EARL L. TURNER, Plaintiff–Appellant. v. NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, L.L.C., Defendant–Appellee.
Earl L. Turner appeals the dismissal of his claims against Nationstar Mortgage, L.L.C., for violating 15 U.S.C. § 1692e(4) and (5) and 15 U.S.C. § 1692g(a) and (b) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The district court dismissed these claims pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
Turner failed to state a facially plausible violation of § 1692e(4) and (5) and § 1692g(a) and (b). See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). Accordingly, the district court did not err in dismissing these claims. See Causey v. Sewell Cadillac-Chevrolet, Inc., 394 F.3d 285, 288 (5th Cir. 2004).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
PER CURIAM:*
