Executive Summary
The Third Circuit summarily affirmed the dismissal with prejudice of a lawsuit against Blue Foundry Bancorp (BLFY) by the Arsenis family, who sought over $100 million in damages related to a mortgage forbearance dispute. The appellate court found no private right of action under the CARES Act, National Banking Act, or Fifth Amendment, and upheld the district court's ruling that the complaint failed to state any federal claim. This final, complete victory removes a material litigation overhang for BLFY.
