Description

This is an interlocutory appeal from two orders, one denying a motion to dismiss, the other denying summary judgment. Appellee Ardelle Williams, a trustee in bankruptcy (Trustee), filed an action for violation of the federal securities laws against California First Bank (CFB or Bank) on behalf of the bankrupts estate. Appellant CFB filed two motions in response: (1) a motion to dismiss on the ground that the Trustee has no standing; (2) a motion for summary judgment confirming the Banks right to assert in pari delicto defenses against the Trustee. CFB appeals the denial of both its motions. We reverse the denial of the motion to dismiss.
