Countrywide Plaintiffs Seek To Keep Suits Separate

Law.com reports:

• Six plaintiffs, including Calif. Attorney General Jerry Brown, will ask a federal panel on Thursday to keep their individual lawsuits against Countrywide Financial Corp. untangled and out of a single federal court. Lawyers for Brown, the state of Illinois, the city of San Diego and plaintiffs in three private class actions say their claims against the troubled mortgage lender would be better heard in local courts close to regional foreclosure hot spots.
