Chase Bank must file the directed letter by November 16, 2023. The opinion does not state any separate obligation imposed on Michael Mctague.
What happened
In Mctague v. Chase Bank, the court directed Chase Bank to file a letter about two issues: whether the federal court has authority to hear the case and whether removal is proper.
The letter must rely on binding case law and may not exceed three pages. Chase Bank must file it by November 16, 2023.
Judge Dale E. Ho issued the order on October 26, 2023; the court did not decide jurisdiction, removal, or the underlying dispute.
