United States Ninth Circuit

In a California Unfair Competition Law action brought on behalf of an ostensible class of California holders of credit cards issued by Chase, arising from charges and fees incurred by plaintiffs in cashing "convenience checks" sent by Chase, judgment on the pleadings for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the National Bank Act preempts the disclosure requirements of Cal. Civ. Code 1748.9, insofar as those requirements apply to national banks; and 2) other claims were preempted by the NBA and applicable regulations, as well.
