Executive Summary

The court granted plaintiff's motion to file a second amended complaint in a website accessibility class action against Ralph Lauren Corp, but denied Ralph Lauren's motion to seal certain material. The amendment does not add new claims, classes, or defendants and does not change the class certification order — it merely conforms pleadings to existing evidence. This is a routine procedural ruling with no material financial impact.
