  Settlement Amount   Class Action
  -----------------   ------------
  $590,000,000        In re: LIBOR-Based Financial Instruments
                      Antitrust Litigation, No. 11 MD 2262
                      (NRB)(S.D.N.Y.).

                      These are lawsuits impacting individuals
                      and institutions that entered into
                      over-the-counter financial derivative and
                      non-derivative instruments directly with
                      17 banks on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR panel
                      from 2007 to 2010 and that received
                      payments tied to U.S. Dollar LIBOR.  The
                      litigation claims that the banks
                      manipulated the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate
                      during the financial crisis, artificially
                      lowering the rate for their own profit,
                      which resulted in class members receiving
                      lower interest payments for their U.S.
                      Dollar LIBOR-based instruments from the
                      banks than they should have. The
                      Plaintiffs assert antitrust, breach of
                      contract, and unjust enrichment claims.

                      Settlements totaling $340 million were
                      reached with Deutsche Bank
                      Aktiengesellschaft and HSBC Bank plc.
                      Settlements totaling $250 million were also
                      reached with Barclays and Citibank.  A
                      Litigation Class continues to assert
                      claims against Bank of America, N.A. and
                      JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

                      Settlement with Barclays and and Citi
                      approved on August 1, 2018.

  $504,500,000        Alaska Electrical Pension Fund, et al.
                      v. Bank of America, N.A., et al.,
                      14-cv-7126 (JMF)(S.D.N.Y.)

                      Plaintiffs allege that several financial
                      institutions colluded to manipulate USD
                      "ISDAfix," a global benchmark reference
                      rate used in the interest rate derivatives
                      market.  Plaintiffs assert that Defendants
                      rigged the ISDAfix rates to secure supra-
                      competitive profits on their derivative
                      positions.  Defendants include 14 banks
                      that dominate the market for interest rate
                      derivatives, as well as interdealer broker
                      ICAP, which administered the ISDAfix-
                      setting process during the Class Period.

  $500,000,000        Doe et al v. Michigan State University
                      et al., 1:18-cv-00173 (W.D. Mich.)

                      The case arose from Dr. Larry Nassar's
                      sexual abuse of more than 300 young girls
                      and young women entrusted to his care for
                      medical treatment.  Nassar was the team
                      doctor for the United States' women's
                      Olympic and National gymnastics teams, as
                      well as a doctor in the athletics
                      department at Michigan State University.

                      In May 2018, the Michigan State University
                      and MSU individuals sued in the litigation
                      entered into the settlement with these
                      terms: (i) $425 million will be paid to
                      current claimants, and (ii) $75 million
                      will be set aside in a trust fund to
                      protect any future claimants alleging
                      sexual abuse by Nassar.

                        Asbestos Litigation

ASBESTOS UPDATE: 3d Cir. Reinstates 30-Year Old Asbestos Claims
---------------------------------------------------------------
Max Mitchell, writing for The Legal Intelligencer, reported that
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled, creating
a split among circuits, that a group of shipowners being sued for
allegedly exposing sailors to asbestos failed to preserve a
30-year-old jurisdictional challenge.

The ruling, issued by a split three-judge panel in In re Asbestos
Products Liability Litigation, overruled decisions from the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and
reinstated claims by merchant mariners for an adjudication on the
merits decades after they were filed.

According to Chief Judge D. Brooks Smith, who wrote the majority's
23-page precedential opinion, the dispute stems from orders a
federal judge in Ohio made in 1989, which gave the defendant
shipowners the option of either agreeing to be transferred to
another jurisdiction, or waiving their personal jurisdictional
defense and remaining in the Northern District of Ohio.

Although the defendants contended that they never waived their
jurisdictional challenge, Smith said the facts of the case,
specifically the defendants' objection to transfer and their
continued filings in the litigation, indicated otherwise.

"Behavior that is consistent with waiver, and which indicates an
intent to litigate the case on the merits, is sufficient to
constitute a waiver, regardless of whether the parties also express
an intent to preserve the defense," Smith said. "By filing
pleadings responding to substantive allegations in the merchant
mariners' complaints—after [Ohio federal Judge Thomas] Lambros
had unequivocally ruled that he did not have jurisdiction—the
shipowners chose to actively litigate their case."

Motley Rice attorney Louis Bograd, who is representing the sailors,
said he was pleased with the ruling.

"We think they got it right, and we're gratified by their
recognition that the only reasonable reading of the record and the
course of conduct back in the early days . . . was that the
defendants chose to waive their personal jurisdiction defense,"
Bograd said.

Harold Henderson of Thompson Hine, who is representing the
shipowners, said in an emailed statement, "We are disappointed with
the ruling because we believe the district court correctly found no
waiver of the personal jurisdiction defenses. We will be reviewing
options with our clients."

The decision sets up a split with the Sixth Circuit, which, in its
2017 decision in Kalama v. Matson Navigation, determined that
Lambros acted outside his authority in the way he handled the
personal jurisdiction challenge.

According to Smith, in the 1980s thousands of sailors sued
shipowners in the Northern District of Ohio on a theory of
nationwide jurisdiction. Lambros presided over the consolidated
litigation until it was transferred to the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania in 1991. In 1989, the shipowners challenged
jurisdiction and Lambros agreed with the defendants. However,
instead of granting the defendants' motion to dismiss, he said he
would transfer the cases instead.

According to Smith, counsel for the defendants asked for time to
make that decision, saying their clients may instead want to waive
their jurisdictional defense. At a hearing the following month, the
defendants said that, before making a determination on waiving
jurisdiction, their clients wanted to see how Lambros would rule on
several other issues. The plaintiffs objected, and Lambros
eventually told the shipowners to file an answer by the deadline if
they wanted to waive the jurisdiction issue.

Although the defendants appealed the decision and said they would
file answers in the litigation "under protest," Smith said the
litigation proceeded for another year under Lambros without any
additional motion practice regarding the jurisdictional issue.

The Sixth Circuit determined that Lambros did not have the
authority to declare that filing an answer would result in waiver.

Smith, however, said that, while typically a defendant would raise
a personal jurisdiction defense in an answer, the case at issue was
anything but typical, since Lambros had already ruled on the issue
before answers were filed.

"Judge Lambros did not 'strip a defendant of its right to assert an
affirmative defense in an answer,'" Smith said. "Instead, having
already ruled that he did not have personal jurisdiction over the
shipowners, he ruled that continuing to actively litigate the case
by submitting an answer would indicate waiver and an intent to
proceed in the Northern District of Ohio."


ASBESTOS UPDATE: Ampco-Pittsburgh Has $227.9MM Liability Reserve
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation has US$227,922,000 reserve at December
31, 2018, for the total costs, including defense costs, for
Asbestos Liability claims pending or projected to be asserted
through 2052, according to the Company's Form 10-K filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018.

The Company states, "In 2006, the Corporation retained Hamilton,
Rabinovitz & Associates, Inc. ("HR&A"), a nationally recognized
expert in the valuation of asbestos liabilities, to assist the
Corporation in estimating the potential liability for pending and
unasserted future claims for Asbestos Liability.  Based on this
analysis, the Corporation recorded a reserve for Asbestos Liability
claims pending or projected to be asserted through 2013 as of
December 31, 2006.  HR&A's analysis has been periodically updated
since that time.  In 2018, the Corporation engaged Nathan
Associates Inc. ("Nathan") to update the liability valuation, and
additional reserves were established by the Corporation as of
December 31, 2018, for Asbestos Liability claims pending or
projected to be asserted through 2052.

"The methodology used by Nathan in its projection in 2018 of the
operating subsidiaries' liability for pending and unasserted
potential future claims for Asbestos Liability, which is
substantially the same as the methodology employed by HR&A in prior
estimates, relied upon and included the following factors:

   * interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population
likely to have been exposed to asbestos;

   * epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely
to develop asbestos-related diseases;

   * analysis of the number of people likely to file an
asbestos-related injury claim against the subsidiaries and the
Corporation based on such epidemiological data and relevant claims
history from January 1, 2016, to August 19, 2018;

   * an analysis of pending cases, by type of injury claimed and
jurisdiction where the claim is filed;

   * an analysis of claims resolution history from January 1, 2016,
to August 19, 2018, to determine the average settlement value of
claims, by type of injury claimed and jurisdiction of filing; and

   * an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement
value of claims, at an annual inflation rate based on the
Congressional Budget Office's ten year forecast of inflation.

"Using this information, Nathan estimated in 2018 the number of
future claims for Asbestos Liability that would be filed through
the year 2052, as well as the settlement or indemnity costs that
would be incurred to resolve both pending and future unasserted
claims through 2052.  This methodology has been accepted by
numerous courts.

"In conjunction with developing the aggregate liability estimate,
the Corporation also developed an estimate of probable insurance
recoveries for its Asbestos Liability.  In developing the estimate,
the Corporation considered Nathan's projection for settlement or
indemnity costs for Asbestos Liability and management's projection
of associated defense costs (based on the current defense to
indemnity cost ratio), as well as a number of additional factors.
These additional factors included the Settlement Agreements in
effect, policy exclusions, policy limits, policy provisions
regarding coverage for defense costs, attachment points, prior
impairment of policies and gaps in the coverage, policy
exhaustions, insolvencies among certain of the insurance carriers,
and the nature of the underlying claims for Asbestos Liability
asserted against the subsidiaries and the Corporation as reflected
in the Corporation's asbestos claims database, as well as estimated
erosion of insurance limits on account of claims against Howden
arising out of the Products.  In addition to consulting with the
Corporation's outside legal counsel on these insurance matters, the
Corporation consulted with a nationally recognized insurance
consulting firm it retained to assist the Corporation with certain
policy allocation matters that also are among the several factors
considered by the Corporation when analyzing potential recoveries
from relevant historical insurance for Asbestos Liability.  Based
upon all of the factors considered by the Corporation, and taking
into account the Corporation's analysis of publicly available
information regarding the credit-worthiness of various insurers,
the Corporation estimated the probable insurance recoveries for
Asbestos Liability and defense costs through 2052.

"The Corporation's reserve at December 31, 2018, for the total
costs, including defense costs, for Asbestos Liability claims
pending or projected to be asserted through 2052, was
US$227,922,000.  Defense costs are estimated at 80% of settlement
costs.

"The Corporation's receivable at December 31, 2018, for insurance
recoveries attributable to the claims for which the Corporation's
Asbestos Liability reserve has been established, including the
portion of incurred defense costs covered by the Settlement
Agreements in effect through December 31, 2018, and the probable
payments and reimbursements relating to the estimated indemnity and
defense costs for pending and unasserted future Asbestos Liability
claims, was US$152,508,000."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: Forum Energy Unit Faces 150 Suits at Dec. 31
-------------------------------------------------------------
There were currently fewer than 150 lawsuits pending against a
subsidiary of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., according to the
Company's Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company states, "One of our subsidiaries has been named as one
of many defendants in a number of product liability claims for
alleged exposure to asbestos.  These lawsuits are typically filed
on behalf of plaintiffs who allege exposure to asbestos, against
numerous defendants, often forty or more, who are alleged to have
manufactured or distributed products containing asbestos.  The
injuries alleged by plaintiffs in these cases range from
mesothelioma and other cancers to asbestosis.

"The earliest claims against our subsidiary were filed in New
Jersey in 1998, and our subsidiary currently has active cases in
Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois.  These complaints do
not typically include requests for a specific amount of damages.
Our subsidiary acquired the trademark for the product line in
question in 1985.  To date, the claims against our subsidiary
alleging illnesses due to asbestos have been based on products
manufactured by the previous owner prior to 1985 that are alleged
to have contained asbestos.

"Our subsidiary did not utilize asbestos in the production of these
products after its purchase of the trademark, as by that date the
hazards of asbestos exposure were well known and asbestos had begun
to fall into disuse.  Our subsidiary has been successful in
obtaining dismissals in most lawsuits without any cash
contribution.  This is because the "successor liability" law in
most states does not hold a purchaser in good faith liable for the
actions of the seller prior to the acquisition date unless the
purchaser contractually assumed the liabilities, which our
subsidiary did not.  There are exceptions to the successor
liability doctrine in many states, so there are no assurances that
our subsidiary will not be found liable for the actions of its
predecessor.  The law in other states on so called "successor
liability" may be different or ambiguous in this regard, and could
also expose our subsidiary to liability.  Our subsidiary could also
be found liable should a trier of fact determine that it did use
asbestos in its products, notwithstanding our position to the
contrary.

"To date, asbestos claims have not had a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flow, as our annual out-of-pocket costs over the last five years
has been less than US$200,000.  There were fewer than 25 new cases
filed against our subsidiary in each of last two years, and a
significant number of existing cases were dismissed, settled or
otherwise disposed of over the last year.

"We currently have fewer than 150 lawsuits pending against this
subsidiary.  Our subsidiary has over US$17 million in face amount
of insurance per occurrence and over US$23 million of aggregate
primary insurance coverage.

"In addition, our subsidiary has over US$950 million in face amount
of excess coverage applicable to the claims.  There can be no
guarantee that all of this can be collected due to policy terms and
conditions and insurer insolvencies in the past or in the future.

"In January 2011, we entered into an agreement with seven of our
primary insurers under which they have agreed to pay 80% of the
costs of handling and settling each asbestos claim against the
affected subsidiary.  The insurers' portion of the settlements is
funded by our aggregate primary limits, which are eroded only by
settlements and not legal fees.  Approximately US$2.0 million in
settlements has been paid by insurers to date, with approximately
US$40,000 paid over the course of the last two years.  Our
subsidiary and the subscribing insurers have the right to withdraw
from this agreement, but to date, no party has exercised this right
or expressed an intent to do so."

ASBESTOS UPDATE: J&J Wins Trial Over Retired Teacher's Cancer Claim
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Margaret Cronin Fisk, Sarah Favot and Jef Feeley, writing for
Bloomberg, reported that Johnson & Johnson won the latest trial
over claims its iconic baby powder can cause cancer, as a jury in
Long Beach rejected a lawsuit brought by a 65-year-old retired
teacher who claimed the product was contaminated with asbestos.

The J&J victory came the week after the company settled three cases
alleging baby powder caused a rare asbestos-connected cancer. Two,
in Oklahoma and California, were settled during trial. The other,
in New York, was settled less than two weeks before trial was set
to begin.

Plaintiff Robert Blinkinsop was diagnosed in July 2017 with
mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lining of the lung generally
caused by asbestos exposure. Blinkinsop used Johnson's baby powder
daily for personal hygiene from 1977 to 1994 and on his children
from 1992 to 1996, his attorney, Mark Bratt, said at trial. He also
used the company's Shower to Shower talc product.

J&J is facing more than 13,000 lawsuits linking baby powder and
Shower to Shower to ovarian cancer or mesothelioma. More than two
dozen trials have been scheduled in U.S. courts in 2019.

"Today's jury unanimously ruled that Johnson's Baby Powder does not
contain asbestos and was not the cause of the plaintiff's disease,"
Kim Montagnino, company spokeswoman, said in an emailed statement.
"This conclusion is aligned to the decades of clinical evidence and
scientific studies by medical experts around the world that support
the safety of Johnson's Baby Powder."

Blinkinsop's attorney said he was shocked and disappointed by the
verdict.

"Given the hundreds of positive historical tests from J&J showing
asbestos in its talc containing baby powder, as well as J&J's
ongoing decision to use deceptive testing techniques that allow for
false negative results -- we have no doubt asbestos was, and
currently still is in J&Js talc baby powder products," Bratt said
in a statement. "Asbestos in baby powder is a huge public health
concern that is far bigger than just this case."

The company's record at trial has been mixed so far. The company
lost a $29-million jury award in a California mesothelioma case
March 13 and won a defense verdict in a New Jersey trial March 27,
the same day it settled the three cases.

Several of the first trials resulted in plaintiffs' verdicts,
including one for $4.69 billion in St. Louis in 2018 to 22 women
with ovarian cancer. But J&J has been able to win reversals of
three of the first five jury awards.

The company has also won other defense verdicts in cases alleging
links between baby powder and mesothelioma beyond the New Jersey
trial.

Some of the verdicts include awards against J&J's talc supplier,
Imerys America, which filed for bankruptcy protection in February.

Lawyers for Blinkinsop and his wife, Karen, alleged that J&J knew
for decades that its talc contained asbestos yet didn't warn or
protect customers. People at J&J "made some really poor decisions
in the past," which led to Blinkinsop's exposure to asbestos, Bratt
said. Talc and asbestos were found in Blinkinsop's lung tissue, he
said.

Blinkinsop testified at trial that his condition is terminal.

"It's not curable," he said. The doctors have "all said the same
thing that if everything goes well, I might survive three years,"
he told jurors. "Never any guarantee about the quality of life
during that time."

The company's attorney told jurors there is no asbestos in J&J talc
products and its talc didn't cause Blinkinsop's illness.

"For over 40 years we have been working with the best scientists,
the best universities and the best laboratories who have all
confirmed our products do not contain asbestos," defense attorney
Bruce Hurley said.

Blinkinsop could have been exposed to asbestos while working on
construction jobs, he said. "Mr. Blinkinsop's mesothelioma was not
caused by Johnson's baby powder," Hurley said. "Cosmetic talc does
not cause mesothelioma."


ASBESTOS UPDATE: Mass. High Ct. Bars Claims in Construction Suits
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Steven A. Meyerowitz, writing for PropertyCasualty360, reported
that a decision by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts
concerning the state's six-year statute of repose effectively bars
all or nearly all tort claims arising from negligence in the use or
handling of asbestos in construction-related suits.

Behind the headlines

Wayne Oliver died in 2016 of mesothelioma after exposure to
asbestos during the construction of two nuclear power plants in the
1970s. The General Electric Company ("GE") had designed,
manufactured and sold steam turbine generators for installation at
each of the plants and had supervised the installations. GE's
installation specifications at the time called for the use of
asbestos-containing insulation materials.

Oliver worked as a pipe inspector for a third-party, and was
present while the insulation was cut, mixed and applied to certain
piping systems and equipment in the turbine halls of both plants,
exposing him to the toxic asbestos particles within. He came into
contact with the tainted insulation between 1971 and 1978, received
his malignant mesothelioma diagnosis in April 2015, and filed a
lawsuit against GE in August 2015.

Oliver alleged, among other things, that GE had negligently exposed
him to asbestos during the construction of the two power plants and
had caused him to contract mesothelioma. The plaintiff died in July
2016. The co-executors of his estate submitted an amended complaint
and continued the litigation.

GE moved for summary judgment on the ground that the plaintiffs'
claims against it were barred by a Massachusetts law that sets a
six-year time limit for tort actions arising out of any deficiency
or neglect in the design, planning, construction, or general
administration of an improvement to real property.

The plaintiffs disputed that the law was intended to apply to cases
involving diseases with extended latency periods, arguing that, if
it applied, it would have the effect of extinguishing meritorious
claims before they even came into existence.

A federal district court in Massachusetts ruled that GE's turbine
generators, including their insulation materials, were
"indisputably" improvements to real property.

Notwithstanding this finding, the district court denied GE's motion
as to the claims arising from the alleged asbestos exposure because
it was "not at all clear" that the statute was designed to bar a
category of claims "known uniformly to have a latency period of at
least [20] years," particularly where "GE had control of the site
at the time of [Mr.] Oliver's asbestos exposure, conducted regular
on-site maintenance and inspections for at least two decades after
construction was complete, and continues . . . to perform [routine]
refueling outages," removing it from the category of defendants
customarily protected by the statute.

Case law in question

The district court then certified the following question to the
Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts: "[W]hether or not the
Massachusetts statute of repose, [G. L. c.] 260, § 2B, can be
applied to bar personal injury claims arising from diseases with
extended latency periods, such as those associated with asbestos
exposure, where defendants had knowing control of the
instrumentality of injury at the time of exposure."

Massachusetts law provides: Action[s] of tort for damages arising
out of any deficiency or neglect in the design, planning,
construction or general administration of an improvement to real
property . . . shall be commenced only within three years next
after the cause of action accrues; provided, however, that in no
event shall such actions be commenced more than six years after the
earlier of the dates of: (1) the opening of the improvement to use;
or (2) substantial completion of the improvement and the taking of
possession for occupancy by the owner.

The court answered the certified question in the affirmative,
concluding that the law, "Completely eliminates all tort claims
arising out of any deficiency or neglect in the design, planning,
construction, or general administration of an improvement to real
property after the established time period has run, even if the
cause of action arises from a disease with an extended latency
period and even if a defendant had knowing control of the
instrumentality of injury at the time of exposure."

In its decision, the court explained that it was "well established"
that a statute of repose eliminated a cause of action at a
specified time, regardless of whether an injury had occurred or a
cause of action had accrued as of that date. The court added that a
statute of repose placed "an absolute time limit on the liability
of those within its protection" and abolished a plaintiff's cause
of action thereafter, even if the plaintiff's injury did not occur,
or was not discovered, until after the statute's time limit had
expired.

The court said that, in contrast to statutes of limitation,
"statutes of repose may not be 'tolled' for any reason."

The court's verdict explained

The court rejected the plaintiffs' contention that the law did not
shield a defendant that was in control of the improvement to real
property at the time of the incident giving rise to the cause of
action, and did not apply to diseases with extended latency
periods, such as those associated with asbestos exposure.

According to the court, the language of the law was "unequivocal,"
providing that "in no event shall [an action of tort for damages
covered herein] be commenced more than six years" after the earlier
of two specified dates: "(1) the opening of the improvement to use;
or (2) the substantial completion of the improvement and the taking
of possession . . . by the owner."

Setting precedent

The court said that the legislature's apparent intent "was to place
an absolute time limit on the liability of those protected by the
statute."

The court found further support for its conclusion in the fact that
the legislature had expressly provided for an exception in another,
similar statute of repose, applicable to medical malpractice
actions arising from a foreign object left in a body.

The court held that the law "completely" eliminated all tort claims
arising out of any deficiency or neglect in the design, planning,
construction, or general administration of an improvement to real
property after the established time period had run, even if the
cause of action arose from a disease with an extended latency
period and even if a defendant had knowing control of the
instrumentality of injury at the time of exposure.

The "appropriate recourse," the court concluded, was in the
legislature, "not this court."

The case is Stearns v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., No.
SJC-12544 (Mass. March 1, 2019).
