What happened
A proposed class action against the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, apparently involving allegations of fraud. The caption lists multiple individual plaintiffs and a nature-of-suit code for 'Other Fraud,' but the provided docket text is limited to appellate entries and does not detail the specific allegations. The case appears to be part of a larger multidistrict litigation with related cases.
