1189 WEBSTER: Rodriguez Seeks Overtime Compensation under FLSA
--------------------------------------------------------------
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. 1189 WEBSTER CAR WASH, CORP., MOE'S
MAGIC WASH LLC, ISMAEL POPOTER, JENNELYN POPOTER and MOHAMMED
NAZZAL, the Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-06238 (S.D.N.Y., July 10,
2018), seeks to recover full payment of all unpaid minimum wage and
overtime compensation and liquidated damages under the applicable
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

According to the complaint, the Defendants were aware of the
requirement to pay Plaintiff and all FLSA Plaintiffs at an amount
equal to one and one-half times their respective regular rates of
pay for all hours worked each workweek above 40, yet the Defendants
purposefully chose not to do so. Thus, Plaintiff and all FLSA
Plaintiffs are victims of Defendants' pervasive practice of
willfully refusing to pay their employees overtime compensation, in
violation of the FLSA.[BN]

ABBVIE INC: Keller Lenkner Files Securities Class Action Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Keller Lenkner LLC disclosed that a class action has been commenced
by an institutional investor on behalf of purchasers of AbbVie Inc.
("AbbVie" or the "Company") (NYSE:ABBV) securities on May 30, 2018
(the "Class Period").  The action was filed in the Northern
District of Illinois and is captioned Walleye Trading LLC v. AbbVie
Inc., et al., No. 1:18-cv-05114.

The complaint charges that AbbVie and one of its officers violated
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing false and misleading
statements, in both press releases and filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, regarding the results of the
Company's $7.5 billion modified Dutch auction tender offer that
expired on May 29, 2018 (the "Tender Offer"). Specifically, the
complaint alleges that before the opening of trading on May 30,
2018, the Company announced that it expected to acquire 71.4
million of its shares tendered at or below $105 per share. As a
result of that news, the price of AbbVie securities significantly
increased. However, after the close of trading on May 30, 2018, the
Company surprised the market by releasing materially different
results for the Tender Offer due to certain omissions, announcing
that the Company expected to acquire only those shares tendered at
or below $103 per share. The price of the Company's shares fell
sharply on the news, harming all investors that purchased AbbVie
securities at artificially inflated prices on May 30, 2018.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the Class, you must file
a motion with the Court no later than September 24, 2018, which is
the first business day on which the District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois is open that is 60 days after the publication
date of July 26, 2018.  Any member of the proposed class may move
the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their
choice.

The plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers
of AbbVie securities during the Class Period and is represented by
Keller Lenkner.  If you wish to discuss this action or have any
questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests,
please;

ABBVIE INC: Walleye Trading Sues Over Share Price Drop
------------------------------------------------------
Walleye Trading LLC, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Abbvie Inc. and William J. Chase,
Defendants, Case No. 18-cv-05114, (N.D. Ill., July 26, 2018), seeks
to recover damages caused by violations of the federal securities
laws and to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

AbbVie is a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company founded in
2013. It originated as a spin-off of Abbott Laboratories.

On April 26, 2018, AbbVie announced that it would repurchase up to
$7.5 billion of the Company's common stock from its stockholders
where the letter chooses the price within the range they would like
to sell at, if at all. AbbVie would acquire 71.4 million shares of
AbbVie stock at $105 per share, for an aggregate cost of $7.5
billion gross of fees and expenses, or approximately 4.5% of the
Company's shares outstanding. They, however, corrected the tender
offer statement, based on the acquisition of 72.8M shares of its
common stock at a reduced price of $103 per share, or approximately
4.6% of the shares outstanding. During the next trading day, May
31, 2018, AbbVie stock traded sharply downward between $98.50 and
$101 per share. By the end of the trading day on May 31, 2018, it
closed down almost 4% at $98.94. Purchasers of AbbVie stock on May
30, 2018, who purchased at artificially inflated prices,
collectively lost well over $100 million in under 24 hours as a
result of the Company's corrective disclosure, says the complaint.

ACADIA PHARMA: Kaskela Law Files Securities Class Action Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kaskela Law LLC disclosed that a shareholder class action lawsuit
has been filed against ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ACAD)
("ACADIA" or the "Company") on behalf of purchasers of the
Company's securities between April 29, 2016 and July 9, 2018,
inclusive (the "Class Period").

ACADIA is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development
and commercialization of innovative medicines to address unmet
medical needs in central nervous system disorders. One of
ACADIA’s products is NUPLAZID (pimavanserin), which was approved
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in April 2016 for
the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with
Parkinson’s disease.

The shareholder class action complaint alleges that ACADIA and
certain other defendants made a series of false and misleading
statements during the Class Period and failed to disclose material
adverse facts to investors about the Company's business, operations
and prospects. Among other things, the defendants failed to
disclose: (i) that adverse events and safety concerns related to
NUPLAZID threatened the drug's initial and continuing FDA approval;
and (ii) that ACADIA engaged in business practices likely to
attract regulatory scrutiny. The complaint further alleges that, as
a result of the foregoing, investors purchased ACADIA's securities
at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, and
suffered significant investment losses as a result of the
defendants' conduct.

IMPORTANT DEADLINE: Investors who purchased ACADIA’s securities
during the Class Period may, no later than September 17, 2018, seek
to be appointed as a lead plaintiff of the investor class. ACADIA
investors are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC for additional
information about this action and/or to discuss their legal rights
and options, or to register their information with the firm at

ACADIA PHARMA: Kessler Topaz Files Securities Fraud Class Action
----------------------------------------------------------------
The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP alerts investors
that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against
ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAD) ("ACADIA") on behalf of
purchasers of ACADIA securities between April 29, 2016 and July 9,
2018, inclusive (the "Class Period").

Investors who purchased ACADIA securities during the Class Period
may, no later than September 17, 2018, seek to be appointed as a
lead plaintiff representative of the class. For additional
information or to learn how to participate in this action please
visit www.ktmc.com/acadia-pharmaceuticals-securities-class-action

According to the complaint, ACADIA is purportedly a
biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and
commercialization of medicines to address central nervous system
disorders. The company claims its lead drug is NUPLAZID, which was
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") on April
29, 2016 for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions
associated with Parkinson's disease psychosis. ACADIA launched
NUPLAZID in the U.S. in May 2016.

The Class Period commences on April 29, 2016, when ACADIA issued a
press release announcing that the FDA approved NUPLAZID for the
treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with
Parkinson's disease psychosis. ACADIA further stated that "[t]he
FDA approval of NUPLAZID was based on data from the pivotal Phase
III Study-020 and other supportive studies, representing the
largest research and development program in Parkinson's disease
psychosis to date."

The complaint alleges that, on April 9, 2018, CNN reported that
"[p]hysicians, medical researchers and other experts told CNN that
they worried that [NUPLAZID] had been approved too quickly, based
on too little evidence that it was safe or effective. And given
these mounting reports of deaths, they say that more needs to be
done to assess Nuplazid's true risks." Following this news,
ACADIA's share price fell $5.03 per share, or 23.4%, to close at
$16.50 per share on April 9, 2018.

Then, on April 25, 2018, CNN reported that the FDA was re-examining
the safety of NUPLAZID. Following this news, ACADIA's share price
fell $4.27 per share, or 21.9%, to close at $15.20 per share on
April 25, 2018.

Finally, on July 9, 2018, the Southern Investigative Reporting
Foundation (the "SIRF") published a report entitled "Acadia
Pharmaceuticals: This Is Not a Pharmaceuticals Company." Therein,
the SIRF stated that "evidence is mounting that something is
horribly wrong with ACADIA's sole drug, NUPLAZID," and that "ACADIA
has accomplished its growth in ways that have attracted intense
regulatory scrutiny for other drug companies" including "dispensing
wads of cash to doctors to incentivize prescription writing and
downplaying mounting reports of patient deaths." Following this
news, ACADIA's share price fell $1.21 per share, or 6.8%, to close
at $16.63 per share on July 9, 2018.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the
defendants failed to disclose that:  (1) adverse events and safety
concerns related to NUPLAZID threatened the drug's initial and
continuing FDA approval; (2) ACADIA engaged in business practices
likely to attract regulatory scrutiny; and (3) as a result of the
foregoing, the defendants' statements about ACADIA's business,
operations, and prospects, were materially false and/or misleading
and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

ACADIA investors who wish to discuss this securities fraud class
action and their legal options are encouraged to contact Kessler
Topaz Meltzer & Check.

ACADIA investors may, no later than September 17, 2018, seek to be
appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through
Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, or other counsel of their choice, or
may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of
all class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be
appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the
class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class
members, and that the class member will adequately represent the
class.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by
the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

ADMIRAL THEATRE: Wisniewska Seeks Class Certification Under FLSA
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Plaintiff in the lawsuit titled PAULINA WISNIEWSKA,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly-situated v.
ADMIRAL THEATRE, INC. d/b/a THE ADMIRAL THEATRE and SAM A. CECOLA,
Case No. 1:18-cv-04749 (N.D. Ill.), asks the Court to:

   (1) conditionally certify this action as a collective action
       under 29 U.S.C. Section 216(b); and

   (2) order that notice be issued to all exotic dancers, who
       have worked for the Admiral during the last three years.

PAULINA WISNIEWSKA, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly-situated, the Plaintiffs, v. ADMIRAL THEATRE, INC. d/b/a
THE ADMIRAL THEATRE and SAM A. CECOLA, the Defendants, Case No.
1:18-cv-04749 (N.D. Ill., July 11, 2018), alleges that Admiral has
misclassified its exotic dancers as independent contractors rather
than as employees under federal and state law.  The Plaintiff
brings this action on behalf of herself and other exotic dancers
who have worked at Admiral Theatre, Inc., an adult entertainment
strip club located at 3940 West Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, Illinois,
which is owned and managed by Sam Cecola.

According to the complaint, dancers are paid only by receiving tips
from customers, which they are required to pay back in part to the
club, as well as to share with other individuals who are not
eligible to share in a tip pool. The Plaintiff brings this action
on her own behalf, and on behalf of other Admiral dancers who may
choose to opt-in to this case, for not paying minimum wage as
required by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and for taking a
portion of the dancers' tips and allowing and requiring dancers to
share their tips with individuals not eligible to share in a tip
pool.[BN]

ADVANCED DISPOSAL: Jeb Iverson Sues over Robocalls
--------------------------------------------------
JEB B. IVERSON, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL SIMILARLY
SITUATED INDIVIDUALS, the Plaintiff, v. ADVANCED DISPOSAL SERVICES,
INC., the Defendant, Case No. 3:18-cv-00867-BJD-JBT (M.D. Fla.,
July 11, 2018), seeks to recover damages and other relief at law
for the negligent, knowing and/or willful conduct of contacting
Plaintiff and others on their cellular telephones using
pre-recorded voice messages in violation of the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act.

According to the complaint, by effectuating these unauthorized
pre-recorded voice message calls, Advanced Disposal caused actual
harm, not only by subjecting consumers to the aggravation that
necessarily accompanies spam calls and messages but also because
consumers frequently must pay their cell phones service providers
for the receipt of such spam, and because such messages diminish
cellular battery life, waste data storage capacity, and are an
intrusion upon seclusion.

Advanced Disposal offers waste disposal, collection and recycling
services for residential, commercial, industrial and construction
customers.[BN]

APOTEX CORP: Nasal Spray Contains Glass Particles, Thompson Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
TERRA THOMPSON, an individual; on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. APOTEX CORP.; and DOES 1
through 10, inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. BC713388 (Cal.
Super. Ct., July 10, 2018), seeks to recover compensatory damages,
punitive damages, and restitutionary disgorgement caused by
Defendants' violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Breach of
Warranty, and Unfair Business Practices, arising out of Defendants'
manufacture, design, and distribution of nasal spray containing
glass particles, which have the propensity to injure users.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiff was prescribed
Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray manufactured by Defendant Apotex
Corp.  The lawsuit says Defendant's Nasal Spray can emit shards of
glass when used in the normal and intended course by consumers.
Because of this serious safety problem, Defendant recalled its
nasal spray, but, not as to all effected lots or batches.

Terra Thompson used Defendant's Nasal Spray, and suffered an injury
from shards of glass entering her nasal canal from Defendant's
Nasal Spray, because of the defect and/or alleged problem.

Apotex Inc. is a Canadian pharmaceutical corporation. Founded in
1974 by Barry Sherman, the company is the largest producer of
generic drugs in Canada.[BN]

--------------------------------------------------------
The parties in the case, Tsemach Mishal et al. v. Boardwalk
Pipeline Partners, LP, are awaiting court approval of a
settlement.

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP said in its Form 8-K filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that on June 25, 2018,
the parties to the purported class action pending in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Tsemach Mishal et al.
v. Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (the "Partnership") et al. (Del.
Ch., C.A. No. 2018-0372-JTL) entered into a Stipulation and
Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, subject to the approval of
the court.

The Proposed Settlement provides for the settlement of the lawsuit
if Boardwalk Pipelines Holding Corp. ("BPHC"), the sole member of
the general partner of Boardwalk GP, LP, the general partner of the
Partnership ("Boardwalk GP"), elects to cause Boardwalk GP to
exercise its call right pursuant to Section 15.1(b) of the
Partnership's agreement of limited partnership as provided in the
Proposed Settlement.

Under the terms of the Proposed Settlement, if BPHC elects to cause
Boardwalk GP to exercise the call right such that the purchase
price for the common units of the Partnership to be purchased by
Boardwalk GP pursuant to the call right is calculated using the 180
trading days ending no later than June 29, 2018, all claims that
have been or could be brought in connection with such purchase
right will be released by the plaintiffs individually and on behalf
of the purported class and finally resolved, subject to court
approval, in accordance with the terms of the Proposed Settlement.

This call right has been previously described in detail in the
Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2018.

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP, through its subsidiaries, owns and
operates integrated natural gas and natural gas liquids and other
hydrocarbons (NGLs) pipeline and storage systems in the United

BRIUS LLC: Violates Skilled Nursing Industry Laws, Barrett Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
BETTY BARRETT by and through her Successor in Interest Wanda

SERVICES, LLC; and DOES 1 through 250, inclusive, Defendants, Case
No. BC713393 (Cal. Super. Ct., July 10, 2018), alleges that the
Defendants actively and intentionally concealed from Plaintiff and
class members that Defendants have a long history of being serial
violators of skilled nursing industry laws.

According to the complaint, the concealments by Defendants were
intended to deceive Plaintiff and members of the class into
believing that the Facility were properly operated to induce
Plaintiff and class members into becoming residents of the
Facility. That Plaintiff and members of the class, all in infirm
health, elderly, and/or in need of skilled nursing care and members
of one of the most vulnerable segments of society, were
unsophisticated and unknowledgeable in the operation of skilled
nursing Facility in the State of California and had no knowledge of
the facts concealed by Defendants and could not have discovered
those concealed facts due to, among other things, their extremely
vulnerable status. Had the concealed facts been disclosed to
Plaintiff and members of the class, they would not have become
residents of the Facility and would not have paid, or had monies
paid on their behalf, for the substandard skilled nursing care at
the Facility.[BN]

BROOKSTONE CAPITAL: Horvath et al. Sue over Investment Program
--------------------------------------------------------------
ROBERT HORVATH, LORI PARK-GIANFRANCISCO, THERESA L. PORTELL, FRANK
G. PANTALEO, PATRICIA PANTALEO, RICHARD RUTKOWSKI, PHYLLIS
RUTKOWSKI, SHARON GIAMMANCO, SALVATORE GIAMMANCO, and on behalf of
the class members, the Plaintiffs, v. NADIM KHALIL ZA YED a/k/a
DEAN ZAYED, BROOKSTONE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, and KAIZEN ADVISORY,
LLC, the Defendant, Case No. 2018L000784 (Ill. Cir. Ct., 18th
Judicial, Dupage Cty., July 10, 2018), alleges breach of fiduciary
duty resulting from Defendants' mismanagement that led Plaintiffs
and the Class to lose their investments totaling millions of
dollars and incurring excessive fees along the way.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiffs had personal and
retirement assets in Investment Accounts with BCM between August 3,
2015 and August 26, 2015. The Plaintiffs are generally "mom and pop
investors" all residing in DuPage County with limited personal
wealth or investment experience. At all relevant times, BCM and
Zayed provided individualized, personalized, fiduciary investment
management services to their clients, including Plaintiffs and the
Class. In exchange for services rendered, BCM and Zayed received
compensation via BCM's "Wrap Program."  BCM's Wrap Program
"wrapped" both the asset management fees for advisory services and
the transactional fees for execution services into a single fee
charged to BCM's clients, including Plaintiffs (the "BCM Wrap
Program Fee").

Zayed had sole discretion to manage Plaintiffs' portfolios in the
BCM Investment Accounts, which included all trading decisions
related to Plaintiffs' holdings. In selecting investments for BCM
Investor Accounts, including Plaintiffs' accounts, BCM's policy was
to select investment vehicles based on the length and verifiability
of the track records of the investment vehicle, the tenure and/or
overall career performance of the managers of the investment
vehicle, the continuity of the investment vehicle's management, the
investment philosophy and process of the investment vehicle, the
expenses of the investment vehicle, and other factors believed to
affect performance of the investment vehicle.  As a direct and
proximate result of Zayed's breaches of fiduciary duty, the
Plaintiffs and the Class have been damaged in an amount to be
proven at trial.[BN]

CANADA: Faces Class Action Over Orkambi Drug
--------------------------------------------
Cherise Seucharan, writing for The Sar Vancouver, reports that a
recently launched class action suit to compel the government to
provide coverage to a $250,000 per year drug has raised questions
about how Canada should fund medications for rare diseases.

Chris MacLeod, Esq. -- cmacleod@cambridgellp.com -- a Toronto
lawyer who has cystic fibrosis, has launched a class action suit to
be filed in the B.C. Supreme Court seeking $60 million in damages
on behalf of patients who were refused coverage of the drug
Orkambi. While the costly medication is available for sale and is
covered by some health plans, it was not approved for coverage by
the provincial or federal governments due to insufficient evidence
that is effective or cost-efficient.

But MacLeod and those involved in the class action said that
Orkambi can be life-changing for the patients that it does work for
-- and that they have the right to the drug under Section 7 of the
Charter, which guarantees that "everyone has the right to life,
liberty and security of the person."

MacLeod is taking a sister drug called Kalydeco developed by the
same manufacturer as Orkambi, which he said improved his health
immensely.

"I went from 30 per cent lung function to not being in hospital
since 2012," he said "If I didn't do this lawsuit people would
rightly say to me, you're doing so well and you know the benefits
of this treatment -- it would be immoral if I didn't step up."

One of the patients involved in the class action, Lilia Zaharieva
from Victoria, had coverage of the drug under her employer's plan.

"I have had the taste of what life on Orkambi is like. I can't sit
by as others in B.C. wait on the sidelines to gain access," she
said in a statement.

MacLeod, says the class action is also meant to bring attention to
the way in which drugs are funded and approved. He takes issue with
the government entities in charge of reviewing and deciding which
drugs will be covered and which won't: the Canadian Agency for
Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH), the pan-Canadian
Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA), and the provincial and federal
governments.

First Health Canada approves a drug for sale in Canada, said Laura
Heinze, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health. Then the
manufacturer submits an application to CADTH, which reviews it and
gives a recommendation to the government if they should fund it,
and the pCPA negotiates the drug price. In B.C., the provincial
Drug Benefit Council (DBC) decides whether to include the drug as
part of Pharmacare, after examining all evidence, including the
cost.

MacLeod said this system unfairly prevents patients with rare
diseases from having access to drugs they may not be able to
afford, due to the overall expense.

He said that CADTH fails to provide transparency over their
decisions, especially with the experts they consulted when
reviewing Orkambi.

"They have created a gatekeeper system with no transparency. Who
are these experts who reviewed Orkambi?" he said.

"We need a credible transparent review process where we know what
experts were relied on. Systemically, we're not great at rare
disease strategy ... so we are after fixing the system."

But Steve Morgan a professor at the UBC School of Population and
Public Health, said that it is a much more complex issue because a
very expensive drug could mean less benefits to other patients in
the overall system.

"As much as people criticize economic evaluation, the reality is we
really do need that to understand when meeting needs is
appropriate, affordable, sustainable and consistent to equitable
access," he said. "We have to think about the greater benefit to
other patient groups."

While Heinze said that Ministry would not comment on the details of
the Orkambi she said in a statement that the manufacturing costs
are a key factor in the decision.

"Orkambi is a very expensive drug -- with Vertex setting a list
cost of about $250,000 per person per year . . . The cost for
funding Orkambi for approximately 120 patients in B.C., despite
insufficient evidence would be $85.5 million dollars over 3
years."

Heinze added that the drug is currently under review following a
submission from the manufacturer Vertex.

"CADTH's initial recommendation and the Ministry of Health's
decision to not cover Orkambi was made in early 2017, under the
previous government. Since that time, Vertex has indicated they
have new data about Orkambi that may impact previous
recommendations . . . Vertex resubmitted to CADTH earlier this
year."

Randy Allan, director of marketing and communications at CADTH,
said that the organization is made up of medical experts and also
asks for input from patients and clinicians.

"Drug reimbursement recommendations are developed by expert
committees ... It's worth noting that input from industry, patient
groups, and clinicians is requested and considered as part of our
drug review processes, and our recommendations are developed using
a standard deliberative framework that ensures consistency across
all of our reviews," he said in a statement.

He said that Orkambi is currently under review with no estimated
date because "the date is dependent on how the process
unfolds."[GN]

CISCON SERVICES: Scheriger Seeks Unpaid Overtime Pay under FLSA
---------------------------------------------------------------
MATTHEW SCHERIGER, AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED UNDER
29 U.S.C. section 216(b), the Plaintiffs, v. CISCON SERVICES, INC.,
the Defendant, Case No. 4:18-cv-02379 (S.D. Tex., July 11, 2018),
alleges that Defendant had violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by
failing to pay Non-Exempt Employees for all overtime hours worked
and overtime at the legally required rate.

The Defendant provides oilfield services to its oil and gas
industry customers throughout the United States. The Defendant has
employed non-exempt workers to assist with directly and indirectly
providing services to its customers at jobsites over the past three
years. NEEs regularly work in excess of 40 hours per workweek.
Defendant does not pay NEEs a guaranteed sum of money each
workweek. Rather, Defendant pays NEEs on a non-exempt basis.
Specifically, Defendant paid NEEs on an hourly basis and/or based
on the quantity of work performed, including on a per-foot-of-pipe
laid basis, per-job basis, and per-assignment basis. The Defendant
has specifically violated the FLSA by paying NEEs pursuant to its
(1) "Uncounted Hours Policy" that fails to pay an NEEs overtime
premium for all overtime hours worked; and (2) "Overtime
Miscalculation Policy" that fails to pay NEEs overtime at the rate
required by the FLSA.[BN]

CORRECTIONAL SERVICES: Intrudes on Inmates' Privacy, Suit Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
Darryl Greer, writing for Courthouse News Service, reports thata
prison inmate claims in a proposed class action that the Canadian
government systematically records privileged communications between
prisoners and their lawyers in federal institutions.

Adrian Philip filed the action against the Attorney General of
Canada in Federal Court, claiming the Canadian government breached
inmates' privacy rights and rights under the country's
constitution. He's imprisoned at Collins Bay Institution, a federal
prison in Kingston, Ontario.

Philip claims the Correctional Service of Canada intrudes upon
inmates' privacy rights "by listening to, recording, and divulging
to their parties the contents of private telephone conversations
between inmates and their respective lawyers."

"Nothing is more likely to have a 'chilling' effect  upon the frank
and free exchange and disclosure of confidences, which should
characterize the relationship between inmate and counsel, than
knowledge that what has been said will be listened to or recorded
by some third person, divulged to other parties, or used against
the inmate," the claim states.

Philip claims he was charged with more crimes while already in
jail, which limited his access to the institution's telephone
system "exclusively for the purposes" of privileged conversations
with his lawyers. He claims he learned that staff at the prison had
listened to and recorded his calls in August 2017, and used the
information to prosecute him for additional offences.

In a phone interview with Courthouse News, Philip's lawyer
RajinderSahota, Esq. --rsahota@awslaw.ca -- with Acheson Sweeney
Foley Sahota, was reluctant to elaborate on the lawsuit's
specifics, such as how his client found out about the recordings.

"At this stage we're in the early days. The pleadings themselves
set out the crux of the factual argument that we're making. We
didn't really hold back," he said. "What I can tell you is that the
concerns that are raised are systemic, they're widespread, and they
exist from coast-to-coast in all federal correctional
institutions."

Sahota said he didn't have numbers to estimate the potential size
of the class, but said it's "going to be a substantial number"
given the scope of the case and time frame because as far as his
firm knows, "it's never been any other way."

"It struck us as something that attacks the very core of our legal
system and the integrity of our legal system is put into question
when this type of conduct occurs," Sahota said. "But the fact that
solicitor-client conversations are being recorded, particularly
when the government is aware that those kind of conversations are
occurring given the way the process has been set up by the
government to record all conversations and have inmates indicate
who they are calling and for what purpose, that's what strikes this
as particularly egregious."

Philip seeks class certification and a declaration that the
Canadian government breached its duties of care and fiduciary
duties to inmates as well as their privacy rights and rights under
the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and damages exceeding
$50,000.

The Correctional Service of Canada did not respond to Courthouse
News' request for comment July 23. According to the agency's
policy, "calls between inmates and privileged correspondents are
normally confidential. They may however be subject to interception"
if certain conditions under corrections regulations and directives
are met.

MARSH, STEPHEN A. BYRNE, JAMES M. MICALI, and HAROLD C. STOWE,
Defendants, DOMINION ENERGY, INC., and SEDONA CORP.,
Defendants-Petitioners, and SCANA CORPORATION, a South Carolina
corporation, Nominal Defendant, Case No. Case No. 3:18-cv-501-MBS,
in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.

The case involves the abandonment and proposed acquisition of a
$9.8 billion project to build two nuclear reactors at the V.C.
Summer site in Jenkinsville, South Carolina.

SCANA, a South Carolina-based company that engages in electric and
natural gas utility operations, abandoned a partially constructed
nuclear reactor facility in 2017.  SCANA's stock price decreased
almost 40 percent to $30.21 per share, and government
investigations and shareholder litigation surrounding SCANA's role
in the nuclear project ensued.  That shareholder litigation
included this lawsuit, in which the Plaintiff asserts that the
Defendant directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties in
connection with the abandonment of the nuclear project.

The questions presented by the Petitioners are:

   -- Does CAFA provide jurisdiction over these classic state-law
      tort claims, as Himmel held and as the Second Circuit's
      seminal CAFA exception jurisprudence requires? or

   -- Do CAFA's narrow securities-based exceptions deprive the
      federal courts of jurisdiction, as other district courts
      have held?

The Petitioners contend that the Appeals Court should grant
permission to appeal because the district courts are split on the
frequently arising question whether these merger-related lawsuits
with aiding and abetting claims belong in federal court.  The
Petitioners argue that the district court's decision in Himmel v.
Bucyrus International, Inc., 2011 WL 13216971 (E.D. Wis. Aug. 23,
2011), is directly on point.  That court upheld the removal of a
functionally identical state court case alleging that the acquired
company's directors breached fiduciary duties in connection with a
proposed merger.[BN]

ECHELON CORP: Rosenblatt Seeks to Halt Sale to Adesto Tech
----------------------------------------------------------
Jordan Rosenblatt, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Echelon Corporation, Ron Sege,
Armas Clifford Markkula, Jr., Robert J. Finocchio, Jr., Robert R.
Maxfield and Betsy Rafael, Defendants, Case No. 18-cv-01103 (D.
Del., July 26, 2018), seeks to enjoin defendants and all persons
acting in concert with them from proceeding with, consummating, or
closing the acquisition of Echelon Corporation by Adesto
Technologies Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Circuit
Acquisition Corporation, rescinding it and setting it aside or
awarding rescissory damages in the event defendants consummate the
merger.

financial advisor, Piper Jaffray & Co., particularly, discounted
cash flow analysis, projected unlevered free cash flows from May
31, 2018 to December 31, 2022 and all constituent line items, the
projected terminal value at December 31, 2022, inputs and

EVANS HOTELS: J. Rutherford Can File SAC in ADA Suit
----------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the Southern District of
California granted Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to File Second
Amended Complaint in the case captioned JAMES RUTHERFORD, and THE
ASSOCIATION 4 EQUAL ACCESS, Plaintiffs, v. EVANS HOTELS, LLC, and
DOES 1 to 50, Defendants, Case No. 18-CV-435-JLS (BGS)(S.D. Cal.).

The Plaintiffs filed a Complaint against the Defendant under the
California Unruh Civil Rights Act and the Americans With
Disabilities Act. The Plaintiffs allege the Defendant's websites
contain access barriers preventing the Plaintiffs, and other
mobility-impaired individuals, from gaining full and equal access
to the reservations services offered by the Defendant.

The Plaintiffs seek leave to file a second amended complaint. the
Plaintiffs state their amended pleading will further explain the
Plaintiffs' contentions and add class allegations.
The Defendant responds that the Plaintiffs' amendments are futile,
untimely, in bad faith, and prejudicial.

The Court agrees with the Plaintiffs; the argument that the
Plaintiffs have not pled an appropriate class is more appropriately
analyzed at the class certification stage.   

However, because Plaintiff Rutherford has not asserted that he is
blind, the Court finds it is more appropriate for him to seek to
represent all legally handicapped individuals rather than all blind
individuals. The Court permits the Plaintiffs to make this change
in their second amended complaint.

Next, the Defendant argues the Plaintiffs have failed to assert
class action allegations until now and thus their proposal is
untimely, in bad faith, and prejudicial.  

The Plaintiffs argue their amendment is not untimely because the
Scheduling Order allows the Parties to amend the pleadings until
July 9, 2018, and the Plaintiffs moved to do so before this date.


The Court finds the Plaintiffs did not unduly delay in attempting
to amend their complaint because this case is still early in
litigation. Contra McGlinchy v. Shell Chem. Co., 845 F.2d 802, 809
(9th Cir. 1988), finding undue delay when the plaintiffs should
have been aware of the additional claim when they filed their
original complaint but waited until the trial date had been vacated
to attempt to amend their complaint). Further, given the early
procedural posture, the Court finds no bad faith in Plaintiffs'
request to amend.

EXO: Faces Class-Action Over Late, Cancelled Train Service
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Lapierre, writing for Montreal Gazette, reports that a
request for a class-action lawsuit filed at the Montreal courthouse
on July 23 argues that Exo should compensate commuters affected by
late or cancelled trains.

The request contends that the commuter train service provider
(formerly known as the AMT and the RTM) failed to provide adequate
service to people who purchased tickets and passes in the past
three years, causing them and their families "stress and
inconvenience, out-of-pocket expenses, loss of income and loss of
opportunity for advancement."

The class-action request was filed by lawyer James Duggan, Esq. --
info@dugganavocats.ca -- who knows the service issues on Exo's
Deux-Montagnes line firsthand.

Duggan takes the train to work each morning from the Roxboro
station. He has been frustrated by cancelled trains at rush hour
and has seen people waiting in the cold, unable to get on trains
that are filled.

"I've been on that train like a hostage for what felt like hours,"
he said. "One morning, what normally takes half an hour took two
hours."

On July 17, Exo announced that it could no longer guarantee the
punctuality of its trains on the Deux-Montagnes and Mascouche
lines. The organization said that since June 25, because of
construction of the REM light rail project, trains travelling in
both directions on the Deux-Montagnes line were only able to use a
single track between Montpellier station and the Mont-Royal tunnel
entrance.

Furthermore, the MR-90 cars that run on the line are due to be
upgraded, but because of high demand, cars that need repairs are
often kept in service on the network.

The class-action request maintains that Exo's inability to
adequately service and maintain the Deux-Montagnes line shows
disregard for its clientele.

Duggan said one of the main goals of the class action would be to
improve service so people can get to work on time.

"We've asked for the court to order Exo to take all necessary
action to remedy the service problem," he said. "It's not just
about compensation. It's compensation plus remedial action."

Exo spokesperson Elaine Arsenault acknowledged that there are
delays on the Deux-Montagnes line, but she said they're improving.
She refused to comment on the class- action request.

Duggan added that since the application was filed, he has received
support from many people and advocacy groups for train users who
are happy that someone is taking legal action against Exo.

One such organization, a Facebook Group page called Mouvement/Rally
train Deux-Montagnes, has more than 1,000 members.

Group administrator Yves Racine said the small compensation that
Exo has provided to train users wasn't enough. Users received 30
per cent off of one monthly pass to make up for late and cancelled
trains.

"I don't think it's enough," he said. "When you pay up to $200 a
month for your monthly pass, you expect good service."

The suit was filed on behalf of anyone who traveled on the Exo
network (formerly the AMT and RTM) in the past three years and
their families. If approved, it will probaby take years to wind its
way through the courts. [GN]

FARMLAND PARTNERS: Alexander Kachmar Sues over Share Price Drop
---------------------------------------------------------------
ALEXANDER KACHMAR, Individually and On Behalf of All Others
Similarly Situated, the Plaintiff, v. FARMLAND PARTNERS INC., PAUL
A. PITTMAN, and LUCA FABBRI, the Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-01771
(D. Colo., July 11, 2018), seeks to recover damages caused by
Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws, and remedies
under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and
certain of its top officials.

The case is a federal securities class action on behalf of a class
consisting of all persons other than Defendants who purchased or
otherwise acquired Farmland Partners securities between May 9, 2017
through July 10, 2018, both dates inclusive. Farmland Partners is
an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to
acquire high-quality North American farmland and makes loans to
farmers secured by farm real estate. Farmland purports to own or
have under contract over 166,000 acres in 17 states. Farmland
Partners is based in Denver, Colorado. Its common stock trades on
the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FPI".
Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and
misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational
and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or
misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Farmland
Partners artificially increased its revenues by marking loans to
related party tenants; (ii) as a results of the foregoing, Farmland
Partners' Class Period revenues were overstated; and (iii) as a
result, Farmland Partners' public statements were materially false
and misleading at all relevant times.

On July 11, 2018, Rota Fortunae published an online report alleging
that Farmland artificially increased revenues "by making loans to
related-party tenants who round-trip the cash back to FPI as rent."
According to the report, 310% of Farmland's 2017 earnings could be
fabricated. The report further stated that "[w]e found evidence
that strongly supports FPI has significantly overpaid for
properties; under normal circumstances, we estimate FPI is worth
$4.85/share, but we think the shares are un-investible."

On this news, the price of Farmland Partners common stock fell
$3.37, or 38.96%, to close at $5.28 on July 11, 2018, and the price
of Farmland Partners Series B preferred stock fell $6.08, or
24.75%, to close at $18.49 on July 11, 2018. As a result of
Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous
decline in the market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff
and other Class members have suffered significant losses and
damages.

Farmland Partners Inc. is an internally managed, publicly traded
(NYSE: FPI) real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire

FLOUR CORP: Loses Bid for Judgment on Pleadings in WARN Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the District of South
Carolina, Rock Hill Division, denied Defendants' Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings in the case captioned Harry Pennington
III and Timothy Lorentz, on behalf of themselves and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. Fluor Corporation, Fluor
Enterprises, Inc., Fluor Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc., SCANA
Corporation, and South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, Defendants,
Civil Action No. 0:17-cv-02094-JMC (D.S.C.).

The Plaintiffs filed this putative class action against the
Defendants alleging that the termination of their employment, was
in violation of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification
Act (WARN Act).

In their Motion, the Fluor Defendants first argue that they are
entitled to judgment on the pleadings based on the Plaintiffs'
counsel's statements at the February 14, 2018 motion hearing. More
specifically, they argue that the Plaintiffs' counsel's statements
are party admissions proving that Fluor Defendants did not order
the plant closing which relieves Fluor Defendants from liability
under the WARN Act.

Secondly, the Fluor Defendants argue that they should be dismissed
from the action because the Plaintiffs' counsel's admissions also
support the applicability of the unforeseeable business
circumstances (UBC) exception. The Fluor Defendants assert that the
Plaintiffs' counsel's admissions demonstrate that SCANA's sudden
and unexpected shutdown of the V.C. Summer project left the the
Fluor Defendants with zero independence' to provide WARN notices.

The Plaintiffs oppose the Fluor Defendants' Motion for Judgment on
the Pleadings arguing that the statements of the Plaintiffs'
counsel at the February 14, 2018 motion hearing were "not
stipulations averring that Fluor did not order a plant closing" but
are simply inferences Fluor draws from words that do not state the
conclusions Fluor wants. The Plaintiffs further argue that all
Fluor can do is ask the Court to draw an inference in its favor,
i.e., that Fluor did not order a 'plant closing' because counsel
said SCANA did.

Upon conducting a plain reading of the Plaintiffs' counsel's
statements from the February 14, 2018 motion hearing, the court is
not persuaded that they are deliberate, clear, and unambiguous
admissions by the Plaintiffs' counsel that the Fluor Defendants
failed to order the shutdown of the VC Summer project. As support,
the court observes that several of the statements contain legal
thoughts or theories which do not generally operate as judicial
admissions.

The court further observes that the statements factually
referencing the SCANA Defendants do not evince an intent to
deliberately waive the right to present evidence regarding the
Fluor Defendants' alleged role in the VC Summer shutdown. Moreover,
the factual references to the SCANA Defendants in the Plaintiffs'
counsel's statements also do not appear to contradict the
allegations of the Amended Complaint wherein the Plaintiffs allege
that the SCANA Defendants were the single employer together with
the Fluor Defendants and/or WEC of all individuals working at VC
Summer.   

In view of the preceding observations, the court finds that the
statements of the Plaintiffs' counsel do not constitute judicial
admissions entitling the Fluor Defendants to judgment on the
pleadings.

The Fluor Defendants also contend that they are entitled to
judgment on the pleadings because the UBC exception applies to the
shutdown of the VC Summer project.

The Court finds that the Fluor Defendants have not met their burden
of demonstrating the applicability of the UBC exception. First, the
court does not perceive any support in the pleadings or documents
incorporated in the pleadings for finding that the Fluor Defendants
provided statutorily compliant notice when they eventually did
inform their employees that they were being terminated. Second, the
pleadings and their incorporated documents do not clearly identify
the unforeseeable business circumstances that caused the shutdown
of the VC Summer project. Based on this, the Fluor Defendants are
not entitled to judgment on the pleadings based on the UBC
exception.

The court, accordingly, denies the Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings under Rule 12(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
filed by Fluor Corporation, Fluor Enterprises, Inc., and Fluor
Daniel Maintenance Services, Inc.

FORD MOTORS: Judge Rejects Motion to Dismiss Explorer Exhaust Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt Reynolds, writing for Courthouse News service, reports that
Three Ford Explorer owners who sued over an alleged defect that
allows exhaust fumes to seep into the SUV's cabin can proceed with
their claims after a federal judge on July 16  rejected the motor
company's motion to dismiss.

In the class action complaint in the Eastern District of Michigan
court, the owners of Ford Explorer models from 2016 and 2017 sued
Ford Motor Company in August 2017 alleging that dangerous carbon
monoxide had leaked into passenger cabins causing headaches, nausea
and dizziness. The odorlessness gas is potentially fatal.

Lead plaintiff and Atlanta, Georgia retiree Suresh Persad, 67, said
that he had bought a 2016 Ford Explorer and soon realized exhaust
fumes were accumulating in the compartment when he was driving. He
claimed that after he took the vehicle to the dealer for a road
test, it said there was no problem and refused to repair the
defect.

Ford countered that its Explorers are safe to drive but offered
customers free service to address the issue. The company asked U.S.
District Judge Terrence Berg to throw out the lawsuit on procedural
grounds arguing that the plaintiffs had failed to sufficiently
state claims of fraudulent concealment, negligent
misrepresentation, breach of express warranty and other counts.

Berg denied the motion in its entirety rejecting the notion that
the owners were on notice because of publicly known issues with
earlier Explorer models. The vehicle owners had made clear that
they had no way of knowing that the same defect existed in their
later models, the judge said.

"Indeed, a plausible inference could be drawn in the opposite
direction – that because older Ford Explorers suffered from
well-publicized exhaust fume defects, a reasonably prudent consumer
might expect that Ford had rectified this issue in the newer
models," Berg wrote in the 23-page opinion.

Berg rejected Ford's contention that the lawsuit only alleged a
design defect, not covered under the Dearborn, Michigan company's
warranties.  The judge said the court needs to see more evidence to
establish whether the fault is caused by a flaw in materials used
in the exhaust and air conditioning and heating systems or
manufacturing.

"At this stage of the litigation, plaintiffs' allegations are
sufficient to sustain that the exhaust fume defect is covered by
the applicable warranties," the judge wrote, adding that the
owners' claims fall within the warranty period of 3 years or 36,000
miles.

Berg gave Ford two weeks to file an answer in court.

Since 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has
been investigating the claims that Explorers models from 2011 to
2017 were exposing drivers to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

According to The Center for Auto Safety, Ford has failed to fix the
defect, and the agency has yet to complete its investigation.
Earlier this month, the advocacy group sent a letter to Ford CEO
Jim Hackett demanding that it recall 1.3 million vehicles. Though
Ford has offered customers free service, drivers have still
complained that they have felt nauseous, dizzy and suffered from
headaches while driving, the group says.

FOUNDATION MEDICINE: Michael Kent Balks at Roche Merger Deal
------------------------------------------------------------
MICHAEL KENT, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. FOUNDATION MEDICINE, INC., MICHAEL J.
PELLINI, ALEXIS BORISY, TROY COX, MICHAEL R. DOUGHERTY, SANDRA
HORNING, EVAN JONES, DANIEL O'DAY, MICHAEL D. VARNEY, KRISHNA
YESHWANT, ROCHE HOLDINGS, INC., and MERGER SUBSIDIARY, the
Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-01028-UNA (D. Del., July 11, 2018),
seeks to enjoin Defendants and all persons acting in concert with
them from proceeding with, consummating, or closing a proposed
transaction, and in the event Defendants consummate the Proposed
Transaction, rescinding it and setting it aside or awarding
rescissory damages.

The action stems from a proposed transaction announced on June 19,
2018, pursuant to which Foundation Medicine, Inc. will be acquired
by Roche Holdings, Inc. and Merger Subsidiary, Inc. On June 18,
2018, Foundation Medicine's Board of Directors caused the Company
to enter into an agreement and plan of merger with Roche. Pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Roche commenced a tender
offer, set to expire on July 30, 2018. If the Proposed Transaction
is consummated, Foundation Medicine stockholders will receive
$137.00 in cash for each share of Foundation Medicine.

On July 2, 2018, defendants filed a Solicitation/Recommendation
Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Solicitation
Statement omits material information with respect to the Proposed
Transaction, which renders the Solicitation Statement false and
misleading. Accordingly, plaintiff alleges herein that defendants
violated Sections 14(e), 14(d), and 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the Solicitation
Statement.

Foundation Medicine, Inc. is a public American company based in
Cambridge, Massachusetts which develops, manufactures and sells

FOUNDATION MEDICINE: Wang Balks at Merger Deal with Roche
---------------------------------------------------------
ELAINE WANG, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. FOUNDATION MEDICINE, INC., ALEXIS
BORISY, TROY COX, MICHAEL R. DOUGHERTY, SANDRA HORNING M.D., EVAN
JONES, DANIEL O'DAY, MICHAEL J. PELLINI M.D., MICHAEL D. VARNEY
Ph.D., and KRISHNA YESHWANT M.D., the Defendants, the Defendants,
Case No. 1:18-cv-11435 (D. Mass., July 10, 2018), is a class action
brought by Plaintiff on behalf of herself and other ordinary
stockholders of Foundation Medicine, Inc., against the Company and
the members Foundation Medicine's board of directors for their
violations of Section 14(e), 14(d)(4) and 20(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, in connection with the proposed acquisition
of Foundation Medicine by certain affiliates of Roche Holdings,
Inc., which already owns roughly 57% of the Company.

The Defendants have violated the Exchange Act by causing a
materially incomplete and misleading Registration Statement on
Schedule 14D-9 to be filed on July 2, 2018 with the SEC and
disseminated to Company stockholders. The 14D-9 recommends that
Company stockholders tender their shares for the Tender Offer
price. The Tender Offer was set to expire on July 30, 2018, whereby
Foundation Medicine would merge with and into 062018 Merger
Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Roche, with the
Company continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Roche.

The Tender Offer is structured as a two-step tender offer. Pursuant
to the terms of the definitive agreement and plan of merger the
companies entered into each Foundation Medicine common share issued
and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive $137.00
in cash.

The Plaintiff alleges that the 14D-9 is materially false and/or
misleading because, inter alia, it fails to disclose certain
material internal financial information about the Company, relied
on by the financial advisor of the Company's Special Committee,
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to render an opinion that the Tender Offer
is fair to Foundation Medicine shareholders, and certain material
information regarding the sales process leading up to the Tender
Offer, which omissions render the 14D-9 incomplete and/or
misleading.[BN]

to heightened scrutiny by U.S. and foreign government bodies with
respect to the Company's compliance with money laundering and
bribery laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and (ii)
as a result, Defendants' statements about Glencore's business,
operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading
and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.[BN]

similarly situated v. MICHAEL W. FRERICHS, Treasurer of the State
of Illinois, Case No. 1:16-cv-03792, in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Plaintiffs

JETBLUE AIRWAYS: Alatortev Appeals N.D. Cal. Ruling to 9th Cir.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff Igor A. Alatortev filed an appeal from a court ruling in
the lawsuit entitled Igor Alatortev v. Jetblue Airways Corp., Case
No. 3:17-cv-04859-WHO, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California, San Francisco.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, in June 2015,
JetBlue instituted a new policy to charge a passenger traveling on
a domestic flight a fee of $25 for his first bag checked (or $20
under certain conditions), $35 for the second bag, and $100 for a
third bag.  The baggage fee is charged in a transaction separate
and apart from the customer's purchase of the airline ticket.

On May 12, 2017, Mr. Alatortev and his wife were charged a fee of
$25 for JetBlue to deliver his wife's bag from Boston,
Massachusetts, to Sacramento, California.  According to Mr.
Alatortev, he and his wife were "advised that their flight would be
diverted to San Francisco, California."  Once they arrived in San
Francisco, they discovered, and it was confirmed, that their bag
had been lost.  Mr. Alatortev alleges that JetBlue did not
ultimately deliver the bag until May 15, 2017, when he had to
return to the airport and pick it up.  JetBlue did not refund the
baggage fee, but instead offered them a credit that would require
them to do business with JetBlue in the future.

The Plaintiff alleges that JetBlue took the deliberate self-imposed
undertaking to create a baggage fee, set the baggage fee, and
require its passengers to pay the baggage fee.  He brought claims
on behalf of a putative class against JetBlue purportedly based on
JetBlue's Contract of Carriage ("COC") for breach of contract,
unjust enrichment/quasi contract, and breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

The appellate case is captioned as Igor Alatortev v. Jetblue
Airways Corp., Case No. 18-16225, in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[BN]

JOHNNY ROCKETS: Harris Sues over Workplace Harassment
-----------------------------------------------------
TIFFANY HARRIS, the Plaintiff, v. JOHNNY ROCKETS OF LAWRENCE; GEETA
CHOPRA, and JOHN DOES 1-5 AND 6-10, the Defendants, Case No.
MER-L-001469-18 (N.J. Sup. Ct., July 11, 2018), seeks to recover
compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, cost of suit,
attorneys' fees, enhanced attorneys' fees, equitable reinstatement,
equitable back pay, equitable front pay and any other relief the
Court deems equitable and just.

According to the complaint, the case is opened to the Court
pursuant to the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination's prohibition
on workplace harassment predicated upon race and/or ethnicity and
upon sexual orientation. The complaint further alleges that
plaintiff was retaliatory discharged for engaging in protected
conduct under the LAD, to wit, making complaint about the above
harassment. Individual liability is sought against Owner Geeta
Chopra on the grounds that all persons who undertake acts of
reprisal are liable for same, on the grounds that she is the
corporate alter ego of the defendant, and on the grounds that she
aided and abetted the company in undertaking wrongful conduct.

The Plaintiff asks that the Court order the defendants to cease and
desist all conduct inconsistent with the claims made going forward,
both as to the specific plaintiff and as to all other individuals
similarly situated.[BN]

JUNIPER PHARMA: Seedman Seeks to Block Sale to Catalent
-------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Seedman, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cristina
Csimma, James A. Geraghty, Jennifer Good, Mary Ann Gray, Ann
Merrifield, Richard Messina, Nikin Patel and Alicia Secor,
Defendants, Case No. 18-cv-11584 (D. Mass., July 26, 2018), seeks
to enjoin defendants and all persons acting in concert with them
from proceeding with, consummating, or closing the acquisition of
Juniper Catalent Pharma Solutions, rescinding it and setting it
aside or awarding rescissory damages in the event defendants
consummate the merger.  The Plaintiff also seeks costs of this
action, including reasonable allowance for attorneys' and experts'
fees and such other and further relief under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Catalent Boston, Inc. will
purchase all outstanding shares of Juniper for $11.50 in cash per
share of Juniper’s common stock.

The Plaintiff asserts that the Defendant's proxy statement omitted
the Company's financial projections, as well as the analyses
performed by its financial advisor, Rothschild Inc.  Juniper's
financial projections, data and inputs underlying the financial
valuation analyses that support the fairness opinion provided by
Rothschild and the background process leading to the merger are
also missing, he says.

Juniper is a Delaware corporation with its principal executive
offices located at 33 Arch Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. It
is a diversified healthcare company into pharmaceutical development
and manufacturing. [BN]

MATTRESS FIRM: Fails to Pay OT & Minimum Wages, Anderson Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
STEPHANIE ANDERSON, individually, and on behalf of other members of
the general public similarly situated, and as aggrieved employees
pursuant to the Private Attorneys General Act, the Plaintiff, v.
MATTRESS FIRM, INC., a Delaware corporation; and DOES 1 through
100, inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. RG18912026 (Cal. Super.
Ct., July 10, 2018), contends that the Defendants knew or should
have known that they had a duty to compensate Plaintiff and other
members of the class, and that Defendants had the financial ability
to pay compensation, but willfully, knowingly, and intentionally
failed to do so, and falsely represented to Plaintiff and other
class members that they were properly denied wages, all in order to
increase Defendants' profits.

The Defendants operate retail mattress stores in various locations
throughout the State of California.  The Defendants employed
Plaintiff as a non-exempt, hourly-paid employee, in its multiple
California retail stores through approximately July of 2017.  The
Defendants continue to employ non-exempt, hourly-paid employees at
multiple retail locations throughout California.

Mattress Firm is an American retailing company and mattress store

located in Houston, Texas.[BN]

MDL 2842: David Samuel's Suit v. CBOE et al. Consolidated
---------------------------------------------------------
The class action lawsuit titled DAVID SAMUEL, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. JOHN
DOES, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. and Atlantic Trading USA, LLC, the
Defendants, Case No. 1:18-cv-01593, was transferred from the U.S.
District Court for Southern District of New York, to the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago) on
July 11, 2018. The District of Illinois Court Clerk assigned Case
No. 1:18-cv-04173 to the proceeding. The case is assigned to the
Hon. Judge Manish S. Shah

The Samuel case is being consolidated with MDL 2842 in re: Chicago
Board Options Exchange Volatility Index Manipulation Antitrust
Litigation. The MDL was created by Order of the United States
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation on July 14, 2018. The
actions concern alleged manipulation of a financial indicator known
as the Cboe Volatility Index (commonly referred to as the VIX) and
VIX-linked financial instruments. The defendants are unknown John
Doe entities, described as financial institutions and firms that
trade anonymously on the Cboe exchanges; nine firms identified as
participants in the alleged conspiracy; and the Cboe entities,
which allegedly established the VIX and oversee markets in
VIX-linked futures and option.

In its July 14, 2018 Order, the MDL Panel concludes that the
Northern District of Illinois is an appropriate transferee district
for this litigation. The Cboe defendants have their headquarters in
Chicago, and given their alleged role in creating, marketing, and
regulating VIX futures and options and conducting the underlying
special auctions, much of the common evidence likely will be
located there. The majority of the other defendants named thus far
also have their headquarters in Chicago. Additionally, the MDL
Panel held that this district is the first choice of plaintiffs in
10 actions and the second choice of plaintiffs in two Southern
District of New York actions, and the Cboe defendants agree that it
will serve the convenience of all parties. The lead case is
1:18-cv-04171.[BN]

MISSOURI: Foster Kids Suing for Overmedication Win Class Status
---------------------------------------------------------------
Matt Reynolds, writing for Courthouse News Service, reports that
three children earned class-action status on July 19 in a lawsuit
claiming Missouri overprescribed psychotropic medications to
thousands of kids in foster care.

In what has been called a landmark case, advocacy groups Children's
Rights, National Center for Youth Law, and St. Louis University
School of Law Legal Clinics sued Missouri on behalf of three foster
children in June 2017, alleging the state was unlawfully
prescribing drugs without regard to the harms they can cause, in
violation of the children's civil rights.

Administrators failed to properly maintain and review medical
records and prescription data and gave the drugs to foster children
to sedate them rather than for a valid medical purpose, the groups
say.

In January, U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey refused to throw
out the plaintiffs' substantive due process claims under the 14th
Amendment while dismissing other allegations.

On July 19, the judge gave the foster children another boost by
granting their motion for class certification.

In a mostly procedural ruling, Laughrey noted that as of December
last year the Missouri Department of Social Services has more than
13,500 children under its care, and that about 3,100 foster
children are being medicated with psychotropic drugs.

The judge ruled that the class shall consist of all minors in the
department's Children's Division who are prescribed psychotropic
drugs while in foster care.

A 12-year-old girl identified as a "K.C." in the lawsuit was
prescribed as many as five psychotropic medications without
informed consent, according to court records. The girl suffered
from shakes after allegedly being given a combination of
medications that included the antipsychotic Abilify, the ADHD drug
Strattera and the powerful psychotropic drug Seroquel.

She frequently got into fights at her residential facility but
became less aggressive after she stopped taking Seroquel, the
complaint states. She is still angry and sad, according to court
records, and has gained more than 15 pounds over three months of
being on cocktail of drugs.

Jennifer Tidball, interim director of the Missouri Department of
Social Services, and Tim Decker, director of the department's
Children's Division, are parties to the lawsuit.

Mary Compton, a spokeswoman with Attorney General Josh Hawley's
office, did not comment specifically on the court's ruling,
referring instead to an April filing that asked the court to deny
certification.

Missouri acknowledged problems with medical recordkeeping and
prescription drug data in a 2016 report to the federal government.

"Many foster care children are prescribed multiple psychotropic
medications without clear evidence of benefit and with inadequate
safety data. The use of multiple medications (psychotropic or
otherwise) creates the potential for serious drug interactions,"
the report states.

The case is scheduled for a bench trial on June 17, 2019.

MONSANTO COMPANY: Don Jons Sues over Cotton, Soybean Xtend Seeds
----------------------------------------------------------------
KAY DON JONS, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, v. MONSANTO COMPANY, the Defendant, Case
No. 3:18-cv-03010-RAL (D. S.Dak., July 11, 2018), is a class action
on behalf of individuals across the country whose crops have been
wiped out due to Defendant Monsanto Company's marketing of its
genetically modified cotton and soybean Xtend seeds without a
corollary EPA-approved herbicide.  The decision to offer a GMO seed
without an EPA-approved herbicide flies in the face of standard
agrochemical corporate practice, the lawsuit claims.  The
incomplete system, a dangerously defective product, was sold to
unsuspecting farmers causing widespread damage to Class members'
property and crops throughout the United States.

Instead of waiting to market its Xtend seeds until a safe herbicide
was available to farmers, Monsanto pushed ahead, and made millions
of dollars telling unsuspecting farmers that a "safe" and "lower
volatility" dicamba herbicide was forthcoming. Without this
herbicide, the foreseeable and realized outcome was not so
profitable for many farmers. Those that purchased the incomplete
and defective system predictably applied a volatile dicamba ("old
dicamba"), the only herbicide that would protect their new seeds,
damaging or wiping out entire swaths of vegetation (i.e. Class
members' crops) that were not the intended target of the herbicide
due to drift. Monsanto actively promoted the illicit use of the
highly volatile and potent herbicide with knowledge that crops
without its new genetic traits would be damaged due to
volatilization and drift.

Monsanto Company is an agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology
corporation. It was headquartered in Creve Coeur, Greater St.
Louis, Missouri.[BN]

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE: Parties in "Franchi" Suit Enters Into MOU
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. said in its Form 8-K filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed on June 26, 2018,
that the parties in the case Franchi v. Nationstar Mortgage
Holdings Inc., et al., have entered into a memorandum of
understanding (MOU).

As disclosed in the proxy statement/prospectus, on May 8, 2018, a
purported class action lawsuit, styled as Franchi v. Nationstar
Mortgage Holdings Inc., et al., Case No. 3:18-cv-01170-B (the
"Action"), was filed in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas naming Nationstar, WMIH, Wand Merger
Corporation and the individual members of the Nationstar board of
directors as defendants (collectively, the "Defendants"). The
complaint alleges that the Defendants violated the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") by disseminating a false
and misleading registration statement.

The lawsuit seeks a variety of equitable and injunctive relief
including, among other things, enjoining the consummation of the
merger, rescinding the merger to the extent already implemented,
directing the Defendants to disseminate a registration statement
that does not contain any untrue statement of material fact,
declaring the Defendants violated the Exchange Act, and awarding
the Plaintiff and the putative class costs and attorneys' fees.

On June 26, 2018, the Plaintiff and the Defendants entered into a
memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") to resolve the claims
asserted by the Plaintiff. Pursuant to the MOU, the Parties agreed
that the Defendants would cause to be made the supplemental
disclosures. The MOU further specifies that, within five (5)
business days of the closing of Merger, the Parties will file a
stipulation of dismissal of the Action pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 41(a). That stipulation will dismiss Plaintiff's
individual claims with prejudice, and dismiss the claims
purportedly asserted on behalf of a putative class of Nationstar
shareholders without prejudice.

The MOU will not affect the timing of the special meeting of
Nationstar shareholders, the timing of the Merger or the amount or
form of consideration to be paid in the Merger.

The Defendants believe that the Action is without merit and that no
supplemental disclosure is required to the proxy
statement/prospectus under any applicable rule, statute, regulation
or law. However, in order to, among other things, eliminate the
burden, inconvenience, expense, risk, and disruption of continuing
litigation, Nationstar has determined that it will make the
supplemental disclosures.

The Nationstar board of directors continues to recommend
unanimously, following the unanimous recommendation of a special
committee of the Nationstar board of directors, that you vote "FOR"
the proposals being considered at the special meeting of Nationstar
shareholders.

A copy of the supplemental disclosure is available at
https://goo.gl/RfGxFi.

Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. provides servicing, origination,
and transaction based services primarily to single-family
residences in the United States. It operates in three segments:
Servicing, Originations, and Xome. The company is based in Coppell,

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE: T. Toland's TCPA Suit Remains in Dist. Court
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the Northern District of
California denied Plaintiffs' Motion to Remand the case captioned
TAQUELIA WASHINGTON TOLAND, et al., Plaintiffs, v. NATIONSTAR
MORTGAGE LLC, et al., Defendants, Case No. 3:17-cv-02575-JD (N.D.
Cal.).

The Plaintiffs filed this putative class action in California state
court alleging that defendants' debt collection and debt reporting
practices violate California law. Defendants removed to federal
court under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA).  The Plaintiffs
challenge removal on the ground that the defendants cannot
establish the $5,000,000 minimum amount in controversy that CAFA
requires.

Because Nationstar cannot identify potential class members without
manually reviewing its files, it surveyed the 6,882 loans to
estimate what proportion of those loans were purchase-money loans
charged off as a result of foreclosure on a senior lien.
Nationstar selected 105 files at random after excluding a subset of
loans charged off before Nationstar acquired those servicing
rights, since it was less likely that Nationstar had all the
necessary records related to those loans. For 52 loan files,
Nationstar was unable to determine the purpose of the loan at all.
For the remaining 53 loan files, Nationstar found that 10 were
purchase-money loans charged off as a result of a foreclosure on a
senior lien. Extrapolating to the 6,882 loans as a whole,
Nationstar estimates that there are around 1,300 putative class
members.

Consequently, the Court finds that Nationstar has satisfied its
burden of proof and shown that at least $5,000,000 is in
controversy.

PATTERSON COMPANIES: Still Defends Dental Supplies Antitrust Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Patterson Companies, Inc. said in its Form 10-K report filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
ended April 28, 2018, that the company continues to defend itself
in a consolidated Dental Supplies Antitrust Suit.

Beginning in January 2016, purported antitrust class action
complaints were filed against defendants Henry Schein, Inc., Benco
Dental Supply Company and Patterson Companies, Inc.

Although there were factual and legal variations among these
complaints, each alleged that defendants conspired to foreclose and
exclude competitors by boycotting manufacturers, state dental
associations, and others that deal with defendants' competitors. On
February 9, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of New York ordered all of these actions, and all other actions
filed thereafter asserting substantially similar claims against
defendants, consolidated for pre-trial purposes.

On February 26, 2016, a consolidated class action complaint was
filed by Arnell Prato, D.D.S., P.L.L.C., d/b/a Down to Earth
Dental, Evolution Dental Sciences, LLC, Howard M. May, DDS, P.C.,
Casey Nelson, D.D.S., Jim Peck, D.D.S., Bernard W. Kurek, D.M.D.,
Larchmont Dental Associates, P.C., and Keith Schwartz, D.M.D., P.A.
(collectively, "putative class representatives") in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of New York, entitled In re
Dental Supplies Antitrust Litigation, Civil Action No.
1:16-CV-00696-BMC-GRB.

Subject to certain exclusions, the putative class representatives
seek to represent all persons who purchased dental supplies or
equipment in the U.S. directly from any of the defendants, since
August 31, 2008.

In the consolidated class action complaint, putative class
representatives allege a nationwide agreement among Henry Schein,
Benco, Patterson and non-party Burkhart Dental Supply Company, Inc.
not to compete on price. The consolidated class action complaint
asserts a single count under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, and
seeks equitable relief, compensatory and treble damages, jointly
and severally, interest, and reasonable costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and expert fees.

Patterson Companies said "While the outcome of litigation is
inherently uncertain, we believe the consolidated class action
complaint is without merit, and we are vigorously defending
ourselves in this litigation."

Patterson Companies, Inc. is a value-added specialty distributor
serving the U.S. and Canadian dental supply markets and the U.S.,
Canadian and U.K. animal health supply markets. Patterson operates
through its two strategic business units, Patterson Dental and
Patterson Animal Health, offering similar products and services to
different customer bases. The company is based in St. Paul,
Minnesota.

PPG INDUSTRIES: Trevor Mild Securities Suit Underway in California
------------------------------------------------------------------
PPG Industries, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2018, that the company continues to defend itself in a
class action suit filed by Trevor Mild in the U.S. District Court
for the District for the Central District of California.

On May 20, 2018, a putative securities class action lawsuit was
filed in the U.S. District Court for the District for the Central

QUALITY DISTRIBUTION: Approval of Class Settlement Partly Reversed
------------------------------------------------------------------
The District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District, affirmed
in part and reversed in part the trial court's judgment granting
Plaintiffs' Motion to Class Certification and Approving Class
Action Settlement in the case captioned SEAN J. GRIFFITH,
Appellant, v. QUALITY DISTRIBUTION, INC.; GARY R. ENZOR; THOMAS R.
MIKLICH; RICHARD B. MARCHESE; ALAN H. SCHUMACHER; ANNETTE M.
SANDBERG; APAX PARTNERS LLP; APAX VII-A L.P.; APAX VII-B L.P.; APAX
VIII-I L.P.; APAX VIII-2 L.P.; GRUDEN ACQUISITION, INC.; GRUDEN
MERGER SUB, INC.; and RICHARD DELMAN, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, Appellees, Case No. 2D17-3160 (Fla.
App.).

Sean J. Griffith appeals an order certifying a class and approving
a class action settlement in a case brought by shareholders of
Quality Distribution, Inc., against the corporation for breach of
fiduciary duty and failure to disclose relevant information
relating to a proposed acquisition by Apax Partners, LLC.

Richard Delman, a shareholder of Quality, filed a class action
complaint against Quality, its board members, and Apax. Delman
alleged a count against the board members for breach of fiduciary
duties, a count against Quality and the board members for failure
to disclose, and a count against Apax for aiding and abetting in
the breaches of fiduciary duties. Delman alleged that Quality and
its board members engaged in a flawed sale process and agreed to an
inadequate sale price. Delman also alleged that Quality and its
board members failed to include in the proxy statement information
that is material to the shareholders' decisions on whether to
approve the merger.

On appeal, Griffith argues (1) that the trial court erred in
approving the settlement without applying the standard set forth in
In re Trulia, (2) that the trial court erred in certifying the
class without considering whether class counsel provided the class
with adequate representation, and (3) that the trial court erred in
denying his request for fees.  

Where the parties, as here, seek certification of the class and
approval of their settlement simultaneously, the trial court is
required to apply heightened scrutiny and to take a more active
role as a guardian of the interests of the absent class members.
Griffith contends that the trial court erred in failing to either
apply the full Grosso test or in failing to adopt the full In re
Trulia standard, which he argues is consistent with the Grosso
test. He claims that the trial court improperly used a
single-factor test in ruling that a settlement may be approved as
long as the proposed release is commensurate with the claims raised
in the case.

In In re Trulia, the Delaware Court of Chancery discussed the
proliferation of disclosure settlements and the problems associated
with a request to approve such a settlement.  The court was asked
to approve a proposed settlement of a class action brought by
shareholders of Trulia, Inc., for breach of fiduciary duty relating
to a proposed merger with Zillow, Inc. The parties engaged in
limited discovery, and within four months after the complaint was
filed, the shareholders entered into an agreement to settle.

The court concluded that in light of the concerns expressed,
disclosure settlements should be met with disfavor unless the
supplemental disclosures address a plainly material
misrepresentation or omission and the subject matter of the
proposed release is narrowly circumscribed to encompass nothing
more than disclosure claims and fiduciary duty claims concerning
the sale process, if the record shows that such claims have been
investigated sufficiently.

The supplemental information will be considered plainly material if
there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable shareholder
would consider it important in deciding how to vote or, in other
words, if from the perspective of a reasonable stockholder, there
is a substantial likelihood that it significantly alters the total
mix of information made available.

In order for the settlement to be approved, those supplemental
disclosures must have contained information that corrected a
misrepresentation or omission in the original disclosures and that
information must have been of such a nature that a reasonable
shareholder would likely have considered it important in deciding
how to vote on the merger. Because we now hold that the In re
Trulia standard is applicable and because the trial court's ruling
is based, at least in part, on an incorrect legal standard, we
reverse the trial court's approval of the settlement and remand for
the trial court to apply the proper standard.  

In light of the Court's reversal on this issue, it also reverses
the denial of Griffith's request for fees and remand for
reconsideration of that request after the trial court determines
whether to approve the settlement under the proper standard.

QUICKEN LOANS: Court Allows E. Mattson to Amend TCPA Complaint
--------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the District of Oregon,
Portland Division, granted Plaintiffs' Motion to Amend Initial
Complaint in the case captioned ERIK MATTSON, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. QUICKEN
LOANS, INC.; NEW PENN FINANCIAL, LLC.; VISION QUEST LENDING; and
UNITED MORTGAGE, CORP., Defendant, Case No. 3:17-cv-01840-YY (D.
Ore.).

The Plaintiff brings this putative class action against the
Defendants for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
of 1991 (TCPA). Mattson seeks leave to amend his initial complaint
pursuant to FRCP 15(a)(2), and has included a proposed First
Amended Complaint (FAC) with his motion as required. The FAC
alleges that, within a twelve-month period, each defendant made two
or more calls and/or text messages to Mattson, a registrant of the
national do not call registry, in violation of 47 U.S.C. 227(c) and
47 C.F.R. Section 64.1200(c).

Taking the facts alleged in the FAC as true, Mattson has
sufficiently alleged a claim under 47 U.S.C. Section 227(c).
Accordingly, the motion seeking leave to amend is granted and the
motion to dismiss, previously held in abeyance, is denied as moot.

The FAC does not state a claim under 47 U.S.C. Section 227(d) or 47
C.F.R. Section 64.1200(d).  The FAC alleges that each defendant
violated 47 C.F.R. Section 64.1200(d) by initiating calls for
telemarketing purposes to residential and wireless telephone
subscribers without instituting procedures that comply with the
regulatory minimum standards for maintaining a list of persons who
request not to receive telemarketing calls from them.
However, in his reply in support of the motion for leave to amend,
Mattson specifically disclaims seeking relief for this alleged
violation:

The single claim plaintiff alleges against all defendants is this:
they violated the TCPA by calling plaintiff and the proposed class
members two or more times during a 12-month period while their
numbers were registered on the National Do-Not-Call (DNC) Registry.
He alleges nothing else.

Mattson reiterated the same during oral argument on this motion.

On the basis of this representation, and its own observation that
the FAC does not plead facts to support a claim under 47 USC
Section 227(d) or implementing regulation 47 C.F.R. Section
64.1200(d), this court notes, for purposes of clarity, that the FAC
states only a single claim under 47 U.S.C. 227(c).

the Company prior to its initial public offering and certain

ROADRUNNER TRANS: Parties to Wisconsin Securities Suit in Talks
---------------------------------------------------------------
Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q
Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, that the parties in the
case, In re Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. Securities
Litigation, are currently in mediation.

Following the Company's press release on January 30, 2017, three
putative class actions were filed in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin against the Company and
its former officers, Mark A. DiBlasi and Peter R. Armbruster.

On May 19, 2017, the Court consolidated the actions under the
caption In re Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. Securities
Litigation (Case No. 17-cv-00144), and appointed Public Employees'
Retirement System as lead plaintiff. On March 12, 2018, the lead
plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint ("CAC") on behalf
of a class of persons who purchased the Company's common stock
between March 14, 2013 and January 30, 2017, inclusive.

ROSS & ASSOCIATES: Seeger Sues over Debt Collection Practices
-------------------------------------------------------------
Donna M. Seeger, individually and on behalf of all those similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, v. Ross & Associates, the Defendant, Case
No. 2:18-cv-03969-ADS-AYS (E.D.N.Y., July 10, 2018), seeks to
recover damages caused by Defendant's violations of the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act.

According to the complaint, the Defendant alleges Plaintiff owes a
debt. The Debt was primarily for personal, family or household
purposes and is therefore a "debt" as defined by 15 U.S.C. section
1692a(5). Sometime after the incurrence of the Debt, Plaintiff fell
behind on payments owed. Thereafter, at an exact time known only to
Defendant, the Debt was assigned or otherwise transferred to
Defendant for collection. In its efforts to collect the debt,
Defendant contacted Plaintiff by letter dated July 10, 2017. The
Letter fails to indicate the minimum amount Plaintiff owed at the
time of receipt of the Letter; fails to provide information that
would allow Plaintiff to determine what Plaintiff will need to pay
to resolve the debt at any given moment in the future; fails to
provide information that would allow the least sophisticated
consumer to determine what he or she will need to pay to resolve
the debt at any given moment in the future; and fails to provide
information that would allow the least sophisticated consumer to
determine the amount of interest owed.

& Associates, Ltd. focused primarily on hard-bid projects for
commercial and industrial clients.[BN]

S.A. GEAR: Court Won't Certify Class of Timing Chain Buyers
-----------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the Southern District of
Illinois denied Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification in the
case captioned STEVE WILLIAMSON and RHONDA CHRISTINE LEMASTER, On
Behalf of Themselves and All Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiffs,
v. S.A. GEAR COMPANY, INC., AUTOZONE, INC., AUTOZONE PARTS, INC.,
and AUTOZONE STORES, INC., Defendants, Case No. 15-CV-365-SMY-DGW
(S.D. Ill.).

The Plaintiffs filed a 15-Count Amended Class Action Complaint
against Defendants S.A. Gear Company, Inc. (S.A. Gear), Autozone,
Inc., Autozone Parts, Inc., and Autozone Stores, Inc. (Autozone
Defendants), alleging Defendants manufactured, distributed,
advertised, and/or sold defective timing chain tensioners.  The
Plaintiffs move for class certification under Rules 23(a) and
23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and seek to
represent classes defined as follows:

   Nationwide Class:

   All persons in the United States who purchased from AutoZone
Defendants' timing chain tensioner for use in the Chrysler 2.7L V-6
engine (also known as the Chrysler LH engine) at any time prior to
the date of class certification. Excluded from the Class are any
Defendant, any entity in which any Defendant has a controlling
interest or which has a controlling interest in any Defendant, and
any Defendant's legal representatives, assigns and successors. Also
excluded are the judge to whom this case is assigned and any member
of the judge's immediate family.

   Illinois Class:

   All domiciliary citizens of the state of Illinois who purchased
from AutoZone Defendants' timing chain tensioner for use in the
Chrysler 2.7L V-6 engine (also known as the Chrysler LH engine) at
any time prior to the date of class certification. Excluded from
the Class are any Defendant, any entity in which any Defendant has
a controlling interest or which has a controlling interest in any
Defendant, and any Defendant's legal representatives, assigns and
successors. Also excluded are the judge to whom this case is
assigned and any member of the judge's immediate family.

Numerosity

The Plaintiffs seek to certify nationwide and Illinois classes
consisting of all citizens who purchased Part 9422 from Autozone
for usage in the Chrysler 2.7L V-6 engine. S.A. Gear sold Autozone
over 40,000 units of the Part. Autozone, in turn, sold over 30,000
units of Part 9422 to consumers. As such, numerosity is satisfied.

Commonality

The Defendants argue that commonality does not derive from the fact
that the Part has a universal purpose or universal technical
specifications and suitability issues. They maintain that the
Plaintiffs have failed to establish commonality because the
uncontroverted evidence establishes that any alleged failure of the
Part could be caused by multiple or unrelated factors, including,
but not limited to, engine age and wear, and improper installation
or failure to replace other wear parts such as the timing chain and
gears. In support, they point to Williamson's testimony that the
two tensioners he purchased failed in different ways.  Weighing
individual issues, such as those identified by the Defendants, is
an appropriate approach to analyzing predominance under Rule
23(b)(3). By contrast, a single common question is sufficient to
satisfy the Rule 23(a)(2) commonality requirement. Whether the
Part's packaging was false or misleading is relevant to the
asserted claims and is capable of class-wide resolution.  Thus, the
commonality requirement is satisfied.

Typicality

Typicality is satisfied if the named representative's claim arises
from the same event or practice or course of conduct that gives
rise to the claims of other class members and the claims are based
on the same legal theory. As such, typicality and adequacy
inquiries often overlap. In this case, the Plaintiffs have failed
to demonstrate that they meet the typicality requirement.
Specifically, Plaintiffs have not shown and based on the facts in
the record, cannot show that their claims arise out of the same
event or course of conduct as all putative class members.

Adequacy

The adequacy requirement is satisfied when the named
representatives have a sufficient interest in the outcome of the
case to ensure vigorous advocacy and do not have interests
antagonistic to those of the class. A person whose claim is
idiosyncratic or possibly unique is an unsuitable class
representative. Because the record suggests that few, if any other
potential class members share the Plaintiffs' grievances about the
Part, the Court finds that the Plaintiffs' claims are idiosyncratic
to the class. Thus, they are not proper class representatives.

Accordingly, the Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification is
denied.

SCANA CORP: Dominion Energy Appeals Ruling in Warren Police Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Defendants Dominion Energy, Inc., and Sedona Corp. filed an appeal
from a court ruling in the lawsuit styled City of Warren Police and
Fire Retirement System, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated v. SCANA Corporation, et al., Case No.
3:18-cv-509-MBS, in the U.S. District Court for the District of
South Carolina at Columbia.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the lawsuit
was filed on January 23, 2018, against SCANA Corporation, Dominion
Energy, Inc., Sedona Corp., Jimmy E. Addison, Gregory E. Aliff,
James A. Bennett, John F.A.V. Cecil, Sharon A. Decker, D. Maybank
Hagood, Lynne M. Miller, James W. Roquemore, Maceo K. Sloan, and
Alfredo Trujillo, in the Court of Common Pleas for the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit, County of Lexington, State of South Carolina
(Case No. 2018-CP-32-0268).  The lawsuit was removed on February
21, 2018, to the District Court.

The Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the Defendants
violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by executing a
merger agreement that would unfairly deprive the Plaintiff of the
true value of their SCANA stock, and that Dominion Energy and
Sedona aided and abetted these actions.

Among other remedies, the Plaintiff seeks to enjoin and/or rescind
the proposed merger, as well as unspecified monetary damages,
attorneys' fees, costs and any other relief the court deems
proper.

The appellate case is captioned as Dominion Energy, Inc. v. Warren
Police & Fire Retirement System, Case No. 18-276, in the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.[BN]

SERVICEMASTER CO: Website Not Accessible to Blind, Burbon Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
LUC BURBON, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated,
the Plaintiffs, v. THE SERVICEMASTER COMPANY, LLC d/b/a MERRY
MAIDS, the Defendant, Case No. 1:18-cv-06291 (S.D.N.Y., July 11,
2018), alleges that Defendant failed to design, construct,
maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and
independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually
impaired people.

According to the complaint, Defendant's denial of full and equal
access to its website, and therefore denial of its goods and
services offered thereby and in conjunction with its physical
locations, is a violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans
with Disabilities Act. The Plaintiff is a visually impaired and
legally blind person who requires screen-reading software to read
website content using her computer. Plaintiff uses the terms
"blind" or "visually-impaired" to refer to all people with visual
impairments who meet the legal definition of blindness in that they
have a visual acuity with correction of less than or equal to 20 x
200. Some blind people who meet this definition have limited
vision. Others have no vision.

Based on a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report, approximately 8.1
million people in the United States are visually impaired,
including 2.0 million who are blind, and according to the American
Foundation for the Blind's 2015 report, approximately 400,000
visually impaired persons live in the State of New York.

STATE FARM: Loses Bid to Dismiss MAO-MSO Recovery's SAC
-------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the Central District of
Illinois, Peoria Division, denied Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the
Second Amended Complaint in the case captioned MAO-MSO RECOVERY II,
LLC, MSP RECOVERY LLC, MSP RECOVERY CLAIMS, SERIES LLC, and MSPA
CLAIMS 1, LLC, Plaintiffs, v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE
INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent, Case No. 1:17-cv-01537-JBM-JEH (C.D.
Ill.).

The Plaintiffs in this case are not MAOs. Rather, they allege they
have been assigned rights of recovery under the MSP provisions by
numerous MAOs, first-tier entities and downstream entities. The
Medicare beneficiaries were involved in car accidents that required
medical services.  The Plaintiffs contend that State Farm, as the
primary payer, failed to pay for the medical services, so the
assignor-MAOs issued conditional payment. The Plaintiffs aver that
State Farm has failed to reimburse the assignor-MAOs for
conditional payments made, giving rise to liability under Section
1395y(b)(3)(A). The Plaintiffs also bring one count for breach of
contract under 42 C.F.R. Section 411.24(e).

Section 1395y(b)(3)(A) of the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP)
provisions provides for a private cause of action against primary
payers who do not reimburse secondary payers for conditional
payments made to Medicare beneficiaries.

State Farm's Challenge to Subject Matter Jurisdiction Under
12(b)(1)

The plaintiff must have (1) suffered an injury in fact, (2) that is
fairly traceable to the challenged conduct of the defendant, and
(3) that is likely to be redressed by a favorable judicial
decision.

State Farm brings a factual challenge to standing, arguing that
Plaintiffs do not in fact hold valid assignments from MAOs.

Plaintiffs Have Sufficiently Shown They Hold a Valid Assignment

State Farm argues that the Plaintiffs do not hold valid assignments
to pursue rights of recovery under the MSP provisions.

The Plaintiffs provided a document titled Recovery Agreement
entered into between SummaCare and Plaintiff MSP Recovery, LLC. The
Plaintiffs also provided a document titled La Ley Recovery Systems
Agreement (LLR Agreement) entered into between FHP and La Ley
Recovery on April 15, 2014. State Farm argues that the LLR
Agreement is not an assignment, but just a contingency-fee
agreement.

State Farm contends that the allegations concerning approval are
vague and insufficient to survive dismissal.

The Court disagrees; allegations of approval are enough to
plausibly infer that MSPA Claims 1, LLC, holds a valid assignment
at this stage.

The Plaintiffs attached a document titled Settlement Agreement
entered into on June 1, 2016, between La Ley Recovery and MSPA
Claims 1, LLC (and two of the other Plaintiffs) on the one side and
FHP's receiver on the other side. The Settlement Agreement refers
to the LLR Agreement stating: on April 15, 2014, La Ley entered
into a Cost Recovery Agreement with FHP under which FHP assigned
all rights, title and interest held by FHCP to certain recoveries
related to accidents or incidents recoverable pursuant to the MSP
Provisions and other state/federal laws.

The Settlement Agreement also appears to approve the subsequent
MSPA Assignment: the Assigned Claims may be assigned by and among
any of the companies collectively referred herein as La Ley and the
Receiver acknowledges that any assignment of the rights described
hereunder by or among those companies collectively referred to as
La Ley occurring prior to the execution of this Settlement
Agreement shall be valid and enforceable. La Ley as used throughout
the Settlement Agreement referred to La Ley Recovery, MSPA Claims
1, LLC, MSP Recovery LLC, and MSP Recovery Services, LLC.

Thus, the Plaintiffs have provided sufficient documentation at this
juncture to show that MSPA Claims 1, LLC, holds a valid
assignment.

Plaintiffs Have Sufficiently Shown That MSPA Claims 1, LLC,
Sustained an Injury Through Exemplar Beneficiary O.D.

State Farm argues that this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction
because, even if Plaintiffs have valid assignments, they have
suffered no injury with regards to the exemplar beneficiaries.

The ultimate question in this case is whether State Farm failed to
reimburse the Plaintiffs' assignors for conditional payments made.
The Plaintiffs allege that MSPA Claims 1, LLC's assignor paid for
O.D.'s expenses as well, but was not reimbursed. If that is true,
MSPA Claims 1, LLC, is entitled to reimbursement, regardless of
whether State Farm also paid. Indeed, 42 C.F.R. Section 411.24(i)
states that the primary payer must reimburse Medicare even though
it has already reimbursed the beneficiary or other party. The
Richardson declaration does not create a factual dispute about
jurisdiction warranting the Plaintiffs to provide more evidence at
this juncture.

State Farm's Challenge to Plaintiffs' Allegations Under Rule
12(b)(6)

State Farm argues that the Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint
fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under
Federal Rule of Procedure 12(b)(6)

To survive a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff's complaint must
contain sufficient detail to give defendant notice of the claim,
and the allegations must plausibly suggest that the plaintiff has a
right to relief, raising that possibility above a speculative
level.

Count I: Plaintiffs Have Sufficiently Alleged Claims Under Section
1395y(b)(3)(A)

State Farm argues that the Second Amended Complaint must allege
that State Farm was notified of its failure to pay, but does not
cite to any persuasive authority for that proposition. In any
event, the Second Amended Complaint does allege that the Plaintiffs
have notified the Defendant of instances wherein the Defendant, as
a primary payer, failed to reimburse the Assignors for payments
made on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries for medical items and
services.

Furthermore, it bears noting that Richardson stated in his
declaration that MSP Recovery sent a letter directly to State Farm
and demanded information regarding the OD claim in order to avoid
litigation. Richardson further declared that State Farm responded
that O.D.'s benefits were exhausted. Thus, it is questionable
whether State Farm can claim a lack of notice. Other district
courts have held that similar allegations to the ones here are
sufficient to state a claim for relief. The level of factual
particularity demanded by State Farm at the pleading stage all but
asks Plaintiffs to prove their case, rather than simply plead their
claims.

Count II: 42 C.F.R. Section 411.24(e) Can Be Enforced

Count II of the Second Amended Complaint is a stand-alone breach of
contract claim pursuant to 42 C.F.R. Section 411.24(e). The
Plaintiffs allege that their assignors are subrogated the right to
recover primary payment from State Farm for State Farm's breach of
contract with their insured, pursuant to 42 C.F.R. Section 411.26.

Here, there is no doubt that Section 411.24, titled Recovery of
conditional payments, effectuates the private cause of action under
the MSP. Subsections (a) and (b) explain that the filing of a
Medicare claim constitutes an express authorization for any entity
that possesses information pertinent to the claim to release that
information to CMS and the time frame for recovering conditional
payments. Section 411.24(a)-(b). Subsection (c) explains the amount
of recovery CMS is entitled to when legal action is and is not
required in order to recover.

Furthermore, subsection (f) delineates specific claim-filing
requirements, and subsection (i) provides for special rules in
cases dealing with insurance settlements and disputed claims under
insurance plans.  

As such, the Court declines to dismiss Count II of the Plaintiffs'
Second Amended Complaint.
State Farm's Motion to Dismiss is denied.

STATE FARM: Use of Term "MMI" Not Consistent with WAC Terms
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of Washington, En Banc, answered in the
affirmative and in the negative two certified questions of law in
the case captioned CERTIFICATION FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON IN BRETT DURANT, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v.
STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, a foreign
automobile insurance company, Defendant, No. 94771-6 (Wash.).

The federal district court has asked this court to answer two
certified questions concerning whether an insurer's use of a
maximum medical improvement (MMI) provision violates WAC
284-30-395(1).

This case began with an auto policy claim by plaintiff Brett
Durant. Durant has been a policyholder with State Farm Mutual
Automobile Insurance Company since 1995 and carried $35,000 in
personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. On July 21, 2012, Durant
was injured in a motor vehicle accident. He opened a PIP claim with
State Farm. State Farm then sent him a coverage letter that stated:
"The policy provides coverage for reasonable and necessary medical
expenses that are incurred within three (3) years of the accident.
Medical services must also be essential in achieving maximum
medical improvement for the injury you sustained in the accident."

The district court granted Durant's motion to certify the following
two questions to the state Supreme Court:

   1. Does an insurer violate WAC 284-30-395(1)(a) or (b) if that
insurer denies, limits, or terminates an insured's medical or
hospital benefits claim based on a finding of maximum medical
improvement?

   2. Is the term maximum medical improvement consistent with the
definition of reasonable or necessary as those terms appear in WAC
284-30-395(1)?

First Certified Question: Does State Farm's limitation of medical
claims based on its MMI provision violate WAC 284-30-395(1)(a) or
(b)?

The Court agrees.

The Court begins with the plain language of the regulation. WAC
284-30-395(1) provides in relevant part: "(1) Within a reasonable
time after receipt of actual notice of an insured's intent to file
a personal injury protection medical and hospital benefits claim,
and in every case prior to denying, limiting, or terminating an
insured's medical and hospital benefits, and insurer shall provide
an insured with a written explanation of the coverage provided by
the policy, including a notice that the insurer may deny, limit, or
terminate benefits if the insurer determines that the medical and
hospital services: (a) Are not reasonable; (b) Are not necessary;
(c) Are not related to the accident; or (d) Are not incurred within
three years of the automobile accident."

These are the only grounds for denial, limitation, or termination
of medical and hospital services permitted pursuant to RCW
48.22.005(7), 48.22.095, or 48.22.100.

As presented, Reasonable Medical Expenses are defined as fees
incurred for necessary medical services that are rendered by a
medical provider and are essential in achieving maximum medical
improvement for the bodily injury sustained in the accident.

Because the MMI provision is stated conjunctively, it is not a
definition of necessary but is instead a separate and additional
prerequisite under the policy for payment of medical expenses.
Moreover, the policy's introductory provisions explain that defined
words and phrases contained in the policy are printed in boldface
italics.

In the reasonable medical expenses quoted passage, necessary is not
so designated. Thus, the plain language of the auto insurance
policy does not support State Farm's assertion that its MMI
provision defines the term necessary.

Second Certified Question: Is the term maximum medical improvement
(mmi) consistent with the definition of reasonable or necessary as
those terms appear in WAC 284-30-395(1)?

The Court answers this certified question no.

Maximum Medical Improvement in workers' compensation under state
law is closely related to the concept of cure in the maintenance
and cure doctrine applicable to injured seamen under federal
maritime law. State Farm agrees that the maximum medical cure
standard in maritime law is the equivalent of MMI, and states that
under the 'maximum medical cure' standard, a ship owner's
obligation to pay an injured seaman's medical bills ends when he or
she has reached a point where future treatment will merely relieve
pain and suffering but not otherwise improve the seaman's physical
condition. But State Farm points to nothing in Washington's PIP
statutes and regulations, or the underlying public policy, that
suggests that required payment for medical services will not
include treatment that will merely relieve pain and suffering but
not otherwise improve a patient's physical condition.

In sum, State Farm's analogizing to workers' compensation and
maritime law is unconvincing.

For these reasons, State Farm's use of the term MMI is not
consistent with the common meaning of reasonable and necessary as
those terms appear in WAC 284-30-395(1), and the state Supreme
Court answers the second certified question no.

The Court answers the first certified question yes. An insurer
violates WAC 284-30-395(1)(a) or (b) if that insurer denies,
limits, or terminates an insured's medical or hospital benefits
claim based on a finding of MMI.

The answer the second certified question as follows: under the
circumstances of this case, the term MMI is not consistent with the
terms reasonable or necessary as those terms appear in WAC
284-30-395(1).

TAHOE RESOURCES: Court Grants K. Nguyen's Lead Plaintiff Bid
------------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the District of Nevada granted
Movant Kevin Nguyen's Motion for Appointment of Counsel and for
Appointment of Lead Plaintiff in the case captioned OUSSAMA
ATTIGUI, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF THOSE SIMILARLY SITUATED,
Plaintiff, v. TAHOE RESOURCES, INC., et al., Defendants. Case No.
2:17-cv-01868-RFB-NJK. (D. Nev.)

Plaintiff Oussama Attigui (Attigui) filed a class action Complaint
with Jury Demand against the Defendants, alleging (1) violations of
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Securities
Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, against all the Defendants.

The Court finds that Nguyen is the presumptively most adequate
plaintiff. In his Motion, he contends that he lost $1,822,156.30 as
a result of the Defendants' alleged securities violations. He
further argues that his claims are typical of the class because he
suffered losses on his investment in Tahoe Resources as a result of
the allegedly false and misleading statements described in the
Complaint, and that he will adequately protect the interests of the
class given his significant stake in the litigation and his conduct
to date in prosecuting the litigation.

TOUCHSTONE GOLF: Chase Clark Sues over Ladies' Days Promotions
--------------------------------------------------------------
CHASE B. CLARK, an individual, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, v. TOUCHSTONE GOLF, LLC, d/b/a
RIVERWALK GOLF CLUB; and DOES 1 through 100, Inclusive, the
Defendant, Case No. 37-2018-00034480-CU-CR-CTL (Cal. Super. Ct.,
July 11, 2018), seeks statutory damages, interest, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs, and other equitable and injunctive
relief to stop Defendant from engaging in further unequal treatment
of its patrons based on gender.

According to the complaint, the Defendant has held Ladies' Days
promotions several times per month during the period of at least
January 2015 through at least November 2016. Riverwalk's Ladies'
Days promotions were held on either Wednesdays and/or Thursdays and
offered accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges or
services based on gender, thus treating male and female individuals
unequally based solely on their gender. During the Ladies' Days
promotions, only female patrons were offered and able to take
advantage of specific preferable tee times; merchandise, food and
beverage discounts; reduced golf cart fees; and contests and
prizes. Accordingly, based on their gender, male patrons were
denied certain tee times, golf cart discounts, food and beverage
discounts, savings on merchandise and the opportunity to
participate in contests and receive prizes. By discriminating
against certain individuals based on gender, and denying them equal
accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services,
Defendant has violated California law.

VAN RU CREDIT: Wood Sues over Debt Collection Practices
-------------------------------------------------------
ELIZABETH WOOD, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiffs, v. VAN RU CREDIT CORPORATION, COLONY
BRANDS INC., and SILVER STAR BRANDS INC., the Defendants, Case No.
2:18-cv-01056-DEJ (E.D. Wisc., July 10, 2018), seeks redress for
Defendant's debt collection practices that violate the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act.

According to complaint, on or about December 12, 2017, Van Ru
mailed a debt collection letter to Wood regarding alleged debt owed
to "Easy Comforts."  The debt that Defendant Van Ru attempted to
collect, sent on or about December 12, 2017, is $105.84 but, mailed
on or about December 4, 2017, informed Plaintiff that the "Minimum
Payment Due" was $79.92, with a "Payment Due Date" of December 31,
2017. Looking together, the unsophisticated consumer would be
confused as to the amount Van Ru was collecting: the minimum
payment due, $79.92, or the entire balance of the account,
$105.84.

Van Ru considers itself a leader in the accounts receivable
industry for more than 60 years.[BN]

WALLGREENS BOOTS: Merit Discovery Ongoing in Illinois Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarterly
period ended May 31, 2018, that merit discovery is ongoing in the
securities class action suit filed in the Northern District of
Illinois.

On April 10, 2015, a putative shareholder filed a securities class
action in federal court in the Northern District of Illinois
against Walgreen Co. and certain former officers of Walgreen Co.
The action asserts claims for violation of the federal securities
laws arising out of certain public statements the Company made
regarding its former fiscal 2016 goals. On June 16, 2015, the Court
entered an order appointing a lead plaintiff.

Pursuant to the Court's order, lead plaintiff filed an amended
complaint on August 17, 2015, and defendants moved to dismiss the
amended complaint on October 16, 2015. Lead plaintiff filed a
response to the motion to dismiss on December 22, 2015, and
defendants filed a reply in support of the motion on February 5,
2016. On September 30, 2016, the Court issued an order granting in
part and denying in part defendants' motion to dismiss. Defendants
filed their answer to the amended complaint on November 4, 2016 and
filed an amended answer on January 16, 2017.

Plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification on April 21,
2017.  Plaintiffs' motion was granted on March 29, 2018.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. operates as a pharmacy-led health
and wellbeing company. It operates through three segments: Retail
Pharmacy USA, Retail Pharmacy International, and Pharmaceutical
Wholesale. The company is based in Deerfield, Illinois.


WALLGREENS BOOTS: Rite Aid Merger-Related Suit Still Ongoing
------------------------------------------------------------
Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2018, for
the quarterly period ended May 31, 2018, that the company continues
to defend itself in a merger related suit initiated by purported
Rite Aid stockholders.

As of August 31, 2017, the Company was aware of two putative class
action lawsuits filed by purported Rite Aid stockholders against
Rite Aid and its board of directors, Walgreens Boots Alliance and
Victoria Merger Sub, Inc. for claims arising out of the
transactions contemplated by the original Merger Agreement (prior
to its amendment on January 29, 2017) (such transactions, the "Rite
Aid Transactions").

One Rite Aid action was filed in the State of Pennsylvania in the
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County (the "Pennsylvania
action"), and one action was filed in the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (the "federal
action").

The Pennsylvania action primarily alleged that the Rite Aid board
of directors breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the
Rite Aid Transactions by, among other things, agreeing to an unfair
and inadequate price, agreeing to deal protection devices that
preclude other bidders from making successful competing offers for
Rite Aid, and failing to disclose all allegedly material
information concerning the proposed merger, and also alleged that
Walgreens Boots Alliance and Victoria Merger Sub, Inc. aided and
abetted these alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.

The federal action alleged, among other things, that Rite Aid and
its board of directors disseminated an allegedly false and
misleading proxy statement in connection with the Rite Aid
Transactions. The plaintiffs in the federal action also filed a
motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the Rite Aid
shareholder vote relating to the Rite Aid Transactions. That motion
was denied and plaintiffs agreed to stay the litigation until after
the Rite Aid Transactions closed.

On March 17, 2017, plaintiffs moved to lift the stay to allow
plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. On August 4, 2017, that
motion was granted for the limited purpose of allowing plaintiffs
to file a motion seeking leave to amend their complaint in light of
the termination of the Merger Agreement. Plaintiffs filed such a
motion on September 22, 2017. The Company filed its response on
October 6, 2017.

The Court granted the motion on November 27, 2017, ordering the
plaintiffs to file their amended complaint within 10 business days.
Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on December 11, 2017.
Pursuant to a briefing schedule set by the Court, the Company filed
a motion to dismiss on February 16, 2018. Plaintiffs filed their
response brief on May 1, 2018 and reply briefs were filed on June
7, 2018.

and wellbeing company. It operates through three segments: Retail

WARRANTECH CORP: Jett Sues Over Deceptive Marketing/Sale of ESPs
----------------------------------------------------------------
AMY JETT, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. WARRANTECH CORPORATION and AMT WARRANTY CORPORATION,
Case No. 3:18-cv-01366 (S.D. Ill., July 9, 2018), arises from the
Defendants' alleged unfair, deceptive, and unlawful business
practices with respect to the advertising, marketing, and sales of
warranty plans known as extended service plans ("ESPs").

Despite the express representations, promises and contractual
obligations, the Defendants routinely and uniformly fail to provide
purchasers any benefits or service under the plans when products
fail during the original manufacturer's warranty, the Plaintiff
alleges.

Warrantech Corporation is a Delaware corporation with its principal
place of business in Bedford, Texas.  Warrantech provides extended
service plans (ESPs) and warranty programs for retailers, dealers,
distributors, and manufacturers in numerous consumer and automotive
markets.  Warrantech is a subsidiary of AmTrust Financial Services,

WELLS FARGO: 9th Circuit Appeal Filed in Crooks FCRA Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff Taneesha Crooks filed an appeal from a court ruling in
the lawsuit styled as Taneesha Crooks v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
Case No. 3:18-cv-00219-DMS-JLB, in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of California, San Diego.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the lawsuit
seeks special, general, compensatory, punitive and statutory
damages, costs of this action, including reasonable allowance for
the Plaintiff's attorneys' and experts' fees and such other and
further relief under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

In or around 2006, the Plaintiff purchased a vehicle via financing.
The Plaintiff filed for bankruptcy on October 20, 2016, where said
debt was included where Crooks received a discharge order.  Wells
Fargo did not file any proceedings to declare its debt
"non-dischargeable" and also did not request relief from the
"automatic stay" while the Plaintiff's Bankruptcy was pending to
pursue the Plaintiff on any personal liability for any of the
underlying debt.

Two months after the discharge, the Defendant submitted an
unauthorized account review credit report inquiry to a credit
reporting agency despite having no justifiable reason to pull
Crooks' credit report, says the complaint.

The appellate case is captioned as Taneesha Crooks v. Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., Case No. 18-55885, in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The briefing schedule in the Appellate Case is set as follows:

   -- Appellant Taneesha Crooks' opening brief is due on
      August 31, 2018;

   -- Appellee Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s answering brief is due on

   -- Appellant's optional reply brief is due 21 days after
      service of the answering brief.[BN]

WELLS FARGO: Cochran Appeals Ruling in Jabbari Suit to 9th Cir.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Objector Barbara Cochran filed an appeal from a court ruling in the
lawsuit entitled Shahriar Jabbari, et al. v. Wells Fargo & Company,
et al., Case No. 3:15-cv-02159-VC, in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of California, San Francisco.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, Wells Fargo
will pay $142 million to settle class action claims that it
secretly opened credit cards and unauthorized accounts in
customers' names going back to 2002.

The bank was hit hard by the discovery that its staff opened
millions of bank accounts and credit cards for customers without
their consent in an effort to meet internal sales goals.

Lead Plaintiff Shahriar Jabbari sued Wells Fargo in May 2015,
claiming it encouraged employees to use fraudulent and deceptive
tactics to persuade customers to open fee-generating accounts by
misrepresenting them or not informing them at all.

The appellate case is captioned as Shahriar Jabbari, et al. v.
Wells Fargo & Company, et al., Case No. 18-16223, in the United
States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The briefing schedule in the Appellate Case is set as follows:

   -- Transcript must be ordered by July 30, 2018;

WERNER ENTERPRISES: Court Consolidates Wage & Hour Suits
--------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska
granted Defendants' Motion to Consolidate Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 42 the cases captioned EZEQUIEL OLIVARES ABARCA, ALFREDO ALESNA
JR., DAVID CAGLE, STEPHEN L. DAVIS, FRANK EADS, and KENNETH J.
SURMAN, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated,
Plaintiffs, v. WERNER ENTERPRISES, INC., DRIVERS MANAGEMENT, LLC,
and DOES 1-100, inclusive, Defendants; WILLIAM SMITH, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, and on behalf of the
general public, Plaintiff, v. WERNER ENTERPRISES, INC., d/b/a C.L.
WERNER, INC., a corporation, and DOES 1-100, inclusive, Defendants;
and BRIAN VESTER and JOEL MORALES, individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. WERNER ENTERPRISES,
INC., and DRIVERS MANAGEMENT, LLC; Defendants, Nos. 8:14CV319,
8:15CV287, 8:17CV145 (D. Nev.).

After review of the filings in the cases, the Court concludes the
Vester action contains common issues of law and fact as the Abarca
and Smith cases. The putative class action claims by the Vester
plaintiffs against the Defendants for violations of California wage
and labor laws are largely the same as those alleged in the Abarca
and Smith cases. Additionally, the Court has certified a California
class in the Abarca and Smith cases that appears to encompass the
Vester plaintiffs' claims. Consolidation will conserve time and
resources of the parties and of the Court. Accordingly, the Court
will grant the Defendants' motion and consolidate all of the cases
for purposes of discovery and trial.

Some time prior to August 4, 2017, an obligation was allegedly
incurred by Taylor out of a transaction involving an alleged debt

to avoid the threat of pending legal action in lieu of exercising
her right to validate or dispute the debt. [BN]
