5975 SUNSET LLC: Pardo Sues Over Discriminative Property
--------------------------------------------------------
Nigel Frank De La Torre Pardo, individually and on behalf of all
other similarly situated mobility-impaired individuals v. 5975
SUNSET LLC and SHAHS OF KABOB, LLC D/B/A SHAHS OF KABOB, Case No.
1:26-cv-24763-XXXX (S.D. Fla., July 13, 2026), is brought for
injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and costs
pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") as a result
of the Defendant's discrimination against the individual Plaintiff
by denying him access to, and full and equal enjoyment of, the
goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and/or
accommodations of the Commercial Property and business located
therein, as prohibited by the ADA.
Although over 33 years have passed since the effective date of
Title III of the ADA, Defendant has yet to make their facilities
accessible to individuals with disabilities. Congress provided
commercial businesses one and a half years to implement the Act.
The effective date was January 26, 1992. In spite of this abundant
lead-time and the extensive publicity the ADA has received since
1990, Defendant has continued to discriminate against people who is
disabled in ways that block them from access and use of Defendant's
property and the businesses therein.
The Plaintiff found the commercial property and restaurant business
located within the commercial property to be rife with ADA
violations. The Plaintiff encountered architectural barriers at the
commercial property and restaurant business located within the
commercial property and wishes to continue his patronage and use of
the premises. The Plaintiff has encountered architectural barriers
that are in violation of the ADA at the subject places of public
accommodation. The barriers to access at Defendants' commercial
property and restaurant business have each denied or diminished
Plaintiff's ability to visit these places of public accommodation
and have endangered his safety in violation of the ADA.
The Defendants have discriminated against the individual Plaintiff
by denying him access to, and full and equal enjoyment of, the
goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and/or
accommodations of the commercial property, as prohibited by the
ADA, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff uses a wheelchair to ambulate.
5975 SUNSET LLC owns and operates a commercial property which is
a place of public accommodation.[BN]

ABUILT CONSTRUCTION: Lopez Sues Over Unpaid Overtime Wages
----------------------------------------------------------
Horlen Lopez, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated v.
ABUILT CONSTRUCTION LLC and ALEX LUCERO, Case No. 1:26-cv-05905
(S.D.N.Y., July 13, 2026), is brought pursuant to the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA") the New York Labor Law ("NYLL"), that he and
others similarly situated are entitled to recover from Defendants:
unpaid wages, including overtime, due to time shaving; unpaid
overtime premiums, due to unlawful straight rate compensation;
unpaid call-in premiums; liquidated damages for late payments of
wages; liquidated damages; and attorneys' fees and costs.
Throughout his employment, Plaintiff was time shaved and not
compensated for all hours worked. Specifically, approximately twice
per week, Defendants required Plaintiff to stay at work 20 minutes
after the end of his scheduled shift to complete a task. However,
Defendants only ever compensated Plaintiff for his scheduled hours.
FLSA Collective Plaintiffs and Class Members were similarly
compensated only for their scheduled hours rather than their actual
amount of hours worked. The Defendants similarly compensated FLSA
Collective Plaintiffs and Class Members at straight hourly rates
and failed to pay them overtime premiums for all their hours worked
over 40 hours per workweek. The Defendants knowingly and willfully
operated their business with a policy of not compensating overtime
premiums to Plaintiff, FLSA Collective Plaintiffs, and Class
Members, in violation of the FLSA and the NYLL, says the
complaint.
The Plaintiff was hired by the Defendants as a laborer on
construction sites across New York City in February 2025.

ADAPTHEALTH CORP: Fails to Protect Personal Info, McCall Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
SHARI MCCALL, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. ADAPTHEALTH CORP., Defendant, Case No.
2:26-cv-04795 (E.D. Pa., July 10, 2026) is a class action arising
from the Defendant's failure to protect highly sensitive data.
According to the complaint, the Defendant stores a litany of highly
sensitive personal identifiable information and protected health
information. But Defendant lost control over that data when
cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently protected computer
systems in a data breach. It is unknown for precisely how long the
cybercriminals had access to Defendant's network before the breach
was discovered. In other words, Defendant had no effective means to
prevent, detect, stop, or mitigate breaches of its systems --
thereby allowing cybercriminals unrestricted access to stored PII.
The suit asserts that cybercriminals were able to breach
Defendant's systems because Defendant failed to adequately train
its employees on cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable
security safeguards or protocols to protect the Class' PII. In
short, the Defendant's failures placed the Class' PII in a
vulnerable position -- rendering them easy targets for
cybercriminals.

M.C., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. AMERICAN ADDICTION CENTERS, INC., Defendant, Case No.
2:26-cv-02089 (D. Nev., July 10, 2026) is a class action against
the Defendant for violations of the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act, common law
invasion of privacy, breach of confidence, breach of fiduciary

(iii) emotional distress and heightened concerns related to the

provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA").
Although Plaintiff and the Putative Collective Members have

all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek.
The effect of the Defendant's practices were (and are) that all
compensable time worked by Plaintiff and the Putative Collective
Members was not (and is not) counted and paid; thus, the Defendant
has failed to properly compensate Plaintiff and the Putative
Collective Members for all hours worked and has failed to properly
compensate them the proper amount of overtime under the FLSA.
The Defendant knowingly and deliberately failed to compensate
Plaintiff and the Putative Collective Members for all hours worked
and the proper amount of overtime on a routine and regular basis
during the relevant time period(s), says the complaint.

tips during their tenure of employment with Defendants. In addition

BETTERMENT LLC: Automatically Swept Uninvested Cash, Treadway Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHAEL TREADWAY, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. BETTERMENT LLC and BETTERMENT
SECURITIES LLC, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-05845 (S.D.N.Y., July
10, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for breach of
fiduciary duty, declaratory relief, and unjust enrichment.
The case arises from the Defendants' exploitative implementation of
Betterment's Transfer Sweep Program ("TSP"), resulting in the
breach of the Defendants' fiduciary duties owed to the Plaintiff
and similarly situated advisory clients. According to the
complaint, despite its role as an investment adviser and fiduciary,
Betterment automatically swept uninvested cash balances into
non-interest-bearing deposit accounts at participating banks
selected by the Defendants through the TSP. Because the TSP paid
zero interest, the Plaintiff and Class members lost significant
interest they would have otherwise earned had the Defendants swept
their cash into accounts or vehicles paying reasonable market
rates, suit says.

York.

behalf of the Plaintiff and all others similarly situated who
purchased a jet-powered pontoon boat Defendants sold to consumers
across the U.S. under the "Sea-Doo Switch" name that contains

contain a dangerous and unsafe design defect that allows water to
enter and accumulate in the vessel's hull, causing the boat to lose
stability, nose-dive, and capsize ("Capsizing Defect"). The same
defective, non-watertight hull design also permits water to intrude
into the Switch boats' hull and engine compartment during ordinary
use, causing engine damage, electronic fault codes, corrosion, loss
of propulsion, and near-sinking events ("Water-Intrusion Defect"),
says the suit.

CANDID MAVEN: Gamez Sues Over Unlawful Spam E-mails
---------------------------------------------------
JASMINE GAMEZ, on behalf of all similarly-situated individuals,
Plaintiff v. CANDID MAVEN INC., an Arizona corporation, d/b/a
RIGHTROUTENOW.COM, Defendant, Case No. 26STCV22113 (Cal. Super.,
Los Angeles Cty., July 10, 2026) is a class action against the
Defendant for alleged violations of the California Business and
Professions Code, California Trap and Trace Law, and for intrusion
upon seclusion.
According to the complaint, the Defendant and its affiliate
marketers bombard Californians with illegal spam disguised as
urgent and official communications from the federal government to
trick them into clicking on links that enable Defendant and its
marketing partners to track them across the Internet.
The suit asserts that the Defendant's misconduct is especially
reprehensible because it exploits consumers through a multi-step
scheme of deception. First, the unsolicited commercial e-mail
received by Plaintiff falsely purports to originate from the
"Department of Veterans Affairs" and falsely states that Plaintiff
has been "audited." Second, the embedded link in the e-mail
transports recipients to a website that mimics an official
government resource for veterans, which advises visitors that they
are entitled to unique, time sensitive benefit if they click on a
link that takes them to Defendant's website. Third, once a user is
on Defendant's website, the Defendant secretly invites third
parties into each visitor's browsing session by installing tracking
pixels that allow those third parties to receive the visitor's
communications and online activity without the visitor's knowledge
or consent.
The Plaintiff is the owner of the California e-mail address
castrillojasmine@yahoo.com Earlier this year, the Plaintiff
received an e-mail at that address that appeared to be from the
Department of Veterans Affairs.

CENTRIC BRANDS: Dalton Seeks Equal Website Access for the Blind
---------------------------------------------------------------
Julie Dalton, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. Centric Brands Holding LLC d/b/a Dockers,
Defendant, Case No. 0:26-cv-03254-NEB-DJF (D. Minn., July 10, 2026)
arises because Defendant's website www.us.dockers.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 and its
implementing regulations.
As a consequence of her experience visiting Defendant's website,
including in the past year, and from an investigation performed on
her behalf, the Plaintiff found Defendant's website has a number of
digital barriers that deny screen-reader users like her full and
equal access to important Website content -- content Defendant
makes available to its sighted website users.
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 suit.
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. In addition to her
claim under the ADA, the Plaintiff also asserts a companion cause
of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.

HOLDINGS LTD., Defendants, Case No. 4:26-cv-07447 (N.D. Cal., July

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants are
engaged in a global conspiracy to enter into agreements involving
"Standard Dry Shipping Containers" to restrict supplies, fix
prices, allocate market shares, stifle competition, and thereby
charge purchasers supra-competitive prices.
As early as November 14, 2019, the Defendants, by and through their
senior officers, entered into secretive arrangements to drastically
limit the supply of new Standard Dry Shipping Containers to the
global market with the explicit goal of artificially raising prices
on Standard Dry Shipping Containers in order to increase shipping
costs for American businesses that relied on importing goods from
overseas, says the suit.

Case No. 2:26-at-01167 (E.D. Cal., July 11, 2026) is a class action
against the Defendants for violation of the California Trap and

media/advertising companies on the website to secretly collect data
about website visitors, their devices, locations and activity to

track their internet browsing on an ongoing basis. As a result of
the Defendants' unlawful practice, the Plaintiff and Class members
suffered injuries including invasion of their legally protected

CROWN CORK: Faces Ortiz Suit Over Unfair Tobacco Surcharges
-----------------------------------------------------------
CHARITY A. ORTIZ, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CROWN CORK AND SEAL COMPANY, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-04827 (E.D. Pa., July 10, 2026)
challenges Defendant's unlawful practice of charging a tobacco
surcharge under the CC&S Group Health Plan in a manner that
violates the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and
the implementing regulations.
Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation.
Crown, through its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, is a
global packaging company that supplies rigid packaging products,
including beverage cans, food cans, aerosol cans, closures,
promotional packaging, and related packaging products and services
to customers throughout the United States. The Plaintiff is a
former employee of Crown who paid a tobacco surcharge to maintain
health insurance coverage under the Plan.
According to the complaint, the Defendant imposes a discriminatory
$100 monthly tobacco surcharge while failing to make available a
compliant reasonable alternative standard, failing to notify
participants of the "full reward" or any avenue to obtain it, and
failing to provide the required physician-accommodation statement
-- violating federal regulations and depriving employees of
benefits to which they are entitled under ERISA. This surcharge
imposed an additional financial burden on Plaintiff, and continues
to impose such a burden on those similarly situated, alleges the
suit.
Crown bears the burden of proving that its tobacco surcharge is
lawful by showing that its wellness program fully complies with
every requirement under ERISA. Charging participants a tobacco
surcharge while not informing them of a reasonable alternative
standard that makes available the "full reward," and failing to
provide proper notice, makes the surcharge facially noncompliant,
adds the complaint.[BN]

CUROLOGY INC: Powell Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
---------------------------------------------------------
Maria Powell, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated v. CUROLOGY, INC., Case No. 1:26-cv-05887 (S.D.N.Y., July
13, 2026), is brought arising from Defendant's failure to design,
maintain, and operate its website, www.curology.com (the
"Website"), in a manner accessible to blind and visually impaired
individuals in violations of Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"), the New York State Human Rights Law
("NYSHRL"), the New York Civil Rights Law ("NYCRL"), and the New
York City Human Rights Law ("NYCHRL").
The Plaintiff specifically sought out Defendant's Website because
Defendant promotes branded skincare products, routines, and
direct-to consumer purchasing features that she wished to access
independently. As a blind consumer, she depends on accessible
digital interfaces to make informed purchasing decisions, review
product details, compare skincare offerings, and complete
transactions privately and independently. Defendant's failure to
provide a WCAG-compliant Website denied her equal access to the
same services offered to sighted users. the Plaintiff remains
highly motivated to return to www.curology.com and complete her
intended purchases once the Website is made accessible. Her intent
to return is concrete, particularized, and ongoing: she still
intends to purchase Gentle Cleanser and Gel Moisturizer through
Defendant's Website. The Defendant's ongoing failure to provide
accessible digital services constitutes a denial of full and equal
access under Title III of the ADA and under New York State and City
law, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is a legally blind consumer residing in Bronx County,
New York.
CUROLOGY, INC., upon information and belief, owns and operates
www.curology.com, a nationwide e-commerce platform offering
skincare products and related services to consumers across the
United States, including New York.[BN]

CYMBIOTIKA LLC: Powell Balks at Blind-Inaccessible Website
----------------------------------------------------------
MARIA POWELL, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. CYMBIOTIKA, LLC, Defendant, Case No.
1:26-cv-05850 (S.D.N.Y., July 10, 2026) arises from the Defendant's
failure to design, maintain, and operate its website,
www.cymbiotika.com in a manner accessible to Plaintiff and other
blind and visually impaired individuals in violation of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights
Law, the New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York State
Civil Rights Law.
On March 12, 2026, Plaintiff Powell visited Defendant's website
using screen-reading software with the intent to purchase
Defendant's Liquid Colostrum product for her own use. While
navigating the website, Ms. Powell attempted to access the product
page, review the product descriptions and benefits, identify the
listed pricing, understand the visual comparison between
Defendant's product and so-called "typical colostrum products," and
activate the controls needed to add the item to her cart. At each
step, she encountered disabling access barriers that prevented her
from completing these tasks independently.
Specifically, when Ms. Powell's screen-reading software attempted
to read the Liquid Colostrum page, it encountered images and
graphical content lacking meaningful alternative text. As a result,
Ms. Powell could not understand the visual product depictions,
packaging, comparison graphics, or other visually presented
information describing the nature, appearance, and promoted
features of Liquid Colostrum, says the suit.

------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned as Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and

23-cv-05095-JGK (S.D.N.Y.), Judge John G. Koeltl of the United

Stanley entities, alleging a conspiracy to fix and manipulate
prices of United Kingdom government bonds, known as Gilts, in
violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The Plaintiffs allege
the Defendants used private online chatrooms between 2009 and 2013
to coordinate Gilt allocations in the primary market, prices in the
secondary market, and prices of related futures and options.
The Court dismissed the original complaint in September 2024,
finding that Oklahoma Firefighters, then the sole plaintiff, had
failed to plead direct evidence of a conspiracy or sufficient
circumstantial allegations connecting specific defendants to
coordinated pricing. Oklahoma Firefighters, joined by Ohio
Carpenters and Hehmeyer, filed an Amended Complaint in September
2025. Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft and Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc then moved to dismiss under Rules 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Court found the Amended Complaint remedied the deficiencies
identified earlier. The Plaintiffs cited more than eighty pages of
chatroom transcripts in which traders allegedly agreed to inflate
or suppress Gilt prices, coordinate trading strategy, and allocate
positions in primary market auctions. According to the Court,
exchanges in which traders discussed plans to build the brick wall
around a specific price point, together with references to pumping
up prices and slamming the market, plausibly reflected coordinated
efforts rather than ordinary trading jargon when read in context.
The Amended Complaint also relied on findings from a United Kingdom
Competition and Markets Authority investigation that concluded with
infringement decisions and fines against the Defendants,
statistical analyses showing wider bid-ask spreads during the class
period, and allegations concerning the structure of the Gilt
market.
The Court rejected the argument that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc
could not be held liable absent allegations that its own traders
joined the chats, finding it plausible that the entity served as
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft's United States distributor and
transmitted the allegedly manipulated prices to American customers.
The Court also rejected arguments that the alleged conspiracy was
economically implausible, that the cited chats were too limited in
scope or failed to reference United States counterparties, and that
the Amended Complaint lacked adequate circumstantial evidence,
holding that a plausible allegation of direct evidence made the
latter showing unnecessary.
On statute of limitations, the Court held the Plaintiffs adequately
pleaded fraudulent concealment tolling. It found price-fixing
conspiracies are inherently self-concealing and that the Amended
Complaint cited chats in which traders instructed each other not to
disclose their communications. The Court also held that the
Competition and Markets Authority's 2018 investigation announcement
did not place the Plaintiffs on inquiry notice, since it addressed
conduct in the United Kingdom market rather than the domestic
injury alleged here.
On antitrust standing, the Court found the Plaintiffs plausibly
alleged antitrust injury by identifying specific transactions in
which they paid inflated prices or received suppressed prices. It
rejected the argument that Hehmeyer, which traded Gilt futures
rather than the underlying bonds, was not an efficient enforcer,
citing Second Circuit precedent recognizing that futures traders
may suffer sufficiently direct injuries.
Finally, the Court held it had specific personal jurisdiction over
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, both because the Amended
Complaint alleged direct transactions with United States accounts
and because Deutsche Bank Securities Inc allegedly acted as its
United States sales channel, receiving prices from Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft and relaying them to domestic customers.

EMERALD SOCAL: Does Not Properly Pay Workers, Kizhakadathu Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
JOEL KIZHAKADATHU, an individual and on behalf of all others
similarly situated; Plaintiff v. EMERALD SOCAL, LLC, a Delaware
corporation; and DOES 1 through 50, Defendants, Case No.
26STCV21750 (Super. Ct., Los Angeles Cty., Cal., July 10, 2026) is
a class action against the Defendants for recovery of unpaid wages
and penalties under California Business and Professions Code, Labor
Code, and Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders.
The complaint relates that throughout Plaintiff's employment with
Defendants, Defendants' timekeeping and/or payroll policies and
practices resulted in Plaintiff and other non-exempt employees not
being compensated for all hours actually worked. Plaintiff and
other non-exempt employees regularly worked more than eight hours
in a workday or 40 hours in a workweek. At times, Defendants
required Plaintiff and other non-exempt employees to perform work
before their scheduled shifts, after their scheduled shifts, and/or
during off-the-clock meal breaks, and failed to compensate
employees for this time. Defendants also failed to incorporate
multiple rates of pay and/or all non-discretionary remuneration
into the regular rate of pay.
As a result, Plaintiff and other non-exempt employees were not
compensated for all earned minimum and overtime wages. The
Defendants failed to compensate them with the required rest period
premium(s) for each workday there was a rest period violation as
mandated by Labor Code. Additionally, Defendants violated Labor
Code by failing to incorporate multiple rates of pay and/or all
non-discretionary remuneration into the paid sick leave pay rate.
Moreover, as a result of Defendants' failure to pay all minimum,
overtime, sick leave wages, failure to pay all meal and rest period
premium wages, and unlawful timekeeping and payroll practices as
alleged above, Defendants maintained inaccurate payroll records and
issued inaccurate wage statements to Plaintiff and other non-exempt
employees. Defendants also failed to timely pay all final wages to
former non-exempt employees upon their separation of employment
from Defendants, says the suit.
The Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, declaratory relief, and
restitution.
Plaintiff JOEL KIZHAKADATHU was employed by Defendants as a
non-exempt employee.
Defendants own and operate hospital linen cleaning and laundry
facilities in California, including in Los Angeles County.[BN]

FIRST NATIONAL: Fails to Pay Proper Wages, Baca Suit Alleges
------------------------------------------------------------
KEVIN BACA, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. FIRST NATIONAL HOLDINGS, LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 1:26-cv-08501 (N.D. Ill., July 17, 2026) is an action
arising from the Defendant's failure to properly secure and
safeguard the private information that was entrusted to it, and its
accompanying responsibility to store and transfer that
information.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, the Defendant owed
Plaintiff and Class Members a duty to take all reasonable and
necessary measures to keep the Private Information collected safe
and secure from unauthorized access. The Defendant solicited,
collected, used, and derived a benefit from the Private
Information, yet breached its duty by failing to implement or
maintain adequate security practices.
The Defendant failed to use reasonable security procedures and
practice appropriate to the nature of the sensitive, unencrypted
information they maintained for Plaintiff and Class Members,
causing the exposure of Plaintiff and Class Members' private
information. As a result of the Defendant's inadequate digital
security and notice process, the Plaintiff and Class Members'
private information was exposed to criminals, says the suit.
First National Holdings, LLC is a specialty finance company that
purchases, services, and finances delinquent property tax liens.

FREIGHT BREAKERS: Johnson Files Suit Over Unpaid Wages
------------------------------------------------------
JAREL JOHNSON AND JARVIS WASHINGTON, individually and on behalf of
all other similarly situated persons, Plaintiffs v. FREIGHT
BREAKERS, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 5:26-cv-00149 (W.D.N.C., July
10, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its failure
to pay overtime wages, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
Defendant Freight Breakers, LLC provides managed end-to-end
production-based services in distribution centers and warehouses;
provides its customers with Lumpers to unload and load freight in
its customers' warehouses and distribution centers. It operates and
provides Lumpers to customers in many states across the United
States, including in Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, and
Maryland.
Plaintiffs Jarel Johnson and Jarvis Washington worked for Freight
Breakers as Lumpers from approximately January 2026 through March
2026.
The complaint relates that Freight Breakers employed Lumpers in
Ocala, Florida to load and unload boxes from its customers'
trailers. Freight Breakers paid Lumpers a combination of a piece
rate for each box they loaded and unloaded and an hourly rate for
certain periods of downtime. In some weeks, Lumpers worked in
excess of 40 hours. Despite the long hours, Freight Breakers did
not pay Lumpers overtime wages for all hours worked over 40 in a
week. Freight Breakers also failed to pay Lumpers the Florida State
minimum wage for each hour worked in some weeks, the complaint
asserts.
The Plaintiffs seek unpaid overtime wages, liquidated and statutory
damages, costs and attorneys' fees, service awards, as well as
declaratory relief under the FLSA. They also seek unpaid minimum
wages, liquidated damages, prejudgment interest, costs and
attorneys' fees, service awards, and declaratory relief pursuant to
the Fla. Const. and the Florida Minimum Wage Act.[BN]

GOOGLE LLC: Hachette Balks at Reproduction of Copyrighted Works
---------------------------------------------------------------
HACHETTE BOOK GROUP, INC., CENGAGE LEARNING, INC., ELSEVIER INC.,
SCOTT TUROW, AND S.C.R.I.B.E., INC., individually and on behalf of
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. GOOGLE LLC, Defendant,
Case No. 1:26-cv-05870 (S.D.N.Y., July 10, 2026) alleges copyright
infringement based on Google's unauthorized reproduction of
Plaintiffs' and the Class' works.
According to the complaint, Google first illegally copied millions
of books and journal articles to assemble a vast trove of
copyrighted materials for its own commercial use. It did this by
copying works obtained for strictly limited use in Google Books and
other Google services, and downloading unauthorized web scrapes of
virtually the entire Internet. Google then copied those stolen
works many times over to train its multi-billion-dollar generative
AI system called Gemini. Compounding the assault, Google then
deployed a purpose-built service designed to generate content that
directly substitutes for Plaintiffs' and the Class' original
works.
The Plaintiffs and the Class are authors and publishers that own or
control exclusive rights under copyright to millions of the world's
best-known and bestselling written works. Authorized copies of
Plaintiffs' and the Class' books are widely available for purchase
or license. Yet Google chose unauthorized sources. That is
particularly egregious given that Google is well-aware of the
licensing market for AI training materials and already licenses
content for training, asserts the suit.
Accordingly, the Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of
themselves and a proposed Class, pursuant to the Copyright Act and
the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, to stop Google's infringement
and preserve the important work of authors, publishers, and the
literary ecosystem more broadly.
Google LLC is an American multinational technology corporation
focused on information technology, online advertising, search

Science, LLC, et al., Defendants, Case No. 5:25-cv-02850-PCP, in
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
The Plaintiffs allege that Honey failed to apply the best available
coupon to their purchases, and that Honey received a commission for
every purchase made after a user searched for a coupon code through
the browser extension, whether or not a code was applied.
On Jan. 26, 2026, the Plaintiffs filed third amended complaint,
which the Defendants moved to dismiss on Mar. 12, 2026.
On June 15, 2026, Judge P. Casey Pitts entered an Order granting
the Defendants' motion to dismiss. Because the Plaintiffs have been
provided with several opportunities to state a valid claim but have
continually failed to do so, dismissal is with prejudice and
without further leave to amend.

The complaint alleges that Defendants raised retail prices to
offset IEEPA tariff costs, passing those costs onto consumers
through inflated prices during the class period from February 4,
2025 through February 24, 2026.

INSTRUCTURE INC: Vallera Sues Over Lost Access to Canvas FFT Course

FARAH L. VALLERA, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. INSTRUCTURE, INC., Defendant, Case
No. 2:26-cv-00652-RJS (D. Utah, July 12, 2026) is a class action
against the Defendant for negligence, breach of implied contract,
and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
The case arises from the Defendant's action of disabling Canvas

and user's access to all stored information following a data breach
in May 2026. According to the complaint, the Defendant failed to
properly and timely notify the Plaintiff and Class members that it
was disabling Canvas FFT and failed to properly and timely notify
them of their ability to download their property from the Canvas

INTUIT INC: Baldwin Seeks Damages Over Share Price Drop
-------------------------------------------------------
SANJIV BALDWIN, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. INTUIT INC., SASAN K. GOODARZI, and SANDEEP
S. AUJLA, Defendants, Case No. 3:26-cv-07086 (N.D. Cal., July 10,
2026) is a federal securities class action on behalf of the
Plaintiff and a class consisting of all persons and entities other
than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Intuit
securities between August 22, 2025 and May 20, 2026, both dates
inclusive, seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants'
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top
officials.
Throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false
and misleading statements regarding the Company's business,
operations, and prospects, asserts the complaint. Specifically, the
Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to
disclose that: (i) they had overstated Intuit's competitive
advantages and growth, as well as the overall strength and
sustainability of its business model and operations; (ii) in
reality, Intuit was losing significant business in its tax-related
business, particularly in its Turbo Tax brand name business, as a
result of, inter alia, increasing competitive and pricing
pressures; (iii) accordingly, Intuit's previously issued fiscal
full year 2026 TurboTax revenue growth guidance was unreliable
and/or unrealistic; and (iv) as a result, Defendants' public
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.
The truth began to emerge on May 20, 2026, when, during pre-market
hours, Reuters published an article entitled "Intuit to cut 17% of
global jobs to streamline operations, memo shows." Citing an
internal Company memorandum and email from Defendant Sasan K.
Goodarzi, Intuit's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to staff
earlier in the day, the article reported that "Intuit is laying off
about 17% of its workforce, or about 3,000 employees worldwide, to
streamline operations and sharpen focus on its key bets including
its AI efforts." The article further revealed that Intuit "is also
winding down its Reno and Woodland Hills offices as part of a
strategic restructuring to consolidate teams in key hubs, according
to the memo."
On this news, Intuit's stock price fell $15.78 per share, or 3.95%,
to close at $383.93 per share on May 20, 2026.
The same day, Intuit announced its fiscal third quarter 2026
results, disclosing among other things, weak Q3 2026 tax season
revenue, including TurboTax revenue that grew by only 7%
year-over-year, versus consensus estimates of at least 8% revenue
growth.
Following these disclosures, Intuit's stock price fell $76.86 per
share, or 20.02%, to close at $307.07 per share on May 21, 2026.
As a result of the Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the
precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's
securities, the Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered
significant losses and damages, says the complaint.
Intuit Inc. provides financial management, payments and capital,
compliance, and marketing products and services in the U.S. The
Company has four reportable business segments: (i) Global Business
Solutions; (ii) Consumer; (iii) Credit Karma; and (iv) ProTax.[BN]

KAYNE ANDERSON: Diapera Files Suit Over Unpaid Overtime Wages
-------------------------------------------------------------
MAE JEAN DIAPERA, on behalf of herself and others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. KAYNE ANDERSON RUDNICK INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT, LLC, a California limited liability company; VIRTUS
INVESTMENT PARTNERS, an entity of unknown form; and DOES 1 through
50, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 26STCV21850 (Super. Ct., Los
Angeles Cty., Cal., July 10, 2026) is a class action seeking to
recover penalties pursuant to the California Labor Code.
The complaint alleges that the Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff
and the Class members for all hours worked and provided them with
inaccurate wage statements that prevented Plaintiff and the Class
from earning of these unlawful pay practices. Defendants also
failed to provide Plaintiff and the Class with lawful meal and rest
periods, as employees were not provided with the opportunity to
take timely, uninterrupted, and duty-free meal and rest periods as
required by the Labor Code. As a result, Plaintiff and the Class
members worked substantial overtime hours during their employment
with Defendants for which they were not compensated, in violation
of the California Labor Code, and the applicable Industrial Welfare
Commission Wage Order, says the suit.
Plaintiff MAE JEAN DIAPERA was employed by Defendants as a
non-exempt employee within the State of California.
Defendant KAYNE ANDERSON RUDNICK INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC is a
California limited liability company with its principle executive
offices in Los Angeles, California.
Defendant VIRTUS INVESTMENT PARTNERS is an entity of unknown form

KIRIN TRANSPORTATION: Appeals Tossed New Trial Bid to 2nd Circuit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
KIRIN TRANSPORTATION, INC., et al. are taking an appeal from a
court order denying their motion for a new trial and to alter or
amend the judgment in the lawsuit entitled Qian Wang, et al.,
individually and on behalf of all similarly situated, Plaintiffs,
v. Kirin Transportation, Inc., et al., Defendants, Case No.
1:20-cv-5410, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of New York.
The suit is brought against the Defendants for failure to pay
minimum wages and failure to pay overtime wages in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law.
On Mar. 17, 2026, Judge Orelia E. Merchant entered an Order
granting in part and denying in part the Plaintiffs' motion for
attorney fees. The Plaintiffs are awarded $77,317.25 in attorney's
fees and $5,259.45 in costs due jointly and severally from all
Defendants.
On Mar. 18, 2026, judgment is entered against the Defendants.
On Apr. 16, 2026, the Defendants filed a motion for new trial
alternatively, motion for judgement as a matter of law or motion to
alter or amend the judgment, which Judge Merchant denied on June
16, 2026.
Given the fact intensive nature of the inquiry and the evidentiary
support for their finding, the jury's finding that
The Plaintiffs were employees rather than independent contractors
is not seriously erroneous or a miscarriage of justice.
Accordingly, the Defendants' motion is denied on the merits to the
extent it seeks an order granting a new trial. The Court finds that
the portion of the Defendants' motion seeking to alter or amend the
judgment likewise fails.
The appellate case is styled as In Re: Wang Litigation, Case No.
26-1943, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit, filed on July 17, 2026. [BN]

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

situated, Plaintiff v. LAST BRAND, INC., Defendant, Case No.
3:26-cv-04009-AGS-VET (S.D. Cal., July 12, 2026) is a class action
against the Defendant for violations of the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy
Act, common law invasion of privacy, and intrusion upon seclusion.
The case arises from the Defendant's practice of intercepting,
recording, decoding, capturing, disclosing, and using the contents
of the Plaintiff's and Class members' electronic communications
from its website to Meta Platforms, Inc. According to the
complaint, the Defendant installed tracking technologies on its
website which allows Meta to access users' electronic

conduct, the Plaintiff and Class members have suffered injury,
including the violation of their statutorily protected privacy
interests, the loss of the right to control the dissemination and
use of the contents of their communications, and the loss of the
value of their private information.

LOVESHACKFANCY LLC: Court Narrows Claims in "Harris"
----------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned as Chanel Harris, on behalf of herself and
all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. LoveShackFancy, LLC,
Defendant, Civil Action No. 25 Civ. 5828 (KPF) (S.D.N.Y.), Judge
Katherine Polk Failla of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York granted in part and denied in part
the Defendant's motion to dismiss the Plaintiff's First Amended
Complaint, in an Opinion and Order dated July 20, 2026.
This is a putative class action. No class had been certified at the
time of this ruling. The First Amended Complaint defined a proposed
nationwide class of all persons charged a Shipping Protection Fee
by the Defendant, along with a California subclass, and asserted
claims on behalf of the Plaintiff individually and the proposed
classes.
The Plaintiff alleged that the Defendant, an e-commerce retailer of
women's clothing, added a Shipping Protection Fee to customers'
online shopping carts through a pre-checked box, without
affirmative consent, provided by third-party insurer Route. The
First Amended Complaint asserted five causes of action: (i)
violation of California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL); (ii)
violation of California's False Advertising Law (FAL); (iii)
violation of California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA); (iv)
breach of contract; and (v) unjust enrichment.
The court first addressed the Defendant's request for judicial
notice, granting it as to a Senate Committee Report on the
legislation that became the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act
(ROSCA), but denying it as to two Route webpages because the
Plaintiff disputed their authenticity and whether they were active
at the time of her purchase.
Turning to the UCL, FAL, and CLRA claims, the court found the
Plaintiff plausibly alleged that a reasonable consumer could be
deceived by the Defendant's practices on three grounds. First, the
automatic addition of the fee at checkout, through a small
pre-checked box appearing after the customer had finished shopping,
could mislead a reasonable consumer into believing the charge was
mandatory. The court noted the fee's placement during the
shipping-information stage compounded this risk, and that the
accompanying disclosure symbol was too small to meaningfully inform
consumers.
Second, the court found the Defendant's advertised free or
flat-rate shipping representations could plausibly mislead
consumers into believing shipping protection was already included.
Third, the court held the fee's name and description were plausibly
deceptive because it duplicated protections many consumers already
had through carriers or credit card issuers, while the Defendant
retained roughly half of each fee as profit.
The court also held the Plaintiff adequately alleged that the fee's
automatic addition constituted a negative option feature under
ROSCA, serving as a predicate for UCL liability, rejecting the
Defendant's argument that ROSCA applies only to recurring
subscription charges. The court reasoned that the statutory text is
not limited to recurring charges and that the Defendant failed to
satisfy ROSCA's disclosure and consent requirements.
However, the court dismissed the Plaintiff's theory under the
CLRA's Honest Pricing Law, Section 1770(a)(29), finding that the
fee was optional rather than mandatory on the face of the pleading,
and that the provision reaches only mandatory charges.
The court further held the Plaintiff adequately pleaded reliance on
the Defendant's shipping representations, rejecting the Defendant's
argument that the checkbox's presence defeated reliance as a matter
of law.
On the common law claims, the court dismissed the breach of
contract claim under both California and New York law, finding no
contract existed until the Plaintiff completed checkout with the
fee disclosed in her cart, meaning the fee could not have breached
a contract formed simultaneously with her assent. The court also
dismissed the unjust enrichment claim because an undisputed express
contract governed the transaction under both states' laws,
precluding a quasi-contract theory even pled in the alternative.
The court rejected the Defendant's argument that the voluntary
payment doctrine barred all claims, finding the doctrine an
affirmative defense inapplicable at the pleading stage where the
Plaintiff alleged she lacked full knowledge that the fee existed or
was optional.
Finally, the court denied leave to amend the dismissed claims,
concluding that amendment would be futile given the substantive
nature of the pleading defects. The parties were directed to submit
a joint case management plan by August 3, 2026.

MEDLINE INDUSTRIES: Mismanages Retirement Plan, Fredbeck Alleges
----------------------------------------------------------------
JON C. FREDBECK; and COLT R. NELMS, individually, and as
Representatives of a Class of Participants and Beneficiaries of the
Medline Industries, LP Retirement Plan, Plaintiffs v. MEDLINE
INDUSTRIES, LP; BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP;
MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP QUALIFIED PLANS COMMITTEE; AND MEDLINE
INDUSTRIES, LP QUALIFIED PLANS COMMITTEE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR,
Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-08375 (N.D., IL., July 15, 2026)
Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, as of December 31,
2024, Plan participants had invested over $1.6 billion in the
401(k) Plan. Approximately $97 million in the 401(k) Plan—or
about 6%—was invested in the TRP Growth Stock strategy. As
described in Section VIII, by failing to remove the TRP Growth
Stock investment option, Defendants caused participants to lose
tens of millions of dollars in retirement savings since the start
of the Class Period.
As fiduciaries of the Plan, the Defendants are duty-bound to
monitor the Plan's investments and protect participants from
imprudent investment options by removing them from the Plan's
lineup within a reasonable time. Yet Defendants repeatedly refused
to remove the TRP Growth Stock investment option despite many years
of poor performance. A prudent fiduciary would have removed the
Strategy well before, but not later than the start of the Class
Period, and certainly during the ensuing years of poor performance
throughout the Class Period. Defendants' conduct has been
imprudent, alleges the suit.
Medline Industries LP of the United States manufactures and
distributes health care products. The Company supplies wound and

FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, Defendants, Case No. 3:26-cv-08502 (D.N.J.,
July 10, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for
negligence, negligence per se, unjust enrichment, breach of
third-party beneficiary contract, breach of implied contract, and
violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer
Protection Law.
The case arises from the Defendants' failure to properly secure and
safeguard the personally identifiable information of the Plaintiff
and similarly situated individuals stored within Mercadien's
network systems following a data breach detected on or around
November 7, 2025. The Defendants also failed to timely notify the
Plaintiff and similarly situated individuals about the data breach.
As a result, the private information of the Plaintiff and Class
members was compromised and damaged through access by and
disclosure to unknown and unauthorized third parties.

MERIDIAN CARE INC: Chilaka Sues Over to Recover Unpaid Wages
------------------------------------------------------------
Iheanyichukwu Chilaka, Individually and for Others Similarly
Situated v. MERIDIAN CARE, INC., Case No. 4:26-cv-05521 (S.D. Tex.,
July 13, 2026), is brought against the Defendant to recover unpaid
overtime wages and other damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act
("FLSA").
The Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Workers regularly worked
more than 40 hours a week. But the Defendant did not pay the
Plaintiff and its other Straight Time Workers premium overtime
wages. Instead the Defendant misclassified the Plaintiff and its
other Straight Time Workers as independent contractors and paid
them the same hourly rate for all hours worked, including those
worked over 40 in a workweek (a practice known as "straight time
for overtime").
The Defendant applied its illegal straight time for overtime pay
scheme to the Plaintiff and its other Straight Time Workers
regardless of any individualized factors. The Defendant's uniform
straight time for overtime pay scheme violates the FLSA by
depriving the Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Workers of the
"time and a half" overtime premium they are owed for hours worked
after 40 in a workweek. In addition to failing to pay the Plaintiff
premium overtime wages, the Defendant also terminated his
employment for engaging in protected activity under the FLSA.
Specifically, the Defendant fired the Plaintiff in retaliation for
complaining about not receiving premium overtime wages in willful
violation of the FLSA, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff worked for Meridian Care as a Direct Care Provider
from November 2025 through April 2026.

MOTT'S LLP: Extension of Class Certification Deadlines Sought
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as MEL RICH and JESSE LOPEZ,
on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, v. MOTT'S
LLP, a Delaware Limited Liability Partnership, Case No.
1:25-cv-00243-GBW (D. Del.), the Parties ask the Court to enter an
order granting their stipulation to extend class certification and
fact discovery deadlines.
Given the Court's ruling, the parties require time to discuss the
implications of the order on discovery, expert reports, and other
pretrial scheduling, and would like to modify the schedule to
ensure adequate time to complete discovery, prepare expert reports,
and brief class certification.
Modifying the deadlines to substantially complete document
production, extend fact discovery, and move for class certification
will not alter any other dates currently set, as all other dates
are keyed off a ruling on class certification.
Therefore, subject to the approval of the Court, the Parties
stipulate that the deadline to substantially complete document
production be set for Nov. 16, 2026.
The Plaintiffs' deadline to file for class certification shall be
moved to Jan. 8, 2027, the Defendant's opposition to the
Plaintiffs' motion for class certification shall be filed on March
8, 2027, and the Plaintiffs' reply in support of the motion for
class certification shall be filed on May 9, 2027.

MYCAJITA CORP: Espinal Sues Over Blind's Equal Access to Website
----------------------------------------------------------------

situated, Plaintiff v. MYCAJITA CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No.
1:26-cv-05935 (S.D.N.Y., July 14, 2026) is a class action against
the Defendant for violations of Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York
City Human Rights Law, and the New York General Business Law.
According to the complaint, the Defendant has failed to design,
construct, maintain, and operate its websites to be fully
accessible to and independently usable by the Plaintiff and other
blind or visually impaired persons. The Defendant's website,
https://www.mycajita.com/ contains access barriers which hinder the
Plaintiff and Class members to enjoy the benefits of their online
goods, content, and services offered to the public through the

limited to: lack of alternative text (alt-text), empty links that
contain no text, redundant links, and linked images missing
alt-text.
The Plaintiff and Class members seek permanent injunction to cause
a change in the Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and

NASSAU COUNTY, NY: Myers's Bid for Class Certification Tossed
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JHISAIAH MYERS, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, v. COUNTY OF NASSAU,
Case No. 2:22-cv-07023-SJB-LGD (E.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Bulsara
entered an order:
-- denying Myers's motion for class certification, and
-- granting in part and denying in part the parties' motion to
seal.
The parties are directed to file a renewed sealing application with
narrowly tailored redactions as to Myers's application materials
that were filed entirely under seal, and do so by July 17, 2026.
Myers has not met his burden to show a pattern or practice of
discriminatory treatment by a preponderance of the evidence, the
Court says.
Accordingly, the motion to seal is granted as to the parties'
proposed redactions. However, the parties are directed to confer
and file a public version of Myers's application materials with
tailored redactions and a renewed application to seal any portions
of that document sought to be maintained under seal, beyond the PII
the Court has already deemed permissible to redact.
Myers's motion seeks certification of two different classes, more
narrowly defined than those in his Complaint.
The first, which seeks injunctive relief in the form of changes to
the County's practices, consists of:
"Black and Hispanic applicants for police officer positions in
Nassau County disqualified during the background investigation
phase . . . of the 2018 and subsequent hiring cycles."
The second, which seeks back pay, damages, and an order restoring
class members' eligibility, consists of:
"Black and Hispanic applicants for police officer positions in
Nassau County disqualified during the Background Investigation
of the 2018 hiring cycle."
Nassau is a suburban county located on Long Island, immediately to
the east of New York City.

NEW DIRECTION: Parties Seek to Amend Scheduling Order
-----------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Joseph Gilbert Theriault
and William Weigel, individually and on behalf of those similarly
situated, v. New Direction IRA, Inc., New Direction Trust Company,
and Mainstar Trust, Case No. 2:23-cv-02477-JWB-ADM (D. Kan.), the
Parties ask the Court to enter an amended scheduling order,
extending the deadlines contained in the Court's Amended Scheduling
Order by one month and accounting for the Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays.
Pursuant to the Court's Amended Scheduling Order, the New Direction
Defendants have been making rolling productions of documents
responsive to Plaintiffs' Third Requests for Production, and these
rolling productions will be completed no later than July 31, 2026.
The parties believe that taking the former New Direction employee
depositions after completion of the rolling productions will
promote a more efficient discovery process and avoid the
possibility of having to reopen or supplement those depositions
based upon documents produced later in the rolling production.
Accordingly, the parties jointly request that the Court set Feb. 1,
2027—the proposed deadline for completion of all
Discovery -- as the deadline for completing those third-party
depositions.
New Direction is a provider of Individual Retirement Arrangements
(IRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).

Plaintiff v. NORTH LOS ANGELES COUNTY REGIONAL CENTER, INC., and
DOES 1-100, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 26STCV21845 (Cal.

Defendants seeking damages, restitution, declaratory relief,

occurrence of a data breach.
As part of providing services, NLACRC collected and maintained
highly sensitive personal and health information belonging to
Plaintiff and thousands of other current and former clients. The

The Plaintiff alleges that the data breach was the foreseeable
result of NLACRC's failure to implement and maintain reasonable
cybersecurity safeguards sufficient to protect the sensitive

maintain under seal ECF Nos. 135-19, 135-21, 135-28, 136-21, 136-23
and 136-30; and that the remaining documents in docket entries 135
and 136 that are not identified in the preceding paragraph shall be
unsealed and filed on the public docket.
The Court finds, as PHH contends, that if the information in ECF
Nos. 135-19, -21 and -28, and ECF Nos. 136-21, -23, and -30 were
made publicly available, PHH's present and future business
interests could be subject to injury. Similarly, given the fact
that it seeks to seal only 3 of 47 exhibits, and in light of the
narrow tailoring of its request and the sensitivity of the
information sought to be protected, the Court agrees that the only
way to protect PHH's legitimate commercial interests is to seal the
subject materials.
On Feb. 22, 2023, the Plaintiffs filed this action against PHH
asserting claims relating to convenience fees charged by PHH.
PHH provides mortgage financing solutions.

POWERHOME TECHNOLOGIES: Gotra's Bid to Vacate Class Cert. Tossed
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as BRENNAN LANDY,
individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, v.
POWERHOME TECHNOLOGIES, LLC; and JASJIT GOTRA, Case No.
1:23-cv-00241-JJM-PAS (D.R.I.), the Hon. Judge John J. McConnell,
Jr. entered an order:
-– denying Mr. Gotra's motion to vacate class certification; and
-- granting in part and denying in part Mr. Landy's renewed
motion
for approval of plan for disseminating notice to the class.
Notice shall be made in accordance with Mr. Landy's motion, but he
will bear the costs of notice.
The record establishes that there are common questions that
predominate, the class as defined shares common questions of law
and fact, Mr. Landy's claims are typical, and a class action is
superior to other methods of adjudication here. Therefore, Mr.
Gotra's motion under Rule 23(c)(1)(C) is denied, the Court says.
This is a class action alleging that Defendants violated the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act by making unsolicited automated
calls to the Plaintiff and others similarly situated.
Mr. Landy filed a motion for class certification on May 7, 2025.
Power Home is a privately held security and smart home automation
company.

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

Case No. 3:23-cv-04152-RFL (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Lin entered

motion is denied.

Plaintiffs' motion for class certification.

SELENE FINANCE: England Suit Seeks to Certify Class & Subclass
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as CHRISTEL ENGLAND, KAREN
MEYERS, and ANGELA JOYNER-PERRY, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated, v. SELENE FINANCE, LP, Case No.
1:23-cv-00847-TDS-JEP (M.D.N.C.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to
enter an order:
(a) certifying the North Carolina State Law Class and the FDCPA
Sub-Class under Rules 23(a) and 23(b)(3), or in the
alternative certifying a liability issues class under Rule
23(c)(4);
North Carolina State Law Class (NCDCA and NCCAA):
"All North Carolina residential mortgagors to whom Selene
sent a NC Final Letter, defined as a NOD Letter (Selene
Template DM001) and/or a North Carolina Disclosure (Selene
Template DM018), or any substantially similar form, between
Oct. 4, 2019 and the date an order approving class notice is
Entered."
This class is represented by Plaintiffs Christel England,
Karen Meyers, and Angela Joyner-Perry.
FDCPA Sub-Class:
"All North Carolina residential mortgagors whose servicing
rights were acquired by Selene when their loan was in a state
of delinquency or default, and to whom Selene sent a NOD
Letter (Selene Template DM001) and/or a North Carolina
Disclosure (Selene Template DM018), or any substantially
similar form, between Oct. 4, 2022 and the date an order
approving class notice is entered."
This sub-class is represented by Plaintiffs Christel England
and Karen Meyers only;
(b) appointing the Plaintiffs Christel England, Karen Meyers, and
Angela JoynerPerry as representatives of the North Carolina
State Law Class, and Plaintiffs Christel England and Karen
Meyers as representatives of the FDCPA SubClass; and
(c) appointing the undersigned as class counsel under Rule 23(g).
The action challenges Defendant Selene Finance, LP's uniform
practice of sending North Carolina residential mortgage borrowers
standardized "NC Final Letters" -- a "Notice of Default and Intent
to Accelerate" (the "NOD Letter," Selene Template DM001) and a
"North Carolina Disclosure" (Selene Template DM018)—that
deceptively threaten acceleration and foreclosure on a deadline at
which Selene’s own internal policies and federal law prohibit it
from accelerating or foreclosing.
Selene operates as a residential mortgage company.

STEPHEN SMITH: Bid to Decertify Classes Tossed
----------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as A.M.C., by her next
friend, C.D.C., et al., v. STEPHEN SMITH, in his official capacity
as Deputy Commissioner of Finance and Administration and Director
of the Division of TennCare, Case No. 3:20-cv-00240 (M.D. Tenn.),
the Hon. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr. entered a judgment denying
the motion to decertify Plaintiffs' two Rule 23(b)(2) classes.
The Court's conclusion that section 1396a(a)(3) is not enforceable
by individuals under section 1983 follows other courts. The Court
reaches this conclusion carefully, respectful of published Sixth
Circuit precedent and with little doubt that when given the
opportunity the Sixth Circuit will come to the same conclusion.
The Court holds that section 1396a(a)(3) does not pass the Gonzaga
test, therefore the Plaintiffs' Medicaid Act claims are not
enforceable under section 1983 and must be dismissed.
Prior to trial, the Court certified two classes -- "Plaintiff
Class" and "Disability Subclass." The Court engaged in a vigorous
Rule 23(b) analysis regarding TennCare policies and procedures that
resulted in individuals losing TennCare coverage in violation of
the Due Process Clause and the Medicaid Act. The "Plaintiff Class"
consisted of individuals who "have been or will be disenrolled from
TennCare," and the "Disability Subclass" applied to "Plaintiff
Class members who are 'qualified individuals with a disability' as
defined in 42 U.S.C."

THERMA LLC: Does Not Properly Pay Workers, Rivas Alleges
--------------------------------------------------------
LUIS RIVAS, individually, and on behalf of other similarly situated
employees, Plaintiff v. THERMA LLC; and DOES 1 through 25,
inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 26STCV21745 (Super. Ct., Los
Angeles Cty., Cal., July 10, 2026) is a class action to recover
damages on behalf of Plaintiff and all current and former
hourly-paid and non-exempt employees who worked for Defendants in
the State of California.
The complaint relates that the Plaintiff performed various duties
for Defendants including, among other things, maintaining building
systems and facilities, replacing filters and bearings, calibrating
pneumatic thermostats, troubleshooting and repairing electrical
issues, and monitoring facility operations to ensure proper
functionality and safety. The Plaintiff alleges, that Defendants
engaged in a pattern and practice of wage abuse against their
hourly-paid and non-exempt employees. This wage abuse involved
requiring Plaintiff and the other Class Members to work
off-the-clock without compensation, failing to properly pay wages
for all hours worked, failing to provide all meal and rest breaks
to which they were entitled and failing to pay meal and rest break
premiums when due, failing to timely pay wages during employment
and upon termination of employment, failing to provide accurate
wage statements, failing to reimburse necessary business-related
expenses, and failing to adhere to other related protections
afforded by the California Labor Code and the applicable Industrial
Welfare Commission Wage Orders.
The Defendants knew or should have known that they had a duty to
compensate Plaintiff and the other Class Members pursuant to
California law. Defendants had the financial ability to pay such
compensation, but willfully, knowingly, and intentionally failed to
do so to increase Defendants' profits, says the suit.
Through this action, Plaintiff seeks to recover all available
remedies including but not limited to actual and liquidated damages
and attorney's fees and costs.
Plaintiff LUIS RIVAS worked for Defendants from February 2021
through August 2025 as an Operations Engineer.
Defendant THERMA LLC is one of California's commercial HVAC

TRUSTAFF MANAGEMENT: Tarber Seeks to Recover Unpaid Overtime Wages
------------------------------------------------------------------
KEELY TARBER and EVAN WOOTEN, on behalf of themselves and all
others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. TRUSTAFF MANAGEMENT, LLC,
TRUSTAFF PERSONNEL SERVICES, LLC, TRUSTAFF TRAVEL NURSES, LLC and
INGENOVIS TALENT OPERATIONS, LLC, Defendants, Case No.
1:26-cv-00672-MWM (S.D. Ohio, July 10, 2026) seeks to recover from
the Defendants overtime compensation for Plaintiffs and other
similarly situated co-workers pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
Defendant Trustaff regularly requires employees to work in excess
of 40 hours per week. However, because Trustaff classifies
Plaintiff and other employees as exempt, it fails to pay them any
overtime compensation for these hours worked over 40 in a work
week.
The Plaintiffs seek to remedy violations of the wage and hour
provisions of the FLSA by Defendant Trustaff that have deprived
them and others similarly situated of their lawfully earned wages.
The Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and all
similarly situated persons who work or have worked for Defendant
Trustaff as recruiters in the United States, on or after July,
2023, who elect to opt-in to this action.

UNITED STATES: Appeals Injunction and Class Cert. Order in Coe Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
TODD BLANCHE, et al. are taking an appeal from a court order
granting the Plaintiffs' proposed order to show cause for a
temporary restraining order and provisional class certification in
the lawsuit entitled Carter Coe, by and through his parent and next
friend Caroline Coe, et al., on behalf of themselves and all
similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. Todd Blanche, Acting United
States Attorney General, in his official capacity, et al.,
Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-4641, in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York.
The suit is brought against the Defendants for alleged civil rights
violations.
On June 2, 2026, the Plaintiffs filed a proposed order to show
cause for a temporary restraining order and a motion for
provisional class certification, which Judge Katherine Polk Failla
granted on June 24, 2026.
The Court ruled that the Plaintiffs sufficiently provisionally
demonstrated that the proposed Class and New York University (NYU)
Subclass adhere to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and such
classes are hereby provisionally certified. Department of Justice
(DOJ) Defendants, their officers, agents, successors, servants,
employees, and attorneys, and any other persons who are in active
concert or participation with them, are restrained and enjoined
from: seeking, receiving, using, retaining, or disseminating any
identifying or sensitive health information of the Plaintiffs and
members of the Class through the subpoenas at issue or
substantially similar administrative or grand jury subpoenas as
part of the U.S Department of Justices claimed investigations into
health care offenses related to gender-affirming medical care. NYU
Defendants, their officers, agents, successors, servants,
employees, and attorneys, and any other persons who are in active
concert or participation with them, are restrained and enjoined
from: disclosing or producing any identifying or sensitive health
information of the Plaintiffs and members of the NYU Subclass to
the DOJ Defendants in response to the subpoena at issue or any
substantially similar administrative or grand jury subpoenas as
part of the U.S. Department of Justices claimed investigations into
healthcare offenses related to gender-affirming medical care. The
security requirement is hereby waived because the Defendants will
not suffer any costs from the preliminary injunction, the
Plaintiffs are suing the government to vindicate constitutional
rights, and imposing a security requirement would pose a hardship
for the Plaintiffs.

UNITED STATES: Komatsu Bid to Intervene Nixed
---------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as FR. FABIAN ARIAS, STEPHEN
KELLY, LAURA MCCALLUM, DEBBIE NATHAN, DR. ZOEY PHILLIPS, v. U.S.
IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT; DAVID J. VENTURELLA, in his
official capacity as the senior official performing the duties of
the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; et al.,
Case No. 1:26-cv-02130-CM (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge McMahon
entered an order denying Intervenor Towaki Komatsu's motion for
leave to file motion to intervene.
The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion at Docket
Number 78.
Mr. Komatsu has not identified the interest required by Rule 24(
a)(2). Mr. Komatsu's proposed grounds for intervention concern
alleged misconduct by federal courthouse security officers and the
United States Marshals Service dating back to 2018, as well as his
disagreement with a filing-restriction order entered by Judge
Valerie E. Caproni in Butler v. City of New York, No. 15-cv-3783
(VEC). Those subjects are collateral to claims at issue in this
action. They do not give Mr. Komatsu a direct, substantial, and
legally protectable interest in this litigation, the Court
contends.
Nor will disposition of this action impair or impede Mr. Komatsu's
ability to protect any interest he may have. This Court will not
adjudicate the legality of the conduct allegedly directed at Mr.
Komatsu by courthouse security officers or the United States
Marshals Service, and its rulings will not determine the validity
or application of the filing restrictions imposed in Butler. Mr.
Komatsu therefore has no right to intervene under Rule 24(a)(2),
the Court adds.
The Defendants include U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY;
MARK.WAYNE MULLIN, in his official capacity as Secretary of
Homeland Security; U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE; TODD BLANCHE, in his
official capacity as Acting Attorney General; GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION; and EDWARD FORST, in his official capacity as
Administrator of General Services.
US Immigration conducts criminal investigations, enforces
immigration laws, preserves national security, and protects public
safety.

V.F. CORPORATION: Brooks Suit Removed to W.D. Washington
--------------------------------------------------------
The case captioned as Timothy Brooks, on his own behalf and on
behalf of others similarly situated v. V.F. CORPORATION and VF
OUTDOOR, LLC, doing business as: VANS, Case No. 26-2-18862-9 SEA
was removed from the Superior Court of the State of Washington for
the County of King, to the United States District Court for Western
District of Washington on July 10, 2026, and assigned Case No.
2:26-cv-02440.
In the Complaint, Plaintiff seeks relief from Defendants,
individually and on behalf of similarly-situated Washington
residents, pursuant to the Washington Commercial Electronic Mail
Act, codified at chapter 190 of title 19 of the Revised Code of
Washington (or "RCW"), specifically, Wash. Rev. Code § 19.190.020
et seq. (hereafter, the "CEMA") in Count I; and the Washington
Consumer Protection Act, codified at chapter 86 of title 19 of the
RCW. In particular, Plaintiff's Complaint and the attachments
thereto allege, inter alia, that Plaintiff received at least 5
supposedly false or misleading emails about "limited time" sales in
purported violation of the CEMA and the CPA between March 2023 and
September 2024.[BN]

VAN LAURENCE BARKER: Cervantez-Tkac Class Action Stayed
-------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as CRYSTAL CERVANTEZ-TKAC, et
al., v. VAN LAURENCE BARKER, et al., Case No. 3:26-cv-00280-CHB
(W.D. Ky.), the Hon. Judge Boom entered an order as follows:
1. This matter is stayed pending further order of the Court.
2. All pending motions are administratively remanded.
3. Counsel for the Plaintiffs shall file a copy of this Order
with the Eastern District of New York, Summitbridge Wealth
Mgmt., LLC v. Lighthouse Estates, LLC, No. 2:26-cv-00141
(JMA) (ST)), on or before July 14, 2026.
4. On or before Jan. 11, 2027, and for every six months
thereafter, the plaintiffs shall file a status report with
the Court advising of the status of the Summitbridge
matter.
The decision to impose a stay, rather than dismiss or transfer this
action, resolves Plaintiffs' personal jurisdiction concerns, the
Court says.
As for the other available remedies, dismissal without prejudice is
generally disfavored (and may be inappropriate given the
Plaintiffs' jurisdictional concerns), and allowing both cases to
proceed without interruption "is not prudent because there are
motions pending in both courts and there is a risk that the two
courts may rule inconsistently," the Court adds.
The Plaintiffs allege that they fell victim to "a Ponzi scheme
operated through Lighthouse [Estates LLC] and affiliated entities."
Specifically, the Plaintiffs allege that the case involves "an
elaborate scheme through which Defendant Van Laurence Barker,
together with his family members, business associates, and
affiliated entities, solicited at least $26 million from more than
125 private money lenders across the United States to fund
purported real estate investments."

VBIT TECHNOLOGIES: Summary Judgment Filing Extended in Pelham
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as PARKER PELHAM,
Individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, v. VBIT
TECHNOLOGIES CORP., CLASS ACTION VBIT MINING LLC, VBIT DC CORP.,
ADVANCED MINING GROUP, DANH CONG VO A/K/A DON VO, PHUONG D VO A/K/A
KATIE VO, SEAN TU, JIN GAO AND LILLIAN ZHAO, Case No.
1:23-cv-00162-JLH-SRF (D. Del.), the Parties ask the Court to enter
an order that:
1. The July 31, 2026, deadline to file summary judgment motions
is extended to 30 days following the Court's order on the
Dettmering Motion; and
2. The July 31, 2026, deadline to file motions for class
certification is extended to 30 days following the Court's
order on the Dettmering Motion.
Good cause exists for this extension as a matter of judicial
economy, efficiency, and to avoid conflicting rulings because the
Court's resolution of the Dettmering Motion is very likely to
resolve issues of fact and/or of law that are material to (or
perhaps even dispositive of) Mr. Gao's motion for summary judgment
in this case including whether (i) the VBit mining packages are or
are not "securities", and (ii) there are any facts to support
claims against Mr. Gao individually regarding any fraud, securities
or otherwise, the suit asserts.
VBit sells bitcoin mining hardware and offers mining equipment
hosting.

WATSON CLINIC: Discloses Personal Info to 3rd Parties, B.D. Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
B.D., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. WATSON CLINIC ASC, LLP, Defendant, Case No.
8:26-cv-01977 (M.D. Fla., July 10, 2026) is a class action against
the Defendant for violations of the Florida Security of
Communications Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act,
breach of confidence, invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, and
breach of implied contract.
The case arises from the Defendant's practice of disclosing the
personally identifiable information and protected health
information of the Plaintiff and similarly situated patients to
third parties, including Google, Inc. According to the complaint,
the Defendant installed tracking technologies on its website,
www.watsonclinic.com, which allows third parties to access
confidential information without consent. As a result, the private
information of the Plaintiff and Class members was compromised
through access by and disclosure to unauthorized third parties.

WELLS FARGO: Plaintiff Seeks Clarification of Class Cert Order
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned Re Wells Fargo Cash Sweep
Litigation, Case No. 3:24-cv-04616-VC (N.D. Cal.), the Plaintiffs
ask the Court to enter an order granting their motion for leave to
file Plaintiffs' proposed motion for reconsideration and/or
clarification of the Order pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-9.
The Plaintiffs submit that the IRA Promise—which applies to all
IRA accountholders, including those with advisory accounts—is the
type of discrete, overlooked material fact that Rule 7-9(b)(3)
contemplates.
Accordingly, the Plaintiffs seek leave to move to reconsider or
clarify this narrow aspect of the Court's Order. To the extent the
Defendant continues to seek to present any extrinsic evidence
regarding the IRA Promise, the Plaintiffs request that the Court
clarify that such evidence would only be relevant to the proper
interpretation of the standard form contract.
The Plaintiffs' proposed motion for reconsideration requests that
the Court reconsider its denial of certification, with prejudice,
only as to the Advisory Subclass IRA accountholders and clarify
that the denial of certification was solely with regard to those
accountholders' participation in the proposed Advisory Subclass,
and does not prevent them from being included as members of the
proposed IRA Subclass in the Plaintiffs' forthcoming renewed motion
for class certification.
To the extent Defendant contends that it may offer extrinsic
evidence regarding the IRA Promise as to the advisory IRA
accountholders, or that its previously offered extrinsic evidence
applies to those accountholders, the Plaintiffs request that the
Court clarify that any such evidence is either irrelevant given the
unambiguous IRA Promise, or relevant only to the common question of
the proper interpretation of the standard form contract.
Wells Fargo is an American multinational financial services
company.

WEX INC: Conditional Class Cert Bid in Darby Due Dec. 11
--------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as PAMELA DARBY, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. WEX INC., Case
No. 2:26-cv-00147-SDN (D. Me.), the Hon. Judge Wolf entered an
order on joint objection to scheduling order:
Thus, the parties shall follow the two-step approach to FLSA
collective actions.
The parties' stipulations are accepted, and the case is assigned to
the complex track. The first stage of discovery shall be completed
by Nov. 13, 2026.
Consistent with Belanger, this stage of discovery is limited to
information relevant to conditionally certifying the collective
action, which may include documents like job descriptions, payroll
records or summaries showing common practices among the potential
collective, and documents concerning corporate structure.
Any motion by Plaintiff for notice and conditional class
certification under 28 U.S.C. section 216(b) must be filed no later
than Dec. 11, 2026. The Defendant's response is due Jan. 8, 2027.
The Plaintiff's reply is due by Jan. 22, 2027.
All other deadlines are held in abeyance and to be set after the
Court rules on the Plaintiff's motion for court-authorized notice.
In Belanger v. Ocean State Jobbers Inc., the Court granted a joint
objection to the scheduling order, which proposed that first-stage
discovery "shall solely consist of discovery related to whether the
case shall proceed to notice and proceed as a conditionally
certified collective action." The same procedure applies here.
In her complaint, Pamela Darby alleges that WEX, Inc., violated the
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and related state laws by failing
to properly compensate for all hours worked and to pay the overtime
premium for all hours worked in excess of forty per workweek.
WEX is a provider of payment processing and information management
services to the United States commercial and government vehicle
fleet industry.

WFG NATIONAL: Miles Seeks FLSA Conditional Collective Certification
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Jada Miles, an Arizona
resident; v. WFG National Title Insurance Company, a Foreign
Insurer-for-Profit; Case No. 2:26-cv-03484-SHD (D. Ariz.), the
Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order conditionally certifying
a collective action pursuant to Section 216(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA") consisting of:
"All employees who work[ed] for the Defendant WFG National
Title Insurance Company and/or a related entity; within the
last three years; who work[ed] over 40 hours in any given
workweek as a past or present escrow assistant or escrow
officer (or similar job title and/or similar job duties and
responsibilities)."
These employees were not paid overtime at the correct overtime rate
of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a given workweek, were
misclassified as exempt, and/or worked off the clock hours that
they did not receive overtime compensation for are known as (the
"Collective Members").
The Plaintiff seeks to recover unpaid overtime wages for herself
and the Collective Members, requiring the proper payment of
overtime wages to employees, under the collective action mechanism
of the FLSA.
At this preliminary stage, the Plaintiff has come forward with
sufficient factual bases from which this Court can determine that
similarly situated plaintiffs exist, the suit asserts.
The Plaintiff Miles worked for Defendants full-time from June 23,
2024, to May 5, 2025.
WFG offers property and casualty insurance products.

WORKDAY INC: Class Certification Bid in Mobley Due Sept. 14
-----------------------------------------------------------
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 Lin entered an order granting the Plaintiffs' motion to
change time.
The following case deadlines are set:
Class certification motion: Sept. 14, 2026
Last day to depose expert(s) disclosed Oct. 5, 2026
with class certification motion:
Opposition to class certification Nov. 10, 2026
motion, motion to decertify:

and motion to decertify:
Reply to class certification motion: Dec. 8, 2026
Opposition to motion to decertify: Jan. 6, 2027
Class certification hearing: March 9, 2027
In light of the potential need for additional discovery, resolution
of related discovery disputes, and modification of expert reports,
the Plaintiffs have shown good cause for the requested extension,
the Court says.
With respect to the briefing schedule, the Plaintiffs fairly
identify an asymmetry in the timing of the briefing, particularly
in light of the potential need to depose additional expert(s) for
the decertification motion. The requested adjustment is
appropriate, the Court adds.
Workday is an American on‑demand (cloud-based) financial
management, human capital management, and student information
