Ky. Judge Orders More Cases to Be Consolidated in PharMerica Data Breach MDL

Consolidation of a fraud complaint against Brightspring Health Services and PharMerica by plaintiffs Ryan Collins and Hannan Slaughter with PharMerica Data Breach Litigation is appropriate because the cases involve common questions of law and fact. So said U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings for Western Kentucky, Louisville, in a Monday order (docket 3:23-cv-00297), saying plaintiffs had a “non-opposition to consolidation.” Jennings ordered three other cases to be consolidated with the multidistrict litigation Friday: Baca v. PharMerica, Raney v. PharMerica and Young v. PharMerica. The lawsuits allege defendants failed to safeguard plaintiffs’ personally identifiable information during a March data breach.
