New book, ‘Who Gets Your Passwords?,’ helps families prepare for managing digital assets after death

Most older adults have planned their estates. Few have planned their digital estates.

ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Millions of Americans have prepared wills, named beneficiaries, and organized their financial records, but many have overlooked a critical question: What happens to their email accounts, online banking, digital photos, passwords, and other digital assets when they die? TheSeniorTechie founder Paul Wilczynski addresses that growing problem in his new book, “Who Gets Your Passwords? TheSeniorTechie Guide To Digital Estate Planning” (ISBN:‎ 979-8995501725), now available on Amazon.

As more of daily life moves online, family members are increasingly finding themselves unable to access important accounts, documents, photographs, and records after the death of a loved one.

“Many people have spent years preparing traditional estate documents,” said Wilczynski. “But they haven’t prepared their digital estate. Families often discover too late that they don’t know where important information is stored, what accounts exist, or how to access them.”

A digital estate includes far more than social media accounts. It can include email, online banking, cloud storage, digital photographs, smartphones, subscription services, shopping accounts, websites, loyalty programs, and other online assets accumulated over a lifetime.

The book is intended not only for individuals and families but also as a practical resource that can support conversations between clients and the professionals who help them prepare wills, trusts, and estate plans. Wilczynski believes digital estate planning should become a routine part of the broader estate planning process.

Written specifically for non-technical readers, the guide focuses on simple, practical steps for identifying digital assets, organizing account information, protecting privacy, preserving family memories, and creating clear instructions for loved ones.

“We spend a lifetime creating digital assets without thinking of them as assets,” said Wilczynski. “Taking a little time to organize that information today can save loved ones a great deal of frustration tomorrow.”

The issue affects people of all ages but may be particularly important for older adults who have accumulated decades of records, photographs, correspondence, and online accounts.

“At its heart, digital estate planning isn’t really about passwords,” Wilczynski said. “It’s about making life easier for the people you care about.”

“Who Gets Your Passwords? TheSeniorTechie Guide To Digital Estate Planning” is available in paperback and ebook formats through Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7N336SQ.

Florida Attorney General Uthmeier Becomes First in Nation to Subpoena CVS’s Secret Contracts with Drug Manufacturers, Distributors, and Pharmacies

Landmark Action Aims to Expose Opaque PBM Practices Driving Up Drug Costs and Threatening Independent Pharmacy Access

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., June 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Small Business Pharmacies Aligned for Reform (SPAR) today praised Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier for becoming the first attorney general in the United States to subpoena CVS’s confidential contracts with drug manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and both chain and independent retail pharmacies. The subpoenas represent a historic step toward exposing the secretive pricing and contracting practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that patient advocates and independent pharmacists say have driven up prescription drug costs and jeopardized patients’ access to community pharmacy care.

Image caption: Small business Pharmacies Aligned for Reform (SPAR) is a group of Floridian neighborhood pharmacists and other advocates.

“We appreciate Attorney General Uthmeier for standing up to CVS and the vertically integrated PBMs on behalf of Floridians seeking answers to the continuing problems of ever-increasing price and shrinking patient accessibility to prescription medication,” said Dawn Butterfield, SPAR president. “Floridians are entitled to know and understand how PBM contract terms may affect their access to care and the price they pay at the pharmacy counter.”

“The subpoenas will compel CVS to produce contracts that have never been subject to public scrutiny, including agreements governing drug pricing with manufacturers, wholesaler purchase terms, and the reimbursement and network participation conditions imposed on retail pharmacies,” said Barney Bishop, SPAR’s CEO. “Transparency into these agreements will allow investigators to assess whether CVS’s contracting practices comply with state consumer protection and antitrust law, and whether patients are being harmed by the systemic elimination of independent pharmacy competition.”

“SPAR urges state attorneys general across the country to follow Florida’s lead and examine whether PBM contracting practices in their states are harming patients and independent pharmacies,” Mr. Bishop said.

ABOUT SPAR

Small business Pharmacies Aligned for Reform (SPAR) is a group of Floridian neighborhood pharmacists and other advocates focused stopping anti-competitive practices that PBMs use to short circuit the free market while placing additional burdens on patients and pharmacists. SPAR is committed to championing legislation that promotes neighborhood pharmacies’ ability to continue providing medications and care to the local patients and communities they serve.

Accepted, Not Denied, Never Decided: California Ferret Petition Remains Unresolved After 378 Days

Petitioners say State's inaction has left them with fewer rights than if the petition had been denied

LA MESA, Calif., June 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Three hundred seventy-eight days after the California Fish and Game Commission unanimously voted to give further consideration to a petition seeking removal of domestic ferrets from California’s restricted species list, the petition remains unresolved, says Legalize Ferrets (Legalizeferrets.org).

Photo caption: Dino pauses for a photo while exploring his favorite room in the house – the laundry room. More than a year after California regulators voted to consider Petition 2025-003, the petition remains unresolved.

No recommendation has been issued. No determination has been provided to the petitioner. No final action has been taken.

Petitioners argue that the result is a procedural dead end: had the petition been denied, they could have sought judicial review. Instead, the petition was accepted and referred for evaluation, but remains unresolved more than a year later.

“The unusual part of this case is that acceptance of the petition appears to have left us with fewer practical remedies than a denial would have,” said Pat Wright, founder of LegalizeFerrets.org. “Had the petition been rejected, we could have challenged that decision. Instead, it was accepted, referred, and then left unresolved.”

A PETITION ACCEPTED BUT NEVER DECIDED

On June 11, 2025, the Fish and Game Commission voted unanimously to give further consideration to Petition 2025-003 and referred the matter to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for evaluation.

Had the Commission denied the petition, petitioners could have pursued available legal remedies. Had the petition proceeded through the normal administrative process, the Department would have completed its review and returned a recommendation to the Commission.

Instead, 378 days later, the petition remains pending without a final determination.

Petitioners contend that the State’s inaction has created a situation in which the administrative process has stalled while no final agency decision exists for a court to review.

PUBLIC RECORDS RAISE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

Seeking to understand the status of the petition, petitioners submitted multiple requests under the California Public Records Act.

In response to an April 2026 records request, the Department reported that no responsive records existed. A later records request produced internal documents showing the petition was known to Department personnel and appeared on an internal petitions agenda.

Meeting notes from an April 29, 2026 petitions meeting show discussion of several petitions. The notation for the ferret petition states only: “No discussion.”

Records produced to date have revealed no documented recommendation, evaluation, or analysis of Petition 2025-003.

Additional records revealed litigation-hold communications relating to the petition and subsequent litigation.

THE QUESTION BEFORE THE COURT

The litigation does not ask the court to legalize ferrets.

Instead, the case seeks judicial review of whether state agencies have fulfilled their legal obligations after accepting a petition for consideration.

According to filings in the case, the State argues that petitioners generally must await final agency action before seeking judicial review. Petitioners argue that because no final action has ever been taken, they have been left in procedural limbo—unable to obtain a decision from the agency while simultaneously being told there is no final decision to challenge.

“The question extends beyond ferrets,” Wright said. “If an agency can accept a petition and then simply never complete the process, the public’s right to petition government becomes largely meaningless. Citizens should be entitled to an answer.”

California’s Response to Ferret Lawsuit Raises Questions About Agency Authority and Petition Rights

LA MESA, Calif., May 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — LegalizeFerrets.org says a new phase has emerged in California’s long-running ferret controversy after the California Fish and Game Commission and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife filed demurrers in response to a lawsuit involving Petition 2025-003 — a citizen petition seeking reconsideration of California’s classification of domestic ferrets as restricted animals.

Image caption: California’s response to the Petition 2025-003 lawsuit is raising questions about whether agencies may indefinitely delay citizen petitions — and whether the Fish and Game Commission believes it possesses authority to legalize ferrets.

The lawsuit, filed in Sacramento Superior Court, centers on whether California agencies may indefinitely leave formally accepted citizen petitions under “further consideration” without issuing a meaningful determination.

But the State’s response has also raised an additional issue.

According to the filings, the State appears to leave open the argument that the Fish and Game Commission may not possess authority to legalize ferrets through regulation — despite California having treated ferret legalization for decades as a regulatory matter handled through the Commission process.

“For years, Californians were told ferret legalization had to go through the Fish and Game Commission,” said Pat Wright of LegalizeFerrets.org. “Now the State appears to be suggesting the Commission may not even possess authority to do what it has spent decades reviewing, debating, and processing through regulatory channels.”

Petition 2025-003 was formally accepted by the Commission for “further consideration” in June 2025 and referred to the Department of Fish and Wildlife for review and recommendation.

After months passed without an apparent substantive decision, Public Records Act requests were submitted seeking records showing what evaluation work had been performed. The responses to those requests ultimately contributed to the filing of the writ lawsuit now before the court.

The State’s demurrer argues that the Commission satisfied its obligations under California’s Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by accepting the petition, discussing it publicly, and referring it internally for further review.

Supporters of the petition argue that such an interpretation risks undermining the practical purpose of California’s petition process.

“If agencies can indefinitely refer petitions internally without producing meaningful outcomes, Californians have a right to ask what the petition process actually guarantees,” Wright said.

The dispute also highlights language already contained within California regulations. Title 14, Section 671 states:

“The California Fish and Game Commission has determined the below listed animals are not normally domesticated in this state.”

The regulation includes the Mustelidae family, which includes ferrets.

Supporters argue that language raises a central question: if the Commission possessed authority to determine ferrets were “not normally domesticated,” why would it lack authority to revisit or reconsider that determination?

The court is not currently deciding whether ferrets should be legalized in California. The immediate issue before the court is whether the lawsuit may proceed and whether California agencies must provide meaningful responses to formally accepted petitions for regulatory change.

New Jersey’s Save Long Beach Island Sues NOAA for Failure to Protect Migration Corridor of Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale

Lawsuit seeks to compel NOAA to act on a year-old petition to designate the whale's migration path a 'critical habitat' to ensure its survival

LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J., May 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Save Long Beach Island (Save LBI), a nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to protecting our oceans from needless industrialization, along with other concerned parties, filed suit against the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to compel the agency to act on a 2025 petition intended to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW).

Image caption: The critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. Credit: Save LBI (generated with AI tools).

With a population that has dwindled dramatically in recent years, the magnificent right whale is inching perilously close to extinction as it faces a number of ongoing threats. Save LBI filed the petition a year ago on March 31, 2025 requesting NOAA to designate the whale’s primary historic migration corridor a “critical habitat” under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The corridor identified in the Petition [media.fisheries.noaa.gov/2025-05/NARW-Petition-March-31-2025-508-.pdf] is based on the observation of historical whale migration and the location of its prey.

Notwithstanding multiple follow-up letters, NOAA has not acted on the request, despite the mandated 90-day deadline for doing so. “The deadline for response from the Agency has long since passed so we must go to court,” said Thomas Stavola, Jr., attorney handling the action. “This lawsuit compels NOAA to fulfill its legal duty to consider Save Long Beach Island’s critical habitat petition.”

The primary historic migration corridor designation would require federal agencies to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to destroy or adversely modify the corridor, which is essential to the whale’s migration and survival. It would, in effect, create a vital “missing link” between critical habitats NOAA designated in 1994, and later expanded, to protect the right whale’s feeding grounds off the coast of Maine (and New England) and its calving and nursery grounds off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina. No habitat protections currently exist between these areas in the far north and south, putting the whale’s survival at great risk.

“Only about 380 North Atlantic right whales are believed to remain, which means every preventable impact matters,” explained Denise Boccia, Save LBI Board Member and the primary architect of the petition. “Protecting their connected and continuous primary migration corridor as critical habitat is the most direct, science-based tool we have to keep this species from sliding into extinction.”

WHAT A CRITICAL HABITAT DESIGNATION WOULD DO

If NOAA designates the NARW’s primary historic migration corridor as critical habitat, federal agencies would be required to:

Evaluate impacts of major projects—such as large-scale offshore industrial development—on the miles-wide corridor itself.

Avoid actions that are likely to destroy or appreciably degrade the whale’s migratory corridor, including activities that create wide-ranging elevated levels of underwater noise across the corridor or appreciably alter the availability of its prey.

A critical habitat designation would deter wind-energy development in lease areas—such as the Atlantic Shores South and North areas off the coast of southern New Jersey—that were unwisely positioned in the whale’s primary migration corridor. Save LBI’s detailed analysis of operational noise from wind-energy complexes (summarized in the Addendum below) reveals that noise from operating wind turbines extends for miles where it remains above levels that disturb the whale’s behavior. “Consequently, those projects could adversely and appreciably affect the miles-wide migration corridor itself and not only seriously impair, but potentially block, the whale’s essential annual migration,” said Save LBI President Bob Stern, a Ph.D. scientist and former manager of the Office of National Environmental Policy Act Affairs for the U.S. Department of Energy.

WHAT THE DESIGNATION WOULD NOT DO

Despite what NOAA has said regarding prior, similar designations, a critical habitat designation for the NARW migration corridor would not:

Regulate or restrict vessel traffic: The areas NOAA designates for lower vessel speeds are governed through separate authorities and processes and based on the presence of whales. Whether those areas are labeled critical habitat or not has no bearing on those restrictions.

Regulate or restrict commercial or recreational fishing: The designation has no effect on private or state-sanctioned fishing. Federal fishing gear regulations and related measures are governed through separate authorities and processes based on perceived impacts to the whale itself. Any additional measures based on the critical habitat designation would require a separate determination that fishing is likely to destroy or adversely and appreciably modify the miles-wide migration corridor itself, which is not a plausible argument.

—ADDENDUM: SAVE LBI ESTIMATED NOISE RANGES—

Summary: The Extent of Behavior-Disturbing Noise from Offshore Wind Energy Complexes

Save LBI’s calculations of the noise from wind-turbine complexes proposed in the New York Bight (an area that extends from the southern tip of Cape May, New Jersey, to the southeastern coast of New York’s Long Island) showed that sound levels exceeding the whale’s behavioral disturbance threshold, represented by the red lines in the illustration, extend through the wind complex and for miles from its perimeter (the green line represents all known migration paths, which is wider than the closer-to-shore primary historic migration corridor identified in the petition).

Image caption: A section of the right whale migration corridor off the coast of New Jersey. Credit: Save LBI.

Some straight-forward math leads to the same conclusion. During wind-turbine construction, noise source levels from pile driving are on the order of 240 decibels (dB). A significant reduction of about 80 dB is necessary to reduce those noise levels to NOAA’s “impulsive-noise behavioral disturbance threshold” of 160 dB. For turbine operation, the aggregate noise source level from a typical complex is about 200 dB, which would also have to be reduced by around 80 dB to meet NOAA’s lower “continuous-noise behavioral disturbance threshold” of 120 dB.

Because both cases require essentially the same 80 dB reduction in noise level, the distances over which sound must travel to drop to acceptable behavioral thresholds is similar. Numerous acoustic analyses conducted by the wind-energy projects have shown that pile-driving noise remains above the acceptable impulsive noise levels for a number of miles beyond the source. So those same multiple-mile ranges are needed to reduce the continuous operational noise generated by the wind complex to the acceptable continuous level, as shown by the red lines in the illustration. Such long distances of elevated noise level create a noise barrier to migration and degrade the viability of the migration corridor itself.

The Smartest Move of 2026: Switching to a Feature-Rich, Affordable e-Signature and Online Notary System

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 23, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A widespread shift in business technology is driving organizations across legal, financial services, staffing, governments, life science, and corporate sectors to rethink how they manage data, workflows, and document execution, says Secured Signing. As companies migrate from legacy systems, integrated all-in-one e-Signature and online notary solutions are emerging as a critical component of modern operations.

Image caption: The Smartest Move of 2026: Switching to a Feature-Rich, Affordable e-Signature and Online Notary System.

This “Great Migration” is redefining the way organizations operate, pushing leaders to look beyond where their data is stored and focus on how powerfully, and seamlessly, their systems can work together.

WHAT’S DRIVING THE SHIFT

Despite already having systems in place, organizations are increasingly making the decision to switch platforms. The reasons are consistent across industries:

Rising frustration with legacy systems Outdated platforms can’t keep up with modern workflow demands, slowing teams down and creating unnecessary friction.
Demand for seamless integration Organizations want tools that talk to each other — not isolated systems that create data silos.
Pressure to reduce operational costs Feature‑rich, affordable solutions are replacing expensive, rigid technologies that no longer justify their price.
Need for faster, more secure document execution e‑Signature platforms have become essential for speed, compliance, and risk reduction.
Remote and hybrid work becoming the norm Distributed teams require digital‑first processes that work anywhere, anytime.
Customer and client expectations are higher than ever People expect instant, digital interactions — not slow, paper‑based workflows.
Scalability and future‑readiness Companies want systems that grow with them, not ones that hold them back.
Data governance and compliance pressures Integrated platforms make it easier to maintain control, visibility, and auditability across the entire document lifecycle.
Evolving Compliance Requirements: Businesses must meet increasingly strict standards for data security and privacy, making outdated platforms a liability.
Demand for All-in-One Efficiency: Teams are seeking streamlined, end-to-end workflows rather than juggling multiple tools to complete a single task.

E-SIGNATURES: A CRITICAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

As organizations transition to new systems, ensuring continuity in document workflows is essential. e-Signature platforms are no longer standalone tools, they are central to automation, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Modern businesses require Advanced Electronic Signature solutions that integrate directly with their CRM, ATS, LOS, Documents Management, or practice management systems while maintaining the highest standards of security, trust and reliability.

California Resident Files Writ of Mandate Regarding State Ferret Ban

Domestic ferrets are legal to own in 48 U.S. states, yet California continues to maintain a prohibition

LA MESA, Calif., March 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pat Wright, a California resident and advocate for ferret legalization, and founder of LegalizeFerrets.org, has filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate in Sacramento County Superior Court against the California Fish and Game Commission and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Image caption: Domestic ferrets are widely kept as companion animals and are legal household pets in 48 U.S. states.

The petition asks the court to compel the agencies to comply with their duties under the California Administrative Procedure Act in response to Petition 2025-003, which challenges the continued classification of domestic ferrets as prohibited animals in California.

Domestic ferrets are legal to own in 48 U.S. states, yet California continues to maintain a prohibition that originated in early importation regulations adopted in 1933.

Under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, section 671, ferrets are prohibited because they are categorized as animals “not normally domesticated in this state.” Historical materials describing the regulatory history of ferrets in California indicate that this determination appeared in regulatory language adopted in 1988, stating that the Commission had determined the listed animals were not normally domesticated in California.

A chronology of California’s ferret regulations appears in Appendix II: History of California Regulations / Policies Pertaining to Ferrets, compiled from multiple sources including Kizer and Constantine (1989), Weisser (1991), Moore and Whisson (1998), Herman (2000), Graening (2010), and California Department of Fish and Game records.

In June 2025, the California Fish and Game Commission unanimously accepted Petition 2025-003 for consideration and referred it to the Department of Fish and Wildlife for review.

According to Wright, the agencies have not yet issued a formal response to the petition.

Seeking to understand what work had been conducted in response to the petition, Wright submitted California Public Records Act requests for documents describing the Department’s review.

“The Department responded that it may take up to 90 days to produce records showing what actions have been taken,” Wright said.

Wright argues that the pace of response contrasts with how the Commission has handled other petitions.

In a recent case involving Asian water buffalo, the Commission completed the petition review process in approximately eight and a half months.

“The Commission accepted Petition 2025-003 last June,” Wright said. “We are simply asking the agencies to perform the review and provide the response required under California law.”

The lawsuit asks the court to order the agencies to perform their statutory duties and properly respond to Petition 2025-003.

La Belle Farms and Hudson Valley Foie Gras to Challenge Recent Appellate Ruling That Limits State Review of NYC’s Foie Gras Ban

Upstate Duck Farmers Will Ask New York's Highest Court to Restore Earlier Ruling that Protected Farm Practices and Farmers' Livelihoods

FERNDALE, N.Y., March 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — La Belle Farms, a fourth-generation, family owned and operated duck farm located in Ferndale, N.Y., announced today it will appeal the recent decision by the Appellate Division, Third Department, which ruled that the State Department of Agriculture and Markets misapplied state law when it blocked New York City’s 2019 ban on the sale of foie gras (Local Law 202).

Last week, the appeals court found that the state agency’s protection of La Belle’s farm operations went beyond what the statute allows. The farm said it respects the court system and will seek review by the New York Court of Appeals to resolve the competing priorities at issue – NYC’s animal-welfare concerns and New York State’s longstanding policy to support agriculture as a vital part of the economy.

“Today’s ruling is a setback, but we will not stop fighting for our right to farm and to sell our product,” said Sergio Saravia. “This appeal is about more than foie gras; it’s about protecting family farms and the many jobs and small businesses that depend on them. We’ll be asking the Court of Appeals to clarify how state agricultural protection should operate so farmers aren’t left vulnerable to local measures that reach well beyond city limits.”

La Belle Farms is a fourth-generation, family-run duck farm on 40 acres in Sullivan County, NY. Founded by the Saravia family in 1999, La Belle is one of the few farms nationwide producing foie gras and premium duck meat, and it supports the regional economy by employing hundreds of local workers and partnering with area businesses.

“Agriculture depends on predictable and consistent policies so farmers can operate with certainty,” notes Marcus Henley, manager of Hudson Valley Foie Gras, a premier New York foie gras producer. “It becomes difficult when different municipalities adopt their own restrictions on products that are otherwise legal under state law.”

Edward Phillips of Keane & Bean, PC, who represents La Belle Farms, added: “We will ask the Court of Appeals to review the record and uphold the Commissioner’s determination. The Appellate Division held that the Commissioner was powerless to stop the City from imposing a sales ban that was admittedly designed to restrict a farming practice. That ruling, which is unprecedented and leaves all farmers across the state vulnerable to similar sales bans, should be reviewed by New York’s highest court.”

While the Appellate Division ruled against the agency’s interpretation, La Belle Farms notes that a separate injunction from another case currently prevents the city from enforcing Local Law 202.

ABOUT LA BELLE FARMS:

Champion Women and Advocacy Groups File Amicus Brief in Ninth Circuit Challenging NCAA Settlement That Entrenches Inequity and Silences Athletes’ Voices

OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 12, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Champion Women, together with Wrestle Like A Girl, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association, and the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group, announced today that they have filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in In re College Athlete NIL Litigation (No. 25-4190). According to Liberty Law, Inc., the filing supports a slew of objectors challenging the NCAA’s proposed $2.8 billion settlement, arguing that it perpetuates systemic inequities, suppresses athlete compensation, and strips athletes, particularly women and those in Olympic and non-revenue sports, of fair representation.

Image caption: Logos of organizations that filed the amicus curiae brief.

The amici warn that the settlement is not the “historic breakthrough” it has been portrayed to be, but rather is a deal that institutionalizes inequality. It binds nearly 400,000 current and former college athletes into one massive class action, negotiated by a single group of lawyers without independent or conflict-free counsel. Under the settlement, men’s football and basketball players receive more than 95% of the settlement funds, while athletes in 42 other NCAA sports, representing the overwhelming majority of Division I competitors, share less than 5% of the paltry settlement but are required to release all of their legal claims.

“This is not progress — it’s the preservation of the same inequities that have defined college sports for decades,” said Nancy Hogshead, Olympic gold medalist and founder of Champion Women. “The NCAA and class counsel have created a settlement that looks like reform but, in reality, leaves women athletes and most college sports behind.”

The amicus brief cites landmark Supreme Court precedents, Amchem Products, Inc. v. Windsor and Ortiz v. Fibreboard Corp., and the Third Circuit’s recent Murray decision, which all reaffirm that when class members have divergent interests, the law requires separate representation and conflict-free counsel. With 46 NCAA sports effectively competing for the same limited pool, the settlement exposes these conflicts, granting 95% of the proceeds to men’s football and basketball while providing minimal relief to women and athletes in non-revenue sports. The amici argue that this structure violates established class-action safeguards and fails to deliver the fairness the law demands.

Led by attorneys Gerson H. Smoger, JD., PhD. (Smoger & Associates), Micha Star Liberty (Liberty Law, Inc.), and David Arbogast (Arbogast Law), the amici call for the Ninth Circuit to remand the case to the district court with instructions to require separate, conflict-free counsel and dedicated representatives for women athletes and other underrepresented groups.

“True reform means every athlete, regardless of gender or sport, has an advocate fighting for their interests,” said attorney Micha Star Liberty. “This case is a turning point — the Ninth Circuit has the chance to decide whether college sports move toward equality or remain entrenched in the same systemic imbalance.”

Champion Women, Wrestle Like A Girl, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association, and the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group joined forces in this filing to stand for fairness, representation, and equality in collegiate athletics — principles that must finally extend to every athlete, in every sport.

The amicus brief was filed on November 10, 2025, and is available on the Ninth Circuit’s docket for In re College Athlete NIL Litigation (No. 25-4190).

Secured Signing Unveils Realify to Stop Deepfake Fraud

As a critical security layer, Realify uses advanced technology to analyze a person's video and audio in real time to determine if they are 'real' or an AI-generated deepfake

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Secured Signing, a leader in Digital Signatures and Remote Online Notarization (RON) technology, announced the launch of Realify, a new feature designed to protect businesses and their clients from the rising threat of deepfake fraud during remote online notarizations and video signing sessions.

Image caption: Realify by Secured Signing.

As a critical security layer, Realify uses advanced technology to analyze a person’s video and audio in real time to determine if they are “real” or an AI-generated deepfake. The feature creates a secure, verifiable scan of the signer’s face and voice, classifying the result as Authentic, Suspicious, or Fake. This process protects all parties involved from legal and financial risk.

Deepfake technology, once a novelty for entertainment, is now a serious tool for criminals. They use AI to impersonate clients, tricking notaries and businesses into signing fraudulent documents and approving illegal transactions. This can lead to voided notarizations, costly legal battles, and damaged reputations. Realify acts like a digital security guard, stopping deepfake fraud before it can happen.

“Deepfake fraud isn’t a future problem – it’s happening right now,” says Mike Eyal, CEO of Secured Signing. “Notaries and their clients are increasingly at risk. With billions of dollars already lost to this type of fraud, the question is no longer ‘if,’ but ‘when’ they will be targeted. Realify provides an essential shield, ensuring the person on your screen is who they claim to be, giving notaries the peace of mind they need to perform their duties securely.”

HOW REALIFY WORKS

Realify seamlessly integrates with Secured Signing’s RON and Video Signing platform. Host, Notary can choose to scan signers premeeting and during the meeting. The technology analyzes the signer’s face and audio, providing a clear result:

Authentic: The person is real. The notarization can proceed with confidence.
Suspicious: Something seems off, and caution should be exercised. The notary can decide whether to pause or end the session.
Fake: This is a deepfake, and the transaction should not proceed.

It only takes a few minutes to get a report that details each participant, allowing you to decide whether to proceed or end the session. This process works for multiple signers in a single meeting.

WHO BENEFITS FROM REALIFY?

Deepfake fraud poses a risk to any business that relies on secure video transactions.

Realify is an essential security layer for:

Title Professionals: Protect against fraudulent property transfers and ensure clear title integrity.
Finance Professionals: Secure high-value client transactions and protect accounts from deepfake-enabled theft.
Independent and In-house Notaries: Protect yourself and your clients from fake identities.
Mortgage & Lending Professionals: Ensure the integrity of high-value financial transactions.
Legal Firms: Guarantee your video-signed documents will hold up in court.
All Businesses Using Video Signing: From healthcare to real estate, Realify provides a critical layer of protection for any sensitive video transaction.

By detecting deepfakes before a signature is made or a seal is applied, Realify allows notaries to proactively protect their most important documents and the legal integrity of the services they provide. For a live demonstration of Realify, contact the Secured Signing team today.

Secured Signing is a leading provider of Digital Signature, Remote Online Notarization (RON), and video signing solutions. The company’s platform helps businesses and individuals securely sign, notarize, and manage documents from anywhere, ensuring legal compliance and trust.

Feds Respond to Save LBI Lawsuit with Motion to Reconsider Approvals for Massive Atlantic Shores Wind Farm Off the Coast of New Jersey

Fight to cancel beleaguered offshore project is another victory but the fight continues

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a major development for offshore wind oversight and marine environmental protection, the federal government has filed a motion in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to remand the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Construction and Operations Plan (COP) and Record of Decision (ROD) approvals for the controversial Atlantic Shores South offshore wind project, planned only 8.7 miles east of New Jersey’s coast. The filing comes in direct response to a federal lawsuit brought by Save Long Beach Island, Inc. (Save LBI) and a coalition of individuals, businesses, and nonprofit plaintiffs.

Image caption: Visual simulation of what the Atlantic Shores South project would look from Holgate on Long Beach Island, NJ. Source: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).

The lawsuit — filed on July 11, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia — challenges the legality of federal approvals granted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under laws including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), Outer-Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), and the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).

“This filing means federal agencies are going back to the drawing board,” said Bob Stern, Ph.D. scientist and president of Save LBI. “It’s a rare and important moment. It confirms the seriousness of the technical and scientific concerns we’ve raised, for many years now — especially regarding the impacts to endangered North Atlantic right whales and cumulative construction and operation harms to the North Atlantic right whale migration corridor.”

“This is a significant admission by the federal agencies that the Atlantic Shores approvals cannot withstand legal scrutiny in their current form,” said Thomas Stavola Jr. Esq., attorney for Save LBI. “The agencies have now recognized that their environmental review process was flawed and must be revisited. This constitutes a vindication of Plaintiffs’ rights and an acknowledgement of the validity of Plaintiffs’ lawsuit claims.”

The government’s motion requests that the Court remand the COP for Atlantic Shores South so the agencies can reassess the project under governing environmental statutes. That remand effectively dismisses the prior permit approvals granted under those statutes and will likely result in substantial revisions, additional environmental analysis, or a full cancellation of Atlantic Shores’ approval.

The Save LBI and allies’ lawsuit was the first to mount a comprehensive, multi-statute challenge to the Atlantic Shores project, citing data deficiencies, injurious impacts to marine mammals, tourism, economy, and electric rates and failures to assess cumulative impacts across the broader offshore wind buildout.

Today’s motion to remand marks a major inflection point in offshore wind permitting.

The Court will now review the government’s motion and determine whether to grant the remand. While Atlantic Shores currently has most of its federal approvals for the Atlantic Shores South project, earlier this year, Save LBI was responsible for compelling the remand of Atlantic Shores’ Clean Air Act permit to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That permit remains with the EPA.

Save LBI will continue advocating for a full rescission of unlawful approvals, protection of the right whale’s migration, and an overhaul of BOEM and NMFS’s offshore wind permitting practices.

About Save LBI

Save LBI is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization that has been active in ongoing litigation and other efforts to protect the coastal and marine environment from the senseless industrialization of our oceans. The organization is led by Beach Haven, N.J. resident Bob Stern, a Ph.D. scientist with experience in environmental planning and environmental law. He is a former manager of the U.S. Department of Energy office responsible for overseeing environmental reviews related to energy projects and the Bureau of Air Quality Planning within the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).

RECA Reauthorized: Expanded Compensation Offers Renewed Hope to Radiation Exposure Victims

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — After years of advocacy and policy delays, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) has been reauthorized and expanded through December 31, 2028, the Law Office of Laura J. Taylor PLLC announced today. Signed into law by President Donald J. Trump on July 4, this legislation reinstates a critical federal compensation program for individuals harmed by nuclear weapons testing and uranium industry work during the mid-20th century.

Image caption: Law Office of Laura J. Taylor PLLC.

Originally enacted in 1990, RECA provides $100,000 in tax-free compensation to those who developed cancer or other illnesses linked to above-ground nuclear tests or uranium employment. With this reauthorization, eligibility has been significantly broadened. New Mexico residents present between September 24, 1944, and November 6, 1962, are now covered.

Entire states – Utah, Idaho, and New Mexico – have presumptive eligibility, along with certain counties in Arizona and Nevada. Residents of ZIP codes affected by Manhattan Project–era radioactive waste in Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alaska are also included.

Eligible claimants in all areas except New Mexico must show twelve consecutive months of presence between January 21, 1951, and November 6, 1962. New Mexico residents must show one year of eligibility between 1944 and 1962. All covered groups—Downwinders, Uranium Workers, and On-Site Participants—now receive the full $100,000. Previously, payments ranged from $50,000 to $75,000 depending on exposure type. Surviving family members, including spouses, children, and grandchildren, may file claims on behalf of deceased loved ones. Prior recipients of the award are not eligible for additional compensation.

The updated statute also expands the list of compensable illnesses for uranium workers to include renal cancers, nephritis, and kidney tubal tissue injuries. It adds new employment categories such as core drillers and waste remediation workers and allows workers to qualify based on cumulative uranium-related jobs over time.

“The reauthorization of RECA is long-overdue recognition and justice for the communities and families impacted by these historic exposures,” said Laura J. Taylor Turner, Esq., principal attorney at the Law Office of Laura J. Taylor PLLC. “It’s a time-limited opportunity, and I urge anyone who may be eligible to gather their documentation and file a claim as soon as possible.”

The Department of Justice has released updated claim forms, and the filing process is officially open. All claims must be submitted before the December 31, 2027, deadline. Individuals are welcome to file on their own, and many choose to seek legal guidance to help gather records, meet eligibility requirements, and navigate the claims process.

‘Deceit, Corruption, Cover-Up,’ A True Story Written by Michael Leonetti, the Innocent Victim

LAS VEGAS, Nev., July 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Michael Leonetti, a well-known entertainer and master chef was wrongfully arrested, convicted and jailed for a crime he did not commit. It took him 12 years in jail to prove his innocence. His book details and exposes all court documents confirming it was a huge cover-up by the courts, lawyers, detectives and a prison warden.

Image caption: Cover, “Deceit, Corruption, Cover-Up,” a true story written by Michael Leonetti.

Based on a true story, Michael Leonetti’s ”Deceit, Corruption, Cover Up” (ISBN: 978-0578619514) is the extraordinary read that clearly outlines his wrongful arrest and conviction and his continuous court appeals for over 12 years in attempt to prove his innocence.

He not only proved his innocence but revealed the deep corruption within the judicial system that included detectives, judges, lawyers including the former O.J. Simpson Las Vegas judge and even a prison warden.

Michael, of Italian descent, was born in South Philadelphia. His grandfather encouraged him to become a musician and his grandmother taught him how to cook. After moving to Las Vegas to pursue his entertainment career he quickly became known as a drummer and singer opening many entertainment doors at a variety of strip hotels.

As a businessman, Michael launched Las Vegas Image Magazine that featured monthly a huge variety of celebrities such as Jerry Lewis and Robert Goulet. He also showcased his talents as renowned master chef and owner of “My Mother’s House.”

In the early 2000’s Michael’s life passed before him as he was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in jail for a crime he did not commit. Michael was framed and the legal documents displayed in his book support his innocence. The named detective that arrested Michael arrested him without cause which ultimately pushed Michael to file a $250,000 lawsuit against the Metro Police Force for false imprisonment.

Shortly after his arrest Michael’s wife of 25 years filed for divorce due to her parents continuously pushing as they disliked her husband.

Being very spiritual, Michael believed God always had a plan for him while all seemed lost and senseless. With God’s direction Michael began during his sentence writing, producing and directing 60 biblical plays with thousands of the most hardened criminals, something that has never been accomplished in the history of a prison system.

The Court of Appeals after 12 years reversed and remanded that Michael Leonetti’s case on actual innocence and ordered the Nevada Federal Court Attorney to put in an addendum petition on actual innocence in April of 2013. All the documents withheld indicated clearly he did not commit the crime. Michael speaks from his heart and his riveting book clearly sets the record straight on his 12 years of incarceration for an offense he did not commit.

Deemed Wild and Dangerous – But Fish & Game Can’t Produce a Single Document or Respond to Our Records Request

LA MESA, Calif., May 21, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On February 12, 2025, a formal Public Records Act (PRA) request was submitted to the California Fish and Game Commission seeking documentation to justify the classification of domestic ferrets as “not normally domesticated in California” by LegalizeFerrets.org. The request specifically asked for any scientific studies, internal memos, environmental risk assessments, or correspondence used to uphold the ongoing prohibition of domestic ferrets under Title 14, Section 671 of the California Code of Regulations.

Image caption: While the months fly by, we’re still waiting for answers. Our Public Records Act request to the California Fish and Game Commission has gone unanswered—just like the last 35 years of silence.

As of today – more than 90 days later – no responsive records have been produced.

We acknowledge and appreciate the professional efforts of Executive Director Melissa Miller-Henson and her staff, particularly Cynthia McKeith, who confirmed receipt of our request and committed to transparency. This is not a failure of staff, who were given an impossible task: to produce evidence that likely doesn’t exist.

“We’re not angry with the staff. In fact, we feel for them. Melissa Miller-Henson inherited a legacy of bureaucratic neglect. We’re sorry she got stuck with this,” said Pat Wright, who submitted the request. “But after 35 years of petitions being ignored or quietly denied without justification, we’re done being silent.”

The request asked for documents dating back to 1931, when the original mustelid regulation was enacted. The public has a right to know: was the ferret ban ever based on actual evidence, or has it simply persisted unchallenged?

In the absence of records, this silence speaks volumes. The California Fish and Game Commission owes the public more than a stall – it owes an explanation.

We remain committed to transparency, due process, and accountability in our campaign to legalize domestic ferrets in California. All responses, or lack thereof, will be documented publicly.

California Supreme Court Delivers Landmark Victory for Bicyclists in Whitehead v. City of Oakland

Ruling Strengthens Legal Protections and Reinforces Cities' Responsibility to Maintain Safe Roads

OAKLAND, Calif., May 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Rahman Law PC is pleased to share a powerful affirmation of bicyclists’ rights: the California Supreme Court has ruled in Whitehead v. City of Oakland (Case S284303) that public entities cannot rely on liability waivers to avoid responsibility for dangerous road conditions. The decision marks a major legal milestone for bicycle safety and public accountability across the state.

Image caption: Rahman Law PC.

The case involved cyclist Ty Whitehead, who suffered a traumatic brain injury during a charity training ride after hitting a large, obscured pothole on Skyline Boulevard in Oakland. Although Whitehead had signed a release form as part of the event, the Court ruled that such waivers cannot excuse a city from its statutory duty to maintain safe public roads. The Court unanimously found that exempting cities from liability in these cases violates California Civil Code section 1668, which prohibits contracts that waive responsibility for a violation of the law.

A pivotal amicus curiae brief supporting Whitehead was submitted by renowned bicycle attorney Shaana Rahman, founder of Rahman Law PC in San Francisco. Rahman authored the brief on behalf of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, California Bicycle Coalition (CalBike), and Bike East Bay, offering the Court a critical perspective on the real-world impact of road hazards on bicyclists and the importance of holding cities accountable for infrastructure safety. The brief helped underscore how releasing cities from liability would endanger cyclists and undermine public safety efforts statewide.

“This decision is a win not just for one rider, but for every Californian who uses a bike to get around,” said Shaana Rahman, bike lawyer and founder of Rahman Law PC. “It sends a clear message that cities must take their responsibilities seriously—especially when it comes to keeping cyclists safe.”

The ruling clarifies that municipal liability cannot be sidestepped through fine print and reaffirms that cyclists are entitled to the same legal protections as any other road user. It is especially significant at a time when more Californians are choosing bicycles for health, transportation, and environmental reasons.

Organizations across the state have applauded the Court’s decision. Shaana Rahman is calling it “a critical step forward for equity, accountability, and the safety of all who share our roads.”

Honoring Monroe’s Birthday: New Study Highlights His Drafting of America’s First Organic Territorial Law

COLONIAL BEACH, Va., April 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The James Monroe Memorial Foundation proudly announces the publication of “United States in Congress Assembled Delegate James Monroe: Architect of America’s First Organic Territorial Law,” a new paper by historian Stanley Y. Klos.

Image caption: A paper by Stanley Y. Klos.

The study highlights James Monroe’s pivotal role not only in supporting Jefferson’s 1784 Ordinance but, more critically, in drafting the original framework for the Northwest Ordinance, presented to Congress in Spring 1786.

Monroe’s draft created America’s first federal Organic Law governing U.S. territory—setting the constitutional foundation for orderly expansion, equal statehood, and protection of republican principles.

As Chairman of the Committee on the Western Lands, Monroe shaped both the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the territorial governance structure that evolved into the Northwest Ordinance of 1787—the only Organic Law enacted under both the Articles of Confederation and later reaffirmed under the U.S. Constitution.

“James Monroe’s legal vision defined how America would grow,” said Stan Klos. “He ensured that new territories would not be treated as colonies, but as future states, preserving the Revolution’s ideals.”

James Monroe’s contributions as a delegate to the United States in Congress Assembled (USCA) under the Articles of Confederation have had a profound and lasting impact on the United States, despite often being overlooked.

His key accomplishments include:

Ordinance Leadership: Played a crucial role in the creation and enactment of the Ordinance of 1784, the Land Ordinance of 1785, and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which laid the foundations for territorial governance, the abolition of slavery and indentured servitude in the Northwest Territory, and public education through land grants.
Territorial Governance Blueprint: Authored the May 1786 committee report outlining a detailed plan for transitioning territories to statehood based on population milestones, forming the backbone of the 1787 Northwest Ordinance.
Capital Relocation and Preservation: Alongside William Grayson, Monroe successfully advocated against relocating the federal government to Trenton, helping maintain the seat of government in New York through the Constitution’s drafting and ratification. This set the stage for the Residence Act of 1790 and the permanent establishment of the U.S. capital along the Potomac River.
Revolutionary Veteran Leadership: As a veteran and congressman, he participated in securing the military victories necessary for the ratification of the Treaty of Paris (1783) and helped address the mutiny at Independence Hall, prompting the relocation of the nation’s capital from Philadelphia to more secure locations.

The full paper will be published on the James Monroe Memorial Foundation website beginning April 28, 2025 – https://monroefoundation.org/2025/04/28/usca-delegate-james-monroe/

U.S. Department of Justice Closes Investigation of By Light Subsidiary Cole Engineering Services

McLEAN, Va., Feb. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — By Light Professional IT Services LLC (By Light) has been informed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that Cole Engineering Services (Cole), its wholly owned subsidiary, is no longer under investigation. Neither By Light nor Cole was ever a target of the investigation.

Image caption: By Light Professional IT Services LLC.

As previously reported by some media outlets, a search warrant was executed at By Light’s Orlando facilities in June 2024. Following this event, the company retained former senior DOJ officials to conduct an independent review of the matter on behalf of company leadership, engage with DOJ to understand the basis for the search, and work toward the resolution of the investigation.

On December 13, 2024, By Light was formally notified by DOJ through counsel that the investigation into Cole had concluded and no further action was required on the company’s part. This result is consistent with our belief that neither Cole nor any of its employees engaged in inappropriate conduct. By Light appreciates the swift resolution of the matter and the professionalism displayed by DOJ throughout the investigation.

“Throughout this process, the employees of By Light and our subsidiaries have remained laser-focused on executing the mission of our customers,” said Bob Donahue, Founder and CEO of By Light. “We continue to deliver state-of-the-art systems that increase both the readiness and lethality of our armed forces—soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines—ensuring they are equipped with the tools necessary to remain the world’s preeminent military force.”

By Light was represented in this matter by Morrison Foerster.

Save LBI Encouraged by Collapse of Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Projects, Presses on with Litigation to Ensure Permanent Victory

LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J., Feb. 11, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Save Long Beach Island (Save LBI), the non-partisan watchdog group formed in 2021 to protect the ocean and New Jersey Shore communities from the destructive impacts of offshore wind, announced today that, while it is gratified by the collapse of the controversial Atlantic Shores South projects, the organization will remain vigilant and continue the fight to ensure that these projects and the Atlantic Shores North project are canceled and never return.

Image caption: Visual simulation of Atlantic Shores South project from Holgate, New Jersey. Source: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).

The controversial Atlantic Shores South plan to erect 200 wind turbines as close as 8.7 miles off the coast of southern Long Beach Island (LBI), Brigantine, and Atlantic City, began unraveling on January 30 when Shell New Energies, which owns 50 percent of Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, announced that it would write off a billion-dollar loss and step away from the projects. The announcement came just 17 days after Save LBI filed a comprehensive federal lawsuit against the projects alleging noncompliance with five laws. Four days later, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) refused to award significant additional rate subsidies that Atlantic Shores had requested to fund the projects.

“This is a major victory for shore values, communities, and common sense,” said Bob Stern, president and co-founder of Save LBI in a letter thanking supporters. “But there is also unfinished business here to ensure that these projects, or similar ones, never reappear, and that the flawed Federal and State processes and impact-assessment methods that carried such a costly and damaging project this far are fundamentally changed.”

Stern identified several areas in which Save LBI will continue its fight to permanently end Atlantic Shores South and Atlantic Shores North, including the passage of federal legislation to remove investment tax credits and other incentives for offshore wind under the Inflation Reduction Act and the cancellation of the two wind lease areas. “We have written to U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary [Douglas] Burgum suggesting that, and will be filing a formal petition asking for cancellation,” Stern said. “Our recent federal lawsuit provides ample justification for such cancellation.”

Save LBI will also seek to overturn prior project approvals through its ongoing litigation — which if granted, would set a precedent for other cases — and continue its longstanding campaign to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale by filing a petition with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish a safe migration corridor along the East Coast. That petition, which asks NOAA to designate the corridor as critical habitat, will demonstrate that the Atlantic Shores projects and other offshore wind projects in these sensitive areas would seriously impede or block whale migration.“ We will ask that all wind projects be excluded from that critical habitat corridor,” Stern said.

Finally, Stern welcomed the new Administration’s review of the leasing and permitting practices for all offshore wind projects and urged everyone involved with Atlantic Shores South to “reflect on how a project with virtually no benefit, high cost, and significant environmental damage proceeded so far. Our work on this over the last few years showed that the entire process of site selection and project review was fundamentally flawed.

“We will continue our efforts to inform the public, the media, and our elected representatives as to the true costs and impacts of these projects, suggest improvements for the leasing, environmental review, and financing practices used, and offer constructive energy supply options to keep the lights on,” Stern concluded.

The organization is led by Beach Haven resident Bob Stern, a Ph.D. engineer with experience in environmental law who previously managed the U.S. Department of Energy’s office overseeing environment protection related to energy programs and projects. Visit SaveLBI.org for more information.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Agrees with The Nemeroff Law Firm: Recovery of Compensation by Former Employee Against Employer is in the Courtroom

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Nemeroff Law Firm is pleased to announce it has secured a landmark legal decision in favor of employees who are left without compensation because their occupational diseases developed long after their hazardous workplace exposures ended.

Image caption: Nemeroff Law Firm.

In the case of Brad Lee Herold, as Executor of the Estate of William L. Herold v. University of Pittsburgh, et al., 2025 WL 258783, — A.3d — (2025), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found the exclusivity provision of the Occupational Disease Act does not preclude an employee from seeking compensation through a civil action, when the timeliness provisions of the act operate as a de facto exclusion of coverage and preclude the historical quid pro quo or “grand bargain” between employer and employee from being effectuated.

The Herold decision builds on an earlier landmark ruling obtained more than a decade ago by the Nemeroff Law Firm in Tooey v. A.K. Steel, 81 A.3d 851 (2013) when the Supreme Court found the exclusivity provision of Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act was not implicated when the occupational disease did not develop within the act’s 300-week jurisdictional time period.

In Herold, the decedent was employed by the University of Pittsburgh for more that 40 years as a stationary engineer working on its campus facilities where he was exposed to asbestos which resulted in his development of mesothelioma some fifteen years after his exposures to asbestos ended. During litigation, the University acknowledged the court’s holding in Tooey permitted the decedent to file a civil action to obtain compensation. But it argued it was immune from civil liability under the Occupational Disease Act and its exclusive remedy provision. The University was joined by two additional state universities, amici Pennsylvania State University and Temple University. In a fifty-two (52) page opinion, the Supreme Court rejected the University’s arguments finding they would shield the employer of all potential liability and would vitiate the quid pro quo, or “grand bargain” relied upon by the employee. In the Supreme Court’s own words: “Where there is no possibility of compensation, the Grand Bargain is no bargain.”

Together, Tooey, and now Herold, help protect the rights of injured workers. “These cases deliver a powerful message from the Supreme Court on the importance of protecting employee rights in the face of the corporate negligence” said Rick Nemeroff, founder of the Nemeroff Law Firm. “We believe every employee deserves the right to reasonable compensation for his injury or disease.” According to Nemeroff, “this case demonstrates that workers should not have to suffer in silence. They have the right to seek recourse against negligent, harmful, and unfair treatment by their employers.”

But the effect of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Herold is not limited to the decedent and his family. Rather, it sets a precedent that will resonate across beyond the Commonwealth’s boundaries. According to Nemeroff, “The decision we secured in Tooey has already helped shape the law which protects workers’ rights in other states. As the excitement surrounding this victory in Herold continues, the firm hopes to inspire other attorneys and firms to take on similar cases that advocate for individual rights and protect our rights within the court system.”

The Nemeroff Law Firm has made it the firm’s mission to fight for justice, and advocate for the injured. With this win, they continue their dedication to ensuring that individuals’ voices are heard and respected within the legal system.

About Nemeroff Law Firm:

Rick Nemeroff and the attorneys of The Nemeroff Law Firm have a combined 200+ years of experience in representing victims and their families against corporate negligence and wrongdoing. The Nemeroff Law Firm specializes in mesothelioma and catastrophic personal injury cases. With a commitment to advocating for justice, the firm has established a strong reputation for its dedication to its clients and its unwavering pursuit of justice in the legal system.

New Jersey’s Save LBI Coalition Sues U.S. Agencies and Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, Challenging Federal Approvals Greenlighting Marine Ecosystem Devastation, Including Risks to Critically Endangered Whales

LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J., Jan. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Save Long Beach Island (LBI), an organization that has been actively litigating issues surrounding marine mammal, human health, economic, and other impacts connected to offshore wind industrialization off New Jersey since 2022, has filed suit against the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Marine Fisheries Service, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, U.S. Department of Interior, and the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind project for violations of a number of federal environmental statutes.

Photo caption: Visual simulation of Atlantic Shores South project from Holgate, New Jersey. Source: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).

“This lawsuit serves as the first of its kind, launching a wide-ranging challenge against Atlantic Shores’ federal approvals, based on violations of environmental statutes such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, and the Clean Air Act,” said Thomas Stavola, Jr., Esq., the attorney representing Save LBI. “We believe we have organized a compelling case that will demonstrate that these federal agencies were derelict in their respective duties to take critical information into account, and moreover, made arbitrary assumptions that entirely failed to disclose and consider the injurious impacts of the Atlantic Shores South project.”

Bob Stern, Ph.D., the primary plaintiff and president of Save LBI, further explained, “For example, the agencies assume, incorrectly, that no North Atlantic right whales will suffer injury or death as a result of the Atlantic Shores South project. The evidence contradicts that assumption. In fact, our review and independent mathematical analyses shows a systemic underestimation of impact, and clearly indicate that the noise caused by pile driving, and, soon after, perpetual operational noise, will injure and kill high numbers of marine mammals — and, yes, injure and kill a number of North Atlantic right whales, a critically endangered animal that cannot afford to suffer any deaths given their numbers are now less than 340 total.”

The lawsuit ultimately seeks to have all federal approvals rescinded and the Atlantic Shores South project halted — stopping construction and preventing devastation to marine mammal life in the NJ/NY Bight regional waters. Eight other co-plaintiffs have joined Save LBI in this action, many of whom will be severely economically impacted due to the egregious harm to the marine ecosystem and the aesthetic, recreational blight imposed on the Jersey Shore via the circa 200 1,000-foot-plus high monstrosities slated to be constructed starting less than 9 miles east of Long Beach Island.

These inexcusable damages by the Atlantic Shores South project are not limited to marine mammal devastation, but also include significant impacts to tourism, shore economies, statewide energy bills, national defense, vessel navigation, and home values — all of which have been swept under the rug by much of the mainstream media, many elected officials, the Atlantic Shores company, and the federal agencies in their inexplicable haste to approve a project still in search of a clear purpose and need.

“We hope this lawsuit will serve as the vehicle to finally illuminate the damage being wrought here and to impose significant pressure on Atlantic Shores to withdraw, as their obfuscation of the project’s true effects are indefensible. The agencies simply cannot objectively argue that their approvals were made in accordance with the best science,” concluded Bob Stern.

This lawsuit was filed in federal court in the United States for the District of New Jersey on January 10, 2025.

About Save LBI

Save Long Beach Island (Save LBI) is an organization of citizens and businesses on and off the Island working together to protect the ocean and Long Beach Island and neighboring communities from the destructive impact of the Atlantic Shores project and potentially other offshore wind projects. As a not-for-profit, non-partisan entity, we do not endorse any political candidates but vigorously pursue policies and actions that protect the Island and New Jersey communities.
