  • A Fort Worth federal judge criticized the U.S. Chamber while denying their request to expedite a decision on an injunction motion.
  • Judge Pittman, on his own, ordered expedited briefing on venue for a challenge to a federal rule on credit card late fees.
  • Pittman said the Fort Worth docket is overloaded and the U.S. Chamber lawsuit may need to be heard elsewhere.

U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman on Wednesday gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce a stinging rebuttal to its motion to expedite entry of a preliminary injunction against a cap on credit card late fees.
