132733P.pdf   06/06/2014  Ronald Vadnais  v.  Federal National Mortgage
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2733
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Melloy and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case. In action alleging Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had not paid 
   deed transfer taxes owed in Minnesota, the district court did not err in 
   finding the federal agencies were exempt from the taxes pursuant to 
   provisions of the federal statutes setting forth their charters; these 
   exemption statutes are a valid exercise of Congress' Commerce Clause 
   powers; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are federal instrumentalities.
