Colo.), the Defendant asks the Court to enter an order to adjourn sine die the current end date for discovery and motion for class certification deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order until after the Court rules on the Defendant's pending Motion to Dismiss. A significant portion of the anticipated discovery and class certification briefing in this action is class-focused, which overlaps with the class discovery that the Court has stayed. It would not be feasible for the parties to complete discovery and to brief class certification, supported by class expert reports, while class discovery is stayed and the expert designation deadlines have been vacated, particularly since the case may not proceed at all following the Court's ruling on the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, the Defendant contends. The Plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint against the Defendant asserting a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 ("TCPA") in connection with certain text messages he claims to have received on his cell phone in March and April 2025. 1st Class is a distributor of portable oxygen concentrators.

ACTS RETIREMENT-LIFE COMMUNITIES, INC., Defendant, Case No. 26-CA-0739685 (Fla. Cir., 1st Jud., Escambia Cty., July 23, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for discrimination based upon race and retaliation. The Plaintiff is a member of a protected class due to her race, and she was retaliated against after reporting Defendant's unlawful employment practices. The Plaintiff, who is African American, began her employment with Defendant on August 17, 2022, and held the position of Charge Licensed Practical Nurse at the time of her wrongful termination on November 19, 2025. The complaint alleges that during her employment with Defendant, the Plaintiff was subjected to disparate treatment, different terms and conditions of employment, and held to a different standard because of her race. Because she reported Defendant's unlawful employment activities, she was subject to retaliation thereafter. The disparate treatment and retaliation came at the hands of specifically, but not limited to, Director of Nursing Kelli Barfield, Regional Director of Human Resources Kaci FitzPatrick, and Executive Director Brent Ramsey, says the suit. ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, Inc. provides senior retirement care, supportive health, independent living, skilled nursing, and other related services.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Marie A. Mattox, Esq. MARIE A. MATTOX, P.

ADIDAS AMERICA, INC., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-01511-AB (D. Ore., July 21, 2026) is a class action on behalf of the Plaintiffs and all others similarly situated against the Defendant seeking restitution and disgorgement of all tariff overcharges, prejudgment interest, and other equitable and monetary relief. Beginning in February 2025, President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. These executive orders imposed tariffs on goods imported from most foreign countries, including Canada, Mexico, and China. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. Therefore, all tariffs imposed pursuant to IEEPA are void. The complaint alleges that Adidas responded to the IEEPA tariffs by raising prices on consumer goods to pass those costs on to its customers. Adidas sued the federal government in the Court of International Trade, seeking a tariff refund along with equitable relief. Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden has even asserted that the company is entitled to a $300 million tariff refund. Yet Adidas has made no legally binding commitment to refund customers for tariff-related overcharges. Adidas therefore stands to gain windfall profits at its customers' expense. Accordingly, the Plaintiff brings this action individually and on behalf of similarly situated individuals to seek redress for violations of the California Unfair Competition Law and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, as well as declaratory relief, common law Unjust Enrichment and common law Money Had and Received, and for such other relief as the Court may deem just and appropriate. Adidas America, Inc. designs and markets apparel products. The Company provides shoes, apparel, and accessories for men, women, boys, girls, and infants and toddlers, as well as offers sports collections including basketball, football, and training shoes.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Michelle Freed, Esq.

AESTO, LLC d/b/a AESTO HEALTH, Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-01303-ACA (N.D. Ala., July 23, 2026) is a class action arising from Defendant Aesto's failure to properly secure and safeguard highly sensitive protected health information and personally identifiable information that Plaintiff and a class of individuals entrusted to it. On December 18, 2025, Aesto experienced a network security incident that impacted a limited portion of its Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Aesto later determined that between December 2, 2025, and December 18, 2025, an unauthorized actor may have accessed and/or acquired protected health information belonging to Plaintiff and other patients of various Covered Entity clients stored within Aesto's network. Aesto owed a duty of care to Plaintiff and Class Members to use reasonable care in handling and safeguarding their private information. Aesto breached its duties by failing to implement and maintain adequate, industry standard cybersecurity safeguards for its AWS environment and related systems; by failing to promptly detect the unauthorized access; by failing to remediate known vulnerabilities; and by failing to provide reasonably timely notice of the Data Breach to affected individuals, says the suit.

Capital One, N.A., Defendant, Civil Action No. 25-2711-TDC (D. Md.), Judge Theodore D. Chuang of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted the Defendant's motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff Lynn Strange filed this putative class action against Defendant Capital One, National Association, in which she alleged that the Defendant knowingly collected credit card interest at a rate exceeding the maximum permitted by Virginia law and thereby violated the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 85-86. The Defendant, a national bank based in Virginia, issued credit cards to its customers. In February 2024, the Plaintiff accepted and began using a credit card in Maryland. The Plaintiff brought the case on behalf of a putative class of persons who paid interest at a rate of more than 6 percent per annum on consumer credit card accounts where the card was accepted and first used in Maryland. The National Bank Act governed the interest rates that national banks were permitted to charge. The statute provided that a national banking association may charge interest at the rate allowed by the laws of the State where the bank is located. Because the Defendant was based in Virginia, the parties agreed that it could charge interest up to the maximum rate permitted by Virginia law. While the default legal rate of interest in Virginia was six percent, Virginia law provided that any bank may impose finance charges at such rates as may be agreed by the borrower under an open-end credit plan. In the operative Amended Complaint, the Plaintiff alleged that because the Credit Card Agreement permitted the Defendant to unilaterally change any term at its whim, the Agreement was unsupported by consideration and was never formed as an agreement. The Plaintiff further alleged that when the Defendant collected interest at annual rates of approximately 30 percent, it did so without a valid agreement. She sought damages measured at twice the amount of interest collected and a declaratory judgment that the Defendant could not collect interest at a rate higher than six percent without an agreement. The Court applied Maryland law to determine whether the Credit Card Agreement was a validly formed contract. Under Maryland law, for a contract to be binding and enforceable, there must be consideration, which could be established by showing a benefit to the promisor or a detriment to the promisee. The Plaintiff asserted that the change-in-terms clause rendered the commitments made by the Defendant illusory and thus incapable of supplying the necessary consideration. The Court found that the Credit Card Agreement was supported by consideration not undermined by the change-in-terms clause. Specifically, the Agreement established a commitment by the Defendant to extend a line of credit in exchange for the Plaintiff's promise to pay her credit card balance. Although the clause allowed the Defendant to change terms, the Defendant was bound to adhere to terms relating to interest rates and fees during the 45-day notice period required by Regulation Z. This 45-day period established a time during which at least some of the consideration must be maintained. Furthermore, the Court noted that the Defendant rendered performance of the bargained-for exchange by extending credit to the Plaintiff for her purchases as consideration for her promise to repay the loans. The Court found that the fact that the Defendant performed by repeatedly authorizing transactions and providing financing demonstrated that the agreement was supported by consideration. Therefore, the Court found that the Credit Card Agreement was a validly formed contract. The Court concluded that the Plaintiff could not succeed on her National Bank Act claim because there was an agreement permitting the interest rate charged. Where Virginia law allowed interest to be charged at rates set forth in an agreement between the parties, the Plaintiff could not establish that the Defendant charged an interest rate higher than permitted by law.

CHICK-FIL-A, INC., Case No. 1:26-cv-04160-MLB (N.D. Ga., July 23, 2026), is brought against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated individuals ("Class Members") personally identifying information, including names, email addresses, last four digits of stored credit/debit cards, date of birth, phone number, home address, Chick fil-A One account credit balance, Chick-fil-A One membership number, and Chick-fil-A One mobile pay number ("Private Information"). By collecting, storing, and maintaining Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information, Chick-fil-A has a resulting duty to secure, maintain, protect, and safeguard the Private Information that it collects and stores against unauthorized access and disclosure through reasonable and adequate data security measures. Despite Chick-fil-A's duty to safeguard the Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members, their Private Information in Defendant's possession was compromised when an unauthorized party gained access to Defendant's network and exfiltrated sensitive data stored therein on June 17, 2026 (the "Data Breach"). In particular, the Private Information was maintained on Chick-fil-A's computer system and network in a condition vulnerable to cyberattacks. Upon information and belief, the mechanism of the cyberattack and potential for improper disclosure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was a known risk to Defendant, and thus Defendant was on notice that failing to take steps necessary to secure the Private Information from those risks left that property in a dangerous condition. The Defendant disregarded the rights of Plaintiff and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and/or negligently failing to implement adequate and reasonable measures to ensure that Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was safeguarded, failing to take available steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of data and failing to follow applicable, required and appropriate protocols, policies, and procedures regarding the encryption of data, even for internal use. As a result, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was compromised by an unauthorized third-party, says the complaint. The Plaintiff and Class Members are individuals who were required to indirectly and/or directly provide Defendant with their Private Information.

CHRISTY SPORTS L.L.C., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-06188 (S.D.N.Y., July 22, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its interactive website, www.christysports.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired persons in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York State General Business Law. During Plaintiff's visits to the website, the last occurring on May 6, 2026, in an attempt to purchase Salomon Genesis Trail Running Shoes Womens from Defendant and to view the information on the website, the Plaintiff encountered multiple access barriers that denied her a shopping experience similar to that of a sighted person and full and equal access to the goods and services offered to the public and made available to the public. She was unable to locate pricing and was not able to add the item to the cart due to broken links, pictures without alternate attributes and other barriers on Defendant's website, asserts the complaint.

CLOVER HEALTH INVESTMENTS CORP., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-01049 (M.D. Tenn., July 23, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' protected health information and personally identifiable information stored within Defendant's information network. On no later than July 4, 2026, unauthorized third party cybercriminals gained access to Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII and PHI as hosted with Defendant, with the intent of engaging in the misuse of the PII and PHI, including marketing and selling of Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII and PHI. According to the complaint, the Defendant disregarded the rights of Plaintiff and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, or negligently failing to take and implement adequate and reasonable measures to ensure that Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII and PHI was safeguarded, failing to take available steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of data, and failing to follow applicable, required and appropriate protocols, policies and procedures regarding the encryption of data, even for internal use. As a result, the PII and PHI of Plaintiff and Class Members was compromised through disclosure to an unknown and unauthorized third party -- a third party that seeks to profit from this disclosure by defrauding Plaintiff and Class Members in the future, says the suit.

CLOVER HEALTH INVESTMENTS, CORP., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-01047 (M.D. Tenn., July 23, 2026) arises 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 about its patients, including Plaintiff. But Defendant lost control over that data when cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently protected computer systems in a data breach. The suit alleges that the cybercriminals were able to breach Defendant's systems because Defendant failed to adequately train its employees on cybersecurity and failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards or protocols to protect the Class' PII/PHI. In short, the Defendant's failures placed the Class' PII/PHI in a vulnerable position -- rendering them easy targets for cybercriminals, adds the suit. Accordingly, the Plaintiff brought this suit against the Defendant for gross negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and declaratory judgment.

COGENT COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC.; DAVID SCHAEFFER; and THADDEUS G. WEED, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-02609 (D.C., July 23, 2026) is a securities class action on behalf of all purchasers of Cogent common stock between February 29, 2024 and May 1, 2026 (the "Class Period"), against Cogent and certain of its officers and directors for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants are engaged in a fraudulent scheme and course of business that operated as a fraud or deceit on purchasers of Cogent common stock was a success, as the Defendants (i) deceived the investing public regarding Cogent's prospects and business; (ii) artificially inflated the prices of Cogent common stock; and (iii) caused plaintiff and other members of the Class to purchase Cogent common stock at inflated prices.

CoStar Group acquired Matterport on Feb. 28, 2025. Several lawsuits have been filed alleging imposed invalid "transfer restrictions on shares of Matterport LLC stock: on July 19, 2024 by Damien Leostic and William Schmitt; on Aug. 16, 2024 by Greg Coombe; on Sept. 19, 2024 by Build Legacy LLC, Build the Future Trust under agreement dated Nov. 16, 2023, Penchant Capital LLC, Penchant Trust, and iRobot Corporation. On Sept. 16, 2024, Kimberly Burdi-Dumas, a former Matterport employee, filed a putative class action complaint on behalf of all persons or entities who were stockholders of Matterport as of July 21, 2021, and who, pursuant to the merger with Gores Holdings VI, Inc., from being sold until Jan. 18, 2022. On Nov. 26, 2024, Schmitt amended his complaint to bring a class action on behalf of former members of Matterport who did not receive their shares immediately following the closing of the Gores transaction. On Dec. 6, 2024, the Burdi-Dumas complaint was amended to include a second plaintiff, Janet Day, and additional claims. These cases have now been consolidated and coordinated into a single action, with discovery and briefing on the proposed class action. On Sept. 16, 2024, former Matterport employee Kimberly Burdi-Dumas filed a putative class action complaint on behalf of all persons or entities who were stockholders of Matterport as of July 21, 2021. The putative class consists of those who, pursuant to the Gores transaction, were thereafter issued and held Matterport shares that were allegedly improperly restricted from being sold until Jan. 18, 2022. The complaint challenges the timing and restrictions on the issuance and tradability of those shares. On Nov. 26, 2024, Schmitt amended his complaint to bring a class action on behalf of former members of Matterport who did not receive their shares immediately following the closing of the Gores Transaction. This amendment expanded his case from an individual action into a proposed class proceeding focused on delayed share issuance. It asserts that affected former members suffered harm from not receiving their equity promptly at closing. On Dec. 6, 2024, the Burdi-Dumas complaint was amended to include a second plaintiff, Janet Day, and to assert additional claims. This amendment broadened the scope of the putative class allegations and expanded the factual and legal theories at issue. The cases have been consolidated and coordinated into a single action. Discovery is ongoing, and a briefing on class certification is underway, reflecting an advanced procedural stage focused on class certification and the merits of the claims.

According to the complaint, when consumers visit the website, they are presented with the opportunity to opt out of third-party tracking technologies including those which Defendant uses for targeted advertising and website performance. Unbeknownst to its customers, and contrary to its express assurance that customers have control over the sale and sharing of their personal information, Defendant intercepts and discloses its customers' personally identifiable information, and product purchase information to unknown third parties -- including, but not limited to Third Parties -- even when customers affirmatively disable the tracking technologies.

COX ENTERPRISES, INC. d/b/a THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, Case No. 1:26-cv-02295-TWT (N.D. Ga.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order granting his motion to stay the deadline to file his motion for class certification pending resolution of the Defendant's motion to compel arbitration and stay case and the issuance of a briefing schedule. Given the current stay of the Rule 26(f) Report and the Defendant's answer deadline until a ruling on the motion to compel arbitration, the parties have yet to discuss case management deadlines, including a class certification briefing schedule and discovery schedule, as part of the Rule 26(f) conference. In light of the need to conduct discovery, the Plaintiff requests that the Court stay the deadline for filing a motion for class certification pending resolution of the Defendant's motion to compel arbitration and stay.

Diesel U.S.A., Inc. and Diesel S.p.A., Defendants, Case No. 0:26-cv-03387-JWB-ECW (D.

EDIKTED LLC, Case No. 2:26-cv-08086 (C.D. Cal., July 23, 2026), is brought as a result of the Defendant's false and deceptive marketing in violation of California's False Advertising Law; violation of California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act; violation of California's Unfair Competition Law; negligent misrepresentation; intentional misrepresentation; fraud; violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act; violation of the california Invasion Of Privacy Act. On the Website, on third-party websites, in emails to consumers, in social media advertising, Edikted consistently advertises its Products on sale for purchase at a discounted price. In truth, the "sales" are perpetual, i.e. the Products are always sold at a purportedly discounted price, and never at the original reference or "comp. value" prices. Through this false and deceptive marketing, advertising, and pricing scheme, Defendant has violated California law, which expressly prohibits falsely advertising goods on "sale" from fictitious former prices. The regular prices Defendant advertises are not actually Defendant's regular prices because the Products are consistently available for less than that. The purported discounts Defendant advertises are not the true discounts the customer is receiving and are often not discounts at all. The Defendant also represents to visitors of its Website that they may reject non-essential cookies and instruct Defendant not to sell or share their personal information, yet Defendant continues to deploy tracking technologies that collect and transmit users' Website communications to third parties regardless of those selections. Through this conduct, Defendant has violated federal and California privacy laws that prohibit the unauthorized interception and disclosure of electronic communications, says the complaint. The Plaintiff made three purchases between March 2026 and April 2026, in which she bought several Products from Defendant. Edikted sells and markets clothes and accessories (the "Products"), including on its website www.edikted.com (the "Website") and on third party sites.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Raphael Janove, Esq.

The Plaintiffs' motion for class certification is denied. Blades' Objections argue that the Magistrate Judge relied on "incomplete or inaccurate factual findings and on credibility and factual determinations outside the existing record", but the R&R made no factual findings or credibility determinations, the Court says.

Elegante Services, Inc., Jose Viloria, and Angela Pratts, Defendants, Civil Action No. 24-cv-2058 (JPO) (OTW) (S.D.N.Y.), Judge Ona T. Wang of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the Defendants' motion for reconsideration of a prior order granting conditional collective certification. The litigation originated when the Plaintiffs moved for conditional collective certification pursuant to 29 U.S.C. Section 216(b). The Plaintiffs showed that they and other employees regularly worked through scheduled meal breaks without compensation to the Defendants' knowledge. The Court previously granted the motion in part, narrowing the scope of the proposed collective to non-exempt, hourly paid medical transportation drivers, drivers, or helpers. In connection to the notice of pendency, the Court granted a six-year extension of the statute of limitations under New York State law and authorized distribution via email and text message. The Defendants moved for reconsideration, seeking to narrow the distribution of the notice to potential opt-in plaintiffs hired before August 1, 2024. They also requested the removal of language in the proposed notice alleging deductions for additional time other than meal breaks. The Defendants contended that the company stopped its deduction of meal break time as of August 1, 2024, and argued that the notice should not be distributed to individuals employed after that date. Judge Wang rejected the argument to reduce the notice period, finding that the Defendants did not sufficiently show the narrowing was justified. While the company may have stopped meal break deductions, the Court found the evidence failed to show the practice was remedied for wage deductions unrelated to meal breaks. The Court observed that proceeding with the collective action at this stage complied with the goal of reducing the multiplicity of lawsuits and encouraging effective resolution of underlying issues. The Court further rejected the argument that the notice language regarding other deductions should be removed because it did not mirror the original complaint. Judge Wang ruled that claims in a court-authorized notice are not required to be identical to the complaint.

EPOCH GEOSERVICES, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03372 (D. Colo., July 24, 2026) seeks to recover unpaid overtime wages and other damages from Epoch Geoservices under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Plaintiff Clark and the other workers like him were typically scheduled for at least 12-hour shifts, 7 days a week, and they routinely worked several weeks without time off. The Plaintiff and the other workers like him often worked even more than that, but they were not paid overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a single workweek, asserts the complaint. Instead of paying overtime as required by the FLSA, Defendant Epoch improperly classified these workers as independent contractors and paid them a single day rate for all hours worked each day, says the suit. Plaintiff Clark worked for Epoch from June 2021 until May 2026 as a wellsite geologist and mudlogger.

EYEMART EXPRESS LLC, Case No. 3:26-cv-01378-K (N.D. Tex.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order to stay the deadline for filing a motion for class certification pending the Court's ruling on the Plaintiffs' unopposed motion to consolidate related class actions, appoint interim class counsel, and set scheduling deadlines. The current class certification deadline raises practical concerns, as it is premature given the procedural posture of the litigation. The Related Actions have not yet been consolidated, interim lead counsel has not yet been appointed, no consolidated class action complaint has been filed, defendant has not filed a response or an answer, and discovery has not yet commenced. As a result, the scope of the claims, the identity of the class representatives, and the contours of any proposed class(es) remain undefined, the suit says. The underlying litigation stems from an alleged data breach impacting Defendant Eyemart Express LLC's systems in or around April 2026. The Defendant is a U.S. retail optical chain founded in 1990.

Nev., July 21, 2026) is an action arising from the Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard 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 the 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. 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, despite having the financial wherewithal and personnel necessary to prevent the Data Breach, nevertheless failed to use reasonable security procedures and practice appropriate to the nature of the sensitive, unencrypted information it maintained for Plaintiff and Class Members, causing the exposure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information. As a result of the Defendant's inadequate digital security and notice process, the Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was exposed to criminals, alleges the suit.

On June 9, 2025, the Defendant learned that certain systems within its network environment were subject to a cybersecurity incident. After an investigation, the Defendant determined that files containing PII were potentially accessed and/or acquired by an unauthorized third-party. The complaint asserts that Defendant failed to properly monitor and properly implement data security practices with regard to the computer network and systems that housed the private information. If Defendant had properly monitored its networks, it would have discovered the data breach sooner. The Plaintiff's and Class Members' identities are now at risk because of Defendant's negligent conduct as the private information that Defendant collected and maintained is now in the hands of data thieves and other unauthorized third parties, the complaint adds.

FPPS-CALIFORNIA, LLC dba FIRST PLACE PEDIATRIC SOLUTIONS, LLC; and DOES 1 to 100, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 26STCV22930 (Super. Ct., Los Angeles Cty., Cal., July 21, 2026) is a class action seeking, among other things, unpaid wages and interest for all hours worked at minimum wage and all overtime hours worked. The complaint relates that the Plaintiff and similarly situated employees worked shifts long enough to entitle them to meal periods under California law. Nevertheless, Defendants employed policies, practices, and/or procedures that resulted in their failure to authorize or permit meal periods to Plaintiff and similarly situated employees of no less than 30 minutes for each five-hour period of work as required by law. Additionally, Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees a meal period premium wage of one additional hour of pay at their regular rate of compensation for each workday the employees did not receive all legally required and compliant meal periods. Finally, on occasions when Defendants paid Plaintiff and similarly situated employees a "premium" wage for late, missed, short, on-premise, on-duty, and/or interrupted meal periods, Defendants failed to pay the one additional hour of pay at Plaintiff's and similarly situated employees' regular rate of compensation. Specifically, Defendants maintained a policy, practice, and/or procedure of failing to include all remuneration including, but not limited to, "in service pay," for example, when calculating Plaintiff's and similarly situated employees' regular rate of pay for the purpose of paying meal period premium wages, it adds. This resulted in Plaintiff and similarly situated employees not being provided with all legally required and compliant meal periods and/or not receiving premium wages to compensate them for such instances, all in violation of California law, says the suit. The Plaintiff and others similarly situated seek injunctive relief to prohibit future unlawful conduct by Defendants and other equitable relief; reasonable attorneys' fees pursuant to Labor Code; costs; and interest brought on behalf of Plaintiff and others similarly situated.

Frontier Airlines, Inc., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03251 (D. Colo., July 20, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its failure to adequately secure its networks, systems, and data against foreseeable cyber threats. The complaint relates that Frontier has directly and indirectly collected highly sensitive personally identifiable information ("PII") from employees and customers, such as names, contact details, travel itineraries, payment card data, loyalty program information, and government-issued identification data required for air travel, and social security numbers ("Sensitive Private Information") from thousands of customers and employees. Plaintiff and Class Members were required to entrust Defendant with a vast array of such Sensitive Private Information. Despite its legal obligations to safeguard the Sensitive Private Information entrusted to it, Defendant implemented inadequate data security measures and allowed the information of thousands of customers and employees to be stolen by cybercriminals. In the first half of 2026, unauthorized actors gained access to Defendant's computer systems and acquired files containing Sensitive Private Information. As a result of the Data Breach, Plaintiff experienced the following injuries: suspicious communications, unauthorized attempts to access applications or accounts, fraudulent transactions or attempted transactions, fraudulent accounts opened or attempted to be opened in his name, fraudulent loans taken out or applied for in his name, an increase in spam communications, a negative impact on his credit score, says the suit. Through this lawsuit, Plaintiff seek to hold Defendant responsible for the injuries it inflicted on Plaintiff and thousands of similarly situated individuals due to its impermissibly inadequate data security measures, and to obtain injunctive relief requiring, among other things, the implementation of security measures sufficient to protect the Sensitive Private Information that remains in Defendant's custody and control. Plaintiff Jaquel Pitts is a current or former customer of Defendant.

GENERAL DYNAMICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC, a Virginia Corporation, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-02179 (E.D. Va., July 20, 2026) arises from the Defendant's willful violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, the Kentucky Wages and Hours Act, and common law. The complaint relates that prior to hiring prospective Representatives, including Plaintiff, Defendant provided them with a written offer setting forth the job title, the offered rate of pay, and the conditions of their employment. Defendant maintained documents demonstrating the promised hourly wage for each Representative, including offer letters, paystubs, and/or payroll records. According to the complaint, throughout their employment with Defendant, Plaintiff and other Representatives were required to work substantial amounts of uncompensated, off-the-clock time as part of their job duties. Defendant violated the FLSA and common law by systematically failing to compensate its Representatives for work tasks completed before their scheduled shifts, which resulted in Representatives not being paid for all overtime hours worked, overtime gap time when associated with unpaid overtime, and in non-overtime workweeks for regular hours. More specifically, Defendant failed to compensate its Representatives for the substantial time they spent performing essential work tasks prior to their scheduled shift start times each shift. The Plaintiff seeks a declaration that her rights, and the rights of the putative Collective and Class members, were violated, a judgment awarding them unpaid back wages, liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and costs to make them and the putative Collective and Class whole for damages they suffered, and any other remedies to which they are entitled, and to help ensure Defendant will not subject future workers to the same illegal conduct in the future.

GRUNS NUTRITION, INC., Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-08019 (C.D. Cal., July 22, 2026) is a class action for deceptive marketing practices of Defendant in its manufacture and sale of dietary supplement products labeled "Superfoods Greens Gummies" (hereinafter the "Product") and its false and deceptive advertisements claims about the purported nutritional benefits of taking the Product. Defendant Gruns Nutrition, Inc. is in the business of developing, manufacturing, packaging, promoting, advertising, and selling purported dietary supplement products under the brand name "Gruns." These dietary supplements include the individual product name "Superfoods Greens Gummies." Defendant markets and sells the Product through its own website and through third-party retailers including Target, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Sprouts. Plaintiff Esther Scott is a citizen and resident of the State of California who purchased two units of Defendant's Product from Sprouts Farmers Market in Studio City. The complaint relates that the Defendant prominently depicts through its packaging and advertisements that the Product provides comprehensive daily nutrition and will transform health by filling the nutrient gaps in consumers' nutrition. Prior to purchasing Defendant's Product, Plaintiff Scott reviewed the Product's labeling and relied on Defendant's representations that the Product was vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, contained 6 grams of fiber, and contained antioxidants, as well as the claims made by Defendant in its advertisements and marketing that the Product was backed up with reliable and valid scientific research. However, the Defendant's representations regarding the efficacy and health benefits of the Product on its labels, webpages and other marketing and advertising media and materials is purposely deceptive to create a competitive advantage against compliant competitors, says the complaint. The Defendant's false, misleading, and deceptive advertising and marketing practices to increase its profits was intended to induce reliance, and Plaintiff and those similarly situated relied on these to their detriment. Had Plaintiff and those similarly situated been adequately informed and not intentionally deceived by Defendant through Defendant's false representations and omissions, they would have acted differently by, without limitation, refraining from purchasing the Product or paying less for it, says the suit. The Plaintiff alleges violations of California's False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and also brings claims for breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, common law fraud, and unjust enrichment.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Robert Mackey, Esq.

GUARDIAN INDUSTRIES, LLC, Case No. 1:24-cv-00853-KES-SAB (E.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Boone entered an order granting the Defendant's motion to strike the Plaintiff's putative class declarants. In sum, the Court finds that the Lanard factors weigh in favor of exclusion. Although there is no clear evidence of bad faith and the likelihood of trial disruption is neutral, Defendant was prejudiced by Plaintiff's untimely disclosures and that prejudice is not readily curable given the close of discovery. On balance, the Plaintiff has not met his burden of showing that the failure to comply with Rule 26 was substantially justified or harmless. Accordingly, the Court finds that exclusion under Rule 37(c)(1) is warranted. On May 18, 2026, the Plaintiff submitted declarations from fifteen putative class members in support of his motion for class certification. The Defendant moves to strike these declarations under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26 and 37, and the Court’s scheduling order, arguing that Plaintiff failed to timely disclose the declarants as individuals with discoverable information prior to the close of discovery. Guardian Industries manufactures and fabricates glass products for diverse applications.

HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH, INC., Defendant, Case No. BER-L-007028-26 (N.J. Super., Bergen Cty., July 23, 2026) seeks to stop Defendant's alleged unlawful disclosure of Plaintiff and other patients' confidential personally identifiable information and protected health information and seeks redress for all those who have been harmed by Defendant's misconduct under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The Plaintiff brings this action to address Defendant's transmission and disclosure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' confidential personally identifiable information and protected health information to Adobe via tracking pixels installed on Defendant's website. The Plaintiff and other Class Members who used Defendant's Find a Doctor tool thought they were communicating only with their trusted healthcare provider.

The Plaintiff and Class Members have suffered injury as a result of Defendant's conduct. These injuries include: (i) invasion of privacy, (ii) loss of benefit of the bargain, (iii) diminution or deprivation of value of the private information, (iv) statutory damages, and (v) the continued and ongoing risk of exposure of their private information.

Ct., Los Angeles Cty., Cal., July 21, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 ("PAGA").

Because of Defendants' knowing failure to comply with the Labor Code and applicable Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders, Plaintiff and the Aggrieved Employees have also suffered an injury in that they were prevented from knowing, understanding, and disputing the wage payments paid to them, says the suit. The Plaintiff seeks an award of civil penalties, on her behalf, the State of California, and similarly Aggrieved Employees of Defendants.

Iris USA, Inc., Defendant, Civil Action No. 25-6035 (E.D. Pa.), Judge Cynthia M. Rufe of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted in part and denied in part the Defendant's motion to dismiss. Plaintiff filed this proposed class action alleging that Defendant produced and marketed a defectively designed and manufactured pet food container. All versions of the containers shared the same form of locking mechanism. Iris advertised the containers as safer for pets and represented the latching mechanism as designed to Keep Paws Out. In July 2025, Plaintiff's kitten opened the lid, despite it being properly locked, and subsequently was trapped in the container and suffocated when the lid dropped down and automatically locked. Upon careful examination, the downward-facing latching mechanism was capable of being opened by a pet who may be attracted to pet food stored inside. The containers were designed to be airtight, which could cause suffocation of a trapped pet. Plaintiff alleged that several other purchasers suffered pet deaths from the containers. Plaintiff asserted claims under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (Count I), common law fraud (Count II), and negligent misrepresentation (Count III). Iris moved to dismiss these counts for failure to state a claim. According to the Court, Count II and Count I were subject to Rule 9(b) heightened pleading requirements. It found Plaintiff failed to meet this standard because the Complaint did not specify who made the representations or when, where, or how these representations were made. The Complaint did not identify the medium in which they were made or otherwise inject precision into the allegation. Without pleading this basic who, what, when, where, and how information about the alleged fraud, Plaintiff failed to meet the heightened Rule 9(b) standard. Therefore, the Court granted the motion to dismiss Count I and Count II. Regarding Count III, the Court evaluated the negligent misrepresentation claim under Rule 8 standard notice pleading requirements. It found specific statements, including that the containers were safer for pets and would Keep Paws Out, were capable of falsification and were not mere puffery. The latch was identified as a specific product attribute that either did or did not keep pets out. Based on the allegations, Plaintiff adequately alleged a misrepresentation of material fact and sufficiently stated a claim. Accordingly, the Motion to Dismiss was granted as to Counts I and II and denied as to Count III. The Court dismissed as moot claims for emotional distress or consortium-related damages.

BOMBARDIER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff  v.  LIBERTY SOLUTIONS, INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-01491 (W.D.N.Y., July 22, 2026) arises out of Defendant Liberty Solutions' failure to properly secure, safeguard, and control access to Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive personal and protected health information that Defendant obtained and maintained in connection with the administrative and technical support services it provides to Centra Health, a healthcare provider, which resulted in a data breach. According to the notice of data breach letter sent by Defendant, the Defendant learned of the incident on March 17, 2026. Despite learning of the data breach and determining that private information was involved, the Defendant did not begin sending notices of the data breach until May 22, more than two months later. The data breach arose from what Defendant refers to as an incident in which a contractor posted a file containing patient information on an online third-party developer platform. Rather than implementing reasonable safeguards to protect the highly sensitive private information entrusted to it, the Defendant left Plaintiff's and Class members' private information publicly exposed on the platform for approximately eighteen months, says the suit. Accordingly, the Plaintiff brings this action against Defendant seeking redress for its unlawful conduct, and asserting claims for: (i) negligence, (ii) negligence per se, (iii) breach of implied contract, (iv) unjust enrichment, and (v) declaratory relief. The Plaintiff seeks remedies including, but not limited to, compensatory damages, reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs, and injunctive relief including improvements to Defendant's data security systems, future annual audits, as well as long-term and adequate credit monitoring services funded by Defendant, and declaratory relief. Liberty Solutions, Inc., founded in 2002, is a healthcare IT consulting firm that provides EHR implementation, optimization, and support services, including administrative and technical support, to healthcare organizations.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Gary E.

LIFESPAN PHYSICIAN GROUP OF MASSACHUSETTS, INC. d/b/a BROWN HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP-MA, Defendant, Case No. _________ (Mass. Super., Suffolk Cty., July 22, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its alleged failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' personally identifiable information and protected health information, resulting in a data breach. On July 16, 2026, the Defendant reported a data breach to the Office of the Vermont Attorney General in which Social Security numbers, financial account codes, credit and debit account info, government ID numbers, and health records (collectively, "Private Information") were reportedly breached on an undisclosed date. The private information compromised in the data breach contains highly sensitive patient data, representing a gold mine for data thieves. As such, the risk of identity theft and fraud will remain for Plaintiffs and Class Members' respective lifetimes, says the suit. The complaint alleges that Plaintiff and Class Members have suffered and are at an imminent, immediate, and continuing increased risk of suffering, ascertainable losses in the form of harm from identity theft and other fraudulent misuse of their private information, the loss of the benefit of their bargain, and potential out-of-pocket expenses to remedy or mitigate the effects of the data breach.

On December 16, 2025, Brown Health became aware of a data security incident affecting a file server on its network. Brown Health has confirmed that an unauthorized actor gained access to that server between December 15 and December 16, 2025. The files on that server contained the private information of Plaintiff and the proposed Class, and that information was accessed and may have been acquired by the unauthorized actor, the suit says. The Plaintiff asserts that the data breach was a direct and foreseeable result of Brown Health's failure to implement and maintain reasonable data-security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information it collected and stored, and consistent with well-established standards applicable to healthcare providers. As a result of the Data Breach, Plaintiff and members of the proposed Class have suffered injury, including the compromise and misuse of their private information, an imminent and substantial risk of identity theft and fraud, the loss of the benefit of their bargain, the diminution in value of their private information, and the lost time and expense of responding to the breach.

LIFESPAN PHYSICIAN GROUP OF MASSACHUSETTS, INC. d/b/a BROWN HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP-MA Defendant, Case No. ___________ (Mass. Super., Suffolk Cty., July 24, 2026) is a class action lawsuit against Defendant for its negligent failure to protect and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' highly sensitive personally identifiable information and protected health information, culminating in a massive and preventable data breach. On December 16, 2025, the Defendant became aware that between December 15 and 16, 2025, unauthorized cybercriminals gained access to Defendant's inadequately protected computer system and Plaintiff's and the Class Member's private information stored thereon. In providing their private information to Defendant, the Plaintiff and the Class Members reasonably expected this sophisticated business entity to keep their private information confidential and secured from unauthorized disclosures, to use this information for business purposes only, and to disclose it only as authorized. The Defendant failed to do so, resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of Plaintiffs and Class Members' private information in the breach. 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 this Court deems just and proper.

Judge Vyskocil entered an order denying the Defendants' motion to compel arbitration and stay this case. The Clerk of Court is requested to terminate the motion pending at docket entry 24. Because the Trade Agreement does not reflect a clear and unmistakable agreement to arbitrate Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and New York Labor Law ("NYLL") claims, the motion to compel arbitration is denied. The Plaintiff purports to bring his FLSA claim on behalf of himself and "All current and former Non-Exempt Workers employed by Manhattan Painting between August 8, 2022 and the data of final judgment in this matter, who elect to opt-in to this action."

META PLATFORMS, INC.; and META PLATFORMS IRELAND LIMITED, Defendants, Case No. 5:26-cv-07644 (N.D. Cal., July 23, 2026) alleges Defendants' violations of the California's Unfair Competition Law, and the Consumers Legal Remedies Act. The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants is engaged in the practice of accepting advertisers' payments to distribute sponsored posts while simultaneously undermining the distribution of those same posts, by either removing paid posts on pretextual grounds unsupported by any bona fide violation of Meta's own content rules, and by suppressing the delivered reach of the advertiser's paid content (referred to herein as "reach suppression"), so that the advertiser receives only a fraction of the audience it purchased. In so doing, Meta violated its own contractual terms, its implied by law duty of good faith and fair dealing, and California's Unfair Competition Law. On April 19, 2025, Meta US removed two of Plaintiff's sponsored posts. The first was a video documenting a lawful, peaceful protest outside a hotel resort, in which demonstrators held banners reading "Close [the] Dolphin Prison" and told passing motorists "A Day of Fun for You; A Lifetime of Misery for Them" -- without ever identifying which of Meta's Community Standards the video purportedly violated, says the suit.

MICROVAST HOLDINGS, INC., YANG WU, FARIYAL KHANBABI, CARL T. SCHULTZ, and RODNEY WORTHEN, Defendants, Case No. 4:26-cv-05804 (S.D. Tex., July 21, 2026) is a federal securities class action against the Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Microvast securities between April 1, 2025 and March 16, 2026, seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendant Microvast designs, develops, and manufactures "advanced specialized battery technologies", primarily for use in electric commercial vehicles and energy storage systems ("ESS"). The complaint relates that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) due to, inter alia, inventory management issues and delays in commercial vehicle rollouts by Microvast's customers, Defendants had overstated Microvast's ability to reach its margin targets; (ii) Defendants overstated Microvast's ability to complete the Huzhou Phase 3.2 expansion by the end of 2025; and (iii) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading. As a result of Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages. Had Plaintiff and the other members of the Class known the truth, they would not have purchased or otherwise acquired said securities, or would not have purchased or otherwise acquired them at the inflated prices that were paid, says the suit. Plaintiff Leah Graham acquired Microvast securities at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period and was damaged upon the revelation of the alleged corrective disclosures. Defendants Wu, Khanbabi, Schultz, and Worthen are collectively referred to as the Individual Defendants who possessed the power and authority to control the contents of Microvast's SEC filings, press releases, and other market communications.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Jeremy A.

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION, JAMES A. SQUIRES, ALAN H. SHAW, and CYNTHIA M. SANBORN, Case No. 1:23-cv-04175-SDG (N.D. Ga.), the Defendants ask the Court for an Order granting motion for leave to file sur-reply in further opposition to the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification. Lead Plaintiffs' litigation strategy is to hide the ball in their opening brief so that they can ambush Defendants on reply. Knowing that price impact would be the main issue in dispute, they nevertheless declined to address the issue in their opening brief, the Defendants contend. Without a sur-reply, the Court will not have a full record on which to base its price impact analysis. Given the arguments that Lead Plaintiffs and their expert make for the first time on reply, there is a "valid reason" for allowing the Defendants' sur-reply under the circumstances, and a sur-reply will aid in the Court's determination of class certification, the Defendants aver.

PARKVIEW HEALTH SYSTEM, INC., D/B/A PARKVIEW HEALTH, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-00337 (N.D. Ind., July 21, 2026) is a class action seeking redress for Defendant’s violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA") and the Indiana Wage Payment Statute ("IWPS"). The complaint relates that throughout her tenure working for Defendant as a patient care technician, Plaintiff Milligan was classified as a non-exempt employee by Defendant and paid on an hourly basis. Plaintiff Milligan was a full-time employee and, and worked 12 hour shifts three times a week as well as worked on weekend days. Her shifts were often scheduled to begin at 6:00 am and end at 6:30 pm during the week. Plaintiff Milligan clocked in and out each day to keep track of her time worked as required by Defendant. The Plaintiff and members of the FLSA Collective and the State Law Class regularly worked more than 40 hours in a single workweek and/or more than eight hours in a single work day or 80 hours in a two-workweek period. Although Defendant suffered and permitted Plaintiff and members of the FLSA Collective and the State Law Class to work non-overtime hours, and overtime hours, Defendant failed to pay Plaintiff and members of the FLSA Collective and the State Law Class overtime at a rate of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for those overtimes hours. Non-FLSA Collective and the State Law Class were willfully not properly paid overtime compensation for their overtime hours worked as required by the FLSA, and overtime and non-overtime hours promptly as required by the IWPS, asserts the complaint. The Plaintiff, on her own behalf and on behalf of the FLSA Collective and the State Law Class, seeks compensatory, statutory, exemplary, and punitive damages, declarative and injunctive relief, as well as attorneys' fees, costs, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and appropriate.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, et al., Defendants, Civil No. 1:25-CV-00048 (M.D. Pa.), Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania denied a pro se motion to intervene filed by Bryan Perez-Rivera, a non-party inmate seeking to join as a class representative. The case challenges the constitutionality of prolonged solitary confinement of mentally ill inmates, alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. The six plaintiffs initiated the case in March 2024 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania as a single cause of action. The case was divided into three separate actions and, after transfer to the Middle District, again consolidated for discovery and pretrial motions. This is a putative class action in which the plaintiffs seek relief for themselves and other similarly situated individuals in solitary confinement in the Department of Corrections. The five plaintiffs seek to become representative plaintiffs of putative classes not yet certified by the Court. Perez-Rivera stated that although he had no preexisting mental health diagnoses prior to his incarceration twenty years ago, his decades of exposure to solitary confinement, classified by the plaintiffs as SL5 housing, led to a deterioration of his mental health. He is now diagnosed with several mental illnesses and classified as a D Roster inmate on the PA DOC Mental Health and Intellectual Disability roster. He is housed at SCI-Rockview and was previously incarcerated at SCI-Phoenix. Perez-Rivera sought to be joined under Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which authorizes intervention as a right or permissive intervention. Intervention as a right requires a timely application, a sufficient interest in the litigation, a threat of impairment to that interest, and inadequate representation by existing parties. Permissive intervention requires a timely motion, common questions of law or fact, and no undue delay or prejudice. The Court found that Perez-Rivera's pleading did not explain why he should be joined as a representative plaintiff, and that his interests were already adequately represented, since the five plaintiffs seek to certify classes including Roster D inmates subjected to prolonged solitary confinement, like Perez-Rivera. He alleged no collusion between parties and no indication that the representatives had not been diligent. Adding him as a representative plaintiff at this stage, the Court held, would cause undue delay and prejudice given the circuitous procedural path the case has already taken. The Court denied the motion to intervene and instructed plaintiffs' counsel to advise Perez-Rivera whether he would be an appropriate class member following certification. The case remains a putative, uncertified class action. A copy of the Court's decision is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=1BPCyL from PacerMonitor.com PHASE 2 CELLARS: Sanchez Files Suit in Cal.

PROG SERVICES, INC. d/b/a MONEY APP, Case No. 2:25-cv-01026-TS-DBP (D. Utah), the Hon. Judge Pead entered an order granting the Defendant's motion to stay discovery and denying the Plaintiff's amended motion to compel. The court finds that a stay will impact the Plaintiff's class certification motion with an Aug. 26, 2026, deadline and the close of fact discovery following thereafter. This could prejudice Plaintiff. However, the court finds that this prejudice will be minimal if those deadlines are moved. Moving those deadlines is warranted here given the large number of potential plaintiffs, the nature of the requested discovery, and the impact the Motion to Compel Arbitration may have on streamlining this case. A short delay is especially non-concerning in view of the lengthy time this case has been percolating and will take to litigate, the Court says. This is a putative class action brought by Plaintiff that seeks to "protect active-duty military servicemembers from Money App's predatory lending practices that violate the Military Lending Act ("MLA") and the Truth in Lending Act ("TILA")." On June 17, 2026, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Compel Discovery that the court denied because Plaintiff failed to comply with the Local Rules and provided none of the disputed discovery requests The Defendant is the corporate entity operating Money App, an Earned Wage Access (EWA) and cash advance mobile application.

RADIA INC., P.S., Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-02577 (W.D. Wash., July 21, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant Radia for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated individuals ("Class Members") personally identifying information. According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, Defendant Radia maintained the Private Information of the Plaintiff and Class Members in a negligent and/or reckless manner. In particular, the Private Information was maintained on Radia's computer system and network in a condition vulnerable to cyberattacks. Upon information and belief, the mechanism of the cyberattack and potential for improper disclosure of the Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was a known risk to Defendant, and thus Defendant was on notice that failing to take steps necessary to secure the Private Information from those risks left that property in a dangerous condition. The Defendant disregarded the rights of the Plaintiff and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and/or negligently failing to implement adequate and reasonable measures to ensure that Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was safeguarded, failing to take available steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of data and failing to follow applicable, required and appropriate protocols, policies, and procedures regarding the encryption of data, even for internal use, says the suit.

Cal., July 23, 2026) is a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act to recover unpaid minimum wages and overtime hours owed to Plaintiff and similarly situated delivery drivers employed by Defendant at their pizza delivery stores. According to the complaint, the Defendant employs delivery drivers who use their own automobiles to deliver pizza and other food items to their customers. However, instead of reimbursing delivery drivers for the reasonably approximate costs of the business use of their vehicles, the Defendant uses a flawed method to determine reimbursement rates that provides such an unreasonably low rate beneath any reasonable approximation of the expenses they incur that the drivers' unreimbursed expenses cause their wages to fall below the federal minimum wage during some or all workweeks, says the suit. The Plaintiff and Class Members are Defendant's current and former delivery drivers.

SPICE ALLIANCE, LLC d/b/a BEANILLA, Case No. 2:26-cv-00511-BHL (E.D. Wis.), the Hon. Judge Brett H. Ludwig entered an order that, on or before Aug. 6, 2026, the Plaintiff must request entry of default and move for default judgment, or take other steps to move the case forward. Failure to comply will result in dismissal for lack of prosecution pursuant to Civil Local Rule 41(c). The Court further orders that Morris's expedited motion to certify class is denied without prejudice. On April 28, 2026, Morris filed proof that he had served the defendant. To date, however, the defendant has not appeared or otherwise answered the complaint, and Morris has not requested the clerk's entry of default or moved for a default judgment. The Court says that Morris's motion is not yet ripe (especially given the defendant's failure to appear) and will therefore be denied without prejudice. On March 29, 2026, the Plaintiff filed a complaint against the Defendant, alleging that the defendant's website failed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

SFA requests a two-week extension of time from the current deadline to file its response to the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification on or before Aug. 5, 2026. This is the first extension of time sought by SFA regarding this deadline.

STUDIO MCGEE: Monitors Web Users' Browsing Habits, Davidson Says ---------------------------------------------------------------- RYAN DAVIDSON, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. STUDIO MCGEE DESIGN LLC, a Utah limited liability company; and DOES 1-10, inclusive, Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-07966 (C.D. Cal., July 21, 2026) is a class action for the Defendants' violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act and common law fraud seeking to obtain compensation for alleged misconduct, to enjoin their fraudulent representations and practices, and for disgorgement of data unlawfully obtained. According to the complaint, when consumers visit Defendant Studio McGee Design's website at https://www.mcgeeandco.com the Defendant displays a consent banner that provides every visitor, including Plaintiff, a choice as to whether they agree to be tracked by cookies and similar technologies such as Meta. However, even if a visitor elects not to be tracked, and in spite of its representations in the consent banner, the Defendant allows both tracking technologies to be installed on visitor's computer, including data mining scripts from registered data brokers. The data broker software adds small data files to computers visiting the website so that Defendant can monitor visitor's browsing habits. The complaint says the Plaintiff did not consent to having their computer accessed and used in this manner. Even though Defendant affirmatively represents that users could browse the website without being tracked, followed, or targeted by third-party data broker (let alone by having their computer accessed and used for the purpose of commercial surveillance), those representations are false. Due to the nature of Defendant's misrepresentation, consent cannot be provided as a matter of law, the suit alleges.

TAYLOR FRESH FOODS, INC. d/b/a TAYLOR FARMS, and TACO BELL CORP., Defendants, Case No. 8:26-cv-01943 (C.D. Cal., July 21, 2026) arises from the sale of iceberg lettuce that was adulterated, unfit for human consumption, and worthless at the point of sale. Defendant Taylor Fresh Foods, Inc. d/b/a Taylor Farms is one of the largest producers of fresh lettuce and cut vegetables in the United States. Defendant Taco Bell Corp. operates and franchises quick-service restaurants throughout the United States and, during the Class Period, sold food containing iceberg lettuce that Taylor Farms supplied. The complaint relates that in 2026, federal public-health authorities linked a nationwide outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection, to iceberg lettuce that Taylor Farms produced and supplied. The Plaintiff purchased and paid for three Cheesy Bean and Rice Burritos (with added iceberg lettuce) and one Mini Taco Salad at the Taco Bell located at 500 Washington Street, Ravenswood, West Virginia 26164. Plaintiff would not have purchased the products, or would not have paid the price he paid, had he known the lettuce was contaminated and could not lawfully be sold for human consumption. Consumers who purchased food containing that lettuce paid for a wholesome, merchantable product and received an adulterated one, the complaint asserts. Plaintiff suffered economic injury as a direct and proximate result of Defendants' conduct. Accordingly, the Plaintiff seeks to recover, on behalf of himself and a class of purchasers, the money they paid for products they would not have purchased, or would have paid less for, had Defendants disclosed that the lettuce was contaminated and could not lawfully be sold. Plaintiff Lawrence Null is a citizen of the State of West Virginia who purchased the products at issue.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Jason M. Ingber, Esq.

TEAM HEALTH HOLDINGS, INC., AMERITEAM SERVICES, LLC, and HCFS HEALTH CARE FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC, Case No. 3:22-cv-00420-DCLC-DCP (E.D. Tenn.), the Defendants ask the Court to enter an order extending the page limitation for the Defendants' upcoming response brief in opposition to class certification. Accordingly, the Defendants move the Court for entry of an Order extending the page limitation for Defendants' response brief to 50 pages. The Plaintiff consents to such Motion and requests that the page limitation for its reply brief be extended to 35 pages. Given the extensive Phase 1 fact and expert discovery record in this case, together with the legal requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a) and (b)(3), good cause exists for a 10-page increase in the page limitation for Defendants' response brief in opposition to class certification and a 10-page increase in the page limitation for the County's reply brief in support of class certification. Extending the page limitations will enable comprehensive briefing of the class certification question, which will in turn aid the Court in conducting a "rigorous analysis" of the same.

TEASDALE FOODS, INC., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-2429 (N.D. Tex., July 22, 2026) is a class action pursuant to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the federal Portal-to-Portal Pay Act (collectively "FLSA") for Defendant's failure to timely pay all overtime wages owed. Defendant Teasdale Foods, Inc. is a food producer in Texas. Plaintiff Clifton Feltenberger has been employed by Defendants and worked in Defendant's production operations at 2115 East Beltline Road, Carrolton, Dallas County, Texas 75006. He was employed by Defendant as a production worker and regularly operated a forklift for Defendant's Production Facility typically moving finished food-related goods from production to their respective locations to be dry stored, frozen, or refrigerated. The Defendant violated the FLSA because it did not pay the putative collective action members time and one-half their respective regular rates of pay for all hours worked over 40 per seven-day workweek, says the suit. Defendant also did not pay Plaintiff for a daily 30 minute meal break. The complaint relates that the Defendant's other hourly paid production employees who worked for Defendant at the Production Facility were subject to the same time keeping unpaid overtime wage practice, policy, and/or procedure as Plaintiff. Accordingly, the Plaintiff seeks all damages available under the FLSA, including unpaid overtime wages, liquidated damages, reasonable legal fees, costs, and post-judgment interest.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Allen R.

TOWER ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES, INC., Defendant, Case No. 5:26-cv-05124 (E.D. Pa., July 22, 2026) is an action against the Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard the Plaintiff's and other similarly situated individuals ("Class Members") personally identifying information, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and financial account information (collectively "PII" or "Private Information"). The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant maintained the PII of the Plaintiff and Class Members in a negligent and reckless manner. In particular, the PII was maintained on Tower's computer system and network in a condition vulnerable to cyberattacks. The mechanism of the cyberattack and potential for improper disclosure of the Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII was a known risk to the Defendant, and thus Defendant was on notice that failing to take steps necessary to secure the PII from those risks left that property in a dangerous condition. The Defendant disregarded the rights of the Plaintiff and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and negligently failing to implement adequate and reasonable measures to ensure that Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII was safeguarded, failing to take available steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of data and failing to follow applicable, required and appropriate protocols, policies, and procedures regarding the encryption of data, even for internal use, asserts the suit.

UNITED NETWORK FOR ORGAN SHARING; and SWEDISH HEALTH SERVICES D/B/A SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER, Defendants, Case No. 2:26-cv-02564 (W.D. Wash., July 21, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for breach of fiduciary duties arising from their engagement in racial discrimination. Defendant United Network for Organ Sharing ("UNOS") is a private, non-profit organization which operates the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network ("OPTN"). Defendant Swedish Health Services d/b/a Swedish Medical Center ("Swedish") serves as gatekeepers to patients seeking to be placed on the national kidney waitlist. Plaintiff Saundra Haddix-Hamilton is one of Swedish's Black kidney disease patients that was harmed by UNOS's and Swedish's use of the race-based coefficient, the complaint relates. By May 17, 2012, Ms. Haddix-Hamilton's kidney disease progressed to the point where, absent the race-based coefficient, she would have qualified to be added to the national kidney waitlist and accrue wait time. But in reality, because Ms. Haddix-Hamilton is Black, her kidney function score was adjusted, and Swedish did not refer her to its transplant program or register her on the waitlist. It was more than six years -- July 25, 2018 -- before Swedish registered Ms. Haddix-Hamilton on the kidney waitlist. During that time, Ms. Haddix-Hamilton was deprived of the ability to be considered for donor kidneys. Today, with more than 16 years of qualifying wait time, Ms. Haddix-Hamilton is still waiting for a donor kidney. She has been on dialysis for more than six years. Because Ms. Haddix-Hamilton has waited so long, and because kidney disease and dialysis is taxing on the body, Ms. Haddix-Hamilton's health deteriorated to the point she is marked as inactive on the kidney waitlist, no longer healthy enough to undergo a transplant surgery. Most recently, Ms. Haddix-Hamilton suffered from a stroke and underwent heart surgery. She has been forced to move from Washington to Michigan to live with family that can assist with her medical care. Ms. Haddix-Hamilton is quite literally fighting for her life because of UNOS's and Swedish's intentional, race-based discrimination. UNOS is responsible for enacting policy that determines which patients receive which donor kidneys, notes the complaint. In this regard, UNOS offers as one of its strategic goals to "[p]rovide equity in access to transplants[.]" However, UNOS has fallen far short of its stated goal, the complaint says. Swedish breached its fiduciary duty to Ms. Haddix-Hamilton by engaging in racial discrimination against her, the complaint asserts. Swedish also failed to inform Ms. Haddix-Hamilton of its practice of using the race-based coefficient such that she could demand race neutral treatment either at Swedish or another hospital. The damages resulting from the breaches of fiduciary duty include depriving and/or delaying her award of a donor kidney. This discrimination also caused Ms. Haddix-Hamilton to incur economic injuries, including but not limited to, continued medical costs such as dialysis and lost wages. The racial discrimination caused additional damages including pain and suffering and severe emotional distress, says the suit. The Plaintiff seeks to establish that UNOS and Swedish are liable for damages caused to Black patients by application of the race-based coefficient. The Plaintiff and other members of the class seek to recover damages in compensation for their injuries.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Matthew Venezia, Esq. George Laiolo, Esq.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC., Case No. 1:23-cv-00477-GPG-NRN (D. Colo.), the Defendant asks the Court to enter an order granting its motion to strike and exclude paragraphs six and seven of the declaration of Ben Lebsack in support of the Plaintiff's motion for Rule 23 class certification. The opinions and conclusions set forth in the Lebsack Declaration, specifically paragraphs six and seven, constitute inadmissible expert testimony because Lebsack was never disclosed as an expert, he lacks expert qualifications, and his opinions are not based on reliable principles and methods. Moreover, even if the testimony could somehow constitute "lay" testimony, it should still be excluded because it violates the rules of professional conduct and fails to satisfy basic evidentiary standards. Accordingly, UPS's motion to exclude should be granted, the Defendant contends. United is an American multinational shipping & receiving and supply chain management company.

All other relief sought by Plaintiffs but not addressed in this order is held in abeyance pending the Court's issuance of its full memorandum of decision on the Preliminary Injunction and the Plaintiffs' Renewed Motion for Class Certification. The Court finds that Plaintiffs have demonstrated they are likely to prevail—or at the least, raise serious questions—on the merits of their Fifth Amendment and Rehabilitation Act claims; that they will suffer irreparable harm if the Court does not issue preliminary injunctive relief; that the balance of equities tips strongly in their favor; and that the public interest lies in issuing a preliminary injunction. ICE enforces federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CENTER, Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-00532-HTW-LGI (S.D. Miss., July 21, 2026) is an action against the Defendant for its failure to secure and safeguard hundreds of thousands of individuals' personally identifiable information ("PII") and personal health information ("PHI") (collectively, "Private Information"). The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Data Breach was a direct result of the Defendant's failure to implement adequate and reasonable cybersecurity procedures and protocols necessary to protect individuals' PII and PHI from the foreseeable thread of a cyberattack. By taking possession and control of the Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information for its own pecuniary benefit, the Defendant assumed a duty to the Plaintiff and Class Members to implement and maintain reasonable and adequate security measures to secure, protect, and safeguard the Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information against unauthorized access and disclosure. As a result of the Defendant's inadequate security and breach of its duties and obligations, the Data Breach occurred, and the Plaintiff and Class Members suffered injury and losses, says the suit. The University of Mississippi Medical Center Research Development Foundation operates as a non-profit health care organization. The Hospital offers alzheimer's and brain health, arthritis and rheumatology, behavioral care, fertility, pain management, dermatology, physical therapy, rehabilitation, plastic surgery, and nutrition services.

UNLIMITED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-00712-MWM (S.D. Ohio, July 22, 2026) is an action arising from the Defendant's failure to protect highly sensitive data. According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, the Defendant stores a litany of highly sensitive personal identifiable information ("PII") and protected health information ("PHI")—together "PII/PHI"—about its current and former patients. But the Defendant lost control over that data when cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently protected computer systems in a data breach (the "Data Breach"). Cybercriminals were able to breach the 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's PII/PHI. In short, Defendant's failures placed the Class's PII/PHI in a vulnerable position—rendering them easy targets for cybercriminals, alleges the suit.

UNLIMITED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-00721-DRC (S.D. Ohio, July 23, 2026) is a class action lawsuit on behalf of the Plaintiff and all persons who indirectly entrusted Defendant with sensitive personally identifiable information and protected health information that was impacted in a data breach. On October 19, 2025, the Defendant discovered unauthorized activity within its commercial datacenter. The Defendant launched an investigation with the assistance of a cybersecurity forensics firm, and determined that an unauthorized actor obtained private information from Defendant's network and systems between October 5 and October 10, 2025. The Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit to address Defendant's inadequate safeguarding of Class Members' private information that it maintained on behalf of Plaintiff and Class Members, and its failure to provide timely and adequate notice to Plaintiff and Class Members of the breach and the types of information unlawfully accessed.

UTECH SOLUTIONS, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 4:26-cv-492-BJB (W.D. Ky., July 21, 2026) is a statewide class action seeking recovery of illegal gambling losses by Kentucky residents who played Utech's illegal online gambling games. Defendant Utech Solutions, LLC ("Utech") is a game developer that has created online games that simulate slot machines and other gambling games available to the public in Kentucky on multiple websites, including Jackpot Rabbit, Sweep Shark, Scarlet Sands, Mr. Goodwin, VegasWay, Playtana, Sweepico, DexyPlay, and FireSevens. Plaintiff Andrew Jay Iracane created accounts on both the Jackpot Rabbit and Sweep Shark sites. The complaint relates that Utech's minimum contacts with the state of Kentucky include ongoing contractual relationships created by the terms and conditions on Defendant's website, sorceryreels.com. Defendant required Plaintiff and all other Kentucky customers to agree to these terms. Defendant's contacts with Kentucky also include direct solicitations and other communications, instituted by the company, with customers in Kentucky. These include in-game messages and advertisements sent to players, emails, social media advertisements, and other forms of communications. Further, social and sweeps casino companies specifically target individuals who spend money on the websites, including by sending them direct, targeted advertisements to play the game, purchase coins, or participate in particular features of the games. Defendant's contacts with Kentucky also include the payment of redemptions to people that win on their illegal gambling games. Each of the sites at issue pay out such redemptions to customers, sending the money to customers' bank accounts in Kentucky. The Plaintiff purchased a package containing both gold coins and sweeps coins. He lost more than five dollars worth of sweeps coins in a 24-hour period. Defendant's games have gravely harmed Plaintiff, the Class and the State of Kentucky. Utech's games are illegal under Kentucky law because players can risk something of value (the sweeps coins) on the outcome of a game of chance in the hope that they will receive something of value (real money) in return, says the suit. The Plaintiff seeks, on his own behalf, and on behalf of all similarly situated Kentucky residents: (1) a determination that Utech's games violate federal law, and that Utech's online terms of service setting out the terms and conditions under which the illegal gambling is conducted are therefore unenforceable in federal court; (2) a determination that the online terms of service and the arbitration provision contained therein are each unenforceable and void; (3) recovery under Kentucky's gambling loss recovery act.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Christopher L.

UVNV, LLC; and DOES 1-10, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 2:26-cv-08025 (C.D. Cal., July 22, 2026) alleges violation of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act. According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, when consumers visit Defendant UVNV, LLC's website at https://www.ultramobile.com/ the Defendant displays a consent banner that provides every visitor, including the Plaintiff, a choice as to whether they agree to be tracked by "cookies and tracking" such as LiveRamp and Meta. However, even if a visitor elects not to be tracked, the Defendant allows both tracking technologies to be installed on visitor's computer, including data mining scripts from registered data brokers (the "Data Broker Software"). The Plaintiff did not consent to having their computer accessed and used in this manner. In fact, the Plaintiff did the opposite and opted out of tracking by any means. Even though the Defendant affirmatively represents that users could browse the Website without being tracked, followed, or targeted by third-party data broker let alone by having their computer accessed and used for the purpose of commercial surveillance, those representations are false, alleges the suit.

VIRTA HEALTH: Fails to Protect Personal, Health Info, Givony Says ----------------------------------------------------------------- ARIEL GIVONY, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. VIRTA HEALTH CORP., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03291 (D. Colo., July 21, 2026) is a class action against Virta for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated Virta patients' personally identifiable information and protected health information from criminal hackers. On May 23, 2026, Virta filed official notice of a hacking incident with the Office of the California Attorney General. On July 10, Virta also sent out data breach letters to individuals whose information was compromised as a result of the hacking incident. The Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit to address Virta's inadequate safeguarding of Class Members' private information that it collected and maintained, and its failure to provide timely and adequate notice to Plaintiff and Class Members of the types of information that were accessed, and that such information was subject to unauthorized access by cybercriminals. The Plaintiff's and Class Members' identities are now at risk because of Virta's negligent conduct as the private information that Virta collected and maintained is now in the hands of data thieves and other unauthorized third parties. The Plaintiff seeks to remedy these harms on behalf of himself and all similarly situated individuals whose private information was accessed and/or compromised during the data breach.

VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC., a New Jersey corporation, and VOLKSWAGEN AG, a German corporation, Defendants, Case No. 2:26-cv-09077 (D.N.J., July 21, 2026) is a class action for the benefit and protection of purchasers and lessees of 2021–2023 model year Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport vehicles. The complaint relates that the Class Vehicles are defective and unsafe. The Vehicles have a defect involving premature failure of their LED daytime running lights ("DRLs"). The DRLs are an important safety feature that studies show decrease the frequency of opposite-direction crashes. The Plaintiffs and Class Members have experienced the failure of the DRLs on one or both sides of their Class Vehicles, often when the Vehicles reach approximately 50,000 miles. Instead of traditional bulbs, the DRLs equipped in the Class Vehicles are LED strips that are integrated into the headlight housing. Unlike traditional bulbs, these strips cannot be individually replaced; replacing them requires replacing the entire headlight assembly. As Volkswagen's standard New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers vehicles for four-years/50,000 miles, this failure often occurs right as the Vehicle comes out of warranty. Even when the Vehicles are still under warranty, Plaintiffs and Class members have experienced dealerships charging them out of pocket to replace the assembly. Defendants have been aware of the Defect for years, including prior to sale of the Class Vehicles, as evidenced by the large number of owners and lessees who have complained about this Defect, including when consumers brought their Class Vehicles to Defendants' authorized dealerships for repairs. Despite Defendants' knowledge of the Defect, which renders the Class Vehicles hazardous and unsuitable for their intended purpose, they have failed to provide adequate repairs and have failed to disclose the Defect to unsuspecting purchasers and lessees. Although the Defect presents a clear safety hazard, Defendants have also failed to issue a recall and adequately address the Defect. As a result of the Defect, Plaintiffs and Class Members are unable to utilize their Vehicles as advertised, and in a safe manner, and have incurred damages. Specifically, Plaintiffs and Class Members were each injured on account of receiving Vehicles that were less valuable than what was represented. Plaintiffs and Class Members did not get the benefit of their bargains, experienced diminution in the value of their Vehicles, and sustained losses in the form of other out-of-pocket costs incurred that are related to the Defect. These consumers continue to live with the risks of their DRLs failing while they are operating their Vehicles, costly replacements, loss of use of their Class Vehicles, and out of pocket expenses, says the suit. To redress these and other harms, Plaintiffs bring claims for violations of Georgia, Texas, and Virginia consumer protection statutes, breaches of express and implied warranties, common law fraud and fraudulent concealment, and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs Apryl Gonzalez, Shawn Greiner, Charles Johns, Anna Johns, Paul Wynn, Lydia Langham, and Jared Glenn purchased the Class Vehicles with the DRL Defect. Defendant Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is a New Jersey corporation with its principal place of business in Herndon, Virginia. It is a wholly owned North American subsidiary of Volkswagen AG and is responsible for the operations of the Audi, Volkswagen, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Bentley brands in the United States.

WELDALL MANUFACTURING, INC., Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-01282-JPS (E.D. Wis., July 22, 2026) is a collective and class action against the Defendant for purposes of obtaining relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA") and Wisconsin's Wage Payment and Collection Laws ("WWPCL") for unpaid overtime compensation, unpaid agreed upon wages, liquidated damages, costs, attorneys' fees, declaratory and/or injunctive relief, and/or any such other relief the Court may deem appropriate. The complaint alleges that the Defendant operated an unlawful compensation system that deprived and failed to compensate Plaintiff and all other current and former hourly-paid, non-exempt employees for all hours worked and work performed each workweek, including at an overtime rate of pay for each hour worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek, by shaving time (via electronic timeclock rounding) from Plaintiff's and all other hourly-paid, non-exempt employees' weekly timesheets for pre-shift and post-shift hours worked and/or work performed, to the detriment of said employees and to the benefit of Defendant.

Accordingly, Plaintiff and the Wisconsin Class seek damages in the amount of their respective unpaid compensation, injunctive relief requiring Defendant to cease and desist from its violations of the Wisconsin laws and to comply with them, and such other legal and equitable relief as the Court deems just and proper.

YOULEND US LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-04101-VMC (N.D. Ga., July 21, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive and personally identifying information, which, as a result, was targeted, accessed, and stolen from Defendant's care in a foreseeable, preventable, data breach. On June 9, 2026, the Defendant was alerted of a disruption to its IT Network. In response, the Defendant began an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the data breach. The Defendant's investigation determined that an unauthorized third-party gained access to its IT Network between June 5, 2026, and June 9, 2026. According to the complaint, the mechanism of the cyberattack and potential for improper disclosure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information was a known risk to Defendant, and thus, the Defendant knew that failing to take reasonable steps to secure the Private Information left it in a dangerous condition. To recover from Defendant for these harms, the Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and the Class, brings claims for negligence/negligence per se, breach of implied contract, and unjust enrichment to address Defendant's inadequate safeguarding of Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information in its custody and Defendant's failure to provide timely or adequate notice to Plaintiff and Class Members that their information was compromised in the data breach.

YOULEND US LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-04107-VMC (N.D.

The complaint relates that as a condition of obtaining Defendant's services, Plaintiff and Class Members directly or indirectly entrusted YouLend with their sensitive Private Information. Despite its duty to safeguard the Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members, Defendant allowed an unauthorized party to access Defendant's network between June 5, 2026, and June 9, 2026. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's failure to implement and follow basic security procedures, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information is now in the hands of cybercriminals. The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff has suffered actual injury from having his Private Information exposed and/or stolen as a result of the Data Breach, including: (a) required mitigation efforts, including researching the Data Breach and needing to monitor his financial statements to ensure his information is not used for identity theft and fraud; (b) damages to and diminution of the value of his Private Information, a form of intangible property that loses value when it falls into the hands of criminals; (c) loss of privacy; and (d) continuous imminent and impending injury raising from increased risk of financial identity theft and fraud. Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, alleges claims for negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment and declaratory judgment arising from the Data Breach. Plaintiff seeks damages and injunctive relief, including the adoption of reasonably sufficient practices to safeguard the Private Information in Defendant's custody to prevent incidents like the Data Breach from reoccurring in the future, and for Defendant to provide identity theft protective services to Plaintiff and Class Members for their lifetimes.

ZENPATIENT, INC., Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-08055 (C.D. Cal., July 22, 2026) alleges violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

The Defendant could have prevented this Data Breach by implementing reasonable, expected, and industry standard data security measures. Instead, the Defendant disregarded the rights of Plaintiff and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and negligently failing to implement these measures to safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information and by failing to take necessary steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of that information, the suit contends.
