Kilgore v. KeyBank
September 10, 2010 Update
On August 30, 2010 Pinnacle Law Group LLP filed the Opening Brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit seeking reversal of the District Court's Order dismissing the suit against KeyBank. A copy of the Opening Brief can be found here. On September 3, 2010 the Attorney General of the State of Montana filed an amicus brief ("friend of the court" brief) in support of our appeal. Since then, the Attorney Generals from the States of Washington, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, Oklahoma and Oregon joined in Montana's brief. The Montana brief can be found here. On September 8, 2010 the National Consumer Law Center, the National Association of Consumer Advocates and the National Consumers League also filed an amicus brief in support of our Appeal which can be found here. We are very grateful for this support and believe it speaks volumes about the merit of our Appeal.
KeyBank will file an opposition to our Opening Brief and we will then file a reply brief to their opposition. Thereafter, the Ninth Circuit will set a hearing date on the Appeal (which likely will not happen until 2011). We will continually update this site as events warrant. As mentioned in the "July 2010 Update" (link below), if you have any questions, please contact us at keybanklitigation@gmail.com. However, because we are counsel for the proposed class, we are unable at this time to give you individual advice but we do want to give you an update on the status of the case so you and your lawyer can assess your individual situation. Thank you for your support.
