The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau‘s new leadership on Thursday dismissed at least four enforcement lawsuits undertaken by the previous administration’s director.

In legal filings, the CFPB issued a notice of voluntary dismissal for cases involving Capital One; Berkshire Hathaway-owned Vanderbilt Mortgage & Finance; a Rocket Cos. unit called Rocket Homes Real Estate; and a loan servicer named Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.

“The Plaintiff, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, dismisses with prejudice this action against all Defendants,” the agency said in a brief filing in the Capital One case. It used similar language in the other cases.

The moves are the latest sign of the abrupt shift at the agency since acting CFPB director Russell Vought took over this month. In conjunction with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, the CFPB has shuttered its Washington headquarters, fired about 200 employees and told those who remain to stop nearly all work.
