Credit Union (“Kenmore”), and counsel for defendants Fair Isaac Corporation (“Fair Isaac”),

Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. Kenmore NY Teachers Federal Credit Union v. Fair Isaac 

Corp., No. 1:20-cv-02755, ECF No. 1 (N.D. Ill. May 6, 2020).

3. Following briefing on leadership for the various related FICO cases, on September 

30, 2021, the Court granted Sky Federal’s motion for consolidation under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 42(a) and appointment of class counsel under Rule 23, appointing Scott+Scott 

Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”) as Interim Class Counsel for Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs, 

with MoloLamken LLP acting as Liaison Counsel. ECF No. 40. The Court’s order directed 

Scott+Scott to file a consolidated complaint on behalf of all Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs by October 

21, 2021. Id.

4. At the time Interim Class Counsel and Liaison Counsel were working to prepare 

the consolidated complaint, Hausfeld LLP, counsel for Plaintiff Kenmore, informed Interim Class 

Counsel that Kenmore had decided to withdraw from the litigation due to resource constraints 

caused by the COVID-19 pandemic which made it difficult for Kenmore personnel to devote time 

and resources necessary to fulfill Kenmore’s obligations as a class representative. 

5. On October 21, 2021, Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Class 

Action Complaint (the “CAC”). ECF No. 86. Consistent with Kenmore’s request, the CAC did 

not include Kenmore as a Direct Purchaser Plaintiff. 

6. On November 11, 2021, Kenmore filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal pursuant 

to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). Kenmore NY Teachers Federal Credit Union v. Fair 

Isaac Corp., No. 1:20-cv-02755, ECF No. 42 (Nov. 11, 2021).
