California Court Does not allow Creditor of a Failed Bank to reach Collateral transferred by FDIC
Landlord (L) required Alliance Bank (T) to put up a standby letter of credit (SLC) as security for the lease. T obtained SLC from Union Bank by putting up $500K cash deposit. T failed and was turned over to FDIC for receivership. FDIC disaffirmed lease. L attempted to go after $500K held as pledge for SLC. Held: L may not seize collateral behind SLC, because that would interfere with FDIC's attempts to wind up a failed bank.
