GE Interlogix, Inc., Defendants, Case No. 2:21-cv-01631-RMG
(D.S.C., June 2, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants for
negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, and wantonness.

The case arises from severe personal injuries sustained by the
Plaintiff as a result of his exposure to the Defendants' aqueous
film forming foam (AFFF) products containing synthetic, toxic per-
and polyfluoroalkyl substances collectively known as PFAS. The
Defendants failed to use reasonable and appropriate care in the
design, manufacture, labeling, warning, instruction, training,
selling, marketing, and distribution of their PFAS-containing AFFF
products and also failed to warn public entities and firefighter
trainees, including the Plaintiff, who they knew would foreseeably
come into contact with their AFFF products that use of and/or
exposure to the products would pose a danger to human health. Due
to inadequate warning, the Plaintiff was exposed to toxic chemicals
and was diagnosed with kidney and prostate cancer, the suit
alleges.

3M COMPANY: Faces Davis Suit Over AFFF Products' Harmful Effects

GE Interlogix, Inc., Defendants, Case No. 2:21-cv-01630-RMG
(D.S.C., June 2, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants for
negligence, battery, inadequate warning, design defect, strict
liability, fraudulent concealment, breach of express and implied
warranties, and wantonness.

According to the complaint, the Defendants have failed to use
reasonable and appropriate care in the design, manufacture,
labeling, warning, instruction, training, selling, marketing, and
distribution of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) products
containing synthetic, toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
collectively known as PFAS. The Defendants' AFFF products are
dangerous to human health because PFAS are highly toxic and
carcinogenic chemicals and can accumulate in the blood and body of
exposed individuals. The Defendants have also failed to warn public
entities and consumers, including the Plaintiff, who they knew
would foreseeably come into contact with their AFFF products. The
Plaintiff used the Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products in
their intended manner, without significant change in the products'
condition due to inadequate warning about the products' danger. The
Plaintiff relied on the Defendants' instructions as to the proper
handling of the products, the suit alleges.

As a result of alleged exposure to the Defendants' AFFF products,
the Plaintiff was diagnosed with kidney and bladder cancer.

ADVOCARE INT'L: Court Certifies Settlement Class in Ranieri Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as LISA RANIERI and MEGAN
CORNELIUS, Individually and on Behalf of a Class of Similarly
Situated Persons, v. ADVOCARE INTERNATIONAL, L.P. Case No.
3:17-cv-00691-S (N.D. Tex.), the Hon. Judge entered an order
certifying the following Settlement Class for settlement purposes
only:

   "All AdvoCare Distributors who paid Annual Fees, purchased a
   Distributor Kit, and/or purchased products from AdvoCare between

   March 9, 2013, and May 17, 2016, who lost money from their
   participation in the AdvoCare scheme, and whose
distributorships
   were suspended without reinstatement or terminated by May 17,
   2016. Distributors who made no purchases from AdvoCare after May

   17, 2016, and paid no dues after May 17, 2016, will be
   considered terminated as of May 17, 2016. Distributors are
   determined to have lost money if the difference between (a) the

   amount they paid AdvoCare over the course of their full
   experience with AdvoCare (not just during the Class Period) is
   greater than (b) the amount AdvoCare paid them plus 65% of the
   amount they paid AdvoCare for product."

AdvoCare is an American dietary supplement company and former
multi-level marketing company that was determined by the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission to be operating a pyramid scheme.

AMAZON.COM INC: Faces Arbitration Demands Amid Class Action Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sara Randazzo, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reports that
companies have spent more than a decade forcing employees and
customers to resolve disputes outside the traditional court system,
using secretive arbitration proceedings that typically don't allow
plaintiffs to team up and extract big-money payments akin to a
class action.

Now, Amazon.com Inc. is bucking that trend. With no announcement,
the company recently changed its terms of service to allow
customers to file lawsuits. Already, it faces at least three
proposed class actions, including one brought May 18 alleging the
company's Alexa-powered Echo devices recorded people without
permission.

The retail giant made the change after plaintiffs' lawyers flooded
Amazon with more than 75,000 individual arbitration demands on
behalf of Echo users. That move triggered a bill for tens of
millions of dollars in filing fees, according to lawyers involved,
payable by Amazon under its own policies.

Amazon's decision to drop its arbitration requirement is the
starkest example yet of how companies are responding to plaintiffs'
lawyers pushing the arbitration system to its limits.

Arbitration agreements are buried in the contracts consumers sign
to do everything from buying a cellphone to using a ride-hailing
app. Many employers also require arbitration for adjudicating
issues like pay disputes or discrimination claims. The U.S. Supreme
Court has repeatedly upheld and strengthened the rights of
companies to mandate arbitration. [GN]

Certification by four months, and to amend the Scheduling Order as

ARCIMOTO INC: Portnoy Law Firm Reminds of June 18 Deadline
----------------------------------------------------------
The Portnoy Law Firm advises investors that a class action lawsuit
has been filed on behalf of Arcimoto, Inc. (NASDAQ: FUV) investors
that acquired shares between February 14, 2018 and March 22, 2021.
Investors have until June 18, 2021 to seek an active role in this

determine eligibility to participate in this action, by phone
310-692-8883 or email, or click
https://portnoylaw.com/arcimoto-inc/ to join the case.

It is alleged in this complaint that Arcimoto made false and
misleading statements to the market. Out of 422 alleged pre-orders
for Arcimoto's Fun Utility Vehicles, only 19 units were delivered
to customers. Arcimoto failed to disclose to its customers that
almost all of its FUVs were subject to a safety recall. R-Key-Moto,
Arcimoto's largest customer, was actually an undisclosed related
party owned by insider FOD Capital, LLC. In addition, Arcimoto's
partnership with HULA was an undisclosed related party transaction.
Arcimoto's public statements were false and materially misleading,
based on these facts. Investors suffered damages when the market
learned the truth about Arcimoto.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve
as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 18,
2021.

ARIZONA: Satzman Bid for Class Certification Denied w/o Prejudice
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Stacy Satzman, et al., v.
David Shinn, et al., Case No. 2:20-cv-02402-SPL-JFM (D. Ariz.), the
Hon. Judge Steven P. Logan entered an order that :

   1. The reference to the Magistrate Judge is withdrawn as to
      Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification, and the Motion is

      denied without prejudice.

   2. Deadlines for class discovery and filing a renewed motion for

      class certification will be set by separate order.

The Court said, "The Plaintiffs have not satisfied Rule 23(a)(2)'s
commonality requirement. Because Plaintiffs have not met the
commonality requirement, it is not necessary for the Court to
resolve whether the Plaintiffs have satisfied the numerosity,
typicality, and adequate-representation requirements. Accordingly,
the Court will deny without prejudice Plaintiffs' Motion for Class
Certification. Because it appears that Plaintiffs, with additional
discovery and evidence, may be able to present significant proof
that the CFM is not kosher and nutritionally deficient, the Court
will permit Plaintiffs to engage in limited discovery for purposes
of class certification according to a schedule that will be set
forth in a separate Order."

The Plaintiffs Stacy Satzman, Daniel Brinauer, and Bonnie Huffman,
who are each confined in an Arizona Department of Corrections,
Rehabilitation, and Reentry (ADCRR) prison and are represented by
counsel, filed a Complaint concerning the ADCRR's policy that
replaced the kosher religious diet with a "common fare meal," which
Plaintiffs contend is not kosher.

ARRAY TECH: Bernstein Liebhard Reminds of July 13 Deadline
----------------------------------------------------------
Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law
firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff
motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on
behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of
Array Technologies, Inc. ("Array" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ARRY)
from October 14, 2020 through May 11, 2021 (the "Class Period").
The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York alleges violations of the Securities
Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you purchased Array securities, and/or would like to discuss
your legal rights and options please visit Array Shareholder Class
Action Lawsuit or contact Joseph R. Seidman, Jr. toll free at (877)
779-1414 or Seidman@bernlieb.com

The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants
made materially false and misleading statements regarding the
Company's business. Specifically, Defendants' public offering
materials failed to adequately disclose the then-existing rise of
costs related to certain supplies such as steel, as well as the
Company's freight costs and that these were likely to have, and
were having, an adverse effect on the Company's business and
operations. The complaint also alleges that defendants made
materially false and/or misleading statements in press releases and
conference calls because defendants omitted and otherwise failed to
disclose that dating back to Q1 2020, prices of certain commodities
such as steel were increasing dramatically, and that Array was
facing increasing freight costs, and as a result of the foregoing,
the Company's positive statements about its business and operations
lacked a reasonable basis.

On May 11, 2021, after the close of trading, Array shocked the
market by reporting lower revenues year-over-year and lower margins
as a result of increased steel and shipping costs in a press
release and a Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Array also announced
that Peter Jonna had resigned from the Board of Directors effective
May 10, 2021.

On this news, Array's stock price dropped $11.49 per share to close
at $13.46 on May 12, 2021 on unusually high trading volume.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than July 13, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative
party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the
litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require
that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action,
you may remain an absent class member.

ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES: Klein Law Firm Reminds of July 13 Deadline
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Klein Law Firm announces that class action complaints have been
filed on behalf of shareholders of the following companies. There
is no cost to participate in the suit. If you suffered a loss, you
have until the lead plaintiff deadline to request that the court
appoint you as lead plaintiff.

Array Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARRY)
This lawsuit is on behalf of investors who purchased ARRY: (a)
between October 14, 2020, and May 11, 2021, inclusive and (b)
pursuant, or traceable, or both, to: (i) the registration statement
and prospectus issued in connection with the Company's October 2020
initial public offering; or (ii) the registration statement and
prospectus issued in connection with the Company's December 2020
offering; or (iii) any combination of the initial public offering,
December 2020 offering, or March 2021 offering.

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 13, 2021

Defendants repeatedly and consistently painted a materially
misleading picture of the Company's business and prospects that did
not reflect rising steel and freight costs. After the October 2020
initial public offering, the December 2020 offering and the March
2021 offering, and subsequent to the class period, Array disclosed
that it was experiencing increases in steel prices and substantial
increases in the cost of both ocean and truck freight that in turn
were having a material impact on its margins for the foreseeable
future. This caused Array to miss profit expectations and withdraw
its full-year outlook. As a result of Defendants' wrongful acts and
omissions and the precipitous decline in the market value of the
Company's securities, shareholders have suffered significant losses
and damages.

and using "garbage" acquisitions to conceal its "ill-conceived core
business." Culper Research also stated that "Aterian has been
largely unsuccessful in convincing other Amazon sellers to pay for

customer have expressed doubts regarding AIMEE's legitimacy."

(S.D.N.Y., June 2, 2021) is a class action against the Defendants
for breaches of contractual obligations and fiduciary duties,
conspiracy, and violations of the California Unfair Competition
Law, California Cartwright Act, and Sherman Act.

The case arises from the Defendants' alleged conspiracy to
unlawfully conspire to set and reset the interest rates of variable
rate demand obligations (VRDOs) issued by the Plaintiff and Class
members. The Plaintiff and Class members contract with, and hire,
financial institutions to manage the issuance, sale, repurchase,
and resetting of interest rates of VRDOs. The Defendants' actions
resulted in the Plaintiff and the Class members not receiving the
services for which they had paid and paying higher rates of
interest than they should have; and ultimately, the Defendants'
actions led to less money being available to a multitude of
California public entities to finance their projects, initiatives,
and operations, says the suit.

BARNSTORMERS BASKETBALL: Bid for Class Cert. Tossed w/o Prejudice
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JOHN DOE, and all others
similarly situated, v. GREGORY SCOTT STEPHEN, BARNSTORMERS
BASKETBALL, INC. d/b/a BARNSTORMERS BASKETBALL OF IOWA, AMATEUR
ATHLETIC UNION OF THE UNITED STATES, INC., and ADIDAS AMERICA,
INC., Case No. 3:20-cv-00005-JAJ-SHL (S.D. Iowa), the Hon. Judge
John J. Jarvey entered an order:

   1. denying the Plaintiff's motion for class certification
      without prejudice:

      "All minor Barnstormer Basketball, Inc. participants
      (including those who attended Barnstormer Basketball, Inc.'s

      organized tryouts and were offered a spot on the Iowa
      Mavericks) in the United States from 2005 to present who have

      been identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
      Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations, and/or the United

      States Attorney's Office, as victims of the crimes to which
      Gregory Scott Stephen has admitted his guilt, and suffered
      damages as a result of Gregory Scott Stephen's intrusion upon

      seclusion;"

   2. directing the Plaintiff to revise the proposed class and
      submit new briefing based on the revised class within 30 days

      of the issuance of this order;

   3. directing the Defendant BBI to respond to Plaintiff's updated

      class and briefing within 10 days of the filing of the
      Plaintiff's updated class and briefing.

The Court concludes the Plaintiff's proposed class is overbroad and
denies Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification without
prejudice. The Plaintiff shall have the opportunity to recraft his
proposed class. In revising his proposed class, the Plaintiff shall
keep the following in mind. First, the Court will not certify a
class that includes minor basketball players who played for the
Iowa Mavericks but did not play on a BBI team. Second, the Court
will not certify a class that includes minor basketball players who
tried out for a BBI team but did not actually play on a BBI team.
Third, the Court will not certify a class that includes minor
basketball players who only played on a BBI team at a time when
Stephen was not coaching for BBI. Meaning, the class cannot include
minor basketball players who only played on a BBI team during
Stephen's two-season absence or after BBI terminated him. Finally,
the Court will not define the class based on a list of victims who
were identified by the FBI, the Iowa Department of Criminal
Investigations, or the U.S. Attorney's Office in the criminal case
against Stephen. The Court will not certify a class based on a list
that the parties may not be entitled to receive and that the Court
may not be inclined or have the power to produce.

BBI is an Iowa, nonprofit organization that was founded in 2004 by
Jamie Johnson, who serves as the organization's director. BBI has
several club basketball teams for youth athletes ranging from 4th
grade to 11th grade. BBI hosts yearly tryouts to select youth
athletes for its teams. BBI basketball teams travel to various
tournaments across the country to compete against other club
basketball teams.

BAYERISCHE MOTOREN: Class Action Suit Filed Over Cornering Lights
-----------------------------------------------------------------
carcomplaints.com reports that a BMW class action lawsuit alleges
2021 BMW 430i and 2021 BMW 430i xDrive vehicles have problems with
the LED headlights.

According to the lawsuit, the LED headlights are supposed to be
"cornering lights" to help BMW drivers when driving around corners
at night.

The plaintiff who sued alleges the 2021 BMW 430i and 430i xDrive
vehicles are marketed and sold as equipped with LED cornering
lights when in fact the vehicles don't have cornering lights.

"According to BMW, a Cornering Light serves as 'an extra source of
brightness around dark curves. They are activated when the front
wheels are turned, increasing visibility around corners and
illuminating otherwise hidden objects like curbs or street signs.'"
-- BMW class action lawsuit

The BMW lawsuit alleges the LED cornering lights are marketed as a
safety feature for the vehicles and drivers may rely on the
cornering lights when they don't exist.

The BMW class action alleges the Monroney stickers (window
stickers) for the 2021 BMW 430i and 430i xDrive vehicles
specifically say the LED headlight cornering lights are a standard
safety feature. And according to the plaintiff, the cornering
lights are listed under the "Safety and Security" section of the
window stickers.

The BMW class action lawsuit was filed after Florida plaintiff
Garry Porter, Jr., received a letter from the automaker.

The plaintiff purchased a 2021 BMW 430i in December 2020 believing
the vehicle was equipped with LED cornering headlights. But in
January 2021, the plaintiff received the BMW letter which said his
vehicle did not have cornering lights.

Contrary to the window sticker, the BMW vehicle is equipped with
standard LED headlights and not the cornering lights listed on the
window sticker.

The class action alleges the plaintiff contacted BMW in April about
the missing cornering lights feature but the plaintiff says, "BMW
refused to provide any assistance to him."

The plaintiff says his LED headlights will not provide the
advertised and promised brightness around dark curves.

BMW designed and manufactured the vehicles and allegedly knew or
should have known the 2021 BMW 430i and BMW 430i xDrive vehicles
did not contain LED cornering headlights.

The BMW class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of New Jersey: Garry Porter, Jr., v. BMW of North
America, LLC. [GN]


BOINGO WIRELES: July 9 Lead Plaintiff Motion Deadline Set
---------------------------------------------------------
Monteverde & Associates PC on June 1 disclosed that it has filed a
class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California, David Normand v. Boingo Wireless,
Inc. et al, Docket No. 2:21-cv-03626, on behalf of public common
shareholders of Boingo Wireless, Inc., who held Boingo securities
as of the record date April 16, 2021 (the "Class Period"), and have
been harmed by Boingo's and its board of directors' alleged
violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") regarding the acquisition of
Boingo by Digital Colony Management, LLC (the "Merger"). Under the
terms of the Merger, each share of Boingo common stock will be
canceled and converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash
(the "Merger Consideration"). The complaint alleges that the Merger
Consideration harms Boingo shareholders by providing less than the
inherent value of the Company and that the Proxy Statement filed by
the Company to solicit shareholder approval of the Merger misleads
shareholders about the Company's financials and the Merger in
violation of the Exchange Act. The special meeting of Boingo
stockholders to vote on the Merger is currently scheduled for June
1, 2021.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than July 9, 2021. Any member of the putative class may move
the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their
choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class
member.

In the class action lawsuit captioned as STEVE R. ROJAS and ANDREA
N. ROJAS, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly
situated, v. BOSCH SOLAR ENERGY CORPORATION; and DOES 1-20,
inclusive, Case No. 5:18-cv-05841-BLF (N.D. Cal.), the Plaintiffs
ask the Court to enter an order certifying a class defined as
follows (also to include a California subclass for unjust
enrichment):

   "All persons or entities in the United States who are the
   consumers, final customers, end users, subsequent buyers, and
   subsequent owners of Bosch solar panels module number NA3Oll9."

The Plaintiffs Steve and Andrea Rojas seek to certify a nationwide
class of end users and 4 subsequent purchasers of ground- and
roof-mounted Bosch NA3O 119 Solar Modules.

This case arises from Bosch's manufacture of defective solar
modules; Bosch's refusal to include ground-mounted 119 modules in
their product recall; and Bosch's unprincipled rejection of the
Plaintiffs' legitimate warranty claim regarding 42 ground-mounted
119 modules installed at the Plaintiffs' residence.

Bosch Solar manufactures silicon-based photovoltaic products and
solar cells.

A copy of the Plaintiffs' motion to certify class dated May 24,
2021 is available from PacerMonitor.com at https://bit.ly/34Q7DB4

CANOO INC: Kaskela Law Announces Securities Class Action
--------------------------------------------------------
Kaskela Law LLC on June 2 disclosed that a shareholder class action
lawsuit has been filed against Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ:GOEV) ("Canoo"),
formerly known as Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV (NASDAQ:
HCAC) ("Hennessy Capital"), on behalf of investors who purchased or
acquired GOEV or HCAC securities between August 18, 2020 and March
29, 2021 (the "Class Period").

On August 18, 2020, Hennessy Capital, a publicly traded Special
Purpose Acquisition Company, announced that it had entered into a
definitive agreement to merge with Canoo. According to the
complaint, in connection with and following the Hennessey Capital -
Canoo merger, defendants issued a series of false and misleading
statements to investors, and failed to disclose that (i) Canoo had
decreased its focus on its plan to sell vehicles to consumers
through a subscription model; (ii) Canoo would deemphasize its
engineering services business; (iii) contrary to prior statements,
Canoo did not have partnerships with original equipment
manufacturers and no longer engaged in the previously announced
partnership with Hyundai; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing,
the defendants' positive statements about Canoo's business,
operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked
a reasonable basis.

On March 29, 2021, Canoo held an earning conference call with
investors to discuss the Company's Fourth Quarter 2020 financial
and operational results. During the call, defendant Tony Aquila - a
director of Canoo since the closing of the Merger - revealed that
Canoo would no longer focus on its engineering services line. Also
on March 29, 2021, Canoo reported that defendant Paul Balciunas,
the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), had resigned.
Following this news, shares of Canoo's stock fell over 21% in
value, to close on March 30, 2021 at $9.30 per share, on heavy
trading volume.

Canoo investors who purchased or acquired GOEV or HCAC securities
prior to October 27, 2020are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC

INC., a Delaware corporation; CLASSIC RESIDENCE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP, an Illinois limited partnership; and CC-DEVELOPMENT
GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation, Case No. 5:14-cv-00750-EJD
(N.D. Cal.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order:

   1. certifying the proposed Class defined as:

      "All current and former residents of the Vi at Palo Alto who
      entered into a residency contract which states that some
      portion of the entrance fee is repayable at the earlier of

CHURCHILL CAPITAL: Thornton Law Firm Reminds of July 6 Deadline
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Thornton Law Firm alerts investors that a class action lawsuit
has been filed on behalf of investors of Churchill Capital Corp IV
(NYSE:CCIV). Investors who purchased CCIV stock or other securities
between January 11, 2021 and February 22, 2021 may contact the
Thornton Law Firm's investor protection team by visiting
www.tenlaw.com/cases/Churchill for more information. Investors may
also email investors@tenlaw.com or call 617-531-3917.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: www.tenlaw.com/cases/Churchill

The complaint alleges that on February 22, 2021, a merger agreement
was announced between Churchill, a special purpose acquisition
company and Lucid, an American automotive company specializing in
electric cars. The transaction equity value was estimated at $11.75
billion. Churchill's share price closed at $57.37. It is alleged
that Lucid announced the production of its debut car would be
delayed until at least the second half of 2021, with no definite
date set for delivery of an actual vehicle. It is also alleged that
Lucid was projecting the production of only 557 vehicles in 2021,
rather than the 6,000 it had been touting before the merger
announcement.

Interested CCIV investors have until July 6, 2021 to retain counsel
and apply to be a lead plaintiff if they are interested to do so. A
lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other investor class members
in managing the class action. Investors do not need to be a lead
plaintiff in order to be a class member. If investors choose to
take no action, they can remain an absent class member. The class
has not yet been certified. Until certification occurs, investors
are not represented by an attorney. Thornton Law Firm is not
currently representing a plaintiff who filed a complaint but is
investigating the case on behalf of investors interested in being a
lead plaintiff.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: Settles Class Action Over Retirement Plans
----------------------------------------------------------------
Irie Sentner, writing for Columbia Spectator, reports that Columbia
settled for $13 million in a class-action lawsuit over the
management of its employee retirement plans six days before the
case was set to go to trial. In Cates, et al. v. Trustees of
Columbia University, et al., one of the first cases scheduled to go
to trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York
following the lockdown, the plaintiffs alleged that the
University's 403(b) retirement plan—the nonprofit version of a
401(k)—breached its fiduciary duties.

In August 2016, a Jane Doe plaintiff and Chandra Cates, an
administrative assistant at the Columbia School of Nursing, filed
separate complaints against the University seeking equitable relief
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, a federal labor
law regulating pension and retirement plans. The lawsuit alleged
that Columbia's retirement plan allowed for prohibited transactions
"by including numerous unnecessarily expensive and underperforming
investment options" and "paying unreasonable recordkeeping fees to
the Plans' recordkeepers." The University denies these
allegations.

The trial was set to begin on April 12, but on April 6, both
parties came to a tentative settlement. The plaintiffs were
represented by Jerome Schlichter, founding and managing partner of
Schlichter Bogard & Denton LLP, a St. Louis-based law firm.
According to the law firm's press release, "The settlement terms
include the creation of a $13 million settlement fund for [the
entire class], as well as substantial non-monetary relief involving
changes in the 403(b) plan."

Schlichter Bogard & Denton LLP has filed similar lawsuits against
20 universities including Brown University and the University of
Pennsylvania. The suits represent the retirement benefits for at
least 470,000 nationwide university employees and over $64 billion
in plan assets.

Columbia is the latest in a long list of these universities to
settle, with similar concessions being made at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology for $18.1 million, Vanderbilt University
for $14.5 million, and Johns Hopkins University for $14 million.
Only one case, which was brought against New York University, went
to trial, and the judge ruled against the plaintiffs.

The University continues to deny any breach of fiduciary duty
regarding its retirement plans. After the initial lawsuit was filed
alleging unfairly high administrative rates, the University capped
administrative costs to a flat fee and returned any surplus funds.

"Although the University does not agree with any of the allegations
made in this case, we are pleased to be able to put this litigation
behind us and to continue to focus on providing University
employees with quality plans that provide them the opportunity to
build individualized retirement portfolios that are diversified and
suit their individual needs," the University said in a statement to
Spectator.

In order for the plaintiffs to receive the settlement, the court
first must undertake a preliminary approval, send notice to the
entire class, and perform a hearing for final approval—a process
that will likely extend into the next year. However, Schlichter
said he believes the proposed changes to the University's 403(b)
plan—including continuing to use an independent consultant to
make recommendations and prohibiting the recordkeeper from selling
plan participants other investment services—are even more
valuable than the $13 million settlement fund.

"The changes for the future we expect will go on for many, many
years and will create significant value over a period of far more
than the past years," Schlichter said.

Schlichter has led his firm's crusade for more equitable retirement
plans. He attributes his work to a paradigm shift in the American
retirement system, where the 401(k) and 403(b) replaced the pension
plan as the preeminent retirement model. Under this structure, the
employee's money holds more risk, while the employer is more
protected.

"So if a market, for example, goes down, there's nobody making [up]
that difference," Schlichter said. "That's just less money for the
employee."

In 2016, after a slew of 401(k) cases were brought against
corporations, Schlichter Bogard & Denton LLP transitioned to
pursuing legal action against the retirement plans of some of the
nation's largest and wealthiest private universities. Nearly five
years later, nine have settled for over $75 million combined.

"We're pleased that the employees and retirees of Columbia will be
compensated for the past and have a very strong plan for the future
that will enable them to build their retirement investments,"
Schlichter said.

Chandra Cates, the plaintiff, and Brantley Webb and Michelle
Webster, members of the University's legal council, could not be
reached for comment at the time of publication. [GN]

CONTEXTLOGIC INC: Faces Hoang Suit Over Drop in Share Price

OPPENHEIMER & CO. INC., STIFEL; NICOLAUS & COMPANY; L.L.C.; ACADEMY
SECURITIES, INC.; LOOP CAPITAL MARKETS LLC; and R. SEELAUS & CO.;
LLC, Defendants, Case No. 3:21-cv-03930 (N.D. Cal., May 25, 2021)
is an action by the Plaintiff and the Class who purchased
securities between December 16, 2020 to May 12, 2021, inclusive
(the "Class Period"), and who were damaged thereby (the "Exchange
Act Class").

According to the complaint, in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus used to effectuate its IPO and throughout the Class
Period, the Defendants made materially false and misleading
statements about: (1) the "differentiated user experience,"
ContextLogic repeatedly credited as driving the wide-adoption of
the Wish platform by customers who are offered access to
high-quality merchants, selling affordable, high-quality products,
and merchants who are offered reliable logistical services; (2) the
Company's sales and marketing engine, which ContextLogic said it
would "continue to invest in" and that purportedly serves as a
competitive advantage in attracting new users and increasing user
engagement on the Wish platform; and (3) the Company's monthly

CREDIT SUISSE: Portnoy Law Firm Reminds of June 15 Deadline
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Portnoy Law Firm advises investors that a class action lawsuit
has been filed on behalf of Credit Suisse Group AG (NYSE: CS)
investors that acquired shares between October 29, 2020 and March
31, 2021. Investors have until June 15, 2021 to seek an active role
in this litigation.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, to
determine eligibility to participate in this action, by phone
310-692-8883 or email, or click here to join the case.

It is alleged in this complaint that Credit Suisse issued
materially false and misleading statements in regard to their
business metrics and financial prospects. Specifically, Credit
Suisse concealed material defects in Credit Suisse's risk policies
and procedures, as well as compliance oversight functions and
efforts to allow high-risk clients to take on excessive leverage,
which exposed Credit Suisse to billions of dollars in losses. As a
result of Credit Suisse's false statements, their ADRs traded at
artificially inflated prices, reaching a high of $14.95 per ADR by
February 2021. Subsequently, Credit Suisse revealed billions of
dollars in losses in relation to the collapse of its
Greensill-linked funds, as well as the implosion of total return
swap positions the company had entered into with Archegos. Grave
deficiencies were revealed by these corporate scandals in Credit
Suisse's risk and compliance activities, which caused the price of
Credit Suisse ADRs to plummet, by March 31, 2021 reaching a low of
just $10.60 per ADR.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve
as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 15,
2021.

transaction information.

corporate wrongdoing. The Firm's founding partner has recovered
over $5.5 billion for aggrieved investors. Attorney advertising.

Defendants.

Civ. No. 2:16-cv-10089-AJT-RSW
CLASS ACTION
SUMMARY NOTICE OF PROPOSED
SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION

TO: ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES THAT PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED
ESPERION THERAPEUTICS, INC. ("ESPERION" OR THE "COMPANY") COMMON
STOCK FROM AUGUST 18, 2015 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 28, 2015, INCLUSIVE
("CLASS" OR "CLASS MEMBERS"), AND WERE ALLEGEDLY DAMAGED THEREBY

THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER
SOLICITATION.
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on August 23,
2021, at 3:00 p.m., before the Honorable Arthur J. Tarnow at the
Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse, 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., Detroit, MI
48226, or at such other location or via telephonic or video
appearance as determined by the Court, to determine whether: (1)
the proposed settlement (the "Settlement") of the above-captioned
action as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement
("Stipulation")1 for $18,250,000 should be approved by the Court as
fair, reasonable and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under
the Stipulation should be entered to dismiss the above-captioned
action with prejudice; (3) to award Class Counsel attorneys' fees
and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice
of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action ("Notice"),
which is discussed below) and, if so, in what amounts; (4) the

their representation of the Class pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Sec.

those Persons or entities who purchased or acquired Esperion common

2015, inclusive, against Esperion and Tim Mayleben (collectively,
"Defendants") for, among other things, allegedly misstating and
omitting material facts about information concerning the drug
approval process for Esperion's cholesterol-lowering drug. The

misleading statements inflated the price of Esperion stock,
resulting in damage to Class Members when the truth was revealed.
Defendants deny all of the Class Representatives' allegations.

FISHER PRINTING: Employee Sues Over COVID-19 Expenses & Violations
------------------------------------------------------------------
natlawreview.com reports that spotlight on COVID-19 related
workplace litigation involves a persistent trend: a plaintiff
bringing a class action alleging that she and her fellow employees
were not properly reimbursed for necessary business expenses. The
plaintiff further alleges that she and her fellow employees were
not provided with lawful meal breaks, lawful rest breaks, accurate
itemized wage statements, and payment of wages upon termination.
This complaint is yet another chapter in the same old story -- a
plaintiff combining COVID-19 related allegations with unrelated
wage and hour allegations.

In Gonzalez v. Fisher Printing, Inc., the plaintiff brought a class
action on behalf of herself and all non-exempt employees. With
regard to COVID-19, the plaintiff alleges the defendant pressured,
encouraged, and required employees to purchase masks to prevent
transmission from COVID-19 and to perform their jobs, but failed to
reimburse employees for the expense. According to the plaintiff, by
not reimbursing employees for this purported business expense, the
defendant violated the California Labor Code.  

Unrelated to the COVID-19 claims, again on behalf of a putative
class of non-exempt employees, the plaintiff also brings a host of
California state law wage and hour violations, including meal break
and rest break violations, inaccurate wage statements, and failure
to pay employee wages upon termination.

Over the last year, we have seen how COVID-19 claims can expose
employers to potential liability for all kinds of other workplace
employment issues. As COVID-19 restrictions begin to change,
employers should be engaging counsel to review their employment
policies and practices to avoid similar jams.

GILES COUNTY, TN: Court Okays $2MM Class Action Settlement
----------------------------------------------------------
Anita Wadhwani, writing for Tennessee Lookout, reports that Karen
McNeil was arrested in 2015 for the misdemeanor offense of driving
on a revoked license in Giles County. What happened next nearly
broke her.

Sentenced to four months of probation under the supervision of a
private, for-profit company, McNeil's life soon revolved around the
demands of her probation officer.

Charged fees she could not afford, McNeil was threatened with
re-arrest if she did not pay. She lost her home after paying fees
instead of rent. Then she sold even the tent she was living in.
McNeil relies solely on disability payments and food stamps for
income. The officer insisted on in-person check ins. McNeil often
had to walk the three miles from her home to the probation office.

When she missed monthly payments, her probation officer had her
rearrested. Convicted of violating probation, she was sentenced to
more months of probation -- a cycle that was on repeat. McNeil was
also subject to repeated random drug testing, often in an open
bathroom in the presence of a male probation officer. Each drug
test came with a price tag that McNeil was also expected to pay.

The four months of probation stretched to more than two years.

"I never thought I'd ever be off it," said McNeil, who is now 56.
She cried at times as she recalled the experience. "Every time I
was supposed to be off, they'd find something to violate me. It was
something I'll never forget.

"It hurt me, my mind, the rest of my life because of the
humiliation I went through, the shame. People would see me walking
to probation on my oxygen. What really bothered me was having male
officers when I got drug tested."

Giles County officials have now agreed to end the use of private
probation companies as part of a $2 million settlement over claims
in a 2017 lawsuit that their tactics amounted to an "illegal
extortion scheme."

The class action lawsuit, with McNeil named as one of the
plaintiffs, said the two companies operating in the county
"transformed the county's misdemeanor probation system into a
machine for generating their own profit on the backs of Giles
County's most impoverished residents."

When people could not afford the fees, they faced re-arrest for
probation violations that often came with the requirement to post
even more money for bail to secure release. They also faced
extended probation sentences or additional conditions, raising
their debts even more. Probationers were routinely threatened with
jail time if they could not pay. People sold their possessions,
went without medications, skipped rent and -- like McNeil -- became
homeless.

The 18-page agreement between Giles County and attorneys with Civil
Rights Corps -- representing about 4,000 county residents who were
subject to the misdemeanor probation system -- still needs approval
from the federal judge in the case, which is expected.

Once approved, the agreement waives all debt incurred by Giles
County residents for misdemeanor probation and requires the county
to immediately halt enforcing any outstanding warrants for
misdemeanor probation violations.

It also requires the county to stop drug testing misdemeanor
offenders not charged with drug offenses.

It requires any misdemeanor probation sentence to include an
evaluation of an individual's ability to pay fees and fines. The
county can no longer keep people on supervised probation solely due
to their inability to pay.

And the agreement prohibits Giles County from running its own
probation department funded solely on user-fees from people on
probation.

The agreement "is a recognition that the whole system was poisoned
by these probation practices," said Elizabeth Rossi, senior
attorney with Civil Rights Corps, which brought the suit.

When people could not afford fees charged by the private probation
company, they faced re-arrest for probation violations that often
came with the requirement to post even more money for bail to
secure release. Probationers were routinely threatened with jail
time if they could not pay. Female probationers were subjected to
repeated random drug testing, often in an open bathroom in the
presence of a male probation officer.
An attorney for Giles County returned a reporters' phone messages
but ultimately could not be reached for comment before
publication.

While the suit ends the reign of private probation companies in
Giles County, 25 companies continue to supervise misdemeanor
probationers in 19 other Tennessee counties, according to the
Department of Commerce & Insurance, which licenses the companies.

A lawsuit in Rutherford County, also brought by Civil Rights Corps,
resulted in a $14 million settlement and a requirement that county
cease using private probation companies in 2018.

The for-profit probation companies in Giles, Rutherford and other
Tennessee counties share a similar business model. They enter into
contracts, often with cash-strapped counties, to take on
misdemeanor probation services at no cost to the county. They
perform drug testing and require regular monitoring of probationers
and coordinate court mandated classes for treatment -- the cost of
which is shouldered entirely by probationers.

The companies typically agree to collect court costs of
probationers, further relieving counties of administrative and
collection responsibilities.

The companies are solely funded by the fees and charges they pass
onto probationers, incentivizing the practice of charging
additional fees and extending probation time.

"For counties in economic distress, this is attractive to them,"
said Jasmine Heiss, a project director for the Vera Institute of
Justice, which advocates for criminal justice reforms.

What counties often don't take into consideration is the cost to
them of rearresting and jailing individuals who cannot meet the
financial conditions of the private probation company, which
continues to make a profit, she said

"100 percent of the profit for these companies comes directly from
fees," she said. "It's a private industry that's essentially a
parasite."

McNeil has since gotten married and now lives with her husband in a
home inherited from her late sister. She said the probation
companies operated the way they did because "they knew they can get
by with it."

The settlement, she said, "ain't never going to make up for what
they did to me and so many of my friends."

McNeil aided lawyers with Civil Rights Corps to identify others who
were ensnared in the private probation system in Giles County. She
knew many personally, including Tanya Mitchell and her daughter,
Indya Hilfort, who lived together along with Mitchell's four
grandchildren in a mobile home in Giles county.

Mitchell, who was unemployed and in poor health, borrowed money
from friends and family to pay the $45 monthly probation fee after
her misdemeanor arrest. She was still under supervision of the
private probation company when the suit was filed.

She died before it was settled. McNeil said she wanted Mitchell
acknowledged in this story. Mitchell braved being named in the
lawsuit even as her freedom remained in the hands of her private
probation officer. [GN]


GLOBAL PLASMA: Faces Class Action Over Unsafe Ionizers
------------------------------------------------------
Renae Cassimeda, writing for World Socialist Web Site, reports that
in the interest of reopening schools as soon as possible, hundreds
of K-12 school districts, private schools, and universities across
the US have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in federal relief
funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to purchase
Needle Point Bipolar Ionizers (NBPIs), supposedly to clean indoor
air and kill coronavirus particles.

Despite their lofty claims to neutralize virus particles, recent
independent studies show that NBPIs do not improve indoor air
quality. A recently filed class action lawsuit consolidates the
science by air quality experts and puts forward strong refutations
against the claims made by manufacturers, and echoed by hundreds of
districts and campuses across the country, that NBPIs are safe and
remove pathogens including SARS-CoV-2 from the air.

Michael Mills, one of the attorneys on the case, told the World
Socialist Web Site, "The evidence is overwhelming. We are convinced
we are right. I don't know how districts can continue to use these
products. If teachers or students get sick, these districts have
zero protection."

The lawsuit was filed last month against Global Plasma Solutions
(GPS), a top selling manufacturer of NBPIs. The suit charges the
company with fraud and claims the company used false, deceptive and
misleading claims to sell its products and capitalize from the
COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the mad dash to reopen schools, ionizers have been
installed in classrooms, school buses, offices, gymnasiums and
cafeterias, providing a false sense of protection from COVID-19.
Furthermore, harmful byproducts produced by the technology place
the health and safety of millions of students and staff at
heightened risk.

GPS and other manufacturers of NBPIs claim that their ionizers
remove over 99 percent of SARS-CoV-2 particles from the air.
However, a recent peer reviewed study led by three universities
revealed that NBPIs had an entirely negligible effect on removing
the airborne particles of coronavirus and only reduced 20-30
percent of the virus from surfaces.

Dr. Delphine Farmer, a leading researcher in the study, recently
explained to the WSWS that ionizers do not actually accomplish
their "bold claims" in real world settings. GPS based its claims of
a 99 percent removal of coronavirus from the air on a
company-funded study conducted in a shoe box-sized container (not a
room or classroom). Instead of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 particles in
the air, the devices instead produce volatile organic compounds
(VOCs).

According to the lawsuit, independent studies cited in the case
documents show that the products are not only ineffective at
cleaning the air in real world conditions, but byproducts from the
devices include the following harmful toxins:

Acetone: long-term exposure can produce damage to kidneys, liver,
skin, central nervous system and reproductive system.

Ethanol: chronic intermittent ethanol vapor exposure produces
widespread significant tissue injury including hepatic, pulmonary,
and cardiovascular changes.

Toluene: long-term inhalation of toluene can cause permanent damage
to the brain, muscles, heart, and kidneys.

Butyraldehyde: inhalation of Butyraldehyde can irritate the lungs,
causing coughing and shortness of breath, while higher exposures
can cause a pulmonary edema.

In addition to the above toxins, Dr. Marwa Zaatari, a mechanical
engineer, expert on indoor air quality and member of the American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) epidemic task force, also warns that ionizers have been
shown to produce ozone and formaldehyde.

GPS and other companies selling these "snake oil" ionizer devices
have profited tremendously off of the COVID-19 pandemic. According
to the lawsuit documents, GPS, which was founded in 2008, had a
previous focus on "providing energy savings solutions. However,
when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the company's focus shifted, and in
CEO Glenn Brinckman's words, 'it's all about pathogens and
coronavirus and COVID-19.'"

ActivePure Technology, which employs former Trump adviser
Dr. Deborah Birx as its chief medical and science adviser, is
another company profiting from ionizers. A recent LinkedIn job ad
for the company recruiting salespeople stated, "Make Tons of Money
with this COVID-killing Technology!! . . . We have reps [who] made
over 6-figures in 1 month selling to 1 school district." Foaming at
the mouth over the profits to be made, the ad exclaims, "By the
way, the company is expanding by triple digits each month and this
is just the tip of the iceberg!"

These technologies are being utilized by districts to provide a
false sense of security and reassurance to concerned students,
staff and parents who have faced a relentless barrage of propaganda
to send them back to unsafe classrooms. Significantly, when a
recent statement from Columbia County School District in Georgia
announced masks are no longer a requirement in classrooms,
officials sought to reassure their community that the continued use
of ionizers in classrooms and on buses would provide adequate
protection from COVID-19.

The installation of ionizers also solves another issue for
districts, as they are far less costly and have no industry
standards compared to proven mitigation strategies for improving
indoor air quality, such as updating Heating, Ventilation and
Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems, using Merv-13 filters, and
operating HVAC systems at high efficiency in order to ensure at
least five complete air exchanges per hour.

The lawsuit itself shows that opposition among parents, educators,
and students has emerged in response to haphazard reopening
campaigns which have allowed schools and workplaces to transform
into sites of spread and infection of the virus.

Concerned parents of Montclair Public Schools in New Jersey
expressed opposition to the use of GPS ionizers in classrooms
during an April school board meeting. Parents cited independent
scientific papers, articles and letters from experts in air
quality, and in response the district disconnected the devices
until further notice.

Superintendent Mark Triplett of Newark Unified School District in
California recently announced the district will turn off all 556
ionizers it installed from GPS until further notice. According to
local news media, Triplett sent an email to the entire district on
June 1, saying the district had "been made aware" of a proposed
class action lawsuit filed against Global Plasma Solutions in
Delaware.

The San Diego Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee has called
for ionizers to be shut off in the Sweetwater Union High School
District, and urges educators, parents and students across the US
and globally to form similar committees to fight for safety and the
defense of public education. All educators and workers concerned
with placing the highest levels of safety in classrooms and
workplaces should contact the WSWS today to build a committee in
your schools and district. [GN]

GOOGLE LLC: Judge Certifies Gender Pay Discrimination Class Action
------------------------------------------------------------------
Joel Rosenblat, writing for Insurance Journal, reports that
Alphabet Inc.'s Google failed to persuade a judge to block
class-action status for a gender-pay disparity lawsuit brought on
behalf of almost 11,000 women.

A San Francisco state judge certified the class action on May 27,
allowing the four lead plaintiffs to represent 10,800 women over
claims that Google pays men more for doing the same job. A
previously disclosed analysis showed that the case seeks more than
$600 million in damages. The women allege violations of
California's Equal Pay Act, one of the strongest measures of its
kind nationwide.

"This is a significant day for women at Google and in the
technology sector, and we are so proud of our brave clients for
leading the way," Kelly Dermody, a lawyer representing the women,
said in an email. "This order shows that it is critical that
companies prioritize paying women equitably over spending money
fighting them in litigation."

Dermody said the next move is to get the case to trial, which she
expects could start in 2022.

Google said that for the past eight years it has conducted an
analysis to ensure salaries, bonuses and equity awards are fair.
"If we find any differences in proposed pay, including between men
and women, we make upward adjustments to remove them before new
compensation goes into effect," the company said in an emailed
statement.

Last year, 2,352 employees were paid more "across nearly every
demographic category," according to Google.

The decision follows a similar ruling last year in a case against
Oracle Corp. Women at other technology companies who have turned to
the courts to transform their pay and treatment in the workplace
have faced difficulty gaining traction, just like their female
counterparts in more traditional industries, from retail to
finance. The U.S. Supreme Court set a high bar in its 2011 decision
that blocked 1.5 million female workers at Walmart Inc. from
pursuing their discrimination claims as a group.

Female engineers at both Twitter Inc. and Microsoft Corp. failed to
win class-action status for their gender-bias cases and those
rulings were upheld on appeal.

The women leading the Google suit said in a July court filing that
the company paid female employees approximately $16,794 less per
year than "the similarly-situated man," citing an analysis by David
Neumark, an economist at University of California at Irvine.
"Google paid women less base salary, smaller bonuses, and less
stock than men in the same job code and location," they said.

Google is also accused in the lawsuit of violating the state's
Unfair Competition Law with a policy from 2011 to 2017 of asking
job candidates for prior salaries, perpetuating lower pay and
seniority for women. The suit was filed in 2017. The company sought
to dismiss the case but a judge denied the request in 2018.

Google argued that defending itself against Equal Pay Act claims in
a class-action case requires "boundless individualized testimony"
for different kinds of work performed by more than 33,000
employees.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Y.S. Cheng disagreed. For
work to be "substantially similar" under the Equal Pay Act, Cheng
wrote, "jobs do not need to be identical or require exactly the
same duties."

In February, Google agreed to pay almost $2.6 million to settle
U.S. Labor Department allegations that the technology company
potentially underpaid thousands of female workers in software
engineering positions, and discriminated against women and Asian
job applicants.

The case is Ellis v. Google Inc., CGC-17-561299, California
Superior Court, San Francisco County.

According to the complaint, on June 10, 2020, Grubhub announced
that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Just
Eat Takeaway.com (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to
which Grubhub shareholders will receive newly issued American
depositary shares ("ADS") of Just Eat Takeaway.com common stock,
representing 0.6710 shares of the share capital of Just Eat
Takeaway.com, for each Grubhub common share that they own (the
"Merger Consideration").

On May 12, 2021, Grubhub filed a Schedule 14A Definitive Proxy
Statement (the "Proxy") with the SEC. The Proxy is materially
deficient and misleading because, inter alia, it fails to disclose
material information regarding: (i) the financial projections for
Grubhub and Just Eat Takeaway.com, as well as the financial
analyses performed by the Company's financial advisor, Evercore
Group L.L.C. ("Evercore"); and (ii) potential conflicts of interest
faced by the Company's additional financial advisor, Centerview
Partners LLC ("Centerview"). Without additional information, the
Proxy is materially misleading in violation of the federal
securities laws, the suit says.

Grubhub Inc. provides food services. The Company offers mobile
platform for restaurant pick-up and delivery orders, as well as
assists diners in searching for local restaurant, tracking the
order, and re-order for convenience. Grubhub operates within the
United States and the United Kingdom. [BN]

GRUBHUB INC: Plaintiffs in Competing Lawsuit Challenge Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Catherine Veeneman, Esq. -- cveeneman@ecjlaw.com -- of Ervin Cohen
& Jessup LLP, in an article for JDSupra, reports that a proposed
class action settlement pending in the District Court of Colorado
involving Grubhub, Inc. has been called into question by would-be
intervenors from a similar action against Grubhub pending in the
Northern District of Illinois. The Colorado case, CO Craft LLC dba
Freshcraft v. GrubHub Inc., Case No. 1:20-cv-01327 (D. Colo) was
filed by plaintiff Freshcraft on May 11, 2020, alleging a single
cause of action against Grubhub for violation of the Lanham Act.
Freshcraft alleges that Grubhub falsely advertised on its platform
that certain restaurants not partnered with Grubhub were either
closed or not accepting online orders so as to steer customers to
competing restaurants that were partnered with Grubhub. Freshcraft
initially sought to recover both damages and injunctive relief on
behalf of a class of similarly situated restaurant owners.

In October 2020, a parallel lawsuit, Lynn Scott, LLC et al. v.
Grubhub Inc., Case No. 20-6334 (N.D. Ill), was filed against
Grubhub in the Northern District of Illinois by Lynn Scott, LLC and
The Farmer's Wife, LLC, restaurant owners in North Carolina and
California respectively. Similar to the Freshcraft action, the
Scott plaintiffs allege a single cause of action for violation of
the Lanham Act. Unlike the Freshcraft action, however, the Scott
plaintiffs took a trademark angle, alleging that Grubhub violated
the Lanham Act by adding popular local restaurants to their site
and using the restaurants' names and logos without permission. The
Scott plaintiffs seek both damages and injunctive relief.

In early 2021, Freshcraft and Grubhub announced that they had
reached a class-wide settlement and would seek approval of the
settlement from the court. The proposed settlement provides
injunctive relief only. Specifically, Grubhub would agree to
institute a self-help page for affected restaurants to claim
ownership over their restaurant's page on Grubhub by either
requesting alterations to the information included on the page or
removal from Grubhub's site entirely. Additionally, Grubhub would
alter the language of each restaurant's landing page to clarify
that the restaurant does not accept orders through Grubhub, as
opposed to not accepting orders at all. Grubhub also agreed to add
a disclaimer on each landing page. In return, the putative class
would release all equitable claims under the Lanham Act. The
settlement expressly excludes claims for actual damages from the
release.

Upon reaching a settlement agreement in the Freshcraft matter,
Grubhub promptly filed and obtained a stay of the Scott action
pending resolution of the Colorado action. The Scott plaintiffs
have now filed a motion to intervene in the Freshcraft action,
arguing that, in light of the fact that the putative class in
Freshcraft was only recently expanded to include their trademark
claims, further discovery was necessary to determine whether the
settlement fairly considers such claims. The Scott plaintiffs have
also filed an opposition to the Freshcraft parties' motion for
preliminary approval of the settlement.

The court in Freshcraft has yet to rule on either the Motion to
Intervene or the Motion for Preliminary Approval. A positive
outcome for the Scott Plaintiffs could signal a reluctance by the
court to approve a settlement with a release significantly broader
in scope than the claims in the original complaint. [GN]

MULTIPLAN CORPORATION: Bronstein Gewirtz Reminds of June 7
----------------------------------------------------------
Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class
action lawsuit has been filed against MultiPlan Corporation f/k/a
Churchill Capital Corp. III ("Churchill III") ("MultiPlan" or the
"Company") (: MPLN) and certain of its officers, on behalf of
shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired MultiPlan
securities between July 12, 2020 and November 10, 2020, inclusive
(the "Class Period") and on behalf of all holders of Churchill III
Class A common stock entitled to vote on Churchill III's merger
with and acquisition of Polaris Parent Corp. and its consolidated
subsidiaries (collectively, "MultiPlan"), which merger was
consummated in October 2020 (the "Merger"). Such investors are
encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site:
www.bgandg.com/mpln.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for
alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants
made materially false and/or misleading statements, and failed to
disclose material adverse facts to investors.

GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Signs with MultiPlan Corp MPLN.
MPLN 30-Year Financial Data
The intrinsic value of MPLN
Peter Lynch Chart of MPLN

This complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period,
Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to
disclose that: (1) MultiPlan was losing tens of millions of dollars
in sales and revenues to Naviguard, a competitor created by one of
MultiPlan's largest customers, UnitedHealthcare, which threatened
up to 35% of MultiPlan's sales and 80% of its levered cash flows by
2022; (2) sales and revenue declines in the quarters leading up to
the Merger were not due to "idiosyncratic" customer behaviors as
represented, but rather due to a fundamental deterioration in
demand for MultiPlan's services and increased competition, as
payors developed competing services and sought alternatives to
eliminating excessive healthcare costs; (3) MultiPlan was facing
significant pricing pressures for its services and had been forced
to materially reduce its take rate in the lead up to the Merger by
insurers, who had expressed dissatisfaction with the price and
quality of MultiPlan's services and balanced billing practices,
causing MultiPlan to cut its take rate by up to half in some cases;
(4) as a result, MultiPlan was set to continue to suffer from
revenues and earnings declines, increased competition and
deteriorating pricing dynamics following the Merger; (5)
consequently, MultiPlan was forced to seek continued revenue growth
and to improve its competitive positioning through pricey
acquisitions, including through the purchase of the healthcare
technology company HST for $140 million at a premium price from a
former MultiPlan executive only one month after the Merger; and (6)
as such, Churchill III investors had grossly overpaid for the
acquisition of MultiPlan in the Merger, and MultiPlan's business
was worth far less than represented to investors.

NEW DOMINION: Earthquake Class Action Lawsuit in Oklahoma Certified
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Citizens of Oklahoma that owned a residence or business real estate
property in Lincoln, Payne, Logan, Oklahoma, Cleveland,
Pottawatomie, Seminole, Okfuskee, or Creek counties in Oklahoma
between November 5th and 8th, 2011, and which property or
properties suffered earthquake damages from earthquakes near
Prague, Oklahoma on November 5th, 6th, and 8th, of 2011, are
members of a class certified only for the trial of particular
issues. The particular issues include, among others, whether New
Dominion, LLC's wastewater disposal operations caused the
earthquakes.

A class action lawsuit was filed in Lincoln County alleging that
earthquakes caused by nearby oil and gas wastewater disposal well
operations occurred near Prague, Oklahoma, on November 5th, 6th,
and 8th of 2011. More specifically, the case alleges that New
Dominion, LLC ("New Dominion") and Spess Oil Company, among others,
were responsible for these earthquakes, and alleges that the
earthquakes caused damage to properties in Lincoln, Payne, Logan,
Oklahoma, Cleveland, Pottawatomie, Seminole, Okfuskee, or Creek
counties. New Dominion denies that its operations caused these
earthquakes.

District Judge Lori Walkley, sitting by assignment for the District
Court of Lincoln County, is the presiding Judge. Judge Walkley has
not made any decisions on the merits of this case. A trial is
scheduled to begin on the particular issues that the class has been
certified for on October 18, 2021, in Judge Walkley's Courtroom at
the District Court of Cleveland County, in Norman, Oklahoma.

The trial on the particular issues will not result in an award of
damages for any member of the class or provide for punitive
damages. Instead, the purpose of the class action trial is to
determine, among other issues, whether the earthquakes near Prague
in 2011 were caused or contributed to by New Dominion. There is no
money available now and no guarantee that there ever will be.

NEW INDY: Faces Class Action Suit Over Hydrogen Sulfide Emissions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
myfox8.com reports that a new version of a class-action lawsuit
against the New Indy paper mill in Catawba has been filed. It
provides more names of more plaintiffs and more details on the
hydrogen sulfide emissions emitting from the plant.

The lead attorney Gary Mauney, Esq. explains the essence of the
nuisance claim in simple terms, "if you can't open your door
without getting sick, you can't enjoy the use of your property ."
And he says property values are plummeting for his clients because
with the houses within the radius of the odor "you can't open the
door because of the smell."

Mauney also explains how the invisible hydrogen sulfide works
saying it's "toxic" and "it doesn't take very much to get a very
substantial reaction from a human." He says his clients have
experienced naseau, migraines and those with asthma have worsened
conditions.

Still, the smell isn't the only problem. He showed us pictures of
his clients porch where it appears a foam from the hydrogen sulfide
formed appearing ash or snow-like. The SC DHEQ and EPA are
investigating the plant and ordering remediation but neither agency
is immune from potential danger.

Mauney says it's been documented that, "the teams that DHEQ and the
EPA sent out, the engineers, the scientific teams to evaluate the
degree and location of the smell, they got sick too."

New Indy has yet to respond to the lawsuit and has yet to reply to
FOX46′ request for comment on the lawsuit. [GN]


NEW YORK, NY: Faces Class Action Over Graffiti Removal Program
--------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that a New York City Police Department street
cleanup program is unconstitutionally wiping away graffiti without
asking property owners if they actually want the art buffed, an
artist said in a putative federal court class action on June 1.
Michael McLeer, an internationally known New York City street
artist, said in his complaint that the department's graffiti
removal program is violating the Visual Rights Act pertaining to a
willful destruction of a work of visual art, as well as the First
and Fourteenth Amendments. [GN]

PARKMOBILE LLC: Faces Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit in Georgia
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Margaret Carmel, writing for BoiseDev, reports that if your data
was compromised through Boise's parking app, someone is fighting
for you in court.

At the end of May, a Vermont customer of Atlanta-based parking
company ParkMobile filed suit in a Georgia federal court over a
data breach that impacted 21 million customers nationwide,
including 80,000 users in Boise. The suit alleges the breach was a
"direct and proximate result" of ParkMobile failing to implement
"basic security procedures" to protect customer information,
according to classaction.org.

The company announced the hack at the end of March, which
compromised customer email addresses, license plate numbers, phone
numbers and vehicle nicknames, if provided by the user. Hackers
also breached mailing addresses in "a small percentage of cases",
according to a company spokesman. Encrypted account passwords were
stolen during the attack, but not the keys required to read the
passwords themselves.

The company does not collect driver's license numbers, social
security numbers, or birthdays. Attackers did not steal credit card
information or parking history.

No action necessary

In the filing, the plaintiff said she spent "valuable time"
changing passwords and the hack led to numerous fraudulent emails
trying to obtain more of his personal information.

The suit hopes to represent anyone in the United States whose
personal information was breached in the incident. If the case
moves ahead and ParkMobile reaches a settlement, customers impacted
will have an opportunity to claim some compensation if the court
decides it is appropriate.

There is no action needed to join the suit. [GN]

PARKMOBILE LLC: Fails to Protect Customers' Info, George Alleges
----------------------------------------------------------------
MIRIAM GEORGE, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. PARKMOBILE, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
1:21-cv-02252-SCJ (N.D. Ga., June 1, 2021) is a class action
against the Defendant for negligence, negligence per se, and
declaratory judgment.

The case arises from the Defendant's failure to properly secure and
safeguard highly-valuable, protected personally identifiable
information (PII) of its customers, including the Plaintiff,
following a data breach. On March 26, 2021, ParkMobile announced
that it had been subject to a cybersecurity incident related to a
vulnerability in a third-party software vendor that ParkMobile
uses. As a result of the Defendant's alleged failure to implement
and follow basic security procedures, the Plaintiff and Class
members have had to spend, and will continue to spend, significant
time and money in the future to protect themselves due to
ParkMobile's actions.

ParkMobile, LLC is a company that owns and operates mobile
applications that provide parking services to users throughout the
United States, with its principal place of business 1100 Spring
Street, NW Atlanta, Georgia. [BN]

Individually and on Behalf of Others Similarly Situated, v. PELICAN
WASTE AND DEBRIS, LLC, Case No. 2:20-cv-01035-GGG-KWR (E.D. La.),

PELOTON INTERACTIVE: Pomerantz Law Reminds of June 28 Deadline
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed
against Peloton Interactive, Inc. ("Peloton" or the
"Company")(NASDAQ: PTON) and certain of its officers. The class
action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York, and docketed under 21-cv-02925, is on behalf
of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than
Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired the publicly traded
securities of Peloton between September 11, 2020 and May 5, 2021,
inclusive (the "Class Period"). Plaintiff seeks to recover
compensable damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal
securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act").

If you are a shareholder who purchased Peloton securities during
the Class Period, you have until June 28, 2021 to ask the Court to
appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the
Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this
action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or
888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who
inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address,
telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.

Peloton provides interactive fitness products such as the Peloton
Bike and the Peloton Tread+ and Tread, which include touchscreens
that stream live and on-demand classes. Peloton also provides
connected fitness subscriptions and access to live and on-demand
classes.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants
made materially false and misleading statements regarding the
Company's business, operations, and compliance policies.
Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements
and/or failed to disclose that: (i) in addition to the tragic death
of a child, Peloton's Tread+ had caused a serious safety threat to
children and pets as there were multiple incidents of injury to
both; (ii) safety was not a priority to Peloton as Defendants were
aware of serious injuries and death resulting from the Tread+ yet
did not recall or suggest a halt of the use of the Tread+; (iii) as
a result of the safety concerns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission ("CPSC") declared the Tread+ posed a serious risk to
public health and safety resulting in its urgent recommendation for
consumers with small children to cease using the Tread+; (iv) the
CPSC also found a safety threat to Tread+ users if they lost their
balance; (v) Tread featured similar safety concerns; (vi) merely
reinforcing safety warnings would be insufficient; (vii) the CPSC
and Peloton would issue a recall of the Tread+ and Tread; (viii)
issues with the Tread+ and Tread were not patchable via software
updates; (ix) Defendants were not fully cooperating with the CPSC;
(x) as opposed to Defendants' statements, CPSC statements were not
misleading or inaccurate; and (xi) as a result of the foregoing,
Defendants' statements about Peloton's business, operations, and
prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a
reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On April 17, 2021, a day the market was closed, the CPSC issued a
press release entitled "CPSC Warns Consumers: Stop Using the
Peloton Tread+" alerting the public to dangers, including death,
associated with the Peloton Tread+.

That same day, Peloton issued a press release entitled "PELOTON
REFUTES CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION CLAIMS: CPSC PUBLISHES
MISLEADING, INACCURATE BULLETIN ON TREAD+ PRODUCT SAFETY" which
attempted to rebut the CPSC's warnings.

Following these disclosures, Peloton's stock price fell $16.28 per
share, or 14%, over the next three trading days to close at $99.93
per share on April 21, 2021, damaging investors.

Then, on May 5, 2021, during market hours, the CPSC issued a
statement entitled "Statement of Acting Chairman Robert Adler on
the Recall of the Peloton Tread + and Tread" which announced that
the CPSC and Peloton had come to an agreement to protect users of
the Peloton Tread+ and Tread products, which required Peloton to
immediately stop selling and distributing both the Tread+ and Tread
products in the United States and refund the full purchase price to
consumers who wish to return their treadmills.

That same day, Peloton posted an article entitled "CPSC and Peloton
Announce: Recall of Tread+ Treadmills After One Child Death and 70
Incidents; Recall of Tread Treadmills Due to Risk of Injury" to its
website, which, among other things, acknowledged that Peloton made
a mistake in its initial response to the CPSC's request that
Defendants recall the Tread+ and should have engaged more
productively with the CPSC from the outset.

Following these disclosures, Peloton's stock price fell $14.08 per
share, or 14.56%, to close at $82.62 per share on May 5, 2021,
further damaging investors.

The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,
and Paris is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas
of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded
by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class
action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities
class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm
continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights

PHOENIX, AZ: Police Dep't Sued for Falsely Arresting Protesters
---------------------------------------------------------------
This past Friday, May 28, 2021, legendary trial civil rights
attorney William "Billy" Murphy Jr. of Murphy, Falcon & Murphy,
Martell Harris of the Trial Law Firm, and Steve Benedetta of The
People's Law Firm of Phoenix announced the filing of a lawsuit on
behalf of community organizations and activists including Black
Lives Matter Phoenix Metro and social justice activist Maxima
Guerrero.

"For years, Phoenix PD has engaged in mass human rights violations
to silence, intimidate, and attempt to disappear those demanding
change. With this lawsuit, that stops now," said Steve Benedetta,
The Peoples Law Firm.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of
Arizona alleges that Phoenix PD unconstitutionally arrested and
used excessive force against innocent citizens for decades,
identifying several instances, including a recent incident where
Phoenix PD shot pepper spray or rubber bullets into crowds of
peaceful protestors. The lawsuit alleges that on May 30, 2020,
consistent with its pattern and practice, Phoenix PD officers
arrested activist Maxima Guerrero and hundreds of individuals in
downtown Phoenix and falsely charged them with committing a felony,
using manufactured evidence.

"In my many years of experience handling civils right protest
cases, this abuse against demonstrators ranks as some of the worst.
We will seek justice on their behalf, BLACK LIVES MATTER," said
William "Billy" Murphy Jr.

Two days before the day in question, Phoenix PD, unprovoked and
without cause, declared the peaceful assembly of protestors to be
unlawful and began shooting the protestors with pepper balls,
pepper spray, tear gas, and rubber-coated bullets. All but eight
protestors disbursed, but the protestors returned the following day
for a second peaceful protest. Once again, unprovoked and without
cause, Phoenix PD declared the assembly unlawful and shot pepper
balls and tear gas to disburse the crowds. The following day,
protestors returned again. But this time, Phoenix PD did not let
the crowds disburse. They began to chase the protestors down,
rounding up and arresting 124 people for committing the crime of
being in downtown Phoenix while exercising their First Amendment
rights. The arrestees were held for hours in poorly ventilated or
unventilated transport vehicles (during a worldwide pandemic)
without access to water or restrooms, and they also spent time in
jail. All 124 individuals were charged with felony rioting with
cut-and-paste statements of probable cause. Ultimately, these
statements of probable cause were all thrown out by the judges in
front of whom the 124 individuals initially appeared.

"This department demonstrated that it has no boundaries when it
comes to abusive tactics and excessive use of force. This lawsuit
is a first step to remedying all the trauma that has been caused by
the department. But it doesn't end there. We are going to continue
to use our people power to challenge what safety really means --
because Phoenix PD doesn't keep us safe," said
Maxima Guerero.

PINTEREST INC: Kessler Topaz Meltzer Reminds of June 28 Deadline
----------------------------------------------------------------
The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP on June 1
disclosed that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been
filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California against Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE: PINS) ("Pinterest") on
behalf of those who purchased or acquired Pinterest securities
between February 4, 2021 and April 27, 2021, inclusive (the "Class
Period").

Pinterest operates a platform that provides inspiration for its
users' lives. Monthly active users ("MAUs") are the number of
Pinterest users who interact with Pinterest at least once during
the 30-day period ending on the date of measurement.

Throughout the Class Period, the defendants touted its user
engagement and growth. However, the truth was revealed on
April 27, 2021 when, after the market closed, Pinterest announced
its first quarter 2021 financial results and reported that global
monthly active users grew only 30% year-over-year to 478 million, a
decline from the prior quarter's 37% year-over-year growth.
Pinterest further announced that, "[i]n Q2, we expect global MAUs
to grow in the mid-teens and US MAUs to be around flat on a
year-over-year percentage basis."

Following this news, Pinterest's share price fell $11.25, or 14.5%,
to close at $66.33 per share on April 28, 2021.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the
defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) user growth
was already slowing; (2) as a result, Pinterest expected user
engagement to slow in the second quarter of 2021; and (3) as a
result of the foregoing, the defendants' positive statements about
Pinterest's business, operations, and prospects were materially
misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Pinterest investors may, no later than June 28, 2021, seek to be
appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through
Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, or other counsel, or may choose
to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  A lead plaintiff
is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members
in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed as a lead
plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim
is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class
member will adequately represent the class.  Your ability to share
in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not
to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP prosecutes class actions in
state and federal courts throughout the country involving
securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations
of state and federal law. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP is a
driving force behind corporate governance reform, and has recovered
billions of dollars on behalf of institutional and individual

PROVENTION BIO: Glancy Prongay Reminds of July 20 Deadline
----------------------------------------------------------
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM"), a leading national shareholder
rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been
filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired
Provention Bio, Inc. ("Provention" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PRVB)
securities between November 2, 2020 and April 8, 2021, inclusive
(the "Class Period"). Provention investors have until July 20, 2021
to file a lead plaintiff motion.

If you suffered a loss on your Provention investments or would like
to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss
under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact
information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/provention-bio-inc/.
You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150,
Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at
shareholders@glancylaw.com to learn more about your rights.

In November 2020, Provention completed the rolling submission of a
Biologics License Application ("BLA") to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") for teplizumab for the delay or prevention
of clinical T1D in at-risk individuals (the "teplizumab BLA").

On April 8, 2021, the Company published a press release
"announc[ing] that the Company received a notification on April 2,
2021 from the [FDA], stating that, as part of its ongoing review of
the Company's [BLA] for teplizumab for the delay or prevention of
clinical [T1D], the FDA has identified deficiencies that preclude
discussion of labeling and post-marketing requirements/commitments
at this time."

On this news, Provention's stock price fell $1.73 per share, or
17.78%, to close at $8.00 per share on April 9, 2021.

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period,
Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as
well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the
Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically,
Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the teplizumab
BLA was deficient in its submitted form and would require
additional data to secure FDA approval; (2) accordingly, the
teplizumab BLA lacked the evidentiary support the Company had led
investors to believe it possessed; (3) the Company had thus
overstated the teplizumab BLA's approval prospects and hence the
commercialization timeline for teplizumab; and (4) as a result,
Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and
prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a
reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Provention securities during
the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 20,
2021 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff. To be a
member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you
may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an
absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this
action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement
or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please
contact Charles Linehan, Esquire, of GPM, 1925 Century Park East,

RESORT SALES: Court Junks Albin Bid for Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as FORREST ALBIN, et al., v.
RESORT SALES MISSOURI, INC., et al., Case No. 20-03004-CV-S-BP
(W.D. Mo.), the Hon. Judge Beth Phillips entered an order denying
the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification.

The Court in its discretion finds that Plaintiffs have not
satisfied the numerosity requirement of FED. R. CIV. P. 23(a).
Because numerosity is a prerequisite to class certification, this
is an independent reason to deny their motion.

The Defendants Resort Sales Missouri and Spinnaker Resorts together
comprise a real estate development and timeshare sales company.
Some of the properties for which Defendants sell timeshares are
located in Branson, Missouri. The Plaintiffs Forrest Albin and
Katherine Albin executed a purchase agreement for a timeshare at
Defendants' property in Branson. Along with the price for the
timeshare -- totaling $22,500.00 –- thev Defendants charged
Plaintiffs a "processing fee of $400," which was purportedly to
cover "the recording of the deed, [and] the legal fees and
administrative fees to process the closing documents." The
Plaintiffs later learned that Defendants charged the same
Processing Fee to all timeshare purchasers.

ROMEO POWER: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds of June 15 Deadline
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pomerantz LLP on June 1 disclosed that a class action lawsuit has
been filed against Romeo Power, Inc. ("Romeo" or the "Company")
(f/k/a RMG Acquisition Corp.) (NYSE: RMO) and certain of its
officers. The class action, filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, and docketed under
21-cv-04058, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and
entities other than Defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired
the publicly traded securities of Romeo between October 5, 2020
through March 30, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Plaintiff
pursues claims against the Defendants under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

If you are a shareholder who purchased Romeo securities during the
Class Period, you have until June 15, 2021 to ask the Court to
appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the
Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this
action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or
888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who
inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address,
telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants
represented that for 2020 Romeo estimated revenue of $11 million,
and for 2021 Romeo estimated revenue of $140 million. Defendants
further represented that Romeo had "key partnerships" and close
relationships with LG Chem, Samsung, Murata and SK Innovation,
which manufacture battery cells, a key component in Romeo's battery
modules and packs and that they were supplying Romeo with battery
cells. Furthermore, Defendants represented that Romeo had the
capacity and supply to meet end-user demand for Romeo's products,
that Romeo was not beholden "to any level of the value chain", that
its supply was hedged, and that it did not see any material
challenges that would hamper growth.

Unknown to investors, Romeo was suffering from an acute shortage of
high quality battery cells, which are key raw materials for Romeo's
battery packs and modules, because of supply constraints. Contrary
to Defendants' representations: (i) Romeo had only two battery cell
suppliers, not four; (ii) the future potential risks that
Defendants warned of concerning supply disruption or shortage had
already occurred and were already negatively affecting Romeo's
business, operations, and prospects; (iii) Romeo did not have the
battery cell inventory to accommodate end-user demand and ramp up
production in 2021; (iv) Romeo's supply constraint was a material
hindrance to Romeo's revenue growth; and (v) Romeo's supply chain
for battery cells was not hedged, but in fact, was totally at risk
and beholden to just two battery cell suppliers and the spot market
for their 2021 inventory. Given the supply constraint that Romeo
was experiencing during the Class Period, Defendants had no
reasonable basis to represent that the Company had the ability to
meet customer demand and that it would support growth in revenue in
2021.

On March 30, 2021, after the market closed, Romeo issued a press
release and filed a report with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 8-K that disclosed its financial
results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, and
conducted a conference call with investors and analysts. Defendants
shocked investors by disclosing that the Company's production had
been hampered by a shortage in supply of battery cells and that its
estimated 2021 revenue would therefore be reduced by approximately
71-87%.

During a conference call with investors after the disclosure of
Romeo's financial results and projected results, Defendant Lionel
E. Selwood, Jr. ("Selwood, Jr.") disclosed that the Company had
been relying solely on Samsung and LG for its supply of power
cells.

On March 31, 2021, Morgan Stanley issued a research report in which
it downgraded Romeo's target price per share from $12 to $7.

Also on March 31, 2021, Romeo shares declined from a closing price
on March 30, 2021 of $10.37 per share to close at $8.33 per share,
a decline of $2.04 per share, or almost 20%, on heavier than usual
volume of over 20 million shares.

ROMEO POWER: Thornton Law Firm Reminds of June 15 Deadline

has been filed on behalf of investors of Romeo Power, Inc.
(NYSE:RMO). The case is currently in the lead plaintiff stage.

Firm's investor protection team by visiting
www.tenlaw.com/cases/RomeoPower for more information. Investors may
also email investors@tenlaw.com or call 617-531-3917.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: www.tenlaw.com/cases/RomeoPower

The case alleges that Romeo Power and its senior executives made
misleading statements to investors and failed to disclose that: (i)
Romeo Power had only two battery cell suppliers, not four; (ii) the
future potential risks that defendants warned of concerning supply
disruption or shortage had already occurred and were already
negatively affecting Romeo Power's business, operations, and
prospects; (iii) Romeo Power did not have the battery cell
inventory to accommodate end-user demand and ramp up production in
2021; (iv) Romeo Power's supply constraint was a material hindrance
to Romeo Power's revenue growth; and (v) Romeo Power's supply chain
for battery cells was not hedged, but in fact, was totally at risk
and beholden to just two battery cell suppliers and the spot market
for their 2021 inventory. It is alleged that given the supply
constraint Romeo Power had no reasonable basis to represent that it
had the ability to meet customer demand and that it would support
growth in revenue in 2021.

Interested Romeo Power investors have until June 15, 2021 to retain
counsel and apply to be a lead plaintiff if they are interested to
do so. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other investor class
members in managing the class action. Investors do not need to be a
lead plaintiff in order to be a class member. If investors choose
to take no action, they can remain an absent class member. The
class has not yet been certified. Until certification occurs,
investors are not represented by an attorney. Thornton Law Firm is
not currently representing a plaintiff who filed a complaint but is
investigating the case on behalf of investors interested in being a
lead plaintiff.

STATE STREET: Faces Gomes Suit Over Retirement Plan Mismanagement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ELIZABETH GOMES; EVA M. CONNORS; JENNIFER BOWEN; KATISHA SHOULDERS;
KENNETH N. MARENGA; PAMELA PRISCO CARPENTER; STEVEN PETERS; and
ZHANNA KARP, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiffs v. STATE STREET CORPORATION; STATE STREET BANK
& TRUST COMPANY; NORTH AMERICA REGIONAL BENEFITS COMMITTEE OF STATE
STREET CORPORATION; INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF STATE STREET
CORPORATION; and JANE and JOHN DOES 1-20, Defendants, Case No.
1:21-cv-10863 (D. Mass., May 25, 2021) alleges violation of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

According to the complaint, the Defendants were required by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") to act solely in the interest of the Plan's participants
and beneficiaries ("Participants") when making decisions with
respect to selecting and monitoring the Plan's investments, and the
fees and expenses associated with those investments.

Rather than fulfilling these fiduciary duties, among the "highest
duties known to the law," by offering the Plaintiffs and the other
investors in the Plan only prudent investment options at reasonable
cost, the Defendants allegedly selected for the Plan and repeatedly
failed to remove or replace imprudent proprietary investment funds
("State Street Funds") managed and offered by the Defendant State
Street Corporation ("State Street" or "Company") and its
subsidiaries or affiliates. These funds were not selected and
retained as the result of an impartial or prudent process, but were
instead selected and retained because the Defendants benefited
financially from their inclusion in the Plan to the detriment of
the Participants.

By choosing and then retaining these proprietary investment funds,
to the exclusion of alternative investments available in the
401(k)-plan marketplace, the Defendants enriched themselves at the
expense of their own employees. The Defendants also breached their
fiduciary duties by failing to monitor the Plan's administrative
fees, and likewise failing to consider the prudence of retaining a
poorly performing money market fund. The Defendants committed
further statutory violations by engaging in conflicted transactions
expressly prohibited by ERISA, the suit added.

TOMS KING: 6th Circuit Affirms FACTA Class Action Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------------------
Christopher P. Hahn, Esq. -- chahn@mauricewutscher.com -- of
Maurice Wutscher, disclosed that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit recently affirmed dismissal of a consumer's claims
that a retail food store violated the federal Fair and Accurate
Credit Transactions Act of 2003's "truncation requirement" by
printing more digits of the consumer's credit card than permissible
by statute.

In so ruling, the Sixth Circuit held that the alleged violation did
not establish an increased risk of identity theft, and thus, did
not satisfy Article III's injury in fact requirement to establish
standing for her FACTA claim, agreeing with the majority of the
other federal appellate courts on this issue.

The case is Thomas v. TOMS King (Ohio), LLC.

A consumer made a purchase at a fast-food restaurant location
operated by a franchisee that owns over 130 locations of the
prominent burger chain, where she allegedly received an
electronically printed receipt containing the first six and last
four digits of her credit card number.

As you may recall, FACTA was enacted in 2003 as an amendment to the
Fair Credit Reporting Act aimed to prevent identity theft, and
provides that "no person that accepts credit cards or debit cards
for the transaction of business shall print more than the last five
digits of the card number or the expiration date upon any receipt
provided to the cardholder at the point of sale or transaction." 15
U.S.C. § 1681c(g)(1) (the "truncation requirement").

The consumer filed a putative class action complaint against the
restaurant and its related corporate entities ("restaurant") on
behalf of all similarly situated customers who received allegedly
noncompliant receipts from the restaurant within two years of the
suit's filing date, alleging violations of FACTA's truncation
requirement.

The trial court dismissed the complaint without prejudice on the
basis that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the
consumer's claims because she failed to demonstrate any harm to her
identity based upon the restaurant's technical violation of FACTA,
and that allegations of hypothetical future injury were
insufficiently concrete to confer standing under Article III. The
instant appeal followed.

On appeal, the Sixth Circuit noted that, to satisfy Article III
standing requirements, a plaintiff must show (1) she suffered an
injury in fact, (2) caused by defendants, that (3) is redressable
by a judicial decision (Spokeo v. Robins, 136 S. Ct. 1540, 1547
(2016)). The appellate court further noted that the injury-in-fact
requirement is not automatically satisfied by a statutory violation
(Id., at 1549) but requires a "concrete injury even in the context
of a statutory violation." Thole v. U.S. Bank N.A., 140 S. Ct.
1615, 1620–21 (2020) (quoting Spokeo, 136 S. Ct. at 1549).

Here, the consumer contended that she suffered a concrete injury
based on a congressional grant of a statutory right and remedy. The
Sixth Circuit acknowledged that "the violation of a procedural
right granted by statute can be sufficient in some circumstances to
constitute injury in fact . . . [and] a plaintiff in such a case
need not allege any additional harm beyond the one Congress has
identified" (Spokeo, 136 S. Ct. at 1549).

However, the Sixth Circuit rejected the consumer's claim that the
risk of identity theft here constituted a concrete injury, as
consistent with the findings of other circuits presented with
identical facts (disclosure of the first six and last four digits
of the consumer's credit card). See Muransky, v. Godiva
Chocolatier, Inc., 979 F.3d 917, 928-29 (11th Cir. 2020) (en banc);
Katz v. Donna Karan Co., LLC, 872 F.3d 114, 116 (2d Cir. 2017);
Noble v. Nevada Checker Cab Corp., 726 F. App'x 582, 583 (9th Cir.
2018) (first and last four digits); see also Kamal v. J. Crew Grp.,
Inc., 918 F.3d 102, 113 (3d Cir. 2019) (Clarification Act enacted
after FACTA, which limited liability for printing the expiration
date, "also expresses Congress's judgment that not all procedural
violations of FACTA will amount to concrete harm").

The consumer further claimed that the increased risk-of-injury
constituted real harm, arguing that FACTA creates a concrete
interest "vest[ing] consumers with an interest in using their
credit and debit cards without facing an increased risk of identity
theft." See Jeffries v. Volume Servs. Am., Inc., 928 F.3d 1059,
1064 (D.C. Cir. 2019). In Jeffries, the D.C. Circuit held that the
plaintiff did suffer an injury in fact because the receipt which
contained all 16 digits and the expiration date "contained enough
information to defraud [the plaintiff]." Id., at 1067.

The Sixth Circuit reasoned that the Jeffries court found standing
because the complaint alleged sufficient fats to establish that a
violation of the statute actually caused harm or risk of harm, but
that no such risk existed here, because the consumer's complaint
failed to aver how "whether the challenged violation of [the
plaintiff's] statutory right harmed or created a ‘risk of real
harm' to the concrete interests protected by FACTA." Id., at 1065.

Moreover, the consumer here did not allege that the receipt was
lost, stolen, or seen by a third set of eyes, and while forcing her
to safeguard her receipt can be a legitimate injury, such a
hypothetical future harm is not a concrete injury. Muransky, 979
F.3d at 931 (internal quotation omitted).

Lastly, the Sixth Circuit considered the consumer's arguments that
the intangible harm caused by the purported FACTA violation was
analogous to common law torts of breach of confidence and invasion
of privacy. As the Supreme Court of the United States stated in
Spokeo, "it is instructive to consider whether an alleged
intangible harm has a close relationship to a harm that has
traditionally been regarded as providing a basis for a lawsuit in
English or American courts." 136 S. Ct. at 1549.

The Jeffries court concluded that a FACTA violation resembles a
common law breach of confidence because the truncation requirement
establishes a similar relationship of trust between consumer and
merchant by requiring the merchant to safeguard a customer's card
information (Jeffries, at 1064–65), but other circuit courts have
found no resemblance.

The Third Circuit in Kamal rejected the analogy because there was
no allegation of disclosure of the consumer's information to a
third party (Kamal, 918 F.3d at 114) while the Eleventh Circuit
found any analogy lacking based on the absence of disclosure to a
third party and lack of a confidential relationship that typically
exists between a consumer and retailer. (Muransky, at 932).

Noting that the receipt was not disclosed to a third party causing
injury or increased risk of harm, the Sixth Circuit agreed with the
Third and Eleventh Circuit's view rejecting the consumer's breach
of confidence analogy, as well as her invasion of privacy analogy
on the same basis.

Because the consumer failed to satisfy Article III's injury in fact
requirement, the trial court's dismissal of her FACTA claim was
affirmed. [GN]

VIRGIN GALACTIC: Bragar Eagel Reminds of July 27 Deadline
---------------------------------------------------------
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder
rights law firm, on June 2 disclosed that a class action lawsuit
has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York on behalf of investors that purchased Virgin
Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) securities between October 26,
2019 and April 30, 2021, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period").
Investors have until July 27, 2021 to apply to the Court to be
appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Virgin Galactic is an integrated aerospace company that develops
human spaceflight for private individuals and researchers in the
U.S.

On October 25, 2019, post-market, Virgin Galactic was formed via a
business combination between Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings
Corp. ("SCH"), a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC"), and
the Company's then-private predecessor ("Legacy Virgin Galactic"),
after which SCH changed its name to "Virgin Galactic Holdings,
Inc." and its ticker symbol to "SPCE" (the "Business
Combination").

On April 12, 2021, the SEC issued guidance advising that SPAC
warrants, which are instruments that allow investors to buy
additional shares at a fixed price, may need to be classified as
liabilities rather than equity for many SPAC transactions, which
had previously been accounted for as equity in these deals.

Throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and
misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations,
and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or
misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) for
accounting purposes, SCH's warrants were required to be treated as
liabilities rather than equities; (ii) Virgin Galactic had
deficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting; (iii) as a result, the Company improperly
accounted for SCH warrants that were outstanding at the time of the
Business Combination; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.

On April 30, 3021, post-market, Virgin Galactic announced "that it
has rescheduled the reporting of its financial results for the
first quarter 2021 to following the close of the U.S. markets on
Monday, May 10, 2021. Virgin Galactic will now host a conference
call to discuss the results and provide a business update that day
at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time (5:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The Company
is rescheduling its reporting due to the recent statement issued by
the [SEC] on April 12, 2021 relating to the accounting treatment of
warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (the
‘SEC Statement')." The press release further advised that
"following its review of the SEC Statement and consulting with its
advisors, the Company will restate its consolidated financial
statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The restatement is due solely
to the accounting treatment for the warrants of Social Capital
Hedosophia Holdings Corp. that were outstanding at the time of the
Company's business combination on October 25, 2019. The Company
expects to file the restated financials prior to the new conference
call date and estimates that it will recognize incremental
non-operating, non-cash expense for each of the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019."

On this news, Virgin Galactic's stock price fell $2.01 per share,
or 9.07%, to close at $20.14 per share on May 3, 2021.

If you purchased SPCE securities during the Class Period and
suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information,

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

Galactic class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later
than July 27, 2021.

Virgin Galactic is an integrated aerospace company that develops
human spaceflight for private individuals and researchers in the
U.S. On October 25, 2019, Virgin Galactic was formed via a business
combination between Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp.
("SCH"), a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") and Virgin
Galactic's then-private predecessor, after which SCH changed its

The Virgin Galactic class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout
the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements
and failed to disclose that: (i) for accounting purposes, SCH's
warrants were required to be treated as liabilities rather than
equities; (ii) Virgin Galactic had deficient disclosure controls

consequently, Virgin Galactic improperly accounted for SCH warrants
that were outstanding at the time of the business combination; and
(iv) as a result, Virgin Galactic's public statements were
materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On April 30, 3021, Virgin Galactic announced that Virgin Galactic
was rescheduling its reporting of its financial results for the
first quarter 2021 "due to the recent statement issued by the [U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission] on April 12, 2021 relating to
the accounting treatment of warrants issued by special purpose

further advised that "following its review of the SEC Statement and

Galactic's stock price fell more than 9%, damaging investors.

VIRGIN GALACTIC: Sued by Investor Over SPAC's Accounting Issues
---------------------------------------------------------------
Zeke Faux at bloomberg.com reports that Virgin Galactic Holdings
Inc. was sued by an investor who claims he lost money when the
space-tourism company announced that it would restate its results
due to regulatory guidance about the accounting treatment of
warrants.

The Las Cruces, New Mexico-based company said on April 30 that it
would have to restate its 2020 results because of accounting
guidance of regulators related to special purpose acquisition
companies, or SPACs. The next trading day, its shares fell 9%. The
company combined with Social Capital Hedosophia, run by former
Facebook executive Chamath Palihapitiya, and went public in October
2019.

The Securities and Exchange Commission set forth new guidance in
April that warrants, which are issued to early investors in the
deals, might not be considered equity instruments and may instead
be liabilities for accounting purposes. In a SPAC, early investors
buy units, which typically includes a share of common stock and a
fraction of a warrant to purchase more stock at a later date.
They're considered a sweetener for backers and many companies
treated them as equity instruments for accounting purposes.

The investor, Shane Lavin, said in the lawsuit filed in federal
court in Brooklyn, New York, that Virgin Galactic and its
executives knew that the results they were reporting were wrong.
They are seeking class-action status for their lawsuit. Many other
SPACs have made or are considering similar restatements due to the
accounting treatment of warrants.

Virgin Galactic's stock has been volatile. Since May 3, the day of
the price drop that Lavin is suing over, its shares have climbed
55%.

Representatives of Virgin Galactic didn't immediately respond to a
request for comment.

The case is Lavin v. Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc., 21-cv-03070,
U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn). [GN]

VOLKSWAGEN AG: Glancy Prongay Reminds of June 29 Deadline
---------------------------------------------------------
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") reminds investors of the
upcoming June 29, 2021 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in
the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or
otherwise acquired Volkswagen AG ("Volkswagen" or the "Company")
(OTC: VWAGY) securities between March 29, 2021 and March 30, 2021,
inclusive (the "Class Period").

If you suffered a loss on your Volkswagen investments or would like
to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss
under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact
information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/volkswagen-ag/. You
can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150,
Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at
shareholders@glancylaw.com to learn more about your rights.

On March 29, 2021, Volkswagen published a draft press release
announcing its American subsidiaries' supposed name change to
"Voltswagen." Media outlets reported that they confirmed with the
Company that the name change was real. As reported by CNBC,
"Volkswagen accidentally posted a press release on its website a
month early on May 31 announcing a new name for its U.S.
operations, Voltswagen of America, emphasizing the German
automaker's electric vehicle efforts." On this news, Volkswagen
AG's share price sharply rose.

On March 30, 2021, however, The Wall Street Journal published an
article titled "No, Volkswagen Isn't Rebranding Itself Voltswagen:
German car maker says announcement by its U.S. operation was
supposed to be an April Fools' gag." The article noted that
"[i]nvestors have been clamoring for shares of companies involved
in electric vehicles and have recently been pouring money into the
stocks of established car makers with solid EV plans." Other
outlets reported that the Associated Press was repeatedly assured
by Volkswagen that its U.S. subsidiary planned a name change, which
was false.

On this news, Volkswagen AG's share price fell more than 5% over
the next two trading days, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period,
Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as
well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the
Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically,
Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) "Voltswagen"
was never going to be used by the Volkswagen, Volkswagen Group of
America, Inc. ("VWoA"), or on any relevant vehicle; (2) Volkswagen,
VWoA, and their spokespeople purposefully misled reporters
regarding the now-purported "joke" and/or "promotion"; and (3) as a
result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and
prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a
reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Volkswagen securities during
the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than June 29,
2021 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative
class action lawsuit. To be a member of the class action you need
not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your
choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class
action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if
you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights
or interests with respect to the pending class action lawsuit,
please contact Charles Linehan, Esquire, of GPM, 1925 Century Park

VOLKSWAGEN AG: N.Y. Judge Dismisses Securities Class Action
-----------------------------------------------------------
Shearman & Sterling LLP, in an article for Mondaq, reported that on
May 20, 2021, Judge Dora L. Irizarry of the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York dismissed with prejudice
a putative class action asserting claims under Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against a car manufacturer and
certain of its current and former Board members. Mucha v.
Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, -- F. Supp. 3d --, 2021 WL 2006079
(E.D.N.Y. May 20, 2021). Plaintiffs alleged the company engaged in
anticompetitive conduct which rendered a number of statements in
the company's SEC filings false or misleading. The Court held that
plaintiffs failed to sufficiently allege that the alleged
misstatements were false, and therefore dismissed the complaint in
its entirety.

As a threshold issue, the Court considered defendants' arguments
that the Court lacked personal jurisdiction over the individual
defendants and that Germany was a more appropriate forum. As for
personal jurisdiction, the Court explained that due process
requires both that a particular defendant has sufficient contacts
with the forum to justify the exercise of personal jurisdiction and
that the assertion of personal jurisdiction is reasonable in that
specific instance. Id. at *4. Because the Exchange Act provides for
worldwide service of process, the Court noted that the "minimum
contacts" requirement turns on whether the defendant should
"reasonably anticipate being hailed into court" in the United
States. Id. Although the individual defendants had not signed any
SEC filings, the Court held that the exercise of personal
jurisdiction was proper because they signed Board reports and other
materials that were posted to company websites in English, "thus
suggesting that [they] knew that U.S. investors would rely upon
them." Id. at *6. However, the Court agreed that it lacked
jurisdiction as to one individual defendant who had not been served
and did not appear in the action, and whom plaintiffs conceded they
would be unable to serve. Id. at *5.

The Court also rejected defendants' motion for dismissal based on
forum non conveniens. The Court first considered various factors
regarding the litigants and found they did not weigh heavily one
way or the other. For example, the Court declined to accord any
deference to plaintiffs' choice of forum, explaining that
plaintiffs had failed to allege their residence and therefore the
Court could not determine if they were United States citizens, and
there were also indications that plaintiffs had engaged in "forum
shopping" to gain access to comparatively favorable law in New York
courts regarding class action litigation and discovery. Id. at
*8-10. Moreover, the Court noted that the majority of the evidence
and witnesses were in Germany, and that plaintiffs conceded that
Germany was an adequate forum, id. at *9-10, but that, on the other
hand, the company's resources "may mitigate" the extent of any
burden and the company had "not identified any witnesses who would
be unwilling to appear in New York," id. at *10. However, the Court
determined that the fact that the company sponsored American
Depository Shares in the United States "weighs heavily in favor in
finding that this Court is an appropriate forum."  Id. at *9. The
Court thus concluded that, on balance, the "private interest
factors are neutral" and that defendants could not meet the "heavy
burden in the forum non conveniens analysis" to overcome the
"strong interest" of the "Court and the public at large" in
"ensuring a domestic means of redress for victims of fraud in the
United States securities markets." Id. at *10-11.

Turning to the challenged statements, the Court first explained
that, while plaintiffs provided detailed allegations of the
company's anticompetitive conduct in coordinating with other German
automakers, plaintiffs failed to identify any specific law that had
been violated or to allege specifically how defendants' conduct
violated that law. Id. at *14. The Court distinguished plaintiffs'
allegations from other cases in which courts had declined to
dismiss allegations based on unlawful conduct where a specific law
was alleged to be violated. Id. at *14-15. Here, in contrast,
plaintiffs merely referred generally to "competition laws
established by the European Commission and Germany," which the
Court held was insufficient. Id. Thus, the Court held that the
complaint should be dismissed in its entirety for this reason
alone.

Nevertheless, the Court examined "alternative bases for dismissal"
in the interest of "completeness." Id. at *15. While plaintiffs
claimed that certain statements regarding commodities prices were
misleading because the prices depended on the company's
anticompetitive conduct and not global economic forces, the Court
held that there were no specific facts alleged to show why the
statements were false. Id.

Further, the Court held that challenged statements regarding the
company's culture and goals, including its "compliance with
international rules" and "fair treatment of our business partners
and competitors," were quintessential examples of nonactionable
puffery. Id. at *15-16. With respect to statements that the company
had prepared its financial statements in compliance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, the Court observed
that the company was not required to disclose allegedly
anticompetitive conduct until authorities began investigating the
company's conduct, and such investigations only commenced well
after the challenged statements were made. Id. at *16. The Court
also concluded that the Company was not otherwise required to
disclose the alleged unlawful conduct prior to these
investigations. Id. at *17.

Nevertheless, the Court concluded that certain other challenged
statements were potentially actionable and could create a duty to
disclose illegal conduct inconsistent with those statements, even
if there was otherwise no independent duty to disclose such
conduct. Id. For example, the Court determined that statements that
the company faced challenges from the "difficult market
environment" and "fierce competition," but was nonetheless "in a
good position globally compared to [its] competitors," were
potentially actionable because they referred to overcoming specific
pressures from competition but did not "tell the whole truth"
regarding alleged anticompetitive activities with its competitors.
Id. at *18.

The Court next evaluated plaintiffs' allegations with respect to
scienter for this category of challenged statements. The Court
rejected plaintiffs' suggestion that an anonymous email sent at an
unknown time and referencing a "‘secret' meeting" supported
allegations of conscious misbehavior or recklessness because, if
anything, the email suggested the meeting at issue might not be
secret. Id. at *19. In addition, the Court explained that media
reports describing unsourced communications speculating about the
risk of a finding of anticompetitive behavior were also lacking in
detail and only suggested that some unknown individuals had
misgivings about the activities in question. Id. With respect to
allegations that the company's CEO had a reputation for being a
micromanager and that he had advocated for the company to engage in
specific improper conduct, this was not sufficient to connect the
CEO to the broader anticompetitive activities that allegedly took
place. Id.

The Court noted that plaintiffs' strongest argument was that the
company's alleged misconduct was so widespread that the company's
leadership must have known about it, particularly as to statements
occurring after the company voluntarily disclosed to the European
Commission suspected infringements of European anticompetition law.
Id. Indeed, the Court determined that it was reasonable to infer
that the company's Board knew of the disclosure and therefore there
was a strong inference of scienter for a statement thereafter
touting the company's success in "achiev[ing] a new vehicle sales
record in 2016 amid fierce competition in a market environment that
remained challenging." Id. However, for this statement, the Court
had already separately determined that plaintiffs failed to
sufficiently allege falsity and that the company's conduct was
unlawful. Id. at *21. Moreover, the Court observed that plaintiffs
failed to raise any allegations of scienter for the period prior to
the company's disclosure to the European Commission, and in
particular there were no allegations that the company's senior
leadership were involved in meetings where anticompetition concerns
were raised. Id. at *20. Thus, the Court dismissed the action in
its entirety.

WASHINGTON, DC: Settles Class Action Over Foster Care System
------------------------------------------------------------
Lex Juarez, writing for WDVM, reports that District of Columbia
Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the end of a 31-year-old class-action
lawsuit filed on behalf of children who relied on the District's
foster care system.

"This exit from court oversight recognizes our commitment to
protecting our most vulnerable children and exemplifies our DC
values. It says that as a community, we're dedicated to making sure
our families get the services they need to keep their children safe
and well," said Mayor Bowser.

According to a press release from the Mayor's office, LaShawn A. v.
Bowser ended in a settlement with the city after an agreement was
reached by all parties. The settlement was also affirmed as fair,
reasonable and adequate by United States District Court Judge
Thomas Hogan.

Mayor Bowser said, "With a steadfast focus on family, love, and
prevention, I am proud that CFSA has transformed into a national
leader in the child welfare space. I want to thank Director Brenda
Donald and the CFSA staff for their commitment to our children, our
families and community stakeholders for their support, and also the
Office of the Attorney General and the Plaintiff's Counsel for
their partnership in getting us to today."

The District has taken steps to strengthen its child welfare system
over the past three decades, including establishing the D.C. Family
Court and the Child and Family Services Agency as a cabinet-level
agency, founding the Healthy Families/Thriving Communities
Collaboratives network and more.

Attorney General Karl Racine issued a statement following the
announcement that the lawsuit was over. He said, "Today is a
critical step for the District and our most vulnerable residents -
abused and neglected children - and I'm proud we were able to help
CFSA achieve this milestone. Just in the past year and a half, my
office has concluded two-decades-long cases involving court
administered reforms of District agencies – both of which
centered around children – allowing the District to operate
efficiently to protect and serve the District's most vulnerable
children," said AG Racine. "The reforms at CFSA will help protect
children, but the work isn't done. The agency must continue
providing robust in-home services whenever possible to help reduce
the trauma and impact on children caused by removal from their
families and placement in foster care."

If there are no concerns from the plaintiffs about CFSA's
compliance with the settlement, it will expire at the end of June
2022. [GN]

WESBANCO BANK: Luckett Sues Over Overdraft Fees
-----------------------------------------------
Regina Luckett, Plaintiff, on behalf of herself and all others
similarly situated brings this class action against WesBanco Bank,
Inc., Defendant, Case No. 21-cv-00081, (N.D. Va., May 28, 2021)
seeks monetary damages, restitution and declaratory relief from
WesBanco for the unfair and unconscionable assessment and
collection of "overdraft fees" on accounts that were never actually
overdrawn, and more than one "insufficient funds" fee on the same
item in breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith
and fair dealing.

Lucket claims that the checking account contract documents
discussing overdraft fees promise that WesBanco will only charge OD
Fees on transactions where there are insufficient funds to cover
them, and will assess only one insufficient funds fee on the same
item or transaction.

WesBanco is engaged in the business of providing retail banking
services to consumers in Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Maryland. [BN]

WEST AUSTRALIA: Indigenous Stolen Wages Suit Goes to Mediation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hannah Barry, writing for ABC, reports that Gordon Marshall started
working on stations when he was just 14.

He worked at Yeeda, Waterbank and Oombagooma stations around the
Kimberley, before being called up for national service.

His family's history is steeped in the pastoral industry, with his
grandmother working on a droving team at Fraser Downs stations and
his father working as a caretaker.

Over the years, Mr Marshall and his family were subject to a West
Australian government wage policy that meant 75 per cent of their
wages could be legally withheld.

Mr Marshall was just one of hundreds of litigants who signed on to
Shine Lawyers' class action last October, calling on the state
government to repay stolen wages to former pastoral, pearling and
domestic workers.

He was notified that an order for mediation to start in earnest had
been filed in the Federal Court.

"There's a lot of people that I know that will welcome this news --
especially our Indigenous older guys," Mr Marshall said.

"They lived and breathed cattle stations . . . I can't wait to ring
a couple of them and tell them that there's negotiations going on
because they really worked hard.

"A lot of those guys are still walking around in cowboy gear."

Court dates set
The decision to move to mediation had been carefully considered by
Shine Lawyers representatives, who said they were keen to begin
thrashing out a compensation model with the government as soon as
possible.

Shine Lawyers Special Counsel Tristan Gaven said it had been a goal
of both sides to fast-track any legal proceedings.

"What's happening now is the parties are going to meet, sit down
and work together to develop a framework for allowing the matter to
resolve without the need to go to trial," he said.

"We've been really encouraged by the state government's attitude
. . .  trials are costly and quite drawn out and resolving it by
way of agreement or settlement is obviously the quickest way and
the cheapest way to resolve these issues.

"That invariably means good outcomes for people that are part of
the case."

A mediation mention date has been set down for June 16, while the
mediation hearing itself is set to take place on July 2.

Mr Gaven said while it was a quicker process than a trial, there
were still myriad issues that needed to be worked through to find
an acceptable compensation scheme.

"We're still not in a position where we have all the information we
need to really have comfort around what a reasonable settlement
would look like, and I'm sure the state's in a similar position,"
he said.

"I do think there will be more mediations, this is really just
getting an understanding of what each of the parties need to come
to an agreement."

State government comes to table
A spokeswoman for WA Attorney General John Quigley's office said
the government was taking a similar approach to the proceedings.

"Over the coming months, the government will look to achieve a
mediated outcome, with an acknowledgement of the impact that
historical government policies have had on Aboriginal people and
their families over many years," she said.

"To enable the parties to mediate the matter, no other court dates
have been set."

Mr Marshall said while it was good to hear the state government had
come to the table around compensation, he hoped particular
attention would be given to the families of workers who had since
died.

"I really do hope they do compensate families for what their
mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers did out on cattle
stations," he said.

"I think compensating the families for what their elders have done
in building the pastoral industry in the Kimberley is [so
important]." [GN]
