   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1619
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Wollman, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Contracts. Because plaintiff failed to present evidence that 
   a claimed "walk-away"agreement releasing him from liability to repay a 
   loan was in writing as required by Minn. Stat. Sec. 513.33, the district 
   court did not err in granting defendant judgment as a matter of law on 
   this defense or on its collection claim; plaintiff's counterclaims were 
   time-barred; plaintiff failed to object under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a)to the 
   magistrate's order denying certain of his discovery requests, and the 
   court was without jurisdiction to review the issue.
