                          and No:  17-1932
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Kelly and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Arbitration.In this class action alleging defendant engaged 
   in practices which violated state and federal laws governing usury, 
   truth-in-lending and deceptive marketing, the district court erred in 
   determining that certain of plaintiffs' claims - regarding state-law 
   usury, state and federal financial disclosure and state-law unjust 
   enrichment - did not fall within the scope of the broad arbitration 
   provisions contained in the credit agreements plaintiffs signed with 
   defendant; reversed and remanded with directions to order arbitration on 
   the claims.
