Before DAVIS, HAYNES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

Dennis Dean McCarty, Esq., Carrollton, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellant James Huey Gibson, Alan W. Stewart, Gibson Law Partners, L.L.C., Lafayette, LA, for Defendant-Appellee

Jonathan Raburn sued the law firm, Wiener Weiss & Madison, for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq.

Having reviewed the parties’ briefs and the record, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court essentially for the reasons given in its thorough Ruling and Order of November 16, 2017.
