<div id="readability-page-1"><div><p>The Conference of State Bank Supervisors celebrated an appellate court's decision not to grant a request by Flagstar Bank for the full panel in an interest-on-escrow case.</p><p>The organization used the ruling to call on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to end its efforts to create a national preemption. This whole situation was muddied by a U.S. Supreme Court decision in a related state versus national banking law case.</p><p>In the latest move, by a two-to-one vote, Flagstar Bank was denied both a panel rehearing and an en banc hearing by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which had previously affirmed a prior decision upholding California's law.<br/></p><h2>How a U.S. Supreme Court ruling affected this case</h2><p>The case went back to the court following the Supreme Court's decision in Cantero v. Bank of America, involving a similar law in New York. In its Cantero ruling, the high court did not definitively declare whether or not the National Banking Act has precedence over state banking law.</p><p>Unlike the Ninth Circuit in Kivett v. Flagstar, the Second Circuit had ruled in favor of B of A, creating a split.</p><p>Following Cantero, the Supreme Court granted Flagstar's petition to vacate Kivett and remanded it back to the Ninth Circuit.</p><p>After a panel rehearing in October, on a two-to-one vote, the court upheld the prior decision against the bank.</p><p>In a ruling filed on March 26, the three judges who initially heard the case voted the same way regarding both a further rehearing by them, Jay Bybee and Susan Bolton in favor of Kivett and Ryan Nelson in support of Flagstar.</p><p>This also applied on whether to recommend moving the case to the full court; in addition, no other judge on the appellate court's bench requested a vote, the single page ruling said.</p><p>However, this could all be for naught. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in December fielded two proposals that would resolve the issue in favor of the national banks.</p><p>Earlier this month, Jonathan Gould, head of the OCC, reiterated hisstrong support for the federal preemption.<br/></p><h2>How state regulators feel about this latest ruling</h2><p>This latest case reaffirms &#34;the appropriately high bar for preemption&#34; created by the Cantero decision, a statement from the Conference of State Bank Supervisors said.</p><p>&#34;The OCC has ignored that standard and Congress's clear direction, instead proposing a much lower threshold to preempt state laws it deems 'inefficient,' 'inflexible,' or 'unusual,'&#34; CSBS continued.</p><p>&#34;State interest-on-escrow laws do not prevent or significantly interfere with national bank powers and have long protected homeowners,&#34; the group continued, calling on OCC to withdraw its &#34;unlawful proposals.&#34;</p><p>A request for comment was made to Flagstar.</p><p>However, the bank is no longer in the mortgage servicing business. In 2024, it sold the portfolio to Mr. Cooper, which on Oct. 1 became a part of Rocket Cos.</p></div></div>
