The three cases listed in the litigation records — Harper v. Ford Motor Company (GAND, filed 2019), Jackson v. Bennett (GASD, filed 2012), and Mainor v. Lazer Spot Inc (GAND, filed 2011) — predate or fall outside Barnes's documented GDC leadership tenures, name other primary defendants, and do not appear on their face to involve Barnes in a GDC capacity. GPS has not independently confirmed Barnes's role, if any, in those matters.
