September 9, 2022 Filing 5 Letter responding to the Court's Order to Show Cause by Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC (Little, Brendan)
August 18, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: On August 16, 2022, the Defendant Sequium Asset Solutions filed a #1 notice of removal of Plaintiff's lawsuit brought under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"). Plaintiff alleges that Defendant's FDCPA violations have forced him to hire a lawyer, lowered his credit score by approximately 90 points, caused him to lose sleep, and "made Plaintiff feel nervous, uncomfortable and terribly frustrated." (ECF No. 1-1 paras. 46-50) He seeks statutory and actual damages, costs including attorney's fees and expenses, interest and other relief.The United States Supreme Court has held that, even where a defendant's conduct is prohibited by statute, a plaintiff may not have standing to sue in federal court if the plaintiff has not suffered a concrete injury. See TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez, 141 S. Ct. 2190, 2205 (2021) ("[A]n important difference exists between (i) a plaintiff's statutory cause of action to sue a defendant over the defendant's violation of federal law, and (ii) a plaintiff's suffering concrete harm because of the defendant's violation of federal law."). In interpreting TransUnion, the Second Circuit has reiterated that "plaintiffs must show that the statutory violation caused them a concrete harm, regardless of whether the statutory rights violated were substantive or procedural." Maddox v. Bank of New York Mellon Trust Co., N.A., 19 F.4th 58, 64 n.2 (2d Cir. 2021). Courts in this district have applied that principle in FDCPA cases to find that a plaintiff lacks Article III standing where he does not set forth any concrete, particularized injuries apart from alleged statutory violations. See Grauman v. Equifax Info. Servs., LLC, 549 F. Supp. 3d 285 (E.D.N.Y. 2021); Bush v. Optio Sols., LLC, 551 F. Supp. 3d 66 (E.D.N.Y. 2021).By September 9, 2022, Defendant is required to file a letter showing cause why the undersigned should not respectfully recommend to the District Judge that this case be remanded to state court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Vera M. Scanlon on 8/18/2022. (Scully, Nicole)
