163173P.pdf   08/29/2017  Steven Demarais  v.  Gurstel Chargo, P.A.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3173
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Beam and Murphy, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Fair Dept Collection Practices Act. Plaintiff's allegations concerning defendant's actions were sufficient to allege concrete injuries in fact, and he had standing to sue; the district court erred in determining plaintiff's action was time-barred as separate communications can create separate causes of action arising from collection of a single debt; plaintiff's complaint plausibly pled that defendant threatened to take an action - go to trial - it did not intend to take and plausibly pled a violation of Section 1692e; the district court erred in dismissing plaintiff's claim that defendant's letter and discovery requests concerning a dismissed action violated Section 1692f(1). Judge Beam concurs in the judgment.
