7SECURE LLC: Does Not Properly Pay Workers, Durand Alleges
----------------------------------------------------------
JOHN DURAND, on behalf of himself, FLSA Collective Plaintiffs, and
the Class, Plaintiff v. 7SECURE LLC, and HUKM MYLES MOORE,
Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-04417 (S.D.N.Y., May 27, 2026) is a
class action seeking to recover from Defendants: (1) unpaid wages,
including overtime, due to time-shaving, (2) liquidated damages,
and (3) attorneys' fees and costs.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff, FLSA Collective Members,
and Class Members are current and former security guards and other
similarly positioned employees of Defendants and were victims of
Defendants' schemes to underpay employees. Specifically, despite
requiring employees to work hours beyond their shift and during
meal breaks each day, Defendants would only compensate employees
based on their schedules. Defendants' system resulted in both
pre-and-post shift time-shaving.
The Defendants' company-wide policies and practices affected all
Class Members similarly, and Defendants benefited from the same
type of unfair and/or wrongful acts as to each Class Member.
Plaintiff and other Class Members sustained similar losses,
injuries, and damages arising from the same unlawful policies,
practices, and procedures, says the suit.
The Plaintiff brings this wage and hour class action on behalf of
himself, and all Class Members employed by Defendants nationwide,
who were similarly underpaid by Defendants in violation of
protections afforded under the FLSA and state regulations.
Defendant 7SECURE LLC operates a security and private investigation
company which provides services throughout New York, New Jersey,
and Texas.
Defendant HUKM MYLES MOORE exercises operational control as it
relates to all employees including Plaintiff, FLSA Collective
Plaintiffs, and the Class.[BN]

AIM DISTRIBUTION: Class Cert Filing in Sielaff Extended to July 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Sielaff v. Aim
Distribution Services LLC, Case No. 2:25-cv-00911 (E.D. Wisc.,
Filed June 27, 2025), the Hon. Judge Brett H. Ludwig entered an
order re Joint Motion for Extension of Time:
The deadline for Plaintiff to file her motion for court
authorization of notice of the pendency of the action pursuant to
29 U.S.C. section 216(b) and for class certification pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P 23 is extended from June 1, 2026 to July 1, 2026.
The parties report that they are diligently conducting discovery
and engaging in settlement negotiations and request a one-month
extension for Plaintiff to file her motion for court authorization
of notice of the pendency of the action.
The suit alleges violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Aim offers comprehensive supply chain, logistics, and inventory
management solutions.[CC]
ARIZONA: Solan Loses Bid to Certify Class
-----------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Matthew Phillip Solan,
Nicholas Philip Oakes, David Joshua Burstein, Robert Lee Dunn, and
Bobby Gene Blansett, v. State of Arizona, et al., Case No.
2:25-cv-04179-JJT--DMF (D. Ariz.), the Hon. Judge entered an order
that:
(1) The Plaintiff's motion to certify class is denied.
(2) This case is severed into individual actions, one for each
named Plaintiff. The Clerk of Court must assign a new case
number to each new individual action.
(3) In each new case, the Clerk of Court must file a copy of the
Complaint, the Application to Proceed corresponding to the
individual Plaintiff, the Motion for Temporary Restraining
Order, and this Order. The rulings in this Order shall apply
in each new case.
(4) The individual Plaintiffs must proceed independently from
this point and will not be regarded as co-plaintiffs, except
upon further order of the Court. All further pleadings,
motions, or other papers submitted for filing by an
individual Plaintiff in his separate case must be signed by
the individual Plaintiff, or they will be stricken.
(5) The Applications to Proceed in District Court Without P
repayment of Fees and Costs are denied without prejudice.
(6) Within 30 days of the date this Order is filed, each
Plaintiff must either pay the $350.00 filing fee and $55.00
administrative fee or file a complete Application to
Proceed In Forma Pauperis and a certified six-month trust
account statement (or institutional equivalent) in his
individual case.
(7) If a Plaintiff fails to either pay the $350.00 filing fee
and $55.00 administrative fee or file a complete Application
to Proceed In Forma Pauperis within 30 days, the Clerk of
Court must enter a judgment of dismissal of his individual
action without prejudice and without further notice to
Plaintiff and deny any pending unrelated motions as moot.
(8) The Complaint is dismissed without prejudice.
(9) The Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is denied without
prejudice.
The Court concludes that unitary adjudication of the Plaintiffs'
claims would result in unfairness to the Plaintiffs, the
Defendants, and the Court's goals of achieving judicial economy and
maintaining efficient control of the Court's docket.
Allowing each Plaintiff to proceed separately, however, would
overcome the unfairness created by these circumstances. Therefore,
the Court will sever this action into individual cases, and a new
case number will be assigned to each individually named Plaintiff.
Arizona is a landlocked state situated in the southwestern United
States, bordering Mexico in the south.

BANNER HEALTH: Court Narrows Claims in Kelly Suit
-------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Kelly, v. BANNER HEALTH,
et al., Case No. 2:24-cv-00920-DJC-DMC (E.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge
Daniel Calabretta entered an order granting in part and denying in
part the Defendant's motion to dismiss as follows:
1. Counts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the first amended complaint
are dismissed with leave to amend;
2. Count 4 for sick leave pay is dismissed with prejudice; and
3. The Defendants' motion to dismiss is otherwise denied.
4. The Plaintiff has 21 days from the docketing of this Order to
file a second amended complaint. The Defendants will have 21
days after the docketing of the Second Amended Complaint to
file their next responsive pleading.
The Court found there was good cause under Rule 16 as Plaintiff had
been sufficiently diligent in flagging the prior class
representative's desire to withdraw as soon as it came up.
Moreover, under Rule 15, the Court discussed the effect of the
proposed amendments and ultimately concluded there was no
substantial prejudice to Defendants and that amendment was not
futile. The Court sees no need to revisit that determination here.
The Defendant's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction is therefore denied.
The Plaintiff's meal and rest break claims are not adequately pled.
Thus, the Court grants the Defendants' motion to dismiss the first
and second causes of action with leave to amend.
The Court also denies the Defendants' request for certification of
the Court's prior ruling for interlocutory appeal under 8 U.S.C.
section 1292(b). The Court does not find that there is substantial
ground for difference of opinion as to whether the decision of a
named representative to withdraw as class representative — while
retaining a claim against Defendants — moots the class action
entirely.
Former plaintiff Vincent Kelly initiated this class action on Feb.
16, 2024, in the Superior Court for the County of Lassen, and the
Defendants removed the matter to this Court shortly thereafter.
The Plaintiff alleges violations of certain California Labor Code
provisions and California's Unfair Competition Law.

BARI HOME: Laduca Deadline Extension of Class Cert Bid Filing
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Laduca, et al., v. Bari
Home Care, LLC et al, Case No. 1:24-cv-07970-JAM (E.D.N.Y.), the
Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order granting their motion to
extend the June 8, 2026 pre-class certification discovery deadline
and the June 15, 2026 deadline for the Plaintiffs to seek leave to
move for class certification.
On May 28, 2026, the Parties attended a mediation session with EDNY
mediator Roger Briton, Esq. The Parties made progress towards
potential resolution. However, in order to properly evaluate and
confirm information relating to Plaintiffs' claims, the Defendants
require additional time to investigate and obtain certain payroll
documents from a third-party vendor. Accordingly, the Parties
requested that the mediation be continued to July 13, 2026.
In light of the continued mediation session on July 13, 2026, the
Parties’ request that the deadline to complete pre-class
certification discovery be extended from June 8, 2026 to July 20,
2026, and that the June 15, 2026 deadline for the Plaintiffs to
seek leave to move for class certification be extended to on or
before July 27, 2026.
Both Parties would like to continue to explore settlement before
expending additional resources on motion practice, and believe
there remains a meaningful possibility of resolving this matter.
Should the parties not reach a resolution at the continued
mediation session, the Plaintiffs' counsel needs additional time to
transition the file to a new associate.
Bari is a New York-based home healthcare provider.

BUFFALO, NY: Partly Wins Summary Judgment Bid vs Franklin
---------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as DORETHEA FRANKLIN, TANI
QUA SIMMONS, DE'JON HALL, JANE DOE, individually and on behalf of a
class of others similarly situated, SHIRLEY SARMIENTO, EBONY
YELDON, CHARLES PALMER, SHAKETA REDDEN, and JOSEPH BONDS, v. CITY
OF BUFFALO, N.Y., BYRON B. BROWN, Mayor of the City of Buffalo, in
his individual and official capacities, BYRON C. LOCKWOOD,
Commissioner of the Buffalo Police Depatiment, in his individual
capacity, DANIEL DERENDA, former Commissioner of the Buffalo Police
Department, in his individual capacity, Case No. 1:18-cv-00719-CCR
(W.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Reiss entered an order granting in part
and denying in part the Defendants' motion for summary judgment.
The court grants the Defendants' motion for summary judgment on
Count III and on Count I to the extent Plaintiffs assert
non-Checkpoint claims. The court denies the Defendants' motion for
summary judgment on Count I to the extent Plaintiffs assert
Checkpoint claims, Count II, and Count IV. The court denies the
Defendants' motion for summary judgment with respect to qualified
immunity for Defendants Brown, Derenda, and Lockwood and Defendant
Brown's liability. The court denies as moot the Defendants' motion
for summary judgment on the Plaintiffs' injunctive relief. The
court denies the Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment.
There are genuine disputes of material fact regarding whether
Defendants Brown, Derenda, and Lockwood violated the Constitution
and, if so, how that violation occurred. The court thus cannot
determine whether any constitutional violation was clearly
established.
Although a close question, in the light most favorable to the
Plaintiffs, the undisputed and disputed evidence construed in the
Plaintiffs' favor supports a conclusion that the Defendant Brown
was a direct participant in the challenged conduct and alleged
ensuing constitutional violations. The Defendants' motion for
summary judgment with respect to Defendant Brown's liability is
therefore denied.
The Plaintiffs claim that the City has unlawfully targeted Black
and Latino motorists through the use of administrative traffic
checkpoints (the "Checkpoints"). Even after the Checkpoints were
discontinued, they assert City police officers continue to
systematically target Black and Latino motorists for traffic
enforcement, fines, and penalties.
The Plaintiffs define the Checkpoint Class as:
"All individuals who received a ticket or were arrested at a
BPD 'traffic safety' vehicle checkpoint on or after June 28,
2015."
The Plaintiffs define the Tinted Windows Class as:
"All Black and/or Latino individuals who received multiple
tinted windows tickets from the BPD in a single traffic stop
on or after June 28, 2015."
Buffalo is the second-largest city in the U.S. state of New York
and the seat of Erie County.

CALIX INC: Noor Files Securities Suit Over Share Price Drop
-----------------------------------------------------------
WASEEM NOOR, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly
Situated, Plaintiff v. CALIX, INC., MICHAEL WEENING, and CORY
SINDELAR, Defendants, Case No. 3:26-cv-04993 (N.D. Cal., May 27,
2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its plan, scheme
and course of conduct which was intended to and, throughout the
Class Period, did: (i) deceive the investing public, including
Plaintiff and other Class members; and (ii) cause Plaintiff and
other members of the Class to purchase Calix's securities at
artificially inflated prices.
Defendant Calix, Inc. engages in the provision of cloud and
software platforms, and systems and services. Defendant Michael
Weening was the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Defendant Cory
Sindelar was the Company's Chief Financial Officer.
The complaint relates that throughout the Class Period, Defendants
made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as
failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's
business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants
failed to disclose to investors: (1) the Company's first quarter
margins had significantly benefited from advanced purchasing of
memory components; (2) that the Company's advanced supply of memory
components was dwindling; (3) that, as a result, the Company was
experiencing negative margin pressure as it was forced to purchase
memory components at rising market prices; and (4) that, as a
result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the
Company's margins, business, operations, and prospects were
materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Plaintiff Waseem Noor purchased Calix securities at artificially
inflated prices during the Class Period, and suffered damages as a
result of the federal securities law violations and false and/or
misleading statements and/or material omissions. The price of the
Company's securities significantly declined when the
misrepresentations made to the market, and/or the information to
have been concealed from the market, and/or the effects thereof,
were revealed, causing investors' losses, says the suit.[BN]

CAMBA INC: Jimenez Class Cert Bid Tossed w/o Prejudice
------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Jimenez, et al., v. Camba
Inc. et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-05625 (E.D.N.Y., Filed Oct. 7, 2025),
the Hon. Judge Pamela K. Chen entered an order denying the motion
for class certification without prejudice to renew if a settlement
is not reached.
Since then, the parties have been in settlement discussions and are
scheduled for a settlement conference with the Honorable Seth D.
Eichenholtz, Magistrate Judge, on July 1, 2026.
On October 7, 2025, the Plaintiffs filed a motion for class
certification alongside their complaint.
The suit alleges violation of the Fair Housing Act.
Camba is a multi-service agency that provides community-based
programming including infant and maternal health, family support,

CG MEDICAL: Johnson Suit Seeks Overtime Wages Under FLSA
--------------------------------------------------------
KYLE JOHNSON for himself and all others similarly situated v. CG
MEDICAL ASSOCIATES, INC. and CHETAN GUPTA, M.D., Case No.
1:26-cv-00537-JPH (S.D. Ohio, June 1, 2026) seeks appropriate
monetary, declaratory, and equitable relief based on the
Defendants' willful failure to compensate Plaintiff and
similarly-situated individuals with overtime wages as required by
the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Accordingly, the Defendants repeatedly violated the FLSA by failing
to pay Plaintiff and the similarly situated employees overtime
premium pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek.
The Defendants maintain a policy and practice of treating Plaintiff
and similarly situated employees as non-exempt employees under the
FLSA. The Defendants further maintain a policy and practice of not
paying Plaintiff and the similarly situated employees on a salary
basis by deducting their respective bi-weekly pay in situations
where the Plaintiff and the similarly situated employees did not
work all of their 7 twelve-hour shifts over the two-week pay
periods, says the suit.
The Plaintiff worked for Defendants as a Nurse Practitioner at
Defendants' location in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
The Defendants operate 33 walk-in clinics in Ohio, 7 walk-in
clinics in Kentucky, and 5 walk-in clinics in Nevada.[BN]

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS: Fails to Secure Personal Info, Kent Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
MARIAH KENT, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. d/b/a SPECTRUM, Case No.
3:26-cv-00850 (D. Conn., June 1, 2026) alleges that the Defendant
failed to properly secure and safeguard highly valuable, protected,
personally identifiable information and for its failure to comply
with industry standards to protect information systems that contain
and/or are utilized to transfer personally identifiable
information.
According to the complaint, the Plaintiff has been, and continues
to be, harmed as a result of Charter's failure to properly secure
and safeguard its customers' highly valuable, protected PII
including, inter alia, full names, email addresses, physical
addresses, telephone numbers, account plan information, customer
support ticket details, and Customer Proprietary Network
Information; and for its failure to comply with industry standards
to protect information systems that contain PII.
The Plaintiff and Class members were required to provide their PII
to Defendant as a condition of receiving goods or services from
Defendant in the regular course of Defendant's business activities.
The Defendant is American telecommunications and mass media company

CPAP MEDICAL: Court Narrows Claims in Consolidate Class Action
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as BRETT CONNER, DIANE
EDWARDS, JUWAN OVERSHOWN, STEPHEN FOLLETT, TYRONE GIBBS, CHRIS
HARRIMAN, RODERIC WOODS and JOHN CRIST, v. CPAP MEDICAL SUPPLIES
AND SERVICES INC., Case No. 3:25-cv-00945-WWB-LLL (M.D. Fla.), the
Hon. Judge Berger entered an order as follows:
1. The Defendant's motion to dismiss consolidated class action
complaint is granted in part to the extent provided herein
and denied in all other respects.
2. Counts I and II of the consolidated class action complaint
are dismissed without prejudice.
3. The Plaintiffs may file an amended pleading to correct the
deficiencies noted herein with respect to Counts I and II on
or before June 9, 2026. Failure to timely file an amended
pleading in compliance with this Order will result in Counts
I and II being dismissed with prejudice.
Because the Plaintiffs' only well-pleaded allegations of a nexus
between their harms and the Defendant's data breach are time and
sequence, and because the Plaintiffs' wellpleaded allegations of a
nexus between their harms and the Defendant's negligent actions are
even more tenuous, the Plaintiffs fail to state a claim for
negligence. Count I will be dismissed accordingly.
Further, the Plaintiffs fail to state a claim for breach of implied
contract because their "allegations reveal only that they provided
their personal information as required to receive healthcare
services from the Defendants—not data security services beyond
the privacy requirements already imposed on Defendants by federal
law."
The Plaintiffs in this consolidated, putative class action are
users of Defendant's sleep-apnea products and one contract employee
of the Defendant. They seek to represent a class of victims of the
Defendant's December 2024 data breach, which they allege
compromised their sensitive personal health information and
personally identifiably information.
The Defendant specializes in providing comprehensive sleep therapy
services and CPAP supplies.

FLUKE CORPORATION: Fails to Secure Private Info, Dequaine Alleges
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TIFFANY DEQUAINE, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. FLUKE CORPORATION, Defendant, Case
No. 2:26-cv-1817 (W.D. Wash., May 27, 2026) is a class action
against the Defendant for its negligent failure to protect and
safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' highly sensitive
personally identifiable information ("PII" or "Private
Information"), culminating in a massive and preventable data
breach.
The complaint relates that as part of its business practices and to
provide employment and services, Defendant collects, stores, and
maintains employees' PII, including Plaintiff's and Class Members'.
Plaintiff and Class Members are current and former customers and/or
employees of Defendant.
On September 29, 2025, Fluke discovered suspicious activity on its
network and launched an investigation. This investigation revealed
that criminal third-party actors had access to Fluke's network via
a third-party application and were able to copy customer and
employee PII between approximately August 10, 2025, and October 7,
2025. Although the Breach was discovered on or about September 29,
2025, Defendant delayed noticing affected individuals until around
May 15, 2026, nearly 8 months after the Data Breach, when it began
mailing Notice Letters to affected individuals. Defendant's delay
in alerting impacted individuals of the Breach caused Plaintiff and
Class Members from taking earlier actions to protect themselves
against fraud and misuse of their information, asserts the
complaint.
Due to Defendant's negligent failure to secure and protect
Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information, cybercriminals
have stolen and obtained everything they need to commit identity
theft and wreak havoc on the financial and personal lives of
thousands of individuals, says the suit.
The Plaintiff brings this action individually and on behalf of the
Class, seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages, nominal
damages, restitution, injunctive and declaratory relief, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs, and all other remedies the Court deems
just and proper.
Plaintiff Tiffany Dequaine is a former employee of Fluke and
received a Notice Letter dated May 15, 2026, informing her that her
Social Security number and date of birth was involved in the
Breach.
Defendant Fluke Corporation is the world leader in professional
electronic test tools and software for measuring and condition
monitoring. It is the parent company for multiple companies,
including Comark, Fluke Biochemical, Fluke Calibration, and
more.[BN]

FORMAN MILLS: Rossi Suit Seeks Class Certification

(D.N.J.), the Plaintiffs, on July 6, 2026, will move for an Order

GREAT WOLF: Prout Files ADA Suit Over Use of Synthetic Fragrances
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ANDREW PROUT, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. GREAT WOLF RESORTS, INC., Defendant, Case
No. 1:26-cv-04077-KES-FJS (E.D. Cal., May 27, 2026) is a class
action seeking remedies for Defendant's practice of employing
fragrance in its facilities, in violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA").
Defendant Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. is a business that maintains
lodging, restaurant and bar service, and pool facilities, open to
the public, and its operations significantly affect interstate
commerce.
The Representative Plaintiff asserts that Defendant had, and
continues to have, a consistent policy of releasing Synthetic
fragranced consumer products upon individuals as they enter
Defendant's Facilities. Indeed, by the time these unsuspecting
customers, employees, guests and/or patrons are aware of the
pervasive scents/toxins, it is simply too late: the toxins are
ingested, have landed upon the skin, have entered the lungs and,
thus, entered these victims' bloodstreams and targeted various
organs/systems. Representative Plaintiff Andrew Prout suffers and
continues to suffer from chemical sensitivities and, when exposed
to fragrance, is substantially limited in this Representative
Plaintiff's ability to concentrate and/or breathe, which
unquestionably constitute major life functions. He experiences
symptoms such as respiratory problems, headaches, skin irritation,
and gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and cognitive problems, says
the suit.
The Representative Plaintiff brings this action, individually, and
on behalf of the Class of all persons harmed by the toxic doses of
Synthetic fragranced consumer products at Defendant's Facilities.
Moerover, Representative Plaintiff, individually, and on behalf of
members of the Nationwide Class, seeks injunctive and other
equitable relief, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as a
result of Defendant's numerous unfair, unlawful and deceptive
business practices, as detailed herein, which run afoul of a
multitude of state and federal laws.
Representative Plaintiff Andrew Prout is a natural person with a
physical condition which renders this individual unable to
patronize, visit and/or enjoy the full and equal access to
Defendant's Facilities--so long as this facility continues to
expose patrons to fragranced substances (including carcinogenic
and/or other hazardous air pollutants, and particulate
matter).[BN]

HELEN KAMINSKI: Ramirez Alleges Blind User-Inaccessible Website
---------------------------------------------------------------
ROSEMARIE RAMIREZ, on behalf of herself and all others similarly

Ill., June 1, 2026) arises because the Defendant's s website,
www.helenkaminski.com 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

Minnesota Human Rights Act.
The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction requiring a change in
Defendant's corporate policies to cause its online store to become,
and remain, accessible to individuals with visual disabilities; a
civil penalty payable to the state of Minnesota; damages, and a
damage multiplier.
The Defendant is a company that owns and operates the Website,

HYATT HOTELS: Uses Synthetic Fragrance in Facilities, Kovacs Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CHRISTOPHER KOVACS, MICHELLE POLLOK, and TINA WESTMAN,
individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v.
HYATT HOTELS CORPORATION, Case No. 2:26-cv-02024-DJC-SCR (E.D.
Cal., June 1, 2026) is a class action seeking remedies for the
Defendant's practice of employing Synthetic fragranced consumer
product in it facilities -- despite Defendant's knowledge of the
realities and the discriminatory effect of these practices.
The Defendant claims to offer lodging facilities to the general
public, including Representative Plaintiffs, and markets its
facilities as being available equally to all members of that
public, and yet, engages in practices that prohibit a substantial
segment of that public (i.e., chemically sensitive disabled
individuals) from the same benefits and opportunities of those
facilities afforded to other individuals, the suit says.
Accordingly, Representative Plaintiffs assert that these
percentages would be far greater if those surveyed knew the full
panoply of unregulated and toxic synthetic compounds normally found
within Synthetic fragranced consumer products and their effect on
daily life. A Synthetic fragranced consumer product is a base
product to which synthetic fragrance compounds are then added
and/or is a product that is largely comprised of fragrance.
The Defendant is a business that maintains hotel and other lodging
facilities, open to the public, and its operations significantly
affect interstate commerce, open to the public, and its operations
significantly affect interstate commerce.[BN]

JEROME HARRIS: Additional Class Claims in Alexander Suit Certified
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Alexander v. Harris et
al., Case No. 1:22-cv-01128 (W.D. Tenn.), the Hon. Judge S. Thomas
Anderson entered an order granting the Plaintiffs' motion for
partial reconsideration of order granting class certification.
The Court amends its Class Certification Order and certifies the
following additional class claims and issues for class action:
(1) breach of fiduciary duty against the Estate of Dr. Harris
and Robert Eaton;
(2) conversion against the Estate of Dr. Harris; Sandra Harris;
Eaton; Financial Freedom Funds, LLC; Financial Freedom
Group, Inc.; Trinity Financial Consultants, LLC; Financial
Technologies, LLC; and Day & Night Solar (count 4);
(3) fraudulent concealment against the Estate of Dr. Harris and
Eaton (count 5);
(4) fraudulent misrepresentation against the Estate of Dr.
Harris (count 6); and
(5) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against
Financial Freedom Funds, LLC; Financial Freedom Group, Inc.;
Financial Technologies, LLC; Day & Night Solar; Trinity
Financial Consultants, LLC; the Motorskill Entities; and
Sandra Harris (count 9); and
(6) any affirmative defense preserved by the Defendants named in
these counts and certified for class action. Class counsel
is directed to propose a form of notice to the class and
submit its proposal within 14 days of the entry of this
order.
The Plaintiffs argue in their Motion for Partial Reconsideration
that they can establish measures of damages on other tort claims
outside of the expert opinions reflected in the Dirks/Devor Model.
Because that is a contention the Court did not previously reach,
reconsideration to address the Plaintiff's argument is warranted.
The Plaintiffs initially filed a class certification motion on May
7, 2025. Symetra was the only Defendant to oppose that request.

LENOVO (UNITED STATES): Frost Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
------------------------------------------------------------------
Clarence and Tammy Frost, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. Lenovo (United States) Inc.,
Defendant, Case No. 0:26-cv-02773 (D. Minn., May 27, 2026) arises
because Defendant's Website www.lenovo.com 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 ("ADA") and its
implementing regulations.
The complaint relates that in order to browse, research, or shop
online and purchase the products and services that Defendant
offers, individuals may visit Defendant's Website. As a consequence
of Plaintiff's experience visiting Defendant's Website, including
in the past year, and from an investigation performed on their
behalf, Plaintiffs found Defendant's Website has a number of
digital barriers that deny screen-reader users like Plaintiffs full
and equal access to important Website content.
The complaint alleges that the Plaintiffs 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. The Defendant's policies,
practices, and procedures fail to ensure that its Website does not
discriminate against people who are blind or have low vision within
the meaning of the ADA.
In addition to the claim under the ADA, Plaintiffs also assert a
companion cause of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act
(MHRA). Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction requiring a change
in Defendant's corporate policies to cause its online store to
become, and remain, accessible to individuals with visual
disabilities; a civil penalty payable to the state of Minnesota;
damages, and a damage multiplier pursuant to Minnesota Statute.
Plaintiffs Clarence and Tammy Frost have been legally blind and are
residents of Minnesota.
Defendant Lenovo (United States) Inc. offers computers and
accessories for sale including laptops, desktops, workstations,
monitors, tablets, servers, office essentials, accessories, and
more.[BN]

LINDA SOUTHERN: Carter Allowed to Amend Class Complaint
-------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as WALTER GLENN CARTER, v.
LINDA SOUTHERN, et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-00155-DPM-PSH (E.D. Ark.),
the Hon. Judge entered an order allowing Carter another opportunity
to amend his complaint before it makes a recommendation on a motion
to dismiss.
If Carter elects to file a Second Amended Complaint, he must do so
by July 1, 2026. The Court finds that it would be most efficient to
allow Carter one more opportunity to amend his complaint and
clarify his allegations.
The need for more information is triggered, in part, by the
involvement of Wennerstein in drafting Carter's pleadings on behalf
of multiple inmates, and the lack of specificity as to how Carter's
rights have been allegedly violated and by whom.
Carter should include all relevant facts in his Second Amended
Complaint, including the specific involvement of each named
defendant.
If Carter does not timely file a Second Amended Complaint, the
Court will consider only the factual allegations present in his
Amended Complaint when it analyzes the Defendants' pending motion
to dismiss. If Carter timely files a Second Amended Complaint, the
Defendants shall have 21 days to file a new motion to dismiss or
otherwise respond to the Second Amended Complaint.
The Clerk of Court is directed to send a blank section 1983
complaint form to Carter. Carter is cautioned that a Second Amended
Complaint renders his existing complaints without legal effect;
only his factual allegations and claims set out in the Second
Amended Complaint will be allowed to proceed.
On May 6, 2025, Wennerstein filed a pro se complaint and a motion
for class action status.
On Aug. 11, 2025, plaintiff Walter Glenn Carter filed a pro se
complaint and a petition for class certification.
Carter alleges his religious rights have been infringed by certain
regulations and/or practices in the Arkansas Division of
Correction’s East Arkansas Regional Unit (EARU) where he is
incarcerated.

LOS ANGELES, CA: Renewed Bid for Class Certification Tossed
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as BLACK LIVES MATTER LOS
ANGELES ET AL, v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES, ET AL, Case No.
2:20-cv-05027-CBM-AS (C.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Consuelo B.
Marshall entered an order denying the Plaintiffs' renewed motion
for class certification.
The Court finds that the Plaintiffs' renewed motion does not cure
the deficiencies identified by the Ninth Circuit. While the
Plaintiffs have adjusted some class definitions, the fundamental
facts and necessary analysis underlying the Motion require
individualized considerations and individualized evidence of the
proposed classes and subclasses. Therefore, the Court finds the
Plaintiffs' have not demonstrated that the critical questions or
issues raised by each proposed class or subclass can be resolved on
a class-wide basis.
This putative class action arises out of protests and
demonstrations which occurred throughout Los Angeles in late May
and early June of 2020 in response to the murder of George Floyd.
On July 14, 2025, Plaintiffs were granted leave to file a Fourth
Amended Complaint (the "FAC").
The Plaintiffs propose the following classes and subclasses:
The Injunctive Relief Class defined as:
"All individual persons who have in the past participated,
presently are participating, or may in the future participate
in, or be present at, demonstrations within the City of Los
Angeles in the peaceful exercise of their rights of free
speech, assembly and petition in general, and particularly as
it relates to protesting police violence and discrimination
against people of color, especially African Americans."
The Damages Class, Arrest Class #1 (Arrest Conditions Class)
defined as:
"Beginning May 29, 2020, and continuing through June 2, 2020,
all persons present at or during the aftermath of protests
regarding the killing of George Floyd in the City of Los
Angeles, who were 1) arrested by the LAPD on misdemeanor
and/or infraction charges of failure to obey a curfew, failure
to disperse, failure to follow a lawful order of a police
officer and/or unlawful assembly; 2) who were held on the
street and then on buses or, in a very few instances, in
"Slammer" vans; and 3) subjected to prolonged restraint with
their hands zip tied behind their backs for a minimum of two
hours, causing pain to their wrists. Krystle Hartsfield, Devon
Young, Linus Shentu, Alexander Stamm, Christian Steven Roe,
Maia Kazin, Nelson Lopez, Nadia Khan, Jonathan Mayorca, Nelson
Lopez, Alicia Barrera-Trujillo and Shea Backes are the
proposed class representatives."
The Damages Class, Arrest Class # 2 (False Arrest Class) defined

MACYS.COM LLC: Discloses Website Users' Communication to Meta
-------------------------------------------------------------
RAEANON HARTIGAN, individually and on behalf of others similarly
situated v. MACYS.COM, LLC, Case No. 3:26-cv-03341-JES-AHG (S.D.
Cal., June 1, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for
intercepting, recording, decoding, capturing, disclosing, and using
the contents of Plaintiff's and Class Members' electronic
communications with the Defendant's Website, as well as their
routing, addressing, and signaling information, and for aiding Meta
Platforms, Inc. to do the same, by means of a tracking pixel and
related tracking technologies embedded in Defendant's Website in
violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the
California Invasion of Privacy Act.
According to the complaint, the Meta Pixel and related technologies
did more than capture routing and signaling data. As Plaintiff's
own off-Facebook activity confirms, they intercepted the contents
of Plaintiff’s and Class Members' communications with the Website
-- including the full URL strings, search queries, and the specific
products and content they viewed -- and transmitted those contents
to Meta and other third parties contemporaneously with, and as a
duplicate of, the users' communications with Defendant.
The Plaintiff is a natural person and an adult citizen of the state
of California, domiciled in San Diego County, California.
The Defendant owns and operates the website https://www.macys.com/
Website, through which consumers in California and elsewhere browse
and purchase clothing, accessories, home goods, and beauty
products, and use online deals, order fulfillment, and customer
account services.[BN]

MBO PROFESSIONAL: Jallow Seeks to Recover Unpaid OT Under FLSA
--------------------------------------------------------------
LATONYA JALLOW, on behalf of herself and those similarly situated
v. MBO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INC., a Virginia Corporation, Case
No. 1:2026cv01500 (June 1, 2026) alleges on behalf of the Plaintiff
and others similarly situated current and former non-exempt hourly
paid Anti-Money Laundering workers (AMLs) of Defendant, pursuant to
the Fair Labor Standards Act that they are entitled to unpaid
overtime wages, liquidated damages and award of reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs
The Plaintiff complains that she, as well as other similarly
situated AMLs, were regularly required to work off-the-clock, as a
result of the Defendant's company-wide corporate policies,
applicable to all AML workers, limiting the hours these employees
were allowed to put on their timesheets on a weekly basis.
The Defendant knew that Plaintiff and other AML workers were
working more hours than Defendant let Plaintiff and AML workers
record on their timesheet, resulting in unpaid overtime
compensation occurring for these employees. Based on MBO's uniform
policies, the Plaintiff, and those employees similarly situated to
Plaintiff, were not paid the statutorily required overtime premiums
for all hours worked.

MERCY HOSPITAL: Shepard Suit Seeks Class Certification

5, JANE DOE 6, JANE DOE 7 and JANE DOE 8, v. MERCY HOSPITAL
SPRINGFIELD, Case No. 6:26-cv-03310-DPR (W.D. Mo.), the Plaintiffs
ask the Court to enter an order granting their motion for
certification of class.
Attempting to align every Plaintiffs right to sue timelines
together through joinder is not possible in this instance and the
sole remedy is to combine the Plaintiffs into a class action, the
Plaintiffs aver.
The claims all arise from Title 7 and the rights protected by the
14th amendment. None of the claims arise from another source of law
and the claims are all arising from the same circumstance such as
being fired due to not partaking in the Covid-19 vaccine and in
return being fire/dismissed for it, the Plaintiffs add.
The Defendant is a full-service hospital.

MICHAEL THOMAS: Henderson Loses Bid for Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JOHNDELL HENDERSON, v.
MICHAEL THOMAS, et al., Case No. 5:22-cv-02166-NW (N.D. Cal.), the
Hon. Judge Wise entered an order as follows:
1. The motion for class certification is denied.
2. The motion for appointment of counsel is denied.
Mr. Henderson does not acknowledge Rule 23's requirements and fails
to show that class certification is appropriate.
Although the Court is mindful that Mr. Henderson may need
additional time to prepare his filings due to his medical
conditions and his lost typewriter, his case does not present
exceptional circumstances. Accordingly, the Court denies the motion
for the appointment of counsel. If Mr. Henderson needs additional
time to prepare his legal filings, he may request an extension of
time.
Mr. Henderson filed a motion to certify a class of:
"Muslim prisoners affected by the Defendants' alleged
interference with their ability to exercise their religion at
Salinas Valley State Prison."
Mr. Henderson alleges that several of the Muslim prisoners cosigned
the grievances and appeals Henderson filed regarding some of the
incidents underlying his religious exercise claim, which is
currently pending in this lawsuit.

MONGODB INC: Bid to Reconsider Case Dismissal Filed
---------------------------------------------------
MongoDB, Inc. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for
the period ending April 30, 2026, dated and delivered to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2026, that a class
action against it has been dismissed and a motion for
reconsideration has been filed. Derivative actions stemming from
said action has been stayed pending court ruling.
A putative securities class action lawsuit was filed on July 9,
2024, captioned "Baxter v. MongoDB, Inc., et al." (Case No.
1:24-cv-5191), in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against MongoDB, former CEO Dev Ittycheria,
and former COO and CFO Michael Gordon.
On January 27, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint
naming former Senior Vice President of Finance and former Interim
CFO Srdjan Tanjga as an additional defendant. The operative
complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act and alleges that defendants made material
misstatements and/or omissions, including regarding MongoDB's sales
strategy, growth projections, and its financial results.
The complaint is purportedly brought on behalf of a putative class
of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired MongoDB common stock
between June 1, 2023 and May 30, 2024. It seeks unspecified
monetary damages, costs and attorneys' fees, and other unspecified
relief. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May
9, 2025. Plaintiffs filed an opposition brief on July 1, 2025, and
defendants filed their reply brief on July 29, 2025.
On May 1, 2026, the court entered an order granting defendants'
motion to dismiss in part and denying it in part, as it relates to
four specific statements. On May 15, 2026, defendants filed a
motion for reconsideration of the its order on the motion to
dismiss.
In addition, on Oct. 7, 2024, a purported shareholder derivative
lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York, captioned "Roy v. Ittycheria et al." (Case
No. 1:24-cv-07594), against the company, as a nominal defendant,
and Ittycheria, Gordon, and several of the company's current and
former directors. The lawsuit alleges that the individual
defendants breached their fiduciary duties and committed other
alleged misconduct in connection with the statements at issue in
the Securities Action and by causing the company to issue allegedly
false and misleading statements to investors.
Another similar case, "Silva v. Ittycheria et al." (Case No.
1:24-cv-9014), was subsequently filed in the same district on Nov.
25, 2024 against MongoDB, as nominal defendant, and the same
individual defendants as the Roy action. It has been consolidated
with the Roy action with the caption "In re MongoDB, Inc.
Shareholder Litigation," (Case No. 1:24-cv-9014)
On Sept. 12, 2025, another purported derivative action was filed in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the company,
as a nominal defendant, and Ittycheria, Gordon, and several of its
current and former directors. The case is captioned "Sansone v.
Ittycheria, et al" (Case No. 2025-1030). The lawsuit alleges that
the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and
committed other alleged misconduct in connection with the
statements at issue in the Securities Action and by causing the
company to issue allegedly false and misleading statements to
investors.
Derivative litigations have been stayed pending the outcome of the
court's decision on the defendants' motion for reconsideration in
the securities action.
MongoDB, Inc. is a modern, general-purpose database platform
company best known for its document database MongoDB, used by
enterprises and developers to build, run and scale applications.
The company provides both self-managed and cloud-based database
services to customers worldwide.
NAVY FEDERAL: Withheld Credit Denial Reasons, Castleberry Alleges
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DOMINIC A. CASTLEBERRY, individually, and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION,
Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-01720-X (N.D. Tex., May 27, 2026) is a
class action seeking redress for violations of the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act ("ECOA").
The complaint relates that in February 2026, Plaintiff applied for
a line of credit from Defendant. On February 12, 2026, Plaintiff
received a letter from Defendant denying Plaintiff's credit
application. The letter provided the reasons for the credit denial
("adverse action letter") stating: "After careful consideration, we
are unable to approve your application for the following reason(s):
Limited Credit Experience". However, the adverse action letter
failed to identify the specific reasons for the denial.
The Plaintiff was forced to file this action to obtain information
he is entitled to under the ECOA, notes the complaint. The
Defendant's failure to provide Plaintiff with the specific reasons
for the credit denial deprived Plaintiff of the opportunity to
address or correct the issues that Defendant based its credit
denial on. As a result, Plaintiff was not able to correct the
alleged deficiency that led to the credit denial, adds the
complaint.
Plaintiff DOMINIC A. CASTLEBERRY is a consumer and a natural
person, over 18-years-of-age, residing in Mesquite, Texas.
Defendant NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION is a financial services
institution that provides credit and banking opportunities to
consumers across the United States.[BN]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Manuel Angel Calderon v.
Network Infrastructure, Inc., et al., Case No.
1:24-cv-05442-ALC-BCM (S.D.N.Y.), the Defendants ask the Court to
enter an order granting a brief, one-week extension of the
Defendants' deadline to oppose the Plaintiff's motion for class
certification.
The Defendants request that the briefing schedule established by
the Court be extended as follows:
-- The Defendants' deadline to file their opposition to the
Plaintiff's class certification motion to be extended from
June 3, 2026 to June 10, 2026.
-- The Plaintiff's deadline to file a reply in further support of
the class certification motion to be extended from June 17,
2026 to June 24, 2026.
This extension is being requested because the undersigned had to
unexpectedly travel to Florida due to a medical emergency involving
an immediate family member.
Network is a NY-based utility contracting company.

NEWPORT GROUP: Court Certifies Additional Claims in Ewing Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Ewing v. Newport Group,
Inc. et al. Case No. 2:22-cv-02136 (W.D. Tenn.), the Hon. Judge S.
Thomas Anderson entered an order granting the Plaintiffs' motion
for partial reconsideration of order granting class certification.
The Court amends its Class Certification Order and certifies the
following additional class claims and issues for class action:
(1) breach of fiduciary duty against the Estate of Dr. Harris
and Robert Eaton;
(2) conversion against the Estate of Dr. Harris; Sandra Harris;
Eaton; Financial Freedom Funds, LLC; Financial Freedom
Group, Inc.; Trinity Financial Consultants, LLC; Financial
Technologies, LLC; and Day & Night Solar (count 4);
(3) fraudulent concealment against the Estate of Dr. Harris and
Eaton (count 5);
(4) fraudulent misrepresentation against the Estate of Dr.
Harris (count 6); and
(5) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against
Financial Freedom Funds, LLC; Financial Freedom Group, Inc.;
Financial Technologies, LLC; Day & Night Solar; Trinity
Financial Consultants, LLC; the Motorskill Entities; and
Sandra Harris (count 9); and
(6) any affirmative defense preserved by the Defendants named in
these counts and certified for class action. Class counsel
is directed to propose a form of notice to the class and
submit its proposal within 14 days of the entry of this
order.
The Plaintiffs argue in their Motion for Partial Reconsideration
that they can establish measures of damages on other tort claims
outside of the expert opinions reflected in the Dirks/Devor Model.
Because that is a contention the Court did not previously reach,
reconsideration to address the Plaintiff's argument is warranted.
The Plaintiffs initially filed a class certification motion on May
7, 2025. Symetra was the only Defendant to oppose that request.
Newport operates as retirement services firm.

NEWPORT GROUP: Court Certifies Additional Claims in Wade Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Wade, et al., v. Newport
Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-01126 (W.D. Tenn.), the Hon.
Judge S. Thomas Anderson entered an order granting the Plaintiffs'
motion for partial reconsideration of order granting class
certification.
The Court amends its Class Certification Order and certifies the
following additional class claims and issues for class action:
(1) breach of fiduciary duty against the Estate of Dr. Harris
and Robert Eaton;
(2) conversion against the Estate of Dr. Harris; Sandra Harris;
Eaton; Financial Freedom Funds, LLC; Financial Freedom
Group, Inc.; Trinity Financial Consultants, LLC; Financial
Technologies, LLC; and Day & Night Solar (count 4);
(3) fraudulent concealment against the Estate of Dr. Harris and
Eaton (count 5);
(4) fraudulent misrepresentation against the Estate of Dr.
Harris (count 6); and
(5) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty against
Financial Freedom Funds, LLC; Financial Freedom Group, Inc.;
Financial Technologies, LLC; Day & Night Solar; Trinity
Financial Consultants, LLC; the Motorskill Entities; and
Sandra Harris (count 9); and
(6) any affirmative defense preserved by the Defendants named in
these counts and certified for class action. Class counsel
is directed to propose a form of notice to the class and
submit its proposal within 14 days of the entry of this
order.
The Plaintiffs argue in their Motion for Partial Reconsideration
that they can establish measures of damages on other tort claims
outside of the expert opinions reflected in the Dirks/Devor Model.
Because that is a contention the Court did not previously reach,
reconsideration to address the Plaintiff's argument is warranted.
The Plaintiffs initially filed a class certification motion on May
7, 2025. Symetra was the only Defendant to oppose that request.
Newport operates as retirement services firm.

Case No. 3:24-cv-00649-RGJ (W.D. Ky.), the Hon. Judge Jennings
entered an order granting preliminary approval of class action
settlement agreement.
1. The Agreement provides for a Settlement Class defined as
follows:
"All living individuals residing in the United States whose
Private Information may have been accessed during the Data
Incident, including those individuals who were sent a notice

staff. It is estimated that there are 528,452 persons
potentially in the Settlement Class.
2. The Court finds that the Plaintiffs will likely satisfy the
requirements of Rule 23(e)(2)(A) and should be appointed as
the Class Representatives. Additionally, the Court finds that
Tyler J. Bean of Siri & Glimstad LLP, A. Brooke Murphy of
Murphy Law Firm, Andrew W. Ferich of Ahdoot & Wolfson, PC,
and Jeff Ostrow of Kopelowitz Ostrow P.A. will likely satisfy
the requirements of Rule 23(e)(2)(A) and should be appointed

3. A final approval hearing shall be held on Sept. 23, 2026, at
1:30 PM.

PATHWAY LENDERS: Loan Application Denial Violates ECOA, Suit Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RADLEY BRADFORD, individually, and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. PATHWAY LENDERS, LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 4:26-cv-04203 (S.D. Tex., May 27, 2026) is a class action
seeking redress for violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act
("ECOA").
Defendant PATHWAY LENDERS, LLC is an online lender that provides
financial loans to consumers across the United States.
The complaint relates that in May 2026, Plaintiff applied for a
consolidation loan from Defendant. On May 12, 2026, Plaintiff
received an notification from Defendant denying Plaintiff's loan
application. The email contained a letter that provided the reasons
for the credit denial ("adverse action letter"). The adverse action
letter stated, in pertinent part, as follows: "APPLICATION NOT
APPROVED. A consolidation loan is not the right fit for your
situation - but you have real options below". The adverse action
letter failed to identify the specific reasons for the denial. On
May 12, 2026, Plaintiff sent a letter to Defendant requesting that
Defendant provide more details regarding reason(s) for the credit
denial. Plaintiff's letter was returned to sender, as USPS noted
the location of the Defendant as 'vacant'.
The Defendant violated the ECOA by failing to provide Plaintiff
with specific reasons for the credit denial, alleges the complaint.
Specifically, Defendant failed to specify why Plaintiff was not
approved for a consolidation loan. Defendant also violated the ECOA
by failing to disclose Plaintiff's right to a statement of reasons,
and the identity of the person or office from which such statement
may be obtained. Accordingly, Plaintiff was unable to address or
correct the alleged deficiencies that Defendant based its denial
on, or obtain specific reasons for his denial. Plaintiff suffered
damages as a result of Defendant's violations of the ECOA, adds the
suit.
Plaintiff RADLEY BRADFORD is an African-American consumer and a
natural person, over 18-years-of-age, residing in Houston,
Texas.[BN]

PERRIGO COMPANY: Fails to Protect Personal Info, Ballard Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
ROBIN BALLARD and YEHEZKEL MARX, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. PERRIGO COMPANY,
Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-01710 (W.D. Mich., May 27, 2026) is a
class action against the Defendant for its failure to protect
highly sensitive data.
The complaint relates that as part of its business, Defendant
receives and maintains the highly sensitive personal identifiable
information ("PII") of thousands of its current and former
employees. In collecting and maintaining the PII, Defendant agreed
it would safeguard the data in accordance with its internal
policies, state law, and federal law. On March 4, 2026, Perrigo was
hacked and the cybercriminals that obtained Plaintiffs' and Class
Members' PII appear to be the notorious cybercriminal group
"Termite." Yet, Perrigo waited over until May 19, 2026 -- a full
76 days after the Data Breach was discovered -- before it began
notifying the class.
The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff suffered actual injury
from the exposure and theft of her PII which violates her rights to
privacy. Because of the Data Breach, Plaintiff anticipates spending
considerable amounts of time and money to try and mitigate her
injuries.
In addition to injunctive relief, Plaintiffs, on behalf of
themselves and the other Class Members, seeks compensatory damages
for Defendant's invasion of privacy, which includes the value of
the privacy interest invaded by Defendant, the costs of future
monitoring of their credit history for identity theft and fraud,
plus prejudgment interest and costs.
Plaintiffs Robin Ballard and Yehezkiel Marx are former employees of
Defendant.
Defendant Perrigo Company manufactures branded and private label
over-the-counter health and wellness products, and distributes them
to retailers throughout the United States, Europe and other major
markets.[BN]

PNC FINANCIAL: Keturah Files Suit Over FCCPA Violation
------------------------------------------------------
SHADEE KETURAH, individually and on behalf of all those similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 16-2026-CA-003687-AXXX-MA (Cir. Ct., Duval
Cty., Fla., May 27, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant
for violations of the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act
("FCCPA").
The complaint relates that on a date better known by Defendant,
Defendant began attempting to collect a consumer debt from
Plaintiff by sending Plaintiff a collection communication. On April
2025, Defendant was notified on a phone call, by and through a
'Stop Request', that Plaintiff requested Defendant to stop
contacting them. As such, Defendant knew Plaintiff requested
Defendant to stop contacting Plaintiff. Despite knowing this,
Defendant communicated with and/or contacted Plaintiff in
connection with the collection of the Consumer Debt, by and through
a Second Collection Communication.
In doing so, Defendant willfully engaged in conduct which could
reasonably be expected to abuse or harass Plaintiff. As such, by
and through the Second Collection Communication, Defendant violated
Florida Statute, says the suit.
The Plaintiff seeks statutory damages, injunctive relief, costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees, and any other relief that the Court
deems appropriate under the circumstances.
Plaintiff Shadee Keturah is a natural person, and a citizen of the
State of Florida, residing in Duval County, Florida.
Defendant PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is an American bank
holding company and financial services corporation based in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[BN]

POWERSCHOOL HOLDINGS: Court Junks Bid to Stay Discovery
-------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned RE: POWERSCHOOL HOLDINGS,
INC. AND POWERSCHOOL GROUP, LLC CUSTOMER SECURITY BREACH
LITIGATION, Case No. 3:25-md-03149-AJB-MSB (S.D. Cal.), the Hon.
Judge Battaglia entered an order:
-- denying PowerSchool's Track One motion for reconsideration
pursuant to Rules 54 and 59,
-- denying PowerSchool's motion for certification of
interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. section 1292(b), and
-- denying the related request to stay discovery.
This case is complex, involving numerous similar and distinct legal
theories applied to the same facts against various defendants, with
variations among Plaintiffs, as supported by cases from different
jurisdictions. Therefore, challenging inconsistencies in prior
Orders now—unless they clearly contain errors—only impedes
judicial efficiency in resolving all disputes fairly and promptly.
These issues will likely be addressed soon, but not right now.
Because PowerSchool has not satisfied the threshold for
reconsideration, the Court denies its motion.
On March 18, 2026, the Court issued an order granting in part and
denying in part PowerSchool’s motion to dismiss.
PowerSchool is a provider of cloud-based K-12 education software in
North America.

PROCTER & GAMBLE: Pinto Must Show Case on Non-Dismissal of Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Pinto v. The Procter &

2024), the Hon. Judge Joanna Seybert entered an order as follows:
-- By no later than June 12, 2026, and by way of affidavit, the
Plaintiff is to SHOW CAUSE why this case should not be
dismissed
for failure to prosecute.
In accordance with Magistrate Judge Shields' March 17, 2025

The Defendant is an American multinational consumer goods

PROPHASE LABS: Portillo GIPA Class Suit at Pleading Stage
---------------------------------------------------------
ProPhase Labs, Inc. disclosed in its annual report on Form 10-K,
for the period ending Dec. 31, 2025, dated and delivered to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2026, that the
Portillo GIPA class suit is at pleading stage in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
A putative class action lawsuit, Portillo v. Nebula Genomics, Inc.,
was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois under Illinois Genetic Information Privacy Act (GIPA),
alleging that Nebula improperly shared customers genetic
information with third parties without written consent, and naming
Nebula along with Meta Platforms, Google, and Microsoft as
defendants.
The dispute was later transferred to the U.S. District Court for
the District of Massachusetts in accordance with Nebula's Terms of
Use, which mandated that claims be brought in Massachusetts. The
complaint remains at the pleading stage. In addition to the motion
to change venue, Nebula filed a motion to dismiss.
While the allegations raise reputational and legal risks, no
judgment or settlement has been entered, and potential liability is
not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, management does
not consider this litigation to be material to the consolidated
financial statements as of the date of this Annual Report.
ProPhase Labs, Inc. is a diversified diagnostics, genomics and
consumer products company engaged in health care diagnostics,
genomics testing and the manufacture and marketing of
over-the-counter consumer health products. The company operates
through various subsidiaries, including ProPhase Diagnostics, to
provide laboratory-based services and related offerings.
RACK ROOM: Smith Seeks Rule 23 Class Certification
--------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as DEMETRIUS SMITH and MIA
WILLIAMS, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, v. RACK ROOM SHOES, INC., Case No. 3:24-cv-06709-RFL
(N.D. Cal.), the Plaintiffs, on Aug. 25, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., will
move for class certification pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Plaintiffs request that the Court certify the following
classes:
Nationwide Purchaser Class:
"All individuals who purchased products through Rack Room's
website from May 1, 2022, through Dec. 1, 2025."
Nationwide Meta Class:
"All individuals who purchased products through Rack Room's

used identifiers to attribute either ViewContent events from
product pages or AddtoCart events."
California Purchaser Class – CIPA section 631:
"All California residents who purchased products through Rack
Room’s website between May 1, 2022, and Dec. 1, 2025, using
shipping addresses exclusively within California."
California Meta Class – CIPA section 631:
"All California residents who purchased products through Rack
Room's website: between July 1, 2022, through Dec. 1, 2025,
using shipping addresses exclusively within California and who
Meta used identifiers to attribute either ViewContent events
from product pages or AddtoCart events."
California Purchaser Class – CIPA section 632:
"All California residents who purchased products through Rack
Room's website between July 1, 2022, through Dec. 1, 2025."
California Meta Class – CIPA section 632:
"All California residents who purchased products through Rack
Room's website between July 1, 2022, through Dec. 1, 2025,

from product pages or AddtoCart events."
The Defendant markets shoes for men, women, and kids.

REDDIT INC: Roseman Sues Over Removal of Directors Under DGCL
-------------------------------------------------------------
JACOB ROSEMAN, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. REDDIT, INC., Case No. 2026-0704 (Del. Ch., June 1,
2026) is a verified stockholder class action complaint against
Reddit under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Reddit,
Inc. purports to prohibit stockholders from removing a director(s)
designated by Advance Magazine Publishers, Inc. unless Advance
consents to removal.
Section 141(k), however, guarantees that the holders of a majority
of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors may
remove directors, with or without cause, subject to two discrete
exceptions that are not relevant here. There is no allowance for a
corporation to impose a veto power on top of this mandatory term,
through charter language or otherwise.
Recognizing that this facial statutory violation was readily
curable, Plaintiff, through his counsel, made a demand upon the
Company's board of directors to take steps to eliminate the
offensive provision via letter dated April 29, 2026.
On May 7, 2026, counsel for Plaintiff received an email from
"Reddit Legal Support (Reddit Legal) with the subject line "[Reddit
Support] Re: Your request sent to Reddit Support”" (the
"Rejection"). The rejection bears indicia of having been drafted
with generative artificial intelligence reaching an ultimate legal
conclusion that no sentient being could reasonably draw.
The complaint alleges that the Company has maintained a provision
in Article VI.C of the Charter that purports to make director
removal contingent upon the consent of Advance and therefore
violates Section 141(k). The Plaintiff is entitled to a declaration
that the foregoing provision is invalid and unenforceable under
Delaware law.
As a result of the Company's violation of Delaware law, Plaintiff
and the Class have been and will be injured.
The Plaintiff, a stockholder of the Company, brings this action as
a class action pursuant to Rule 23 of the Rules of the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware on behalf of all similarly
situated holders of shares of Reddit Class A common stock.
Reddit operates a website, reddit.com, on which users post to a
network of message boards.[BN]

REGAL CINEMAS: Garza Suit Seeks to Certify Class of Employees
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as PORFIRIO GARZA,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v.
REGAL CINEMAS, INC., a foreign profit corporation; and DOES 1-20,
as yet unknown Washington entities, Case No. 2:25-cv-01941-KKE
(W.D. Wash.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order
certifying a class defined as:
"All current and former employees of Regal who worked in
Washington and earned less than twice the applicable state
minimum hourly wage from Sept. 4, 2022, through the date
notice is provided to the class."
Certification is warranted because Garza and all class members
earned less than twice minimum wage and were subject to identical
outside employment restrictions and noncompetition covenants.
Accordingly, the Court should grant class certification, appoint
Garza as class representative, appoint his counsel as class
counsel, and order that notice be issued to the class pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure ("Rule") 23(c).
In October 2023, Regal hired Garza to work as a runner at its
Cinebarre theatre in Mountlake Terrace, Washington.
Regal operates one of the largest theatre circuits in the country,
consisting of 5,386 screens in 394 theatres.

RICOH USA: Mike The Printer Seeks to Strike Saad's Declaration
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MIKE THE PRINTER, INC., a
California corporation, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, v. RICOH USA, INC., a Delaware corporation,
Case No. 2:24-cv-08192-JFW-AYP (C.D. Cal.), the Plaintiff, on July
13, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., will move under Federal Rule of Evidence
702 and Daubert to strike the declaration of Ali Saad, Ph.D., in
support of the Defendant's response in opposition to the
Plaintiff's motion for class certification and motion to strike the
declaration of G. Michael Phillips, Ph.D.
Dr. Saad provides a variety of opinions irrelevant at the class
certification stage. He critiques Dr. Phillips' damages
calculations and extrapolation by focusing on the execution of Dr.
Phillips' methodology, not the reliability of the methodology
itself. Such a critique is inappropriate at the class certification
stage, the suit says.
To the extent the Court finds that customer choice may bear on a
customer's duty to mitigate, the Court should still exclude these
opinions as speculative and untethered to class members. Dr. Saad
provides no examples of class members who were aware of the breach
and elected not to terminate their contracts. These opinions should
therefore be excluded as irrelevant to Rule 23 considerations, the
suit adds.
The Plaintiff moved for class certification on Feb. 20, 2026,
attaching with its motion the Declaration of Dr. G. Michael
Phillips and Dr. Phillips' expert report.
Ricoh is an information management and digital services company.

RUGSUSA LLC: Hong Allowed to Amend Complaint
--------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ANNA HONG, v. RUGSUSA,
LLC, Case No. 4:24-cv-08799-AMO (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Araceli
Martinez-Olguin entered an order granting the Plaintiff's motion to
amend complaint.
Ms. Hong shall file the proposed amended complaint as a standalone
docket entry by noon on May 29, 2026. The Defendant shall file a
responsive pleading within 28 days from the date of Hong's amended
complaint filing. If the Defendant files an answer, discovery will
close July 31, 2026, and the Plaintiffs' deadline to file a motion
for class certification will be Sept. 4, 2026.
If RugsUSA files a Rule 12 motion, the parties shall meet and
confer and propose a remaining case schedule within seven days
after the order resolving RugsUSA's motion.
The Court orders that the written discovery propounded on Ms. Hong
by RugsUSA shall be deemed effectively propounded on the two
newly-named Plaintiffs as of today.

SAGE HOME: Denies Opportunity to Correct Application, Bradford Says
-------------------------------------------------------------------
RADLEY BRADFORD, individually, and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SAGE HOME LOANS CORPORATION,
Defendant, Case No. 4:26-cv-04201 (S.D. Tex., May 27, 2026) is a
class action seeking redress for violations of the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act ("ECOA").
The complaint relates that in May 2026, Plaintiff applied for a
home equity line of credit from Defendant. On May 10, 2026,
Plaintiff received an email from Defendant denying Plaintiff's
credit application. The email contained a letter that provided the
reasons for the credit denial ("adverse action letter") stating:
"Credit Application Incomplete". The adverse action letter failed
to identify the specific reasons for the denial, and failed to
specify why the application was incomplete.
The Defendant failed to provide Plaintiff with a reasonable period
of time for the applicant to provide the information; and failed to
inform the applicant that failure to provide the information
requested will result in no further consideration being given to
the application. Accordingly, Plaintiff was unable to address or
correct the alleged deficiencies that Defendant based its denial
on. The Plaintiff suffered damages as a result of Defendant's
violations of the ECOA, says the suit.
Plaintiff RADLEY BRADFORD is an African-American consumer and a
natural person, over 18-years-of-age, residing in Houston, Texas.
Defendant SAGE HOME LOANS CORPORATION is an online lender that
provides home loans to consumers across the United States.[BN]

SHEIN US: Jones Sues Over Fraudulent Pricing and Phantom Discounts
------------------------------------------------------------------
ASHLEY JONES, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. SHEIN US SERVICES, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
3:26-cv-05012 (N.D. Cal., May 27, 2026) is a class action against
the Defendant for its unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business
practice of advertising fictitious prices and corresponding phantom
discounts on its merchandise.
According to the complaint, Shein utilizes a false and misleading
reference price in the marketing and selling of Shein branded
and/or trademarked merchandise sold on its website. The Plaintiff
made numerous purchases on Defendant's website in reliance on the
"sale" and "reference" pricing Defendant advertised for the
merchandise she purchased, believing she was receiving a large
discount for her purchases based on those advertisements. If
Plaintiff had known the reference prices were fictitious and the
sale was illusory, she would not have made the purchases on
Defendant's website.
The Plaintiff brings this action individually and on behalf of
other similarly situated consumers who have purchased one or more
items on Shein's online store that were deceptively represented as
discounted from false former reference prices. Plaintiff seeks to
halt the dissemination of this false, misleading, and deceptive
pricing scheme, to correct the false and misleading perception
Shein has created in the minds of consumers, and obtain redress for
those who have purchased merchandise tainted by this deceptive
pricing scheme. Plaintiff also seeks to enjoin Shein from using
false and misleading misrepresentations regarding retail price
comparisons in its labeling and advertising permanently. Further,
Plaintiff seeks to obtain damages, restitution, and other
appropriate relief in the amount by which Shein was unjustly
enriched as a result of its sales of merchandise offered a false
discount. Plaintiff also seeks reasonable attorneys' fees pursuant
to California Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5, as this lawsuit
seeks the enforcement of an important right affecting the public
interest and satisfies the statutory requirements for an award of
attorneys' fees.
Plaintiff Ashley Jones is a California citizen residing in the
County of Los Angeles who made purchases on Defendant's website.
Defendant SHEIN US Services, LLC operates and maintains an online
store offering various lines of clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry,
accessories, and more.[BN]

SHUTTERSTOCK INC: Seeks to File Unredacted Versions of Opposition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Cynthia Herrick et al. v.

Defendant asks the Court to enter an order allowing it to file
unredacted versions of the Opposition to Plaintiff's motion for
class certification and unredacted versions of Exhibits 3-12, 16,

financial information that would undermine its ability to offer its
services and compete in the market.
With respect to the exhibits, Shutterstock seeks to seal personally
identifying information of third parties (including, inter alia,
email addresses, physical addresses and telephone numbers from
communications with putative class members).
Shutterstock is a media technology company that provides social

SYNERGY ONE: Loan Application Denial Violates ECOA, Bradford Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RADLEY BRADFORD, individually, and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. SYNERGY ONE LENDING, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 4:26-cv-04185 (S.D. Tex., May 27, 2026) is a
class action seeking redress for violations of the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act ("ECOA").
Defendant SYNERGY ONE LENDING, INC. is an online lender that
provides loans and credit to consumers across the United States.
The complaint relates that in April 2026, Plaintiff applied for a
Home Equity Line of Credit from Defendant. On April 14, 2026,
Plaintiff received an email from Defendant denying Plaintiff's
credit application. The email contained a letter that provided the
reasons for the credit denial ("adverse action letter") stating:
"Credit Application Incomplete" The adverse action letter failed to
identify the specific reasons for the denial, and failed to specify
why the application was incomplete. On April 28, 2026, Plaintiff
sent a letter to Defendant's address listed within the adverse
action letter, requesting that Defendant provide more details
regarding reason(s) for the credit denial. Plaintiff's letter was
returned due to non-delivery.
The Defendant failed to provide Plaintiff with specific information
as to why his application was incomplete and what would be needed
to complete the application; failed to provide Plaintiff with a
reasonable period of time for the applicant to provide the
information; and failed to inform the applicant that failure to
provide the information requested will result in no further
consideration being given to the application. Accordingly,
Plaintiff was unable to address or correct the alleged deficiencies
that Defendant based its denial on. The Plaintiff suffered damages
as a result of Defendant's violations of the ECOA, says the suit.
Plaintiff RADLEY BRADFORD is an African-American consumer and a
natural person, over 18-years-of-age, residing in Houston,
Texas.[BN]

VITAL HEALTHCARE: Underpays Healthcare Workers, McCaffery Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
TAIT MCCAFFERY, on behalf of himself and on behalf of others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. VITAL HEALTHCARE STAFFING INC., a
Nebraska corporation; DOES 1-10, inclusive, Defendants, Case No.
3:26-cv-05001 (N.D. Cal., May 27, 2026) is a class action against
the Defendant for its failure to properly pay Plaintiff and others
similarly situated all overtime wages, premium wages for meal
periods not provided or rest periods not authorized, paid time off,
sick pay, and any other wages based on the regular rate of pay.
The complaint relates that the Defendant recruits and hires
healthcare workers from across the country. The positions include,
but are not limited to, MRI and X-Ray Technologists, Registered
Nurses (RNs), Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), and Certified
Nursing Assistants (CNAs) ("Travelers"). When assigned to a
California facility, such as Natividad Medical Center, Travelers,
including Plaintiff, must sign a standard form contract that
provides them with compensation information and other terms of
employment. Plaintiff and other Travelers then temporarily relocate
to the assigned area. Defendants pay Travelers, including
Plaintiff, housing and meal per diems, in addition to hourly wages.
Defendants retain authority, according to the required form
contract, to reduce the per diems for any scheduled hours not
worked by Travelers. Defendants have a uniform policy not to
include amounts paid for housing and meals when determining an
employee's regular rate of pay.
The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff was underpaid in each pay
period of his assignment as a result of Defendants' uniform policy,
including his first pay period ending April 5, 2025. During each
workweek of his assignment, Defendants expected Plaintiff to use,
and Plaintiff did use, his personal cell phone for business related
purposes, including communicating with supervisors, managers, and
employees performing human resources functions for Defendants, and
for the California facility it assigned him to. Though Plaintiff
and Travelers use their personal cell phones, Defendants have no
policy to, and do not, reimburse employees for reasonable and
necessary business expenses incurred in direct consequence of the
discharge of their duties, including personal cell phone use, says
the suit.
The Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and the Class, seeks unpaid
wages, liquidated damages, equitable relief, prejudgment interest,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, and any other relief this
Court deems proper.
Plaintiff TAIT MCCAFFERY worked as an MRI Technologist for VHS at
Natividad Medical Center, in Salinas, California, from March 31,
2025 through August 15, 2025.
Defendant Vital Healthcare Staffing, Inc. is a healthcare staffing
company employing hourly health care workers for short-term travel
assignments throughout California.
Does 1 through 10, inclusive, are persons or entities whose true
names and identities are unknown to Plaintiff, and are sued by
fictitious names.[BN]

WORKDAY INC: Bid to Compel Production of Bias-Testing Data Tossed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as DEREK L. MOBLEY, et al.,
v. WORKDAY, INC., Case No. 3:23-cv-00770-RFL (N.D. Cal.), the Hon.
Judge Laurel Beeler entered an order denying the motion to compel
production of Workday's bias-testing data and its customers'
applicant data.
Attorney-client privilege applies to the bias-testing data because
Workday’s attorneys curated the underlying data and used the
results in providing legal advice. The plaintiffs have not shown
that Workday has control of its customers' data under Rule 34.
The court orders production of Workday's EEO-1 and OFCCP documents.
They are relevant to Workday's knowledge of potential demographic
disparities when utilizing the AI tools, and Workday has not shown
sufficient burden to warrant denying the discovery.
The court terminates the letter brief addressing deanonymizing
applicant data as moot because the plaintiffs admitted in similar
discovery requests to third parties that they do not need the data
deanonymized.
This order resolves ECF Nos. 310, 314, and 319.
The plaintiffs in this employment-discrimination case and putative
class action are suing Workday, Inc., for utilizing an AI screening
system that is more likely to deny applicants who are African
American, suffer from disabilities, or are over 40 years old.
Workday is an American on‑demand (cloud-based) financial
management, human capital management, and student information
system software vendor.
