DiCello Levitt, along with Founding Partner Adam Levitt and Partner Dan Schwartz, were recognized on February 13 by Law360 as Legal Lions Of The Week for a recent victory before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
On February 9, the Fourth Circuit determined that the federal district judge acted prematurely when striking all of the class allegations in a lawsuit accusing Navy Federal Credit Union of mortgage lending discrimination. The appellate court ruled that certain of Plaintiffs’ class claims should not have been dismissed before the plaintiffs had the opportunity to conduct discovery.
As a result of the ruling, the case returns to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for discovery into Navy Federal’s mortgage underwriting practices.
