123141P.pdf   07/15/2013  Heather Welk  v.  Ally Financial, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3141
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Mortgages. District court did not err in dismissing 
   plaintiffs' "show me the note" claims as they have been repeatedly 
   rejected by the Minnesota Supreme Court and federal courts applying 
   Minnesota law; nor did the district court abuse its discretion in imposing 
   Rule 11 sanctions against plaintiffs' counsel on the grounds that the 
   claims were not warranted by existing law or non-frivolous arguments for 
   modifying or reversing existing law and had been brought for an improper 
   purpose.
