The OFHEO charges were repeated in a class action securities fraud lawsuit filed on September 23, 2004 by the Ohio Attorney General on behalf of Ohio state pension funds and other investors. On September 20, 2012 Federal District Court Judge Richard Leon granted summary judgment to Raines and dismissed him from the suit. The Judge noted that over its eight-year history "the parties produced nearly 67 million pages of documents, deposed 123 fact witnesses, and engaged 35 expert witnesses." Despite all of that discovery, Judge Leon found, "plaintiffs have not identified any evidence that Raines knew or, indeed had any reason to know, that Fannie Mae's accounting violated GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Further, plaintiffs have not identified any evidence that Raines intentionally misled investors through his statements concerning the implementation and operation of these accounting policies." The Judge also refused to give any credence to the original OFHEO reports. He wrote, "the OFHEO reports were part of an effort to prepare administrative charges against the individual defendants and raise substantial questions of trustworthiness."
