The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit against credit rating agencies for misleading and inaccurate credit ratings of mortgage securities.
Specifically, the appeals court affirmed the decision of the lower court, The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, "dismissing plaintiffs’ complaints seeking to hold the rating agency defendants liable as underwriters or control persons for misstatements or omissions in securities offering documents in violation of §§ 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933."
