AIG Bid to Move BofA Lawsuit to State Court Denied by Judge
American International Group Inc. (AIG)’s request to move a $10 billion lawsuit against Bank of America Corp. (BAC) to state court from federal court was denied by a U.S. judge.
AIG in August sued Bank of America in New York state court over $10 billion in losses on mortgage-bond investments. Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America then moved the case to federal court.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones in Manhattan denied New York-based AIG’s request to return the case to state court in an order dated yesterday.
The case is American International Group Inc. v. Bank of America Corp., 11-06212, U.S. District Court. Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
