After giving former California culinary school students a second chance to make their case that Sallie Mae had fraudulently roped them into high-interest loans, a federal judge again threw out their proposed class action, this time without an opportunity to amend their “legally insufficient” complaint.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White on May 29 ruled that former students of California Culinary Academy failed to provide anything more than generalities to back up their contention that the lender locked them into high-rate student loans without considering their ability to repay them.
