NEW ORLEANS (LN) — U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan dismissed with prejudice a putative class action filed by Jerome Hyde and others against Walmart Inc. on Friday, granting a joint motion that requires each side to bear its own costs.
The order, filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana, resolves Case No. 26-62. The court entered the dismissal on April 17, 2026, following the submission of the joint motion.
The order states that the plaintiffs' claims against the defendant are dismissed with prejudice. The filing does not detail specific allegations or a settlement amount.
The case involved Jerome Hyde and other unnamed plaintiffs. The specific nature of their claims against the retailer was not described in the court's filing.
Judge Morgan signed the order in New Orleans, concluding the litigation before any discovery or trial proceedings occurred.
