7 CUPS OF TEA: Posted Profiles Without Consent, Vorpahl Says
------------------------------------------------------------
JACQUELINE VORPAHL, Ph.D.; KARA NIELSON, LCPC; and BILL DESIENA,
LCSW, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated and
for the benefit of the general public, Plaintiffs v. 7 CUPS OF TEA,
CO., and DOES 1-10, Defendants, Case No. 5:25-cv-05088 (N.D. Cal.,
June 16, 2025) is a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of the
Plaintiff and a nationwide class of licensed clinical
psychologists, licensed clinical professional counselors, licensed
clinical social workers and other licensed therapists to seek
redress for 7 Cups' improper, unauthorized, and illegal posting of
their professional profiles on www.7Cups.com without those
individuals' express prior authorization or consent.
According to the complaint, 7 Cups took such actions that had the
purpose and/or effect of diverting the actual and prospective
patients and clients of licensed clinical psychologists, licensed
clinical professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers
and other licensed therapists to other individuals employed by or
otherwise affiliated with 7 Cups, many of whom have virtually no
formal training or licensing required to perform such services. 7
Cups' actions violate several statutory and common law doctrines,
including the federal Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(a)(1)(A),
California's Unfair Competition Law; California's False Advertising
Law; misappropriation of name or likeness under Cal. Civ. Code, and
common law doctrines such as misappropriation, intentional and
negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and
unjust enrichment.
As a result of 7 Cups' acts and omissions alleged herein,
Plaintiffs seek remedies on their own behalf and on behalf of all
those similarly situated for violations of the aforementioned
statutes and common law doctrines and for the benefit of the
general public, as applicable.
7 Cups is an online direct-to-consumer mental health platform that
offers online counseling and therapy services to consumers through
its network of therapists who use the platform for online
interactions. [BN]

AFLAC INCORPORATED: Batiste Sues Over Failure to Secure PII & PHI
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jessica Batiste, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. AFLAC INCORPORATED, Case No. 4:25-cv-00185-CDL (M.D.
Ga., June 21, 2025), is brought arising from the Defendant's
failure to secure the personally identifiable information ("PII")
and protected health information ("PHI") (collectively, "Private
Information") of Plaintiff and the members of the proposed Class,
where Plaintiff provided her Private Information to Defendant for
supplemental insurance services and products.
On June 20, 2025, Defendant began sending emails entitled "Aflac
Cybersecurity Incident" ("Notice Email") to Plaintiff and Class
Members, advising them that it recently detected suspicious
activity on its network. In its Notice Email, Defendant advises
that its investigation into the cybersecurity incident is ongoing
and that it has yet not confirmed the extent of unauthorized
activity, potentially impacted data, or the customers or other
individuals impacted in the cybersecurity incident ("Data
Breach").
As a result of the Data Breach, which Defendant failed to prevent,
the
Private Information of Plaintiff and the proposed Class Members,
was stolen. Instead, Defendant disregarded the rights of Plaintiff
and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and/or
negligently failing to implement reasonable measures to safeguard
the Private Information of its current and former customers,
beneficiaries, employees, agents, and other individuals in its U.S.
business, and by failing to take necessary steps to prevent
unauthorized disclosure of that information. Defendant's woefully
inadequate data security measures made the Data Breach a
foreseeable, and even likely, consequence of its negligence.
The Plaintiff and Class Members would not have provided their
valuable Private Information had they known that Defendant would
make their Private Information Internet-accessible, not encrypt
personal and sensitive data elements, and not delete the Private
Information it no longer had reason to maintain. Through this
lawsuit, Plaintiff seeks to hold Defendant responsible for the
injuries they inflicted on Plaintiff and Class Members due to their
impermissibly inadequate data security measures, and to seek
injunctive relief to ensure the implementation of security measures
to protect the Private Information that remains in Defendant's
possession, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is a customer of Defendant and provided Defendant
with her Private Information, including her Social Security
number.
The Defendant is a Georgia corporation located in Columbus,
Georgia.[BN]

AFLAC INCORPORATED: Byrne Sues Over Cyberattack and Data Breach
---------------------------------------------------------------
James Byrne, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. AFLAC INCORPORATED, Case No. 4:25-cv-00193-CDL (M.D.
Ga., June 23, 2025), is brought arising out of the recent
cyberattack and data breach resulting from Defendant's failure to
implement reasonable and industry standard security practices.
As a provider of insurance services, AFLAC knowingly obtains
sensitive customer and information and has a resulting duty to
maintain such information in confidence. The company has sensitive
information concerning over 50 million customers in the U.S. and
abroad.
The Plaintiffs bring this Complaint against Defendant for its
failure to properly secure and safeguard the sensitive information
that it collected and maintained as part of its regular business
practices, including, but not limited to: names; demographic
information, such as addresses, emails, and phone numbers
("Personally Identifying Information" or "Private Information") and
medical treatment and insurance information, which is protected
health information ("PHI") as defined by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") (collectively
with PII, "Private Information").
The Defendant failed to adequately protect Plaintiff's and Class
Members' "Private Information". This "Private Information" was
compromised due to Defendant's negligent and/or careless acts and
omissions and their utter failure to protect its customers'
sensitive data. Hackers targeted and obtained Plaintiffs' and Class
Members' "Private Information" because of its value in exploiting
and stealing the identities of Plaintiffs and Class Members. The
present and continuing risk to victims of the Data Breach will
remain for their respective lifetimes, says the complaint.
The Plaintiffs provided their Private Information to Defendant.
The Defendant is a company providing insurance products to millions
of policyholders and customers through its subsidiaries in the U.S.
and is one of the largest suppliers of supplemental health
insurance in the United States for medical expenses that are not
covered by a primary provider.[BN]

ALASKA: Court Certifies Two Classes in Mary Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MARY B., et al., v. KIM
KOVOL, Director, Alaska Department of Family and Community
Services, in her official capacity, et al., Case No.
3:22-cv-00129-SLG (D. Alaska), the Hon. Judge Sharon L. Gleason
entered an order granting the Plaintiffs' Motion to Substitute Next
Friends at Docket 255.
Bonnie Yazzie is substituted at the next friend for Mary B. and
Connor B. Justin Lazenby is substituted as next friend for Lana H.
Next, the Court grants the Defendants' Motions to Supplement at
Docket 228 and Docket 297.
Further, the Court grants the Plaintiffs' motion for class
certification, certifying two classes as follows:
-- A General Class of all children for whom Alaska's Office of
Children's Services ("OCS") has or will have legal
responsibility and who are or will be in the legal and
physical custody of OCS.223
The General Class is certified as to the Plaintiffs'
substantive due process claim (Claim 1) and Child Welfare Act
("CWA") claim (Claim 3) only.
-- An Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") Subclass of
children who are or will be in foster care and experience
physical, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities.
The ADA Subclass is certified as to Plaintiffs' ADA and
Rehabilitation Act claims (Claims 6 & 7) only.
Lastly, the Court grants the Plaintiffs' motion to amend motion for
class certification and appointment of class counsel at Docket 324.
The Court appoints the the Plaintiffs' counsel, including Kevin
Homiak and Galen Bellamy of Wheeler Trigg O'Donnell LLP, as class
counsel in this matter.
The Court finds that Ms. Yazzie has a "significant relationship
with, and is truly dedicated to the best interests of," Mary B. and
Connor B.39 Ms. Yazzie's disagreement with some of the factual
allegations or legal arguments in this case is immaterial, as she
is not a party or a witness and this case involves whether OCS
practices presently violate the rights of children in OCS custody.
The Court finds that Lana H. has shown injury-in-fact, causation,
and redressability by a preponderance of the evidence and she
therefore has standing to bring the ADA claim.

ALLIANZ SE: 9th Cir. Affirms Dismissal of Weir Securities Lawsuit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the appeal styled DAVID WEIR, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. ALLIANZ SE;
ALLIANZ GLOBAL INVESTORS U.S. LLC, Defendants - Appellees, and
OLIVER BATE, Defendant, No. 24-4249 (9th Cir.), Judges Richard R.
Clifton, Jay S. Bybee and Danielle J. Forrest affirmed the
dismissal by the United States District Court for the Central
District of California of David Weir's class action complaint
against Allianz SE and its subsidiary Allianz Global Investors US
for federal securities violations.
Weir argues that two types of statements were materially
misleading: Allianz's statements about its overall risk
organization and roles in risk management and its three lines of
defense, and Allianz's statements about its risk mitigation
activities and system of internal controls. The Ninth Circuit finds
neither were materially misleading because they are akin to
transparently aspirational statements or corporate puffery.
Weir also argues that Allianz claimed not only that it had internal
controls and risk management procedures, but that those procedures
ensured compliance. Allianz said that its risk management approach
ensures that effective controls or other risk mitigation activities
are in place for all significant operational risks. According to
the Ninth Circuit, in this case, Allianz did not promise to
eliminate risk or that misconduct would never occur. Instead,
Allianz promised only that effective controls or other risk
mitigation activities are in place.
The Circuit Judges hold, "We agree that Weir failed to state a
claim against Allianz because he did not adequately plead that
Allianz made material misrepresentations. Weir also failed to state
claims against AGI US because he failed to satisfy the
purchaser-seller requirement for a federal securities fraud suit.
Accordingly, Weir did not state a controlling person claim. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291, and we affirm."

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Galuppo Alleges ERISA Breaches
-------------------------------------------------
RONALD R. GALUPPO JR., individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC, AMERICAN
AIRLINES EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMITTEE, and HARVEY WATT & COMPANY,
Defendants, Case No. 4:25-cv-00599-P (N.D. Tex., June 6, 2025)
seeks to recover long-term disability benefits due but unlawfully
withheld under the terms of the American Airlines, Inc. Pilot Long
Term Disability Plan, which is an "employee welfare benefit plan"
under Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The Plaintiff brings claims for breach of fiduciary duties under
ERISA, accusing the Defendants of failing to provide a full and
fair review of his benefit claim as required by ERISA. He further
alleges that the Defendants systematically miscalculated his LTD
benefits, and those of other similarly situated Plan participants
and beneficiaries, by improperly excluding certain forms of
compensation, including: vacation, ratification bonuses, profit
sharing, one-time supplemental payment, bereavement, grievance
payouts, extended sick bank, and Special Assignment--from the
calculation of Average Monthly Compensation used to determine the
monthly LTD benefit amount under the Plan.

AMERICAN FAMILY: Hacker Bid to Seal Docs Tossed

In the class action lawsuit captioned as Craig Hacker, v. American
Family Mutual Insurance Company SI, et al., Case No.
2:22-cv-01936-DLR (D. Ariz.), the Hon. Judge Douglas L. Rayes
entered an order denying the Plaintiff's motion to seal.
In any event, the Court construes the Plaintiff's motion to seal as
the functional equivalent of the notice that otherwise would have
been required by LRCiv 5.6(d).
So construed, the Defendant's "response" to the Plaintiff's motion
to seal would have been the functional equivalent of its notice of
withdrawal of confidentiality designations or motion to seal.

AMERIHOME MORTGAGE: Benson Suit Seeks Class Certification
---------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as BENSON, et al, V.
AMERIHOME MORTGAGE COMPANY, LLC, et al, Case No. 2:24-cv-03467-JDW
(E.D. Pa.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order granting
the Plaintiff's motion for class certification
severance and complaint submission:
"All persons or entities who held, purchased, or beneficially
owned Wells Fargo-issued or sponsored mortgage-backed
securities (MBS) between Jan. 1, 2018, and Dec. 31, 2023, and
suffered economic losses directly attributable to penalties
imposed on Wells Fargo for mortgage-related violations during
that period."
The Plaintiff moves to certify a class under FRCP 23(b)(3),
mirroring In re Countrywide Fin. Corp. Sec. Litig., 273 F.R.D. 586
(C.D. Cal. 2009), where certification was granted for investors
harmed by systemic mortgage fraud and a pattern of poor business
practices.
Wells Fargo's corporate recidivism in mortgage servicing
constituted bad business practices, adverse to regulatory
requirements and often fraudulent practices that directly and
intentionally degraded MBS value (bypassing stock market prices as
these two market’s fluctuations do not coincide).
Complaint Core Allegations
Wells Fargo operated a systemic mortgage servicing fraud (2018
CFPB: $1B; 2020 SEC: $3B; 2022 CFPB: $3.7B; 2023 class action:
$1B), violating its own post-2016 'ethics commitments' and
regulatory mandates.

APEX GLOBAL: Daly Sues Over Failure to Safeguard PII/PHI
--------------------------------------------------------
Tremayne Daly, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. APEX GLOBAL SOLUTIONS, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-05198-LJL
(S.D.N.Y., June 22, 2025), is brought against Defendant for its
failure to properly secure and safeguard personally identifiable
information and personal health information (together, "PII/PHI")
of Plaintiff and the Class members, including, without limitation:
names, dates of birth, home addresses, phone numbers, Social
Security numbers, driver's license numbers, medical services
received, dates of servicer, insurance information, treating
provider, medical treatment/diagnosis information, and financial
information.
In the course of its operations, the Defendant is entrusted with an
extensive amount of the Plaintiff's and the Class members' PII/PHI.
By obtaining, collecting, using, and deriving a benefit from the
Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII/PHI, the Defendant assumed
non-delegable legal and equitable duties to the Plaintiff and the
Class members. Between June 18, 2024 and July 2, 2024, an intruder
gained entry to the Defendant's network, accessed the Plaintiff's
and the Class members' PII/PHI, and exfiltrated information (the
"Data Breach Incident").
The Defendant did not notify the Plaintiff and the Class members of
the incident until June 9, 2025, depriving the Plaintiff and the
Class Members of almost one year to protect themselves from the
fallout of the Incident. The Plaintiff's and the Class members'
PII/PHI was compromised due to the Defendant's negligent acts and
omissions and the failure to protect the Plaintiff's and the Class
members' PII/PHI. The Plaintiff and Class Members continue to be at
significant risk of identity theft and various other forms of
personal, social, and financial harm. The risk will remain for
their respective lifetimes.
The Defendant disregarded the rights of the Plaintiff and the Class
members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, or negligently
failing to take and implement adequate and reasonable measures to
ensure their PII/PHI was safeguarded, failing to take available
steps to prevent an unauthorized disclosure of data, and failing to
follow applicable, required and appropriate protocols, policies and
procedures regarding the encryption of data in the possession of
its vendor. As a result, the PII/PHI of the Plaintiff and Class
Members was compromised through access to and exfiltration by an
unknown and unauthorized third party, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff's PII/PHI was maintained by the Defendant by
utilizing a database and software.
The Defendant is a domestic limited liability company with its
principal place of business located in Montebello, New York.[BN]

APEX GLOBAL: Fails to Protect Personal, Health Info, Morrison Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
TOMISHUA MORRISON, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. APEX GLOBAL SOLUTIONS, LLC,
Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-05034 (S.D.N.Y., June 16, 2025) is a
class action against the Defendant for negligence, negligence per
se, breach of third-party beneficiary contract, unjust enrichment,
and violation of the New York General Business Law after an unnamed
threat actor gained access to Defendant's information systems
through a cybersecurity incident, involving information about its
customers, including Plaintiff.
The Defendant collects a significant amount of data including
personally identifiable information including patient names,
addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, drivers'
license numbers; financial account information; and protected
health information including health insurance information, provider
name, and other treatment information.
On or around July 14, 2024, the Defendant discovered suspicious
activity on its network systems. The Defendant discovered that an
unauthorized third-party accessed Defendant's systems between June
18, 2024, and July 2, 2024. This resulted in a double-extortion
ransomware attack on its systems in which hackers infiltrated
Defendant's information systems, performed reconnaissance
operations, identified and stole valuable files containing Class
Members' private information, and then encrypted Defendant's
systems.
Given that Defendant did not realize that it had been infiltrated
until the hackers announced themselves by disrupting Defendant'
information systems, it is likely that Defendant failed to
implement necessary and expected monitoring, alerting, and data
loss prevention tools that would have identified the malicious
activity in a timelier manner, says the suit.
Because of the Defendant's failures, the Plaintiff and the proposed
Class Members have suffered a severe invasion of their privacy and
must now face a substantial increase in identity theft and
financial fraud for years to come.

APEX GLOBAL: Fails to Secure Personal Info, Williams Says
---------------------------------------------------------
KANDICE WILLIAMS, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. APEX GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LLC, Defendant, Case
No. 7:25-cv-05040 (S.D.N.Y., June 16, 2025) arises from Defendant's
failure to protect highly sensitive personal identifiable
information and protected health information about its current and
former clients and their employees and patients.
According to a letter sent to Data Breach victims, cybercriminals
had unfettered access to Defendant's computer network for 14 days.
In other words, the Defendant had no effective means to prevent,
detect, stop, or mitigate breaches of its systems -- thereby
allowing cybercriminals roam undetected and steal its current and
former clients and their employees' and patients' PII/PHI.
The complaint asserts that cybercriminals were able to breach
Defendant's systems because Defendant failed to adequately train
its employees on cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable
security safeguards or protocols to protect the Class' PII/PHI. In
short, Defendant's failures placed the Class' PII/PHI in a
vulnerable position -- rendering them easy targets for
cybercriminals.
The Plaintiff is a Data Breach victim, having received a breach
notice. She brings this class action on behalf of herself, and all
others harmed by Defendant's misconduct.

ATKORE INC: Conspires to Fix PVC Water Pipes' Prices, Suit Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
NORTHERN MORAINE WASTEWATER RECLAMATION DISTRICT, individually and
on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. ATKORE,
INC., DIAMOND PLASTICS CORPORATION, IPEX USA LLC, JM EAGLE, INC.,
NATIONAL PIPE & PLASTICS, INC., OTTER TAIL CORPORATION, WESTLAKE

Classes, consisting of all persons or entities who purchased PVC
municipal water pipes indirectly for end use from a Defendant in
the United States from at least January 1, 2021, to the present.
The Plaintiff's claims arise from Defendants' conspiracy to fix
prices and overcharge Plaintiff and the Class for PVC municipal
water pipes. PVC is an acronym for polyvinyl chloride, which is a
polymer of plastic. Considered commodity products, PVC Pipes are
tubular sections or hollow cylinders made from PVC. The demand for
PVC pipes is relatively stable due to the prevalence of
construction projects and infrastructure maintenance in the United
States.
During the Class Period, the Plaintiff alleges that Defendants and
their Co-conspirators conspired and combined to fix, raise,
maintain, and stabilize the price of PVC Pipes in the United
States. The Defendants did so by communicating through an
information-exchange firm called OPIS, which enabled the Defendants
to discuss and signal their pricing activities, gain access to
standardized pricing data from their competitors, and collectively
extract artificially inflated profits from their customers.
The Defendants' anticompetitive actions widened the spread between
the price that they pay to manufacture PVC Pipes and the price at
which they sold PVC Pipes, damaging Plaintiff and the Class, says
the suit.
Plaintiff Northern Moraine Wastewater Reclamation District is an
independent municipal corporation located in Island Lake, Illinois.
It operates a public sewage and wastewater collection and treatment
facility that serves more than 15,000 people across the communities
of Lakemoor, Port Barrington, Island Lake, and Holiday Hills, as
well and unincorporated areas of Lake and McHenry Counties,
Illinois.
Atkore, Inc. is a manufacturer of PVC Pipes in the United
States.[BN]

CASSAVA SCIENCES: Plaintiffs Seek Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit Re Cassava Sciences, Inc. Securities
Litigation, Case No. 1:21-cv-00751-DAE (W.D. Tex.), the Plaintiffs
ask the Court to enter an order:
-- certifying the Class;
-- appointing them to serve as Class Representatives; and
-- appointing Lead Counsel Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP to
serve as Class Counsel.
The proposed Class includes:
"All purchasers or acquirers of Cassava common stock or call
options on Cassava common or sellers of put options on Cassava
common stock ("Cassava Securities") between Sept. 14, 2020 and
Oct. 12, 2023, inclusive."
Excluded from the Class are the Defendants and their immediate
families, the officers and directors of the Company and their
immediate families, their legal representatives, heirs,
successors or assigns, and any entity in which any of the
Defendants have or had a controlling interest.
This securities fraud class action alleges violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Cassava and three of its
top executives: CEO Barbier, CFO Schoen, and Senior VP Burns.
The Plaintiffs allege that, between Sept. 14, 2020, and Oct. 12,
2023, inclusive, the Defendants engaged in a fraudulent scheme to
promote their experimental Alzheimer's drug, simufilam, by
concealing facts that undermined the integrity of Cassava’s
research.
Specifically, the Defendants used research tainted by extensive
data manipulation to obtain National Institutes of Health grants
and publish "in peer-reviewed journals" as part of a "strategy"
(i.e. scheme) to "validate]" Cassava's "unique scientific
approach."
Cassava is an American pharmaceutical company.

due to age before their 22nd birthday between Nov. 11, 2020
and the present."
On July 10, 2024, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion and
certified the following provisional class:
"All students with disabilities in Washington who aged out of
their special education programs at the end of the 2022-2023
school year who have not yet turned 22 and all students with
disabilities in Washington at risk of aging out of their
special education programs before they turn 22 years old as a
result of Section 28A.155.020 of the Revised Code of
Washington and Section 392.172A.02000(2)(c) of the Washington
Administrative Code."

CITY JEANS: Faces Zhang Suit Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
------------------------------------------------------------
ANDREW ZHANG, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. City Jeans, Inc., Defendant, Case No.
1:25-cv-05031 (S.D.N.Y., June 16, 2025) is a civil rights action
against City Jeans for its failure to design, construct, maintain,
and operate its website, https://www.cityjeans.com, to be fully
accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind
or visually-impaired persons in violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, and the New
York City Human Rights Law.
According to the complaint, the website contains access barriers
that prevent free and full use by Plaintiff and blind persons using
keyboards and screen-reading software. These barriers are pervasive
and include, but are not limited to inaccurate heading hierarchy,
inadequate focus order, ambiguous link texts, unclear labels for
interactive elements, the denial of keyboard access for some
interactive elements, and the requirement that transactions be
performed solely with a mouse.
The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in
policies, practices, and procedures so that Defendant's website
will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired
consumers. This complaint also seeks compensatory damages to
compensate Class members for having been subjected to unlawful
discrimination.
City Jeans, Inc. operates the website that offers a range of
footwear and apparel for men, women, and children, including boots,
sandals, slippers, sneakers, coats, jackets, hoodies, pants,
shirts, and accessories.[BN]

COINBASE GLOBAL: Faces Carmassi Suit Over Private Data Breach
-------------------------------------------------------------
GIOVANNI CARMASSI, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. COINBASE GLOBAL, INC. and
COINBASE, INC., Defendants, Case No. 4:25-cv-04838 (N.D. Cal., June
6, 2025) arises from Defendants' failure to adequately secure and
safeguard his and at least 69,460 other individuals' personally
identifiable information (PII) including names, addresses, masked
Social Security numbers, masked bank account numbers, bank account
identifiers, government identification images, account data, and
limited corporate data.
Despite knowing of the data breach since January 2025, the
Defendants only began notifying impacted persons nearly four months
later, on May 15, 2025, exacerbating the damages and risks to Class
Members, and in violation of various state data breach notification
statutes. The data breach notice letters also obscure the true
nature of the cyberattack and threat it posed--failing to
adequately inform Plaintiff and Class Members how many people were
impacted, how the "cybercriminals" accessed Defendants' systems and
the root cause of the Data Breach, whether the exfiltrated
information was encrypted or anonymized, why it took so long to
notify victims, or what specific remedial steps Defendants have
taken to safeguard PII within their systems and networks and to
prevent further cyberattacks going forward.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, now alleges claims for negligence, breach of
implied contract, unjust enrichment or quasi-contract, and
violation of the California Customer Records Act, California
Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, and California's Unfair Competition
Law.

COMMUNICATIONS DATA: Fails to Protect Personal Info, Watson Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
MICHELE WATSON, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. COMMUNICATIONS DATA GROUP, INC, d/b/a CDG,
DUO COUNTY TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE CORPORATION, INC. d/b/a DUO
BROADBAND, and CUMBERLAND CELLULAR, LLC, d/b/a DUO BROADBAND,
Defendants, Case No. 2:25-cv-02180-JEH-RLH (C.D. Ill., June 17,
2025) is a class action arising from Defendants' failure to protect
highly sensitive data.
According to the complaint, the Defendants stores a litany of
highly sensitive personal identifiable information about their
current and former customers, including Plaintiff. But Defendants
lost control over that data when cybercriminals infiltrated their
insufficiently protected computer systems in a data breach.
Cybercriminals were able to breach Defendants' systems because
Defendants failed to adequately train their employees on
cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards
or protocols to protect the Class' PII. In short, Defendants'
failures placed the Class' PII in a vulnerable position --
rendering them easy targets for cybercriminals, says the suit.

CSX TRANSPORTATION: Loses Bid to Dismiss Blanton Suit
-----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MICHAEL BLANTON, v. CSX
TRANSPORTATION, INC., Case No. 3:24-cv-00922-TJC-MCR (M.D. Fla.),
the Hon. Judge Timothy Corrigan entered an order that:
1. The Defendant's motion to dismiss is denied. The Defendant
shall answer the complaint no later than July 25, 2025.
2. The parties shall file a case management report no later than
July 25, 2025.
When Blanton filed this suit, it was more than three years after
his termination. The motion to dismiss makes a single argument:
that Blanton’s lawsuit is barred by FMLA’s two- or three-year
statute of limitations.
The circumstances of this case fall under the reasoning of American
Pipe and Crown, Cork, & Seal Co., and tolling is proper.
CSX argues tolling does not apply because the proposed class in
Bell was an improper "fail-safe" class and that it did not give CSX
"the essential information necessary to determine both the subject
matter and size of the prospective litigation."
The Defendant employed the Plaintiff until December 2020. CSX
terminated the Plaintiff for a workplace rules violation—alleged
misuse of time off on Dec. 24, 2020, under the Family and Medical
Leave Act.
CSX is a Class I freight railroad company.

DAILYPAY INC: Davis Sues Over Predatory Lending Practices
---------------------------------------------------------
TERRY DAVIS, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly
situ ated, Plaintiff v. DAILYPAY, INC., and DAILYPAY, LLC,
Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-03204-VMC (N.D. Ga., June 6, 2025)
arises from Defendants' predatory lending practices that allegedly
violated Georgia's Payday Lending Act.
According to the complaint, the Defendants extend earned wage
advance (EWA) products to borrowers. These EWA products are
small-dollar advances that are usually for less than $100, and
charges fees between $1.99 and $3.99. However, the resulting annual
percentage rates of these products are matching loan-shark rates.
Moreover, these EWA products trap users in a cycle of reborrowing
that increases their financial distress, all in service of
generating revenue for predatory lenders, including Defendants,
says the suit.
DailyPay, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York,
NY. The company offers and enters into loan agreements with Georgia

In the class action lawsuit captioned as STACEY GARBOWIT and ALLEY
MCINNIS, individually and on behalf of all persons similarly
situated, v. DATAVANT, INC., as successor by merger to CIOX HEALTH,
LLC d/b/a CIOX HEALTH, WEST BOCA MEDICAL CENTER, INC., a Florida
corporation, and DELRAY MEDICAL CENTER, INC., a Florida
corporation, Case No. 9:25-cv-80345-DMM (S.D. Fla.), the Plaintiffs
ask the Court to enter an order certifying a class defined as:
"All natural persons in Florida who, individually or through
an authorized representative, requested access to their
medical records and who, in violation of Florida law, were
charged an excessive fee to obtain electronic access to their
healthcare records by the Defendant, Datavant, acting on
behalf of a hospital."
Excluded from the Class are the presiding judge and any
members of his or her immediate family, present and former

Also excluded are any federal, state, or local governmental
entities and any jurors assigned to this action.
The case is a class action, brought under Florida law, on behalf of
Florida citizens who were charged copy fees by the Defendant, who
acts on behalf of hospitals to provide electronic copies of patient
hospital medical records, which far exceed the maximum limit

2:25-cv-07957 (D.N.J., June 6, 2025) accuses the Defendant of

The Plaintiff brings the civil rights action against Defendant for
its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website
to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and
other blind or visually-impaired people. Due to the Defendant's
failure to build the website in a manner that is compatible with
screen access programs, the Plaintiff was unable to understand and
properly interact with the website, and was thus denied the benefit
of purchasing the pet food she wished to acquire from the website,
says the suit.

DONALD TRUMP: Thakur Suit Seeks Provisional Class Certification
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as NEETA THAKUR, et al., v.
DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-04737-RFL (N.D. Cal.),
the Hon. Judge Rita Lin entered an order granting the Plaintiffs'
motion for a preliminary injunction as modified and provisionally
certifying two classes.
The Plaintiffs ask the Court to vacate the grant terminations and
preliminarily enjoin Defendants from giving effect to those
terminations.
They seek this relief on behalf of themselves and a proposed class
of similarly situated UC researchers who likewise had their grants
terminated via form letters without a reasoned explanation and for
researching forbidden topics.
The Plaintiffs are also likely to succeed on their claims that the
en masse terminations via form letter were arbitrary and
capricious.
Plaintiffs have also shown irreparable harm. The undisputed
evidence is that the termination of their funding will likely
result in layoffs, educational interruptions, impair ongoing
research projects, harm Plaintiffs’ careers and reputations, and
suppress protected speech.
These claims present issues that are classically suited for
classwide adjudication. The numerous grant terminations for
researching forbidden topics raise common legal issues of viewpoint
discrimination and statutory authorization. Likewise, the record
shows that the mass terminations were carried out in a concerted
fashion through form letters with the same common flaws.
Accordingly, two overlapping classes of UC researchers will be
certified, consisting generally of (a) those whose grants were
terminated for researching blacklisted DEI topics, and (b) those
whose grants were terminated by form letter without any
grant-specific explanation.
The Plaintiffs allege specifically that the National Endowment for
the Humanities, the National Science Foundation, and the
Environmental Protection Agency abruptly terminated multi-year
grants that had previously been awarded to fund their research.
The Plaintiffs contend that these terminations lacked any reasoned
explanation and contravened the agencies' congressionally mandated
statutory purposes.
The Plaintiffs are six UC researchers who had multi-year grants
supporting their research suddenly terminated without explanation.
Donald Trump is an American politician, media personality, and
businessman.

DYCK O'NEAL: Seeks More Time to File Class Cert Response
--------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as KAREN SAUNDERS, v. DYCK
O'NEAL, INC., Case No. 1:17-cv-00335-RJJ-MV (W.D. Mich.), the
Defendant asks the Court to enter an order extending the deadline
for the Defendant to file its responses to the Plaintiff's motion
for class certification and motion for summary judgment, up to and
including July 16, 2025.
Due to briefing deadlines in other matters, including one federal
appeals case, defense counsel needs additional time to prepare
briefing in this case.
The Defendant therefore requests the court grant an extension of 14
days to file response briefs to the pending motions.
Granting the Defendant's request will not prejudice the Plaintiff,
who has consented to the requested relief.
On June 4, 2025, the Plaintiff filed her motion for class
certification and her motion for summary judgment.

GENERAL MOTORS: Wrice-Scott Sues Over Engine Defect, Recall Remedy
------------------------------------------------------------------
FELICIA WRICE-SCOTT, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. GENERAL MOTORS LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 2:25-cv-11815-TGB-APP (E.D. Pa., June 17, 2025) is a class
action brought by the Plaintiff to recover the material economic
losses she has suffered as a result of GM's alleged misconduct
arising from the underlying defective V-8 engines and GM's recall
remedy.
According to the complaint, the Defendant has recalled 600,000
trucks and SUVs following an investigation conducted by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. GM admitted that a
major defect in its 6.2-liter V-8 engines caused catastrophic
engine failure (the "Engine Defect"). GM now requires owners to
start using higher-viscosity motor oil as part of a recall remedy.
Thicker oil may (or may not) help mitigate the Engine Defect, but
it will also materially decrease fuel economy and require owners to
purchase hundreds of extra gallons of gasoline over their vehicles'
lifespans.
Thus, due to the underlying defect and GM's recall remedy, owners
are presented with two bad options: do nothing, risk catastrophic
engine failure, or get the recall and pay hundreds of dollars more
for gasoline, says the suit.
The Plaintiff purchased a new 2023 Chevrolet Suburban -- a "Class
Vehicle" -- on or around August 2022, from a dealer in Cherry Hill,
New Jersey. The Plaintiff decided to purchase the Class Vehicle
based in part on GM's representations and omissions regarding the
vehicle's reliability, performance, cost of ownership, and fuel
economy. He did not know that the Class Vehicle had a defect that
could lead to catastrophic failure or that, in an effort to remedy
the Engine Defect, GM would require owners to use a
higher-viscosity motor oil that would materially decrease the
vehicle's fuel economy.

J. NIBLOCK, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly
situated, v. MARINEMAX, INC., Case No. 8:24-cv-01784-MSS-AEP (M.D.
Fla.), the Hon. Judge Mary Scriven entered an order granting the

MDL 3143: Bid for Broad Cross-Use of Plaintiffs' Docs Tossed
------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit Re: OpenAI, Inc. Copyright Infringement
Litigation, Case No. 1:25-md-03143 (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Ona
T. Wang entered an order denying OpenAI's request for broad
cross-use of the Plaintiffs' documents and depositions.
The parties are directed to meet and confer on OpenAI's AEO
designations and inform the Court how they have elected to proceed
by June 30, 2025. The parties are directed to begin finalizing and
to submit a finalized deposition protocol and omnibus protective
order for the Court's review by July 7, 2025.
OpenAI asserts, in conclusory fashion, that absent broad,
unfettered cross-use of Plaintiffs' documents, "[f]or the reasons
discussed in OpenAI's supplemental letter regarding the Deposition
Protocol," OpenAI "will have to litigate the cases individually,
for example, filing separate motions on common issues" that the MDL
Court could otherwise address at once.
Notwithstanding OpenAI's failure to articulate ripe issues, the
Court has reviewed ECF 223—which discusses OpenAI's arguments
about deposition protocol disputes—but finds only the same
speculative and conclusory arguments for the cross-use of
Plaintiffs' depositions.
The Plaintiffs assert that OpenAI used their copyrighted material
to train their LLMs, and OpenAI has not articulated why one
Plaintiff's documents are relevant to OpenAI's defenses in another
case brought by a different Plaintiff.

META PLATFORMS: Tracking Pixel Collects Users' Info, Timothee Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
NATASSIA TIMOTHEE, TOMMY DIEP, ESPERANZA REYES, MARIAELENA

PLATFORMS, INC., SACRAMENTO FOOD BANK AND FAMILY SERVICES, LOS
ANGELES REGIONAL FOOD BANK, CENTRAL CALIFORNIA FOOD BANK, and SAN
FRANCISCO FOOD BANK d/b/a SAN FRANCISCO-MARIN FOOD BANK,
Defendants, Case No. 3:25-cv-05106 (N.D. Cal., June 17, 2025)
arises from the Defendants' violation of the California Invasion of
Privacy Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, the common law right to privacy, and
California's Constitutional Right to Privacy.
According to the complaint, the Defendants incorporate Meta's
tracking technology, the Meta Tracking Pixel, on their websites,
which they know allows Meta to contemporaneously intercept, and
subsequently sell, vast quantities of Plaintiffs and other users'
sensitive financial and personal information, including medical
information, without their knowledge or consent.
Meta (formerly known as Facebook) offers to website owners the
Pixel, which allows owners to track users' actions on their
websites, and measure the effectiveness of advertising, by adding
the Pixel's source code to their websites. When embedded on a
third-party website, the Pixel tracks each user's activity on that
website and sends that data to Meta, linking this information with
users' personal identities.
Through the Pixel, Meta collects information such as visited
websites and user interactions with content, allowing Meta to build
detailed user profiles. Over time, as the Pixel collects more data,
Meta can refine and expand the user profile, enabling it to serve
highly-targeted advertisements based on a user's habits and
preferences, for its own profit, alleges the suit.

Florida corporation, Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-01543-RSH-DEB
(S.D. Cal., June 17, 2025) alleges that Defendant's Vegan Protein
Powder products are misbranded and falsely advertised because they
feature deceptive protein claims on the label and misrepresent the
percent of Recommended Daily Value of protein contained in each
serving in violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act.
The complaint asserts that protein claims on the principal display
panels of the Products are deceptive and misleading to reasonable
consumers because these claims are not clarified and contextualized
by the disclosure of the quality-adjusted percent daily value in
the Nutrition Facts panel.
Consumers including Plaintiff reasonably relied on these label
statements such that they would not have purchased the Products
from Defendant if the truth about the Products was known, or would
have only been willing to pay a substantially reduced price for the
Products had they known that Defendant’s representations were
false and misleading, says the suit.

ON Q FINANCIAL: ConnectWise's Bid to Dismiss Feathers Suit OK'd
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Jack Feathers, et al., v.
On Q Financial LLC, et al., Case No. 2:24-cv-00811-SMB (D. Ariz.),
the Hon. Judge Susan Brnovich entered an order granting the
Defendant ConnectWise's motion to dismiss.
The further entered an order:
-- dismissing the Plaintiffs' negligence and declaratory relief
claims as to ConnectWise without prejudice and dismissing the
negligence per se claim with prejudice.
-- giving the Plaintiffs leave to amend their Complaint.
The Plaintiffs shall have 30 days from the date of this Order to
file a Second Amended Complaint if they so choose.
At bottom, Plaintiffs have not shown that declaratory judgment
entered against ConnectWise would redress any alleged injury. As a
result, Plaintiffs lack standing to bring a declaratory judgment
claim against ConnectWise, and the Court will therefore dismiss the
claim as asserted against ConnectWise.
Therefore, the Plaintiffs have failed to allege that ConnectWise
owed them a cognizable duty under Arizona law. As a result, their
negligence claim fails and must be dismissed.
The case is a data breach case in which hackers accessed and
exfiltrated personally identifiable information (PII) from the
customer databases of Defendant On Q Financial, a mortgage lender.
On Feb. 13, 2024, an independent security researcher notified
ConnectWise that an issue with its ScreenConnect program could
allow unauthorized actors to access the software.
On March 29, 2024, On Q Financial sent Plaintiffs a Notice of Data
Security Incident letter.
On Q operates as a mortgage company.

OPENAI INC: Bid for Broad Cross-Use of Millette Docs Tossed
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Millette v. OpenAI, Inc.
et al. (RE: OPENAI, INC., COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LITIGATION), Case
No. 1:25-cv-03297 (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Ona T. Wang entered an
order denying OpenAI's request for broad cross-use of the
Plaintiffs' documents and depositions.
The parties are directed to meet and confer on OpenAI's AEO
designations and inform the Court how they have elected to proceed
by June 30, 2025. The parties are directed to begin finalizing and
to submit a finalized deposition protocol and omnibus protective
order for the Court's review by July 7, 2025.
OpenAI asserts, in conclusory fashion, that absent broad,
unfettered cross-use of Plaintiffs' documents, "[f]or the reasons
discussed in OpenAI's supplemental letter regarding the Deposition
Protocol," OpenAI "will have to litigate the cases individually,
for example, filing separate motions on common issues" that the MDL
Court could otherwise address at once.
Notwithstanding OpenAI's failure to articulate ripe issues, the
Court has reviewed ECF 223—which discusses OpenAI's arguments
about deposition protocol disputes—but finds only the same
speculative and conclusory arguments for the cross-use of
Plaintiffs' depositions.
The Plaintiffs assert that OpenAI used their copyrighted material
to train their LLMs, and OpenAI has not articulated why one
Plaintiff's documents are relevant to OpenAI's defenses in another
case brought by a different Plaintiff.
OpenAI operates as an investment company.

v. PHARMACARE U.S., INC., Case No. 3:21-cv-00137-JES-AHG (S.D.

Plaintiffs Demetra Binder, Angela Waldner, Christina Calcagno, and

"Action") against Premium Brands OpCo LLC ("Defendant"), on behalf
of themselves and all others similarly situated. The Action alleges
that Defendant advertised purportedly improper discounts on
merchandise sold in its Ann Taylor Factory Stores or Loft Outlet
Stores.
Defendant denies each and every one of the allegations of unlawful
conduct, any wrongdoing, and any liability whatsoever, and no court
or other entity has made any judgment or other determination of any
liability. Defendant further denies that any Class Member is
entitled to any relief and, other than for Settlement purposes,
that this Action is appropriate for certification as a class
action.
The Court has decided that everyone who fits within one of the
following descriptions is a Class Member for purposes of the
proposed Settlement:
California Class:
All persons who, while in the state of California purchased one or

general public, will be transferable to others without restriction,
and will be usable in conjunction with any other discount or offer.
The Settlement Vouchers can be used at any time, for a period of
six months after they are distributed, and will have no residual
value if the amount redeemed is less than the Settlement Voucher
amount. Settlement Vouchers are not redeemable for cash (including

NEUROSCIENCE INSTITUTE d/b/a PROVIDENCE; and JANE AND JOHN DOES
1–6, Case No. 4:25-cv-05025-SAB (E.D. Wash.), the Hon. Judge Stan
Bastian entered an order consolidating Sells, Goold, And Angulo,
for the purpose of considering class certification:
The suits are:
"Sells et al v. Providence St. Joseph Health et al., Case No.
4:24-CV05160- SAB;"
"Goold, et al, v. Dreyer, et al., Case No. 4:25-CV-05025-SAB;
and
"Angulo, et al., v. Providence Health & Services Washington
et al., Case 4:25-CV-05029-SAB, are consolidated, for the
purpose of resolving the issue of class certification.
The parties shall utilize case No. 4:25-CV-05029-SAB for any
filings.
The Defendant's motion to dismiss or stay in Sells Suit is
denied. The Plaintiffs' request to strike the Defendants' filing
of material facts, noted in their response is denied.
The Defendant's motion to dismiss, first to file in Goold Suit
is denied. The Plaintiffs' request to strike the Defendants' filing

and Goold Suit until the issue of class certification is resolved.

The District Court Clerk is directed to enter this Order, provide
copies to counsel, and administratively close Sells suit and Goold
suit.
The Court finds consolidation appropriate for managing these three
related matters and for the purposes of adjudicating the question
of class certification. All three cases involve patients who
allegedly suffered harm from surgeries performed and medical advice
provided by Drs. Dreyer or Elskens,
In Angulo, the Plaintiffs further seek to certify two classes of

treatment.
MultiCare Class:
"All surgical patients of Dr. Jason A. Dreyer, DO, while he was
employed in Spokane, Washington, by MultiCare Health Systems,
from May 3, 2019, through November 18, 2021.
The Angulo case was filed in King County Superior Court on May 13,
2022.
On March 19, 2025, it was transferred to the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Washington, because of several related
pending matters and in the interest of justice and judicial
economy.
The Sells case was filed on December 4, 2024, in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Washington and pursuant to 28
U.S.C. section 1332. The Goold case was filed on March 11, 2025, in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington and
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1332.

RENKIM CORP: Faces Cundiff Suit Over Data Security Failures
-----------------------------------------------------------
ECHO DAWN CUNDIFF, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. RENKIM CORPORATION, Defendant,
Case No. 2:25-cv-11692-SJM-APP (E.D. Mich., June 6, 2025) arises
from Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard
Plaintiff's and other similarly situated current and former
customers' of Defendant's clients sensitive information, including
personally identifiable information such as name, medical debt
account balance, Social Security number, date of service, contact
information, and protected health information such as patient
reference number.
On June 2, 2025, the Defendant announced that an unauthorized actor
gained access to its network on March 2, 2025. Hackers accessed and
acquired files containing unencrypted private information of
Plaintiff and Class Members. Moreover, Defendant failed to timely
and adequately notify Plaintiff and Class Members about the data
breach's occurrence and scope. Accordingly, the Plaintiff now seeks
redress for Defendant's unlawful conduct and asserts claims for
negligence, breach of third-party beneficiary, unjust enrichment,
and for violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act and the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
Headquartered in Southgate, MI, Renkim Corporation operates as a
consumer communications company. It provides both print and
electronic mail solutions to its clients. [BN]

RENTGROW INC: Bid for Sanctions Tossed
--------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Szewczyk v. RentGrow,
Inc., Case No. 1:22-cv-10734 (D. Mass., Filed May 11, 2022), the
Hon. Judge Myong J. Joun entered an order denying the Defendant's
Motion for Sanctions:
The litigation arises under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The
Plaintiff alleged that RentGrow's tenant screening report falsely
or misleadingly implied that he was registered on the national sex
offender registry, when in fact his record was limited to the
Colorado registry.
The Plaintiff brought both individual and putative class claims.
Following the close of discovery, the Court granted summary
judgment for RentGrow.
RentGrow faults Plaintiff for failing to develop admissible
evidence that its report caused a loss of housing. While that
deficiency proved fatal at summary judgment, the Court cannot
conclude that continuing the case amounted to bad faith or
unreasonably multiplied the proceedings.[CC]
SALVATION ARMY: Fails to Safeguard Private Data, Roach Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
MICHAEL ROACH, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. THE SALVATION ARMY NATIONAL CORPORATION,
Defendant, Case No. 1:25-cv-01024 (E.D. Va., June 16, 2025) is a
class action against Salvation Army for its failure to properly
secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated
individuals' personally identifiable information from criminal
hackers, including names, dates of birth, addresses, Social
Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and/or other government
identification card numbers.
On or about March 28, 2025, Cybernews' dark web tracker,
Ransomlooker, first noted a post by the ransomware gang Chaos,
indicating that it had obtained sensitive information from
Salvation Army and that the data will be released soon. While
Salvation Army has not yet acknowledged the attack, Chaos very
recently posted a sample of the stolen data. Based on this sample
date, the information affected appears to be the PII of up to
101,000 employees and 1.4 million volunteers, says the suit.
The Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit to address Salvation
Army's inadequate safeguarding of Class Members' PII that it
collected and maintained, and its failure to provide timely and
adequate notice to Plaintiff and Class Members of the breach, the
types of information that were accessed, and that such information
was subject to unauthorized access by cybercriminals.
The Plaintiff seeks to remedy the harms on behalf of Plaintiff and
all similarly situated individuals whose PII was accessed and/or
compromised during the Data Breach. Accordingly, the Plaintiff,
individually and on behalf of the Class, asserts claims for
negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, unjust
enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of confidence, and
declaratory and injunctive relief.
The Plaintiff is a former employee of Salvation Army. He provided
PII to Salvation Army in connection with obtaining employment.
Salvation Army is a national non-profit headquartered in
Alexandria, Virginia. It is part of an international organization
and is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church.[BN]

Background and History of the Litigation
On January 19, 2023, Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP
("BLB&G") filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of California alleging violations of the
federal securities laws by Silvergate Capital Corporation
("Silvergate" or the "Company"), certain of the Company's senior
executives, members of the Company's Board of Directors, and the
underwriters of Silvergate's secondary public offerings of Class A
common stock (the "SPOs"), conducted on or around January 22, 2021,
and December 7, 2021.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, and in
connection with the SPOs, Silvergate made false and misleading
statements to investors concerning the Company's robust compliance
framework, as well as its anti-money laundering and customer
identification programs. Silvergate also assured investors that it
maintained sufficient liquidity to cover inflows and outflows on
its platform. The complaint alleges that, in truth, the Company's
lax compliance practices enabled its customers to engage in large
scale criminal activities, including an egregious fraud perpetrated
by FTX and Alameda Research and massive money laundering
operations.
Plaintiffs further allege that the truth began to emerge on
November 7, 2022, when Silvergate announced the sudden and
unexplained demotion of its Chief Risk Officer, Tyler Pearson—the
son-in-law of CEO Alan J. Lane.
Over the ensuing months, news continued to emerge concerning the
Company's lax compliance practices, which allowed its customers to
engage in large scale criminal activities, including a massive
fraud at FTX and money laundering operations. Then, on January 5,
2023, the Company disclosed that the collapse of FTX led to a run
on Silvergate Bank, causing its deposits to decline by $8.1
billion, or over 68%, over the three months ending in December
2022. The complaint alleges that these disclosures caused a
precipitous decline in the price of Silvergate shares.
On March 1, 2023, the Court appointed International Union of
Operating Engineers, Local No. 793, Members Pension Benefit Trust
of Ontario, UMC Benefit Board, Inc. and Wespath Institutional
Investments LLC, both as administrative trustees of the Wespath
Funds Trust, Indiana Public Retirement System, Boston Retirement
System, and Public School Teachers' Pension & Retirement Fund of
Chicago as Lead Plaintiffs and approved their selection of BLB&G as
co-Lead Counsel for the Class.
Lead Plaintiffs filed the amended, operative complaint on May 11,
2023. Defendants filed their motions to dismiss the complaint on
July 10, 2023, and the parties completed briefing on October 23,
2023. Judge Simmons held a hearing on Defendants' motions on
November 29, 2023. Defendants' motions remained pending until they
were denied as moot, without prejudice to refiling, in light of the
Parties' Settlement.
At the end of June 2024, the Parties held their first mediation
session, in what would become extended settlement negotiations
conducted through the Honorable Layn Phillips, a former federal
judge and well-respected mediator. In connection with the
mediation, the Parties exchanged extensive mediation statements,
including as to potential damages, and Defendants provided
Plaintiffs' counsel with additional financial information. During
that first session, Plaintiffs and Defendants exchanged multiple
offers, but a resolution was not achieved. However, the Parties
continued to engage in settlement negotiations through Judge
Phillips, with Defendants providing Plaintiffs further financial
information over the next several months.
On September 18, 2024, Silvergate Capital filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. The Parties engaged in further negotiations
in light of the bankruptcy over the next few months and ultimately
agreed to a second in-person mediation session with Judge Phillips
on February 6, 2025. The Parties met for a full-day session with
Judge Phillips on that date and continued their negotiations. That
mediation session was ultimately unsuccessful, but extensive
negotiations continued over subsequent months. Finally, the Parties
came to agreement on key monetary and non-monetary terms, which
then culminated in a signed term sheet and, ultimately, a
Stipulation of Settlement that was executed on May 9, 2025.
On May 22, 2025, the Court preliminarily approved the Settlement
and authorized notice of the Settlement to be sent to potential
Settlement Class Members. The Court has scheduled the final
Settlement Hearing to consider whether to grant final approval to
the Settlement and related matters for September 3, 2025.

motion to deem timely the filings of the Plaintiff's unopposed
motion for preliminary approval of proposed class action settlement
and for issuance of notice to settlement class and the Plaintiff's

As a result, the Plaintiff's filings were submitted approximately

Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
The delay was minimal and unintentional. Plaintiff made good-faith
efforts to file the motions prior to the deadline.

WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC: Miller Sues Over Illegal Wage Policies
-------------------------------------------------------------
DAVID F. MILLER III, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE,
Defendant, Case No. 2585CV0810C (Mass. Super., Worcester Cty., June
16, 2025) arises from the Defendant's unfair policy and practice of
paying its employees whom it classifies as exempt on a monthly
basis on the final business day of the month for the work performed
during that month, even though these employees did not elect to be
paid monthly, in violation of the Massachusetts Wage Act.
According to the complaint, the Defendant's illegal policy of
paying its faculty and adjunct faculty members on a monthly basis
on the final business day of the month for the work performed
during that month, results in all wages earned in the first half of
the month being paid, at a minimum, approximately nine days late.
The Defendant's illegal wage policies have resulted in the
withholding of millions of dollars in wages, causing harm to the
Plaintiff and all other similarly situated employees classified by
Defendant as exempt, who have been employed by Defendant at any
time from three years prior to April 24, 2025, through to the final
judgment of this matter, asserts the complaint.
Plaintiff Miller is an adult resident of Norfolk County,
Massachusetts. He has been employed by Worcester Polytechnic
Institute as an Adjunct Instructor since approximately May 2013.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute is a private university located in
Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts.[BN]

ZZ DAY SPA: Faces Campbell Suit Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
---------------------------------------------------------------

situated, Plaintiff v. ZZ DAY SPA, INC, Defendant, Case No.
1:25-cv-04782 (S.D.N.Y., June 6, 2025), arises from Defendant’s
failure to make its website usable and independently accessible to
blind and visually impaired individuals.
According to the complaint, the Defendant's website displays
information about services, promotions, and other offerings.
However, significant accessibility barriers prevent blind and
visually impaired users from browsing or completing transactions.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff now seeks redress for Defendant's
discriminatory conduct and asserts claims for violations of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights
Law, and the New York City Human Rights Law.
ZZ Day Spa, Inc. offers spa services, including massages and
facials, through its website, https://zzdayspa.com, which allows

Asbestos Litigation
ASBESTOS UPDATE: Con Edison Has $1.03BB Superfund Liabilities
-------------------------------------------------------------
Consolidated Edison, Inc., at March 31, 2025, accrued liabilities
of US$941,000,000 for manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites and
US$91,000,000 for Other Superfund sites for a total of
US$1,101,000,000 in environmental liabilities, according to the
Company's Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of
operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present
at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or
previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or
stored.
The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund)
impose
joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators
of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs
(which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage,
replacement, containment and monitoring) and natural resource
damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be
imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past
acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at
which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under
these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any
neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are
referred to herein as "Superfund Sites."
For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible
parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation
and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of
the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and,
where
determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund
Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one
of
the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the
accrued liability represents an estimate of the company's share of
the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that
have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate
the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate
of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light
of the information available, applicable remediation standards and
experience with similar sites.
ASBESTOS UPDATE: Creditors Contest Judge's Talc Trial Handling
--------------------------------------------------------------
Benjamin Hernandez of Bloomberg Law reports that a committee
representing asbestos claimants is contesting Judge Marvin Isgur's
recommendation to move a central dispute in Barretts Minerals
Inc.'s Chapter 11 case from bankruptcy court to federal district
court.
In an objection filed Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the unsecured
creditors' committee claimed the proposed transfer would violate
established legal precedent and infringe upon the constitutional
rights of asbestos victims. The committee urged the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Texas to keep the matter in the
Houston bankruptcy court, where Judge Marvin Isgur is currently
overseeing the case.
ASBESTOS UPDATE: GMS Inc. Faces Product Liability Lawsuits
----------------------------------------------------------
GMS INC., certain of its subsidiaries, have been the subject of
claims related to alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products
they distributed prior to 1979, according to the Company's Form
10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company states, "The building materials industry has been
subject to personal injury and property damage claims arising from
alleged exposure to raw materials contained in building products as
well as claims for incidents of catastrophic loss, such as building
fires. As a distributor of building materials, we face an inherent
risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of the
products we have distributed in the past or may in the future
distribute is alleged to have resulted in economic loss, personal
injury or property damage or to have violated environmental, health
or safety or other laws. Such product liability claims have
included and may in the future include allegations of defects in
manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers
inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability or a breach
of warranties."

interest to Meadwestvaco, and DOES 1 THROUGH 400 INCLUSIVE, et
al.,
Case No. 25STCV17238 (Cal. Super. Ct., Los Angeles Cty., June 13,
2025), is brought arising out of Defendants' purposeful efforts to
serve directly or indirectly the market for their asbestos and/or
asbestos containing products, including but not limited to talc,
in
this State, either through direct sales or utilizing an established
distributing channel with the expectation that their products
would
be purchased and/or used with the State of California.
As a direct and proximate result of Defendants' conduct, Decedent
was exposed to respirable asbestos, which he inhaled and which
thereby entered his body, and which caused him to suffer the severe
and permanent harm, up to and including death, as set forth
herein.
Decedent suffered permanent injuries, including, but not limited to
mesothelioma, and ultimately death, and the mental, physical and
emotional distress attendant thereto, all to Plaintiffs' incurred
general damages in a sum in excess of $75,000.00.
Decedent and Plaintiffs have paid and/or incurred liability for
medical costs, including, but not limited to, the costs of
physicians, surgeons, nurses, hospital care, medicine, hospices,
medical imaging, palliative care and other medical treatment, and
funeral expenses, the true and exact amount thereof being unknown
to Plaintiffs at this time. Decedent incurred loss of the ability
to perform household services, loss of income, a diminishment of
earning potential, and other pecuniary losses, the full nature and
extent of which are not yet known to Plaintiffs, says the
complaint.
The Plaintiff, Eva Medina, is the spouse of Lawrence Medina
("Decedent").
The Defendants bottled, blended, mixed, marketed, manufactured,
sold, supplied, distributed, rebranded, relabeled, and otherwise
placed asbestos-containing products into the stream of
commerce.[BN]
