What does Collins want ? (19-422 SCOTUS)

19-422 Collins v. Mnuchin……………Common & Preferred
Supreme court https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/collins-v-mnuchin/

This case started on Oct-20-2016, and was Assigned To: Nancy Friedman Atlas (Democratic)
16-03113 https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4533994/collins-v-lew/

First let’s take a look at the prayer for relief:

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
190. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray for an order and judgment:
a. Declaring that the Net Worth Sweep, and its adoption, are not in accordance with and violate HERA within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(C), that Treasury acted arbitrarily and capriciously within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A) by executing the Net Worth Sweep, and that FHFA’s structure violates the separation of powers;
b. Enjoining Treasury and its officers, employees, and agents to return to Fannie and Freddie all dividend payments made pursuant to the Net Worth Sweep or, alternatively, recharacterizing such payments as a pay down of the liquidation preference and a corresponding redemption of Treasury’s Government Stock rather than mere dividends;
c. Vacating and setting aside the Net Worth Sweep, including its provision sweeping all of the Companies’ net worth to Treasury every quarter;
d. Enjoining FHFA and its officers, employees, and agents from implementing, applying, or taking any action whatsoever pursuant to the Net Worth Sweep;
e. Enjoining Treasury and its officers, employees, and agents from implementing, applying, or taking any action whatsoever pursuant to the Net Worth Sweep;
f. Awarding Plaintiffs their reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in bringing this action; and
g. Granting such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.

Respectfully submitted,
Beck Redden LLP

Then The case was terminated on may-22-2017 https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txsd.1391317/gov.uscourts.txsd.1391317.52.0_1.pdf

And on may-30-2017 the case was appealed in the 5th circuit of appeals
17-20364 https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/7447843/patrick-collins-v-steven-mnuchin-secretary/ and on July-16-2018 the 5th circuit came with following conclusion :

III. CONCLUSION
We AFFIRM the district court’s order granting the Agencies’ motions to dismiss the Shareholders’ APA claims because such claims are barred by 12 U.S.C. § 4617(f).
We REVERSE the district court’s order granting the Agencies’ motion for summary judgment regarding the Shareholders’ claim that the FHFA is unconstitutionally structured in violation of Article II and the Constitution’s separation of powers, and we REMAND to the district court with instructions to enter judgment declaring the “for cause” limitation on removal of the FHFA’s Director found in 12 U.S.C. § 4512(b)(2) violates the Constitution’s separation-of-powers principles.
https://www.courtlistener.com/pdf/2018/07/16/patrick_collins_v._steven_mnuchin_secretar.pdf

The case was remanded from the 5th circuit (17-20364) back to Judge Nancy F Atlas in District Court, S.D. Texas. (16-03113)

Then on sept-30-2019 Collins filed a Petition for a writ of certiorari in the SCOTUS,
and the government filed on Oct-29-2019 a petition for a writ of certiorari in the SCOTUS

Patrick J. Collins v. Steven T. Mnuchin
https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docket/docketfiles/html/public\19-422.html
(DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/10/2020)

Mnuchin v. Patrick J. Collins
https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/19-563.html


So now we know Judge Atlas will “enter judgment declaring the “for cause” limitation on removal of the FHFA’s Director found in 12 U.S.C. § 4512(b)(2) violates the Constitution’s separation-of-powers principles.” As ordered by the 5th circuit

As a result of the removing the “for cause” and replacing it with “At-Will” the FHFA is no longer an independent agency, and can no longer be funded thru FnF, as the FHFA agency now is a government agency that receives it funding from the appropriation act, and of course the distributed funds from 12 years,(2008-2020), to operate the Agency(FHFA) need to be returned.
“FHFA issues assessment notices to the regulated entities semi-annually, with the collections occurring October 1 and April 1.”

really great stuff in this document start at page 27

Another result is, HERA now is in conflict with the constitution, and all the frivolous payment demands in SEC. 1106. ASSESSMENTS. (page 2669) will be voided

That is where we stand today, awaiting a ruling on the 3th amendment by Judge Atlas.
