CFPB V. CASHCALL

As expected, the U.S. Supreme Court’s grant of Seila Law’s cert petition is impacting other cases in which the CFPB’s constitutionality has also been challenged.

NINTH CIRCUIT AFFIRMS STAY

In CFPB v. CashCall, CashCall appealed to the Ninth Circuit from the district court’s decision ordering CashCall to pay a $10 million statutory fine based on its finding that it was the “true lender” of loans issued to borrowers in 16 states. CashCall’s grounds for appeal include the district court’s rejection of its constitutional challenge to the CFPB. The Ninth Circuit heard oral argument last month. Last week, the Ninth Circuit issued an order withdrawing submission of the appeal and staying all further proceedings until the Supreme Court’s decision in Seila Law.
