   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1381
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. When a lawyer files a 
   complaint for unpaid rent and possession, Missouri law requires that a 
   verified affidavit be filed setting forth the basis for the debt, and a 
   lawyer's act in submitting the affidavit based on information provided by 
   the landlord does not violate the FDCPA because the information, even if 
   not personally known by the lawyer, did not mislead the state court in any 
   meaningful way as the court heard evidence before rendering judgment.
