What happened
A proposed class action was filed by Raven Jackson and Karlo Peralta against Certified Employment Screening Inc., doing business as Americhek's, a company that provides employment background screening services. The available docket entries do not include the complaint's specific allegations, but the case was apparently brought on behalf of a class of individuals affected by the company's screening practices. The parties later filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the case.
