163063P.pdf 09/07/2017 Jennifer Heglund v. City of Grand Rapids
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3063
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kelly, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Driver's Privacy Protection Act. Plaintiffs have standing to
bring their DPPA claims as they alleged that defendant Scherf had violated
DPPA's substantive protections by invading plaintiff Jennifer Heglund's
privacy, and the intangible harm associated with an alleged violation of
the DPPA's substantive protections is sufficient to establish an injury in
fact for standing purposes; the district court did not err in determining
plaintiffs' claims were untimely; equitable estopped does not apply as
defendant City of Grand Rapids did not engage in any misleading conduct;
amended complaint did not relate back as substituting defendant Scherf for
a John Doe defendant is not a mistake under Rule 15(c).
