United States First Circuit

In a suit by a law firm claiming that a bank on which a check was drawn violated Regulation CC by failing to notify the law firm's bank in a timely manner that it would not honor the check, and that it had negligently breached a duty it owed the law firm under Regulation CC, the district court's grant of a motion to dismiss is affirmed, where: 1) the claim of violation of Regulation CC was time-barred, and equitable tolling did not apply; and 2) the state claim was preempted by federal law.
