Alice Lin v. JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.

I. BACKGROUND

Lin brought this action against Defendants in California state court. (See Compl., Doc. 1-1, Ex. A.) An unknown non-party defrauded Lin, an elderly woman, out of $720,000 of her retirement savings. (Id. ¶ 4.) The non-party perpetuated the fraud by having Lin wire money out of her Chase account. (See id. ¶ 13.) Lin sued Defendants— Chase and McMurray, a Branch Manager at Chase—under California state law for financial elder abuse and violation of the Unfair Competition Law for failing to flag Lin’s wire transfers as suspicious and instead processing them. (See id. ¶¶ 72–94.)

1 Lin twice filed both her motion to remand and her reply in support of that motion. Going forward, Lin shall refrain from making duplicative filings. _____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________
