This document is a memorandum and order from a United States District Court case regarding a motion for a temporary restraining order filed by Jane Doe on behalf of her son, John Doe, against Ladue Horton Watkins High School and others. The court is considering whether to grant John Doe's request for a TRO to order that he be placed on the junior varsity soccer team after being cut from all three of the school's soccer teams. After reviewing arguments from both parties and testimony from the soccer coach, the court denies the motion for a TRO, finding that John Doe has not sufficiently demonstrated that he would suffer irreparable harm without the order and that he is not likely to succeed on the merits of his claims of discrimination
This document is a complaint for declaratory relief filed by MGM Resorts International and related entities (MGM Parties) regarding lawsuits and threatened lawsuits against them related to the October 1, 2017 mass shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada by Stephen Paddock. The complaint argues that under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act), federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over such claims since security services at the event provided by Contemporary Services Corporation were certified by the Department of Homeland Security under the SAFETY Act. The complaint seeks a declaration that the SAFETY Act governs all actions and claims related to Paddock's attack.
1) Dennis Wright was charged with criminal offenses related to a hit-and-run accident that killed a pedestrian. The victim's estate then sued Wright in civil court.
2) In the civil case, the estate sought discovery of Wright's financial records and social media accounts. Wright objected based on his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
3) The trial court ordered Wright to provide the requested discovery. Wright then filed a petition for certiorari seeking to quash the discovery order. The appellate court denied the petition and upheld the discovery order.
The Supreme Court of Florida ruled on whether the attorney-client privilege protects a party from having to disclose that their attorney referred them to a treating physician. The court determined that such a disclosure implicates confidential communication between the attorney and client and is therefore protected by attorney-client privilege. This decision quashes the ruling of the Fifth District Court of Appeal, which had ordered the disclosure.
The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered the centralization of 113 actions pending in 17 districts involving injuries allegedly caused by the Mirena IUD contraceptive system into an MDL in the Southern District of New York. This litigation has grown substantially since the Panel previously denied centralization in 2014, as the number of actions, districts, counsel, and procedural postures now make informal coordination impracticable. Centralization will promote the just and efficient conduct of the litigation by avoiding duplicative discovery on issues of general causation and allowing the transferee judge to address other common pretrial issues. Two trial-ready actions were excluded from the MDL.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized 45 federal lawsuits involving injuries from testosterone replacement therapies into a multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Illinois.

The court had previously found the defendants in contempt for making unsubstantiated advertising claims about weight loss products in violation of injunctions against deceptive marketing practices. At an evidentiary hearing, the court considered evidence to determine the appropriate nature and amount of sanctions. In this order, the court issues findings of fact regarding the defendants' roles and responsibilities at Hi-Tech, and reserves judgment to issue conclusions of law on the sanctions imposed.
The FDA has discouraged the use of laparoscopic power morcellation for hysterectomy or myomectomy procedures due to the risk of spreading unsuspected uterine cancer. Laparoscopic power morcellation uses a device to cut uterine tissue into smaller pieces for removal through small abdominal incisions. While most uterine fibroids are non-cancerous, approximately 1 in 350 women undergoing these procedures for fibroids may have an unsuspected uterine sarcoma cancer, and using morcellation in these cases risks spreading the cancerous cells within the abdomen and pelvis.

Charles Littleton filed a complaint against AbbVie Inc. and Abbott Laboratories Inc. regarding injuries from the prescription drug AndroGel. Littleton alleges that Defendants misrepresented AndroGel as safe and effective for hypogonadism despite knowing studies linked testosterone therapies to increased cardiac risks. Littleton was prescribed AndroGel for low testosterone but claims AndroGel caused him injuries. Defendants carried out a large marketing campaign to promote low testosterone as underdiagnosed and AndroGel as easy to use, which significantly increased AndroGel sales and prescriptions. However, several studies have found testosterone therapies like AndroGel increase risks of heart attack, stroke, and death
Unconscious gender stereotypes negatively impact how female lawyers are perceived and evaluated, presenting obstacles to their career advancement and equal treatment.

This document is a memorandum in support of a motion to transfer and consolidate 15 lawsuits related to injuries from ingesting the dietary supplement Total Body Formula. The memorandum argues that transfer is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. 1407 because the lawsuits involve common questions of fact regarding the same product and defendants. Specifically, all lawsuits allege that Total Body Formula contained excessive and dangerous amounts of selenium and chromium that caused injuries to plaintiffs. Transferring the cases to a single district court for pretrial proceedings would promote convenience, efficiency, and prevent duplicative discovery and pretrial rulings.

It finds that scholarship football players are employees and directs that an election be held to determine if players wish to be represented by CAPA.
