Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement

If approved, potential class members will generally receive information about the settlement and their rights, including any deadlines for taking action.

Class Certification Granted

The court has determined that a class action is the appropriate method to bring the claims by class members. Usually, when a class is certified, the judge will also affirm an individual or entity to represent the class and finalize a class definition (i.e.: who is represented in the lawsuit).

Jun 13, 2025

Motion to Dismiss Denied in Part

The court has determined that plaintiffs have adequately alleged some of their claims, but have failed to adequately allege other claims. The judge has therefore denied in part the motion to dismiss filed by defendants and written an order stating which claims are dismissed and which remain. The case will proceed and parties will litigate the remaining claims.

Mar 11, 2024

Motion to Dismiss

After reviewing the complaint(s) filed by plaintiffs, defendants have filed a motion requesting that the court dismiss some or all of the plaintiffs' claims. In a motion to dismiss, defendants might challenge the validity of plaintiffs' claims or adequacy of plaintiffs' pleadings. Once a motion to dismiss is filed, the judge will make a decision on whether part or all of the case should be dismissed or the case can proceed as alleged.
