Former Countrywide Financial Corp. Chief Executive Officer Angelo Mozilo asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed against the Bank of America Corp. unit by Allstate Corp.
Ronald P. Fischetti, a New York attorney representing Mozilo, urged U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein in Manhattan to throw out the insurer’s claims that Mozilo was the “architect” of a scheme to abandon underwriting at Countrywide, according to a court document filed today.
