Mo., July 15, 2025), is brought based upon Defendant's failure to remove physical barriers to access and violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and the ADA's Accessibility Guidelines, 28 C.F.R. Part 36 ("ADAAG"). The Defendant, as property owner, is responsible for complying with the ADA for both the exterior portions and interior portions of the Property. Even if there is a lease between Defendant, 2187 SCL LLC, and a tenant allocating responsibilities for ADA compliance within the unit the tenant operates, that lease is only between the property owner and the tenant and does not abrogate the Defendant's requirement to comply with the ADA for the entire Property it owns, including the interior portions of the Property which are public accommodations. The Plaintiff has been a customer of St. Charles Lanes once before. The Plaintiff's inability to fully access the Property and St. Charles Lanes in a safe manner and in a manner which inhibits the free and equal enjoyment of the goods and services offered at the Property, both now and into the foreseeable future, constitutes an injury in fact as recognized by Congress and is historically viewed by Federal Courts as an injury in fact, says the complaint. The Plaintiff uses a wheelchair for mobility purposes. 2187 SCL LLC is a domestic limited liability corporation that transacts business in the State of Missouri.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Douglas S.

Acacia Network, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-04814-ER (S.D.N.Y.), the Defendants ask the Court to enter an order granting request that all submission deadlines relating to the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification be stayed pending the results of a mediation that the parties have just agreed to engage in.

AFLAC INCORPORATED, Case No. 4:25-cv-00227-CDL (M.D. Ga., July 11, 2025), is brought arises from Defendant's failure to secure the personally identifiable information ("PII") and protected health information ("PHI") (collectively, "Private Information") of Plaintiff and the proposed Class members, where Plaintiff provided her Private Information to Defendant for supplemental insurance services and product. On or about 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. According to the Notice Email, the Private Information intruders accessed and infiltrated from Defendant's systems included claims information, health information, social security numbers, and/or other personal information, related to customers, beneficiaries, employees, agents, and other individuals in Defendant's U.S. business. 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, says the complaint. The Plaintiff was required to provide Defendant with their sensitive and confidential Private Information. The Defendant is a Georgia corporation with its headquarters and principal place of business located in Columbus, Georgia.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Richard M. Kammer, III, Esq.

AHOLD DELHAIZE USA SERVICES, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-00587 (M.D.N.C., July 11, 2025) alleges that Ahold failed to properly secure and safeguard the Plaintiff's and Class members' personally identifiable information stored within the Defendant's information network. Accordingly, the harm resulting from a breach of private data manifests in a number of ways, including identity theft and financial fraud. The exposure of a person's PII through a data breach ensures that such person will be at a substantially increased and certainly impending risk of identity theft crimes compared to the rest of the population, potentially for the rest of their lives. The Plaintiff brings this Class action on behalf of Plaintiff and other individuals whose PII was accessed and exposed to unauthorized third parties during a data breach of the Defendant's system between November 5th and 6th of 2024, which was announced when Defendant began providing notices on or about June 26, 2025 (Data Breach). The Defendant and its subsidiaries receive and handle PII, which includes grocery store employees' full names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver's license, or state ID numbers, financial account, and payment information, claims and health information. The Plaintiff was an employee of an entity owned by Ahold and entrusted his information to Defendant with the reasonable expectation and mutual understanding that Defendant would comply with their obligations to keep such information confidential and secure from unauthorized access. Ahold is the services provider for grocery stores in the United States owned by non-party Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. a/k/a Royal Ahold Delhaize, an international retailing group based in the Netherlands and primarily active in the United States and Europe.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: John O'Neal, Esq.

ANNE ARUNDEL DERMATOLOGY, P.A., Case No. 1:25-cv-02274-GLR (D. Md., July 14, 2025) is a class action lawsuit on behalf of all persons who entrusted Defendant with sensitive Personally Identifiable Information and Protected Health Information that was impacted in a data breach that the Defendant publicly disclosed in July 2025. On July 14, 2025, the Defendant issued a Notice of Data Breach to individuals impacted by the Data Breach. The Notice states that Defendant recently detected unauthorized access to certain parts of its IT systems. The Data Breach is believed to have occurred between February 14, 2025, and May 13, 2025, during which time an unidentified third party may have gained access to confidential files. In response to the Data Breach, the Defendant launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. The Defendant's investigation concluded on June 27, 2025. Accordingly, the following types of Private Information were compromised as a result of the Data Breach: name, date of birth, patient ID, medical record number, health history, financial information, insurance information, and appointment history. The Defendant's failure to timely report the Data Breach made the victims vulnerable to identity theft without any warnings to monitor their financial accounts or credit reports to prevent unauthorized use of their Private Information, asserts the suit. The Defendant is a dermatology practice group headquartered in Linthicum Heights, Maryland.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Zachary E. Howerton, Esq. David K. Lietz, Esq.

ARBOR ASSOCIATES, INC., Case No. 1:25-cv-00775 (W.D. Mich., July 14, 2025) alleges that Arbor failed to properly secure Plaintiff's and Class Members' personally identifiable information and personal health information that may have included victims' names, contact information, ages, dates of birth, service dates, diagnosis codes, medical record numbers, names of insurers, and/or doctors' names. Arbor has disclosed that on April 17, 2025, it "became aware of unusual network activity." Arbor further disclosed that its subsequent investigation determined that "certain files may have been acquired without authorization between April 15, 2025 and April 17, 2025." As a vendor serving health care providers, Arbor knowingly obtained sensitive PII and PHI and had a resulting duty to securely maintain that information in confidence. Arbor failed to comply with industry standards to protect information systems that contain PII and PHI. The Plaintiff seeks, among other things, orders requiring Arbor to fully and accurately disclose the nature of the information that has been compromised and to adopt sufficient security practices and safeguards to prevent incidents like the disclosure (the Data Breach) in the future, says the suit. The Plaintiff seeks to remedy these harms individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated individuals whose PII and/or PHI were exposed in the Data Breach. The Plaintiff seeks remedies including compensation for time spent responding to the Data Breach and other types of harm, free credit monitoring and identity theft insurance, and injunctive relief including substantial improvements to Arbor's data security policies and practices. Plaintiff Carmen De Gisi is a resident of Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, who received services from Arbor customer Bryn Mawr Medical Specialists Endoscopy Associates. Arbor provides patient research and survey analytics for the healthcare industry.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Nathan J. Fink, Esq.

ARCHERY TRADE ASSOCIATION, INC; BOWTECH INC.; BPS DIRECT, LLC d/b/a BASS PRO SHOPS; CABELA'S LLC; DICK�S SPORTING GOODS, INC.; HOYT ARCHERY, INC.; JAY'S SPORTING GOODS; KINSEY�S OUTDOORS, INC.; LANCASTER ARCHERY SUPPLY, INC.; MATHEWS ARCHERY, INC.; and PRECISION SHOOTING EQUIPMENT, INC., Case No. 3:25-cv-00779 (M.D. Tenn., July 14, 2025) is a class action suit on behalf of the Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of a class consisting of all direct purchasers of Archery Products1 that purchased those products from at least January 1, 2014 until the present. The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants conspired to fix the prices of Archery Products being sold throughout the United States. The Plaintiff seeks treble damages, injunctive relief, and other relief pursuant to the federal antitrust laws for the alleged anticompetitive conduct. The Manufacturer Defendants are some of the largest producers and brands in the Archery Products industry in the United States. Similarly, the Retailer Defendants are among the largest sporting goods retailers in the United States and the largest retailers of Archery Products, the suit says. Prior to the conspiracy, price competition within the industry drove prices for the products in question down, impacting profit margins for manufacturers and retailers. Defendants realized the necessity to act collectively to implement and vigorously enforce minimum advertised price policies throughout the industry in order to combat true price competition, alleges the suit. Archery Products consist of bows, arrows, arrowpoints, targets, and accessories.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Charles Barrett, Esq. Michael J. Flannery, Esq. Evelyn Riley, Esq.

The Plaintiff alleges that Removing Defendants make available "online games in a variety of formats," including "casino-style games" such as slot machines, roulette, and blackjack. The Plaintiff further alleges that Removing Defendants' mobile application offerings constitute "illegal gambling" because they purportedly allow users to risk virtual coins "in hopes of winning more coins to extend their ability to play the game for free." The Plaintiff alleges that risking something of value for money or the "extension of a service entertainment or a privilege of playing at a game or scheme without charge" is illegal gambling under Alabama law.[BN] The Defendants are represented by: Harlan I.

BANG & OLUFSEN AMERICA, INC., a Foreign Profit Corporation D/B/A BANG & OLUFSEN, Case No. 1:25-cv-23152-XXXX (D. Minn., July 15, 2025), is brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). As a result of the Defendant's discriminative website. The Defendant was and still is an organization owning and operating the website located at https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us. Since the website is open through the internet to the public as an extension of the retail stores, by this nexus the website is an intangible service, privilege and advantage of Defendant's brick and mortar locations, the Defendant has subjected itself and the associated website it created and maintains to the requirements of the ADA. The website also services Defendant's physical stores by providing information on its brand and other information that Defendant is interested in communicating to its customers about its physical locations, Although the Website appeared to have an "accessibility" statement displayed and an "accessibility" widget/plugin added, the "accessibility" statement and widget/plugin, when tested, still could not be effectively accessed by, and continued to be a barrier to, blind and visually disabled persons, including Plaintiff as a completely blind person. Plaintiff, although she attempted to access the statement, thus, was unable to receive any meaningful or prompt assistance through the "accessibility" statement and the widget/plugin to enable her to quickly, fully, and effectively navigate the Website, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is and was visually impaired and has rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of the right eye.

BERKOT FOODS, LTD., Case No. 1:25-cv-07839 (N.D. Ill., July 11, 2025), is brought against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard the sensitive personally identifiable information ("PII") of an undetermined amount of customers who shop at Berkot Super Foods.

The request for this information is not mandatory but consumers rely upon the Defendant's good will and reputation in properly safeguarding their information. Such information may include the following: date of birth; Social Security Number; ethnicity, nationality, gender, and other demographic information. On June 26, 2025, Defendant mailed the Plaintiff a notification letter advising that they detected unusual activity in December 2024 and that The Plaintiff's data was compromised. The Plaintiff has experienced attempted fraud/identity theft since the Data Breach. More specifically, he has noticed multiple fraudulent attempts to place small transactions on his bank account. Fortunately, his bank rejected those charges but, in so doing, required the closing of his current accounts, canceling his associated bank cards and opening a series of new accounts which was both inconvenient for the Plaintiff and deprived him access to his funds for a temporary period of time, says the complaint. The Plaintiff and Class Members' privacy suffered in this Data Breach.

Mo., July 11, 2025) alleges that Oracle failed to properly secure and safeguard the Plaintiff's and Class Members' personally identifiable information and protected health information from cybercriminals. After the acquisition, Oracle re-branded Cerner as Oracle Health and began the process of migrating Cerner systems to Oracle Cloud; however, some Cerner servers and the EHR data contained therein were not included in the migration. Defendant Mosaic is a healthcare facility in Missouri and is a customer of Oracle Health's electronic health record services. As part of its operations, Mosaic collects and stores the Private Information of its patients and entrusts the storage and management of such data, in part, to Oracle Health. During the course of doing business, the Defendants are entrusted with the Private Information that patients provide to them. The Defendants' security failures led to a cyberattack that compromised legacy Cerner data servers that store patient data for multiple US healthcare organizations and hospitals, says the suit.

The Clean Supps LLC, Case No. 2:25-at-00904 (E.D. Cal., July 11, 2025) is a class action lawsuit against Inno Supps, which allegedly sells mislabeled dietary supplements on its website, https://www.innosupps.com. According to the complaint, the Defendant claims that the Supplements naturally increase users' GLP-1 levels and cause appetite suppression and weight loss. The Supplements can be purchased individually or in a pack called the "GLP-1 Shred Stack." GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced by the human body. It serves many functions, including slowing digestion, increasing the sensation of satiety after eating, telling the pancreas when to release insulin, and stopping glucose from entering the bloodstream. Medicines such as Ozempic and Wegovy are GLP-1 agonists -- synthetic versions of GLP-1. They are a medicine used to manage type-2 diabetes and are also extremely effective weight loss medications. While naturally-occurring GLP-1 is quickly processed by enzymes in the body, giving it a half-life of only 1 to 2 minutes, GLP-1 agonists are designed to resist enzymes, giving them half-lives as long as 7 days. Additionally, in adults, GLP-1 levels naturally sit around 5-10 pmol/L. After eating, GLP-1 levels naturally rise to about 50 pmol/L to regulate blood sugar and send signals of satiety. Effective GLP-1 agonist medications use a synthetic version of the hormone which can raise GLP-1 levels to around 30,000 pmol/L per 1mg injection. Studies show that by synthetically producing a steadier and more vigorous version of the GLP-1 hormone, medications such as Ozempic curb users' appetites, reduce cravings, and have "been very effective at reducing body weight." This increased hormone intensity and duration is what makes GLP-1 agonists extremely effective weight loss tools. By contrast, simply increasing naturally-produced, short-term GLP-1 by modest amounts cannot create the same effects as GLP 1 agonist medications. Despite this, Inno Supps capitalizes on the increased popularity of GLP-1 agonist medications like Ozempic and Wegovy by falsely claiming that the Supplements can naturally increase users' GLP-1 levels to produce results similar to GLP-1 agonists, such as curbed hunger cravings, extended feelings of satiety, and long-term weight loss, says the suit. Inno Supps sells three products -- the Trim Biome GLP-1 supplement, the Night Shred GLP-1 supplement, and the Inno Shred GLP-1 supplements.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Caleb L. Marker, Esq.

TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY d/b/a COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, Case No. 1:25-cv-05751 (S.D.N.Y., July 11, 2025) arises out of the recent targeted ransomware attack and data breach on the Defendant's network that resulted in unauthorized access to 460gigabytes of information representing approximately 2.5 million applicants. According to the complaint, data acquired in the breach included 1.8 million social security numbers, financial aid package information, and employee pay stubs. As a result of the Data Breach, Class Members suffered ascertainable losses in the form of the benefit of their bargain, out-of-pocket expenses, and the value of their time reasonably incurred to remedy or mitigate the effects of the attack, emotional distress, and the present risk of imminent harm caused by the compromise of their sensitive personal information. The Defendant collects personal data in connection with its business. This personally identifiable information includes the sensitive data which was compromised in the alleged Data Breach.

CONSTELLATION ENERGY CORPORATION, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-02251-ELH (D. Md., July 11, 2025) is a class action brought by the Plaintiffs, individually and on behalf of a class consisting of all persons employed in nuclear power generation by the Nuclear Defendants and their subsidiaries and related entities in the United States from May 1, 2003, to the present day, alleging that Defendants have conspired and combined to fix and suppress the compensation paid to persons employed in nuclear power generation in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The Defendants consist of the 26 Nuclear Defendants, which operate nuclear power plants that collectively produce all the nuclear-generated electricity sold to consumers in the United States, and two consulting companies, Accelerant Technologies LLC and Human Resource Consultants, LLC, which helped the Nuclear Defendants exchange compensation data and conduct in-person meetings to align compensation. The Nuclear Defendants, coconspirators, and their related entities own and/or operate all 54 commercial nuclear power plants in the United States. During the Class Period, the Nuclear Defendants employed hundreds of thousands of Class Members at those plants. Those Class Members worked in various positions in nuclear power generation, including as nuclear operators, nuclear engineers, and nuclear technicians. The Nuclear Defendants compensated Class Members with hourly wages or annual salaries, supplemental forms of monetary compensation such as shift premiums and bonuses, and employment benefits. During the Class Period, each Nuclear Defendant established schedules for hourly wages, annual salaries, other monetary compensation, and employment benefits based on the specific positions and years of experience of the Class Members. This regimented process for determining compensation allowed the Nuclear Defendants to compare compensation rates�and collectively suppress compensation -- across their workforces. The Defendants and coconspirators engaged in a multi-faceted conspiracy to align, fix, and suppress Class Members' compensation. The conspiracy and its objectives were confirmed by multiple confidential witnesses, says the suit. Leo Dorrell was employed by Dominion during the Class Period. As an employee, he was paid an hourly wage and benefits by Virginia Electric & Power Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominion. John Dunn was employed by Entergy during the Class Period. As an employee, he was paid an hourly wage and benefits by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Entergy. He is a resident of the state of Virginia. Constellation is a publicly traded Pennsylvania corporation headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. During the Class Period, Constellation and/or its predecessors, wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries, or other affiliates employed and paid wages, salaries, other compensation, and/or benefits to Class Members in the United States.

Dept. of Corrections' Division of Medical Services; and APPALACHIAN REGIONAL HEALTHCARE, INC., Case No. 5:25-cv-00238-GFVT (E.D. Ky.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order: -- granting her motion for class certification, -- appointing her as class representative, and -- appointing her counsel to represent the certified class pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(g). The Plaintiff seeks certification of a Plaintiff Class pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a) and (b)(2) that includes: "All current and future individuals in the custody of the Kentucky Department of Corrections, whether housed in a state, county, or local facility, who are either diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria or who meet the criteria for a Gender Dysphoria diagnosis, and who have received, or would receive, gender-affirming hormone therapy treatment for their condition absent such care being terminated or withheld by operation of KRS section 197.280(2) and (3)." The case is an action under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 challenging, on Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment grounds, Kentucky's blanket prohibition on public funds being used to provide Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for incarcerated individuals (the "Public Funds Ban")codified at Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) � 197.280(2) and (3). The Plaintiff alleges that the Public Funds Ban, both facially and as-applied, constitutes deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of herself and the class because it terminates previously prescribed (or refuses to provide in the first instance) HRT care for patients who have an objectively serious medical condition -- Gender Dysphoria -- and for whom HRT care is medically necessary and appropriate.

DR. DABBER INC., Case No. 1:25-cv-00604 (W.D.N.Y. July 11, 2025) alleges that the Defendant failed to design, construct, maintain, and operate its interactive website, https://www.drdabber.com, to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired persons.

Because the Defendant's interactive website, including all portions thereof or accessed thereon, is not equally accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers, it violates the ADA. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant�s corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that Defendant's Website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers. The Defendant offers the commercial website to the public.

On Nov. 7, 2024, Defendant identified a cybersecurity incident that impacted certain internal systems. Once the incident was discovered, Defendant launched an investigation, to determine the nature and scope of the Data Breach. The Defendant's investigation revealed that an unauthorized third-party accessed a Secure File Transfer Platform at various times between Oct. 31, 2024, and Nov. 8, 2024.

HAINAN KOREAN FOOD INC., DADADAK CORP, and YEON SENG CHOI, as an individual, Case No. 1:25-cv-03880 (E.D.N.Y., July 11, 2025) arises from the Defendants' alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law. The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants failed to provide the Plaintiff with an accurate wage statement that included all hours worked and all wages received each week when Plaintiff was paid in violation of the New York Labor Law. Moreover, the Defendants were aware that they were not properly compensating Plaintiff and therefore willfully chose to continue to violate the NYLL by not paying Plaintiff proper overtime wages. As a direct result of the Defendants' violations and failure to provide proper wage notices and wage statements, Plaintiff suffered a concrete harm, resulting from Plaintiff's inability to identify Plaintiff's employer to remedy his compensation problems, lack of knowledge about the rates of pay he was receiving and/or should have receiving for his regular hours and overtime hours, terms, and conditions of his pay, and furthermore, an inability to identify his hourly rate of pay to ascertain whether he was being properly paid in compliance with the state and federal laws, which he was not. The Plaintiff brings this action on behalf of himself, and other employees similarly situated as authorized under the FLSA. The employees similarly situated are the collective class: "All persons who are or have been employed by the Defendants as cooks and food preparers, or other similarly titled personnel with substantially similar job requirements and pay provisions, who were performing the same sort of functions for the Defendants, other than the executive and management positions, who have been subject to Defendants' common practices, policies, programs, procedures, protocols and plans including willfully failing and refusing to pay required minimum and overtime wage compensation."

Fla., July 15, 2025), is brought for declaratory and injunctive relief, attorney's fees, costs, and litigation expenses for unlawful disability discrimination in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). The Defendant also owns, controls, maintains, and/or operates an adjunct website, https://www.rimowa.com/us/en/home (the "Website"). One of the functions of the Website is to provide the public information on the locations of Defendant's physical stores.

Thuma, Inc., Case No. 0:25-cv-02861-JRT-SGE (D. Minn., July 15, 2025), is brought arising because Defendant's Website (www.thuma.co) (the "Website" or "Defendant's Website") is not fully and equally accessible to people who are blind or who have low vision in violation of both the general non-discriminatory mandate and the effective communication and auxiliary aids and services requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and its implementing regulations. In addition to her claim under the ADA, Plaintiff also asserts a companion cause of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls its Website and is responsible for the policies, practices, and procedures concerning the Website's development and maintenance. As a consequence of her experience visiting Defendant's Website, including in the past year, and from an investigation performed on her behalf, Plaintiff found Defendant's Website has a number of digital barriers that deny screen reader users like Plaintiff full and equal access to important Website content--content Defendant makes available to its sighted Website users. Still, Plaintiff would like to, intends to, and will attempt to access Defendant's Website in the future to browse, research, or shop online and purchase the products and services that Defendant offers. The Defendant's policies regarding the maintenance and operation of its Website fail to ensure its Website is fully accessible to, and independently usable by, individuals with vision-related disabilities. The Plaintiff and the putative class have been, and in the absence of injunctive relief will continue to be, injured, and discriminated against by Defendant's failure to provide its online Website content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is and has been legally blind and is therefore disabled under the ADA. The Defendant offers bed and bath furniture and accessories for sale, including but not limited to, beds, mattresses, shelving, tables, nightstands, bedding, bath supplies, rugs and more.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Patrick W.

TRANSAK USA LLC, Case No. CACE-25-010305 (Fla. 17th Judicial Cir. Ct., Broward Cty., July 11, 2025), is brought against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiffs and at least 23,113 Class Members' personally identifiable information ("PII") including full names, driver's license, and date of birth (collectively, "Private Information"). On September 23, 2024, hackers targeted and accessed Defendant's network systems and stole Plaintiffs' and Class Members' sensitive, confidential Private Information Stored therein, causing widespread injuries to Plaintiffs and Class Members ("Data Breach"). The Plaintiffs and Class Members are current and former clients Of Defendant, who were and are required to entrust Defendant with their sensitive, non-public Private Information. The Defendant could not perform its operations or provide its services without collecting Plaintiffs' and Class Members' Private Information and retains it for many years, at least, even after the customer relationship has ended. Businesses like Defendant that handle Private Information owe the individuals to whom that data relates a duty to adopt reasonable measures to protect such information from disclosure to unauthorized third parties, and to keep it safe and confidential. The Defendant breached these duties owed to Plaintiffs and Class Members by failing to safeguard their Private Information it collected and maintained, including by failing to implement industry standards for data security to protect against, detect, and stop cyberattacks, which failures allowed criminal hackers to access and steal approximately 23, 113 clients' Private Information from Defendant's care, says the complaint. The Plaintiffs are current and former clients of Defendant. The Defendant is a financial technology Company specializing in fiat to-crypto payment gateway solutions, facilitating transactions between traditional currencies and cryptocurrencies.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: David M.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC., a corporation; and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, Case No. 8:25-cv-01534 (C.D. Cal., July 14, 2025) challenges the unlawful employment practices of UPS with regard to the Defendant's mischaracterization of employees as exempt, failure to pay wages, failure to pay overtime, failure to provide meal breaks and rest periods, inaccurate wage statements, and unfair business practices. On or about 2016, UPS promoted Mr. Flores to the position of a supervisor. Plaintiff Flores excelled in his role and remained employed at UPS. In his role as a supervisor, he was guaranteed an annual pay of approximately $31,000 per year. He was also paid an additional $19-$22 per hour for hours he worked in excess of 27.5 hours per week. But UPS mischaracterized FLORES as an exempt employee. Flore's pay rate was not twice the state minimum wage and fluctuated substantially based on the hours he worked, making him a non-exempt hourly employee under Cal. Lab. Code, asserts the suit. Accordingly, the Plaintiff and others similarly situated were deprived of meal breaks, rest periods, wages, and suffered from loss of income. UPS conducts business and is an employer in the State of California. UPS is a company which facilitates shipping and receiving and supply chain management.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: David McGlothlin, Esq.

Urban Armor Gear, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-07931 (N.D. Ill., July 14, 2025) alleges that the Cedarville failed to design, construct, maintain, and operate its interactive website, Urbanarmorgear.com, to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired persons in violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, prohibiting discrimination against the blind. Because of the Defendant's denial of full and equal access to, and enjoyment of, the goods, benefits and services of the website, Plaintiff and the class have suffered an injury-in-fact which is concrete and particularized and actual and is a direct result of Defendant's conduct. By failing to make its Website available in a manner compatible with computer screen reader programs, the Defendant deprives blind and visually-impaired individuals the benefits of its online goods, content, and services -- all benefits it affords nondisabled individuals -- thereby increasing the sense of isolation and stigma among those persons that Title III was meant to redress, says the suit.

VGW Holdings Limited, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-02184-TWT (N.D. Ga.), the Hon. Judge Thomas W. Thrash, Jr. entered an order: -- granting the Defendants VGW Holdings Limited, VGW Malta Limited, VGW Luckyland Inc., and VGW GP Limited's motion to dismiss; -- granting the Defendants VGW Luckyland Inc. and VGW GP's Motion to Compel Arbitration; -- denying the Plaintiff's motion for leave to amend; and -- denying as moot the Plaintiff's motion to certify class. The Court declines to deny leave to amend on either of these grounds, in light of the liberal standard for allowing amendments and the discretion afforded courts on this issue. The case is still in the early stages of litigation: this is only the Plaintiff's first proposed amendment, and the Court has not yet issued a scheduling order. Moreover, at the time that the Plaintiff sought leave, the Court had not yet ruled on the Defendants' first motion to dismiss. Thus, the Court finds that the Plaintiff's requested amendment is not overly late, prejudicial, or unreasonable and that this case can be fairly characterized as early in the stages of litigation. The case arises from the Defendants' operation of certain casino-themed online games. The Plaintiff Kennedy lost approximately $1,150 gambling on the casino-themed websites operated by the Defendants VGW Malta, VGW Luckyland, and VGW GP. The Plaintiff has additionally named Defendant VGW Holdings as a fourth defendant, alleging that the first three Defendants are subsidiaries and mere agents and alter egos of VGW Holdings. VGW operates an online gaming portal.
