MEMORANDA AND ORDERS

OCTOBER 09, 2024

BY SLOMSKY, J.

Handy v. Delaware River Surgical Suites, LLC et al; 19-1028; For the foregoing reasons, the Court will overrule Plaintiff�s first objection and adopt the Special Master�s Report and Recommendation granting Defendant BCOS� Motion to Amend its Answer (Doc. No. 386) and allowing additional discovery.

BY SLOMSKY, J.

Heard v. Hand & Stone Massage and Facial SPA; 22-3212; For the stated reasons, Plaintiff�s Motion to Alter Judgment to Include Court-Determined Economic Loss (Doc. No. 69) will be denied.

BY S�NCHEZ, J.

USA v. Izquierdo; 22-221; In sum, the Government presented sufficient evidence from which a reasonable jury could convict Izquierdo on Counts Three and Four. No miscarriage of justice has occurred. The Court will therefore deny Izquierdo�s motion for judgment of acquittal or a new trial.

BY SAVAGE, J.

Abira Medical Laboratories, LLC v. Peach State Health Plan, Inc. et al; 23-5065; Abira impermissibly groups Peach State and Centene together without specifying what each did. Nonetheless, the only alleged connection Centene has to Abira�s claim is that it is the parent company of Peach State.

BY WOLSON, J.

Lundeen v. 10 West Ferry Street Operations LLC; 24-109; I cannot grant preliminary approval of the settlement because it requires class members who did not opt in to the FLSA collective to release their FLSA claims, which is neither fair nor reasonable.
