's October decision allowing union health
and welfare funds to continue pursuing Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act claims against the company because it
conflicts with the Eleventh Circuit's ruling in a similar case --
Ironworkers Local Union 68 v. AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals -- as
well as the decisions of other appellate courts.

The drugmaker argued that the appeals court was incorrect to
conclude that the plaintiffs had advanced a plausible economic
injury -- that GSK concealed and misrepresented Avandia's risks,
leading third-party payors to cover the drug at favorable rates
when it should have been worth less and prescribed at a lower
rate.

The Third Circuit's decision should be reviewed because the
plaintiffs did not allege that the drug was ineffective or injured
any of their beneficiaries and the Eleventh Circuit held in
Ironworkers that a third-party payor cannot sustain a RICO claim
based solely on an allegation that a drug was misrepresented and
that cheaper alternatives were available, GSK said.

Further, the company argued, the circuit court's decision
contravenes circuit court and Supreme Court precedent with regards
to causation, saying that the intervening decisions of prescribing
doctors "break a causal chain and render causation too attenuated"
under authoritative RICO precedents and that the plaintiffs rest
on conclusory evidence of reliance without offering any factual
detail about the alleged Avandia misrepresentations.

"These important issues repeatedly arise in [third-party payor]
suits against drug manufacturers, which comprise a significant and
growing segment of prescription-drug litigation in this country,"
GSK said, urging the court to take up the case.  "The implications
for the entire pharmaceutical industry are enormous -- threatening
virtually limitless liability in many cases in which the drug
worked and none of the TPP's beneficiaries is alleged to have been
injured."

The suits argue that GSK caused third-party payors, such as
employee benefit funds and health insurance carriers, to favor
Avandia as a diabetes treatment on their drug formularies, which
caused the payors to cover a higher percentage of prescription
costs.

Since Avandia was favored on the formularies, doctors prescribed
the drug at a higher rate, the plaintiffs argued.  They claimed
that if GSK hadn't concealed the drug's alleged heart risks, the
payors would have covered cheaper alternatives and ultimately
spent far less.

In October 2013, a trial court judge found that the union benefit
funds had established statutory standing for a RICO claim and that
GSK's purported misrepresentations could plausibly be linked to
excessive coverage payments. The judge later granted an
interlocutory appeal filed by GSK to the Third Circuit.

On appeal, GSK tried to convince the court that the funds were
improperly relying on future events -- that Avandia and related
drugs would prove unsafe or ineffective -- to show RICO standing.
However, the court found that third-party payor's alleged damages
"do not depend on the effectiveness of the Avandia that they
purchased, but rather on the inflationary effect that GSK's
allegedly fraudulent behavior had on the price of Avandia."

The Third Circuit also found that the funds have so far linked
GSK's alleged conduct and that injury.

In an email to Law360 on March 2, plaintiffs' attorney James R.
Dugan II said his side believes the matter has already been
correctly determined twice, giving them confidence the high court
will decline to hear the case.

"Both the district court and the court of appeals were right on
the interpretation of the case as it relates to the law and we see
no reason why the Supreme Court would look at this issue again,"
he said.

18, 2015. The amended complaint included claims made under
California's False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law
relating to the sale of our Ignition for iOS application, or the

sought restitution, damages in an unspecified amount, attorney's
fees and costs, and unspecified equitable and injunctive relief.
On January 27, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern

dismissed all of the Ignition Plaintiffs' claims."

AbbVie Products LLC) and others are consolidated for pre-trial
purposes in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Georgia under the Multi-District Litigation (MDL)
Rules as In re: AndroGel Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2084.

These cases, brought by private plaintiffs and the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC), generally allege Solvay's 2006 patent litigation
involving AndroGel was sham litigation and the patent litigation
settlement agreement and related agreements with three generic
companies violate federal and state antitrust laws and state
consumer protection and unjust enrichment laws. Plaintiffs
generally seek monetary damages and/or injunctive relief and
attorneys' fees.

MDL No. 2084 includes:

     (a) four individual plaintiff lawsuits;

     (b) six purported class actions; and

     (c) Federal Trade Commission v. Watson Pharmaceuticals,
         Inc. et al.

Following the district court's dismissal of all plaintiffs'
claims, appellate proceedings led to the reinstatement of the
claims regarding the patent litigation settlement, which are
proceeding in discovery in the district court.

The Attorney General of the State of Alaska has served AbbVie with
a Civil Investigative Demand, primarily seeking documents that
AbbVie produced in these lawsuits.

AbbVie is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company.

PPL CORP: Discovery Pending in Cane Run Environmental Cases
-----------------------------------------------------------
PPL Corporation, PPL Electric Utilities Corporation, LG&E and KU
Energy LLC, Louisville Gas and Electric Company, and Kentucky
Utilities Company said in their Form 10-K Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that certain discovery
matters are before the district court related to the Cane Run
environmental claims.

In December 2013, six residents, on behalf of themselves and
others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against
LG&E and PPL in the U.S. District Court for the Western District
of Kentucky alleging violations of the Clean Air Act and Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976. In addition, these
plaintiffs assert common law claims of nuisance, trespass and
negligence. These plaintiffs seek injunctive relief and civil
penalties, plus costs and attorney fees, for the alleged statutory
violations. Under the common law claims, these plaintiffs seek
monetary compensation and punitive damages for property damage and
diminished property values for a class consisting of residents
within four miles of the plant. In their individual capacities,
these plaintiffs seek compensation for alleged adverse health
effects.

In response to a motion to dismiss filed by PPL and LG&E, in July
2014, the court dismissed the plaintiffs' RCRA claims and all but
one Clean Air Act claim, but declined to dismiss their common law
tort claims. Upon motion of LG&E and PPL, the district court
certified for appellate review the issue of whether the state
common law claims are preempted by federal statute.

In December 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
issued an order granting appellate review regarding the above
matter. Oral argument before the Sixth Circuit was held in August
2015.

In November 2015, the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion affirming
the District Court's ruling that plaintiffs' state law claims are
not preempted by the Clean Air Act and remanding the matter to the
District Court for further proceedings. Certain discovery matters
are currently before the District Court.

PPL, LKE and LG&E cannot predict the outcome of this matter. LG&E
retired one coal-fired unit at the Cane Run plant in March 2015
and the remaining two coal-fired units at the plant in June 2015.

PPL Corporation, headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is a
utility holding company that was incorporated in 1994. PPL,
through its regulated utility subsidiaries, delivers electricity
to customers in the U.K., Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia and
Tennessee; delivers natural gas to customers in Kentucky; and
generates electricity from power plants in Kentucky.


PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL: "Huffman" Plaintiffs Seek Class Status
------------------------------------------------------------
Prudential Financial, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that plaintiffs in the
case, Huffman v. The Prudential Insurance Company of America,
filed a motion for class certification in February 2016.

In September 2010, Huffman v. The Prudential Insurance Company of
America, a purported nationwide class action brought on behalf of
beneficiaries of group life insurance contracts owned by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA")-governed
employee welfare benefit plans was filed in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
challenging the use of retained asset accounts in employee welfare
benefit plans to settle death benefit claims as a violation of
ERISA and seeking injunctive relief and disgorgement of profits.

In July 2011, the Company's motion for judgment on the pleadings
was denied. In February 2012, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify
the class. In April 2012, the Court stayed the case pending the
outcome of a case involving another insurer that is before the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

In August 2014, the Court lifted the stay, and in September 2014,
Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to amend the complaint. In
July 2015, the Court granted plaintiffs' motion to file an amended
complaint. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint added two new class
representatives, a new common law breach of fiduciary duty claim,
and a prohibited transactions claim under Section 406(a)(1)(C) of
ERISA. In August 2015, the Company filed its answer to the First
Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs' motion for class certification was
filed in February 2016.

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL: Dismissal of "Lederman" Under Appeal
----------------------------------------------------------
Prudential Financial, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that the remaining
plaintiffs in the case, Lederman v. Prudential Financial, Inc., et
al., have taken an appeal before the New Jersey Superior Court -
Appellate Division, from the dismissal of their case.

From November 2002 to March 2005, 11 separate complaints were
filed against the Company and the law firm of Leeds, Morelli &
Brown in New Jersey state court and in the New Jersey Superior
Court, Essex County as Lederman v. Prudential Financial, Inc., et
al. The complaints allege that an alternative dispute resolution
agreement entered into among Prudential Insurance, over 235
claimants who are current and former Prudential Insurance
employees, and Leeds, Morelli & Brown (the law firm representing
the claimants) was illegal and that Prudential Insurance conspired
with Leeds, Morelli & Brown to commit fraud, malpractice, breach
of contract, and violate racketeering laws by advancing legal fees
to the law firm with the purpose of limiting Prudential's
liability to the claimants.

In February 2010, the New Jersey Supreme Court assigned the cases
for centralized case management to the Superior Court, Bergen
County. The Company participated in a court-ordered mediation that
resulted in a settlement involving 193 of the remaining 235
plaintiffs. The amounts paid to the 193 plaintiffs were within
existing reserves for this matter.

In December 2013, the Company participated in court-ordered
mediation that resulted in a December 2013 settlement involving 40
of the remaining 42 plaintiffs with litigation against the
Company, including plaintiffs who had not yet appealed the
dismissal of their claims. The amounts paid to the 40 plaintiffs
were within existing reserves for this matter.

In July 2014, the Court granted the Company's summary judgment
motion dismissing with prejudice the complaint of one of the two
remaining plaintiffs asserting claims against the Company. In
August 2014, an appeal was filed from the Court's summary judgment
decision.

In January 2015, the New Jersey Appellate Division dismissed the
appeal without prejudice. In March 2015, the court granted the
Company summary judgment and dismissed with prejudice the
complaint of the remaining plaintiff with claims against the
Company.

In October 2015, the Company settled with one of the two
plaintiffs remaining with claims against the Company. In November
2015, the remaining plaintiff filed an appeal with the New Jersey
Superior Court - Appellate Division.

2016, filed a motion to dismiss the "Wood II, et al." complaint.

Retirement Saving Non-Union Plan and Maya Shaw on behalf of the
Exco Resources, Inc. 401(k) Plan and all other similarly situated

complaint: (1) seeks certification of a class of all ERISA-covered
employee pension benefit plans whose plan assets were invested in
group annuity contract stable value funds within 6 years prior to,
on, or after December 3, 2015; and (2) alleges that PRIAC breached
its fiduciary obligations and accepted excessive compensation by
crediting rates on the stable value accounts that are less than
PRIAC's internal rate of return on those plan assets without
disclosing this spread to the plans.

complaint: (1) seeks certification of a class of all ERISA-covered

maintained a contractual relationship based on a group annuity
contract or group funding agreement; and (2) alleges that the
defendants breached their fiduciary obligations by accepting
revenue sharing payments from investment vehicles in its separate
accounts and/or by accepting excessive compensation by crediting
rates on stable value accounts that are less that PRIAC's internal
rate of return.

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL: Still Defends "Bouder" Complaint
------------------------------------------------------
Prudential Financial, Inc. continues to defend the "Bouder" class
action lawsuit, the Company said in its Form 10-K Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016,
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

In October 2006, a purported class action lawsuit, Bouder v.
Prudential Financial, Inc. and Prudential Insurance Company of
America, was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey, claiming that Prudential failed to pay
overtime to insurance agents in violation of federal and
Pennsylvania law, and that improper deductions were made from
these agents' wages in violation of state law. The complaint
sought back overtime pay and statutory damages, recovery of
improper deductions, interest, and attorneys' fees.  In March
2008, the court conditionally certified a nationwide class on the
federal overtime claim.

Separately, in March 2008, a purported nationwide class action
lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of California, Wang v. Prudential Financial,
Inc. and Prudential Insurance, claiming that the Company failed to
pay its agents overtime and provide other benefits in violation of
California and federal law and seeking compensatory and punitive
damages in unspecified amounts.

In September 2008, Wang was transferred to the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey and consolidated
with the Bouder matter. Subsequent amendments to the complaint
resulted in additional allegations involving purported violations
of an additional nine states' overtime and wage payment laws.

In February 2010, Prudential moved to decertify the federal
overtime class that had been conditionally certified in March 2008
and moved for summary judgment on the federal overtime claims of
the named plaintiffs. In July 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion for
class certification of the state law claims. In August 2010, the
district court granted Prudential's motion for summary judgment,
dismissing the federal overtime claims.

In January 2013, the Court denied plaintiffs' motion for class
certification in its entirety. In July 2013, the Court granted
plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration, permitting plaintiffs to
file a motion to certify a class of employee insurance agents
seeking recovery under state wage and hour laws.

In September 2013, plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for class
certification.

In February 2015, the federal District Court for New Jersey
granted in part, and denied in part, plaintiffs' renewed class
certification motion. It certified for class treatment plaintiffs'
wage payment claims which include allegations that the Company
made improper deductions from the wages of its former common law
agents in California, New York, and Pennsylvania, and its
financial services associates in California and New York. The
Court denied plaintiffs' attempt to certify a class based on the
Company's alleged failure to pay overtime to its former common law
agents and its financial services associates in California,
Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. In March 2015, the Company
filed a motion requesting that the Court reconsider its decision
to partially grant plaintiffs' renewed class certification motion
with regard to its former common law agents.

No further updates were provided in the Company's Form 10-K
report.

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL: Appeal in Retirement Fund Case May Proceed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Prudential Financial, Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that in the case, City of
Sterling Heights General Employees' Retirement System v.
Prudential Financial, Inc., et al., the defendants' petition to
file an appeal has been granted.

In August 2012, a purported class action lawsuit, was filed in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey,
alleging violations of federal securities law. The complaint names
as defendants the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Chief
Financial Officer, the Principal Accounting Officer and certain
members of the Company's Board of Directors. The complaint alleges
that knowingly false and misleading statements were made regarding
the Company's current and future financial condition based on,
among other things, the alleged failure to disclose: (i) potential
liability for benefits that should either have been paid to
policyholders or their beneficiaries, or escheated to applicable
states; and (ii) the extent of the Company's exposure for alleged
state and federal law violations concerning the settlement of
claims and the escheatment of unclaimed property. The complaint
seeks an undetermined amount of damages, interest, attorneys' fees
and costs.

In May 2013, the complaint was amended to add three additional
putative institutional investors as lead plaintiffs: National
Shopmen Pension Fund, The Heavy & General Laborers' Locals 472 &
172 Pension & Annuity Funds, and Roofers Local No. 149 Pension
Fund. In June 2013, the Company moved to dismiss the amended
complaint.

In February 2014, the Court denied the Company's motion to
dismiss. In July 2014, plaintiffs' filed a motion to certify a
class comprised of investors who purchased shares of the Company's
Common Stock between May 5, 2010 and November 4, 2011. That motion
was subsequently withdrawn and refiled in December 2014.

In August 2015, Plaintiffs' class certification motion was
granted. In September 2015, defendants filed a petition with the
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit seeking
permission to file an appeal from the order certifying a class. In
January 2016, the defendants' petition to file an appeal was
granted.

SCOTT MEDICAL: EEOC Files Sex Discrimination Suit in Philadelphia
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PennRecord.com reports that the United States Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on March 1 it filed its
first federal sex discrimination lawsuits based on sexual
orientation.

The EEOC's Philadelphia District Office filed suit in the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against
Scott Medical Health Center of Pittsburgh, and, in a separate
suit, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland's
Baltimore Division against Pallet Companies, which does business
as IFCO Systems NA.

Per its lawsuit versus Scott Medical Health Center, the EEOC
claimed a gay male employee was harassed because of his sexual
orientation.  The agency said the male employee's manager
repeatedly used anti-gay language in reference to him and made
other offensive comments about his sexuality and sex life.

According to the lawsuit, when the employee in question complained
to the clinic director, the director responded the manager was
"just doing his job," and did not act to put a stop to the
harassment.  Following weeks of these alleged comments from the
manager, the employee quit instead of being subject to further
harassment.

In the action against IFCO Systems, the EEOC charged a lesbian
employee was harassed by her supervisor, also because of her
sexual orientation.  Per the suit, her supervisor allegedly made
numerous comments to her regarding her sexual orientation and
appearance, such as "I want to turn you back into a woman" and
"You would look good in a dress," according to the suit.

At one point, the supervisor allegedly "blew a kiss at her and
circled his tongue at her in a suggestive manner."  The employee
in question complained to management and called an employee
hotline about the harassment, but the EEOC's suit said IFCO fired
the female employee several days later, supposedly in retaliation
for making the complaints.

According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, sex-based
discrimination in the workplace is illegal.  It is the EEOC's view
that harassment and other discrimination because of sexual
orientation qualifies as prohibited sex discrimination.

Both lawsuits were brought under Title VII, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sex, as well as retaliation. In
both the case against Scott Medical Health Center (Case 2:16-cv-
00225) and the case against IFCO Systems (Case 1:16-cv-00595), the
EEOC made initial attempts at pre-litigation settlement before
filing suit.

In a decision reached last July, the EEOC determined that sexual
orientation discrimination is, by its very nature, discrimination
because of sex.

"With the filing of these two suits, EEOC is continuing to
solidify its commitment to ensuring that individuals are not
discriminated against in workplaces because of their sexual
orientation," EEOC General Counsel David Lopez said.  "While some
federal courts have begun to recognize this right under Title VII,
it is critical that all courts do so."

Robin E. Shea, of Constangy Brooks Smith & Prophete in Winston-
Salem, N.C., is both a firm partner and attorney with more than 20
years of experience in employment discrimination litigation,
specifically regarding Title VII and other related legislation.
Ms. Shea commented on the EEOC's filing of both lawsuits.

"Historically, the EEOC took the position that Title VII did not
cover sexual orientation or gender identity," Ms. Shea said.  "In
the last couple of years, they've taken a more expansive view of
the Title VII sex discrimination prohibitions, and they've changed
their position."

Ms. Shea said the EEOC's new stance with respect to gender
identity is that discrimination on that basis is a form of "sex
stereotyping" and also illegal.

"Their position is that it's a form of sex discrimination," Ms.
Shea added.  "I think the EEOC has been looking for an opportunity
to expand Title VII to include sexual orientation, but they hadn't
really had an opportunity to do it until recently."

Ms. Shea labeled this position as a "new interpretation" of Title
VII, and an attempt on the part of the EEOC to update the view of
the law for modern times.

Ms. Shea stated the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a separate
law under consideration in the U.S. Congress for more than 20
years without passage, would have covered sexual orientation-based
discrimination if adopted.

"The EEOC may also just be thinking, well, here's a way to get
sexual orientation protected," Ms. Shea said.

Ms. Shea said if both of the EEOC's lawsuits proceed to a judicial
resolution, they have the potential for "significant precedential
effect" in future interpretation of Title VII.

"It's very possible that the employers in these cases will go
ahead and settle," Ms. Shea said.  "A lot of employers really
don't want to fight this, and a lot of employers already have
their own company policies prohibiting discrimination based on
sexual orientation.  If they feel one of their employees violated
those policies, I think they'd be inclined to settle the case.  It
could be that these two cases will settle way before we have any
kind of judicial decision."

With Pennsylvania included as part of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit and Maryland included in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Ms. Shea said the new EEOC cases
may influence similar litigation years down the road in those
jurisdictions.

of all purchasers of the Sempra securities between May 14, 2015
and November 23, 2016, inclusive.  According to the Plaintiffs,
during the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false and
misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operation,

SOCAL GAS: Bid to Halt Gas Leak Housing Costs Denied
----------------------------------------------------
Brian Melley, writing for The Associated Press, reports that a
California appeals court rejected efforts on March 2 by a utility
to stop housing Los Angeles residents driven from their homes by a
gas leak that lasted almost four months.

The 2nd District Court of Appeal denied a petition by Southern
California Gas Co. to reconsider a judge's order requiring the
company to extend paying short-term housing costs and other
expenses until March 18.

As residents in short-term housing were to return home on
Feb. 25, lawyers for Los Angeles County successfully won the
extension so the public health department could test homes to make
sure it was safe to return.

The company said it was spending about $2 million a day for
housing, but Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said health risks to
residents outweighed the gas company's costs.

The gas company appealed, saying public health officials had
already determined air quality had returned to safe levels near
its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.

Thousands of residents moved out of the Porter Ranch area during
the 16-week leak and many complained of nausea, headaches,
nosebleeds and other symptoms. Some who returned home after the
leak was sealed said they continued to suffer from maladies.

SoCalGas said it was disappointed with the decision because it
conflicts with independent scientific analysis and creates more
uncertainty in the community.

The leak, which scientists said was the largest known methane
release in U.S. history, uprooted 6,400 families.

The court case doesn't affect displaced residents who leased homes
and apartments as late as April 30.


SPEEDPAY INC: Continues to Defend "Pincus" Action
-------------------------------------------------
The Western Union Company said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that SpeedPay, Inc.,
continues to defend Caryn Pincus class action.

On February 10, 2015, Caryn Pincus filed a purported class action
lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida against Speedpay, Inc. ("Speedpay"), a
subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims based on allegations
that Speedpay imposed an unlawful surcharge on credit card
transactions and that Speedpay engages in money transmission
without a license. The complaint requests certification of a class
and two subclasses generally comprised of consumers in Florida who
made a payment through Speedpay's bill payment services using a
credit card and were charged a surcharge for such payment during
the four-year and five-year periods prior to the filing of the
complaint through the date of class certification.

On April 6, 2015, Speedpay filed a motion to dismiss the
complaint. On April 23, 2015, in response to the motion to
dismiss, Pincus filed an amended complaint that adds claims (1)
under the Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act, which
authorizes civil remedies for certain criminal conduct; and (2)
for violation of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act.

On May 15, 2015, Speedpay filed a motion to dismiss the amended
complaint. On October 6, 2015, the Court entered an order denying
Speedpay's motion to dismiss.

On October 20, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the amended
complaint. On December 1, 2015, Pincus filed a second amended
complaint that revised her factual allegations, but added no new
claims. On December 18, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the
second amended complaint.

"As this action is in a preliminary stage, the Company is unable
to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if
any, which could be associated with this action. Speedpay intends
to vigorously defend itself in this matter," the Company said.

The Western Union Company is a leader in global money movement and
payment services, providing people and businesses with fast,
reliable and convenient ways to send money and make payments
around the world.

UBER: May Face Damages, Fines in France as Trial Wraps Up
---------------------------------------------------------
Philippe Sotto, writing for The Associated Press, reports that
Uber risks millions of euros in damages and fines and having two
top executives banned from running the ride-hailing company in
France as a trial wrapped up Thursday in a Paris court.

The San Francisco-based company is in trouble in France over its
now-suspended low-cost UberPop service, which connected clients to
non-professional drivers, infuriated French taxi drivers and
prompted the criminal charges.  Uber continues to operate its
standard service with registered professional drivers.

A Paris court wrapped up a protracted, high-profile trial on
Feb. 25 targeting Thibaud Simphal, general manager for France, and
Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, chief for Europe, Middle East and
Africa.  The verdict will be delivered June 9.

They are accused of complicity in practicing an illegal taxi
activity.  Charges also include deceptive commercial activity and
violation of French privacy law by illegally stocking, processing
and recording personal information about the self-employed drivers
who work with Uber.

The charges could potentially carry prison terms, but the
prosecutor did not recommend prison in her closing arguments. She
asked for the two executives to be banned from managing, running
or heading any companies in France for five years.  She also
called for a 1 million euro ($1.1 million) fine against Uber
France, a 70,000 euro ($77,000) fine for Mr. Gore-Coty and a
50,000 euro ($55,000) fine for Simphal.

Dozens of taxi unions, associations and drivers are seeking more
than 100 million euros in damages overall.

Their lawyers argue that traditional taxi drivers are losing
business due to unfair competition by non-professional drivers.
They claimed during the trial that Uber sidesteps taxes, social
charges and licensing fees and works with unregistered, badly-
trained and improperly-insured drivers.

During the sometimes heated hearings, Uber was called names like
"monster," "thug" or "weasel."

In a rare mea culpa, Mr. Gore-Coty acknowledged in a statement on
his LinkedIn profile that "Uber sometimes went too far" in
"challenging the status quo" in the taxi industry, which "made us
appear as unnecessarily aggressive rather than constructive."  The
27-year-old manager added, "Paris has a pretty special place in
Uber's heart."

During the trial, lawyers for Uber argued Messrs. Simphal and
Gore-Coty are not the legal representatives for Uber in France,
have no such mandate from the shareholders and are only salaried
managers dealing mostly with marketing and advertising.

They said the people in the company actually responsible for
connecting users with UberPop drivers are those who organized the
app-based service, without naming anyone in specific.  Gore-Coty
and Uber's Europe operations are based in the Netherlands.

Uber lawyers also maintained the French agency that specializes in
privacy violations has never put the company on notice for any
breaches and never initiated any lawsuits.

More than 200 UberPop drivers have been fined under fast-track
procedures in France, and the company has already been convicted
of deceptive commercial practices and fined 150,000 euros
($170,000) over UberPop by a Paris court.  This is the first trial
for Uber managers in France.

The French Parliament voted to outlaw UberPop and other similar
services in 2014, and Uber suspended its UberPop service in France
last July.  But its standard app-based service still prompts
occasional strikes and clashes with taxi drivers, reflecting
larger tensions between long-regulated industries and the
borderless, online economy.

In Spain and Italy, Uber is outlawed entirely.


UBER: Fails to Cooperate with NLRB Probe, Officials Allege
----------------------------------------------------------
Cole Stangler, writing for International Business Times, reports
that federal officials have accused Uber in new court filings of
failing to cooperate with an investigation into whether its
drivers are employees or independent contractors.

Over the past few months the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
has asked the ride-hailing giant to hand over a wide range of
documents about the company's employment practices after receiving
several closely related complaints from drivers last year.  In the
complaints, workers allege that Uber's contracts barring drivers
from pursuing class-action lawsuits violate federal labor law.
Before the board can rule on that question, however, it has to
first determine that the drivers are
employees -- not independent contractors, as the company
maintains.  Only employees are covered by the law.

Apparently, the NLRB probe hasn't made much headway: Uber, it
says, is not cooperating.  On March 1, the agency asked a federal
judge in California to force the company to comply with two
subpoenas it issued last December.

The subpoenas request information about Uber's application
process, its training of drivers, monitoring of drivers, app
management, driver ratings and fares.  According to the NLRB, the
company has only provided limited information related to the
individual drivers who filed complaints with the agency.

"To date, [Uber] has only provided the licensing agreements they
entered into, their emails to and from respondent's service desk,
and a one-page policy on service animals," NLRB Attorney Carmen
Leon said in court filings.  "Respondent has not complied with a
majority of requests in both subpoenas and has impeded the ability
of the board to complete its investigation of the charges pending
before the board."

Uber has faced increased scrutiny over its business model --
especially its insistence that drivers are independent
contractors, not employees.  Independent contractors are not
protected by regulations such as mandatory overtime pay and
company reimbursements for job-related expenses like fuel and
maintenance.  Critics say the San Francisco-based company
improperly classifies workers as contractors in order to keep
labor costs low.

In a separate legal challenge, Uber faces a class-action lawsuit
from drivers in California who accuse the company of
misclassifying workers and dodging costs like overtime pay. That
case is slated to go to trial June 20.

Like that looming showdown, Uber's clash with the NLRB could have
potentially wide-reaching consequences.

A determination from the labor board that Uber drivers are in fact
employees would open the door for the company to face charges of
unfair labor practices and the prospects of unionization.

Labor unions have shown some interest in organizing Uber drivers:
Last month, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
Local 1430, filed for an election to represent hundreds of drivers
at LaGuardia Airport in New York --but it eventually agreed to put
the brakes on the campaign after other unions raised strategic
concerns.

Rebecca Smith, deputy director of the left-leaning National
Employment Law Project, said that a ruling from the NLRB that Uber
drivers are employees could affect other workers in the
so-called on-demand economy: Many workers at the nation's growing
crop of app-based companies are classified as independent
contractors, including those at Uber's chief competitor, Lyft.

Such a ruling would not only suggest other on-demand economy
workers are protected by the National Labor Relations Act,
Ms. Smith said, but might also suggest this group of workers
should be covered by other key work-related regulations.

"Because the [National Labor Relations Act] has a more stringent
test than many other statutes, such a conclusion could cut off any
debate on whether on-demand workers are 'employees' for purposes
of minimum wage, overtime pay, worker's compensation and
unemployment insurance," Ms. Smith said.

VOLKSWAGEN AG: Denies Allegations on Emissions Disclosure Issues
----------------------------------------------------------------
Geir Moulson, writing for The Associated Press, reports that
Volkswagen on March 2 rejected allegations that it didn't go
public early enough with information on its emissions-rigging
scandal.

The company faces suits at a court in Braunschweig, Germany, from
shareholders.  They argue that, under German law, it should have
disclosed information two weeks before it did.  Volkswagen said
that it "considers the German shareholder lawsuits to be without
merit."

News of the scandal broke on Sept. 18 when the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency said Volkswagen had installed software on
482,000 cars that enabled them to cheat on emissions tests.  On
Sept. 22, Volkswagen said about 11 million diesel vehicles
worldwide were fitted with the software.

The company's shares were battered by the announcements.

VW said in a statement that until Sept. 18 "there were no
indications whatsoever of information with relevance for the stock
price" since the expectation was that only a "manageable" number
of vehicles was affected, that the matter could be contained by
"measures that were common in such cases" and that "fines in a
two-digit or lower three-digit million amount would be imposed."

The company said it "promptly" reported the global risks once it
had a "reliable data basis."

Longtime CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned on Sept. 23, saying he was
acting in the interests of the company but wasn't "aware of any
wrongdoing on my part."

The EPA was alerted to high emissions in VW cars by a 2014 report
from the International Council on Clean Transportation.

In the March 2 statement, Volkswagen said a memo about the ICCT
study was prepared for Mr. Winterkorn on May 23, 2014, and
"included in his extensive weekend mail."  It said that "whether
and to which extent Mr. Winterkorn took notice of this memo at
that time is not documented."

In November 2014, it said, Mr. Winterkorn received another memo
that reported on "several then-current product defect cases" and
mentioned a cost of some 20 million euros ($22 million) for "the
diesel issue in North America." The diesel matter didn't initially
receive "particular attention" at management level, it added.

On July 27 last year, "individual Volkswagen employees" discussed
the diesel issue on the sidelines of a regular meeting attended by
Mr. Winterkorn and VW brand chief Herbert Diess, Volkswagen said.
It added that details haven't yet been reconstructed and it's
unclear whether the participants understood that the software
modification violated U.S. environmental regulations.

Mr. Winterkorn, it said, "asked for further clarification of the
issue."

Explanations from VW technicians at the end of August led the
management board to realize that the software modification
constituted a banned "defeat device" under U.S. law, Volkswagen
said, and the company acknowledged the deception to U.S.
regulators on Sept. 3.


WAL-MART STORES: Faces "Schulze" Suit Over Parmesan Cheese
----------------------------------------------------------
Beverly Schulze, Plaintiff, on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Defendant, Case No.
3:16-cv-00208 (S.D. Ill., February 26, 2016), alleges that
Plaintiff and the members of the Class purchased Wal-Mart's "100%"
Parmesan cheese products because they were deceived into believing
that the products were 100% Parmesan cheese, but that Wal-Mart's
"100%" Parmesan cheese products contain a substantial amount of
fillers and are not "100%" Parmesan cheese.

WESTERN UNION: Plaintiffs Voluntarily Dismiss Shareholder Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Western Union Company said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that the plaintiffs in a
consolidated shareholder class action lawsuit notified the court
on February 5, 2016, that a witness on whom they had relied in
bringing their claims did not have firsthand knowledge of events
occurring at Western Union during calendar year 2012, and that
without the witness' support of their claims the consolidated
amended complaint would not have survived the defendants' motion
to dismiss. The same day, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the
consolidated amended complaint with prejudice.

On December 10, 2013, City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement
System filed a purported class action complaint in the United
States District Court for the District of Colorado against The
Western Union Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer
and a former executive officer of the Company, asserting claims
under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Exchange Act") and Securities and Exchange Commission rule
10b-5 against all defendants.

On September 26, 2014, the Court appointed SEB Asset Management
S.A. and SEB Investment Management AB as lead plaintiffs. On
October 27, 2014, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended
class action complaint, which asserts the same claims as the
original complaint, except that it brings the claims under section
20(a) of the Exchange Act only against the individual defendants.
The consolidated amended complaint also adds as a defendant
another former executive officer of the Company.

The consolidated amended complaint alleges that, during the
purported class period, February 7, 2012 through October 30, 2012,
defendants made false or misleading statements or failed to
disclose adverse material facts known to them, including those
regarding: (1) the competitive advantage the Company derived from
its compliance program; (2) the Company's ability to increase
market share, make limited price adjustments and withstand
competitive pressures; (3) the effect of compliance measures under
the Southwest Border Agreement on agent retention and business in
Mexico; and (4) the Company's progress in implementing an anti-
money laundering program for the Southwest Border Area.

On December 11, 2014, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
consolidated amended complaint. The Court referred the motion to a
Magistrate Judge, who, on April 14, 2015, issued a report and
recommendation, which recommended that the defendants' motion to
dismiss be granted and that the consolidated amended complaint be
dismissed in full.

On April 28, 2015, plaintiffs filed objections to the report and
recommendation. On September 29, 2015, the Court (a) overruled in
part and sustained in part plaintiffs' objections to the report
and recommendation; (b) adopted in part the recommendation; (c)
granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion to dismiss
the consolidated amended complaint; and (d) dismissed the claims
against one of the individual defendants and denied the motion as
to the remaining defendants. In particular, the Court denied the
motion to dismiss as to certain statements made by the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer and a former executive
officer during an investor conference call on July 24, 2012,
related to category (3) above concerning the effect of compliance
measures under the Southwest Border Agreement on agent retention
and business in Mexico.

On November 3, 2015, defendants filed an answer to the
consolidated amended complaint.

WESTERN UNION: Settlement in Douglas Action Has Preliminary OK
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Western Union Company said in its Form 10-K Report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that a court has granted
preliminary approval of the settlement reached in the class action
by Jason Douglas.

On March 12, 2014, Jason Douglas filed a purported class action
complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois asserting a claim under the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. Sec. 227, et seq., based on
allegations that since 2009, the Company has sent text messages to
class members' wireless telephones without their consent.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company's insurance carrier
and the plaintiff reached an agreement to create an $8.5 million
settlement fund that will be used to pay all class member claims,
class counsel's fees and the costs of administering the
settlement. The agreement has been signed by the parties and, on
November 10, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval to the
settlement.

The Company accrued an amount equal to the retention under its
insurance policy in previous quarters and believes that any
amounts in excess of this accrual will be covered by the insurer.
However, if the Company's insurer is unable to or refuses to
satisfy its obligations under the policy or the parties are unable
to reach a definitive agreement or otherwise agree on a
resolution, the Company's financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows could be adversely impacted. As the
parties have reached an agreement in this matter, the Company
believes that the potential for additional loss in excess of
amounts already accrued is remote.

fast, reliable and convenient ways to send money and make payments
around the world.


ZYNGA INC: Securities Class Suit Deal Has Final Approval
--------------------------------------------------------
Zynga Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015, that a California court has granted final
approval of the settlement in the securities class action lawsuit
and the settlement was funded entirely by insurance.

On July 30, 2012, a purported securities class action captioned
DeStefano v. Zynga Inc. et al., Case No. 3: 12-cv-04007-JSW, was
filed in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California against the Company, and certain of our
current and former directors, officers, and executives. Additional
purported securities class actions containing similar allegations
were filed in the Northern District.

On September 26, 2012, the court consolidated various of the class
actions as In re Zynga Inc. Securities Litigation, Lead Case No.
12-cv-04007-JSW. On January 23, 2013, the court entered an order
appointing a lead plaintiff and approving lead plaintiff's
selection of lead counsel. On April 3, 2013, the lead plaintiff
and another named plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint. On
February 25, 2014, the court granted the defendants' motion to
dismiss the consolidated complaint and provided plaintiffs leave
to file an amended complaint.

The lead plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint on March 31,
2014. The First Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants
violated the federal securities laws by issuing false or
misleading statements regarding the Company's business and
financial projections. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of
persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's
securities between February 14, 2012 and July 25, 2012. The First
Amended Complaint asserts claims for unspecified damages, and an
award of costs and expenses to the putative class, including
attorneys' fees.

On March 25, 2015, the Court issued an order denying the
defendants' motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint. On
April 28, 2015, the Court denied the defendants' motion for leave
to seek reconsideration of that order.

On June 12, 2015, the Court entered a scheduling order setting
certain pretrial deadlines leading up to a hearing on any
dispositive motions scheduled for May 12, 2017. On June 24, 2015,
pursuant to a stipulation among the parties, the consolidated
class actions were reassigned to Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott
Corley for all further proceedings.

Pursuant to court order, a mediation session was conducted before
the Honorable Edward Infante (Ret.) on August 4, 2015. The parties
reached an agreement in principle to settle In re Zynga Inc.
Securities Litigation as to all defendants for $23.0 million. The
parties negotiated and executed a final stipulation of settlement
and on October 2, 2015, lead plaintiff's counsel filed an
unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. In
response to issues raised by the Court at an October 8, 2015
hearing and in an October 9, 2015 order, on October 15, 2015, lead
plaintiff's counsel revised the papers in support of preliminary
approval and filed a supplemental submission in support of lead
plaintiff's unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the
settlement.

On October 27, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval of the
class action settlement. On February 11, 2016, the court conducted
a final fairness hearing and entered an order granting the motion
for final approval of the settlement. The settlement was funded
entirely by insurance and will result in the dismissal of all
claims against the defendants. Accordingly there will be no impact
to Zynga's financial statements.

ZYNGA INC: No Schedule for Further Proceedings in "Lee" Case
------------------------------------------------------------
Zynga Inc. said in its Form 10-K Report filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015, that the Delaware Chancery Court has not
yet entered a schedule for further proceedings in the case, Lee v.
Pincus et al.

On April 4, 2013, a purported class action captioned Lee v.
Pincus, et al. was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware against the Company, and certain of our current and
former directors, officers, and executives. The complaint alleges
that the defendants breached fiduciary duties in connection with
the release of certain lock-up agreements entered into in
connection with the Company's initial public offering. The
plaintiff seeks to represent a class of certain of the Company's
shareholders who were subject to the lock-up agreements and who
were not permitted to sell shares in an April 2012 secondary
offering.

On January 17, 2014, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On
March 6, 2014, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended
complaint and a motion to stay discovery while the motions to
dismiss were pending. On November 14, 2014, the court denied the
motion to dismiss brought by Zynga and the directors and granted
the motion to dismiss brought by the underwriters who had been
named as defendants.

On June 24, 2015, certain of the defendants filed a motion for
relief from the court's November 14, 2014 decision denying the
defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint. Briefing on the
motion for relief from the court's November 14, 2014 decision is
complete. A hearing date has not been set.

On August 19, 2015 the parties agreed to voluntarily dismiss three
individual director defendants from the case.  Plaintiff filed a
motion for class certification on July 13, 2015, and, after
briefing was completed, the court held a hearing on plaintiff's
motion on November 20, 2015. On December 30, 2015, the court
granted plaintiff's motion for class certification. The court has
not yet entered a schedule for further proceedings in this action.

Although it is reasonably possible that our assessment of the
possibility of loss could change in the near term due to one or
more confirming events, the Company believes it has meritorious
defenses in the Lee v. Pincus class action and will vigorously
defend this action. Furthermore, given that we are in the early
stages of the litigation process, we are unable to estimate the
range of potential loss, if any.

* Scalia's Absence Impacts Decision on Key Class Action Issues
--------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Bronstad, writing for The National Law Journal, reports
that the U.S. Supreme Court has denied a petition to review a
closely watched consumer case, raising speculation among the
defense bar that Justice Antonin Scalia's absence could make it
harder to get key class action issues decided.


* Tech Companies May Face Reverse Discrimination Claims
-------------------------------------------------------
Marlisse Silver Sweeney, writing for Law.com, reports that a white
male employee at Yahoo Inc. recently hit the tech giant with a
reverse discrimination lawsuit.  One lesson from the case is that,
in their bid to become more diverse, tech companies may open
themselves up to reverse discrimination claims, writes Epstein
Becker & Green associate Daniel Green -- djgreen@ebglaw.com -- in
a recent blog post.

The good news is that companies can proactively mitigate the risk
of a reverse discrimination lawsuit. Green argues that companies
should focus on promoting diversity through recruitment, as
opposed to terminations.  He notes that, "in fiscal year 2015, the
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received more than
nine times as many race and sex discrimination complaints alleging
wrongful termination as complaints alleging failure to hire."

Another way to minimize risk is to ask employees to sign a release
as part of their severance package.  "Before initiating a
reduction in force, conduct due diligence regarding each employee
who will be impacted," Mr. Green suggests.  "This will provide an
opportunity to negotiate release agreements with particularly
high-risk employees."
