Consumer Fin. Prot. Bureau v. Source for Pub. Data, L.P.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
JENNIFER WALKER ELROD, Circuit Judge:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a civil investigative demand (CID) to the Source for Public Data, Inc., a company that provides public records to the public through an Internet-based search engine. Public Data objected to the CID for, among other things, failing to comply with the statute authorizing the CFPB to issue these demands. The CFPB eventually filed a petition to enforce the CID, and the district court granted the petition. Because the CFPB did not comply with the governing statute when it issued the CID, we now REVERSE and RENDER.
