A federal appeals court has dismissed a Miami-Dade city’s civil rights complaint against Wells Fargo for lack of standing.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held the City of Miami Gardens failed to establish standing in its 2014 legal action against the banking giant. In its lawsuit, the city alleged Wells Fargo violated the Fair Housing Act and deliberately discriminated against minority and low-income borrowers residing in Miami Gardens. The third amended complaint entered by the city in the Southern District of Florida contended the bank’s predatory practices between 2004 and 2008 resulted in a spate of foreclosures “disproportionately located in minority neighborhoods in Miami Gardens.”
