ACUITY BRANDS: Bid to Dismiss Georgia Securities Suit Underway
--------------------------------------------------------------
Acuity Brands, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended February 28, 2019, 2018, that a motion to
dismiss in the case entitled, In re Acuity Brands, Inc. Securities
Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-02140-MHC, has been filed.

On January 3, 2018, a shareholder filed a class action complaint in
the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
against the Company and certain of its officers on behalf of all
persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the company's stock
between June 29, 2016 and April 3, 2017.

On February 20, 2018, a different shareholder filed a second class
action complaint in the same venue against the same parties on
behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the
company's common stock between October 15, 2015 and April 3, 2017.
The cases were transferred on April 30, 2018, to the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and
subsequently were consolidated as In re Acuity Brands, Inc.
Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-02140-MHC (N.D.
Ga.).

On October 5, 2018, the court appointed lead plaintiff filed a
consolidated amended class action complaint (the "Consolidated
Complaint"), which supersedes the initial complaints.

The Consolidated Complaint is brought on behalf of all persons who
purchased our common stock between October 7, 2015 and April 3,
2017 and alleges that the Company and certain of its current
officers and one former executive violated the federal securities
laws by making false or misleading statements and/or omitting to
disclose material adverse facts that (i) concealed known trends
negatively impacting sales of the Company's products and (ii)
overstated our ability to achieve profitable sales growth.

The plaintiffs seek class certification, unspecified monetary
damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

Acuity Brands said, "We dispute the allegations and intend to
vigorously defend against the claims in the complaints. We have
filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint."

Acuity Brands, Inc. provides lighting and building management
solutions and services for commercial, institutional, industrial,
infrastructure, and residential applications in North America and
internationally. Acuity Brands, Inc. was founded in 2001 and is
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.


AETNA INC: Court Denies Peters' Class Certification Bid
-------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Martin Reidinger denied the Plaintiff's Motion for Class
Certification in the lawsuit captioned SANDRA M. PETERS, on behalf
of herself and all others similarly situated v. AETNA INC., AETNA
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, and OPTUMHEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS, INC., Case
No. 1:15-cv-00109-MR (W.D.N.C.).

On June 12, 2015, the Plaintiff Sandra M. Peters filed this
putative class action against the Defendants asserting claims
pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  She
contends that the Aetna-Optum arrangement wrongfully allowed Optum
to "bury" its administrative fees in claims, and that Aetna misled
her by representing these administrative fees as medical expenses.

The Plaintiff sought to represent two classes:

   (1) Plan Claim Class:

       All participants or beneficiaries of self-insured ERISA
       health insurance plans administered by Aetna for which
       plan responsibility for a claim was assessed using an
       agreed rate between Optum and Aetna that exceeded the
       provider's contracted rate with Optum for the treatment
       provided; and

   (2) Member Claim Class:

       All participants or beneficiaries of ERISA health
       insurance plans insured or administered by Aetna for whom
       coinsurance responsibility for a claim was assessed using
       an agreed rate between Optum and Aetna that exceeded the
       provider's contracted rate with Optum for the treatment
       provided.

In his memorandum of decision and order, Judge Reidinger concludes
that the Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that there exists a
class of participants, who have actually been harmed by the
Aetna-Optum arrangement.  Judge Reidinger notes that the absence of
proof of injury is not the only shortcoming in the Plaintiff's
evidence.

Judge Reidinger also opines that the Plaintiff's flawed methodology
for determining class membership also reflects a lack of
commonality among the putative class members.  "A proposed class
challenging conduct that did not harm--and in fact benefitted--some
proposed class members fails to establish the commonality required
for certification," Judge Reidinger adds.[CC]



AIR EVAC EMS: Hundley's Bid to Certify Class Denied as Moot
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. John T. Copenhaver, Jr., denied as moot the Plaintiff's
motion for class certification in the lawsuit entitled CONNIE R.
HUNDLEY, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. AIR EVAC EMS, INC., d/b/a AirMedCare Network; MED-TRANS
CORPORATION; and MATTHEW ELLIS, Case No. 2:16-cv-12428 (S.D.W.
Va.).

The Plaintiff seeks to represent a class defined as:

    "All West Virginia consumers who purchased or renewed a
     membership from Defendant Air Evac from July 25, 2012 to the
     date of certification."

Ms. Hundley does not seek class certification for all her claims,
but only that under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and
Protection Act.

According to its memorandum opinion and order, the Court entered a
memorandum opinion and order in response to the Defendants' motions
to dismiss, filed December 29, 2016, and February 2, 2017.  The
Court therein dismissed the Plaintiff's WVCCPA claim.  Accordingly,
the claim for which the Plaintiff seeks to certify her class has
been dismissed and her motion is moot.[CC]


ALBERTSON'S LLC: Asks Court to Deny Dorfman's Class Cert. Bid
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Defendant in the lawsuit entitled ROBERT DORFMAN, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. ALBERTSON'S, LLC,
a Delaware corporation, doing business in California as SAV-ON
PHARMACY, Case No. 1:18-cv-00094-EJL (D. Idaho), files with the
Court its second motion to deny class certification pursuant to
Rule 23(C)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Albertsons moves the Court (i) to deny class certification, and
(ii) to award to Albertsons all other relief that it deems
equitable and just.[CC]

ALLEGIANT AIR: Certification of Class Sought in Douglas Suit
------------------------------------------------------------
The Plaintiff in the lawsuit captioned Debra M. Douglas, On behalf
of herself and all others similarly situated v. Allegiant Air, LLC,
Case No. 1:18-cv-01064-JL (D.N.H.), asks the Court to certify this
class:

     All natural persons whose personally identifiable
     information in the form of email addresses, were disclosed
     in two group emails from Allegiant dated November 8, and
     November 11, 2018.

Ms. Douglas also asks the Court to appoint her to serve as class
representative, to appoint her counsel as class counsel, and to
direct her to submit a proposed notice plan and form of notice
within a reasonable time.

The lawsuit is brought for damages, and other legal and equitable
remedies, resulting from the actions of Allegiant in sending a
group e-mail on November 8, 2018, announcing a new Emotional
Support Service or Psychiatric Service Animal policy.  The e-mail
contained over 400 e-mail addresses with a majority of the
addresses including the name of the airline passenger
involved.[CC]

ALLIED UNIVERSAL: Ct. Denies Prelim. OK of $2.5MM Douglas Suit Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara ruled that the Court cannot
preliminarily approve in its current structure the settlement
agreement in the lawsuit styled KIRK DOUGLAS, individually and on
behalf of all others similarly situated v. ALLIED UNIVERSAL
SECURITY SERVICES, ALLIED BARTON SECURITY SERVICES LLC, ALLIED
SECURITY HOLDINGS LLC, Case No. 17-CV-6093-SJB (E.D.N.Y.).

Under the proposed settlement, Allied would pay a gross settlement
amount of $2,520,000, including $740,000 in attorney's fees,
$70,000 in costs, a $20,000 service award for Douglas, and $52,000
in employer-side taxes, with a net settlement amount of
$1,638,000.

On October 18, 2017, Plaintiff Kirk Douglas brought this action, on
behalf of himself and others similarly situated, against the
Defendants alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
New York Labor Law for failure to pay minimum and overtime wages.
On November 30, 2018, Douglas filed an unopposed motion for class
and collective certification and preliminary approval of a
settlement agreement reached with Allied.

According to the order, the proposed settlement is a hybrid class
and collective action resolution.  A FLSA collective would cover
employees who worked for Allied at JFK Airport between October 18,
2014 and the present, while a NYLL class would cover employees who
worked there between September 1, 2013 and the present.

In his order, Judge Bulsara states that the proposed settlement
ignores the special complexities attendant to approval of a
settlement of FLSA claims in this Circuit--complexities resulting
from the Second Circuit's decision in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake
House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015).

The Court first alerted the parties to these issues by Order dated
December 20, 2018, after the parties had submitted a motion seeking
preliminary approval of the settlement, but failed to cite, let
alone address, Cheeks, Judge Bulsara notes.  He adds that the
parties' additional submissions have not resolved the various
issues that are present in the agreement, and as a result, the
Court cannot approve the proposed settlement.

Among other things, Judge Bulsara opines that the parties have
failed to provide the Court sufficient information to conduct a
Cheeks review of the proposed settlement.  He notes that the Court
lacks information on the potential or actual wage rate, the hours
worked, or the number of members of the collective.  He adds that
other components of the Cheeks review cannot be completed--namely,
an evaluation of the litigation risks and the reasonableness of
attorney's fees and costs.

Judge Bulsara directs the parties to provide a revised settlement
agreement by April 26, 2019, along with a memorandum of law that
explains the propriety of the new proposed settlement consistent
with his Order.[CC]


ALSCO INC: Rodrigues Seeks Regular and OT Wages for Laundry Staff
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RICARDO A. RODRIGUES and other similarly-situated individuals, the
Plaintiff(s), v. ALSCO INC., the Defendant, Case No.
8:19-cv-00709-EAK-AEP (M.D. Fla., March 22, 2019), seeks to recover
money damages for unpaid regular and overtime wages, as well as
retaliation by the Defendant.

The Defendant employed the Plaintiff as a non-exempted full-time
laundry employee, from October 26, 2018, to February 26, 2019, or
17 weeks plus 4 days. The Plaintiff had duties as a regular
commercial laundry employee including receiving sorting, washing,
drying, ironing, repairing work, folding, packing etc. The
Plaintiff main duty consisted on manual repetitive non-exempted
work. While employed by the Defendant, Plaintiff worked more than
40 hours every week, but he was not paid for overtime hours under
the Fair Labor Standards Act.  The Plaintiff completed 63.5 hours
per week but was unable to take bona-fide lunch periods.

The Plaintiff was paid a salary of $1,100.00 weekly, with checks
and paystubs that did not show the real number of hours worked. The
Plaintiff worked 63.5 hours weekly, but he was not paid for
overtime hours. The Plaintiff did not clock in and out, but
Defendant was able to track the hours worked by him. Therefore, the
Defendant willfully failed to pay Plaintiff overtime at the rate of
time and a half his regular rate, for every hour that he worked in
excess of 40, in violation of the FLSA.

The Defendant is a linen service company that provides commercial
linen and uniforms rental and laundry services.[BN]

AMAZON.COM: Judge Set to Hear Class Action on April 18
------------------------------------------------------
Fortune's Josh Eidelson and Sarah Frier, and Bloomberg report that
Facebook said it will make major changes to its rules for
advertisers in order to settle a string of lawsuits alleging its
platform enables discrimination in housing, credit and employment.

"Getting this right is deeply important to me and all of us at
Facebook," Sheryl Sandberg, the company's chief operating officer,
said in a blog post to be published on March 19. The social media
platform called the settlement "historic" and expressed gratitude
to the National Fair Housing Alliance and the American Civil
Liberties Union, two of the groups that sued it in the first place.
"Today's changes mark an important step in our broader effort to
prevent discrimination and promote fairness and inclusion on
Facebook."

The partial resolution of long-running litigation over
discriminatory ad strategies is a rare bit of good news for the
embattled company. The Menlo Park, California-based internet giant,
criticized for years about privacy breaches, hate speech and its
use by Russia and others to interfere with elections, has been
under intense scrutiny when an alleged gunman livestreamed the mass
murder of 50 people in Christchurch, New Zealand.

As part of the settlement, Facebook will no longer allow housing,
employment or credit ads to be targeted to particular users by age,
gender or zip codes. Facebook said it also won't consider those
categories when it creates "Lookalike" audiences -- based on a
profile of a company's current employees or consumers -- as a
target for a particular ad.

Companies using Facebook to run housing, employment or credit ads
will have to certify compliance with anti-discrimination laws. The
ads will be vetted by Facebook for compliance, using both human
staff and automation, the company said. People perusing the
platform's ads for housing opportunities will be able to look up
those targeted at users around the country -- even if they're not
one of them.

"It's a huge deal," said ACLU senior staff attorney Galen Sherwin
of the settlement. "It will cause Facebook to make sweeping changes
to its platform."

Facebook said that, while the new restrictions may make it harder
for some advertisers to achieve their goals, it doesn't expect the
changes to have a significant impact on its own revenue. The
company said it still believes that advertising targeted at
specific demographics can be appropriate in some, unspecified
circumstances.

The settlement resolves three lawsuits and several Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission complaints over the social network's
advertising. As part of the accord, the company will pay around $5
million in legal fees and compensation to consumers and job-seekers
allegedly excluded from opportunities advertised on the platform.

Facebook said it will also study the potential for unintended bias
in its algorithms, and will meet with the plaintiff groups every
six months for the next three years to discuss implementation of
the changes. Those groups include the Communications Workers of
America (CWA) union as well as civil rights and housing
organizations.

The deal doesn't resolve a lawsuit filed by the CWA and a group of
job-seekers against Amazon.com, T-Mobile and hundreds of other
employers and employment agencies accused of using Facebook's tools
to filter out older job-hunters. On April 17, a federal judge in
San Jose, California, is slated to hear arguments on whether to let
that case proceed as a class action.

"It's critically important that all of the companies that have
misused Facebook's advertising tools in the past be held
accountable," said attorney Peter Romer-Friedman, who represents
plaintiffs in the settling cases, the proposed class action and
dozens of pending EEOC claims. "Wherever they advertise, whether
it's a hiring hall or a job fair or through a server in Silicon
Valley, it's got to be equal. We want every company to agree to
principles of equality for the future." [GN]

seeks to recover compensable damages caused by violations of
Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Arlo designs and markets intelligent internet-connected products
for homes and businesses that provide security and safety. On
August 6, 2018, Arlo went public and issued 11,747,250 shares of

On December 3, 2018, Arlo revealed that the release of its newest
product, the Arlo Ultra security camera, would be delayed until
after the holiday season due to a quality issue with the battery
and reduced its fourth quarter 2018 earnings guidance. On this
news, the price of Arlo common shares declined approximately 23%
from the previous trading day to $9.28 per share on December 3,
2018, 42% below the IPO price. For the full year 2018, Arlo
reported a net loss of $68.4 million compared to a profit of $6.5
million for 2017. On this news, Arlo's stock price plummeted 49%,
from a closing price of $7.57 per share on February 5, 2019 to a
closing price of $3.86 per share on February 6, 2019, almost 76%
below the price at which over $187 million worth of Arlo common
shares had been sold to investors in the IPO just six months
prior.

Plaintiffs purchased or acquired Arlo common stock during the IPO
and lost substantially.[BN]

Tennessee Bank, N.A., FTN Financial Securities Corp., Goldman Sachs

Defendants, Case No. 19-cv-01704 (S.D. N.Y., February 22, 2019),
asserts claims for violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the
Clayton Act.

Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
unsecured bond issuances.

City of Birmingham Retirement and Relief System is a public pension
fund that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to
eligible civil service employees, elected officials and appointed
employees of the City of Birmingham, Alabama. It had transacted

result of an alleged conspiracy to fix the prices of the bonds.

Defendants allegedly charge inflated, supracompetitive prices for
newly issued bonds that they sold to investors after acquiring them
from the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation. [BN]

BANK OF AMERICA: Int'l. Assoc. Fund Sues Over FFB Price-Fixing
--------------------------------------------------------------
International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied
Workers Local No. 14 Pension and Health and Welfare Funds,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.; BARCLAYS BANK PLC; BARCLAYS
CAPITAL INC.; BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP.; CITIGROUP GLOBAL
MARKETS INC.; CREDIT SUISSE AG; CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC;
DEUTSCHE BANK AG; DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC.; FIRST TENNESSEE
BANK, N.A.; FTN FINANCIAL SECURITIES CORP.; GOLDMAN SACHS & CO.
LLC; JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.; J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES LLC; MERRILL
LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INC; AND UBS SECURITIES LLC,
Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-02661 (S.D. N.Y., March 25, 2019) is a
class action on behalf of all others similarly situated, pursuant
to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, against the
Defendants for their violations of law from at least January 1,
2009 through April 27, 2014.

The U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") Antitrust Division has
initiated a criminal investigation into price-fixing in the $550
billion secondary market for debt issued by Federal National
Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation("Freddie Mac"), ("FFBs").

The Defendants were the dominant Approved FFB Dealers in the
primary market for FFBs. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issue FFBs (the
"FFB Issuance Process") in the primary market to Approved FFB
Dealers who, in turn, establish the secondary market for certain
FFBs. The secondary market for FFBs operates as a massive
"over-the-counter" market. That is, FFBs do not trade on a national
exchange or transparent market. Rather, if an investor, such as
Plaintiff, wishes to purchase an FFB, the investor must generally
transact directly with an employee (i.e., a salesperson or trader)
of an Approved FFB Dealer, such as the Defendants, over a computer
network and/or by phone to receive a price quote.

The Defendants are alleged to have colluded to manipulate the
prices of FFBs in the secondary market in order to extract supra
competitive profits for themselves at the expense of Plaintiff and
members of the Class. The Defendants' alleged agreement to restrain
trade in the FFB market is one of many instances of unlawful
collusion and price-fixing in the various financial markets in
which many of these same Defendants purported to compete during the
Class Period. Plaintiffs believe that additional evidentiary
support for their allegations will be revealed after a reasonable
opportunity for discovery, particularly given the widespread and
secretive nature of many of the Defendants' anticompetitive conduct
and the DOJ's ongoing criminal investigation, says the complaint.

Plaintiff is a pension fund and health and welfare fund
administered on behalf of the International Association of Heat and
Frost Insulators and Allied Workers Local No. 14, with headquarters
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Defendants are the largest dealers in both the primary and
secondary markets for FFBs. Defendants sell FFBs to and buy FFBs
from investors, such as Plaintiff and members of the Class, in the
secondary market.[BN]

BAREBURGER GROUP: Rosenberg Says Organic Product Label Misleading
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Gil Rosenberg individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, vs. Bareburger Group LLC, the Defendant,
Case No. 1:19-cv-01634-DLI-SJB (E.D.N.Y., March 22, 2019), contends
that the Defendant deliberately promoted and continues to promote
its non-organic menu options in a deceptive way to obtain the
premium prices consumers are willing to pay, based on the fact that
some of the menu items are actually organic.

Bareburger Group LLC processes, co-mingles, transforms, labels,
advertises and sells prepared meals at its Bareburger restaurants.
The Products include burgers (meat and vegetable), chicken and
fried potatoes, represented as "Organic" at Defendant's
restaurants. The Products are available to consumers at no fewer
than 47 restaurants operated, franchised, controlled and managed by
defendant in states including New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, New
York, California and Florida.  The Products and Restaurants are
represented as "Organic" through the prominent placement of
"Organic" (i) next to the brand name, (ii) on store fronts, store
boards, signage and awnings, (iii) as a descriptor to its burgers,
salads, etc., (iv) menu sections, (v) digital and non-digital
marketing.Defendant is aware of the importance of labeling its
Products "Organic" -- stating that "It's better for you".

However, recent reports have cast doubt on the Defendant's
products. For example, the Defendant has described their beef
patties as "organic grass-fed burgers" that were made of a
proprietary "organic blend." Beef packages being delivered to the
Restaurants lacked the conspicuous "certified organic" seal of the
United States Department of Agriculture, according to the NY Times.
The Defendant's executives also have confirmed that approximately
75% to 80% of the burgers were organic, not 100%, contrary to the
labels.  The Defendant's "Organic" restaurants also have countless
non-organic ingredients including lamb and bison and mayonnaise and
tomatoes -- crucial condiments when it comes to dressing up a
purportedly organic burger.[BN]

BARTON HEALTHCARE: Guy Sues Over Unlawful Use of Biometric Data
---------------------------------------------------------------
Patricia Guy, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. BARTON HEALTHCARE, L.L.C., Defendant, Case
No. 2019CH04264 (Circuit Ct., Cook Cty., April 2, 2019) is brought
pursuant to the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure against Defendant,
its subsidiaries and affiliates, to redress and curtail Defendant's
unlawful collection, use, storage, and disclosure of Plaintiff's
sensitive and proprietary biometric data.

Illinois enacted the Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"),
specifically to regulate companies that collect, store and use
Illinois citizens' biometrics, such as fingerprints.
Notwithstanding the clear and unequivocal requirements of the law,
Defendant disregards their employees' statutorily protected privacy
rights and unlawfully collects, stores, disseminates, and uses
employees' biometric data in violation of BIPA, says the
complaint.

Plaintiff Patricia Guy worked for Barton as Certified Nursing
Assistant from September 2018 to January 2019.

Defendant Barton Healthcare, L.L.C, is a healthcare corporation
that operates supportive living and behavioral health facilities in
Chicagoland and Central Illinois.[BN]

v. Bravo Nader Inc (d/b/a Bravo! Nader), and Nader Edmond Gebrin,
Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-01796 (E.D. N.Y., March 28, 2019)
seeks unpaid minimum and overtime wages pursuant to the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA"), and for violations of the N.Y.
Labor Law ("NYLL"), including applicable liquidated damages,
interest, attorneys' fees and costs.

The Defendants maintained a policy and practice of requiring

per week without providing the minimum wage and overtime
compensation required by federal and state law and regulations,
says the complaint.

Plaintiff Escriu is a former employee of Defendants.

BRONX BAR: Does not Pay Overtime Wages, Cortes Suit Says
--------------------------------------------------------
Moises Cortes, on behalf of himself, and others similarly situated,
Plaintiff, v. The Bronx Bar and Grill, LLC, doing business as "Mott
Haven Bar & Grill", or any other business entity doing business as
"Mott Haven Bar & Grill", and Rosa Garcia, individually,
Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-02819 (S.D. N.Y., March 29, 2019)
pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law,
seeks to recover from the Defendants unpaid wages; unpaid overtime
compensation; unpaid "spread of hours" premium for each day he
worked in excess of 10 hours; liquidated damages and statutory
penalties pursuant to the New York Wage Theft Prevention Act;
prejudgment and post-judgment interest; and attorneys' fees and
costs.

The complaint asserts that Plaintiff was paid the same regular rate
for all hours worked, without an overtime premium for hours worked
in excess of 40 per week. Plaintiff did not receive tips in
connection with his employment.

The Defendants knowingly and willfully operated their business with
a policy of not paying Plaintiff and other similarly situated
employees either the FLSA overtime rate (of time and one-half), or
the New York State overtime rate (of time and one-half), in direct
violation of the FLSA and New York Labor Law and the supporting
federal and New York State Department of Labor Regulations, says
the complaint.

Plaintiff Moises Cortes was continuously employed by Defendants,
between January 2018 through December 2018.

Defendant, The Bronx Bar and Grill, LLC, dba "Mott Haven Bar &
Grill", is a domestic limited liability company.[BN]

CAMPING WORLD: Geis Hits Share Price Drop from Misleading Reports
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Geis, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. Camping World Holdings, Inc., Marcus A.
Lemonis, Thomas F. Wolfe, Andris A. Bal Tins, Brian P. Cassidy,
Jeffrey A. Marcus, K. Dillon Schickli, Stephen Adams, Goldman
Sachs, & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated,
Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC,
Stephens, Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Defendants,
Case No. 2019CH02404 (Ill. Cir, February 22, 2019), seeks redress
for violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1933.

Camping World specializes in selling recreational vehicles and
related services such as travel assist programs, emergency roadside
assistance, property and casualty insurance programs, extended
vehicle service contracts and vehicle financing and refinancing.
Camping World went public in a $261 million initial public
offering.

Geis alleges that Camping World's financial report failed to
disclose the lack of deferral of a portion of roadside assistance
policies sold with the sale of vehicles, that a portion of certain
vendor rebates was applied against the related inventory balances,
the intercompany allocation of certain revenue from new and used
vehicles to consumer services and plans was eliminated and
intercompany markup between costs was applied to new and used
vehicles.

On this news, the price of Camping World stock declined. Between
February 26, 2018 and March 2, 2018, the price of Camping World
Class A common stock dropped $4.63 per share, or more than 10%, on
abnormally high trading volume. Geis invested in Camping World
stock and lost upon correcting disclosures. [BN]

CONAGRA BRANDS: Court Dismisses Rosenblatt Class Action
-------------------------------------------------------
Conagra Brands, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended February 24, 2019, that the court has
dismissed the class action suit entitled, Rosenblatt v. Pinnacle
Foods Inc. et al.

On June 26, 2018, the company entered into a definitive merger
agreement with Pinnacle Foods Inc. ("Pinnacle") under which the
company will acquire all outstanding shares of Pinnacle common
stock in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $10.9
billion, including Pinnacle's outstanding net debt.

On August 15, 2018, a purported stockholder of Pinnacle filed a
complaint in a putative class action in the Court of Chancery of
the State of Delaware, captioned Jordan Rosenblatt v. Pinnacle
Foods Inc. et al., Case No. 2018-0605 (the "Rosenblatt Action").

The Rosenblatt Action alleged that the directors of Pinnacle
breached their fiduciary duty of disclosure by filing a preliminary
proxy statement that contained materially incomplete and misleading
information.

The Rosenblatt Action further alleged that Pinnacle, Conagra, and
Merger Sub aided and abetted the directors' alleged breach of
fiduciary duty.

The Rosenblatt Action sought, among other things, to enjoin the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, rescission of
the merger or an award of rescissory damages should the merger be
consummated, an award of damages and an award of attorneys' fees
and expenses.

Conagra and Pinnacle maintained that the Rosenblatt Action was
without merit and filed a motion to dismiss. Ultimately, the
plaintiff chose not to pursue the Rosenblatt Action and filed a
voluntary notice of dismissal without prejudice. On January 30,
2019, the Court dismissed the case.

Conagra Brands, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a
food company in North America. The company operates through Grocery
& Snacks, Refrigerated & Frozen, International, and Foodservice
segments.


CONAGRA BRANDS: Faces West Palm Beach Firefighters' Suit
--------------------------------------------------------
Conagra Brands, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended February 24, 2019, that the company has been
named as a defendant in a class action suit entitled, West Palm
Beach Firefighters' Pension Fund v. Conagra Brands, Inc., et al.

The Company, its directors, and several of its executive officers
are defendants in several class actions alleging violations of
federal securities laws. The lawsuits assert that the Company's
officers made material misstatements and omissions that caused the
market to have an unrealistically positive assessment of the
Company's financial prospects in light of the acquisition of
Pinnacle, thus causing the Company's securities to be overvalued
prior to the release of the Company's consolidated financial
results on December 20, 2018 for the second quarter of fiscal year
2019.

The first of these lawsuits, captioned West Palm Beach
Firefighters' Pension Fund v. Conagra Brands, Inc., et al., with
which subsequent lawsuits alleging similar facts will likely be
consolidated, was filed February 22, 2019 in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Conagra Brands said, "While we cannot predict with certainty the
results of this or any other legal proceedings, we do not expect
this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations, or business."

Conagra Brands, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a
food company in North America. The company operates through Grocery
& Snacks, Refrigerated & Frozen, International, and Foodservice
segments.


CONAGRA BRANDS: Parties Agree to Drop Merger-Related Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Conagra Brands, Inc. said in its Form 10-Q Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2019, for the
quarterly period ended February 24, 2019, that the parties to the
consolidated merger-related class action suit have stipulated to
the dismissal of the case.

On June 26, 2018, the company entered into a definitive merger
agreement with Pinnacle Foods Inc. ("Pinnacle") under which the
company will acquire all outstanding shares of Pinnacle common
stock in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $10.9
billion, including Pinnacle's outstanding net debt.

On August 7, 2018, a purported stockholder of Pinnacle filed a
complaint in a putative class action in the United States District
Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Alexander Rasmussen
v. Pinnacle Foods Inc. et al., Case No. 2:18-cv-12501.

On August 9, 2018, a purported stockholder of Pinnacle filed a
complaint in a putative class action in the United States District
Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Robert H. Paquette
v. Pinnacle Foods Inc. et al., Case No. 2:18-cv-12578.

On August 9, 2018, a purported stockholder of Pinnacle filed a
complaint in a putative class action in the United States District
Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Wesley Lindquist v.
Pinnacle Foods Inc. et al., Case No. 2:18-cv-12610.

On September 12, 2018, the Court consolidated the three New Jersey
Actions (the "Consolidated Actions"), each of which alleged that
Pinnacle's preliminary proxy statement, filed with the SEC on July
25, 2018, omitted material information with respect to the merger,
rendering it false and misleading and thus that Pinnacle and the
directors of Pinnacle violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act as
well as Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act.

The Consolidated Actions further alleged that the directors of
Pinnacle violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and sought to
enjoin the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement unless
Pinnacle disclosed the allegedly material information that was
allegedly omitted from the proxy statement, an award of damages and
an award of attorneys' fees and expenses.

On September 27, 2018, Pinnacle filed a Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission containing supplemental
disclosures that substantially mooted the claims raised in the
Consolidated Actions regarding the sufficiency of the disclosures
in the proxy statement.

On October 4, 2018, the parties stipulated to dismissal of the
Consolidated Actions.

Conagra Brands, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a
food company in North America. The company operates through Grocery
& Snacks, Refrigerated & Frozen, International, and Foodservice

COOPER TSMITH: Wisniakowski Seeks Overtime Wages for Stevedores
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas Wisniakowski On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly
Situated, the Plaintiff, vs. Cooper/T.Smith Corporation, the
Defendant, Case No. 4:19-cv-01087 (S.D. Tex., March 22, 2019),
seeks to recover unpaid overtime wages and other damages from
Cooper/T.Smith under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Defendant employs stevedores, like Plaintiff, to carry out its
work at ports across the country. The Plaintiff, and the other
workers like him, regularly worked in excess of 40 hours in a
single workweek.  But Defendant allegedly does not pay these
workers overtime for those hours. They are misclassified as exempt
and are not compensated beyond their salary for this overtime work,
the lawsuit says.

Cooper/T.Smith is one of the oldest and largest stevedoring and
maritime related firms. Through its various companies and
divisions, it provides stevedoring and terminal services (receiving
and delivery of cargo, weighing, sorting, clerking and sampling)
for break bulk and containerized cargo in Alabama, California,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina,
Texas and Virginia.[BN]

DASH LUBE: Moreno Sues over Wage & Hour Violations
--------------------------------------------------
The case, ROBERTO MORENO, individually and on behalf of all others

ENTERPRISES, INC., KAYLA CORP., collectively d/b/a JIFFY LUBE,
PAYAM RYAN GHARDASH, POYA PAUL GHARDASH; and DOES 1 through 50,
Inclusive, the Defendants, Case No. 37-2019-00015568-CU-OE-CTL
(Cal. Super., March 22, 2019), is a representative action pursuant
to the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor
Code, on behalf of other current and former aggrieved employees of
Defendants for engaging in a pattern and practice of wage and hour
violations under the California Labor Code.

The Plaintiff and other Aggrieved Employees were required to work
beyond 40 hours in a single workweek and eight hours in a single
workday. The Defendants, however, maintained a company-wide policy
of refusing to pay their hourly employees, like Plaintiff and the
Aggrieved Employees, for all hours worked, including overtime.
Specifically, the Defendants maintained a company-wide pattern and
practice of altering employees' timecards to eliminate numerous
hours worked, including overtime hours. As a result, the Defendants
failed to compensate the Plaintiffs and the Aggrieved Employees all
minimum, regular and overtime wages for all hours worked in
violation of Labor Code.[BN]

According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants
misled investors about Diplomat's success in integrating and
growing its pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") business.

On February 22, 2019, Defendants' announced they delayed releasing
2018 financial results, expected to record PBM-related impairment
charges totaling approximately $630 million, and withdrew
preliminary 2019 full-year outlook provided in January 2019.

This news drove the price of Diplomat shares down $7.59, or down
about 56%, to close at $5.87 that day.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Defendants'
statements about Diplomat's core PBM business may have misled
investors," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Diplomat should consider their options to help in the investigation

DIRECTV LLC: Nationwide Class & Subclass Certified in Brown Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Dolly M. Gee grants the Plaintiff's Motion for Class
Certification in the lawsuit entitled JENNIFER BROWN v. DIRECTV,
LLC, Case No. 2:13-cv-01170-DMG-E (C.D. Cal.).

The Court revises the Class and Subclass definition based on the
parties' briefing, the September 21, 2018 hearing, and the Court's
analysis in the order.

   1. The Court certifies this Nationwide Class:

      All persons residing within the United States who, within
      four years prior to and after the filing of this action,
      received a non-emergency telephone call(s) from DIRECTV
      and/or its third-party debt collectors regarding a debt
      allegedly owed to DIRECTV, to a cellular phone through the
      use of an artificial or prerecorded voice and who did not
      provide the cellular phone number called on an initial
      application for DIRECTV service;

   2. The Court certifies this Nationwide Subclass:

      All persons residing within the United States who, within
      four years prior to and after the filing of this action,
      received a non-emergency telephone call(s) from DIRECTV
      and/or its third-party debt collectors regarding a debt
      allegedly owed to DIRECTV, to a cellular phone through the
      use of an artificial or prerecorded voice and who were
      never DIRECTV customers.

   3. The Court certifies Jenny Brown as Class Representative and
      Lieff Cabraser Heinmann & Bernstein, LLP, Meyer Wilson Co.,
      LPA, and Burke Law Offices, LLC as class counsel;

   4. In light of this ruling, the Court rules that it need not
      address the Plaintiff's alternative argument to set aside
      Magistrate Judge Charles Eick's discovery ruling.

   5. If the Defendant intends to file a motion to compel
      arbitration as to class members' claims, the Court says
      that it shall do so by no later than April 12, 2019.
      The Plaintiff's opposition shall be filed by April 26,
      2019.  The reply shall be filed by May 3, 2019.  The
      hearing on any such motion shall be on May 24, 2019, at
      10:00 a.m.[CC]


DIVERSIFIED CONSULTANTS: Gentile Sues Over Time-barred Debt
-----------------------------------------------------------
Martha Gentile, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. Diversified Consultants Inc., Defendant,
Case No. 0:19-cv-60838-BB (S.D. Fla., March 29, 2019) asserts
violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") and
the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ("FCCPA").

The Defendant alleges Plaintiff owes a debt. The Debt was primarily
for personal, family or household purposes, namely, a personal
credit card account. In its efforts to collect the debt, Defendant
contacted Plaintiff by letter dated March 6, 2018. The Letter was
the initial communication Plaintiff received from Defendant. The
statute of limitations on the Debt expired prior to the date of the
Letter. The Defendant knew the statute of limitations on the Debt
expired prior to the date of the Letter.

The Letter fails to inform Plaintiff that any payment on a
time-barred debt may result in revival of an otherwise time-barred
debt. The Letter also fails to inform Plaintiff that any promise to
pay a time-barred debt may result in revival of an otherwise
time-barred debt. Notwithstanding the expiration of the statute of
limitations, the Letter fails to inform Plaintiff that any payment
by Plaintiff may result in the revival of Plaintiff's otherwise
time-barred debt, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Martha Gentile is an individual who is a citizen of the
State of Florida residing in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Diversified Consultants Inc. is a Florida Corporation with a
principal place of business in Duval County, Florida.[BN]

and intentionally failing to pay Hardy and putative class members
all wages accruing to them on their regular paydays. Hardy and
similarly situated medical technicians worked for Defendants as
hourly-paid Computed Tomography Technicians, Ultrasound
Technicians, MRI Technicians, Radiology Technicians, and other
similar positions, regardless of their precise titles.

ENCLARITY INC: Files Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Fulton Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Defendants Enclarity Inc., et al., filed with the Supreme Court of
United States petition for a writ of certiorari in the matter
titled Enclarity Inc., et al., Petitioners v. Matthew N. Fulton,
Case No. 18-1258.

Response is due on April 29, 2019.

The Lower Court Case is captioned MATTHEW N. FULTON, D.D.S., P.C.,
individually and as the representative of a class of similarly
situated persons, Plaintiff-Appellant v. ENCLARITY, INC.;
LEXISNEXIS RISK SOLUTIONS, INC.; LEXISNEXIS RISK SOLUTIONS GA,
INC.; LEXISNEXIS RISK SOLUTIONS FL, INC.; JOHN DOES 1–12,
Defendants-Appellees, Case No. 17-1380, in the United States Court
of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

The District Court Case is entitled MATTHEW N. FULTON, D.D.S.,
P.C., individually and as the representative of a class of
similarly situated persons v. ENCLARITY, INC.; LEXISNEXIS RISK
SOLUTIONS, INC.; LEXISNEXIS RISK SOLUTIONS GA, INC.; LEXISNEXIS
RISK SOLUTIONS FL, INC.; JOHN DOES 1–12, Case No.
2:16-cv-13777—Denise Page Hood, in the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, Judge Jane B.
Stranch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (i)
reversed the District Court's judgment in favor of the Defendants,
and (ii) remanded Fulton's TCPA and conversion claims for further
proceedings consistent with her Opinion.

Plaintiff Matthew N. Fulton, DDS, P.C., a dental practice in
Linden, Michigan, brings the suit on behalf of itself and others
similarly situated.  Fulton alleges that it received a fax from the
Defendants in September 2016 that was an unsolicited advertisement
under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), but that
failed to include the requisite opt-out provision.

Fulton filed a two-count class action complaint in October 2016.
Count I asserted that the fax violated the TCPA, and Count II
asserted a state law conversion claim.  The complaint included the
fax itself, as well as printouts from the Defendants' referenced
website, including the FAQs, a provider lookup form, the
Defendants' privacy policy, and the Defendants' terms and
conditions.  Fulton alleged that the fax was a pretext to obtain
both participation in the Defendants' proprietary database and
consent to send additional marketing faxes to recipients.  Fulton
alleged that both the Defendants and the third parties will use the
information to contact the recipients regarding products, services,
competitions and promotions.[BN]

ENTEGRIS INC: Garfield Challenges Merger Deal with Versum
---------------------------------------------------------
Robert Garfield, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, the Plaintiff, vs. Bertrand Loy, Paul L. H. Olson,
Michael A. Bradley, R. Nicholas Bums, James F. Gentilcore, James P.
Lcderer, Azita Saleki-Gcrhardt, Brian F. Sullivan, and Entegris,
Inc., the Defendants, Case No. 19-825 (Mass. Super., March 22,
2019), alleges that the Defendants have breached and/or aided the
other Defendants' breaches of their fiduciary duties to Entegris's
public shareholders by acting to cause or facilitate a merger
agreement because it is not in the best interests of the
shareholders.  The deal only benefits the Defendants, who will
collectively receive significant personal profits as a result of
the merger agreement, which they would not otherwise receive at
this time.

The case is a shareholder class action brought by the Plaintiff, on
behalf of himself and other Entegris shareholders, against Entegris
and the members of its board of directors. The action arises from
Defendants' actions in connection with a proposed merger between
Entegris and Versum Materials, Inc., pursuant to an agreement dated
January 27, 2019. In connection with the Merger, Versum
stockholders will receive 1.12 shares of Entegris stock for each
share of Versum stock.

According to the complaint, Entegris's directors were motivated to
cause Entegris to enter into the Merger Agreement by their own
self-interest in increasing their personal compensation. In this
regard, the Merger will effectively result in Entegris nearly
doubling in size. Since the compensation of Entegris's CEO Beitrand
Toy and Entegris's other board members is determined by, among
other things, reference to the compensation of directors and senior
officers of similarly sized "peer companies" each of Entegris's
board members and CEO Loy will personally benefit form the Merger
because an increase in Entegris's size will place the Company and
its directors in a higher paying peer group.

In order to persuade Entegris' shareholders to approve such an
unfavorable Merger Agreement, the Defendants caused Entegris to
file a proxy statement with the SEC on or about March 20, 2019 and
thereafter, on or about March 22, 2019, mailed the same to
Plaintiff and other Enlegris's stockholders in connection with
soliciting their vote on the Merger Agreement. The Proxy Statement
is deficient, however, because, among other things, its conceals
material information regarding:

     -- The conflicts of interest of each of Entegris' directors,
including the extent to which each will benefit from the Merger.

     -- The conflicts of interest of Defendants' purported
independent financial advisor, Morgan Stanley so as not to
discredit its recommendation of the Merger to Entegris's
shareholders. In this regard, while the Proxy Statement touts
Morgan Stanley's opinion that the Merger is 'fair', it does not
even acknowledge that Morgan Stanley is a shareholder of Versum,
holding nearly $9 million worth of Versum's stock at the time it
rendered its fairness opinion on the Merger. Additionally, the
Proxy Statement does not disclose the amount of financing fees that
a Morgan Stanley affiliate will be entitled to receive in
connection with a financing commitment letter that it entered into
with Entegris at the same time as the Merger Agreement was executed
and does not disclose the criteria that will be used to determine
whether Morgan Stanley is deserving of, and will receive, a $5
million "discretionary bonus."

     -- The free cash flow financial projections for Entegris and
Versum that Morgan Stanley relied upon in the relative discounted
cash flow analysis underlying its fairness opinion.

Because Defendants have knowingly or recklessly breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger, and/or arc
personally profiting from the same, the burden of proving the
inherent or entire fairness of the Merger, including all aspects of
its negotiation, structure, and terms, is borne by Defendants as a
matter of law, the lawsuit says.

Entegris is a global developer, manufacturer, and supplier of
microcontamination control products, specialty chemicals, and
advanced materials handling solutions for manufacturing processes
in the semiconductor and other high-technology industries.[BN]

EQHEALTH SOLUTIONS: Russell Moves for Workers Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Plaintiffs in the lawsuit captioned MELISSA RUSSELL, AND ALL
OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED v. EQHEALTH SOLUTIONS, INC., Case No.
3:19-cv-00005-SDD-EWD (M.D. La.), move for conditional
certification of and notice to this group of the Defendants'
current and former employees outlined in the Plaintiffs' First
Amended Complaint:

     Defendant's current and former non-supervisory employees
     paid on a salary basis; who worked more than 40 hours in at
     least one workweek over the past three years; and whose job
     duties included Care Management Work or similar job duties.
     This definition includes, without limitation, such job
     titles as "Care Coordinator," "Pediatric Care Coordinator,"
     "Utilization Review Nurse," "Utilization Review
     Coordinator," "Utilization Reviewer," "Clinical Reviewer,"
     "First Level Reviewer," and other non-supervisory positions
     within Defendant's "Care Coordination" or "Utilization
     Management" job families containing the terms "coordinator,"
     "utilization" or "reviewer" in the job title whose job
     duties include Care Management Work.  This definition
     specifically excludes Defendant's employees, if any, whose
     job duties involved providing direct medical care to members
     or traditional nursing care to patients in a clinical
     setting.

As explained in their memorandum, the Plaintiffs contend that the
Court should grant notice because they have met their lenient first
stage burden to justify notice through substantial allegations
corroborated by nine sworn statements establishing that the
Plaintiffs and the collective action members stand similarly
situated with respect to job duties and with regard to pay
provisions.

Because recovery for the Potential Plaintiffs erodes daily, the
Plaintiffs request that the Court authorize notice to this limited
group of Defendant's current and former employees as soon as
possible.[CC]

ERIC RYAN CORP: Court Denies Gorss' Bid to Certify TCPA Class
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Dominic J. Squatrito denies the Plaintiff's motion for
class certification in the lawsuit entitled GORSS MOTELS, INC. v.
THE ERIC RYAN CORPORATION, ET AL., Case No. 3:17-cv-00126-DJS (D.
Conn.).

In accordance with the Court's previous Order, dispositive motions
will be filed by April 29, 2019.

"Because the Court has found that Gorss failed to meet its burden
under Rule 23(b)(3), the Court does not find it necessary to
address the other issues raised by Eric Ryan in opposition to the
motion for class certification, i.e., ascertainability of the
proposed class (to the extent that issue differs from the
predominance requirement) and adequacy of class representation,"
Judge Squatrito opines.

Rule 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires
"that the questions of law or fact common to class members
predominate over any questions affecting only individual members,
and that a class action is superior to other available methods for
fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy."

In its complaint, Gorss asserts violations of the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax
Prevention Act of 2005.  Gorss alleges that Eric Ryan sent
unsolicited advertisements to Gorss and members of the proposed
class in violation of the TCPA, including three unsolicited
facsimiles sent during the time period between March 1, 2013, and
December 1, 2013.

Gorss has sought certification of this class:

     All persons or entities who were successfully sent a
     facsimile on or about March 1, 2013, stating: "The Eric Ryan
     Corporation," Sign Up for a Free Utility and
     Telecommunications Bill Review," and "To Find Out More, call

Intervenor-Defendant Federal Housing Finance Agency filed an appeal
from a Court ruling in the lawsuit entitled James Banneck v.
FNMA/Fannie Mae, et al., Case No. 3:17-cv-04657-WHO, in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of California, San
Francisco.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on March 26, 2019, Judge
William H. Orrick granted Fannie Mae's motion for summary
judgment.

Mr. Banneck brings the instant lawsuit against Defendant Fannie Mae
alleging violations of the California Consumer Credit Reporting
Agencies Act ("CCRAA") and the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act

applicant's loan can be purchased by Fannie Mae, generated an
inaccurate DU findings report that negatively impacted his loan
application.  He contends that Fannie Mae prohibited mortgage
originators from providing consumers with a copy of their DU
findings report in violation of the CCRAA and FCRA.

The appellate case is captioned as James Banneck v. FNMA/Fannie
Mae, et al., Case No. 19-15594, in the United States Court of

situated, Plaintiff, v. Financial Collection Agency of Anchorage,
Inc., Defendant, Case No. 3:19-cv-00084-JWS (D. Alaska, March 28,

Debt, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Joshua Plumb is an individual who is a citizen of the

GENESCO INC: Settlement Reached in Chen & Salas Suit
----------------------------------------------------
Genesco Inc. said in its Form 10-K report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the fiscal
year ended February 2, 2019, that the Company has reached an
agreement in principle to settle the Chen and Salas, and
Massachusetts suits.

On May 19, 2017, two former employees of the same subsidiary filed
a putative class and collective action, Chen and Salas v. Genesco
Inc., et al., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
certain Illinois and New York wages and hours laws, including,
among others, failure to pay overtime to store managers, and also
seeking back pay, damages, statutory penalties, and declaratory and
injunctive relief.

On March 8, 2018, the court granted the Company's motion to
transfer venue to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of Indiana.

On March 9, 2018, a former employee of the same subsidiary filed a
putative class action in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts claiming violations of the Massachusetts Overtime
Law, M.G.L.C. 151 Section 1A, by failing to pay overtime to
employees classified as store managers, and seeking restitution, an
incentive award, treble damages, interest, attorneys fees and
costs.

The Company has reached an agreement in principle to settle the
Chen and Salas, and the Massachusetts matters for payment of
attorneys' fees and administrative costs totaling $0.4 million plus
total payments to members of the plaintiff class who opt to
participate in the settlement of up to $0.8 million.

The proposed settlement is subject to documentation and approval by
the court.

The Company does not expect that the proposed settlement will have
a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.

HENKEL OF AMERICA: Duran Files Suit Over Misleading Product Label
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ABEL DURAN, On behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff, v. HENKEL OF AMERICA, INC. and HENKEL CORPORATION,
Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-02794 (E.D. N.Y., March 28, 2019) is a
consumer protection action arising out of deceptive and otherwise
improper business practices that the Defendants engage in with
respect to the labeling of their Schwarzkopf got2b Ultra glued
Invincible Styling Gel.

According to the complaint, the Product is advertised and sold to
mislead consumers into believing that the gel produces "no flakes,"
when it in fact does produce flakes. Consumers are misled as to the
quality and qualities of the Product. Accordingly, the Product
violates the New York State laws within the same scope as the
Federal Food Drug & Cosmetic Act ("FDCA").

Plaintiff and Class members viewed Defendants' misleading front
label, and reasonably relied in substantial part on the
representations that it did not produce flakes when used. Plaintiff
and Class members were thereby deceived into purchasing a product
inferior to the one that they had bargained for. Upon information
and belief, the Defendants continue to sell the misbranded Product,
says the complaint.

Plaintiff purchased a 6oz bottle of the Product at a CVS in
Queens.

Delaware.[BN]

IC SYSTEMS INC: Gentile Suit Asserts FDCPA Violation

No. 0:19-cv-60839-WPD (S.D. Fla., March 29, 2019) seeks to recover
for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA")
and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ("FCCPA").

The Defendant alleges Plaintiff owes a debt. The Debt was primarily
for medical services. In its efforts to collect the debt, Defendant
contacted Plaintiff by letter dated April 5, 2019. The Letter
directs Plaintiff to Defendant's website. Plaintiff accessed the
Website. The Defendant, through the Website, attempted to charge
Plaintiff a "Convenience Fee" of $41.39.

The Defendant's representation that it was entitled to be paid a
convenience fee of $41.39 is a false, deceptive, and misleading
representation in connection with the collection of the Debt, says
the complaint.

Plaintiff Ronald Gentile is an individual who is a citizen of the
State of Florida residing in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Defendant is regularly engaged, for profit, in the collection of

John Duquette, on behalf of himself and all others similarly

No. 1:19-cv-00460 (E.D. Wis., March 30, 2019) is a collective and
class action brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act of
1938, ("FLSA"), and Wisconsin's Wage Payment and Collection Laws,
("WWPCL").

Defendant, among other things, develops, manufactures, and sells
paper and film based pressure sensitive and water activated tapes,
polyethylene and specialized polyolefin films, and packaging
systems for industrial and retail use.

Plaintiff was hired by Defendant as a Manufacturing employee at its
Menasha, Wisconsin manufacturing facility on December 17, 2012.

According to the complaint, the Defendant operated (and continues
to operate) an unlawful compensation system that deprived current
and former hourly-paid, non-exempt Manufacturing employees of their
wages earned for all compensable work performed each workweek,
including at an overtime rate of pay for each hour worked in excess
of 40 hours in a workweek.

Specifically, the Defendant's unlawful compensation system failed

Defendants, Case No. 2:19-cv-09065 (E.D. Va., March 28, 2019) is an

work or have worked for the Defendants over Defendants' unlawful
conspiracy to suppress the wages of its employees through
agreements with its franchises not to compete for workers in
violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

The Defendants orchestrated and enforced this conspiracy at least
in part through an explicit contractual prohibition contained in
standard Jackson Hewitt franchise agreements that severely limited
Plaintiff's and Class member's job mobility and served to
significantly suppress their compensation, says the complaint.

The Defendants operated (and continue to operate) an unlawful
compensation system that deprived and failed to compensate all

at an overtime rate of pay, by operating an invalid and unlawful
tip pool and by retaining tips earned and received by its

employees was intentional, willful, and violated federal law as set
forth in the FLSA and state law, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Deiner was hired by Defendant as a Bartender in
approximately December 2017, while Plaintiff Bertnick as a Server
in approximately May 2009.

JOHN ALLAN'S: Peralta et al. Seek Minimum & OT Pay for Salon Staff
------------------------------------------------------------------
A class action lawsuit against John Allan's Fifth Avenue LLC and
its affiliated entities seeks to recover unpaid minimum and
overtime wages pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New
York Labor Law.

The Defendants own, operate, or control three salons in New York,
New York. The Plaintiffs are former employees of Defendants. The
Plaintiffs were employed as manicurists, assistants, shampoo girls,
and hair washers at the salons. The Plaintiffs worked for
Defendants in excess of 40 hours per week, without appropriate
minimum wage and overtime compensation for the hours that they
worked.

Rather, the Defendants failed to maintain accurate recordkeeping of
the hours worked and failed to pay Plaintiffs appropriately for any
hours worked, either at the straight rate of pay or for any
additional overtime premium. Furthermore, the Defendants repeatedly
failed to pay Plaintiffs wages on a timely basis.

The Defendants' conduct extended beyond Plaintiffs to all other
similarly situated employees. The Defendants maintained a policy
and practice of requiring Plaintiffs and other employees to work in
excess of 40 hours per week without providing the minimum wage and
overtime compensation required by federal and state law and
regulations.

LLR INC: Van Appeals Class Action Dismissal to 9th Circuit
----------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff Katie Van filed an appeal from a Court ruling in the
lawsuit styled Katie Van v. LLR, Inc., et al., Case No.
3:18-cv-00197-HRH, in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Alaska, Anchorage.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on March 27, 2019, Judge
H. Russel Holland granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss the
Plaintiff's first amended class action complaint.

The Defendants sell clothing through fashion retailers located in
all fifty states to consumers across the United States.  Plaintiff
Van alleges that she made purchases from LuLaRoe retailers in other
states and had those purchases shipped to her home in Anchorage,
Alaska.  She alleges that she was improperly charged sales tax on
purchases she made from LuLaRoe's remote consultants.  Alaska does
not have a state-wide sales tax, although some local jurisdictions
impose a sales and/or use tax.  The Plaintiff alleges that the
Defendants improperly charged sales tax on at least 72,503 sales
transactions shipped into non-taxing jurisdictions in Alaska from
April 2016 through June 1, 2017.

The Plaintiff alleges that Defendants began improperly charging
sales tax in 2016 after it was discovered that LuLaRoe was paying
sales tax on all sales regardless of whether or not the end
consumer was charged or paid sales tax on a transaction.  She
alleges that this happened because of the way that the Defendants'
point-of-sale system, which was called "Audrey," was programmed.

The Plaintiff alleges that in response to this discovery, the
Defendants, in April 2016, implemented a new sales tax policy,
which was that Audrey would be collecting tax from end consumers
based upon the retailer location.  The Plaintiff alleges that the
Defendants altered the Audrey POS to prevent retailers from turning
off the sales tax features when making sales delivered into other
states with no sales tax.  The Defendants launched a new POS system
in January 2017 called Bless and began transitioning retailers from
Audrey to Bless.  This transition was not completed until May and
Audrey was permanently disabled on May 31, 2017.

The appellate case is captioned as Katie Van v. LLR, Inc., et al.,
Case No. 19-35242, 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 April 25, 2019;

      participants eligible for benefits in the Local 175 Welfare
      Fund as a result of a certified change in collective
      bargaining representative in 2005, excluding all persons
      who currently receive or become eligible to receive
      benefits from the Local 1175 Welfare Fund.

Judge Chen denies as moot the Defendants' motion to strike two
expert reports and an affidavit submitted by the Named Plaintiffs
in support of class certification.

The Plaintiffs are four asphalt plant workers employed by the
College Point Asphalt Corporation ("College Point").  They bring
this putative class action against the Defendants, who are Trustees
of the Sand, Gravel, Crushed Stone, Ashes and Material Yard Workers
Local 1175 Pension Fund and Welfare Fund.  The Plaintiffs seek to
force the transfer of certain assets from the Local 1175 Funds to
corresponding pension and welfare funds maintained by the United
Plant and Production Workers Local 175.[CC]



LVNV FUNDING: Renews Bid for Prelim. Approval of Elliott Settlement
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The parties in the lawsuit styled ANTHONY ELLIOTT v. LVNV FUNDING,
LLC, Case No. 3:16-cv-00675-RGJ-LLK (W.D. Ky.), file their renewed
joint motion for certification of settlement class and preliminary
approval of class action settlement agreement.

On March 8, 2019, the Court denied the Parties' Joint Motion for
Certification of Settlement Class and Preliminary Approval of Class
Action Settlement Agreement without prejudice.

The Court's denial was premised on two discrete issues.  First, the
Court noted that under the prior Proposed Settlement, Class II
members were set to receive "minimal benefit" while still "subject
to the same release of claims as Class I members."

Second, the Court identified a potential discrepancy between the
waiver provision as it appeared in the Proposed Settlement versus
the Proposed Notice.  Specifically, the Court noted that the term
"Released Claims" was defined in the Proposed Settlement but not in
the Proposed Notice.  Counsel for the Parties conferred regarding
these issues and agree that these were the consequence of drafting
oversight.

Accordingly, the Parties ask the Court to enter an order: (1)
certifying the two classes set forth in Exhibit A for settlement
purposes; (2) preliminarily approving the proposed Settlement
Agreement; (3) order that Plaintiff may act as representative of
the Class and that Plaintiff's attorneys may act as counsel for the
Class; (4) authorize the form of notice attached hereto as Exhibit
B and directing said notice to the Class; (4) setting dates for
opt-outs, objections, and a hearing under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 23(e)(2); and (5) at such hearing approve the settlement
and grant final judgment.[CC]

The Hon. Gary A. Fenner granted in part and denied in part the
Plaintiffs' motion for class certification in the multidistrict
litigation captioned IN RE: DOLLAR GENERAL CORP. MOTOR OIL

MICHIGAN: Certification of Prisoners Class Sought in Theriot Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Plaintiff in the lawsuit titled Kevin Theriot v. Janet T. Neff,
et al., Case No. 2:19-cv-00073-GJQ-MV (W.D. Mich.), moves for class
certification on behalf of Michigan Department of Corrections
prisoners.

Janet T. Neff is a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Michigan.

The Plaintiff, who is currently at the Baraga Correctional
Facility, in Baraga, Michigan, appears pro se.[CC]


MIDLAND CREDIT: Brooker Sues Over Confusing Debt Collection Letters
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gary Booker, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. Midland Credit Management, Inc., a Kansas
corporation, and Midland Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, Defendants, Case No. 4:19-cv-00034 (N.D. Ind., March 29,
2019) is an action under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
("FDCPA"), for a finding that Defendants' form debt collection
letters violated the FDCPA, and to recover damages.

The Defendants sent Mr. Booker a initial form collection letter,
dated August 29 2018, demanding payment of a debt he allegedly owed
for a Citibank/Shell credit card. Two days later, on August 31,
2018, Defendants sent Mr. Booker another form debt collection
letter, demanding payment of the same Citibank/Shell debt. This
letter was captioned, "Account Transfer Detail", offered Mr. Booker
a discount of "up to 10%", if he made a single payment of $991.83
by October 15, 2018. This settlement offer was a lot less favorable
than the one the Defendants already offered Mr. Booker two days
earlier.

Violations of the FDCPA would lead a consumer to alter his or her
course of action as to whether to pay a debt, or which would be a
factor in the consumer's decision making process. Here, Defendant's
conflicting statements concerning settlement offers would cause an
unsophisticated consumer to be confused as to which settlement
offer controlled or was still available, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Gary Booker is a citizen of the State of Indiana,
residing in the Northern District of Indiana, from whom Defendants
attempted to collect a defaulted consumer debt.

Midland Credit Management, Inc. ("MCM"), is a Kansas corporation
that acts as a debt collector.[BN]

MIDTOWN CATCH: Rivera Seeks Minimum & Overtime Wages
----------------------------------------------------
ENOC RIVERA (A.K.A MOSES), individually and on behalf of others
similarly situated, the Plaintiff, vs. MIDTOWN CATCH CORP. (D/B/A
MIDTOWN CATCH), MICHAEL CIOFFI, and JOSEPH POLIZZI, the Defendants,
Case No. 1:19-cv-02574 (S.D.N.Y., March 22, 2019), seeks to
recover unpaid minimum and overtime wages pursuant to the Fair
Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law.

The Plaintiff is a former employee of the Defendants who own,
operate, or control a seafood market and take out store, located at
405 East 57th Street, New York, New York 10022 under the name
"Midtown Catch". The Plaintiff was employed as a cook who worked
for Defendants in excess of 40 hours per week, without appropriate
minimum wage and overtime compensation for the hours that he
worked.

Rather, the Defendants failed to maintain accurate recordkeeping of
the hours worked and failed to pay Plaintiff Rivera appropriately
for any hours worked, either at the straight rate of pay or for any
additional overtime premium. The Defendants maintained a policy and
practice of requiring Plaintiff Rivera and other employees to work
in excess of 40 hours per week without providing the minimum wage
and overtime compensation required by federal and state law and
regulations, the lawsuit states.[BN]

NATIONAL BASKETBALL: 2nd Cir. Appeal Filed in Abdul-Aziz Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff Zaid Abdul-Aziz filed an appeal from the District Court's
Opinion & Order and Judgment, both issued on March 20, 2019, in his
lawsuit styled Abdul-Aziz v. National Basketball Association,
Players' Pension Plan, Case No. 17-cv-8901, in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York (New York City).

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Plaintiff
asserts his pension plan cheated retired players of hundreds of
thousands of dollars by skimping on cost-of-living adjustments.

Lead plaintiff Zaid Abdul-Aziz, formerly known as Don Smith, was a
power forward and center for six teams in an 11-year NBA career,
after being a first-round pick in the 1968 draft.  He retired from
the Houston Rockets in 1978.

The 27-page lawsuit claims there are steep disparities between NBA
benefit plans.  Mr. Abdul-Aziz claims the sole defendant National
Basketball Association Players' Pension Plan violated Employee
Retirement Income Security Act and IRS rules because the financial
difference between the normal retirement pension and the fixed
period actuarial equivalent he chose in August 1991 cost his family
hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits.

The appellate case is captioned as Abdul-Aziz v. National
Basketball Association, Players' Pension Plan, Case No. 19-782, in
the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.[BN]

Michael Fridman, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. National Document Processing, LLC, a
California company, Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-21217 (S.D. Fla.,
March 29, 2019) is a class action under the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act and California Invasion of Privacy Act against
Defendant to stop it from making unauthorized pre-recorded voice
message calls promoting its debt reduction services, and from
recording incoming consumer calls without consent, and to obtain
redress for all persons similarly injured by its conduct.

This case challenges Defendant's practice of making unauthorized
pre-recorded voice message calls to consumers promoting its debt
reduction services, and its practice of recording incoming consumer
calls without consent.

The Defendant's unsolicited pre-recorded voice message calls
violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and Defendant's
recording of incoming calls without consent violated the California
Invasion of Privacy Act ("CIPA"), causing Plaintiff and putative
members of the Classes to suffer actual harm, says the complaint.

Plaintiff Fridman is, and at all times relevant to the allegations
in the complaint was, a Miami-Dade County, Florida resident.

NORTH CAROLINA: Two Classes of Drivers Certified in Johnson Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit entitled SETI JOHNSON and MARIE
BONHOMME-DICKS, on behalf of themselves and those similarly
situated, and SHAREE SMOOT and NICHELLE YARBOROUGH, on behalf of
themselves and those similarly situated v. TORRE JESSUP, in his
official capacity as Commissioner of the North Carolina Division of
Motor Vehicles, Case No. 1:18-cv-00467-TDS-LPA (M.D.N.C.), the Hon.
Thomas D. Schroeder ruled that:

   -- the Commissioner's motion for judgment on the pleadings is
      granted in part and denied in part in that the Plaintiffs'
      first claim is dismissed with prejudice but their second
      and third claims survive insofar as they have not been
      challenged at this stage;

   -- the Plaintiffs' second motion for class certification is
      granted in part and that these two classes are certified:

      * Revoked Class:

        All individuals whose driver's licenses were revoked by
        the DMV on or after May 30, 2015, due to their failure to
        pay fines, penalties, or court costs assessed by a court
        for a traffic offense, and whose driver's licenses remain
        so revoked; and

      * Future Revocation Class:

        All individuals whose driver's licenses will be revoked
        in the future by the DMV due to their failure to pay
        fines, penalties, or court costs assessed by a court for
        a traffic offense; and

   -- the Plaintiffs' second motion for preliminary injunction is
      denied.

This civil action arises out of the revocation of the Plaintiffs'
North Carolina driver's licenses, pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat.
Section 20-24.1(a)(2), because of their failure to pay court fines
and costs for motor vehicle violations.  The Plaintiffs seek
declaratory and injunctive relief against Defendant Torre Jessup,
in his official capacity as Commissioner of the North Carolina
Division of Motor Vehicles ("DMV"), for enforcing Section
20-24.1(a)(2) against them in alleged violation of their equal
protection and due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment to
the United States Constitution.[CC]



NPAS SOLUTIONS: Rennick Sues Over Unsolicited Phone Calls
---------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer Rennick, on behalf of herself, and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. NPAS Solutions, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
2:19-cv-02495 (C.D. Cal., April 2, 2019) seeks damages, injunctive
relief, and any other available legal or equitable remedies,
resulting from the illegal actions of Defendant in negligently,
and/or willfully contacting Plaintiff through telephone calls on
Plaintiff's cellular telephone, in  violation of the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), thereby invading Plaintiff's
privacy.

Beginning at least March 2018, Plaintiff received a number of
unsolicited phone calls to her wireless phone, for which Plaintiff
provided no consent to call, in attempt to collect an alleged debt
from Havasu Medical Center. Plaintiff, however, has never visited
Havasu Medical Center, has no prior relationship with Havasu
Medical Center and maintains no debt with Havasu Medical Center.

These unsolicited phone calls placed to Plaintiff's wireless
telephone were placed via an automatic telephone dialing
system("ATDS") and used "an artificial or prerecorded voice"
system, says the complaint.

Plaintiff is, and at all times mentioned herein was, a resident of
the State of California.

Defendant NPAS is a debt collector that specializes in collecting
delinquent debts for healthcare providers.[BN]

OOMA INC: Discovery Ongoing in Dolemba Class Action
---------------------------------------------------
Ooma, Inc. said in its Form 10-K report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2019, that the parties in the class action
suit by Scott Dolemba are in the discovery phase.

On September 4, 2018, plaintiff Scott Dolemba filed a putative
class action complaint against the Company in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division,
alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and
the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act.  The complaint seeks unspecified
monetary damages, costs, attorneys' fees and other appropriate
relief. The parties are commencing the discovery phase.

Based on the Company's current knowledge, the Company has
determined that the amount of any loss resulting from the Dolemba
Litigation is not estimable.  No further updates were provided in
the Company's SEC report.

Ooma, Inc. provides communications solutions and other connected
services to business, residential, and mobile users in the United
States and Canadian markets. Ooma, Inc. was incorporated in 2003
and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.


OOMA INC: Discovery Still Ongoing in Barnett Class Action
---------------------------------------------------------
Ooma, Inc. said in its Form 10-K report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2019, that discovery is ongoing in the
consolidated class action initiated by Michael Barnett.

On January 14, 2016, Michael Barnett filed a purported stockholder
class action in the San Mateo County Superior Court of the State of
California (Case No. CIV536959) against the Company, certain of its
officers and directors, and certain of the underwriters of the
Company's initial public offering (IPO) on July 17, 2015.

Since that time two additional purported class actions making
substantially the same allegations against the same defendants were
filed, and on May 18, 2016, all three complaints were combined into
a "consolidated complaint" filed in the same court (the "Securities
Litigation").

The consolidated complaint purports to be brought on behalf of all
persons who purchased shares of common stock in the Company's IPO
in reliance upon the Registration Statement and Prospectus the
Company filed with the SEC.

The consolidated complaint alleges that the Company and the other
defendants violated the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") by issuing the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, which the plaintiffs allege contained material
misstatements and omissions in violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2)
and 15 of the Securities Act.

The plaintiffs seek class certification, compensatory damages,
attorneys' fees and costs, rescission or a rescissory measure of
damages, equitable and/or injunctive relief, and such other relief
as the court may deem proper.

On November 29, 2017, the Superior Court dismissed the claims that
were based on Sections 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act with
prejudice, but denied the Company's motion to stay the case pending
the United States Supreme Court's decision in Cyan v. Beaver Cnty.
Emp. Ret.' Fund.

On March 20, 2018, the United States Supreme Court published its
decision in the Cyan case, holding that state courts have subject
matter jurisdiction to hear claims brought under the Securities
Act, such as the claims alleging violations of Section 11 of the
Securities Act (the only remaining claims in the Securities
Litigation) brought against the Company in the Superior Court. The
parties are now engaged in the discovery phase of the litigation.

The Company believes the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and
the Company is vigorously defending against the Securities
Litigation and will continue to do so. However, litigation is
unpredictable and there can be no assurances that the Company will
obtain a favorable final outcome or that it will be able to avoid
unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of
litigation that may significantly add to the expense of its defense
and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.


Ooma said, "Based on the Company's current knowledge, the Company
has determined that the amount of any material loss or range of any
losses that is reasonably possible to result from the Securities
Litigation is not estimable."

Ooma, Inc. provides communications solutions and other connected
services to business, residential, and mobile users in the United
States and Canadian markets. Ooma, Inc. was incorporated in 2003
and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.


OSIRIS THERAPEUTICS: Recupero et al. Balk at Smith & Nephew Merger
------------------------------------------------------------------
The case, ELIZABETH A. RECUPERO and RAYMOND MORRISON, Individually
and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, c/o Osiris
Therapeutics, Inc. 7015 Albert Einstein Dr. Columbia, MD 21046, the
Plaintiffs, vs. PETER FRIEDLI, THOMAS KNAPP, WILLI MIESCH, and
CHARLES A. RIENHART, III, c/o Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. 7015 Albert
Einstein Dr. Columbia, MD 21046, the Defendants, Case No.
1:19-cv-00870-ELH (D. Md., Mar. 22, 2019), is a class action
brought by the Plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and all other
similarly situated public shareholders of Osiris Therapeutics, Inc.
against the members of the Company's board of directors for their
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in connection
with the Board's agreement to sell the Company to Smith & Nephew
plc.  Plaintiffs contend Osiris is being sold cheaply.

On March 12, 2019, Osiris, Smith & Nephew plc entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sub
will merge with and into Osiris, and Osiris shall continue as the
surviving corporation in the Merger.  Under the terms of the
transaction, Smith & Nephew will commence a two-step tender offer
to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Osiris common stock
for $19.00 per share in cash.  The deal is valued at $660 million
merger, according to news reports.

The purchase price represents a 37% premium over the 90-day volume
weighted average price of Osiris' shares prior to this
announcement. Peter Friedli has entered into a Tender & Support
Agreement with Smith & Nephew whereby he will commit to tender
approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of Osiris in favor of
the transaction.

The companies expect to close the transaction in the second quarter
of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including
relevant antitrust clearances and the tender of a majority of
outstanding shares of Osiris common stock on a fully diluted
basis.  The acquisition will be financed from Smith & Nephew's
existing cash and debt facilities. The transaction is expected to
be accretive to Smith & Nephew's adjusted earnings per share from
2020. The acquisition is expected to generate a return on invested
capital that exceeds Smith & Nephew's cost of capital in the third
year after closing.

The complaint alleges that the Offer Price is inadequate and that
the Schedule 14D-9 Solicitation/Recommendation Statement regarding
the Proposed Transaction provides stockholders with materially
incomplete and misleading information about the Proposed
Transaction, in violation of Sections 14(d)(4), 14(e), and 20(a) of
the Exchange Act. In particular, the Complaint alleges that the
Recommendation Statement sets forth materially incomplete and
misleading information concerning: (i) financial projections for
Osiris; and (ii) the valuation analyses performed by Osiris'
financial advisor, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., in support of its
fairness opinion.

Osiris researches, develops, manufactures and commercializes
regenerative medicine products. Osiris common stock is traded under
the ticker symbol "OSIR".[BN]

SIGNET JEWELERS: Discovery Ongoing in Consolidated NY Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Signet Jewelers Limited said in its Form 10-K report filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the
fiscal year ended February 2, 2019, that discovery is ongoing in
the consolidated class action suit pending before the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York.

In August 2016, two alleged Company shareholders each filed a
putative class action complaint in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its
then-current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial
Officer (Nos. 16-cv-6728 and 16-cv-6861, the "S.D.N.Y. cases").

On September 16, 2016, the Court consolidated the S.D.N.Y. cases
under case number 16-cv-6728. On April 3, 2017, the plaintiffs
filed a second amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of persons
that acquired the Company's securities on or between August 29,
2013, and February 27, 2017, naming as defendants the Company, its
then-current and former Chief Executive Officers, and its current
and former Chief Financial Officers.

The second amended complaint alleged that the defendants violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by,
among other things, misrepresenting the Company's business and
earnings by (i) failing to disclose that the Company was allegedly
having issues ensuring the safety of customers' jewelry while in
the Company's custody for repairs, which allegedly damaged customer
confidence; (ii) making misleading statements about the Company's
credit portfolio; and (iii) failing to disclose reports of sexual
harassment allegations that were raised by claimants in an ongoing
pay and promotion gender discrimination class arbitration (the
"Arbitration").

The second amended complaint alleged that the Company's share price
was artificially inflated as a result of the alleged
misrepresentations and sought unspecified compensatory damages and
costs and expenses, including attorneys' and experts' fees.

In March 2017, two other alleged Company shareholders each filed a
putative class action complaint in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas against the Company and its
then-current and former Chief Executive Officers (Nos. 17-cv-875
and 17-cv-923, the "N.D. Tex. cases").

Those complaints were nearly identical to each other and alleged
that the defendants' statements concerning the Arbitration violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The N.D. Tex. cases were subsequently transferred to the Southern
District of New York and consolidated with the S.D.N.Y. cases (the
"Consolidated Action").

On July 27, 2017, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead
plaintiff's counsel in the Consolidated Action. On August 3, 2017,
the Court ordered the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Action to
file a third amended complaint by September 29, 2017. On September
29, 2017, the lead plaintiff filed a third amended complaint that
covered a putative class period of August 29, 2013, through May 24,
2017, and that asserted substantially similar claims to the second
amended complaint, except that it omitted the claim based on
defendants' alleged misstatements concerning the security of
customers' jewelry while in the Company's custody for repairs. The
defendants moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on December
1, 2017.

On December 4, 2017, the Court entered an order permitting the lead
plaintiff to amend its complaint as of right by December 22, 2017,
and providing that the lead plaintiff would not be given any
further opportunity to amend its complaint to address the issues
raised in the defendants' motion to dismiss.

On December 15, 2017, Nebil Aydin filed a putative class action
complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against the Company and its current Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (No. 17-cv-9853). The
Aydin complaint alleged that the defendants made misleading
statements regarding the Company's credit portfolio between August
24, 2017, and November 21, 2017, in violation of Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and sought
unspecified compensatory damages and costs and expenses, including
attorneys' and experts' fees. On January 7, 2018, the Aydin case
was consolidated into the Consolidated Action.

On December 22, 2017, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Action
filed its fourth amended complaint, which asserted substantially
the same claims as its third amended complaint for an expanded
class period of August 28, 2013, through December 1, 2017. On
January 26, 2017, the defendants moved to dismiss the fourth
amended complaint. This motion was fully briefed as of March 9,
2018.

On March 20, 2018, the Court granted the lead plaintiff leave to
file a fifth amended complaint. On March 22, 2018, the lead
plaintiff in the Consolidated Action filed its fifth amended
complaint which asserts substantially the same claims as its fourth
amended complaint for an expanded class period of August 29, 2013,
through March 13, 2018. The prior motion to dismiss was denied as
moot. On March 30, 2018, the defendants moved to dismiss the fifth
amended complaint.

On November 26, 2018, the Court denied the defendants' motion to
dismiss. Discovery is ongoing in this action.

SIGNET JEWELERS: Still Awaits Court Decision on Claimants' Appeal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Signet Jewelers Limited said in its Form 10-K report filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the
fiscal year ended February 2, 2019, that Signet Jewelers, Inc.
(SJI), a company subsidiary, still awaiting the decision of the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on claimants' class
action appeal.

On March 2008, a group of private plaintiffs (the "Claimants")
filed a class action lawsuit for an unspecified amount against SJI,
a subsidiary of Signet, in the US District Court for the Southern
District of New York alleging that US store-level employment
practices are discriminatory as to compensation and promotional
activities with respect to gender.

In June 2008, the District Court referred the matter to private
arbitration where the Claimants sought to proceed on a class-wide
basis. The Claimants filed a motion for class certification and SJI
opposed the motion.  

On February 2, 2015, the arbitrator issued a Class Determination
Award in which she certified for a class-wide hearing Claimants'
disparate impact declaratory and injunctive relief class claim
under Title VII, with a class period of July 22, 2004 through date
of trial for the Claimants' compensation claims and December 7,
2004 through date of trial for Claimants' promotion claims. The
arbitrator otherwise denied Claimants' motion to certify a
disparate treatment class alleged under Title VII, denied a
disparate impact monetary damages class alleged under Title VII,
and denied an opt-out monetary damages class under the Equal Pay
Act.

On February 9, 2015, Claimants filed an Emergency Motion To
Restrict Communications With The Certified Class And For Corrective
Notice. SJI filed its opposition to Claimants’ emergency motion
on February 17, 2015, and a hearing was held on February 18, 2015.
Claimants' motion was granted in part and denied in part in an
order issued on March 16, 2015.

Claimants filed a Motion for Reconsideration Regarding Title VII
Claims for Disparate Treatment in Compensation on February 11,
2015, which SJI opposed. April 27, 2015, the arbitrator issued an
order denying the Claimants' Motion.

SJI filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of
New York a Motion to Vacate the Arbitrator's Class Certification
Award on March 3, 2015, which Claimants opposed. On November 16,
2015, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York
granted SJI's Motion to Vacate the Arbitrator's Class Certification
Award in part and denied it in part.

On December 3, 2015, SJI filed with the United States Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit SJI's Notice of Appeal of the
District Court's November 16, 2015 Opinion and Order. On November
25, 2015, SJI filed a Motion to Stay the AAA Proceedings while SJI
appeals the decision of the US District Court for the Southern
District of New York to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit, which Claimants opposed.

The arbitrator issued an order denying SJI's Motion to Stay on
February 22, 2016. SJI filed its Brief and Special Appendix with
the Second Circuit on March 16, 2016. The matter was fully briefed
and oral argument was heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit on November 2, 2016.

On April 6, 2015, Claimants filed in the AAA Claimants' Motion for
Clarification or in the Alternative Motion for Stay of the Effect
of the Class Certification Award as to the Individual Intentional
Discrimination Claims, which SJI opposed. On June 15, 2015, the
arbitrator granted the Claimants' motion.

On March 6, 2017, Claimants filed Claimants' Motion for Conditional
Certification of Claimants' Equal Pay Act Claims and Authorization
of Notice, which SJI opposed The arbitrator heard oral argument on
Claimants' Motion on December 18, 2015 and, on February 29, 2016,
issued an Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification
Award and Order Re Claimants' Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations
Period, conditionally certifying Claimants' Equal Pay Act claims as
a collective action, and tolling the statute of limitations on EPA
claims to October 16, 2003 to ninety days after notice issues to
the putative members of the collective action.

SJI filed in the AAA a Motion To Stay Arbitration Pending The
District Court's Consideration Of Respondent's Motion To Vacate
Arbitrator's Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional
Certification Award And Order Re Claimants' Motion For Tolling Of
EPA Limitations Period on March 10, 2016.

SJI filed in the AAA a Renewed Motion To Stay Arbitration Pending
The District Court's Resolution Of Sterling's Motion To Vacate
Arbitrator's Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional
Certification Award And Order Re Claimants' Motion For Tolling Of
EPA Limitations Period on March 31, 2016, which Claimants opposed.
On April 5, 2016, the arbitrator denied SJI's Motion.

On March 23, 2016 SJI filed with the US District Court for the
Southern District of New York a Motion To Vacate The Arbitrator's
Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And
Order Re Claimants' Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period,
which Claimants opposed. SJI's Motion was denied on May 22, 2016.

On May 31, 2016, SJI filed a Notice Of Appeal of Judge Rakoff's
opinion and order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which
Claimant's opposed. On June 1, 2017, the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals dismissed SJI's appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction.


Claimants filed a Motion For Amended Class Determination Award on
November 18, 2015, and on March 31, 2016 the arbitrator entered an
order amending the Title VII class certification award to preclude
class members from requesting exclusion from the injunctive and
declaratory relief class certified in the arbitration. The
arbitrator issued a Bifurcated Case Management Plan on April 5,
2016, and ordered into effect the parties' Stipulation Regarding
Notice Of Equal Pay Act Collective Action And Related Notice
Administrative Procedures on April 7, 2016.

SJI filed in the AAA a Motion For Protective Order on May 2, 2016,
which Claimants opposed. The matter was fully briefed and oral
argument was heard on July 22, 2016. The motion was granted in part
on January 27, 2017. Notice to EPA collective action members was
issued on May 3, 2016, and the opt-in period for these notice
recipients closed on August 1, 2016.

Approximately, 10,314 current and former employees submitted
consent forms to opt in to the collective action; however, some
have withdrawn their consents. The number of valid consents is
disputed and yet to be determined. SJI believes the number of valid
consents to be approximately 9,124.

On July 24, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit issued its unanimous Summary Order that held that the
absent class members "never consented" to the Arbitrator
determining the permissibility of class arbitration under the
agreements, and remanded the matter to the District Court to
determine whether the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by
certifying the Title VII class that contained absent class members
who had not opted in the litigation.

On August 7, 2017, SJI filed its Renewed Motion to Vacate the Class
Determination Award relative to absent class members with the
District Court. The matter was fully briefed and an oral argument
was heard on October 16, 2017. On January 15, 2018, District Court
granted SJI's Motion finding that the Arbitrator exceeded her
authority by binding non-parties (absent class members) to the
Title VII claim. The District Court further held that the RESOLVE
Agreement does not permit class action procedures, thereby,
reducing the Claimants in the Title VII matter from 70,000 to 254.
Claimants dispute that the number of claimants in the Title VII is
254.

On January 18, 2018, the Claimants filed a Notice of Appeal with
the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The
appeal was fully briefed and oral argument before the Second
Circuit occurred on May 7, 2018. SJI currently awaits the Second
Circuit's decision on this appeal.

On November 10, 2017, SJI filed in the arbitration motions for
summary judgment, and for decertification, of Claimants' Equal Pay
Act and Title VII promotions claims. On January 30, 2018, oral
argument on SJI's motions was heard. On January 26, 2018, SJI filed
a Motion to Vacate The Equal Pay Act Collective Action Award And
Tolling Order asserting that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority
by conditionally certifying the Equal Pay Act claim and allowing
the absent claimants to opt-in the litigation. On March 12, 2018,
the Arbitrator denied SJI's Motion to Vacate The Equal Pay Act
Collective Action Award and Tolling Order. SJI still has a pending
motion seeking decertification of the EPA Collective Action before
the Arbitrator.

On March 19, 2018, the Arbitrator issued an Order partially
granting SJI's Motion to Amend the Arbitrator's November 2, 2017,
Bifurcated Seventh Amended Case Management Plan resulting in a
continuance of the May 14, 2018 trial date. A new trial date has
not been set.

SJI denies the allegations of the Claimants and has been defending
the case vigorously. At this point, no outcome or possible loss or
range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation is able to be
estimated.

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

SONAAL INDUSTRIES: Sandoval Seeks Minimum and Overtime Wages
------------------------------------------------------------
A class action lawsuit against Sonaal Industries, Inc., and its
related entities seeks to recover unpaid minimum and overtime wages
pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and the New York
Labor Law.

The Plaintiff is a former employee of Defendants who own, operate,
or control four buildings, located at 332 W 37th Street, New York,
New York 10018, at 334 W 37TH Street, New York, New York 10018, at
527 W 46TH Street, New York New York 10019 and at 717 W 49th
Street, New York, New York 10019, under the management and/or
control of REM Residential or Sonaal Industries. The Plaintiff was
employed as a superintendent at the four buildings.

The Plaintiff worked for Defendants in excess of 40 hours per week,
without appropriate minimum wage and overtime compensation for the
hours that he worked. Rather, the Defendants failed to maintain
accurate recordkeeping of the hours worked and failed to pay
Plaintiff appropriately for any hours worked, either at the
straight rate of pay or for any additional overtime premium, the
lawsuit says.

Furthermore, the Defendants repeatedly failed to pay Plaintiff
Sandoval wages on a timely basis. Defendants' conduct extended
beyond Plaintiff Sandoval to all other similarly situated
employees.

According to the complaint, the Defendants maintained a policy and
practice of requiring Plaintiff Sandoval and other employees to
work in excess of 40 hours per week without providing the minimum
wage and overtime compensation required by federal and state law
and regulations.

STONELEIGH RECOVERY: Appeals Ruling in Cadillo Suit to 3rd Cir.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Defendant Stoneleigh Recovery Associates LLC filed an appeal from a
Court ruling in the lawsuit styled Natalie Cadillo v. Stoneleigh
Recovery Associates, et al., Case No. 2-17-cv-07472, in the U.S.
District Court for the District of New Jersey.

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Plaintiff,
a resident of New Jersey, incurred a financial obligation in the
amount of $1,134.45 to Jersey City Medical Center (JCMC).  JCMC
then referred the obligation to Stoneleigh, a debt collection
company, to collect the amount owed.  The Plaintiff filed suit in
this Court against Defendant for "damages and declaratory relief
arising from Defendant's violation of Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act (FDCPA).

The Plaintiff also alleges that Defendant's notice violates Section
1692e(10) of the FDCPA, which prohibits the use of any false,
deceptive, or misleading representations or means to collect or
attempt to collect any debt.  A letter is deceptive when it can
reasonably be read to have two or more meanings, one of which is
inaccurate or contradictory to another requirement.  The Plaintiff
argues that the Defendant's January 5, 2017 letter is misleading
because the instruction regarding how to dispute Plaintiff's debt
"can be read to have two or more meanings."

The appellate case is captioned as Natalie Cadillo v. Stoneleigh
Recovery Associates, et al., Case No. 19-8008, in the United States
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[BN]

LP, et al., No. 2:16-cv-6111, filed on November 21, 2016, in the

The plaintiffs in this case (as well as Klein v. StoneMor Partners,
LP, et al., No. 2:16-cv-6275, filed in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 2, 2016,
which has been consolidated with this case) brought an action on
behalf of a putative class of the holders of Partnership units and
allege that the Partnership made misrepresentations to investors in
violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
by, among other things and in general, failing to clearly disclose
the use of proceeds from debt and equity offerings by making
allegedly false or misleading statements concerning (a) the
Partnership's strength or health in connection with a particular
quarter's distribution announcement, (b) the connection between
operations and distributions and (c) the Partnership's use of cash
from equity offerings and its credit facility.

Plaintiffs sought damages from the Partnership and certain of its
officers and directors on behalf of the class of Partnership
unitholders, as well as costs and attorneys' fees. Lead plaintiffs
have been appointed in this case, and filed a Consolidated Amended
Class Action Complaint on April 24, 2017.

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss that Consolidated Amended
Complaint on June 8, 2017. The motion was granted on October 31,
2017, and the court entered judgment dismissing the case on
November 30, 2017. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on December
29, 2017. Oral argument was held before the United States Court of
Appeals for the Third Circuit on November 1, 2018.

decision in the near future, but there can be no assurance as to
when the court will issue its ruling."

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

T-MOBILE USA: Chetwood Sues Over Unpaid Overtime Wages
------------------------------------------------------
Kristina Chetwood and Sandra Castellon-Gonzalez, individually, and
on behalf of others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. T-Mobile
USA, Inc. Defendant, Case No. 2:19-cv-00458 (W.D. Wash., March 28,
2019) arises from Defendant's willful violations of the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA"), and the Kansas Wage Payment Act ("KWPA").

In order to service their customers, Defendant employs hourly
customer service representatives at brick-and-mortar call centers
throughout the country, internally referred to by Defendant as
Customer Service Associate Experts; Customer Service Experts; or
Senior Customer Service Experts ("CSRs").

Defendant requires their CSRs to work a set, full-time schedule.
However, Defendant did not begin compensating CSRs until they have
started up their computers and logged into all of the necessary
computer applications. This policy results in CSRs not being paid
for all time worked and for all of their overtime compensation in
violation of the FLSA and the KWPA, says the complaint.

Plaintiffs were employed by Defendant as hourly CSRs at the
Defendant's call center in Wichita, Kansas.

T-Mobile USA, Inc. is a foreign for-profit corporation,
headquartered in Bellevue Washington and formed in the State of
Delaware.[BN]

TENARIS SA: Faces 2 Class Suits over Argentine Court Probe
----------------------------------------------------------
Tenaris S.A. said in its Form 20-F report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2019, for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2018, that the company continues to defend
two putative class action suits related to its November 27, 2018
announcement that its Chairman and CEO Paolo Rocca was included in
an Argentine court investigation known as the Notebooks Case.

The Company is aware that, following its November 27, 2018
announcement that its Chairman and CEO Paolo Rocca was included in
an Argentine court investigation known as the Notebooks Case, two
putative class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of New York purportedly on behalf of
purchasers of Tenaris securities from May 1, 2014 through November
27, 2018.

The individual defendants named in the complaint are Tenaris's
Chairman and CEO and Tenaris's CFO. Each complaint alleges that
during the class period (May 2014-November 2018), the Company and
the individual defendants inflated the Tenaris share price by
failing to disclose that sale proceeds received by Ternium (in
which Tenaris held an 11.46% stake) when Sidor was expropriated by
Venezuela were received or expedited as a result of alleged
improper payments made to Argentine officials. The complaint does
not specify the damages that plaintiff is seeking.

Tenaris said, "Management believes the Company has meritorious
defenses to these claims, however, at this stage the Company cannot
predict the outcome of the claim or the amount or range of loss in
case of an unfavorable outcome."

Tenaris S.A., through its subsidiaries, produces and sells seamless
and welded steel tubular products; and provides related services
for the oil and gas industry, and other industrial applications.
The company operates in North America, South America, Europe, the
Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific. Tenaris S.A. was
founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Luxembourg City,
Luxembourg. Tenaris S.A. is a subsidiary of Techint Holdings S.a
r.l.

   -- directs the Defendants to, within 14 days of the date of
      this order, provide the Plaintiffs' counsel with the full

   -- approves the Plaintiffs' proposed call script; and

   -- authorizes the Plaintiffs' counsel to contact by telephone
      any Class member for whom no e-mail address is provided by
      the Defendants, but may do so only once and must strictly

After the Defendants have complied with their obligation to provide
the Plaintiffs' counsel with contact information, the counsel must
send the approved Notice form to all identified Class members by
first-class mail and e-mail (where available) within ten days.  The
Plaintiffs' counsel shall notify the Court once delivery of the
Notice is complete.   Class members may opt in to this collective
action only if: (1) they have mailed, faxed, or e-mailed their
Consent Form to Plaintiffs' counsel within sixty days after the
Notice and Consent Forms are transmitted by Plaintiffs' counsel; or
(2) they show good cause for delay.

The Plaintiffs' counsel may send the approved Reminder Notice by
first class mail and e-mail (if available) to any Class member who
has not already returned his or her consent form by the
twenty-fifth day before the close of the sixty-day opt-in window.
Within 30 days of the date of this order, the parties shall submit
to the Court a joint proposed scheduling order for the completion
of discovery.  The joint proposed order will include any discovery
deadlines, a briefing schedule for the Defendants' motion(s) to
decertify the class, and, if necessary, a hearing on the
decertification motion(s).[CC]

UNITED HEALTHCARE: Cole Sues over Arbitrary Medical Policy
-----------------------------------------------------------
A class action complaint has been filed against United Healthcare
Insurance Company (UHC) for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and
improper denial of health care benefits. The case is captioned
Richard Cole, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant, Case No. 1:19-cv-21258-XXXX (S.D. Fla., April 3, 2019).
Richard Cole brings this class action on behalf of beneficiaries of
Employee Retirement Income Security Act plans administered by UHC
who were denied Proton Beam Radiation Therapy (PBRT) because of
UHC's uniform application of an arbitrary medical policy to deny as
experimental or investigational such treatment for prostate cancer,
despite PBRT being recognized for decades by the medical community
as an established, medically appropriate treatment for cancer,
including prostate cancer.

UHC is a Connecticut corporation with its principal place of
business in Hartford, Connecticut. UHC is a global health care
benefits company, which, along with its wholly owned and controlled

US XPRESS: Faces Stein Suit over Initial Public Offering
--------------------------------------------------------
A class action complaint has been filed against U.S. Express
Enterprises, Inc., for alleged violations of the federal securities
laws. The case is captioned LEWIS STEIN, individually and on behalf
of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. U.S. XPRESS, INC.,
ERIC FULLER, ERIC PETERSON, JASON GREAR, MAX FULLER, and LISA QUINN
PATE, Defendants, Case No. 1:19-cv-00098 (E.D. Tenn., April 2,
2019).

Plaintiff Stein brings this action under Sections 11 and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933, on behalf of all persons and entities,
other than Defendants, who purchased or otherwise acquired the
publicly traded common stock of U.S. Xpress pursuant and/or
traceable to the company's initial public offering (IPO) completed
in June 2018. To the detriment of Plaintiff and all those who
bought the shares in or traceable to the IPO, the negligently
prepared Offering Documents omitted material information regarding
the company's business prospects and financial health. As such,
said documents contained untrue statements of material facts or
omitted to state the facts necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading, thus violating the rules and regulations
governing its preparation.

On November 1, 2018, U.S. Xpress issued a press release announcing
the Company's financial and operating results for the third fiscal
quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2018.  Therein, and in
a conference call discussing the results, U.S. Xpress disclosed how
unusual shipping patterns were impacting its segments and how
market challenges for drivers resulted in a year-to-year tractor
count decrease.  The Company and its executives further disclosed
higher driver wages and independent contractor costs, lower than
expected recruitment levels, and a higher insurance expense.  On
this news, U.S. Xpress’s stock price fell $3.04 per share, or
nearly 30%, to close at $7.10 per share on November 2, 2018.

Stein seeks to recover compensable damages caused by Defendant's
violations of the Securities Act.

U.S. Xpress is a publicly traded company incorporated in Nevada
with its principal executive offices located at 4080 Jenkins Road,
Chattanooga, TN 37421. Following the U.S. Xpress IPO, the company's
common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the
ticker symbol USX.

The company describes itself as the fifth largest asset-based
truckload carrier in the U.S. by revenue. It provides services
using both its own truckload fleet and third-party carriers. Its
fleet consist of more than 6,800 tractors and approximately 16,000
trailers. Eric Fuller is the President and CEO and a director of
U.S. Xpress. Fuller, along with U.S. Xpress's Chief Financial
Officer Eric Peterson and directors Jason Grear, Max Fuller, Lissa
Quinn Pate, signed and authorized the signing of the Registration
Statement filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. [BN]

VL DELIGHTS: Cafe Worker Seeks to Recover Unpaid Wages
------------------------------------------------------
Raul Gonzalez Lopez, individually and on behalf of others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. V L Delights LLC (a.k.a. V L Deights LLC,
d/b/a Bel Ami Cafe), Vanessa Laplaud and Claudio Doe, Defendants,
Case No. 1:19-cv-02796 (S.D. N.Y., March 28, 2019) seeks unpaid
minimum and overtime wages pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938, ("FLSA"), and for violations of the N.Y. Labor Law
("NYLL"), and the "spread of hours" and overtime wage orders of the
New York Commissioner of Labor codified, including applicable
liquidated damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs.

The Defendants maintained a policy and practice of requiring
Plaintiff Gonzalez and other employees to work in excess of 40
hours per week without providing the minimum wage and overtime
compensation required by federal and state law and regulations,
says the complaint.

Plaintiff Gonzalez was employed as a food preparer and a dishwasher
at the Defendants' cafe.

Defendants own, operate, or control a French cafe, located at 30
East 68th Street, New York, New York 10065 under the name "Bel Ami
Cafe".[BN]

VOCATIONAL TRAINING: Underpays Instructors, Karna Alleges
---------------------------------------------------------
A wage and hour class action lawsuit has been filed against
Vocational Training Institute Inc. doing business as Pima Medical
Institute (PIMA). The case is captioned VERONICA KARNA,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff, v. VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTES, INC., an Arizona
corporation doing business as Pima Medical Institute; DOES 1-100,
Defendants, Case No. 37-2019-00016838 (Cal. Super., San Diego
County, April 2, 2019). For at least the past four years, PIMA has
saved itself thousands in labor costs by requiring its instructors
to perform all prep work off the clock. Rather than pay its
employees for the hours they actually work, PIMA compensates its
instructors for their prep work by paying them Prep Time Pay, which
is a small fee based on the number of classes and students of the
instructor. Accordingly, the complaint is raised against PIMA for
its unpaid overtime, breach of contract, failure to pay minimum
wage, record-keeping violations, waiting time penalties and
violation of California's Business and Professions Code.

PIMA is an Arizona Corporation that owns and operates two
for-profit post-secondary schools in San Diego County. The San
Marcos campus is approximately 40,000 square feet and is divided
into 10 major instructional areas, which are taught by an estimated
12 full and part time instructors. The Chula Vista campus occupies
approximately 24,000 square feet and is divided into nine major
instructional areas, which are taught by an estimated 23 full and
part time instructors. Both campuses offer its estimated 800 plus
student body, morning, afternoon and night classes and labs. [BN]

WAL-MART STORES: Bakov Sues Over Unauthorized Telephone Calls
-------------------------------------------------------------
Angel Bakov, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, Plaintiffs, v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Defendant, Case No.
1:19-cv-02178 (N.D. Ill., March 28, 2019) seeks damages and
injunctive relief resulting from the illegal actions of Wal-Mart in
contacting Plaintiff and Class members on their cellular telephone
for non-emergency purposes using a prerecorded message or
artificial voice in direct contravention of the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act.

Neither Plaintiff nor the other Class members ever consented in
writing, authorized, desired or permitted Wal-Mart to make
telephone calls to their cellular telephones. By making such
unauthorized telephone calls, Wal-Mart caused Plaintiff and each of
the class members actual harm, including the aggravation and
nuisance that necessarily accompanies the receipt of unsolicited
calls, and the monies paid to their cellular carriers for the
receipt of such calls, says the complaint.

Plaintiff, Angel Bakov, is an individual and is a resident and a
citizen of Cook County, Illinois.

Wal-Mart is a Delaware corporation that maintains its headquarters
at 702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, Arkansas.[BN]

WUXI PHARMATECH: Faces Altimeo Securities Class Action
------------------------------------------------------
Altimeo Asset Management, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Wuxi Pharmatech (Cayman) Inc., Ge

Private Limited, G&C IV Limited, Yinfu Capital Management Co.,
Yunfeng II WX Limited, Sequoia Capital China Growth Fund III, L.P.,
Constant Cypress Limited, and SPDB International Holdings Limited,
Defendants, Case No. 19-cv-01654, (S.D. N.Y., February 21, 2019),
seeks to recover damages caused by violations of federal securities
laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b), 10b-5 and 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Wuxi Pharmatech is a holding company for numerous pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and medical device research and development services
companies operating in the United States and China through its
subsidiaries, WuXi AppTec, WuXi Biologics and WuXi Next Code.

On April 30, 2015, Li and Ally Bridge Group Capital Partners  moved
to acquire all outstanding shares of Wuxi for $46.00 in cash per
share. Defendants allegedly issued numerous false and misleading
statements, designed to undervalue the company by omitting their
intentions to spin-off and publicly list shares of its various
subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China. After WuXi was
delisted from the NYSE on December 10, 2015, Defendants spun-off
its subsidiaries and completed an IPO of its former subsidiaries
which made a killing in China's stock market nearly 7 times greater
than the initial merger valuation, relates the complaint.

Altimeo Asset Management is an independent portfolio management
company based in France. It claims that it was deprived of future
financial growth after the change of equity of the WuXi Group when
it was divested of its WuXi shares. [BN]
