    Case filed

What happened

A putative class action brought by Santori Little, Charles Gray, and Tamara Khelifa against the City of Valley, Alabama, and Amwaste, LLC. The nature-of-suit code is 'Other Civil Rights,' and the appellate docket entries do not detail the underlying allegations. The case appears to involve civil rights claims against a municipality and a waste contractor; these are allegations only, not proven facts.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
