Memo of Points and Authorities — Bofa Ca Unemployment (Dkt. 146.1)
Summary
Bank of America, N.A.'s memorandum of points and authorities in support of its partial motion to dismiss the first amended master consolidated complaint under Rule 12(b)(6), in In re Bank of America California Unemployment Benefits Litigation, Case No. 21-MD-02992-LAB-MSB, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, filed 07/11/23 as Document 146-1 (36 pages) for an October 2, 2023 hearing. The case concerns California unemployment benefits paid on prepaid debit cards the bank issued under a contract with the Employment Development Department. The bank argues that claims the plaintiffs did not amend after the court's earlier order should be dismissed with prejudice. It also argues that the amendments of the freeze only plaintiffs still fail to state a claim under EFTA and that Jennifer Yick's amendments doom her contract claim. These are the bank's arguments.

(“BANA”) pursuant to a contract with the state agency responsible for administration of unemployment benefits, the California Employment Development Department (“EDD”). The Court previously examined Plaintiffs’ lengthy Master Consolidated Complaint (Dkt. 72) thoroughly and in detail in response to BANA’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. 84). The Court’s Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part BANA’s Motion to Dismiss the Master Consolidated Complaint (“MTD Order”) (Dkt. 126) allowed some claims and theories to proceed, dismissed some with prejudice, and dismissed others with leave to amend, giving Plaintiffs very clear explanations of the deficiencies and equally clear instructions for amendment. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs’ First Amended Master Consolidated Complaint (“FAMCC”) (Dkt. 136) continues to suffer from fatal deficiencies with respect to certain claims and theories. Those claims and theories, which do not satisfy either the requirements of Rule 12(b)(6) or the standards articulated by the Court in the MTD Order, must now be dismissed with prejudice. BANA therefore files this partial motion to dismiss in order to address two principal defects in the FAMCC: First, with respect to certain of the claims and legal theories that were dismissed with leave to amend, Plaintiffs chose not to exercise that leave, conceding (in multiple places) that they “are unable to amend this claim at this time.” See e.g., FAMCC at p. 280, n.33. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs continue to assert those claims in the FAMCC. Because Plaintiffs concede that they cannot remedy the deficiencies identified by the Court, those claims and legal theories (including claims for violations of the California Consumer Privacy Act based on BANA’s handling of Plaintiffs’ personal information, the entirety of the California Customer Records Act claim, Case 3:21-md-02992-GPC-MSB Document 146-1 Filed 07/11/23 PageID.1800 Page 4 of 36 2 PARTIAL MTD FAMCC CASE NO. 21-MD-02992-LAB-MSB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 claims for negligence per se based on violations of the California Financial Information Privacy Act and California Customer Records Act, and nearly every Plaintiff’s breach of contract claim) should now be dismissed with prejudice. Second, certain of Plaintiffs’ attempts at amendment fail. Numerous individual Plaintiffs continue to fail to allege a “qualifying error” as required to state an EFTA claim. And Plaintiff Yick’s amended allegation that she has been reimbursed by BANA dooms her contract claim for the reasons previously articulated by the Court. BANA asks that the Court dismiss these claims with prejudice as well. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Plaintiffs filed a number of individual and class actions against BANA in the federal district courts in California, challenging BANA’s efforts to manage the unprecedented surge in unemployment fraud prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2021, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the actions in this district. (Dkt. 1). The Court ordered Plaintiffs to file a Master Consolidated Complaint, which they did in August 2021. (Dkt. 72). BANA moved to dismiss the Master Consolidated Complaint (Dkt. 84), and on May 25, 2023, this Court issued the MTD Order which granted in part and denied in part BANA’s motion. (Dkt. 126). With respect to the parts of BANA’s motion that were granted, certain of Plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed with prejudice, and certain of Plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed with leave to amend. See generally, MTD Order. On June 13, 2023, Plaintiffs filed the FAMCC. (Dkt. 136). ARGUMENT I. THE DISMISSED CLAIMS THAT PLAINTIFFS FAILED TO AMEND SHOULD BE DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. In the MTD Order, this Court dismissed with leave to amend certain claims entirely and certain claims with respect to some theories but not others. See Case 3:21-md-02992-GPC-MSB Document 146-1 Filed 07/11/23 PageID.1801 Page 5 of 36 3 PARTIAL MTD FAMCC CASE NO. 21-MD-02992-LAB-MSB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 generally, MTD Order. On a number of these claims and theories, Plaintiffs failed to exercise the leave granted by the MTD Order and conceded in the FAMCC that they “are unable to amend this claim at this time.” See e.g., FAMCC at p. 280, n.33. Those claims and theories should now be dismissed with prejudice.1 In this Circuit, it is undisputed that dismissal with prejudice is appropriate when leave to amend is granted but not exercised. See Lazar v. City of Los Angeles, 2010 WL 1583566, *1 (9th Cir. April 21, 2010) (“dismissal of the complaint with prejudice” appropriate where plaintiff “failed to amend the complaint after obtaining leave to do so”); Gerson Inst. v. Huntington, 2011 WL 883762, *4 (S.D. Cal. March 11, 2011) (“Because [Plaintiff] has failed to amend these claims successfully, they will be dismissed without leave to amend.”); see also Beaver v. Omni Hotels Mgmt. Corp., 2021 WL 5042116, *2 n.3 (S.D. Cal. Oct. 29, 2021) (“As Plaintiffs chose not to amend [certain claims that were dismissed with leave], the Court dismisses those causes of action without leave to amend.”). This rule applies to claims that were dismissed entirely as well as to dismissals of particular theories. See, e.g., Watson v. Bank of Am., N.A., 2016 WL 6581846, *4-9 (S.D. Cal. Nov. 7, 2016) (dismissing claims based on some but not all legal theories with prejudice after plaintiff failed to amend after leave); Sanders v. Laidlaw Educ. Srvcs., 2006 WL 8441688, * 3 (C.D. Cal. April 12, 2006) (dismissing Title VII claim based on retaliation theory “with prejudice” for failure to amend that theory “in a meaningful manner” after being previously granted leave to do so). 1 The FAMCC also continues to improperly assert claims that the MTD Order dismissed with prejudice, including claims for violations of the California Unfair Competition Law (Claim 4), contract claims on behalf of Plaintiffs who have been fully reimbursed (Claim 7), breach of implied contract claims (Claim 8), and claims for breach of contract as third-party beneficiaries of BANA’s contract with EDD (Claims 11 and 12). These claims were fully and permanently dismissed by the MTD Order, are no longer part of this case, and require no response. See Rupe v. Cate, 2012 WL 259387, *2 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 26, 2012) (“When answering Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint, Defendants do not need to respond to the [previously] dismissed claims . . . .”). BANA will address Plaintiffs’ arguments for reconsideration of the Court’s dismissal of their California Unfair Competition Law claims (Claim 4) if the Court allows Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Motion for Leave to File Motion for Reconsideration. (Dkt. 141).

Plaintiffs also concede that they cannot amend their allegations to state a breach of contract claim (Claim 7) for those Plaintiffs whose claims were dismissed in the MTD Order. See FAMCC at p. 297, n.36. Plaintiffs brought breach of contract claims against BANA for alleged breach of the Cardholder Agreement based on three theories: first, Plaintiffs alleged that BANA breached the claim investigation and reimbursement provisions contained in Section 9 and Section 11 of the Cardholder Agreement; second, Plaintiffs alleged that BANA breached the provisions in Section 2 of the Cardholder Agreement that allow BANA to freeze accounts on suspicion of fraud; and third, Plaintiffs alleged that BANA breached provisions in Section 2 of the Cardholder Agreement that require BANA to fund accounts at EDD’s instruction. On Plaintiffs’ first theory, the Section 9 and 11 contract claims brought by Plaintiffs who alleged their claims were reimbursed by BANA were dismissed with prejudice. See MTD Order at 51.2 The remaining Section 9 2 As noted supra note 1, Plaintiffs continue to assert the contract claims of fully- reimbursed Plaintiffs despite their dismissal with prejudice. The FAMCC’s allegations that certain Plaintiffs who were fully credited did not receive interest (see, Case 3:21-md-02992-GPC-MSB Document 146-1 Filed 07/11/23 PageID.1803 Page 7 of 36 5 PARTIAL MTD FAMCC CASE NO. 21-MD-02992-LAB-MSB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 and 11 claims were dismissed with leave to amend as to all Plaintiffs except for Plaintiffs Yick, Smith, Burns, and Horath, whose Section 9 and 11 contract claims were allowed to proceed. MTD Order at 52. (However, Plaintiff Yick’s amendments regarding reimbursement doom her contract claim, as explained infra at 8.) On Plaintiffs’ second theory, the Section 2 contract claims based on account freezes were dismissed with leave to amend as to all Plaintiffs. MTD Order at 53, 54. On Plaintiffs’ third theory, the Section 2 contract claims based on EDD instructions were also dismissed with leave to amend as to all Plaintiffs. Id. As to all the contract claims that were dismissed with leave to amend (under all three theories), the FAMCC concedes that “Plaintiffs are unable to amend those claims at this time.” FAMCC at 302, n.36. Therefore, the contract claims as to all Plaintiffs, except for the Section 9 and 11 theories for Plaintiffs Smith, Burns and Horath, should now be dismissed with prejudice (to be clear, Plaintiffs Smith, Burns and Horath’s contract claims under the second and third theories, based on alleged violations of Section 2, should also be dismissed with prejudice).3 II. PLAINTIFFS’ AMENDMENTS ARE INSUFFICIENT TO CURE THE DEFICIENCIES IDENTIFIED IN THE MTD ORDER. As for the dismissed claims that Plaintiffs attempted to amend, certain of those attempts still fail. A number of individual Plaintiffs continue to fail to plead a “qualifying error” as required to state an EFTA claim. And Plaintiff Yick’s e.g., FAMCC at ¶¶ 159, 169) do not save these contract claims from dismissal because (i) the Cardholder Agreement does not provide for interest, and (ii) those Plaintiffs whose contract claims were previously dismissed on the basis of reimbursement were dismissed with prejudice, and cannot be resurrected through amendment. Partanen v. W. U.S. Pipe Band Ass’n, 2021 WL 5145246, at *14 (E.D. Cal., Nov. 4, 2021). 3 A list of the Plaintiffs whose Section 9 and 11 contract claims in the FAMCC are subject to dismissal are identified in Column E of Appendix A filed herewith (all Plaintiffs’ Section 2 contract claims should be dismissed with prejudice for failure to amend those allegations).

These claims also should be dismissed with prejudice. A. The “Freeze Only” Plaintiffs’ Amendments Still Do Not State A Claim Under EFTA. First, individual Plaintiffs who continue to allege only account freezes or restrictions do not state a claim under EFTA. As the Court held, “[n]either EFTA nor Reg E lists account freezes as a qualifying error.” MTD Order at 15; see also 15 U.S.C. § 1693f(f); 12 C.F.R. § 1005.11(a)(1). Plaintiffs conceded as much, but argued that a request for “additional information” is among the “qualifying errors” specified in EFTA and its implementing Regulation, Regulation E. See MTD Order at 15. The Court dismissed the EFTA claims of those individual Plaintiffs “who reported account freezes only,” subject to their ability to plead that they made information requests to BANA that were “qualifying error[s]” under the statute. MTD Order at 15-16. In the FAMCC, certain individual Plaintiffs amended their freeze-only allegations to provide additional information about their account freezes, recharacterize their account freezes as “restricted access” to their accounts, and allege that they asked BANA for “additional information regarding the restriction.” See, e.g., Plaintiff Flores, FAMCC ¶ 357.4 These allegations still fail to state a claim under EFTA. Both EFTA and Regulation E contain provisions defining qualifying errors for purposes of the statute. See 15 U.S.C. § 1693f(f) (EFTA definition of “acts constituting error”); 12 C.F.R. § 1005.11(a) (Reg E “[d]efinition of error”). As the Court recognized in the MTD Order (at 15-16), both definitions make clear that an information request must concern an electronic fund transfer to qualify as an error under the statute: EFTA’s information request provision states that a qualifying “error” includes “a consumer’s request for additional information or clarification 4 A list of the Plaintiffs whose EFTA claims in the FAMCC still fail to allege a qualifying error and therefore are subject to dismissal are identified in Column D of Appendix A filed herewith.

In Hardin v. Bank of Am., N.A., another case regarding BANA’s handling of pandemic fraud claims, the court clarified the narrow scope of the qualifying error definitions, dismissing the plaintiffs’ EFTA claims even though they had requested information from BANA about their accounts because the requests did not specifically concern an electronic fund transfer. See Hardin v. Bank of Am., N.A., 2022 WL 3568568, *3 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 18, 2022). As the court explained, “requests for additional information or clarification apply only to requests ‘concerning an electronic fund transfer.’” Id. (emphasis added). The court found that because “[n]either [plaintiff] requested information or clarification about an electronic funds transfer,” their allegations about requests for additional information from BANA were not qualifying errors and thus did not state a claim under EFTA. Id. (emphasis added). The freeze- or restricted access-only Plaintiffs’ allegations in the FAMCC, even as amended, fail for the same reason. These Plaintiffs allege only that they called BANA to request, for example, “all the information [BANA] relied upon which caused the freeze of [the] account,” (Plaintiff Blacksands, FAMCC ¶ 309) or “additional information regarding the restriction” (Plaintiff Flores, FAMCC ¶ 357). None of them allege that their calls to BANA regarding their frozen or restricted accounts were “request[s] for additional information or clarification concerning an electronic fund transfer” as required by EFTA. 15 U.S.C. § 1693f(f)(6) (emphasis Case 3:21-md-02992-GPC-MSB Document 146-1 Filed 07/11/23 PageID.1806 Page 10 of 36 8 PARTIAL MTD FAMCC CASE NO. 21-MD-02992-LAB-MSB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 added); see also 12 C.F.R. § 1005.11(a)(1)(vii). None of these Plaintiffs have identified the electronic fund transfer that they sought information or clarification about. In fact, these Plaintiffs make no allegations regarding any electronic fund transfers on their accounts at all; rather, their allegations are that they sought information about freezes or restrictions that prevented transfers on their accounts. Their EFTA claims therefore do not allege a “qualifying error,” and should be dismissed with prejudice. B. Plaintiff Jennifer Yick’s Amendments Doom Her Contract Claim. Second, Plaintiff Yick’s Section 9 and 11 contract claim should now be dismissed, with prejudice, because Yick amended her allegations to state that her unauthorized transaction claims have been reimbursed in full by BANA. FAMCC ¶ 126. Under the MTD Order, “any Plaintiff that has been completely reimbursed can’t recover contract damages, and can’t state a claim for breach of contract.” MTD Order at p. 51. Thus, Yick’s Section 9 and 11 contract claim, as amended, must be dismissed with prejudice (as noted above, Yick’s contract claims based on both theories of alleged violations of Section 2 were dismissed with leave to amend by the MTD Order, at 53-54, and should now be dismissed with prejudice because Yick failed to amend those allegations, see supra 5-6).5 CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, BANA respectfully requests that the Court dismiss the following claims and theories with prejudice: EFTA claims for those Plaintiffs who allege only an account freeze or restriction, as identified in Column D of Appendix A (Claim 1); 5 Other Plaintiffs also amended their allegations to reflect either that they have been reimbursed by BANA (e.g., Plaintiff Zoelle, FAMCC ¶ 249) or that they cannot plead that they have not been reimbursed by BANA (e.g., Plaintiff Hicks, FAMCC ¶ 260, n. 17, and Plaintiff Blankenship, FAMCC ¶ 284, both conceding they do not know whether they were reimbursed). These Plaintiffs’ contract claims were already dismissed with leave to amend, and should now be dismissed with prejudice, as explained supra at 5-6, due to Plaintiffs’ inability to amend. Their amendments regarding reimbursement provide yet another reason to dismiss their contract claims with prejudice.
