AFFINION GROUP: Appeal in Trilegiant Membership Suits Underway
--------------------------------------------------------------
An appeal from the ruling in a class action lawsuit in Connecticut
related to Trilegiant Corporation's membership programs is
ongoing, according to Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.'s Form 10-Q
filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

On June 17, 2010, a class action complaint was filed against the
Company and Trilegiant Corporation ("Trilegiant") in the United
States District Court for the District of Connecticut.  The
complaint asserts various causes of action on behalf of a putative
nationwide class and a California-only subclass in connection with
the sale by Trilegiant of its membership programs, including
claims under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act ("ECPA"),
the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act ("CUTPA"), the
Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), the
California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the California Unfair
Competition Law, the California False Advertising Law, and for
unjust enrichment.

On September 29, 2010, the Company filed a motion to compel
arbitration of all of the claims asserted in this lawsuit.  On
February 24, 2011, the court denied the Company's motion.  On
March 28, 2011, the Company and Trilegiant filed a notice of
appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit, appealing the district court's denial of their motion to
compel arbitration.  On September 7, 2012, the Second Circuit
affirmed the decision of the district court denying arbitration.
While that issue was on appeal, the matter proceeded in the
district court.  There was written discovery and depositions.

Previously, the court had set a briefing schedule on class
certification that called for the completion of class
certification briefing on May 18, 2012.  However, on March 28,
2012, the court suspended the briefing schedule on the motion due
to the filing of two other overlapping class actions in the United
States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

The first of those cases was filed on March 6, 2012, against the
Company, Trilegiant, Chase Bank USA, N.A., Bank of America, N.A.,
Capital One Financial Corp., Citigroup, Inc., Citibank, N.A.,
Apollo Global Management, LLC, 1-800-Flowers.Com, Inc., United
Online, Inc., Memory Lane, Inc., Classmates Int'l, Inc., FTD
Group, Inc., Days Inn Worldwide, Inc., Wyndham Worldwide Corp.,
People Finderspro, Inc., Beckett Media LLC, Buy.com, Inc., Rakuten
USA, Inc., IAC/InteractiveCorp., and Shoebuy.com, Inc.  The second
of those cases was filed on March 25, 2012, against the same
defendants as well as Adaptive Marketing, LLC, Vertrue, Inc.,
Webloyalty.com, Inc., and Wells Fargo & Co.  These two cases
assert similar claims as the claims asserted in the earlier-filed
lawsuit in connection with the sale by Trilegiant of its
membership programs.  On April 26, 2012, the court consolidated
these three cases.  The court also set an initial status
conference for May 17, 2012.

At that status conference, the court ordered that Plaintiffs file
a consolidated amended complaint to combine the claims in the
three previously separate lawsuits.  The court also struck the
class certification briefing schedule that had been set
previously.

On September 7, 2012, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended
complaint asserting substantially the same legal claims.  The
consolidated amended complaint added Priceline, Orbitz, Chase
Paymentech, Hotwire, and TigerDirect as Defendants and added three
new Plaintiffs; it also dropped Webloyalty and Rakuten as
Defendants.

On December 7, 2012, all Defendants filed motions seeking to
dismiss the consolidated amended complaint and to strike certain
portions of the complaint.  Plaintiff's response brief was filed
on February 7, 2013, and Defendants' reply briefs were filed on
April 5, 2013.

On September 25, 2013, the court held oral argument on the motions
to dismiss.  On March 28, 2014, the court ruled on the motions to
dismiss, granting them in part and denying them in part.  The
court dismissed the Plaintiffs' RICO claims and claims under the
California Automatic Renewal Statute as to all defendants.  The
court also dismissed certain named Plaintiffs as their claims were
barred either by the statute of limitations and/or a prior
settlement agreement.  Certain Defendants were also dismissed from
the case.  The court also struck certain allegations from the
consolidated amended complaint, including certain of Plaintiffs'
class action allegations under CUTPA.

As to the Company and Trilegiant, the court denied the motion to
dismiss certain Plaintiffs' claims under ECPA and for unjust
enrichment, as well as certain other claims of Plaintiffs under
CUTPA.

Also, on December 5, 2012, the Plaintiffs' law firms in these
consolidated cases filed an additional action in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut.  That case is
identical in all respects to this case except that it was filed by
a new Plaintiff (the named Plaintiff from the class action
complaint previously filed against the Company, Trilegiant, 1-800-
Flowers.com, and Chase Bank USA, N.A., in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New York on November
10, 2010).

On January 23, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion to consolidate that
case into the existing set of consolidated cases.  On June 13,
2013, the court entered an order staying the date for all
Defendants to respond to the Complaint until 21 days after the
court ruled on the motion to consolidate.  On March 28, 2014, the
court entered an order granting the motion to consolidate.

On May 12, 2014, remaining Defendants in the consolidated cases
filed answers in which they denied the material allegations of the
consolidated amended complaint.

On April 28, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking interlocutory
appellate review of portions of the court's order of March 28,
2014.  Briefing on the motion was completed on June 5, 2014.  On
March 26, 2015, the court denied Plaintiff's motion for
interlocutory appeal.

On May 29, 2015, the court issued a scheduling order indicating
that discovery was to commence immediately and be completed by
December 31, 2015.  On May 29, 2015, the court also set deadlines
for dispositive motions, which were due February 29, 2016.  If no
dispositive motions were filed, a joint trial memorandum would be
due by April 1, 2016, and jury selection would take place on May
3, 2016.  If dispositive motions were filed, the joint trial
memorandum would be due by October 3, 2016, and jury selection
would take place on November 1, 2016.

On June 16, 2015, the court set a schedule for class
certification, with Plaintiffs' motion for class certification due
on September 15, 2015, and with briefing to be completed by
November 30, 2015.  Plaintiffs filed their motion for class
certification on September 15, 2015, and Defendants filed an
opposition brief on December 15, 2015.  Plaintiffs filed a reply
brief on December 22, 2015, and Defendants filed a sur-reply on
December 29, 2015.

On February 29, 2016, the Company filed a Motion for Summary
Judgment on the individual claims of the remaining named
Plaintiffs.  Plaintiffs filed a response on March 21, 2016, and
the Company filed its response on April 4, 2016.

On August 23, 2016, the court granted Defendant's motion for
Summary Judgment as to all remaining claims against the
Defendants.  Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on September 21,
2016.  The Plaintiffs filed their opening brief on appeal on
January 4, 2017.  The Company filed its response brief on April 5,
2017.

AFFINION GROUP: Conn. Class Suit vs. Webloyalty Still Ongoing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on
July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that Webloyalty
continues to face class action lawsuit in Connecticut.

In 2011, the Company entered into a merger agreement that resulted
in the Webloyalty Acquisition and the acquisition of approximately
21% of the common stock of Affinion Holdings by investment funds
affiliated with General Atlantic LLC with the Apollo Funds
continuing to own approximately 70% of the common stock of
Affinion Holdings.

On August 27, 2010, a class action lawsuit was filed against
Webloyalty, one of its former clients and one of the credit card
associations in the United States District Court for the District
of Connecticut alleging, among other things, violations of the
Electronic Funds Transfer Act ("EFT"), ECPA, unjust enrichment,
civil theft, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and CUTPA
violation (the "Connecticut Action").  This lawsuit relates to
Webloyalty's alleged conduct occurring on and after October 1,
2008.

On November 1, 2010, the Defendants moved to dismiss the initial
complaint, which Plaintiff then amended on November 19, 2010.  On
December 23, 2010, Webloyalty filed a second motion to dismiss
this lawsuit.

On May 15, 2014, the court heard oral argument on Plaintiff's
motion to strike the Company's request for judicial notice of the
Plaintiff's membership enrollment documents filed in support of
the Company's second motion to dismiss.

On July 17, 2014, the court denied Plaintiff's motion to strike.
The court, at the same time, dismissed those claims grounded in
fraud, but reserved until further proceedings the determination as
to whether all of Plaintiff's claims are grounded in fraud and
whether those claims not grounded in fraud are dismissible.

The court permitted the Plaintiff until August 15, 2014 to amend
his complaint and allowed the parties the opportunity to conduct
limited discovery, to be completed by September 26, 2014,
concerning the issues addressed in its dismissal order.  All other
discovery was stayed in the case.  The July 17, 2014 order
indicated that the court would set a further motion to dismiss
briefing schedule following the conclusion of this limited
discovery.

The Plaintiff amended his complaint as scheduled, and the parties
conducted limited discovery as ordered.  After this limited
discovery, the parties proposed a motion to dismiss briefing
schedule calling for the Defendants to file their opening briefs
on January 9, 2015.

The Plaintiff filed his opposition brief on March 24, 2015, and on
April 24, 2015, the Defendants filed their reply briefs in
response to that opposition.  On October 15, 2015, the court
entered a judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiff's claims with
prejudice and without further leave to amend.

On November 13, 2015, the Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of
the dismissal decision.  Plaintiff's opening appeals brief was
filed on February 10, 2016.  The Company's answering brief was
filed on April 15, 2016 and the Plaintiff filed a reply brief on
May 11, 2016.  The court held oral argument on September 14, 2016.

On December 20, 2016, the Court affirmed the District Court's
dismissal decisions, with the exception of Plaintiff's claim under
CUTPA and under the EFT with regard to delivery of a "copy" of the
Plaintiff's authorization to him.  The Court vacated the District
Court's decision on both claims and remanded them to the District
Court for further proceedings on the merits.

On March 23, 2017, the District Court held a scheduling conference
and took the parties' respective recommendations for the remaining
case schedule under advisement.

On June 9, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to amend their
answer to add the affirmative defenses of release and statute of
limitations, as may be applicable to claims under the EFT on
behalf of certain members of the putative class.  Plaintiff filed
his opposition to this motion on June 30, 2017, and the
defendants' reply was filed on July 14, 2017.

AFFINION GROUP: Class Lawsuit vs. Webloyalty in Calif. Ongoing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on
July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that Webloyalty
still defends itself against a class action lawsuit pending in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

In 2011, the Company entered into a merger agreement that resulted
in the Webloyalty Acquisition and the acquisition of approximately
21% of the common stock of Affinion Holdings by investment funds
affiliated with General Atlantic LLC with the Apollo Funds
continuing to own approximately 70% of the common stock of
Affinion Holdings.

On June 7, 2012, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of California against
Webloyalty that was factually similar to the class action filed in
Connecticut.  The action claims that Webloyalty engaged in
unlawful business practices in violation of California Business
and Professional Code 17200, et seq. and in violation of CUTPA.
Both claims are based on allegations that in connection with
enrollment and billing of the Plaintiff, Webloyalty charged
Plaintiff's credit or debit card using information obtained
through a data pass process and without obtaining directly from
Plaintiff his full account number, name, address, and contact
information, as purportedly required under the Restore Online
Shoppers' Confidence Act.

On September 25, 2012, Webloyalty filed a motion to dismiss the
complaint in its entirety and the court scheduled a hearing on the
motion for January 14, 2013.  Webloyalty also sought judicial
notice of the enrollment page and related enrollment and account
documents.  Plaintiff filed his opposition on December 12, 2012,
and Webloyalty filed its reply submission on January 7, 2013.
Thereafter, on January 10, 2013, the court cancelled the
previously scheduled January 14, 2013 hearing and indicated that
it would rule based on the parties' written submissions without
the need for a hearing.

On August 28, 2013, the court sua sponte dismissed Plaintiff's
complaint without prejudice with leave to amend by September 30,
2013.  The Plaintiff filed his amended complaint on September 30,
2013, adding purported claims under the ECPA and for unjust
enrichment, money had and received, conversion, civil theft, and
invasion of privacy.

On December 2, 2013, the Company moved to dismiss Plaintiff's
amended complaint.  Plaintiff responded to the motion on January
27, 2014.

On February 6, 2014, the court indicated that it would review the
submissions and issue a decision on Plaintiff's motion without
oral argument.

On September 29, 2014, the court dismissed the Plaintiff's claims
on substantive grounds and/or statute of limitations grounds.  The
court allowed the Plaintiff 28 days to file a motion demonstrating
why a further amendment of the complaint was not futile.

On October 27, 2014, the Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to
amend the complaint and attached a proposed amended complaint.
The Company responded to the motion on November 10, 2014.

On June 22, 2015, the court entered a final order and judgment
denying Plaintiff's motion to amend, dismissing all federal claims
with prejudice, and dismissing all state claims without prejudice.

On July 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice appealing the dismissal
decision and denial of his request to further amend his complaint
to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  The Company
responded to the motion on November 10, 2014.

On June 22, 2015, the court entered a final order and judgment
denying Plaintiff's motion to amend, dismissing all federal claims
with prejudice, and dismissing all state claims without prejudice.

On July 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice appealing the dismissal
decision and denial of his request to further amend his complaint
to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The Plaintiff filed his opening appeal brief on November 19, 2015,
and the Company's answering brief was filed on January 19, 2016.
Plaintiff filed a reply brief on February 2, 2016.  A hearing on
the appeal was held on February 17, 2017.

On March 28, 2017, the Court of Appeals found that the Plaintiff's
current complaint had stated claims, which remain as of yet
unproven, sufficiently to permit him to proceed with the
litigation.  Specifically, the Court of Appeals reversed the
District Court's procedural dismissal of the Plaintiff's various
federal and state causes of action, with the exception of
dismissal of his ECPA claim and privacy-based state law claims,
which the Court of Appeals affirmed.  The Court of Appeals also
vacated the District Court's order denying the Plaintiff leave to
amend, thereby allowing the Plaintiff to reassert his claims under
the EFT, which had previously been dismissed.

The District Court has scheduled its first hearing to discuss the
Court of Appeals' decision for August 7, 2017.

proceeding brought to recover from the Defendant damages in the
amount of 60 days' pay and Employee Retirement Income Security Act
benefits as a result of the Defendant's violation of the
Plaintiff's rights under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act.

Alfred Angelo Newco, Inc., was a Florida corporation, which
maintained a facility at 1625 South Congress Avenue, in Delray
Beach, Florida.

The Chapter 7 bankruptcy case of the Debtor is captioned IN RE: AA
FLORIDA BRIDAL RETAIL COMPANY, LLC, et al., Case No. 17-18864-PGH.

Ms. Hightower was an employee of the Debtor and was terminated on
July 13, 2017, as part of, or as a result of a plant closing
ordered by the Defendant.  She contends that the Defendant
violated the WARN Act by failing to give her and other similarly
situated employees at least 60 days' advance written notice of
termination, as required by the WARN Act.  As a consequence, she
asserts, she and other similarly situated employees are entitled
under the WARN Act to recover from the Defendant their wages and
ERISA benefits for 60 days, none of which has been paid.[BN]

ARMOUR RESIDENTIAL: Awaits Court OK on Bid to Drop Merger Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. is awaiting court action on a motion
to dismiss a class action lawsuit related to the acquisition of
JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp., according to the Company's Form
10-Q filed on July 26, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

Nine putative class action lawsuits have been filed in connection
with the tender offer (the "Tender Offer") and merger (the
"Merger") for JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp.  The Tender Offer
and Merger are collectively defined herein as the "Transactions."
All nine suits name ARMOUR, the previous members of JAVELIN's
board of directors prior to the Merger (of which eight are current
members of ARMOUR's board of directors) (the "Individual
Defendants") and JMI Acquisition Corporation ("Acquisition") as
defendants.  Certain cases also name ACM and JAVELIN as additional
defendants.

The lawsuits were brought by purported holders of JAVELIN's common
stock, both individually and on behalf of a putative class of
JAVELIN's stockholders, alleging that the Individual Defendants
breached their fiduciary duties owed to the plaintiffs and the
putative class of JAVELIN stockholders, including claims that the
Individual Defendants failed to properly value JAVELIN; failed to
take steps to maximize the value of JAVELIN to its stockholders;
ignored or failed to protect against conflicts of interest; failed
to disclose material information about the Transactions; took
steps to avoid competitive bidding and to give ARMOUR an unfair
advantage by failing to adequately solicit other potential
acquirors or alternative transactions; and erected unreasonable
barriers to other third-party bidders.

The suits also allege that ARMOUR, JAVELIN, ACM and Acquisition
aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the
Individual Defendants.  The lawsuits seek equitable relief,
including, among other relief, to enjoin consummation of
3 the Transactions, or rescind or unwind the Transactions if
already consummated, and award costs and disbursements, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.  The sole Florida lawsuit
was never served on the defendants, and that case was voluntarily
dismissed and closed on January 20, 2017.

On April 25, 2016, the Maryland court issued an order
consolidating the eight Maryland cases into one action, captioned
In re JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp. Shareholder Litigation
(Case No. 24-C-16-001542), and designated counsel for one of the
Maryland cases as interim lead co-counsel.

On May 26, 2016, interim lead counsel filed the Consolidated
Amended Class Action Complaint for Breach of Fiduciary Duty
asserting consolidated claims of breach of fiduciary duty, aiding
and abetting the breaches of fiduciary duty, and waste.

On June 27, 2016, defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the
Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint for failing to state a
claim upon which relief can be granted.  A hearing was held on the
Motion to Dismiss on March 3, 2017, and the Court reserved ruling.

To date, the Court has not issued an order on the Motion to
Dismiss.

The Company said, "Each of ARMOUR, JAVELIN, ACM and the Individual
Defendants intends to defend the claims made in these lawsuits
vigorously; however, there can be no assurance that any of ARMOUR,
JAVELIN, ACM or the Individual Defendants will prevail in its
defense of any of these lawsuits to which it is a party.  An
unfavorable resolution of any such litigation surrounding the
Transactions may result in monetary damages being awarded to the
plaintiffs and the putative class of former stockholders of
JAVELIN and the cost of defending the litigation, even if resolved
favorably, could be substantial.  Due to the preliminary nature
all of these suits, ARMOUR is not able at this time to estimate
their outcome."

ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. invests in residential mortgage
backed securities in the United States.  It is managed by ARMOUR
Capital Management LP.  The Company was founded in 2008 and is
based in Vero Beach, Florida.

--------------------------------------------------------------

01374 (C.D. Cal., August 9, 2017), is a consumer fraud class
action brought on behalf of purchasers of the Behr Premium

Despite knowing that the DeckOver Products are defective, the
Defendants marketed and sold DeckOver to thousands upon thousands
of unsuspecting consumers, causing them to suffer extensive
monetary damage, Ms. Huskey alleges.  She contends that rather
than providing years of protection in exchange for its premium
price, DeckOver deteriorates quickly within mere months of its
application, and in some cases weeks.

called DeckOver that is sold exclusively at Home Depot branded
stores.  Behr Process Corporation and Behr Paint Corporation are

laws, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

The Company said, "We and certain current and former officers were
defendants in In re Biogen Inc. Securities Litigation, filed by a
shareholder on August 18, 2015, in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Massachusetts.  The amended complaint alleged
violations of federal securities laws under 15 U.S.C. Section
78j(b) and Section 78t(a) and 17 C.F.R. Section 240.10b-5 and the
lead plaintiff sought a declaration of the action as a class
action, certification as a representative of the class and its
counsel as class counsel, and an award of damages, interest and
attorneys' fees.  The U.S. District Court dismissed the case in
2016 and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed
the dismissal in May 2017.

"We and certain current and former officers are also defendants in

loss cannot be made at this time."

BRIDGEPOINT EDUCATION: Bid to Drop 3rd "Zamir" Complaint Pending
----------------------------------------------------------------
A motion to dismiss the third amended complaint in a securities
class action initiated in California by Nelda Zamir against
Bridgepoint Education, Inc. is currently pending with the court,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 26, 2017, with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2017.

On February 24, 2015, a securities class action complaint was
filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
California by Nelda Zamir naming the Company, Andrew Clark and
Daniel Devine as defendants.  The complaint asserts violations of
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, claiming that the defendants made false
and materially misleading statements and failed to disclose
material adverse facts regarding the Company's business,
operations and prospects, specifically regarding the Company's
improper application of revenue recognition methodology to assess
collectability of funds owed by students.  The complaint asserts a
putative class period stemming from August 7, 2012 to May 30, 2014
and seeks unspecified monetary relief, interest and attorneys'
fees.

On July 15, 2015, the Court granted plaintiff's motion for
appointment as lead plaintiff and for appointment of lead counsel.

On September 18, 2015, the plaintiff filed a substantially similar
amended complaint that asserts a putative class period stemming
from March 12, 2013 to May 30, 2014.  The amended complaint also
names Patrick Hackett, Adarsh Sarma, Warburg Pincus & Co., Warburg
Pincus LLC, Warburg Pincus Partners LLC, and Warburg Pincus
Private Equity VIII, L.P. as additional defendants.

On November 24, 2015, all defendants filed motions to dismiss.

On July 25, 2016, the Court granted the motions to dismiss and
granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint within 30
days.  Plaintiffs subsequently filed a second amended complaint
and the Company filed a second motion to dismiss on October 24,
2016, which was granted by the Court with leave to amend.

Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on April 19, 2017 and
the defendants filed a third motion to dismiss, which is currently
pending with the court.

The Company said, "The outcome of this legal proceeding is
uncertain at this point because of the many questions of fact and
law that may arise.  The Company has not accrued any liability
associated with this action."

Bridgepoint Education, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on
July 26, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that the case,
Nieder v. Ashford University, LLC, is still in discovery.

On October 4, 2016, Dustin Nieder filed a purported class action
against Ashford University in the Superior Court of the State of
California in San Diego.  The complaint is captioned Dustin Nieder
v. Ashford University, LLC and generally alleges various wage and
hour claims under California law for failure to pay overtime,
failure to pay minimum wages and failure to provide rest and meal
breaks.  The lawsuit seeks back pay, the cost of benefits,
penalties and interest on behalf of the putative class members, as
well as other equitable relief and attorneys' fees.  The Company
filed an answer denying the claims and the case is currently in
discovery.

The Company said, "The outcome of this legal proceeding is
uncertain at this point because of the many questions of fact and
law that may arise.  Based on information available to the Company
at present, it cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this
action.  Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability
associated with this action."

BUFFALO WILD WINGS: Still Faces FLSA and State Law Breach Claims
----------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. still defends itself against class action
suit under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), New York state law
and in other states, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 25, 2017.

On June 2, 2015, two of the Company's former employees (the
"plaintiffs") filed a collective action under the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA") and putative class action under New York
state law against the Company in the United States District Court
for the Western District of New York.  The claim alleges that the
Company has a policy or procedure requiring employees who receive
compensation in part through tip credits to perform work that is
ineligible for tip credit compensation at a tip credit rate in
violation of the FLSA and New York state law.

On September 27, 2016, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to
include putative class action claims under the laws of seven
additional states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The Company said, "We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit.
We believe there is a reasonable possibility of loss related to
these claims; however, given the early stage of the case, we are
currently unable to determine the potential range of exposure, if
any."

Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. owns, operates, and franchises
restaurants under Buffalo Wild Wings, R Taco, and PizzaRev names.
The company's restaurants provide various food products, as well
as non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages.  The Company was founded

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS: Bid to Drop "Sciabacucchi" Case Ongoing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Charter Communications, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2017, that the parties in the Matthew
Sciabacucchi litigation are providing additional briefing that the
court seeks in relation to whether plaintiff's claims are direct
or derivative.

In August 2015, a purported stockholder of Charter, Matthew
Sciabacucchi, filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery,
on behalf of a putative class of Charter stockholders, challenging
the transactions between Charter, TWC, A/N, and Liberty Broadband
announced by Charter on May 26, 2015.  The lawsuit names as
defendants Liberty Broadband, Charter, the board of directors of
Charter, and New Charter.

Plaintiff alleged that the Liberty Transactions improperly benefit
Liberty Broadband at the expense of other Charter shareholders,
and that Charter issued a false and misleading proxy statement in
connection with the Transactions and the Liberty Transactions.

Plaintiff requested, among other things, that the Delaware Court
of Chancery enjoin the September 21, 2015 special meeting of
Charter stockholders at which Charter stockholders were asked to
vote on the Transactions and the Liberty Transactions until the
defendants disclosed certain information relating to Charter, the
Transactions and the Liberty Transactions.  The disclosures
demanded by the plaintiff included (i) certain unlevered free cash
flow projections for Charter and (ii) a Form of Proxy and Right of
First Refusal Agreement ("Proxy") by and among Liberty Broadband,
A/N, Charter and New Charter, which was referenced in the
description of the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders
Agreement, dated May 23, 2015, among Charter, New Charter, Liberty
Broadband and A/N.

On September 9, 2015, Charter issued supplemental disclosures
containing unlevered free cash flow projections for Charter.  In
return, the plaintiff agreed its disclosure claims were moot and
withdrew its application to enjoin the Charter stockholder vote on
the Transactions and the Liberty Transactions.

Charter filed a motion to dismiss this litigation and on May 31,
2017, the court issued an opinion, concluding a number of issues
but reserving ruling on Charter's motion until further briefing
can be done regarding whether plaintiff's claims are direct or
derivative.

The parties are presently providing the additional briefing that
the court seeks.

The Company said, "Charter denies any liability, believes that it
has substantial defenses, and intends to vigorously defend this
suit.  Although Charter is unable to predict the outcome of this
lawsuit, it does not expect the outcome will have a material
effect on its operations, financial condition or cash flows."

Charter Communications, Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides
cable services to residential and commercial customers in the
United States.  It was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in
Stamford, Connecticut.


CHIPOTLE MEXICAN: Bid to Combine 2 Data Security Cases Pending
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2017, that a motion to consolidate the
purported class action complaint of Bellwether Community Credit
Union and of Alcoa Community Credit Union pending in Colorado
related to a data security incident is still pending.

The Company said, "In April 2017, our information security team
detected unauthorized activity on the network that supports
payment processing for our restaurants, and immediately began an
investigation with the help of leading computer security firms.
We also self-reported the issue to payment card processors and law
enforcement.  Our investigation detected malware designed to
access payment card data from cards used at point-of-sale devices
at most Chipotle restaurants, primarily in the period from March
24, 2017 through April 18, 2017.  The malware searched for track
data, which may include cardholder name, card number, expiration
date, and internal verification codes; however, no other customer
information was affected.  We have removed the malware from our
systems and continue to evaluate ways to enhance our security
measures.  We expect that substantially all of our investigation
costs will be covered by insurance.  It is not possible at this
time to reasonably estimate the amount of any payment card network
assessments or regulatory fines or penalties, for which our
insurance coverage is limited, or other liabilities in connection
with the incident.

"On May 4, 2017, Bellwether Community Credit Union filed a
purported class action complaint in the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado alleging that we negligently
failed to provide adequate security to protect the payment card
information of customers of the plaintiffs and those of other
similarly situated credit unions, banks and other financial
institutions alleged to be part of the putative class, causing
those institutions to suffer financial losses.  The complaint also
claims we were negligent per se based on alleged violations of
Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and similar state
laws.  The plaintiff seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief and
attorneys' fees.

"On May 26, 2017, Alcoa Community Credit Union filed a purported
class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Colorado making substantially the same allegations as the
Bellwether complaint and seeking substantially the same relief.
Bellwether and Alcoa have jointly moved to consolidate their
cases, and a ruling on the consolidation motion remains pending."

CHIPOTLE MEXICAN: Still Faces Shareholders Suits in N.Y. & Colo.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. continues to defend itself against
shareholder class actions pending in New York and in Colorado,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

On January 8, 2016, Susie Ong filed a complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of
a purported class of purchasers of shares of the Company's common
stock between February 4, 2015 and January 5, 2016.  The complaint
purports to state claims against the Company, each of the co-Chief
Executive Officers serving during the claimed class period and the
Chief Financial Officer under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act and related rules, based on the Company's alleged
failure during the claimed class period to disclose material
information about its quality controls and safeguards in relation
to consumer and employee health.

The complaint asserts that those failures and related public
statements were false and misleading and that, as a result, the
market price of the Company's stock was artificially inflated
during the claimed class period.  The complaint seeks damages on
behalf of the purported class in an unspecified amount, interest,
and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees and other
costs.

On March 8, 2017, the court granted the Company's motion to
dismiss the complaint, with leave to amend.

The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 7, 2017.

Additionally, on July 20, 2017, Elizabeth Kelly filed a complaint
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf
of a purported class of purchasers of shares of the Company's
common stock between February 5, 2016 and July 19, 2017, with
claims and factual allegations similar to the Ong complaint, based
primarily on media reports regarding illnesses associated with a
Chipotle restaurant in Sterling, Virginia.

The Company said, "We intend to defend these cases vigorously, but
it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the outcome
of or any potential liability from the cases."

wage and labor violations arising out of, among other things,

COASTHILLS CREDIT: "Warren" Sues Over Unjust Overdraft Fees
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gary Warren, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. CoastHills Credit Union and Does 1-10,
inclusive, Defendants, Case No. BC671582 (Cal. Super., August 9,
2017), seeks monetary damages, restitution, punitive damages and
injunctive relief against Defendant Coasthills arising from
CoastHills' practice of charging improper overdraft fees.  The
suit asserts breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing, and violation of the California
Unfair Competition Law.

Warren asserts that CoastHills charges overdraft fees for
transactions for which there was money in the checking account to
cover the transactions.

the Plaintiff, v. Thomas Dart, Sheriff of Cook County, et al., the
Defendants, Case No. 1:17-cv-04282 (N.D. Ill.), the Plaintiff
moves the Court to order that this case may proceed as a class
action under Fed.R.Civ.Proc. Rule 23(b)(2) for:

   "(i) all individuals incarcerated by the Sheriff of Cook
   County currently and in the future; (ii) classified as either

CORELOGIC INC: Unit Still Defends "Henderson" Class Action Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
CoreLogic, Inc.'s subsidiary continues to face a putative class
action initiated by Tyrone Henderson, et al., over alleged Fair
Credit Reporting Act violations, according to the Company's Form
10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

In February 2012, CoreLogic National Background Data, LLC (n/k/a
CoreLogic Background Data, LLC) ("CBD") was named as a defendant
in a putative class action styled Tyrone Henderson, et al., v.
CoreLogic National Background Data, in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.  Plaintiffs allege
violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and have pled a
putative class claim relating to CBD's return of criminal record
data in response to search queries initiated by its consumer
reporting agency customers, which then prepare and transmit
employment background screening reports to their employer
customers.  Plaintiffs contend that CBD failed to send notice
letters to consumers each time search results were returned to
CBD's consumer reporting agency customers.

In February 2016, the court denied CBD's motion for partial
summary judgment.  Plaintiffs initially sought to represent a
nationwide class of consumers who were the subject of searches
conducted by CBD's customers.  The court denied without prejudice
Plaintiffs' motion to certify a nationwide class on three separate
occasions in April 2015, April 2016 and September 2016.  However,
in September 2016, the court allowed Plaintiffs to seek
certification of three subclasses and in March 2017, Plaintiffs
filed a motion for class certification as to one of these
subclasses, seeking to certify a class of consumers for whom sex
offender records were returned that did not reflect a date of
birth associated with the record.  That motion is fully briefed
and remains pending.

CoreLogic, Inc. provides property information, analytics, and
data-enabled services in North America, Western Europe, and the
Asia Pacific.  It was formerly known as The First American
Corporation and changed its name to CoreLogic, Inc. in June 2010.
CoreLogic, Inc. was incorporated in 1894 and is headquartered in
Irvine, California.


CVS HEALTH: Accused by "Schultz" Suit of Overcharging Customers
---------------------------------------------------------------
MEGAN SCHULTZ, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. CVS HEALTH CORPORATION, Case No. 1:17-cv-00359
(D.R.I., August 7, 2017), accuses CVS of making money and getting
more business by agreeing with Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to
defraud its customers.

CVS's customers are not getting "affordable care" because CVS has
participated in a fraudulent scheme to overcharge for certain
generic pharmaceuticals (the "Affected Drugs"), the Plaintiff
alleges.  She contends that CVS deliberately charges customers,
who use their insurance more for the Affected Drugs as compared to
customers who pay cash or simply don't use their insurance.  She
brings the lawsuit for alleged violations of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, state consumer protection laws and common law
fraud.

CVS Health Corporation, doing business as CVS/Caremark,
CVS/Pharmacy, CVS/Minute Clinic, and CVS/Specialty is a Delaware
corporation with its principal place of business in Woonsocket,
Rhode Island.  CVS does business throughout the United States and
has more than 9,600 retail locations, serving approximately 100

DIGITALGLOBE INC: Court Denies Injunction Bids in Merger Suits
--------------------------------------------------------------
DigitalGlobe, Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on July 26,
2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that the motion for
preliminary injunction in the "Zand" and "Gussin" merger-related
putative class actions have been denied by the court on July 21,
2017.

DigitalGlobe and its Board of Directors are named as defendants in
six putative class action lawsuits filed by purported stockholders
of DigitalGlobe that challenge the upcoming merger with MacDonald,
Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. ("MDA").

The lawsuits include George Assad v. DigitalGlobe, Inc., et al.,
Case No. 1:17-cv-01097-PAB-NYW, Jeweltex Manufacturing Inc.
Retirement Plan v. DigitalGlobe, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-
01140-PAB-NYW, Royce Bussey v. DigitalGlobe, Inc., et al., Case
No. 1:17-cv-01159-PAB-NYW, Dane Gussin v. DigitalGlobe, Inc., et
al., Case No. 1:17-cv-01190-PAB-NYW Stuart Zand v. DigitalGlobe,
Inc., et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-01570-PAB-NYW, and Matthew Machion
v. DigitalGlobe, Inc., Case No. 1:17-cv-01692-NYW et al., all
filed in the U.S. District Court for the District Court of
Colorado except for Stuart Zand (filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Delaware and subsequently transferred to U.S.
District Court for the District Court of Colorado).

The complaints allege, among other things, that in connection with
MDA's proposed acquisition of DigitalGlobe, DigitalGlobe and its
Board of Directors purportedly agreed to a supposedly inadequate
price for the DigitalGlobe capital stock, omitted to disclose
information in the F-4 registration statement necessary to make
the statements therein not materially false or misleading, and
potentially engaged in self-dealing.

MDA is named as a defendant in three of the lawsuits; SSL MDA
Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MDA, and Merlin
Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SSL MDA Holdings,
Inc., are named as defendants in two of the lawsuits.

Plaintiffs seek as relief, among other things, declaratory and
injunctive relief, including enjoining or rescinding the
transaction and rescissory damages to the extent already
implemented, an order directing the dissemination of a
registration statement that is not false or misleading, and an
award of attorneys' and experts' fees.

On June 5, 2017, and June 14, 2017, plaintiffs in Zand and Gussin,
respectively, filed motions for preliminary injunction to enjoin
the merger until supplemental disclosures have been made to
address the alleged omissions in the F-4 registration statement.

On July 14, 2017, the court held a consolidated hearing on both
motions, and took the motions under submission.

On July 21, 2017, these motions for preliminary injunction were
denied by the court.

The Company said, "While it is too early to predict the outcome of
litigation or a reasonable range of potential losses, DigitalGlobe
and MDA believe these lawsuits are without merit.  Additional
lawsuits arising out of or relating to the merger agreement or the
merger may be filed in the future."

DigitalGlobe, Inc. provides earth-imagery, data, and analysis in
the United States and internationally.  It sources its imagery
solutions and other services from its own satellite constellation
and third-party providers.  The Company was formerly known as
EarthWatch, Incorporated and changed its name to DigitalGlobe,

caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws
and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the

The complaint says Defendants failed to disclose that the company
was improperly recognizing revenue, and that the Company's
disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting
were not effective. On this news, shares of the Company fell
$21.61 per share or over 45% from its previous closing price to
close at $26.05 per share on August 4, 2017, damaging investors

FACEBOOK INC: Trial on IPO Complaints Scheduled for Oct. 23
-----------------------------------------------------------
The trial on Facebook, Inc.'s motion for summary judgment on
various complaints related to its initial public offering is
scheduled to begin on October 23, 2017, according to the Company's
Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

The Company said, "Beginning on May 22, 2012, multiple putative
class actions, derivative actions, and individual actions were
filed in state and federal courts in the United States and in
other jurisdictions against us, our directors, and/or certain of
our officers alleging violation of securities laws or breach of
fiduciary duties in connection with our initial public offering
(IPO) and seeking unspecified damages.  We believe these lawsuits
are without merit, and we intend to continue to vigorously defend
them.  The vast majority of the cases in the United States, along
with multiple cases filed against The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. and
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (collectively referred to herein as
NASDAQ) alleging technical and other trading-related errors by
NASDAQ in connection with our IPO, were ordered centralized for
coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York.  In a series
of rulings in 2013 and 2014, the court denied our motion to
dismiss the consolidated securities class action and granted our
motions to dismiss the derivative actions against our directors
and certain of our officers.  On July 24, 2015, the court of
appeals affirmed the dismissal of the derivative actions.  On
December 11, 2015, the court granted plaintiffs' motion for class
certification in the consolidated securities action.  On April 14,
2017, we filed a motion for summary judgment.  Trial is scheduled
to begin on October 23, 2017."

FACEBOOK INC: Sept. 26 Hearing in Class C Reclassification Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Trial is scheduled to begin on September 26, 2017, for the
consolidated class action lawsuit styled In re Facebook, Inc.
Class C Reclassification Litig., C.A. No. 12286-VCL, according to
Facebook, Inc.'s Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

The Company said, "On April 27, 2016, we announced a proposal to
create a new class of non-voting capital stock (Class C capital
stock) and our intention to declare and pay a dividend of two
shares of Class C capital stock for each outstanding share of
Class A and Class B common stock (the Reclassification).
Following our announcement of the Reclassification, beginning on
April 29, 2016, multiple purported class action lawsuits were
filed on behalf of our stockholders in the Delaware Court of
Chancery against us, certain of our board of directors, and Mark
Zuckerberg.  The lawsuits have been consolidated under the caption
In re Facebook, Inc. Class C Reclassification Litig., C.A. No.
12286-VCL, and the consolidated complaint generally alleges that
the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with
the Reclassification.  Among other remedies, these lawsuits seek
to enjoin the Reclassification as well as unspecified money
damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.  Trial is scheduled to begin
on September 26, 2017.  We believe that the lawsuits are without
merit and intend to vigorously defend against all claims
asserted."

individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY, Case No. 2:17-cv-12599-TGB-SDD (E.D. Mich.,
August 9, 2017), is brought on behalf of those who purchased,
leased or own a Class Vehicle, for the Defendant's alleged breach
of express and implied warranties, fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and unfair trade practices,
concerning a known defect in thousands of vehicles sold in the
United States.

The affected vehicles are 2016 and 2017 model year Ford Explorers.
The Class Vehicles include a defective exhaust and Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system that allows exhaust odor
and gases, including carbon monoxide -- an odorless, toxic gas, to
enter the passenger compartment of the vehicles while in use,
according to the complaint.  The Plaintiffs contend that the
defect exposes them and Class members to noxious gases, such as
carbon monoxide, when the vehicles are in use and creates a clear
safety hazard.

Ford Motor Company is a Delaware corporation, with its corporate
headquarters located in Dearborn, Michigan.  Ford designs,
engineers, manufactures, markets and sells vehicles throughout the

FORD MOTOR CREDIT: Appeal in "Agrawal" Class Suit Still Pending
---------------------------------------------------------------
An appeal is still pending in the Supreme Court of Ohio related to
a class certification ruling in the case Ford Motor Credit Company
v. Sudesh Agrawal, according to Ford Motor's Form 10-Q filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2017.

On January 18, 2011, a state trial court judge in Cuyahoga County,
Ohio certified a nationwide class action with an Ohio subclass in
a counterclaim arising out of a collection action.  Class
claimants allege breach of contract, fraud, and statutory
violations for Ford Credit's lease-end wear and use charges.
Class claimants allege that the standard applied by Ford Credit in
determining the condition of vehicles at lease-end is different
than the standard set forth in claimants' leases.

The Court of Appeals of Ohio, Eighth Appellate District, affirmed
nationwide class certification and certification of an Ohio
subclass.  The Company appealed, and on December 17, 2013, the
Supreme Court of Ohio reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded
the case for further proceedings.

On March 13, 2014, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court
order certifying the classes and remanded the case for further
proceedings.

On September 28, 2015, the trial court re-certified a nationwide
class action with an Ohio subclass. The Company appealed, and on
September 22, 2016, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court
order certifying the classes and remanded the case for further
proceedings.

On April 24, 2017, the claimant filed an appeal to the Supreme
Court of Ohio.  On May 23, 2017, the Company filed a response.

various automotive financing products to and through automotive

GENERAL MOTORS: Faces "Kleszynski" Securities Suit Over Duramax
---------------------------------------------------------------
ROBERT KLESZYNSKI, Individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated v. GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY, DANIEL F. AKERSON,
MARY T. BARRA, DANIEL AMMANN, and CHARLES K. STEVENS III, Case No.
2:17-cv-12565-VAR-APP (E.D.N.Y., August 8, 2017), alleges that the
Defendants made false and misleading statements, and failed to
disclose that:

   (1) the Company installed three distinct defeat devices in
       over 700,000 trucks with Duramax diesel engines from 2011
       to 2016 to beat emissions tests in the U.S.;

   (2) in turn, these trucks emit up to five times the legal
       limit of nitrogen oxide pollutants; and

   (3) as a result, the Company's public statements were
       materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The defeat devises allow the vehicle to meet emissions standards
in the test temperature range, while allowing two to five times
the legal amount of nitrogen-oxide pollutants to be emitted at all
other times, says the complaint.

On the revelation of the installed defeat devices, shares of the
Company fell $0.60 per share or over 1.8% from its previous
closing price to close at $32.60 per share on May 25, 2017,
thereby damaging investors.

GM designs, builds, and sells cars, trucks, crossovers, and

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: ERISA Lawsuit Still Ongoing in New York
---------------------------------------------------------------
International Business Machines Corporation disclosed in its Form
10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
the quarter ended June 30, 2017, that an ERISA class action
lawsuit remains pending in New York court.

In May 2015, a putative class action was commenced in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York
related to the company's October 2014 announcement that it was
divesting its global commercial semiconductor technology business,
alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
("ERISA").  The company, management's Retirement Plans Committee,
and three current or former IBM executives were named as
defendants.

On September 7, 2016, the Court granted the company's motion to
dismiss the plaintiffs' claims.

On October 21, 2016, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint,
dropping the company as a defendant.  The matter remains pending
in the United States District Court.

International Business Machines Corporation provides information
technology (IT) products and services worldwide. Its Cognitive
Solutions segment includes Watson, a cognitive computing platform
that interacts in natural language, processes big data, and learns
from interactions with people and computers.  The Company was
formerly known as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. and changed
its name to International Business Machines Corporation in 1924.
It was founded in 1910 and is headquartered in Armonk, New York.


INTERNATIONAL PAPER: "Huerta" Suit Seeks to Certify Class
---------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit captioned GEORGE HUERTA, on his own behalf and all
similarly situated individuals, the Plaintiff, v. INTERNATIONAL
PAPER COMPANY, the Defendant, Case No. 8:17-cv-01155-SDM-MAP (M.D.
Fla.), the Plaintiff moves the Court to certify a Fair Credit
Reporting Act case as a class action for this Background Check
Class of similarly-situated persons:

   "all International Paper Company employees and job applicants
   who applied for or worked in a position at International Paper
   Company in the United States and who were the subject of a
   consumer report that was procured by International Paper
   Company within two years of the filing of this complaint
   through the date of final judgment and as to whom
   International Paper Company used the employment application
   and purported disclosure and authorization form."

Defendant routinely obtains and uses information in consumer
reports to conduct background checks on prospective and existing
employees, and frequently relies on such information, in whole or
in part, for employment purposes. While the use of consumer report
information for employment purposes is not unlawful, it is subject
to strict disclosure and authorization requirements under the
FCRA. The Defendant willfully violated the FCRA in multiple ways.
In terms of Plaintiff's first class claim, Defendant violated 15
U.S.C. by procuring consumer reports on Plaintiff and other
putative class members for employment purposes without first
making proper disclosures in the format required by the statute.

INVUITY INC: California Stockholder Class Action Still Ongoing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Invuity, Inc. continues to defend itself against a stockholder
class action filed in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, according to the Company's Form
10-Q filed on July 26, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

On February 27, 2017, a purported stockholder class action titled
Paciga v. Invuity, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:17-cv-01005, was filed
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, and
its Chief Financial Officer.

The complaint alleges that the defendants made false or misleading
statements to investors regarding the Company's business
prospects.  The complaint purports to assert claims for violation
of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Commission Rule
10b-5 on behalf of a purported class consisting of all purchasers
of the Company's common stock between July 19, 2016 and November
3, 2016, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorney fees
and costs, and other relief.

On May 30, 2017, the Court appointed Mike Paciga as lead
plaintiff.  The lead plaintiff had until July 31, 2017 to either
file an amended complaint or designate the current complaint as
the operative complaint.

Invuity said, "The Company intends to defend the litigation
vigorously.  Based on information currently available, the Company
has determined that the amount of any possible loss or range of
possible loss is not reasonably estimable."

Invuity, Inc., a medical technology company, develops various
surgical devices to address various surgical procedures in the
United States.  The Company integrates its intelligent photonics
technology platform into its single-use and reusable advanced

KELLOGG SALES: Must Face Class Action Over Cereal Labels
--------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Renda, writing for Courthouse News Service, reported that
the maker of Raisin Bran and Frosted Mini-Wheats must answer a
legal challenge in federal court in San Jose, California, saying
Kellogg's breakfast cereals are in fact unhealthy and contribute
to obesity and disease because they are laced with extra sugar, in
the wake of a 64-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh who
sits in a jurisdiction sometimes referred to by its own judges as
"the food court."

Koh granted in part and denied in part Kellogg's motion to dismiss
a class action claiming several of its cereals and breakfast bars
are labeled as healthy when they contain enough sugar to
compromise the health of people who eat it regularly.

"The court finds that plaintiff has adequately alleged that
defendant's products are unhealthy due to excess added sugar for
the purposes of the instant motion to dismiss," Koh wrote in the
64-page ruling.

Plaintiff Stephen Hadley says he has eaten Kellogg's products in
the morning for several years, content in his belief that he was
eating healthy options for breakfast. However, he claims he
recently discovered that the amount of sugar the company puts in
several of its products puts him at greater risk of contracting
diseases related to excessive consumption of sugary foods --
including metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular
disease, liver disease, obesity, inflammation, high cholesterol,
hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and some cancers.

The product lines in question include Kellogg's Raisin Bran,
Frosted Mini-Wheats, Smart Start-Original Antioxidants, Crunchy
Nut, Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars, Nutri-grain Soft-Baked Breakfast
Bars, Nutri-Grain Oat & Harvest Bars, and Nutri-Grain Harvest
Hearty Breakfast Bars. These lines also have variants, bringing
the total number of products involved in the lawsuit to 29.

Hadley says the products contain anywhere from 18 to 40 percent of
a person's daily recommended value of sugar, beyond the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration guideline of 10 percent.

Kellogg argued Hadley doesn't know how much sugar is in each
product, and that advertising related to the health benefits of
its products are either true or harmless puffery common to
advertising language.  Specifically, Kellogg argued the FDA's
establishment of the 10 percent rule gave the company safe harbor
because they have manufactured their products to hew closely to
the guidelines.

But Koh said this adherence to federal dietary guidelines does not
protect the company from litigation.

Kellogg next turned to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of
1990, which the company said pre-empts any claims filed under
California Consumer Legal Remedies Act and other state-related
laws cited in the original lawsuit.

Koh said that certain language the company used relates to matters
determined by the FDA and therefore are not bound by state laws in
California, but that other claims made by the company could be
adjudicated under state laws.

"The three claims identified in the parties' briefing, the court
finds that the No High Fructose Corn Syrup and Heart Healthy
claims are not pre-empted at this stage of the litigation," Koh
wrote in the ruling.

Finally, Koh agreed with Kellogg that some of the language
identified by Hadley is hyperbole common to advertising, but said
some of the assertions made by Kellogg do not amount to sales
puffery.

"The court finds that the 'unbelievably nutritious' and
'positively nutritious' statements are puffery, but that the
'nutritious,' "essential nutrients," and 'wholesome' statements
cannot be dismissed as puffery in the instant motion to dismiss,"
Koh wrote.

Koh dismisses claims relating to 5 of the 29 products with
prejudice, finding the statements made in relation to those
products are puffery. However, claims made pertaining to the
remaining 24 products -- including Raisin Bran, Frosted Mini
Wheats and several lines of breakfast bars -- will move forward.

"The court denies defendant's motion to dismiss as to the above-
listed 24 products because these products contain at least one
statement that the court found was not pre-empted, non-misleading,
or puffery as a matter of law," Koh wrote.

The case is captioned, STEPHEN HADLEY, Plaintiff, v. KELLOGG SALES
COMPANY, Defendant, Case 5:16-cv-04955-LHK(N.D. Cal., August 10,
2017).

L3 TECHNOLOGIES: Missouri Court OKs Settlement of Consumer Suits
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri has
approved a settlement to resolve five class action consumer
lawsuits against L3 Technologies, Inc., according to the Company's
Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

During 2015 and 2016, five putative class action complaints
against the Company were filed in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Missouri alleging that the Company's
EoTech business unit knowingly sold defective holographic weapons
sights (Andrew Tyler Foster, et al., v. L-3 Communications EoTech,
Inc., et al., Case No. 6:15 CV 03519 BCW).

In October 2016, the parties reached a settlement in principle to
resolve the allegations in these cases.

On July 7, 2017, the court entered an order granting final
approval of the settlement and dismissing the class action
lawsuits with prejudice.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has accrued the amount deemed
appropriate for this matter.

L3 Technologies, Inc. provides aerospace systems, and
communication and electronic systems and products used on military
and commercial platforms in the United States and internationally.
It operates in three segments: Electronic Systems, Aerospace
Systems, and Communication Systems.  It was formerly known as L-3
Communications Holdings, Inc. and changed its name to L3
Technologies, Inc. in December 2016.  The Company was founded in
1997 and is headquartered in New York, New York.


L3 TECHNOLOGIES: NY Court Ruling on Securities Suit Deal Pending
----------------------------------------------------------------
L3 Technologies, Inc. is awaiting court action on the final
approval of the proposed settlement of a securities class action
against the Company, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filed on
July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

In August 2014, three separate, putative class actions were filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York (the District Court) against the Company and certain of
its officers.  These cases were consolidated into a single action
on October 24, 2014.  A consolidated amended complaint was filed
in the District Court on December 22, 2014, which was further
amended and restated on March 13, 2015.

The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws
related to misconduct and accounting errors identified by the
Company at its Aerospace Systems segment, and seeks monetary
damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and fees and expenses.

On March 30, 2016, the District Court dismissed with prejudice all
claims against the Company's officers and allowed the claim
against the Company to proceed to discovery.

On December 20, 2016, the parties reached an agreement in
principle to resolve this matter for US$34.5 million, subject to
the execution of definitive settlement documents and final court
approval.

On February 22, 2017, the parties executed a final settlement
agreement.

On March 10, 2017, the court preliminarily approved the
settlement.  In accordance with the settlement agreement, the
Company's insurers have paid the settlement amount into an escrow
account that will be used to fully fund the settlement subject to
the terms of the settlement agreement.

A fairness hearing for the proposed settlement was scheduled for
August 10, 2017.

No further updates were provided in the Company's SEC report.

L3 TECHNOLOGIES: Still Faces 401(k) Plan Class Suit in NY
---------------------------------------------------------
L3 Technologies, Inc. still defends in a putative class action
regarding a Company-sponsored 401(k) plan, according to the
Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

On June 24, 2016, a putative class action was filed in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York on
behalf of participants in and beneficiaries of a Company-sponsored
401(k) plan.  An amended complaint was filed on September 29,
2016.

The amended complaint alleged that certain of the Company's
officers breached fiduciary duties owed under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act by making the Company's stock
available as an investment alternative under the plan during a
period prior to the 2014 disclosure of misconduct and accounting
errors identified by the Company at its Aerospace Systems segment.
The complaint sought, among other things, monetary damages,
equitable relief, pre-judgment interest, and fees and expenses.

On December 2, 2016, the matter was voluntarily dismissed without
prejudice.

On January 27, 2017, a new putative class action was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
on behalf of the same 401(k) participants and beneficiaries,
asserting substantially similar claims against the same officers
of the Company.

On March 28, 2017, the Company moved to dismiss the action.

L3 Technologies said, "The Company believes the suit lacks merit
and intends to defend against it vigorously.  The Company is
unable to reasonably estimate any amount or range of loss, if any,
that may be incurred in connection with this matter because the
proceedings are in their early stages."

MASTERCARD INC: Has US$706M Liability Reserve for Merchant Cases
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mastercard Incorporated said in its Form 10-Q filed on July 27,
2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that Mastercard had accrued
a liability of US$706 million as a reserve for both the merchant
class litigation and the filed and anticipated opt-out merchant
cases.

In June 2005, the first of a series of complaints were filed on
behalf of merchants (the majority of the complaints were styled as
class actions, although a few complaints were filed on behalf of
individual merchant plaintiffs) against Mastercard International,
Visa U.S.A., Inc., Visa International Service Association and a
number of financial institutions.  Taken together, the claims in
the complaints were generally brought under both Sections 1 and 2
of the Sherman Act, which prohibit monopolization and attempts or
conspiracies to monopolize a particular industry, and some of
these complaints contain unfair competition law claims under state
law.  The complaints allege, among other things, that Mastercard,
Visa, and certain financial institutions conspired to set the
price of interchange fees, enacted point of sale acceptance rules
(including the no surcharge rule) in violation of antitrust laws
and engaged in unlawful tying and bundling of certain products and
services.  The cases were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in
MDL No. 1720.  The plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action
complaint that seeks treble damages.

In July 2006, the group of purported merchant class plaintiffs
filed a supplemental complaint alleging that Mastercard's initial
public offering of its Class A Common Stock in May 2006 (the
"IPO") and certain purported agreements entered into between
Mastercard and financial institutions in connection with the IPO:
(1) violate U.S. antitrust laws and (2) constituted a fraudulent
conveyance because the financial institutions allegedly attempted
to release, without adequate consideration, Mastercard's right to
assess them for Mastercard's litigation liabilities.  The class
plaintiffs sought treble damages and injunctive relief including,
but not limited to, an order reversing and unwinding the IPO.

In February 2011, Mastercard and Mastercard International entered
into each of: (1) an omnibus judgment sharing and settlement
sharing agreement with Visa Inc., Visa U.S.A.  Inc. and Visa
International Service Association and a number of financial
institutions; and (2) a Mastercard settlement and judgment sharing
agreement with a number of financial institutions.  The agreements
provide for the apportionment of certain costs and liabilities
which Mastercard, the Visa parties and the financial institutions
may incur, jointly and/or severally, in the event of an adverse
judgment or settlement of one or all of the cases in the merchant
litigations.  Among a number of scenarios addressed by the
agreements, in the event of a global settlement involving the Visa
parties, the financial institutions and Mastercard, Mastercard
would pay 12% of the monetary portion of the settlement.  In the
event of a settlement involving only Mastercard and the financial
institutions with respect to their issuance of Mastercard cards,
Mastercard would pay 36% of the monetary portion of such
settlement.

In October 2012, the parties entered into a definitive settlement
agreement with respect to the merchant class litigation (including
with respect to the claims related to the IPO) and the defendants
separately entered into a settlement agreement with the individual
merchant plaintiffs.  The settlements included cash payments that
were apportioned among the defendants pursuant to the omnibus
judgment sharing and settlement sharing agreement described above.
Mastercard also agreed to provide class members with a short-term
reduction in default credit interchange rates and to modify
certain of its business practices, including its "no surcharge"
rule.  The court granted final approval of the settlement in
December 2013, and objectors to the settlement appealed that
decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  In
June 2016, the court of appeals vacated the class action
certification, reversed the settlement approval and sent the case
back to the district court for further proceedings.  The court of
appeals' ruling was based primarily on whether the merchants were
adequately represented by counsel in the settlement.

Prior to the reversal of the settlement approval, merchants
representing slightly more than 25% of the Mastercard and Visa
purchase volume over the relevant period chose to opt out of the
class settlement.  Mastercard had anticipated that most of the
larger merchants who opted out of the settlement would initiate
separate actions seeking to recover damages, and over 30 opt-out
complaints have been filed on behalf of numerous merchants in
various jurisdictions.  Mastercard has executed settlement
agreements with a number of opt-out merchants.  Mastercard
believes these settlement agreements are not impacted by the
ruling of the court of appeals.  The defendants have consolidated
all of these matters (except for two state court actions) in front
of the same federal district court that approved the merchant
class settlement.  In July 2014, the district court denied the
defendants' motion to dismiss the opt-out merchant complaints for
failure to state a claim.  Deposition discovery commenced in
December 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, Mastercard had accrued a liability of US$706
million as a reserve for both the merchant class litigation and
the filed and anticipated opt-out merchant cases.  As of June 30,
2017 and December 31, 2016, Mastercard had US$544 million and
US$543 million, respectively, in a qualified cash settlement fund
related to the merchant class litigation and classified as
restricted cash on its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company said, "Mastercard believes the reserve for both the
merchant class litigation and the filed and anticipated opt-out
merchants represents its best estimate of its probable liabilities
in these matters at June 30, 2017.  The portion of the accrued
liability relating to both the opt-out merchants and the merchant
class litigation settlement does not represent an estimate of a
loss, if any, if the matters were litigated to a final outcome.
Mastercard cannot estimate the potential liability if that were to
occur."

Mastercard Incorporated, a technology company, provides
transaction processing and other payment-related products and
services in the United States and internationally.  It offers
payment solutions and services under the MasterCard, Maestro, and
Cirrus brands.  Mastercard Incorporated was founded in 1966 and is
headquartered in Purchase, New York.


MASTERCARD INC: Parties in Canadian Suit Reach Settlement Pact
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mastercard Incorporated said in its Form 10-Q filed on July 27,
2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that it has entered into a
class settlement agreement with Canadian merchants that requires
Mastercard to make cash payment and modify its "no surcharge"
rule.  The deal is subject to court approval in each applicable
province.

In December 2010, a proposed class action complaint was commenced
against Mastercard in Quebec on behalf of Canadian merchants.  The
suit essentially repeated the allegations and arguments of a
previously filed application by the Canadian Competition Bureau to
the Canadian Competition Tribunal (dismissed in Mastercard's
favor) concerning certain Mastercard rules related to point-of-
sale acceptance, including the "honor all cards" and "no
surcharge" rules.  The Quebec suit sought compensatory and
punitive damages in unspecified amounts, as well as injunctive
relief.

In the first half of 2011, additional purported class action
lawsuits were commenced in British Columbia and Ontario against
Mastercard, Visa and a number of large Canadian financial
institutions.  The British Columbia suit sought compensatory
damages in unspecified amounts, and the Ontario suit sought
compensatory damages of US$5 billion on the basis of alleged
conspiracy and various alleged breaches of the Canadian
Competition Act.  Additional purported class action complaints
were commenced in Saskatchewan and Alberta with claims that
largely mirror those in the other suits.

In June 2017, Mastercard entered into a class settlement agreement
to resolve all of the Canadian class action litigation.  The
settlement, which is subject to court approval in each applicable
province, requires Mastercard to make cash payment and modify its
"no surcharge" rule.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provision
for litigation of US$15 million related to this matter.

Mastercard Incorporated, a technology company, provides
transaction processing and other payment-related products and
services in the United States and internationally.  It offers
payment solutions and services under the MasterCard, Maestro, and
Cirrus brands.  Mastercard Incorporated was founded in 1966 and is
headquartered in Purchase, New York.


MASTERCARD INC: ATM Surcharge Complaints Proceed to Discovery
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mastercard Incorporated continues to defend against the ATM Non-
Discrimination Rule Surcharge Complaints, according to the
Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

In October 2011, a trade association of independent Automated
Teller Machine ("ATM") operators and 13 independent ATM operators
filed a complaint styled as a class action lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia against both
Mastercard and Visa (the "ATM Operators Complaint").  Plaintiffs
seek to represent a class of non-bank operators of ATM terminals
that operate in the United States with the discretion to determine
the price of the ATM access fee for the terminals they operate.
Plaintiffs allege that Mastercard and Visa have violated Section 1
of the Sherman Act by imposing rules that require ATM operators to
charge non-discriminatory ATM surcharges for transactions
processed over Mastercard's and Visa's respective networks that
are not greater than the surcharge for transactions over other
networks accepted at the same ATM.  Plaintiffs seek both
injunctive and monetary relief equal to treble the damages they
claim to have sustained as a result of the alleged violations and
their costs of suit, including attorneys' fees.  Plaintiffs have
not quantified their damages although they allege that they expect
damages to be in the tens of millions of dollars.

Subsequently, multiple related complaints were filed in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia alleging both federal
antitrust and multiple state unfair competition, consumer
protection and common law claims against Mastercard and Visa on
behalf of putative classes of users of ATM services (the "ATM
Consumer Complaints").  The claims in these actions largely mirror
the allegations made in the ATM Operators Complaint, although
these complaints seek damages on behalf of consumers of ATM
services who pay allegedly inflated ATM fees at both bank and non-
bank ATM operators as a result of the defendants' ATM rules.
Plaintiffs seek both injunctive and monetary relief equal to
treble the damages they claim to have sustained as a result of the
alleged violations and their costs of suit, including attorneys'
fees.  Plaintiffs have not quantified their damages although they
allege that they expect damages to be in the tens of millions of
dollars.

In January 2012, the plaintiffs in the ATM Operators Complaint and
the ATM Consumer Complaints filed amended class action complaints
that largely mirror their prior complaints.  In February 2013, the
district court granted Mastercard's motion to dismiss the
complaints for failure to state a claim.

On appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the district court's
order in August 2015 and sent the case back for further
proceedings.

In March 2016, certain of the plaintiffs in the ATM Operators
Complaint filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction
enjoining the enforcement of the nondiscrimination rules pending
the outcome of the litigation.

In May 2017, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion and the case
is now proceeding to discovery.

MASTERCARD INC: Still Defends U.S. Liability Shift Litigation
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mastercard Incorporated continues to defend itself in the U.S.
Liability Shift Litigation, which has been transferred to New
York, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017,
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2017.

In March 2016, a proposed U.S. merchant class action complaint was
filed in federal court in California alleging that Mastercard,
Visa, American Express and Discover (the "Network Defendants"),
EMVCo, and a number of issuing banks (the "Bank Defendants")
engaged in a conspiracy to shift fraud liability for card present
transactions from issuing banks to merchants not yet in compliance
with the standards for EMV chip cards in the United States (the
"EMV Liability Shift"), in violation of the Sherman Act and
California law.

Plaintiffs allege damages equal to the value of all chargebacks
for which class members became liable as a result of the EMV
Liability Shift on October 1, 2015.  The plaintiffs seek treble
damages, attorney's fees and costs and an injunction against
future violations of governing law, and the defendants have filed
a motion to dismiss.

In September 2016, the court denied the Network Defendants' motion
to dismiss the complaint, but granted such a motion for EMVCo and
the Bank Defendants.

In May 2017, the court transferred the case to New York so that
discovery could be coordinated with an ongoing U.S. merchant class
interchange litigation.

MDL 2437: Wallboard Price Fixing Conspiracy Claims Still Pending
----------------------------------------------------------------
USG Corporation still defends itself against litigations,
including a class action in Canada, related to a conspiracy in
fixing wallboard prices, according to the Company's Form 10-Q
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

In the first quarter of 2015, USG, United States Gypsum Company,
L&W Supply Corporation, and 7 other wallboard manufacturers were
named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in federal court in
California by 12 homebuilders alleging that since at least
September 2011, U.S. wallboard manufacturers conspired to fix and
raise the price of gypsum wallboard sold in the United States and
to effectuate the alleged conspiracy by ending the practice of
providing job quotes on wallboard.

The lawsuit was transferred to the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania under the title In re:
Domestic Drywall Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2437.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Court dismissed with prejudice
the portions of the homebuilders' complaint alleging a conspiracy
in 2014 and 2015, ruling that there were insufficient factual
allegations to allow such a claim to go forward.

The homebuilders' claims alleging a conspiracy prior to 2014 have
not been dismissed, and the case proceeds as to those claims.  USG
has agreed to defend and indemnify L&W Supply Corporation with
regard to this matter.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2013, class action lawsuits
making similar allegations with regard to Canada were filed in
Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia courts on behalf of
purchasers of wallboard in Canada and naming USG Corporation,
United States Gypsum Company, CGC Inc., and other wallboard
manufacturers as defendants.

The Company said, "We believe that the cost, if any, of resolving
the homebuilders' lawsuit and Canadian class action litigation
will not have a material effect on our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows."

USG Corporation, through its subsidiaries, manufactures and sells
building materials worldwide.  The Company distributes its
products through building material dealers, home improvement
centers and other retailers, specialty wallboard distributors, and
contractors.  USG Corporation was founded in 1901 and is

MEDITAB SOFTWARE: Placeholder Bid for Class Certification Filed
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the lawsuit entitled CARLTON & HARRIS CHIROPRACTIC, INC., a
West Virginia corporation, individually and as the representative
of a class of similarly-situated persons, the Plaintiff, v.
MEDITAB SOFTWARE, INC. and JOHN DOES 1-5, the Defendants, Case No.
3:17-cv-03822 (S.D. W.Va.), Plaintiff asks the Court to certify a
class, appoint Plaintiff as the class representative, and appoint
Plaintiff's attorneys as class counsel.

To avoid the risk of a defendant mooting a putative class
representative's individual stake in the litigation, the Seventh
Circuit in Damasco instructed plaintiffs to file a certification
motion with the complaint, along with a motion to stay briefing on
the certification motion until discovery could commence. Damasco
v. Clearwire Corp., 662 F.3d 891 (7th Cir. 2011), overruled,
Chapman v. First Index, Inc., 796 F.3d 783, 787 (7th Cir. 2015).

As this motion to certify a class is a placeholder motion as
described in Damasco, the parties and the Court should not be
burdened with unnecessary paperwork and the resulting expense when
a one paragraph, single page motion to certify and stay should
suffice until an amended motion is filed, the Plaintiffs contend.

MINEBEA MITSUMI: Faces Class Suit on Competition Laws in Canada
---------------------------------------------------------------
Minebea Mitsumi Inc. disclosed in its Form 20-F filed on July 26,
2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, that a class action suit has
been brought in Canada against the Company for the alleged
infringement of competition laws related to the trading of small-
sized ball bearing products, among others.

The Company said, "Depending on the outcome of this lawsuit,
Minebea Mitsumi may incur losses. However, Minebea Mitsumi can
neither measure the amount of said losses with sufficient
reliability at this time nor determine whether they will affect
Minebea Mitsumi's operating results or financial position.

"With respect to this class action suit, which remained
outstanding as of March 31, 2017, Minebea Mitsumi has not
recognized any provision for loss contingencies, as the conditions
for a provision have not been met."

Minebea Mitsumi Inc. manufactures and supplies machined
components, and electronic devices and components in China, Japan,
Thailand, Europe, the United States, and internationally. It
operates through three Segments: Machined Components, Electronic
Devices and Components, and Mitsumi business.

It serves customers in IT, telecommunications, aerospace,
automotive, home appliance, and other industries.  The Company was
formerly known as Minebea Co., Ltd. and changed its name to
Minebea Mitsumi Inc. in January 2017.  It was founded in 1951 and
is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.


MONOGRAM RESIDENTIAL: Faces "Hertz" Suit over Merger Bid
--------------------------------------------------------
Daniel W. Staples, writing for Courthouse News Service, reported
that the proposed $3 billion merger of Monogram Residential Trust
and Greystar Real Estate Partners has prompted shareholders to
file a federal class action in Baltimore.

Filed in Maryland on Aug. 4, the 15-page complaint comes exactly a
month after the announcement that Greystar's new fund, Greystar
Growth and Income Fund LP, will acquire all of Monogram's
outstanding stock at $12 a share in an all-cash transaction.

Claiming that Monogram breached its fiduciary duty to
shareholders, lead plaintiff Bradley Hertz says the company and
its board of directors "issued materially incomplete and
misleading disclosures in the Schedule 14A Definitive Proxy
Statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the proposed transaction."

Dated July 28, the proxy "is rendered misleading by the omission
of critical information concerning the company's expected future
value as a standalone entity as evidenced by the company's
financial projections, and the financial analysis underlying the
fairness opinion provided by Morgan Stanley."

Hertz says the filing was designed to convince shareholders to
vote in favor of the deal.

As of June 30, 2017, Monogram had 167,031,843 shares of common
stock outstanding. According to an announcement of the merger,
Greystar's $12-a-share offer represents a premium of approximately
22 percent to Monogram's unaffected closing stock price on July 3,
2017 -- the last trading day prior to the public announcement of
the transaction.

With its principal executive offices in Plano, Texas, Monogram's
investment portfolio stretches across "49 multifamily communities
in 10 states comprising 13,674 apartment homes," according to the
complaint.

Monogram has not responded to an email requesting for comment.

The class wants an injunction to keep the deal from closing. They
are represented by Donald Enright with Levi & Korsinsky in
Washington.

PHILIP MORRIS: ADESF Class Suit in Brazil vs. Unit Still Ongoing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Philip Morris International Inc. disclosed that a subsidiary still
defends itself against a class action filed in Brazil by consumer
organization The Smoker Health Defense Association, according to
the Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2017, with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

In the class action pending in Brazil, The Smoker Health Defense
Association (ADESF) v. Souza Cruz, S.A. and Philip Morris
Marketing, S.A., Nineteenth Lower Civil Court of the Central
Courts of the Judiciary District of Sao Paulo, Brazil, filed July
25, 1995, the Company's subsidiary and another member of the
industry are defendants.  The plaintiff, a consumer organization,
is seeking damages for all addicted smokers and former smokers,
and injunctive relief.

In 2004, the trial court found defendants liable without hearing
evidence and awarded "moral damages" of BRL1,000 (approximately
US$318) per smoker per full year of smoking plus interest at the
rate of 1% per month, as of the date of the ruling.  The court did
not award actual damages, which were to be assessed in the second
phase of the case.  The size of the class was not estimated.

Defendants appealed to the Sao Paulo Court of Appeals, which
annulled the ruling in November 2008, finding that the trial court
had inappropriately ruled without hearing evidence and returned
the case to the trial court for further proceedings.

In May 2011, the trial court dismissed the claim.  In February
2015, the appellate court unanimously dismissed plaintiff's
appeal.

In September 2015, plaintiff appealed to the Superior Court of
Justice.

In February 2017, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Justice denied plaintiff's appeal.

In March 2017, plaintiff filed an en banc appeal to the Supreme
Court of Justice.  In addition, the defendants previously filed a
constitutional appeal to the Federal Supreme Tribunal on the basis
that plaintiff did not have standing to bring the lawsuit.

Both appeals are still pending.

PHILIP MORRIS: Public Prosecutor's Class Action vs. Unit Ongoing
----------------------------------------------------------------
An appeal of the Public Prosecutor of Sao Paulo regarding a
dismissed class action against a subsidiary of Philip Morris
International Inc. remains pending in the Superior Court of
Justice, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 27,
2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

In the class action pending in Brazil, Public Prosecutor of Sao
Paulo v. Philip Morris Brasil Industria e Comercio Ltda., Civil
Court of the City of Sao Paulo, Brazil, filed August 6, 2007, the
Company's subsidiary is a defendant.

The plaintiff, the Public Prosecutor of the State of Sao Paulo, is
seeking (i) damages on behalf of all smokers nationwide, former
smokers, and their relatives; (ii) damages on behalf of people
exposed to environmental tobacco smoke nationwide, and their
relatives; and (iii) reimbursement of the health care costs
allegedly incurred for the treatment of tobacco-related diseases
by all Brazilian States and Municipalities, and the Federal
District.

In an interim ruling issued in December 2007, the trial court
limited the scope of this claim to the State of Sao Paulo only.

In December 2008, the Seventh Civil Court of Sao Paulo issued a
decision declaring that it lacked jurisdiction because the case
involved issues similar to the ADESF case and should be
transferred to the Nineteenth Lower Civil Court in Sao Paulo where
the ADESF case is pending.  The court further stated that these
cases should be consolidated for the purposes of judgment.

In April 2010, the Sao Paulo Court of Appeals reversed the Seventh
Civil Court's decision that consolidated the cases, finding that
they are based on different legal claims and are progressing at
different stages of proceedings.  This case was returned to the
Seventh Civil Court of Sao Paulo, and the Company's subsidiary
filed its closing arguments in December 2010.

In March 2012, the trial court dismissed the case on the merits.

In January 2014, the Sao Paulo Court of Appeals rejected
plaintiff's appeal and affirmed the trial court decision.

In July 2014, plaintiff appealed to the Superior Court of Justice.

PHILIP MORRIS: "Letourneau" Class Action vs. Unit Still Ongoing
---------------------------------------------------------------
A subsidiary of Philip Morris International Inc. continues to
defend itself in a class action filed in Canada by Cecilia
Letourneau, according to the Company's Form 10-Q filed on July 27,
2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2017.

In the class action pending in Canada, Cecilia Letourneau v.
Imperial Tobacco Ltd., Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. and JTI
Macdonald Corp., Quebec Superior Court, Canada, filed in September
1998, the Company's subsidiary and other Canadian manufacturers
(Imperial Tobacco Canada Ltd. and JTI-MacDonald Corp.) are
defendants.  The plaintiff, an individual smoker, sought
compensatory and punitive damages for each member of the class who
is deemed addicted to smoking.  The class was certified in 2005.

Trial began in March 2012 and concluded in December 2014.  The
trial court issued its judgment on May 27, 2015.  The trial court
found the Company's subsidiary and two other Canadian
manufacturers liable and awarded a total of CAD131 million
(approximately US$105 million) in punitive damages, allocating
CAD46 million (approximately US$37 million) to the Company's
subsidiary.

The trial court found that defendants violated the Civil Code of
Quebec, the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, and the
Quebec Consumer Protection Act by failing to warn adequately of
the dangers of smoking.  The trial court also found that
defendants conspired to prevent consumers from learning the
dangers of smoking.

The trial court further held that these civil faults were a cause
of the class members' addiction.  The trial court rejected other
grounds of fault advanced by the class, holding that: (i) the
evidence was insufficient to show that defendants marketed to
youth, (ii) defendants' advertising did not convey false
information about the characteristics of cigarettes, and (iii)
defendants did not commit a fault by using the descriptors light
or mild for cigarettes with a lower tar delivery.  The trial court
estimated the size of the addiction class at 918,000 members but
declined to award compensatory damages to the addiction class
because the evidence did not establish the claims with sufficient
accuracy.

The trial court ordered defendants to pay the full punitive damage
award into a trust within 60 days and found that a claims process
to allocate the awarded damages to individual class members would
be too expensive and difficult to administer.  The trial court
ordered a briefing on the proposed process for the distribution of
sums remaining from the punitive damage award after payment of
attorneys' fees and legal costs.

In June 2015, the Company's subsidiary commenced the appellate
process by filing its inscription of appeal of the trial court's
judgment with the Court of Appeal of Quebec. The Company's
subsidiary also filed a motion to cancel the trial court's order
for payment into a trust within 60 days notwithstanding appeal.

In July 2015, the Court of Appeal granted the motion to cancel and
overturned the trial court's ruling that the Company's subsidiary
make the payment into a trust within 60 days.

In August 2015, plaintiffs filed a motion with the Court of Appeal
seeking security in both the Letourneau case and the case
captioned Conseil Quebecois Sur Le Tabac Et La Sante and Jean-Yves
Blais v. Imperial Tobacco Ltd., Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. and
JTI Macdonald Corp., Quebec Superior Court, Canada.

In October 2015, the Court of Appeal granted the motion and
ordered the Company's subsidiary to furnish security totaling
CAD226 million (approximately US$180 million), in the form of cash
into a court trust or letters of credit, in six equal consecutive
quarterly installments of approximately CAD37.6 million
(approximately US$30 million) beginning in December 2015 through
March 2017.

The Court of Appeal heard oral arguments on the merits appeal in
November 2016.

The Company said, "Our subsidiary and PMI believe that the
findings of liability and damages were incorrect and should
ultimately be set aside on any one of many grounds, including the
following: (i) holding that defendants violated Quebec law by
failing to warn class members of the risks of smoking even after
the court found that class members knew, or should have known, of
the risks, (ii) finding that plaintiffs were not required to prove
that defendants' alleged misconduct caused injury to each class
member in direct contravention of binding precedent, (iii)
creating a factual presumption, without any evidence from class
members or otherwise, that defendants' alleged misconduct caused
all smoking by all class members, (iv) holding that the addiction
class members' claims for punitive damages were not time-barred
even though the case was filed more than three years after a
prominent addiction warning appeared on all packages, and (v)
awarding punitive damages to punish defendants without proper
consideration as to whether punitive damages were necessary to
deter future misconduct."

PHILIP MORRIS: Conseil Quebecois Class Suit v Subsidiary Pending
----------------------------------------------------------------
Philip Morris International Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed
on July 27, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that its subsidiary
still defends itself against a class action related to a suit
captioned Conseil Quebecois Sur Le Tabac Et La Sante and Jean-Yves
Blais v. Imperial Tobacco Ltd., Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. and
JTI Macdonald Corp., Quebec Superior Court, Canada.

In the class action pending in Canada, the Company's subsidiary
and other Canadian manufacturers (Imperial Tobacco Canada Ltd. and
JTI-MacDonald Corp.) are defendants.  The plaintiffs, an anti-
smoking organization and an individual smoker, sought compensatory
and punitive damages for each member of the class who allegedly
suffers from certain smoking-related diseases.  The class was
certified in 2005.

Trial began in March 2012 and concluded in December 2014.  The
trial court issued its judgment on May 27, 2015.  The trial court
found the Company's subsidiary and two other Canadian
manufacturers liable and found that the class members'
compensatory damages totaled approximately CAD15.5 billion,
including pre-judgment interest (approximately US$12.4 billion).

The trial court awarded compensatory damages on a joint and
several liability basis, allocating 20% to the Company's
subsidiary (approximately CAD3.1 billion, including pre-judgment
interest (approximately US$2.5 billion)).  In addition, the trial
court awarded CAD90,000 (approximately US$71,900) in punitive
damages, allocating CAD30,000 (approximately US$24,000) to the
Company's subsidiary and found that defendants violated the Civil
Code of Quebec, the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms,
and the Quebec Consumer Protection Act by failing to warn
adequately of the dangers of smoking.

The trial court also found that defendants conspired to prevent
consumers from learning the dangers of smoking.  The trial court
further held that these civil faults were a cause of the class
members' diseases.  The trial court rejected other grounds of
fault advanced by the class, holding that: (i) the evidence was
insufficient to show that defendants marketed to youth, (ii)
defendants' advertising did not convey false information about the
characteristics of cigarettes, and (iii) defendants did not commit
a fault by using the descriptors light or mild for cigarettes with
a lower tar delivery.

The trial court estimated the disease class at 99,957 members.
The trial court ordered defendants to pay CAD1 billion
(approximately US$798 million) of the compensatory damage award
into a trust within 60 days, CAD200 million (approximately US$160
million) of which is the Company's subsidiary's portion and
ordered briefing on a proposed claims process for the distribution
of damages to individual class members and for payment of
attorneys' fees and legal costs.

In June 2015, the Company's subsidiary commenced the appellate
process by filing its inscription of appeal of the trial court's
judgment with the Court of Appeal of Quebec.  The Company's
subsidiary also filed a motion to cancel the trial court's order
for payment into a trust within 60 days notwithstanding appeal.

In July 2015, the Court of Appeal granted the motion to cancel and
overturned the trial court's ruling that the Company's subsidiary
make an initial payment within 60 days.

In August 2015, plaintiffs filed a motion with the Court of Appeal
seeking an order that defendants place irrevocable letters of
credit totaling CAD5 billion (approximately US$4.0 billion) into
trust, to secure the judgments in both the Letourneau and Blais
cases.

Plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their motion for security against
JTI-MacDonald Corp. and proceeded only against the Company's
subsidiary and Imperial Tobacco Canada Ltd.

In October 2015, the Court of Appeal granted the motion and
ordered the Company's subsidiary to furnish security totaling
CAD226 million (approximately US$180 million) to cover both the
Letourneau and Blais cases.  Such security may take the form of
cash into a court trust or letters of credit, in six equal
consecutive quarterly installments of approximately CAD37.6
million (approximately US$30 million) beginning in December 2015
through March 2017.  The Court of Appeal ordered Imperial Tobacco
Canada Ltd. to furnish security totaling CAD758 million
(approximately US$605 million) in seven equal consecutive
quarterly installments of approximately CAD108 million
(approximately US$86 million) beginning in December 2015 through
June 2017.

In March 2017, the Company's subsidiary made its sixth and final
quarterly installment of security for approximately CAD37.6
million (approximately US$30 million) into a court trust.  This
payment is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets and in cash used in operating activities in the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Court of Appeal ordered that the security is payable upon a
final judgment of the Court of Appeal affirming the trial court's
judgment or upon further order of the Court of Appeal.  The Court
of Appeal heard oral arguments on the merits appeal in November
2016.

The Philip Morris stated, "The Company's subsidiary and PMI
believe that the findings of liability and damages were incorrect
and should ultimately be set aside on any one of many grounds,
including the following: (i) holding that defendants violated
Quebec law by failing to warn class members of the risks of
smoking even after the court found that class members knew, or
should have known, of the risks, (ii) finding that plaintiffs were
not required to prove that defendants' alleged misconduct caused
injury to each class member in direct contravention of binding
precedent, (iii) creating a factual presumption, without any
evidence from class members or otherwise, that defendants' alleged
misconduct caused all smoking by all class members, (iv) relying
on epidemiological evidence that did not meet recognized
scientific standards, and (v) awarding punitive damages to punish
defendants without proper consideration as to whether punitive
damages were necessary to deter future misconduct."

August 10, 2017), seeks redress for all losses to the Savings
Plans resulting from the Defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties,
including losses to the Savings Plans resulting from imprudent
investment of the assets, restoration of all profits made through
the use of the Savings Plans' assets, actual damages, attorneys'
fees and costs, equitable restitution and other appropriate
equitable relief resulting from unjust enrichment and for
violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Meriwether is a current Sears employee and a participant in the
Sears Holdings Savings Plan where Defendant is the named
fiduciary.

According to the complaint, Defendants permitted the Savings Plans
to continue to offer the Sears Stock Fund as an investment option
to Participants even after they knew that Sears Stock Fund was a
poorly performing investment option, that there was no adequate
process in place to monitor the continued prudence of including
the Sears Stock Fund in the Savings Plans' investment lineup, that
the fiduciaries were not properly investigating the prudence of
continuing to hold and invest the Savings Plans' assets in the
Sears Stock Fund, and despite that fact that Sears was dependent
on an unsustainable business model that was no longer sought by
the consumer and that Sears was unable to effectively compete with
its peers. [BN]

SIX FLAGS: Illinois Appellate Court to Review Privacy Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation disclosed in its Form 10-Q
filed on July 26, 2017, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that two
questions regarding the interpretation of the Illinois Biometric
Information Privacy Act have been certified for consideration by
the Appellate Court.

On January 7, 2016, a potential class action complaint was filed
against Six Flags Entertainment Corporation in the Circuit Court
of Lake County, Illinois.  On April 22, 2016, Great America, LLC
was added as a defendant.

The complaint asserts that the Company violated the Illinois
Biometric Information Privacy Act in connection with the admission
of season pass holders and members through the finger scan program
at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, and seeks
statutory damages, attorneys' fees and an injunction.  The program
commenced at the park in the 2014 operating season.  The complaint
does not allege that any information was misused or disseminated.

On June 17, 2016, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss
and allowed the case to proceed.

On January 6, 2017, the court denied the Company's motion to
certify questions for interlocutory appeal, but on April 7, 2017,
the court granted the Company's motion for reconsideration of the
motion for interlocutory appeal and certified two questions for
consideration by the Illinois Appellate Court of the Second
District.

On June 7, 2017, the Illinois Appellate Court granted the
Company's motion to appeal.  Accordingly, two questions regarding
the interpretation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy
Act have been certified for consideration by the Appellate Court.

The Company said, "We intend to continue to vigorously defend
ourselves against this litigation.  Since this litigation is still
in an early stage, the outcome is currently not determinable and a
reasonable estimate of loss or range of loss in excess of the
immaterial amount that we have recorded for this litigation cannot
be made."

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation owns and operates regional
theme and water parks under the Six Flags brand name.  The
Company's parks offer various thrill rides, water attractions,
themed areas, concerts and shows, restaurants, game venues, and
retail outlets, as well as family-oriented entertainment.  It owns
and operates 18 parks, including 16 parks in the United States; 1
park in Mexico City, Mexico; and 1 park in Montreal, Canada.  The
Company was formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and changed its name
to Six Flags Entertainment Corporation in April 2010.  Six Flags
Entertainment Corporation was founded in 1971 and is based in
Grand Prairie, Texas.

SUPERVALU INC: In Settlement Talks over Coupon Conspiracy Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Supervalu Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on July 25, 2017,
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period (16 weeks) ended June 17, 2017, that it is negotiating the
settlement of a class action complaint regarding alleged
conspiracy of restricting the markets for coupon processing
services.

In September 2008, a class action complaint was filed against
Supervalu, as well as International Outsourcing Services, LLC
("IOS"); Inmar, Inc.; Carolina Manufacturer's Services, Inc.;
Carolina Coupon Clearing, Inc. and Carolina Services in the United
States District Court in the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

The plaintiffs in the case are a consumer goods manufacturer, a
grocery co-operative and a retailer marketing services company
that allege on behalf of a purported class that Supervalu and the
other defendants (i) conspired to restrict the markets for coupon
processing services under the Sherman Act and (ii) were part of an
illegal enterprise to defraud the plaintiffs under the Federal
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.  The
plaintiffs seek monetary damages, attorneys' fees and injunctive
relief.

All proceedings had been stayed in the case pending the result of
the criminal prosecution of certain former officers of IOS.  The
final criminal trial concluded in December 2016.

The District Court has indicated that it will release the stay of
the civil case and issue a scheduling order.  At a mediation on
May 22, 2017, Supervalu reached a preliminary settlement for a
nominal amount, subject to certain non-monetary terms that
Supervalu is in the process of negotiating.

Supervalu Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a
grocery wholesaler and retailer in the United States.  The Company
operates through two segments, Wholesale and Retail.  It was
founded in 1871 and is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.


SUPERVALU INC: Inks Settlement of 2003 C&S Transaction Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------
Supervalu Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on July 25, 2017,
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period (16 weeks) ended June 17, 2017, that a final settlement
agreement has been executed, subject to preliminary and final
court approval, in a consolidated class action lawsuit related to
a 2003 transaction with C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc.

In December 2008, a class action complaint was filed in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin
against Supervalu alleging that a 2003 transaction between
Supervalu and C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. ("C&S") was a conspiracy
to restrain trade and allocate markets.  In the 2003 transaction,
Supervalu purchased certain assets of the Fleming Corporation as
part of Fleming Corporation's bankruptcy proceedings and sold
certain assets of Supervalu to C&S that were located in New
England.

Three other retailers filed similar complaints in other
jurisdictions and the cases were consolidated and are proceeding
in the United States District Court in Minnesota.  The complaints
allege that the conspiracy was concealed and continued through the
use of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and the closing
down of the distribution facilities that Supervalu and C&S
purchased from each other.  Plaintiffs are seeking monetary
damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees.

On July 5, 2011, the District Court granted Supervalu's Motion to
Compel Arbitration for those plaintiffs with arbitration
agreements and plaintiffs appealed.

On July 16, 2012, the District Court denied plaintiffs' Motion for
Class Certification and on January 11, 2013, the District Court
granted Supervalu's Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the
case regarding the non-arbitration plaintiffs.  On February 12,
2013, the 8th Circuit reversed the District Court decision
requiring plaintiffs with arbitration agreements to arbitrate and
remanded to the District Court.

On October 30, 2013, the parties attended a District Court ordered
mandatory mediation, which was not successful in resolving the
matter.

On May 21, 2014, the 8th Circuit (1) reversed the District Court's
decision granting summary judgment in favor of Supervalu, and (2)
affirmed the District Court's decision denying class certification
of a class consisting of all retailers located in the States of
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin
that purchased wholesale grocery products from Supervalu between
December 31, 2004 and September 13, 2008, but remanded the case
for the District Court to consider whether to certify a narrower
class of purchasers supplied from Supervalu's Champaign, Illinois
distribution center and potentially other distribution centers.

On June 19, 2015, the District Court Magistrate Judge entered an
order that decided a number of matters including granting
plaintiffs' request to seek class certification for certain
Midwest Distribution Centers and denying plaintiffs' request to
add an additional New England plaintiff and denying plaintiffs'
request to seek class certification for a group of New England
retailers.

On August 20, 2015, the District Court affirmed the Magistrate
Judge's order.

In September 2015, the plaintiffs appealed to the 8th Circuit the
denial of the request to add an additional New England plaintiff
and to seek class certification for a group of New England
retailers and the hearing before the 8th Circuit occurred on
May 17, 2016.

On March 1, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a class certification
motion seeking to certify five District Court classes of retailers
in the Midwest and Supervalu filed its response on May 6, 2016.

On September 7, 2016, the District Court granted plaintiffs'
motion to certify five Midwest distribution center classes, only
one of which is suing Supervalu (the non-arbitration Champaign
distribution center class).

On March 1, 2017, the 8th Circuit denied plaintiffs' appeals
seeking to join an additional New England plaintiff and the appeal
seeking the ability to move for class certification of a smaller
New England class.

At a mediation on May 25, 2017, Supervalu reached a settlement
with the non-arbitration Champaign distribution center class,
which is the one Midwest class suing Supervalu.  Supervalu and the
plaintiffs have executed a final settlement agreement and the
settlement is subject to preliminary and final court approval.
The material terms of the settlement include: (1) denial of
wrongdoing and liability by Supervalu; (2) release of all claims
against Supervalu related to the allegations and transactions at
issue in the litigation that were raised or could have been raised
by the non-arbitration Champaign distribution center class; and
(3) payment by Supervalu of US$9.  There is no contribution
between C&S and Supervalu, and C&S did not settle the claims
alleged against them.  The New England Village Markets plaintiff
is not a party to the settlement and is pursuing its individual
claims against Supervalu, which at this time are determined as
remote.

SuperValu Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a
grocery wholesaler and retailer in the United States.  The Company
operates through two segments, Wholesale and Retail.  It was
founded in 1871 and is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

U.S. STEEL: Still Defends Securities Suits in Pennsylvania
----------------------------------------------------------
United States Steel Corporation is facing class action lawsuits in
Pennsylvania for alleged violations of federal securities laws,
according to the Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2017.

In May of 2017, two class action lawsuits were filed in federal
court in the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging that U.S.
Steel, Mario Longhi and David Burritt violated federal securities
laws in making false statements and/or failing to disclose
material information regarding the financial condition of the
Company.  The suits claim that this conduct caused a prospective
class of plaintiffs to sustain damages during the period of
November 1, 2016 through April 25, 2017 as a result of the
prospective class purchasing the Company's common stock at
artificially inflated prices and/or suffering losses when the
price of the common stock dropped.  The Company is vigorously
defending the matters.

United States Steel Corporation produces and sells flat-rolled and
tubular steel products primarily in North America and Europe. It
operates through three segments: Flat-Rolled Products (Flat-
Rolled), U.S. Steel Europe (USSE), and Tubular Products (Tubular).
The Company was founded in 1901 and is headquartered in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.


UBER TECH: $32 Million Deal in "McKnight" Case Has Initial OK
-------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Kahn, writing for Courthouse News Service, reported that a
federal judge in San Francisco preliminarily approved on August 8
a $32 million class-action settlement against Uber for charging
customers a "safe rides fee" for its "woefully inadequate"
background checks of drivers.

Plaintiffs and Defendants Uber Technologies, Inc. and Rasier, LLC
have reached agreement on the concurrently-filed Amended
Stipulation of Settlement.  If approved, the Amended Settlement
will resolve claims arising out of Defendants' alleged
representations and omissions regarding the safety of Uber, the
"Safe Rides Fee," and driver background checks.  Defendants would
establish a $32.5 million, non-reversionary Settlement Fund, and
would agree to refrain from using the term "Safe Rides Fee" and
certain other terms regarding safety and background checks in
their Commercial Advertising.

The parties previously reached a settlement on February 11, 2016.
The Court denied preliminary approval without prejudice,
identifying several issues that the Court found questionable.
After several months of additional, extensive, mediated
negotiations to address these issues -- which included three
separate mediation sessions and a settlement conference before the
Hon. Chief Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero -- the parties reached
the Amended Settlement.

The first issue the Court raised in its Denial Order was that the
original settlement covered riders who had not paid a Safe Rides
Fee.  The Amended Settlement encompasses a class consisting only
of riders who paid a Safe Rides Fee, which reduces the class size
by over 2 million members.

The second issue was that the settlement did not take into account
the number of rides per rider.  In the Amended Settlement, damages
are measured, in part, by the
number of Safe Rides Fee rides a rider took, with each rider
receiving approximately 25 cents for his or her first ride, and 5
cents for each ride thereafter.  This allocation method was vetted
with Chief Magistrate Judge Spero and reflects, among other
things: (i) an attempt to make recovery for each and every class
member feasible in light of administrative costs; and (ii) the
relative strength of claims based on the first ride versus claims
based on subsequent rides, after disclosure of the Safe Rides Fee.

The final issue the Court raised was that Plaintiffs had not shown
that the $28.5 million original settlement amount fell within the
range of possible approval.  In the Amended Settlement, the fund
has increased to $32.5 million, even though the class size has
decreased by almost 10%.  Futhermore, the parties have negotiated
to reduce the maximum cap on the costs of notice and
administration, from $800,000 to $487,000, increasing the funds
available for distribution to the Class.

UNITED BEHAVIORAL: Suit over Mental Health Coverage Goes to Trial
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nicholas Iovino, writing for Courthouse News Service, reported
that a class of patients who were denied coverage for mental
health and substance abuse treatment may take their claims against
a benefits administrator to trial, a federal judge in San
Francisco ruled on August 14.

In a 32-page ruling, U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero denied
United Behavioral Health's motion for summary judgment against a
class of insurance customers, but he also ruled patients may not
recover profits the administrator allegedly gained by denying them
coverage.

Two groups of patients sued United Behavioral Health, which does
business as OptumHealth Behavioral Solutions, in separate class
actions filed in May and December 2014. The patients claim the
company developed coverage guidelines inconsistent with generally
accepted standards, which allowed it to wrongly deny coverage for
mental health and substance abuse treatment.

According to the plaintiffs, the guidelines required patients to
suffer an "acute crisis" in order to obtain coverage. The
guidelines also failed to consider patients' coexisting medical
conditions, required them to "continually progress toward
recovery," excluded coverage for services to prevent deterioration
or maintain a level of functioning, and failed to adopt criteria
"tailored to the unique needs of children and adolescents,"
according to the class.

In September 2016, Spero certified three classes that were denied
different types of coverage under the federal Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and state laws in Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode
Island and Texas during varying timeframes between May 2011 and
June 2017.

United Behavioral Health filed a motion for summary judgment in
May, arguing the plaintiffs lack standing because they suffered no
concrete injury as a result of the alleged wrongful conduct.

But Spero found prior case law has established that plaintiffs can
sue to secure their rights under ERISA, and they "need not
demonstrate an actual loss to have standing to seek injunctive
relief."

The judge cited the 2003 Ninth Circuit ruling, Shaver v. Operating
Engineers Local 428 Pension Trust Fund, which held plaintiffs
could sue trustees of a benefits plan for failing to keep adequate
records, even if they suffered no tangible harm.

Requiring that plaintiffs suffer a concrete injury in such
situations "would be to say that the fiduciaries are free to
ignore their duties so long as they do no tangible harm, and that
the beneficiaries are powerless to rein in the fiduciaries'
imprudent behavior until some actual damage has been done," the
Ninth Circuit panel wrote in Shaver.

"Under Shaver, plaintiffs may bring an action to enforce UBH's
fiduciary obligations without establishing that the alleged
violation has caused an actual loss, such as a denial of
benefits," Spero wrote.

The judge also denied the company's motion for summary judgment on
claims under Texas state law, finding the administrator failed to
conclusively prove that it applied a different set of guidelines
to those claims. Such a material dispute of fact must be resolved
at trial, he ruled.

However, Spero found the plaintiffs could not seek disgorgement
based on profits United Behavioral Health made in surcharges for
processing denied claims.

"Plaintiffs did not point to any evidence that would allow the
court to reasonably determine the amount of UBH's profits that is
attributable to the alleged wrongdoing, namely, applying flawed
guidelines to plaintiffs' claims," Spero wrote, dismissing the
request to recover surcharges with prejudice.

The judge left intact the plaintiffs' ability to seek an
injunction ordering United Behavioral Health to stop using the
disputed guidelines, develop new guidelines consistent with
generally accepted standards, and make the company reprocess all
claims for coverage that were denied, in whole or in part, based
on the challenged guidelines.

A bench trial in the case is scheduled to start on Oct. 16.

Class attorney Meiram Bendat and United Behavioral Health's
attorney Christopher Flynn did not immediately return phone calls
and emails seeking comment on August 15, afternoon.

Bendat is with Psych-Appeal Inc. in West Hollywood, California.
Flynn is with Crowell and Moring in Washington.

WEBMD HEALTH: Shareholders Sue over $2.8B Sale to KKR
-----------------------------------------------------
John Russell, writing for Courthouse News Service, reported that
shareholders filed a federal class action in Manhattan challenging
WebMD's proposed $2.8 billion sale to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

Lead plaintiff Jeffrey Rubin claims the company's board and
executive failed to disclose conflicts of interest for WebMD
insiders and its financial adviser, J.P. Morgan Securities.

Only WebMD Health Corp. and its top executives and board are
defendants -- not J.P. Morgan or Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

The complaint of securities violations claims WebMD insiders will
reap a substantial financial windfall as under the merger
agreement all unvested equity-based awards held by company
executives will be converted into the right to receive cash
payments.

Defendant WebMD CEO Steven Zatz, who recused himself from voting
on a recommendation letter to shareholders before the merger,
stands to garner more than $18 million from cashing out
outstanding company stock options, according to the 28-page
complaint filed August 9.

Other WebMD executives stand to a total of more than $30 million
through golden parachute payments, even if they are fired after
the acquisition, according to the complaint.

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts is to buy all outstanding common shares
for $66.50 apiece in cash.  WebMD and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
announced the merger in a joint statement on July 24, in which
they described the $66.50 per share tender offer as "a premium of
approximately 20 percent over WebMD's closing share price on July
21, 2017." They anticipate closing the deal in the fourth quarter
of 2017.

"Throughout this process, our Board has conducted diligent
analysis and thoughtful deliberations," CEO Zatz said in the
announcement. "WebMD and its financial advisers had a process that
involved outreach to more than 100 strategic and financial
parties, and we are confident that this transaction maximizes
value for our stockholders."

WebMD, which publishes health and medical information online,
reported revenue of $705 million in 2016. It did not respond to
requests for comment on August 10.

Rubin seeks class certification, an injunction against the merger,
and rescission and damages if it is completed. He is represented
by Richard Acocelli at WeissLaw in Manhattan.

The case is captioned, JEFFREY RUBIN, on Behalf of Himself and All
Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiff, vs. WEBMD HEALTH CORP.,

XBIOTECH INC: "Rezko" Securities Class Suit Removed to W.D. Texas
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The lawsuit captioned YOGINA REZKO, AARON LE, and ANDREW BANK,
Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v.
XBIOTECH INC., JOHN SIMARD, QUEENA HAN, FABRIZIO BONANNI, W.
THORPE MCKENZIE, DANIEL VASELLA, and WR HAMBRECHT + CO., LLC, Case
No. D-1-GN-17-003063, was removed on August 7, 2017, from the
200th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, to the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division.
The District Court Clerk assigned Case No. 1:17-cv-00734 to the
proceeding.

The Plaintiffs filed the lawsuit as a purported class action on
July 6, 2017, in State Court.  The case involves federal
securities claims over the same initial public offering prospectus
disclosures at issue in another putative class action entitled
Tran v. XBiotech Inc., No. 1:15-CV-1083-SS (W.D. Tex.), which
Judge Sam Sparks dismissed with prejudice on the parties'
stipulation on October 7, 2016, after initially granting
XBiotech's motion to dismiss without prejudice.

With the consent of all Defendants, XBiotech asks that the Rezko
Action be assigned to Judge Sparks as a related case to the Tran
Action, as both cases involve substantially the same issues of
fact and overlapping class definitions.  Both suits assert federal
securities law claims against XBiotech, John Simard, and Queena
Han based on the same alleged misstatements in XBiotech's initial
public offering disclosures.[BN]
