the Bank of America has urged Judge William P. Dimitrouleas in Miami to dismiss Miami 's latest allegations of discriminatory lending, arguing that the city failed to support its claims under the Fair Housing Act . Bank of America late May 16 asked Judge William P. Dimitrouleas of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to dismiss the suit with prejudice. Florida claims the bank engaged in traditional redlining “by refusing to extend mortgage credit to minority borrowers in Miami on equal terms as to non-minority borrowers,” and practiced so-called reverse redlining “by extending mortgage credit on discriminatory terms to minority borrowers in minority neighbourhoods in Miami on the basis of the race or ethnicity of its residents.”
