The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, ruling that a law firm under investigation for allegedly violating telemarketing rules must comply with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s demands, has turned back a challenge to the constitutionality of the agency’s structure.

The court affirmed a district court’s ruling ordering Seila Law’s compliance with the CFPB’s civil investigative demand (CID), rejecting the law firm’s arguments that the bureau is unconstitutionally structured and that it had no authority to issue the CID.
