   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1560
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Smith,
   Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Consumer Law. State court judgment of dismissal was preclusive under Minnesota law and the district court properly found plaintiffs' non-Real Estate Settlement Practices Act claims were barred by the doctrine of res judicata; as plaintiffs did not establish how their complaint could be amended, the district court did not err in denying the motion to amend their RESPA claim on the basis of futility.
