What happened
This is a proposed class action against United Network for Organ Sharing, apparently concerning civil rights issues related to organ transplant allocation or access. The plaintiff, Thompson, alleges that the organization's policies or practices violated the civil rights of transplant candidates or recipients. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.
