What happened

This is a proposed class action against Wilson, apparently concerning civil rights claims. The docket metadata does not provide specific allegations, but the case is classified under the court's 'other civil rights' nature of suit. These are allegations in a newly filed case, 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.
