[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Murphy,
Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Mortgage law. In action alleging defendant bank made an oral
representation that it wold postpone the foreclosure sale of plaintiffs'
home and then proceeded to foreclose, plaintiffs' claims for negligent
misrepresentation was foreclosed by Minnesota's Credit Agreement Statute
which prohibits enforcement of an oral promise to postpone a foreclosure
sale; second count of plaintiffs' complaint did not really seek equitable
estoppel and was, instead, another prohibited attempt to enforce the
bank's oral promise.
