Summary

A CourtListener copy of the docket in Sport & Wheat CPA PA v. ServisFirst Bank Inc., 3:20-cv-05425 (N.D. Fla.), filed in the agent fee litigation.

It shows motions to dismiss by the bank defendants. On Sep 4, 2020, the court denied leave to amend and dismissed the case with prejudice, and the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on Sep 9, 2020.
