ACUITY BRAND: "De La Torre" Suit Remanded
-----------------------------------------
In the case, EDUARDO DE LA TORRE, Plaintiff, v. ACUITY BRAND
LIGHTING, INC. Defendant, No. ED CV 16-00525 TJH (KKx), (C.D.
Calif.), Senior District Judge Terry J. Hatter, Jr. granted
Plaintiff's motion to remand after Defendant failed to establish
requirement provided under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA).

The Defendant has the burden to establish that the amount in
controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 to retain the jurisdiction of
the Court.

The Court cited that the Plaintiff calculated the amount in
controversy to be approximately $630,000.00, well below the
$5,000,000 CAFA requirement. The Defendant miscalculated the
potential maximum exposure for rest and meal break violations by
multiplying the potential number of employees in the class by each
employee's hourly rate by each and every rest and meal break
during the class period. In the context of CAFA, the Ninth Circuit
held that an allegation of a "pattern and practice" of violating
labor laws does not necessarily mean that such violations were
incurred by each and every employee on each and every shift.

ALBANY MOLECULAR: Must Defend Against "Gauquie" Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Frederic Block of the Eastern District of New York,
denied defendants' motion to dismiss in the case JOHN GAUQUIE,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff, v. ALBANY MOLECULAR RESEARCH, INC., WILLIAM MARTH, and
MICHAEL NOLAN, Defendants, Case No. 14 CV 6637 (FB) (SMG)
(E.D.N.Y.)

Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (AMRI) is a contract research
manufacturing company that manufactures and produces injectables,
compounds, and biologics for the pharmaceutical industry.

In 2014, AMRI acquired Oso Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing, LLC
(OSO), a laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, because of its
top-tier regulatory reputation and ability to expand operations.
Unfortunately, in July 2014, OSO experienced a power failure,
which resulted in the contamination of Suite 152, a section of the
facility that accounted for 45-50% of OSO's sales. AMRI did not
initially release information about the power failure, but instead
extolled the value of the acquisition, as well as OSO's regulatory
compliance reputation.

On November 5, 2014, AMRI announced disappointing results for the
third quarter and lowered its fiscal 2014 guidance because of the
July 2014 power failure, which forced AMRI to discard contaminated
inventory.

Ramesh Patel and Michael Lowery brought a putative class action
against AMRI, William Marth, and Michael Nolan, asserting
violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Plaintiffs allege AMRI falsely and misleadingly touted the added
earnings and manufacturing capability of OSO and provided
misleading financial guidance reports by failing to disclose a
known power failure at OSO, which resulted in the contamination of
40% to 50% of its product and manufacturing delays.  The complaint
points to defendants' positive outlook driven statements during
the August 5 conference call and press release, the August 11 10-Q
form, and the September 30 reiteration of financial guidance, all
of which are contradicted by a confidential witness employee's
observation about the existence of a mold contamination in Suite
152 in August.

Defendants moved to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 12(b)(6) plaintiffs' securities claims for failure to
meet the heightened pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 9(b) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.

Judge Block denied defendants' motion to dismiss.

AMAZON.COM LLC: Jan. 2017 Final Approval Hearing of "Raya" Accord
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, SANTIAGO RAYA on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. AMAZON.COM, LLC, a Delaware
Limited Liability Company; GOLDEN STATE FC, LLC, a Delaware
Limited Liability Company and, DOES 1 through 10, inclusive,
Defendants, Case No. 15-CV-02005 MMC (N.D. Calif.), District Judge
Maxine M. Chesney on Aug. 5, 2016, entered an order granting
PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, CONDITIONAL
CERTIFICATION, APPROVAL OF CLASS NOTICE, AND SETTING OF FINAL
FAIRNESS HEARING.

The Court approves (1) the proposed notice of class action
settlement, and (2) the proposed claim form attached as exhibits.

The motion for fees shall be filed no later than October 14, 2016.
The motion for final approval shall be filed no later than
December 9, 2016.

The Final Approval hearing will be held on January 6, 2017, at
9:00 a.m.

Judge Chesney had granted the parties' request to continue the
hearing on Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class
Action Settlement on July 29, 2016, from its initial schedule set
for July 22, 2016.  The court found good cause on the parties'
stipulation to move the hearing schedule due to the upper
respiratory illness of Richard G. Rosenblatt, the sole counsel
representing Defendants, which condition prevented his appearance
at the July 22 hearing.

AMERICAN NATIONAL: Defendant's Protest over Dismissal Denied
------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, JAMES KYZAR AND ANNE AULDS, INDIVIDUALLY, AND AS
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CLASS v. AMERICAN NATIONAL PROPERTY AND
CASUALTY CO, Civil Action No. 15-527-SDD-EWD (M.D. La.), District
Judge Shelly D. Dick denied the Defendant's objections against the
Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal of the case, contending
that ANPAC Louisiana still remains to be a party, following the
Magistrate Judge's approval of the amended complaint.

The case involves a class of Louisiana homeowner's insurance
policy holders whose property loss claims were allegedly
wrongfully adjusted by the Defendant ANPAC, a Missouri
corporation, which was subsequently amended, as approved by the
Magistrate Judge, naming ANPAC Louisiana as the new Defendant. The
error prompted the Plaintiff to file the controversial Voluntary
Dismissal on the original case.

The Magistrate Judge's Ruling granting the amendment which
permitted the substation of ANPAC Louisiana in the place of the
Defendant ANPAC was not given effect due to ANPAC's Objection, and
the express terms of the Ruling, which prevented the clerk of
court from filing the proposed First Supplemental and Amended
Class Action Complaint until the time for the parties to object to
the ruling has expired, which both circumstances confirmed that
the Amended Complaint was not filed into the record, and ANPAC
Louisiana was not substituted as a party before the Notice of
Dismissal was filed. This countered the contention of the
Defendant, thus, warrants the denial of his motion for
reconsideration and alteration, amendment, and relief from the
Court's ruling.

AUTOVEST LLC: Judge Wants Counsel to Address Flaw in FDCPA Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
SCOTT BROWN, on behalf of himself and the class defined herein,
Plaintiff, v. AUTOVEST LLC, et al., Defendants, Case No. 16 C 7534
(N.D. Ill.), has been brought by one of this judicial district's
most active firms in consumer litigation, acting on behalf of
named plaintiff and proposed class representative Scott Brown
("Brown") against Autovest LLC ("Autovest") and Dynamic Recovery
Solutions, LLC ("Dynamic"). Brown's Complaint charges each
defendant with violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act (the "Act").

Senior District Judge Milton I. Shadur on July 28 issued a
memorandum order, sua sponte, because of a perceived possible flaw
in the Complaint.  According to the Judge, the Complaint
identifies Autovest as a "debt collector" as defined in the Act,
and in that respect the Complaint alleges that it "regularly uses
the mails and telephones to collect debts," while it also alleges
that it "has filed numerous lawsuits in Illinois seeking to
collect consumer debts." As for Dynamic, its "debt collector"
status is addressed in the Complaint, alleging that it "is engaged
in the business of collecting charged-off consumer debts,
including auto retail installment contract debts."

But all of that said (and accepted for present purposes), what
Brown's counsel glosses over as to Autovest is that the only debt
collection communicated to Brown that has triggered his resort to
the Act is Complaint Ex. A sent by Dynamic, which communication
identifies the original creditor on Brown's now time-barred
indebtedness as Wells Fargo Financial and identifies Autovest as
the "current owner" of that debt. In 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983("Section
1983") jurisprudence, the fact that a policeman (say) is a "state
actor" when engaged in his or her duties in that position does not
tar any misdeed by the policeman that is committed outside of his
or her official actions in terms that support the invocation of
Section 1983. Although the analogy is of course scarcely a
parallel one, the situation here is conceptually similar -- that
is, any potential for Autovest's liability under the Act, if it
exists, is of a different stripe than that of Dynamic, which
concededly acted as a "debt collector" in transmitting the Ex. A
communication. As for Autovest, by contrast, the fact that it may
in other instances engage in the activities described in the
Complaint is really irrelevant to its potential liability for
having referred Brown's time-barred indebtedness to debt collector
Dynamic.

"What this comes down to is that Brown's counsel has sought to
link two different kinds of asserted Act-violative conduct in this
single lawsuit, rather than filing separate actions against
Autovest and Dynamic. If the latter course of action were to be
undertaken, although the two cases would not qualify for
reassignment on grounds of relatedness under this District Court's
LR 40.4, they would be capable of joint discovery and other common
treatment (normally under the supervision of the judge with the
lower-numbered case) to minimize duplicative lawyer activity -- a
common arrangement in this District Court in comparable
circumstances," the Judge said.

"This Court is not, however, taking any sua sponte action as to
the possible splitting of this action at this time. Instead it is
contemporaneously issuing its conventional initial scheduling
order in this case, but it also sets a brief status hearing at
8:45 a.m. August 5, 2016, at which time Brown's counsel will be
expected to air his or her view on the subject broached here."

CLARK COUNTY: Nevada Riders' Challenge to Helmet Law Tossed
-----------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Richard F. Boulware II of the District of Nevada,
granted defendants' motions to dismiss in the case DAVID ROY
STILWELL, et al., Plaintiffs, v. CLARK COUNTY, et al., Defendants,
Case No. 2:11-cv-01549-RFB-VCF (D. Nev.)

Nevada's Helmet Law, codified at N.R.S. 486.231 or the Helmet Law,
was enacted in 1971 and required the Department of Motor Vehicles
and Public Safety to adopt standards for protective headgear and
glasses, goggles, or face shields to be worn by motorcycle drivers
and passengers. The Department did not expressly adopt any such
standards until 1994, when it adopted the regulations contained in
49 C.F.R. Section 571.218, the National Highway Transportation and
Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 218. The NHTSA Standard establishes a process whereby
a manufacturer can certify, using the DOT symbol and other labels,
that the helmet conforms to the applicable safety standards. NHTSA
does not prescribe the size, weight, or minimum head coverage that
a helmet must have, nor does it require helmets to be tested
before being sold. However, when helmets are tested, the NHTSA
Standard requires that they meet certain requirements with respect
to impact, penetration, retention, configuration, peripheral
vision/brow opening, and labeling in order to be found in
compliance.

Plaintiffs, a group of motorcycle riders residing in Nevada,
challenge the enforcement of a Nevada statute governing the use of
motorcycle helmets, N.R.S. 486.231. Plaintiffs allege that the
entity and supervisory defendants failed to train the individual
officers in how to identify helmets that do or do not comply with
the Helmet Law and how to collect the evidence necessary to
support a citation for violating that law. As a result, plaintiffs
allege, the officers engaged in a pattern and practice of
arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement of the Helmet Law by
issuing citations for violations of that law without probable
cause.

The Defendants are various Nevada municipalities, law enforcement
agencies, and law enforcement officers.  Several defendants filed
motions to dismiss the suit.

Judge Boulware granted defendants' motions to dismiss and
dismissed the suit with prejudice.  The Court finds that
Plaintiffs have failed to state a claim for violation of their
constitutional rights and that further amendment would be futile.
Plaintiffs' claims are therefore dismissed with prejudice.

CORDIS CORP: Court Wants Basis on Jurisdiction in "Dunson" Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, JERRY DUNSON, et al., Plaintiffs, v. CORDIS
CORPORATION, et al., Defendants, Case No. 16-cv-03076-SI (N.D.
Calif.), District Judge Susan Illston ordered Defendants to show
cause, in writing, in no later than July 28, 2016, explaining why
the action should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

The case pertains to the Defendants' allegation, invoking the
Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, which provides that a federal
district court has an original jurisdiction to hear a class action
if the class has more than 100 members. The Court believes that
only 8 plaintiffs are present in the case, disregarding all the
other plaintiffs in 9 separate cases currently pending before 9
different judges in the district.

Pursuant to the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(h)(3), if the
court determines at any time that the case lacks subject-matter
jurisdiction, the court must dismiss the action.

DYNAMIC PET: Court Trims Down Claims in "Reed" Case
---------------------------------------------------
In the case, KHRISTIE REED, et al., on Behalf of Herself and All
Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiffs, v. DYNAMIC PET PRODUCTS;
and FRICK'S MEAT PRODUCTS, INC, Defendants, Case No. 15cv0987-WQH-
DHB (S.D. Cal.), District Judge William Q. Hayes granted
Defendants' motions to dismiss against Plaintiffs' claim for
breach of implied warranty, and Plaintiff Rodney Canutt's claim
under Oregon's Unlawful Trade Practices Act, but denied dismissal
in all other claims.

The case is a consumer protection class action where alleged
misrepresentations and omissions were made by Defendants regarding
the Real Ham Bone For Dogs. The proposed class consists of all
persons who purchased one or more Real Ham Bone For Dogs other
than for purpose of resale.

The Court held on the first favorable judgment to the Defendant,
that there is no privity between Plaintiff Reed and Defendants
because Plaintiff purchased the Real Ham Bone For Dogs from Wal-
Mart. Thus, dismissal for breach of implied warranty is granted.
On the second judgment, the Court concludes that Rodney Canutt has
not alleged a claim for relief, thus, granting the Defendants'
dismissal of the claim. A copy of the Court's decision dated July
21, 2016 is available at http://goo.gl/9UYrO7from Leagle.com.

DYNCORP INTERNATIONAL: Law on Forum Mandated Kuwait Courts to Act
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, affirmed the
district court's judgment in the case JONATHAN BARNETT, Plaintiff-
Appellant, v. DYNCORP INTERNATIONAL, L.L.C., Defendant-Appellee.,
No. 15-10757 (5th Cir.).

DynCorp International LLC, a private contractor that provides
logistics support services to the U.S. Army, is an American
company with its principal place of business in Texas. Jonathan
Barnett is a resident of the state of Georgia. In February 2011,
DynCorp extended Barnett an offer to work for DynCorp in Kuwait.
Barnett traveled to Texas and signed a one-year Foreign Service
Employment Agreement drafted by DynCorp in Texas. He signed a
similar one-year contract in February 2012 and extensions of the
second contract in March 2013.

The agreement designated Barnett's geographical location of
employment as Kuwait. Barnett's base wages were set in American
dollars, but his overtime and working holiday compensation were to
be paid at premium rates in accordance with Kuwait Labour Law, No.
6 of 2010. The agreement also incorporated the Kuwait Labour Law
to determine Barnett's work schedule, holidays, medical leave
benefits, circumstances under which he could be terminated, and
compensation due upon termination. Other benefits such as paid
leave were set with reference to U.S. Army contracting policies.
One important provision in the agreement stated that the contract
shall be governed by and interpreted exclusively under the laws of
Kuwait and all disputes between the parties shall be resolved
exclusively in Kuwait.

In a March 2013 letter, DynCorp informed Barnett that his
employment would soon be terminated because DynCorp would no
longer be providing services at Barnett's location.

Barnett filed an action on March 27, 2015, in a federal court in
Texas. He alleges that he never received all of the wages and
benefits DynCorp owes him, and that DynCorp breached the agreement
by failing to provide him in accordance with the Kuwait Labour Law
overtime pay, paid leave, end-of-service payment, and premature
contract termination damages. He also contends that DynCorp failed
to pay him hardship compensation and meal per diems, and did not
provide all of the free housing and transportation required by the
agreement.

DynCorp moved to dismiss on the basis of forum non conveniens,
arguing that the agreement's forum-selection clause mandates that
the action be litigated in Kuwait. Barnett opposed the motion,
responding that the forum-selection clause is void under Texas law
and unenforceable under federal law.

The district court granted the motion, concluding that the forum-
selection clause is valid, enforceable, and requires dismissal.
Barnett appealed.

Circuit Judge Stephen A. Higginson, who wrote the decision,
affirmed the trial court's judgment of dismissal.  A copy of Judge
Higginson's order dated July 26, 2016, is available at

EARTH CARE: Judge Certifies "Hernandez" Class Complaint
-------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth T. Hey certified the collective action
and the settlement class, in the case, ROGELIO ORTEGA HERNANDEZ,
on behalf of himself and others similarly situated v. EARTH CARE,
INC., SCOTT RISBON, and KIM RISBON, Civil Action No. 15-5091 (E.D.
Pa.).

The class complaint involves the seasonal landscape laborers from
Mexico who were employed by the Defendant Earth Care, Inc. during
2010 through 2014, alleging that Defendants failed to pay the wage
rates required by the visa program that enabled the laborers to
work for Defendants.

The settlement agreement provides for payment of all unpaid
minimum wages and overtime, and the reimbursement of $440 per year
per worker for pre-employment travel and visa costs.

Representative Counsel negotiated their fees independently of the
terms of the settlement for members of the settlement class, and
agreed to cap their fees at $35,000, far below the lodestar value
of the work performed.

The Court held that the Plaintiffs have established to be
similarly situated and the settlement is a fair and reasonable
resolution of the claims asserted by the class for underpaid
wages.

EXPERIAN INFORMATION: Judge Delays Ruling on Attorneys' Fees
------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge John A. Gibney, Jr. of the Eastern District of
Virginia, Richmond Division deferred ruling on plaintiff's motion
for an award of attorneys' fees in the case MICHAEL T. DREHER,
Plaintiff, v. EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS, INC., Defendant,
Case No. 3:11-cv-624 (E.D. Va.)

Michael Dreher filed a suit under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA), 15 U.S.C. Sections 1681 et seq., against Experian and
other credit reporting agencies. After settling with the other
credit reporting agencies, he proceeded with his suit against
Experian. During discovery, Dreher recognized another potential
claim, based on a systemic flaw in Experian's process of reporting
credit information about customers of Advanta Bank. He amended the
complaint to add a claim that Experian falsely told customers that
Advanta provided credit information to Experian, when the
information really came from a different company. The Advanta
claim proceeded as a class action.

The court entered judgment against Experian on the class claim,
which Experian has appealed. During the appeal of the class claim,
the parties resumed their squabble on the individual claim, but
eventually settled the individual claim through an offer of
judgment for $65,000. The judgment included Dreher's costs related
to the individual claim, but not his attorneys' fees.

Dreher filed a motion for an award of attorneys' fees related to
his individual claim.

Judge Gibney deferred ruling on the motion for an award of
attorneys' fees pending receipt of the parties' billing
information.

FEDERAL NATIONAL: Court Denies Consolidation of Cases
-----------------------------------------------------
In the case, ALESSI & KOENIG, LLC, Plaintiff(s), v. ALFRED T.
DOLAN, JR., et al., Defendant(s), Case No. 2:15-CV-805 JCM (CWH),

The case involves a federal foreclosure where the intervenor,

FOX ORTEGA: Hearing Held on Final Settlement Approval
-----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California
was slated to hold a hearing on July 27, 2016, to consider final
approval of the settlement of a class action lawsuit against Fox
Ortega Enterprises, Inc., dba Premier Cru.

The class action case is, Michael Podolsky, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Michael Kasolas,
Trustee, Defendant, Adv. Pro. No. 16-04033 (Bankr. N.D. Cal.).
Fox Ortega commenced a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding (Bankr.
N.D. Cal. Case No. 16-40050) on Jan. 8, 2016.  Bankruptcy Judge
William J. Lafferty, III, presides over the case.

Simmone Shah, writing for The Daily Californian, reported that the
lawsuit arrived after several complainants sued Premier Cru for
almost $70 million in October 2015, claiming the company failed to
deliver purchased wine. Shortly after, Fox Ortega Enterprises --
the company which owned Premier Cru -- filed for Chapter 7
bankruptcy.

The Daily Californian said the settlement was reached May 16,
affecting approximately 4,450 Premier Cru customers who were left
without the bottles of wine they paid for before the company
declared bankruptcy.  The report said Michael Kasolas, the Chapter
7 trustee, was given responsibility for liquidating assets and
determining allocations of funds after a creditor's hearing Feb.
24.  On March 29, he filed a motion to liquidate Premier Cru
assets and sell more than 78,800 bottles of wine, using the assets
to repay creditors.  While Kasolas stated that the majority of the
wines stored with Premier Cru were owned by the estate, many
Premier Cru customers, such as Michael Podolsky, said the bottles
belonged to the customers who paid for their orders but never
received them. Podolsky filed a class action lawsuit against
Kasolas in April.

The Daily Californian further reported that both parties reached a
settlement because resolving the dispute would "consume many
months or years of litigation, at much greater expense and at
significant risk of loss," according to a court document. During
this time, the document stated, the cost to continue the court
battle would extinguish the trust funds, making it difficult to
continue storing the bottles. The document further stated that
"there might be nothing left of value to recover" when the case
was finished.

"Judge Lafferty, the bankruptcy judge, suggested the parties
entered judiciary mediation, and we negotiated in that context to
a resolution," said Merle Meyers, an attorney for Meyers Law
Group, one of the firms representing Premier Cru customers,
according to the report.  The mediation occurred intermittently
from May 3 to May 16, when a settlement was reached.

On July 1, 2016, Edwin W. Finch, III, caused the Objection
Regarding the Class Action Pending Stipulation of Settlement, to
be sent, via FedEx, to the Court. The Finch Objection was not
addressed to the Clerk of the Court, did not request that it be
filed, nor was it served upon any other party to this matter.
Although the Finch Objection was "received' on July 5, 2016, it
was not brought to the attention of either the Honorable William
J. Lafferty, III, the presiding Judge in this case, or the Clerk
of Court until today. The Court docketed the Finch Objection and
directed Class Counsel to be prepared to address it at the July 27
hearing.

The Memorandum Regarding Objection of Edwin Finch is available at
https://is.gd/RKkN2f from Leagle.com.

On July 20, 2016, the Court received a letter from Frank L.
D'Elia, who indicated that he was a customer of the Debtor and, as
such, received documents relating to this chapter 7 case. Mr.
D'Elia explained that he has answered correspondence that
requested information from him, but was "unsure what [he] should
do to recover [his] losses." Mr. D'Elia asked the court to
instruct him on what he "must do to recover [his] loss."

The Court cannot provide Mr. D'Elia with legal advice regarding
what actions he can or should take to protect his interests. The
Court understands that Mr. D'Elia is concerned about the cost
associated with engaging an attorney. Nonetheless, the Court would
encourage Mr. D'Elia to engage legal counsel regarding his
concerns.

The Court said Mr. D'Elia may contact Michael G. Kasolas, the
Chapter 7 Trustee, or his counsel, Mark Bostick, Tracy Green, and
Elizabeth Berke-Dreyfuss of Wendel, Rosen, Black and Dean, for
further information regarding the case. Mr. D'Elia may also
contact Merle Meyers of the Meyers Law Group, PC, or Mark A.
Chavez of Chavez & Gertler LLP, counsel for a class consisting of
certain persons who purchased wine from the Debtor, regarding the
case.

GERBER PRODUCTS: "Slocum" Suit Escapes from Federal Jurisdiction
----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Nanette K. Laughrey remanded the case captioned,
JULIE SLOCUM, on behalf of herself and all other similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. GERBER PRODUCTS CO. d/b/a NESTLE
NUTRITION, NESTLE INFANT NUTRITION, and NESTLE NUTRITION NORTH
AMERICA, Defendant, No. 2:16-cv-04120-NKL (W.D. Mo.), to a
Missouri state court following the Defendant's failure to
demonstrate by a preponderance of evidence that a threshold of
US$5 million can be recovered to warrant federal jurisdiction.

The class action involves a claim arising under the Missouri
Merchandising Practices Act (MMPA) where Defendant is alleged to
have falsely and deceptively marketed its Gerber Good Start Gentle
line of infant formula products as the "1st and Only" routine
formula endorsed by the United States Food and Drug Administration
to reduce the risk of developing allergies.

Slocum originally filed this putative class action in the Circuit
Court of Pettis County on March 14, 2016.  On April 16, 2016,
Gerber removed the case to the Western District, contending that
the Court has original jurisdiction over the action pursuant to 28
U.S.C. Sec. 1332(d) and the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005
("CAFA").

The Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 (CAFA) grants subject matter
jurisdiction to federal district courts in class actions where (1)
any plaintiff has diversity of citizenship from any defendant, (2)
the total amount in controversy exceeds $5 million, and (3) the
alleged plaintiff class contains at least 100 members.

The Defendant contended that the Plaintiff's claim is comprised of
three components that together indicate that the amount in
controversy exceeds $5 million: (1) compensatory damages, (2)
punitive damages, and (3) attorneys' fees. However, the Court
finds that punitive damages will not be considered in determining
the amount in controversy since they have not been requested in
the petition. Likewise, even if the attorneys' fees would amount
to $2.7 million, citing the "Rizzo" case, the total amount in
controversy still would not exceed $5 million.

GRACEY-DANNA INC: Evidence in "Arkin" Suit Has Preservation Order
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, DR. STEVEN ARKIN, a Florida resident, Individually
and as the representative of a Class of similarly situated
persons, Plaintiff, v. GRACEY-DANNA, INC., et. al., Defendants,
Case No. 8:16-cv-1717-T-35AAS (M.D. Fla.), Magistrate Judge Amanda
Arnold Sansone granted the Plaintiff's Motion to Preserve Evidence
from Westfax, Inc., a third-party fax broadcaster.

The case is a class action complaint alleging that Defendants
faxed advertisements to Plaintiff and others in violation of the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The transmission reports and
other electronic data that show which fax numbers received the
advertising faxes are within the possession of a nonparty
corporation, WestFax, Inc.

A federal court may issue preservation orders as part of its
inherent authority to manage its own proceedings. Meanwhile, the
Court held that the Plaintiff had satisfied the tests granting the
request for a preservation order. Thus, the Court directed
WestFax, Inc. to preserve the relevant items during the pendency
of the case.

INVESTOR INCOME: "He" Suit Can't Proceed as Class
-------------------------------------------------
District Judge James S. Gwin denied the Plaintiffs' motion for
class certification, in the case, RUI HE, et al., Plaintiffs, v.
DAVOR ROM, et al., Defendants, Case No. 15-cv-1869 (N.D. Ohio),
for failing to satisfy the Rule 23(a) requirements.

Plaintiffs Rui He, Xiaoguang Zheng, and Zhenfen Huang represent a
putative class of investors based in China who invested in, and
claimed to have been scammed by, American real estate investor
Davor Rom and his companies Investor Income Properties, LLC, IIP
Ohio, IIP Management, IIP Cleveland Regeneration, LLC, IIP
Cleveland Regeneration 2, LLC, Assets Unlimited, LLC, and IIP
Akron, LLC.

Fed.R.Civ.P. Rule 23(a)(2) provides that a class action may be
maintained only if there are questions of law or fact common to
the class. In the case, the Court found that the Plaintiffs' class
action claims depend on individualized issues of reliance,
causation, and damage. There is no uniform question at issue over
the property purchased of each proposed class members.

In addition, Rule 23(a)(3) provides that a class action may be
maintained only if the claims or defenses of the representative
parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class. Based
on the findings of the Court, the determination of one plaintiff
might not be binding on another class member who saw wholly
different advertising, and purchased a home based on different
representations. Thus, the Plaintiff has not shown the typicality
required for class certification.

Defendants, Case No. 2:16-cv-00471-JAD-CWH (D. Nev.). The parties

INVESTMENTS, LLC, LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP., AND ORION ARM
ACQUISITION INC., Case No. 12598 (Del. Ch., July 26, 2016),
accuses the Defendants of breaching their fiduciary duties (or
aiding and abetting such breaches) in connection with the proposed
merger between Starz and Lions Gate.

The City of Cambridge Retirement System is a Starz Series A
stockholder.

Non-Party Starz is a publicly-traded corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the state of Delaware and headquartered
in Englewood, Colorado.  Starz has two classes of shares
outstanding: Series A and Series B.  Series A shares have one vote
per share on matters presented to stockholders and Series B shares
have 10 votes per share.

John Malone owns 5,832,000 Starz Series B shares which, in
combination with an irrevocable voting proxy from Lions Gate,
constitute 48.1% of Starz's voting power.  He is a director of
Lions Gate.  He served as a director of Starz from December 2010
to January 2013.  The other Individual Defendants are directors
and officers of Starz.

In addition to securing a deal that favors his own interests if it
is consummated, Mr. Malone entered into a "Stock Exchange
Agreement" with Lions Gate that deters potential alternative
bidders from making a superior proposal and coerces public
stockholders into voting in favor of the Proposed Transaction that
will give him voting stock in the combined company, the Plaintiff
alleges.

Hilltop Investments, LLC is a private investment company
controlled by Robert R. Bennett.  Hilltop is a party to the Stock
Exchange Agreement.

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. is incorporated in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada, and headquartered in Santa Monica,
California.  Mr. Malone is a director of Lions Gate.  Orion Arm

KINGS COUNTY, CA: "Acord" Petition Faces Dismissal
--------------------------------------------------
In the case, RICHARD C. ACORD, Petitioner, v. KINGS COUNTY, CA,
Respondent, Case No. 1:16-cv-00987-JLT (E.D. Calif.), Magistrate
Judge Jennifer L. Thurston dismissed Petitioner's habeas corpus
petition, absent showing of any requested relief that would affect
the Petitioner.

A habeas corpus petition is the correct method for a prisoner to
challenge the legality or duration of his confinement. However,
the petition does not challenge the fact or duration of the
Petitioner's confinement. The petition even lacks allegation that
the Petitioner is the one who would benefit from the proposed
public defender's office.

The Court held that a petition should be dismissed if it plainly
appears from the face of the petition that the petitioner is not
entitled to relief.

The Court further orders the Petitioner to avail other legal
avenue such as civil rights complaint or a class action suit,
should the Petitioner wish to pursue his claims against the
Defendant.

LICCIARDELLO'S SANITATION: Defendants Ordered to Obtain Counsel
---------------------------------------------------------------
Magistrate Judge Philip R. Lammens gave Defendants additional time
to obtain counsel and file a notice of appearance -- on or before
October 14, 2016 -- in the case captioned, ED O'HARA, et al., and
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. LICCIARDELLO'S
SANITATION SERVICES, INC. and AARON LICCIARDELLO, Defendants, Case
No. 5:16-cv-272-Oc-34PRL (M.D. Fla.).

Granting that Defendants are unable to obtain counsel, Mr.
Licciardello, owner of the Defendant corporation, shall file a
notice advising the Court on or before October 14.

The rule is well established that a corporation is an artificial
entity that can act only through agents, cannot appear pro se, and
must be represented by counsel. In the case, Mr. Licciardello
appeared on behalf of the Defendant corporation addressing the
putative class action filed by Petitioners regarding alleged
unpaid overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Court further ordered the following: (1) Plaintiffs' motion to
strike is due to be granted in part. To the extent that
Defendant's motion to dismiss is filed on behalf of the corporate
defendant, Licciardello's Sanitation Services, Inc., it is hereby
stricken, but shall remain as filed; (2) Defendant's Motion to
Dismiss will be addressed by the undersigned in a separate Report
and Recommendation; (3) Plaintiffs' oral motion to strike
Defendant's Verified Summary is granted. The Clerk is directed to
strike and remove from the docket Documents 52-60 of the case,
including any exhibits and attachments;  and (4) Within 14 days of
the date of the Order, Plaintiff Gabriel Nadal shall file Answers
to the Court's Interrogatories, failing which the undersigned will
recommend dismissal of his claim.

LPL FINANCIAL: Retirement Fund Appointed as Lead Plaintiff
----------------------------------------------------------
In the case, CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CLINTON POLICE AND FIRE
RETIREMENT SYSTEM, Individually and on Behalf of All Others
Similarly Situated, Plaintiff, v. LPL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS INC., et
al., Defendants, Case No. 16cv685 BTM(BGS), (S.D. Cal.), Chief
District Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz approved Soft Drink and Brewery
Workers Union Local 812 Retirement Fund's motion for appointment
as lead plaintiff on behalf of all purchasers of the Defendants'
common stock between the Class Period of December 8, 2015 and
February 11, 2016.

The case involves the alleged artificial inflation of Defendants'
common stock prices.

In a class litigation, the Court shall appoint as lead plaintiff
the member or members of the purported plaintiff class that the
court determines to be most capable of adequately representing the
interests of class members and the one who has the largest
financial interest in the relief sought by the class who otherwise
satisfies the "typicality and adequacy" requirements of Rule 23 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The Court upheld Plaintiff Retirement Fund's unopposed belief that
with its losses of approximately $78,902 in connection with its
purchase of 12,500 shares of LPL common stock, it has the largest
financial interest in the relief sought by the class. In addition,
Plaintiff's claims are also the same types of misrepresentations
and omissions and legal theories as the class claims and its
counsel do not conflict with the interests of other class members.

The Court also approved the Retirement Fund's selection of Robbins
Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as lead counsel.

MEDCO HEALTH: Defendants' Calls Are Covered Exception in TCPA
-------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Catherine D. Perry of the Eastern District of
Missouri, Eastern Division, granted defendants' motion for summary
judgment in the case JENNIFER ROBERTS, individually and on behalf
of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. MEDCO HEALTH
SOLUTIONS, INC., et al., Defendants, Case No. 4:15 CV 1368 CDP
(E.D. Mo.)

Jennifer Roberts purchased a pre-paid cell phone and was assigned
a phone number that had previously been assigned to someone else.
Shortly thereafter, she began receiving automated calls from Medco
Health Solutions and Accredo Group, Inc. that were intended to
reach the former owners of the number.

The prior owners of the phone number were family members Wife,
Husband, and Son, for whom defendants, who are pharmacy benefit
managers, provided prescription and health benefit services. Each
of the family members was receiving one or more prescription
medications from defendants that would have been important to
their continued health.

Roberts alleges that defendants Medco and Accredo placed more than
100 calls to her cell phone number without obtaining her consent.
She claims the calls violated the Telephone Consumer Protection
Act, 48 U.S.C. Section 227, as well as the Missouri Merchandising
Practices Act, Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 407.1076, and she has
brought the case both individually and as a class action. Roberts
is claiming only that the defendants violated the TCPA by using an
artificial or prerecorded voice. She has not asserted any TCPA
violation arising from the use of an automatic telephone dialing
system.

The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment on Robert's
individual claims, and no class certification proceedings have
been held.

Judge Perry granted defendants' motion for summary judgment as to
plaintiff's first cause of action and ordered the dismissal of the
second cause of action without prejudice. All other pending
motions are denied as moot.

The Judge said, "The summary judgment briefing was rife with
disputed facts, including the total number of calls made, whether
the calls were consented to, and whether defendants were on notice
that plaintiff was not the intended call recipient. But the facts
disputed in the briefs are not material to this decision. . . .
[O]nly five phone calls are at issue in this matter, and the
content of those is undisputed. I conclude that all five fall
under the TCPA exception for calls made for an emergency purpose.
Defendants' motion for summary judgment will therefore be granted
as to Roberts' TCPA claim. Additionally, both because the federal
Missouri Merchandising Protection Act claim is now dismissed and
because Roberts' MPA claim raises a novel and complex issue of
state law, I decline to exercise jurisdiction over her Missouri
claim, and it will be dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C.
Sec. 1367(c)."

MINNESOTA: Human Services Dept. Faces Civil Rights Breach Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kenneth Steven Daywitt and other similarly situated v. Minnesota
Department of Human Services, Minnesota Sex Offender Program,
Emily Johnson Piper, Jannine Hebert, Peter Puffer, Jim Berg, Jerry
Fjerkenstad and Katherine Lockie, in their individual and official
capacities, Case No. 0:16-cv-02541-MJD-LIB (D. Minn., July 27,
2016), alleges violations of the Civil Rights Act.

In 1994, the Minnesota Legislature enacted the Minnesota Civil
Commitment and Treatment Act: Sexually Dangerous Persons and
Sexual Psychopathic Personalities, which provides for the
involuntary civil commitment of any individual, who is found by a
court to be a "sexually dangerous person" or a "sexual
psychopathic personality" to the Minnesota Sex Offender Program.
The MSOP provides housing for its civilly committed residents in
three facilities, which include the secure treatment facility in
Moose Lake, Minnesota; the secure treatment facility in St. Peter,
Minnesota; and the Community Preparation Services, which is
located on the St. Peter site outside of the secure perimeter.
Those who are civilly committed to the MSOP are in the care and
custody of the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

The MSOP Program Theory Manual, the MSOP Treatment Manual, and the
MSOP Clinician's Guide describe the MSOP's program model.  The
stated goal of the MSOP's treatment program is to treat and safely
reintegrate committed individuals at the MSOP back into the
community.

------------------------------------------------
Chief District Judge Denise Page Wood of the Eastern District of
Michigan, Southern Division, granted in part and denied in part
defendant's renewed motion to dismiss in the case DANIEL DUCHENE,
Plaintiff, v. ONSTAR, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 15-13337 (E.D.
Mich.)

Daniel Duchene is an individual residing in Ada, Minnesota, while
defendant OnStar, LLC is a Delaware business entity with a
principal place of business in Detroit, Michigan.

In August of 2015, Duchene began receiving calls on his cellular
telephone at telephone number 218-xxx-0230. The calls were from
telephone number 972-372-1723, a telephone number owned by
defendant. When Duchene answered the calls, no human being spoke
to him but instead, Duchene would hear complete silence before the
call terminated without anyone coming on the line.

On September 14, 2015, Duchene, individually and purportedly on
behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a two-count
complaint in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
against OnStar in the Western District of Michigan. Duchene's
cause of action was transferred to the Eastern District of
Michigan on September 22, 2015, and OnStar filed a motion to
dismiss on November 25, 2015. Duchene filed an amended complaint
on December 21, 2015, alleging violations of 47 U.S.C. Section 227
(b)(1)(A) (count I) and count II alleges a claim for willfulness
under the TCPA. Section 227(b)(3) of the TCPA. OnStar filed a
renewed motion to dismiss on January 7, 2016.

Chief District Judge Wood granted in part and denied in part
defendant's renewed motion to dismiss. It is denied with respect
to count I and granted with respect to count II.

REMX INC: Arbitration Order Non-Appealable, Calif. Judge Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
Justice Mark B. Simons of the Court of Appeals of California,
First District Division Three, dismissed an appeal in the case
VANESSA YOUNG, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. REMX, INC., et al.,
Defendants and Respondents, No. A143786 (Cal. Ct. App.)

Vanessa Young, a former employee of Remx, Inc. filed a complaint
against the latter alleging that Remx failed to timely pay her all
of her final wages. The complaint asserts, on behalf of plaintiff
and a putative class, a cause of action for failure under Labor
Code sections 201 through 203. The complaint also asserts a
representative Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA) claim
seeking civil penalties on behalf of plaintiff and other aggrieved
employees.

Defendants filed a motion to compel individual arbitration,
dismiss plaintiff's class claims, and bifurcate and stay the PAGA
claim. In support of the motion, defendants submitted an
arbitration agreement signed by plaintiff. The arbitration
agreement provides that any disputes arising out of or relating to
the employment or the termination of the employment will be
submitted to arbitration.

Plaintiff opposed the motion, arguing that the arbitration
agreement only identifies a nonparty entity called RXOS, and
therefore does not extend to disputes with defendants, that the
agreement is unenforceable and that the agreement is
unconscionable.

The trial court granted defendants' motion. The order compelled
arbitration of plaintiff's individual claim, dismissed the class
claims, bifurcated the representative PAGA claim, and stayed the
PAGA claim pending the completion of arbitration. Young appealed.

Justice Simons dismissed Young's appeal concluding that the order
is non-appealable.  A copy of Justice Simons's opinion dated July
26, 2016, is available at http://goo.gl/i9AQrgfrom Leagle.com.

The Court of Appeals of California, First District Division Three
panel consists of Presiding Justice Barbara J.R. Jones and
Justices Mark B. Simons and Henry E. Needham.

SWIFT TRANSPORTATION: 9th Cir. Won't Hear Truck Drivers' Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Judge Sidney Thomas of the United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit, dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction the
appellate case, VIRGINIA VAN DUSEN; JOSEPH SHEER; JOHN DOE 1,
individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated
persons, Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY
INCORPORATED; INTERSTATE EQUIPMENT LEASING INCORPORATED; CHAD
KILLIBREW; JERRY MOYES, Defendants-Appellants, No. 15-15257 (9th
Cir.).

Virginia Van Dusen and Joseph Sheer are interstate truck drivers
who entered into contracts with Swift Transportation Company, Inc.
and Interstate Equipment Leasing, Inc. The contracts designated
Van Dusen and Sheer as independent contractors, not employees.
Each contract also contained a clause to arbitrate all disputes
and claims arising under, arising out of or relating to the
agreement.

Van Dusen eventually terminated her contract with Swift. Swift
separately terminated its contract with Sheer. Van Dusen and Sheer
later filed a collective and class action complaint against Swift,
Interstate, and senior executives at both companies. The complaint
alleged that Swift misclassified Van Dusen and others as
independent contractors. The complaint also alleged violations of
the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. Section 201 et seq., the
California Labor Code, New York labor laws, state and federal
minimum wage laws, and laws prohibiting forced labor, among other
claims.

The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York and
later transferred to the District of Arizona. In Arizona, Swift
moved to compel arbitration and dismiss or stay the district court
action. Van Dusen objected that Section 1 of the FAA prevented the
district court from compelling arbitration. The district court
granted Swift's motion to compel arbitration.
Van Dusen petitioned the 9th Cir. for a writ of mandamus and
argued that the district court committed clear error when it
referred the Section 1 issue to the arbitrator. The petition was
denied.

Van Dusen moved for reconsideration of the order compelling
arbitration, or, in the alternative, to certify an interlocutory
appeal. The district court denied the portion of the motion
requesting reconsideration, noting that it continued to believe
its original opinion referring the Section 1 inquiry to an
arbitrator was correct, particularly in light of the fact that the
parties agreed to arbitrate questions of arbitrability. The
district court then certified an interlocutory appeal.

On appeal, the 9th Cir. clarified that the district court not an
arbitrator must decide the Section 1 issue. Swift petitioned the
Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari and was denied.

The district court then set out to determine the Section 1
exemption issue. It issued a scheduling order for discovery and a
trial to determine issues relating to plaintiffs' status as
employees or independent contractors. Swift moved for an order to
stay proceedings, including discovery, and for an order setting a
briefing schedule to determine the Section 1 issue without resort
to discovery and trial. The court denied Swift's motion. It also
concluded that the order was not immediately appealable. An
interlocutory appeal followed but the district court did not
certify the order for appeal.

Accordingly, Chief Judge Thomas dismissed the appeal for lack of
appellate jurisdiction.  A copy of Chief Judge Thomas's opinion
dated July 26, 2016, is available at http://goo.gl/Tpby35from

SWIFT TRANSPORTATION: Judge Denies Relief for Mandamus
------------------------------------------------------
Judge Andrew Davis Hurwitz of the United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit, denied petitioners' writ of mandamus in the case
entitled IN RE SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY INCORPORATED;
INTERSTATE EQUIPMENT LEASING INCORPORATED; CHAD KILLIBREW; JERRY
MOYES, SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY INCORPORATED; INTERSTATE
EQUIPMENT LEASING INCORPORATED; CHAD KILLIBREW; JERRY MOYES,
Petitioners, v. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF
ARIZONA, PHOENIX, Respondent, VIRGINIA VAN DUSEN, individually and
on behalf of all other similarly situated persons; JOSEPH SHEER,
individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated
persons; JOSE MOTOLINA; VICKII SCHWALM; PETER WOOD, Real Parties
in Interest, No. 15-70592 (9th Cir.)

Virginia Van Dusen and Joseph Sheer entered into contracts with
Swift that designated them as independent contractors and also
contained a clause requiring them to arbitrate all disputes and
claims arising under, arising out of or relating to the
agreements. After contract termination, Van Dusen filed a
collective and class action complaint against Swift alleging that
Swift misclassified Van Dusen and others as independent
contractors.

Swift moved to compel arbitration and dismiss or stay the district
court action. Van Dusen objected that Section 1 of the Federal
Arbitration Act prevented the district court from compelling
arbitration. The district court granted Swift's motion to compel
arbitration. The court also determined that an arbitrator should
decide whether the Sec. 1 exemption applies. The court
subsequently denied Van Dusen's motion to reconsider or certify an
appeal. Van Dusen petitioned the 9th Circuit Court for a writ of
mandamus.

The 9th Circuit denied the mandamus petition and remanded the case
to the district court. The district court denied Van Dusen's
motion for reconsideration, reiterated its original opinion, and
certified an interlocutory appeal.

On appeal, the 9th Circuit held that the district court, not an
arbitrator, should decide the Section 1 exemption in the first
instance and remanded again the suit  with instructions to
determine whether the contractor agreements between each appellant
and Swift are exempt under Section 1 of the fair Arbitration Act
before considering Swift's motion to compel. On remand, the
district court issued a case management order that included a
discovery schedule, motion deadlines, and set a potential trial
date.

Swift moved the court for a stay of proceedings and for an order
determining the Section 1 issue without discovery or trial. Swift
filed an interlocutory appeal, which the 9th Circuit dismissed for
lack of jurisdiction.

Swift then seeks a writ of mandamus ordering the district court to
vacate its case management order and decide the petition to compel
arbitration without discovery or trial.

Judge Hurwitz denied the petition for writ of mandamus.

URBAN OUTFITTERS: District Court Lacks Jurisdiction Over Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Circuit Judge Patricia A. Millett of the United States Court of
Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit vacated the district court's
judgment and remanded the case of WHITNEY HANCOCK, ON BEHALF OF
HERSELF AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, AND JAMIE WHITE, ON
BEHALF OF HERSELF AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, Appellants,
v. URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC. AND ANTHROPOLOGIE, INC., Appellees, No.
14-7047 (D.C. Cir.).

Whitney Hancock and Jamie White made purchases with their credit
cards at two clothing stores in the District of Columbia. Hancock
made a credit card purchase at an Anthropologie retail clothing
store while White made two credit card purchases at an Urban
Outfitters retail clothing store. As part of those credit-card
transactions, the cashiers asked each for her zip code, and each
provided it.

Hancock and White filed a putative class action in the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia. They allege
that Urban Outfitters' and Anthropologie's zip code requests
violated the Identification Act and the Consumer Protection Act.
Hancock and White allege that, because their zip codes are part of
their addresses, the stores' request for zip codes violated the
Identification Act's ban on obtaining addresses as a condition of
a credit card transaction. They also allege that the requests for
their zip codes violated the Consumer Protection Act by (i)
falsely implying to consumers that disclosure of their zip codes
is required to complete their credit-card transactions; (ii)
failing to state the material fact that the provision of a zip
code is optional; and (iii) deceptively representing that requests
for zip codes are legal and necessary to complete credit-card
transactions.

The district court dismissed the complaint with prejudice for
failure to state a claim. Hancock and White appealed.

Judge Millett, who penned the Appeals Court's decision, vacated
the district court's judgment on the merits, saying the district
court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter; and remanded
the case with instructions to dismiss the complaint.

VICTORIA'S SECRET: "Joaquin" Suit Goes Back to Superior Court
------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Fernando M. Olguin remanded the case, entitled,
MARIA YESENIA JOAQUIN, Plaintiff, v. VICTORIA'S SECRET STORES,
LLC, Defendant, Case No. CV 16-4890 FMO (AJWx), (C.D. Calif.), to
the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Los Angeles after the Defendant failed to prove diversity
jurisdiction grounds in removing the case.

Complete diversity, as a ground for a removal of a case to federal
court, applies only to cases in which the citizenship of each
plaintiff is diverse from the citizenship of each defendant.

The Court held that the Defendant failed to show the existence of
a complete diversity of the parties, as when it did not show the
citizenship of each of its owners and/or partners. Thus, the Court
concluded that there is no basis for diversity jurisdiction.

ZETA INTERACTIVE: Court Resolves Deposition Issues in "Mora" Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, SERGIO MORA, Plaintiff, v. ZETA INTERACTIVE CORP., et
al., Defendants, Case No. 1:16-cv-00198-DAD-SAB (E.D. Calif.),
Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone ordered that during discovery,
Mr. William Ettinger's deposition shall take place before Mr.
Jeffrey Nimeroff's deposition for the parties' and witnesses'
convenience, while both are precluded from attending each other's
depositions.

Mr. Ettinger and Mr. Nimeroff are the Defendants' two persons most
knowledgeable sought in the case involving Defendants' alleged
violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

The Court found that Plaintiff has shown good cause for precluding
Mr. Ettinger and Mr. Nimeroff from attending each other's
depositions. Counsel may note which questions the deponent did not
have knowledge to answer, so that the other person most
knowledgeable can answer those questions.
