Onisko Scholz v. Lendistry

Case summary

Onisko and Scholz, LLP, Paul Scholz and Cindy Schoelen sued B.S.D. Capital, Inc., doing business as Lendistry, in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on October 28, 2024, bringing sixteen claims under California law on behalf of a putative class and alleging that Lendistry accessed class members' bank accounts without consent to data mine them. Lendistry removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, No. 2:24-cv-10314, on November 27, 2024. The page carries the order of June 24, 2025, Entry 47, in which Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong granted the plaintiffs' request for judicial notice and motion to remand, found that Lendistry had not met its burden to establish the diversity required for removal, sent the case back to the Los Angeles County Superior Court and denied Lendistry's motion to dismiss as moot, and a CourtListener docket listing. The listing records the removal, the motion to remand of December 6, 2024, the motion to dismiss of January 3, 2025 and, on October 27, 2025, an order granting in part the plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees and awarding $26,520. The hosted docket listing shows that fee order as the latest entry.
