On January 27, 2024, the United States filed this suit in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Tennessee against Patriot Bank to challenge their unlawful pattern and practice of redlining. Plaintiff brought suit under the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601–3619 and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1691–1691f to remedy discrimination in Patriot’s residential mortgage lending. The complaint alleged Defendant avoided providing home loans and other mortgage services in majority-Black and Hispanic neighborhoods in and around Memphis, Tennessee from 2015 through at least 2020. Plaintiffs urged the court to declare Defendant's conduct in violation of the FHA and ECOA, and sought injunctive relief barring Defendant and all other persons in active concert or participation with them from actively discriminating or otherwise neglecting statutory duty.

This case is now closed.
