   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3665
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. In his complaint 
   plaintiff does not seek relief from either the underlying Missouri 
   judgment or the Illinois garnishment order but, rather, alleges statutory 
   violations seeking statutory penalties based on defendant's actions in the 
   process of obtaining the judgment and the garnishment order,and the 
   Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not apply; because equitable tolling does not 
   apply, all of plaintiff's Fair Debt Collection Practces Act claims 
   directed towards conduct that preceded the Illinois garnishment 
   proceedings are time barred; 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1692i's venue restriction does 
   not apply to the simple act of registering a foreign judgment in Illinois 
   or to proceedings pursuant to Illinois law to obtain a garnishment order 
   against a debtor's employer; however, the district court erred in 
   dismissing claims that allege independent violations in the Illinois 
   action related to the identity of defendant's client and the amounts of 
   interest and costs asserted; remanded for further proceedings, including 
   proceedings on the discretionary dismissal of plaintiff's state law 
   claims.
