What it's about

This case involved a dispute over whether a class action lawsuit could proceed against LabCorp regarding inaccessible check-in kiosks for visually impaired individuals, specifically addressing if a class can be certified when some members have not suffered a concrete injury. The Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted, leaving the lower court's decision in place without issuing a ruling on the merits.

Question presented

May a federal court certify a class action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3) when some members of the proposed class lack any Article III injury?
