ORDER

MYRON H. THOMPSON, Chief Judge.

The issue before the court is whether these lawsuits, in which defendants are charged by a number of Alabama consumers with having fraudulently failed to disclose interest and discount information in certain commercial financing transactions, were properly removed from state to federal court based on "complete pre-emption" under the National Bank Act of 1864, as amended, 12 U.S.C.A. §§ 85-86.
