A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker facing a possible lifetime ban from the banking industry sued the Federal Reserve, claiming the regulator is taking too long to reach a final decision in his case.

Joseph Jiampietro asked a federal court in Manhattan Wednesday to force the Fed to dismiss its internal enforcement action against him or to finalize a decision in the case so he can appeal. An administrative law judge recommended the ban last year over Jiampietro’s alleged misuse of information taken from the Fed to help Goldman Sachs get business.
