Plaintiff alleges that Defendant, Dragonfly Energy Corporation (“Dragonfly”), ran background and/or credit reports through the company Sentrylink without proper legal notification, resulting in his offer of employment being rescinded after he had moved from Florida to Reno, Nevada. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant Dragonfly violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and NRS 613.520’s core protections by procuring a background and credit report on employees and job applications without proposing legal notification that a background and credit report would be procured. Plaintiff further alleges that Dragonfly willfully and systematically violated 15 U.S.C § 1681b(b)(2)(A)(i) by procuring consumer reports on Plaintiff and other putative class members for employment purposes, without first making the proper disclosures.
The Parties engaged in extensive settlement negotiations regarding the strengths of their respective positions. The Parties reached a settlement on an individual basis for the Plaintiff.
