3BEAR ENERGY: Rogers Appeals Ruling in FLSA Suit to 10th Cir.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff CODY A. ROGERS filed an appeal from the District Court's
Memorandum Opinion and Order dated October 4, 2023 entered in the
lawsuit styled Cody A. Rogers, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated v. 3BEAR ENERGY, LLC, Case No. 1:21-cv-00376, in
the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico.

As reported in the Class Action Reporter on May 3, 2021, the
lawsuit is brought to recover unpaid overtime wages and other
damages from the Defendant under the Fair Labor Standards Act and
New Mexico Minimum Wage Act. Instead of paying overtime as required
by state and federal law, the Defendant paid the Plaintiff and
those similarly situated to him a daily rate with no overtime pay.
The Defendant paid each of these workers a flat amount for each day
worked and failed to pay them overtime for all hours that they
worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek in accordance with the
FLSA, says the complaint.

On June 10, 2021, the Defendant filed a motion to compel
arbitration.

On June 21, 2021, 3Bear's staffing partner Applied Consultants, LLC
filed a motion to intervene which the Court granted on December 3
through an Order signed by District Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales.

On December 6, 2021, Applied Consultants filed a motion to compel
arbitration.

On May 2, 2022, a Memorandum Opinion and Order was signed by Judge
Gonzales granting Intervenor Applied Consultants LLC's motion to
compel arbitration; and denying as moot Defendant 3Bear Energy
LLC's motion to compel arbitration. Judge Gonzales also stayed the
case for arbitration, and ordered administrative case closure.

On November 28, 2022, the Court granted Plaintiff's motion to
reopen the case and lift stay. The Court then granted Plaintiff's
joint motion to stay the case and pursue mediation on January 17,
2023.

On May 12, 2023, Applied Consultants filed an opposed MOTION to
enforce class and collective waiver and supporting brief.

On June 21, 2023, Defendant 3Bear filed a motion to compel
discovery which the Court denied on September 18, 2023 through an
Order entered by Magistrate Judge Steven C. Yarbrough.

On October 4, 2023, Judge Gonzales signed a Memorandum Opinion and
Order granting Intervenor Applied Consultant's opposed motion to
enforce class and collective waiver and supporting brief.

Plaintiff Rogers is now appealing from an interlocutory order
applying a "class/collective action waiver" found in a contract
between him and third-party Applied Consultant.

The appellate case is captioned as CODY A. ROGERS, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff/Appellant v.
3BEAR ENERGY, LLC, Defendant/Appellee, Case No. 23-708, in the
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, filed on
October 18, 2023.[BN]

3M COMPANY: Wharam Sues Over Exposure to Toxic Aqueous Foams
------------------------------------------------------------
Kenneth Wharam, and other similarly situated v. 3M COMPANY (f/k/a
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company); AGC CHEMICALS AMERICAS
INC.; AMEREX CORPORATION; ARCHROMA U.S. INC.; ARKEMA, INC.; BUCKEYE
FIRE EQUIPMENT COMPANY; CARRIER GLOBAL CORPORATION; CHEMDESIGN
PRODUCTS, INC.; CHEMGUARD, INC.; CHEMICALS, INC.; CHEMOURS COMPANY
FC, LLC; CHUBB FIRE, LTD; CLARIANT CORP.; CORTEVA, INC.; DEEPWATER
CHEMICALS, INC.; DU PONT DE NEMOURS INC. (f/k/a DOWDUPONT INC.);
DYNAX CORPORATION; E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY; KIDDE PLC;
NATION FORD CHEMICAL COMPANY; NATIONAL FOAM, INC.; THE CHEMOURS
COMPANY; TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS LP, as successor-in-interest to The
Ansul Company; UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION; UTC FIRE & SECURITY
AMERICAS CORPORATION, INC. (f/k/a GE Interlogix, Inc.), WILLFIRE HC
LLC, d/b/a WILLLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL, Case No.
2:23-cv-05366-RMG (D.S.C., Oct. 25, 2023), is brought for damages
for personal injury resulting from exposure to aqueous film-forming
foams ("AFFF") containing the toxic chemicals collectively known as
per and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"). PFAS includes, but is
not limited to, perfluorooctanoic acid ("PFOA") and perfluorooctane
sulfonic acid ("PFOS") and related chemicals including those that
degrade to PFOA and/or PFOS.

AFFF is a specialized substance designed to extinguish
petroleum-based fires. It has been used for decades by military and
civilian firefighters to extinguish fires in training and in
response to Class B fires. The Defendants collectively designed,
marketed, developed, manufactured, distributed, released, trained
users, produced instructional materials, promoted, sold, and/or
otherwise released into the stream of commerce AFFF with knowledge
that it contained highly toxic and bio persistent PFASs, which
would expose end users of the product to the risks associated with
PFAS. Further, the Defendants designed, marketed, developed,
manufactured, distributed, released, trained users, produced
instructional materials, promoted, sold and/or otherwise handled
and/or used underlying chemicals and/or products added to AFFF
which contained PFAS for use in firefighting.

PFAS binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to the
material and remains and persists over long periods of time. Due to
their unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and
body of exposed individuals. PFAS are highly toxic and carcinogenic
chemicals. Defendants knew, or should have known, that PFAS remain
in the human body while presenting significant health risks to
humans.

The Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products were used by the
Plaintiff in their intended manner, without significant change in
the products' condition. Plaintiff was unaware of the dangerous
properties of the Defendants' AFFF products and relied on the
Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of the products.
Plaintiff's consumption, inhalation and/or dermal absorption of
PFAS from Defendant's AFFF products caused Plaintiff to develop the
serious medical conditions and complications alleged herein.

Through this action, Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory and
punitive damages arising out of the permanent and significant
damages sustained as a direct result of exposure to Defendants'
AFFF products at various locations during the course of Plaintiff's
training and firefighting activities. Plaintiff further seeks
injunctive, equitable, and declaratory relief arising from the
same, says the complaint.

The Plaintiff regularly used, and was thereby directly exposed to,
AFFF in training and to extinguish fires during his working career
as a military and/or civilian firefighter and was diagnosed with
prostate cancer as a result of exposure to Defendants' AFFF
products.

The Defendants are designers, marketers, developers, manufacturers,
distributors, releasers, instructors, promotors and sellers of PFAS
containing AFFF products or underlying PFAS containing chemicals
used in AFFF production.[BN]

ACCOUNTS BILLING: McIntyre Sues Over FDCPA, RICO Violations
-----------------------------------------------------------
GERRI McINTYRE, on behalf of herself and the class, Plaintiff v.
ACCOUNTS BILLING SERVICE, INC.; MSN HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS, LLC; and
COLLECTION BUREAU ASSOCIATES OF GEORGIA, INC., Defendants, Case No.
1:23-cv-00186-LAG (M.D. Ga., October 24, 2023) alleges violations
of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Racketeering
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

On October 25, 2022, Ms. McIntyre had an image of her knee read by
Radiology Associates of Dothan and received a bill on or about
November 11, 2022 because her insurance company did not respond.
Ms. McIntyre knew her service was covered by insurance, she did not
pay the bill, assuming that her insurance company simply had not
paid it yet. On or about February 18, 2023, Ms. McIntyre received a
telephone call from Accounts Billing Service attempting to collect
the bill. The standing agreement between ABS and Radiology of
Dothan was that ABS would retain 25% of all amounts collected, and
remit 75% of monies collected to Radiology of Dothan. However, ABS
allegedly did not honor the agreement because it had the practice
of keeping 13% as a settlement fee and then split the remainder
with Radiology of Dothan in a 75%/25% split. Moreover, Plaintiff
alleges that the Defendants were collecting monies they were not
contractually authorized to collect, says the suit.

Headquartered in Bainbridge, GA, Accounts Billing Service, Inc. is
engaged in the business of collecting medical debt where an
insurance claim is outstanding in contraction of the contract
between the patients and the underlying health providers. [BN]

ANYWHERE REAL: Continues to Defend Batton Class Suit
----------------------------------------------------
Anywhere Real Estate Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from Batton nationwide class
suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois Eastern Division.

Batton, Bolton, Brace, Kim, James, Mullis, Bisbicos and Parsons v.
The National Association of Realtors, Realogy Holdings Corp.,
Homeservices of America, Inc., BHH Affiliates, LLC, HSF Affiliates,
LLC, The Long & Foster Companies, Inc., RE/MAX LLC, and Keller
Williams Realty, Inc. (U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois Eastern Division).

In this putative nationwide class action filed on January 25, 2021
(formerly captioned as Leeder), the plaintiffs take issue with
certain NAR policies, including those related to buyer-broker
compensation at issue in the Moehrl and Burnett matters, as well as
those at issue in the 2020 settlement between the DOJ and NAR, but
claim the alleged conspiracy has harmed buyers (instead of
sellers).

The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made agreements and
engaged in a conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation of the
Sherman Act and were unjustly enriched, and seek a permanent
injunction enjoining NAR from establishing in the future the same
or similar rules, policies, or practices as those challenged in the
action as well as an award of damages and/or restitution, interest,
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

On July 6, 2022, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint substituting
in eight new named plaintiffs and containing allegations
substantially similar to the original complaint but also adding
certain claims under state antitrust statutes and consumer
protection statutes.

Motions to dismiss remain pending and discovery has not commenced.

The Company disputes the allegations against it in this case,
believes it has substantial defenses to plaintiffs' claims, and is
vigorously defending this litigation.

ANYWHERE REAL: Continues to Defend TCPA Suit in California
----------------------------------------------------------
Anywhere Real Estate disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from Telephone Consumer
Protection Act class suit in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.

Bumpus, et al. v. Realogy Holdings Corp., et al. (U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco
Division). In this class action filed on June 11, 2019, against
Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (f/k/a Realogy Holdings Corp.), Anywhere
Intermediate Holdings LLC (f/k/a Realogy Intermediate Holdings
LLC), Anywhere Real Estate Group LLC (f/k/a Realogy Group LLC),
Anywhere Real Estate Services Group LLC (f/k/a Realogy Services
Group LLC), and Anywhere Advisors LLC (f/k/a Realogy Brokerage
Group LLC and NRT LLC), and Mojo Dialing Solutions, LLC, plaintiffs
allege that independent sales agents affiliated with Anywhere
Advisors LLC violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991
(TCPA) using dialers provided by Mojo and others.

Plaintiffs seek relief on behalf of a National Do Not Call Registry
class, an Internal Do Not Call class, and an Artificial or
Prerecorded Message class.

In March 2022, the Court granted plaintiffs' motion for class
certification for the foregoing classes as to the Anywhere
defendants but not as to co-defendant Mojo and dismissed Mojo from
the case.

Plaintiffs and the Anywhere defendants' cross-motions for summary
judgment were denied without prejudice on May 11, 2022.

The Company's petition for permission to appeal the class
certification filed with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals was
denied and the plaintiffs’ class notice plan was approved on May
26, 2022.

Plaintiffs had claimed that approximately 1.2 million Do Not Call
calls and approximately 265,000 Pre-Recorded Messages qualified for
inclusion in the classes, but on March 29, 2023, filed a motion to
narrow the classes to approximately 321,000 Do Not Call calls and
approximately 165,000 Pre-Recorded Messages.

On April 12, 2023, the Company opposed Plaintiffs' motion to modify
the classes and sought to decertify them.

On April 24, 2023, the Court vacated the April 27, 2023 hearing and
pretrial conference and set the jury trial to commence on May 15,
2023, and on May 25, 2023 set a jury trial date for January 29,
2024 and a pretrial conference for January 11, 2024.

Plaintiffs' motion to narrow the classes, the Company's opposition
seeking to decertify the classes, as well as other pre-trial
motions, are pending.

The Company disputes the allegations against it in this case,
believes it has substantial defenses to both plaintiffs' liability
claims and damage assertions, and is vigorously defending this
action.

ANYWHERE REAL: Final OK Hearing on Nosalek Deal Moved to March 4
----------------------------------------------------------------
Anywhere Real Estate disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the
U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has moved the
final approval hearing of the settlement for the Nosalek class suit
from January 4, 2024 to March 7, 2024.

Nosalek, Hirschorn and Hirschorn v. MLS Property Information
Network, Inc., Realogy Holdings Corp., Homeservices of America,
Inc., BHH Affiliates, LLC, HSF Affiliates, LLC, RE/MAX LLC, and
Keller Williams Realty, Inc. (U.S. District Court for the District
of Massachusetts). This is a putative class action filed on
December 17, 2020 (formerly captioned as Bauman), wherein the
plaintiffs take issue with policies and rules similar to those at
issue in the Moehrl and Burnett matters, but rather than objecting
to the national policies and rules published by NAR, this lawsuit
specifically objects to the alleged policies and rules of a
multiple listing service (MLS Property Information Network, Inc.)
that is owned by realtors, including in part by one of the
Company's company-owned brokerages.

The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made agreements and
engaged in a conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation of the
Sherman Act and seek a permanent injunction, enjoining the
defendants from continuing conduct determined to be unlawful, as
well as an award of damages and/or restitution, interest, and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

On December 10, 2021, the Court denied the motion to dismiss filed
in March 2021 by the Company (together with the other defendants
named in the complaint) and in January 2022, the plaintiffs filed a
second amended complaint which, among other things, redefined the
covered area as limited to home sales in Massachusetts (removing
New Hampshire and Rhode Island).

The lawsuit seeks to represent a class of sellers who paid a broker
commission in connection with the sale of a property listed in the
MLS Property Information Network, Inc.

On January 23, 2023, MLS Property Information Network, Inc.,
HomeServices of America, Inc., BHH Affiliates, LLC, HSF Affiliates,
LLC, RE/MAX LLC, and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. filed their
answer to the second amended complaint.

The Anywhere defendants filed their answer to the second amended
complaint on February 21, 2023. Discovery in the case has
commenced.

On September 5, 2023, following its initial motion seeking
preliminary approval of a settlement that had been filed on June
30, 2023 and a court hearing held on August 9, 2023, the MLS
Property Information Network, Inc. filed a motion for preliminary
approval of an amended settlement covering sellers who paid, and/or
on whose behalf sellers' brokers paid, buyer-broker commissions
during the settlement class period in connection with the sale of
residential real estate listed on the centralized listing database
of MLS Property Information Network, Inc.

The corporate defendants, including Anywhere, are not a party to
the motion or settlement.

The settlement, if finally approved by the Court, requires MLS
Property Information Network, Inc to eliminate the requirement that
a seller must offer compensation to a buyer-broker and to change
various other rules to give sellers various notices and rules
relating to negotiation of buyer-broker compensation.

In addition to the foregoing injunctive relief, MLS Property
Information Network, Inc. has agreed to pay $3 million into a
settlement fund.

On September 7, 2023, the court granted preliminary approval of the
settlement and set a hearing date of January 4, 2024 for final
approval, which the court subsequently moved to March 7, 2024, in
response to a statement of interest and motion to extend filed by
the DOJ so that it could evaluate the proposed settlement and its
competitive effects.

ANYWHERE REAL: Prelim Hearing on Burnett Settlement Still Not Set
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Anywhere Real Estate disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the
court has net set date for the preliminary approval hearing for
Burnett class suit settlement.

Burnett, Hendrickson, Breit, Trupiano, and Keel v. The National
Association of Realtors, Realogy Holdings Corp., Homeservices of
America, Inc., BHH Affiliates LLC, HSF Affiliates, LLC, RE/MAX LLC,
and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. (U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Missouri). This is a now-certified class action
complaint, which was filed on April 29, 2019 and amended on June
21, 2019, June 30, 2021 and May 6, 2022 and tried with a jury
verdict on October 31, 2023 (formerly captioned as Sitzer).

The plaintiffs allege that the defendants engaged in a continuing
contract, combination, or conspiracy to unreasonably restrain trade
and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act because
defendant NAR allegedly established mandatory anticompetitive
policies and rules for the multiple listing services and its member
brokers that require listing brokers to make an offer of
buyer-broker compensation when listing a property.

The plaintiffs' experts argue that "but for" the challenged NAR
policies and rules, these offers of buyer-broker compensation would
not be made and plaintiffs seek the recovery of full commissions
paid to buyers' brokers as to both brokerage and franchised
operations in the relevant geographic area.

The plaintiffs further allege that commission sharing, which
provides for the broker representing the seller sharing or paying a
portion of its commission to the broker representing the buyer, is
anticompetitive and violates the Sherman Act, and that the
brokerage/franchisor defendants conspired with NAR by requiring
their respective brokerages/franchisees to comply with NAR’s
policies, rules, and Code of Ethics, and engaged in other allegedly
anticompetitive conduct including, but not limited to, steering and
agent education that allegedly promotes the practice of paying
buyer-broker compensation and discourages commission negotiation.

Plaintiffs' experts dispute defendants' contention that the
practice of offering and paying buyer-broker compensation is based
on natural and legitimate economic incentives and benefits that
exist irrespective of the challenged NAR policies and rules and
plaintiffs also contend that international practices are comparable
benchmarks.

The antitrust claims in the Burnett litigation are limited both in
allegations and relief sought to home sellers who from April 29,
2015, to the present used a listing broker affiliated with one of
the brokerage/franchisor defendants in four multiple listing
services ("MLSs") that primarily serve the State of Missouri,
purportedly in violation of federal and Missouri antitrust laws.

The plaintiffs also seek injunctive relief enjoining the defendants
from requiring home sellers to pay buyer-broker commissions or from
otherwise restricting competition among brokers, an award of
damages and/or restitution for the class period, attorneys' fees
and costs of suit. Plaintiffs allege joint and several liability
and seek treble damages.

In addition, the plaintiffs had included a cause of action for
alleged violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, or
MMPA, on behalf of Missouri residents only, with a class period
that commences April 29, 2014, but in October 2023, the court
granted plaintiffs' motion to dismiss that cause of action and the
Missouri antitrust claims.

In September 2019, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed a
statement of interest and appearances for this matter and, in July
2020 and July 2021, requested the Company provide it with all
materials produced in this matter.

The Court granted class certification on April 22, 2022 and as
certified, includes, according to plaintiffs, over 250,000
transactions for which the plaintiffs are seeking a full refund of
the buyer-broker commissions.

The Company and the plaintiffs engaged in several mediation
sessions, the most recent of which was held at the end of August
2023 and resulted in a settlement of the litigation as against
Anywhere (with one other corporate defendant entering into a
separate settlement in September 2023).

On September 5, 2023, the Company notified the court that it had
entered into nationwide settlement with the Burnett and Moehrl
plaintiffs and obtained a stay of all proceedings as to the Company
while the parties finalized a long form written settlement
agreement ("Anywhere Settlement").

On October 5, 2023, Plaintiffs filed the motion for preliminary
approval of both the Anywhere Settlement and the settlement with
another corporate defendant.

A date for the preliminary approval hearing has not yet been set,
but the Company expects it will likely occur before year-end.
Under the terms of the proposed nationwide Anywhere Settlement,
which is subject to both preliminary and final court approval,
Anywhere has agreed to provide monetary relief of $83.5 million as
well as injunctive relief. The proposed settlement resolves, on a
nationwide basis, all claims asserted or could have been asserted
against Anywhere in the Burnett and Moehrl cases. Specifically, the
Anywhere Settlement releases the Company, all subsidiaries, brands,
affiliated agents, and franchisees from all claims that were or
could have been asserted by all persons who sold a home that was
listed on a multiple listing service anywhere in the United States
where a commission was paid to any brokerage in connection with the
sale of the home in the relevant class period.

The proposed settlement is not an admission of liability, nor does
it concede or validate any of the claims asserted against
Anywhere.

ARIETIS HEALTH: Gentry Sues Over Data Breach of Patients' Info
--------------------------------------------------------------
CHARLES GENTRY, on behalf of himself individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated,  Plaintiff, v. ARIETIS HEALTH, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 2:23-cv-00926-SPC-NPM (M.D. Fla., October 20,
2023) arises from a recent cyberattack resulting in a data breach
of sensitive information in the possession and custody and/or
control of the Defendant.

The Defendant's failure to timely detect and report the data breach
made its consumers vulnerable to identity theft without any
warnings to monitor their financial accounts or credit reports to
prevent unauthorized use of their sensitive information. In failing
to adequately protect Plaintiff's and the Class members' sensitive
information, failing to adequately notify them about the breach,
and by obfuscating the nature of the breach, the Defendant violated
state and federal law and harmed an unknown number of its current
and former consumers, says the suit.

ARIETIS HEALTH: Seidner Sues Over Data Breach of Patients' Info
---------------------------------------------------------------
KEVAN SEIDNER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. ARIETIS HEALTH, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
2:23-cv-00944-JLB-KCD (M.D. Fla., October 25, 2023) alleges claims
for negligence, negligence per se, and declaratory judgment and
seeks damages and injunctive relief, including the adoption of
reasonably sufficient practices to safeguard personally
identifiable information and protected health information in
Defendant's custody in order to prevent incidents like the data
breach from reoccurring in the future.

Despite Arietis's duty to safeguard the PII and PHI of the patients
of its customer-healthcare providers, Plaintiff's and Class
Members' sensitive information was exposed unauthorized third
parties during massive data breach that occurred on or about May
27, 2023. The data breach exploited a vulnerability in the MOVEit
technology, which Defendant uses in its regular course of business.
In addition, despite becoming aware of the data breach on May 31,
2023, Arietis waited nearly five months to notify individuals
impacted by the data breach. Indeed, Defendant waited until on or
about September 29, 2023, to begin notifying individuals that their
PII and PHI had been compromised during the data breach, says the
suit.

BANKERS HEALTHCARE: Stewart Sues Over Predatory Lending Practices
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WALLACE STEWART, ROSELL MATIENZO, and RODCELYN MATIENZO,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiffs v. BANKERS HEALTHCARE GROUP, LLC and PINNACLE BANK,
Defendants, Case No. 5:23-cv-1284 (GTS/TWD) (N.D.N.Y., Oct. 17,
2023) arises from the Defendants' engagement in marketing and
extending financial loans to individuals in the U.S. that violate
the Truth in Lending Act.

This case arises from Defendants' recurring practice of extending
large, expensive financial loans to middle-income individuals,
while falsely disguising those loans as "commercial loans" to
businesses that Defendants know do not exist. Fraudulently
disguising their personal loans as business loans (to non-existent
"sole proprietorships") allows Defendants to conceal their
predatory lending practices, which squarely violate federal and
state consumer-lending statutes, says the suit.

According to the complaint, the Defendants' predatory lending
practices include, without limitation: (a) imposing excessive loan
fees and interest, without the attendant financial disclosures
required by law for consumers; (b) penalizing and outright
prohibiting borrower prepayments, to maximize interest accrual; (c)
charging borrowers interest on undisbursed funds; and (d) securing
all loans with "All Property of the Debtor" -- both real and
personal -- without the financial disclosures and other consumer
protections required by law for such security agreements.

Allegedly, Plaintiffs Wallace Stewart, Rosell Matienzo, and
Rodcelyn Matienzo are individual consumers who BHG directly and
intentionally misled into taking out high-cost, secured personal
loans with BHG or with Pinnacle.

Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC engages in the business of financial
lending to individuals in the U.S., on its own behalf and on behalf
of Pinnacle Bank, BHG's 49% owner.[BN]

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Baxter International Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for the
quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the

specified class period, filed this putative class action on behalf
of himself and shareholders who acquired Baxter securities on the

1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making
allegedly false and misleading statements and failing to disclose

------------------------------------------------------------------
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for
the quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the securities class suit
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California.

On October 22, 2021, a purported securities class action lawsuit
was filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, its
current and prior Chief Financial Officers, and its President of
Worldwide Research & Development in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations
under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

The complaint alleges that it made materially false or misleading
statements regarding BMN 307 by purportedly failing to disclose
information about BMN 307's safety profile, and by purportedly
overstating BMN 307's clinical and commercial prospects.

The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, pre-judgment
and post-judgment interest, attorneys' fees, expert fees, and other
costs.

The Court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel on January 10,
2022.

Lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 25, 2022.

The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on May
25, 2022.

On January 19, 2023, the Court granted its motion to dismiss the
complaint without prejudice.

On February 21, 2023, the court dismissed the complaint with
prejudice at plaintiffs' request.

Plaintiffs have appealed the court's January 19, 2023 order to the
United State Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and filed their
opening brief on June 23, 2023.

Defendants filed their answering brief on August 23, 2023.

Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on October 13, 2023.

The Company believes that the claims have no merit and it intends
to vigorously defend this action.

root cause of genetic conditions. Its commercial portfolio
includes

CHATTEM INC: Walter Sues Over Mislabeled Dry Mouth Lozenges
-----------------------------------------------------------
CARLA WALTER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CHATTEM, INC., Defendant, Case No.
6:23-cv-02007-CEM-LHP (M.D. Fla., Oct. 18, 2023) is a consumer
class action against the Defendant for alleged violation of the
Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act due to false and
misleading representations and omissions of its dry mouth lozenges
under its Act brand.

According to the complaint, to appeal to roughly one-quarter of the
population suffering from dry mouth, Defendant's front label
represents the product "Soothes Dry Mouth," "Moisturizes Mouth
Tissue" and "Freshens Breath," next to a lozenge splashing in
water. Based on the product's acidity, below the critical pH of
dentin, it is misleading to represent it as beneficial to oral
health. By omitting that the product's acidity is below the
critical pH of dentin, which is the level at which dentin erodes,
purchasers are misled and not informed of material facts which
would impact their purchasing decisions, says the suit.

As a result of the Defendant's conduct, the product is sold at a
premium price, approximately not less than $6.99 per 36 lozenges,
excluding tax and sales, higher than similar products, represented
in a non-misleading way, and higher than it would be sold for
absent the misleading representations and omissions, the suit
asserts.

CREDIT SUISSE: Core Capital Sues Over Misleading Statements

Defendants, Case No. 1:23-cv-09287 (S.D.N.Y., October 20, 2023)
seeks to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the
federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5.

Among other things, the Defendants allegedly made false and/or
misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the sharp
increase in customer outflows that Credit Suisse began experiencing
in October 2022 remained ongoing. In addition, Credit Suisse had
downplayed the impact of the company's recent series of quarterly
losses and risk and compliance failures on liquidity and its
ability to retain client funds, says the suit.

Case No. 2:23-cv-12686-MFL-APP (E.D. Mich., October 24, 2023) seeks
to recover unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, and
attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to the provisions of Sections
207 and 216(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act and unpaid straight
time wages pursuant to Michigan common law.

the FLSA. As a result, Plaintiff not paid overtime of at least one
and one-half their regular rates for hours worked in excess of 40
per workweek, says the suit.

Specifically, Plaintiffs and the Collective Members were paid as
independent contractors instead of as employees. As a result,
Defendant failed to pay Plaintiffs and the Collective Members time
and one half their regular rate of pay for hours worked in a

DSM-FIRMENICH AG: Skenderian Sues Over Fragrance Price-fixing
-------------------------------------------------------------
MASEES SKENDERIAN, FRANK NOVAK, and DANIEL NABAVIAN, on behalf of
themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v.
DSM-FIRMENICH AG, FIRMENICH INTERNATIONAL SA, FIRMENICH INC.,
AGILEX FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES, INC., GIVAUDAN SA, GIVAUDAN FRAGRANCES
CORP., GIVAUDAN FLAVORS CORP., UNGERER & COMPANY, INC., CUSTOM
ESSENCE INC., INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC., SYMRISE AG,
SYMRISE INC., and SYMRISE US LLC, Defendant, Case No. 2:23-cv-21251
(D.N.J., Oct. 18, 2023) seeks injunctive relief, treble damages,
costs, attorneys' fees, and other just relief for Defendants' per
se violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C Section 1,
state antitrust laws, unfair competition laws, consumer protection
laws, and unjust enrichment laws of the several States.

The Plaintiffs bring this civil antitrust action seeking treble
damages arising from Defendants' conspiracy to fix, raise,
maintain, and stabilize the prices for fragrances and fragrance
ingredients, and allocate and unreasonably restraint trade in the
market for fragrances and fragrance ingredients, sold in the United
States from January 1, 2018, until such time as the anticompetitive
effects of the conduct cease.

According to the complaint, beginning at least as early as January
1, 2018, the Defendants entered into an unlawful agreement in
restraint of trade to increase fragrance prices. The Defendants'
conspiracy to fix prices for fragrances was in reaction to
increased costs of the raw materials used to manufacture
fragrances. To maintain their profitability, Defendants coordinated
with one another to set the price of fragrances for their
customers, divided the consumer market by allocating certain
customers to certain Defendants, and imposed supply constraints for
fragrances. Through this unlawful coordination, Defendants charged
their customers supra-competitive prices, which were in turn passed
through to end-user purchasers of products containing fragrance and
fragrance ingredients, including Plaintiffs and the Classes, says
the suit.

The Defendants are the four largest global manufacturers of flavors
and Fragrances, operating in an approximately $26.5 billion
worldwide market.[BN]

EXPRESS SCRIPTS: Elk River Sues Over Pharmacy Benefits Monopoly
---------------------------------------------------------------
Elk River Pharmacy Inc., STRB Inc., The Pharmacy Station Inc., and
Handicapable Inc. d/b/a Medicine To Go Pharmacies, Plaintiffs v.
Express Scripts, Inc. and Express Scripts Holding, Inc.,
Defendants, Case No. 2:23-cv-01400-BHL (E.D. Wis., Oct. 19, 2023)
is a civil antitrust suit that challenges a horizontal combination,
conspiracy or agreement between ESI and co-conspirator Prime
Therapeutics LLC that violates Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Act.

According to the complaint, Prime and ESI are both "Pharmacy
Benefit Managers". PBMs are hired and paid a fee by public and
private healthcare plans to manage and service the plan's
pharmaceutical benefits. In order to perform that function, PBMs
enter into agreements with retail pharmacies in which the
pharmacies agree to provide pharmaceutical products (usually
prescription drugs) and services to members of the healthcare plans
that have hired that PBM. In return for the retail pharmacies'
providing pharmaceutical products and services to the plan members,
the PBMs agree to the prices to be paid to the pharmacies for the
drugs and services they deliver to the plan members.

The Plaintiffs and the other retail pharmacy class members are
injured by the anticompetitive conduct alleged herein because the
Prime/ESI Agreement has impaired the competitive free market forces
that otherwise would determine the prices at which Prime would buy
and sell services and products to and from retail pharmacies. As a
result, retail pharmacies, including the Plaintiffs, pay higher
transaction fees to Prime and receive lower reimbursement rates
from Prime. Impairing horizontal competition between Prime and ESI
has allowed Prime and ESI to collectively obtain and/or maintain
market power, monopoly power and monopsony power in the relevant
markets, says the suit.

HANDY TECHNOLOGIES: Shinkle Sues Over Unsafe, Unreliable Services
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AMOS SHINKLE and NIKA MOSENTHAL, individually and on behalf of
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. HANDY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
and ANGI HOMESERVICES INC., Defendants, Case No. 530099/2023 (N.Y.
Sup., Kings Cty., Oct. 18, 2023) is a class action against the
Defendants for violations of New York's Consumer Protection Act and
General Business Law and to recover damages caused by the
Defendants' deceptive acts and practices regarding its online
marketplace in the State of New York.

Defendant Handy sets itself out as a company that owns and operates
an online marketplace connecting individuals seeking assistance
with household projects with independent service professionals.
Users who use Handy book services through Handy's app or website
are instantly matched and connected to what Defendant Handy claimed
of having "top-quality, pre-screened independent service
professionals."

According to the complaint, Plaintiffs had a "Home Cleaning" booked
through Handy's platform pursuant to their monthly cleaning plan
with the Defendant on April 6, 2023. When returning home later that
same day after a service professional had left Plaintiffs'
residence for cleaning routine, Plaintiff Shinkle discovered the
theft of an engagement ring valued at $26,750.

Following the theft of their engagement ring, Plaintiffs had an
extensive public records search conducted through Intelius, Inc. on
the said professional they were matched with through Handy, named
Ernesto Taype-Miranda. This report, along with a basic Google
Search of the Pro, uncovered a record of several criminal charges.

The Plaintiffs allege that Defendants, together and severally,
deceptively advertised to them that, if they use their platform,
they will be using a "safe and reliable way to book top-rated home
service professionals." On the contrary, however, Plaintiffs who
used Handy's platform were not connected with "top-quality,
pre-screened independent service professionals," since the
Plaintiffs were connected to a professional through Handy who had
an extensive criminal background.

The Plaintiffs seeks to recover damages, including enhanced
damages, if available, in an amount to be determined at trial, and
reasonable attorneys' fees.[BN]

The Plaintiff worked for Hilton at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly
Hills from April 22, 2022, until March 24, 2023. He worked as a

of the hotel. However, the Defendants misclassified Plaintiff as

and rest premiums, minimum wages, overtime, timely payment of wages
during employment, timely payment of wages upon termination, and
accurate itemized wage statements. In addition, the Defendants
terminated Plaintiff's employment on March 24, 2023 in retaliation
for Plaintiff's complaints about not being able to perform his

INDEPENDENT BANK: Kibble Sues Over Double Charging of Overdraft Fee
-------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPHANIE KIBBLE, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. INDEPENDENT BANK, Defendant, Case No.
1:23-cv-01130-RJJ-PJG (W.D. Mich., October 25, 2023) arises from

The Plaintiff asserts that the Defendant's practices breach
contractual promises made in its adhesion contracts and constitute
deceptive practices. Accordingly, she seeks damages, restitution,
and injunctive relief for Defendant's violations.

INDIGO ROAD: Faces Guldenzoph Suit Over FLSA Violations

Defendants, Case No. 2:23-cv-05339-DCN (D.S.C., October 24, 2023)

violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Plaintiff Guldenzoph was employed by Defendants from July 2017 to
March 2020 and then from September 2021 until July 11, 2023.
Throughout her employment, the Defendants maintained a policy and
practice whereby tipped employees were required to perform
non-tip-producing side work unrelated to the employees' tipped
occupation while still being compensated for that work at the
lesser non-minimum wage tip credit rate. Among other duties,
Plaintiff was directed to shop for groceries and other supplies
without compensation and without any reimbursement of
transportation costs. Accordingly, Plaintiff seeks redress for
Defendants' willful failure to compensate her for hours worked at
the applicable federal minimum wage and violations of the FLSA's
tip credit provisions.

Labor regulations.

Plaintiff Junior Burey was a truck driver employed by J.B Hunt
Transportation, Inc., and its owners and/or officers, John N.
Roberts III from April 3, 2022 until June 15, 2023. During the time
period, Burey was not paid overtime wages for all of hours worked

his hours worked over a spread of 10 hours per day. Accordingly,
Plaintiff seeks to recover from the Defendants, his unpaid overtime
wages, and an equal additional amount as liquidated damages,
additional liquidated damages for unreasonably delayed payment of
wages, interest, reasonable attorney's fees, and costs and
disbursements of this class action. In addition, Plaintiff asserts
that he is also entitled to damages under the New York Wage Theft

PEDRO MARTINEZ, Plaintiff v. THE J.M. SMUCKER COMPANY, Defendant,
Case No. 530498/2023 (N.Y. Sup., Kings Cty., October 20, 2023)
arises from the Defendant's failure to design, construct, maintain,
and operate their website to be fully accessible to and
independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or

Rights Law, the New York State Civil Rights Law, and the New York
City Human Rights Law.

Shop.smucker.com provides to the public a wide array of the goods,
services, price specials, employment opportunities and other

Mixed Fruit Jelly, and a gift card, says the suit.

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE: Jin-Wolfson Seeks Tuition Fee Refund
-------------------------------------------------------
JULIA JIN-WOLFSON, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff V. LAFAYETTE COLLEGE, Defendant, Case No.
5:23-cv-04005-JMG (E.D. Pa., Oct. 17, 2023) is a class action
against the Defendant for damages and restitution resulting from
Lafayette's retention of the tuition and fees paid by Plaintiff and
other putative Class members for in-person education and services
not being provided following the school's transition to remote
learning in March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.

The Plaintiff, an undergraduate student during the Spring 2020
quarter, paid tuition and fees to enroll in Lafayette's on-campus,
in-person education program, including all the benefits and
services associated therewith for the entirety of the term.

According to the complaint, Lafayette's students lost the benefits
of the bargain for services and the experience they paid for but
could not access or use following the school's transition to remote
learning in March 2020. By not giving prorated refunds for tuition
or fees charged for on-campus education and services not provided,
Lafayette breached its contracts with students or was otherwise
unjustly enriched, says the suit.

Lafayette College is a private liberal arts college founded in
1826. Lafayette offers over 50 undergraduate programs at its campus
in Easton, Pennsylvania.[BN]

Plaintiff v. LIVE NATION WORLDWIDE, INC., Defendant, Case No.
655178/2023 (N.Y. Sup., New York Cty., Oct. 19, 2023) arises from
the Defendant's alleged violations of the New York State Labor Law,
the New York Code of Rules and Regulations, and the New York Wage
Theft Prevention Act.

This lawsuit seeks to recover (1) unpaid minimum wages and overtime
pay due to Defendant's practice of not tracking hours worked, and
rounding hours always in favor of Defendant based on approximations
of total hours as determined by Defendant; the cost of required
work uniform and work supplies; (2) unpaid overtime due to
Defendant's practice of not paying overtime premium for all
workweeks where employees exceeded 40 hours in a week; (3)
spread-of-hours pay; and (4) all available liquidated damages;
prejudgment interest; attorneys' fees; and expenses.

The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendant from April 2014 to

driving, transporting people and items, setting up temporary office
spaces inside and outside event venues, and assisting as a roadie

Act and as a collective action under the Virginia Minimum Wage Act
and under Virginia Code Annotated to recover unpaid minimum wages

unrelated "dual occupation" work hours within weekly pay periods;

significant amount of their time spent (more than 20 percent) in

hourly pay of $7.25 per hour when there were insufficient tips to
total such minimum wage requirements, when combined with their
sub-minimum base rate of pay.

situated, Plaintiff v. UNUM GROUP CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No.
1:23-cv-00247 (E.D. Tenn., October 20, 2023) seeks to hold the
Defendant responsible for the injuries it inflicted on Plaintiff
and approximately 531,7321 similarly situated persons due to UNUM's
impermissibly inadequate data security, which caused the personal
information of Plaintiff and those similarly situated to be
exfiltrated by unauthorized access by cybercriminals between May 31

Accordingly, Plaintiff seeks remedies including, but not limited

including improvements to UNUM's data security systems, future

USAI LLC: Dominguez Sues Over Unpaid Wages, Discrimination

Veronica Dominguez, Coni Calixto, Flora Flores, Karen Hernandez,
Karen Marquez, Martina Medina Sanchez, Denia Orellana Velasquez,
Nancy Reyes, Maria Rosas, Teresa Sanchez, Maria Solis and Anabertha
Bravo Lozano on behalf of themselves and all other
similarly-situated individuals, Plaintiffs v. USAI, LLC and Rose
Moreno, Defendants, Case No. 7:23-cv-09194 (S.D.N.Y., Oct. 19,
2023) seeks to recover Plaintiffs' unpaid wages, liquidated
damages, compensation for emotional distress and punitive damages
arising from the Defendants' violation of the Fair Labor Standards
Act, the New York Labor Law, and the New York State Human Rights
Law.

According to the complaint, the Defendant willfully failed to pay
Plaintiffs and the other similarly-situated manual laborers an
overtime premium of one half of their regularly hourly rate for
every hour they worked above 40 in a work week; failed to pay
Plaintiffs and others similarly situated promised wages for all
hours worked; and failed to provide with accurate wage statements.

During the four years immediately preceding the filing of this
complaint, the Plaintiffs -- all non-Caribbean Hispanic individuals
-- worked for some period of time in positions which subjected them
to USAI LLC manager Moreno's supervision and/or control. From the
start of their employment to the date on which Plaintiffs were
terminated, Ms. Moreno engaged in persistent harassment and abuse
of Plaintiffs and other non-Caribbean Hispanic employees, says the
suit.

The Plaintiffs were employed by the Defendants to assemble light
fixtures along the factory's assembly lines, package them and
prepare them for shipping, and perform other tasks integral to
Defendant's manufacturing operation.

York.[BN]

mischaracterizations of evidence made in Plaintiffs' Reply and

that the "Corrected Reply" did not remedy the issues with the
original Reply. Walmart's counsel invited a further meet and confer

WELL FOUND: Faces Dube Suit Over Womaness Products' False Ads
-------------------------------------------------------------
Briana Dube, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. Well Found, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
160258/2023 (N.Y. Sup., New York Cty., Oct. 19, 2023) seeks to
remedy the alleged deceptive and misleading business practices of
Well Found regarding the marketing and sales of its Womaness
products throughout the state of New York and throughout the
country in violation of the New York General Business Law.

According to the complaint, the Defendant manufactures, sells, and
distributes the Womaness Let Me Sleep and the Womaness Me No Pause
products using a marketing and advertising campaign centered around
claims that appeal to health-conscious consumers, i.e., that its
products are "Natural" and/or "All-Natural". However, Defendant's
advertising and marketing campaign is false, deceptive, and
misleading because the products contain non-natural, synthetic
ingredients, says the suit.

Had Defendant not made the false, misleading, and deceptive
representations and omissions, Plaintiff and the Class Members
would not have been willing to pay the same amount for the Products
they purchased, and, consequently, Plaintiff and the Class Members
would not have been willing to purchase the products, the suit
asserts.

Well Found, LLC is a corporation with its principal place of
business in Lake Elmo, Minnesota.[BN]

WISCONSIN ELECTRIC: Continues to Defend Munt Class Suit
-------------------------------------------------------
Wisconsin Electric Power Co. disclosed in its Form 10-Q Report for
the quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, that the
Company continues to defend itself from the Munt class suit in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin
– Milwaukee Division.

In May 2022, a putative class action, Munt, et al. v. WEC Energy
Group, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Division.

The plaintiffs allege that WEC Energy Group and others breached
their fiduciary duties with respect to the operation and oversight
of WEC Energy Group's Employee Retirement Saving Plan (the "Plan")
in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended.

The class is alleged to be participants in the Plan from May 10,
2016 through the date of judgment.

The complaint seeks injunctive relief, damages, interest, costs,
and attorneys' fees.

WEC Energy Group is vigorously defending against the allegations
made in this lawsuit and intends to continue to do so.

Wisconsin Electric Power Company provided approximately 1.2
million
electric customers and 0.5 million natural gas customers. All of
the common stock of Wisconsin Electric Power Company is held by
WEC
Energy Group, Inc.



ZOOM VIDEO: Warren Sues Over Automatic Subscription Renewal Scheme
------------------------------------------------------------------
FERNANDA WARREN, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC, Defendant,
Case No. 5:23-mc-80271 (N.D. Cal., Oct. 17, 2023) is a class action
brought by the Plaintiff, on behalf of herself, the general public
and a class of similarly situated consumers, arising from the
Defendant's alleged illegal automatic renewal scheme in violation
of the California's Unfair Competition Law, the Consumer Legal
Remedies Act, the Florida Automatic Renewal Law, and the Florida
Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.

According to the complaint, Zoom fails to cancel subscription plans
of subscribers that cancel their paid monthly subscription.
Instead, Zoom continues to charge consumers unwanted monthly fees
even after they attempt to cancel their membership. In so doing,
Zoom systematically violates state automatic renewal laws including
those of California and Florida, by engaging in a pattern and
practice of exploiting its members by continuing to charge them
monthly fees, without consumers' consent, after they have canceled
their memberships, says the suit.

Zoom Video Communications Inc. is a communications technology
company headquartered in San Jose, California.[BN]
