On December 18, Deutsche Bank was dismissed from an RMBS action brought by the New Jersey Carpenters Health Fund regarding certificates backed by RALI and HarborView trusts. Judge Harold Baer of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motion to reconsider their motions to dismiss in light of the Second Circuit’s 2013 decision that claims brought under Section 13 of the Exchange Act are not subject to equitable tolling of the statute of limitations by a prior class action complaint. The court dismissed claims with respect to two HarborView trusts and all claims against Deutsche Bank securities as untimely because plaintiffs could no longer rely on equitable tolling. Claims against Citigroup and Goldman Sachs remain in the case. Decision.
