The remaining EFTA claim is a routine consumer dispute with trivial exposure. Monitor for any summary judgment or settlement on that claim, but no material stock impact is expected from this case.

Executive Summary
The court granted Comerica Bank's partial motion to dismiss the plaintiff's financial elder abuse claim with prejudice (no leave to amend), while the separate EFTA claim remains pending. The ruling is a procedural win for Comerica on a narrow, low-dollar individual dispute — the dismissed claim sought reimbursement of ~$5,870 in allegedly fraudulent debit card transactions. This is an interlocutory ruling on a motion to dismiss, not a final judgment on the entire case, and the financial exposure is immaterial relative to Comerica's market cap.
