Molinari V. Audiophile Music Direct, Inc. Et Al
This is a lawsuit filed by a plaintiff on behalf of a group of individuals who purchased vinyl record albums from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Inc. and its parent company, Music Direct, during a specific time period.

The lawsuit is based on diversity of citizenship and is being heard in the Northern District of California. The plaintiff is seeking damages, restitution, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs, and has brought claims for breach of express warranty, breach of contract, fraud, violations of unfair competition/consumer protection laws, and unjust enrichment against both defendants. The proposed class definitions may be modified or narrowed as appropriate based on further investigation and discovery. The plaintiff has requested a trial by jury on all issues that are triable.
