United States Ninth Circuit

In a suit alleging violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA): 1) the district court's grant of summary judgment against a collection agency is affirmed, where it sent letters to the plaintiff representing it was entitled to collect interest and fees when governing Nevada law did not permit it to collect interest and fees; 2) the district court's grant of summary judgment against the agency's sole owner, officer, and director is affirmed, where he qualified as a debt collector under the FDCPA and signed one of the false letters; and 3) the defendants' appeal with respect to three postjudgment orders is dismissed for lack of a timely notice of appeal.
