CASE NO. 2:15-CV-254-WKW
[WO]
ORDER
This is an adversary proceeding in which Aurelia Williams, a Chapter 13
debtor, contends that Resurgent Capital Services, L.P.’s filing of a proof of claim
on a time-barred debt violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”).
Before the court is the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) of United States
Bankruptcy Judge Dwight H. Williams, Jr., submitted pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 157(c)(1). The Report, which contains proposed findings of fact and conclusions
of law, recommends that this court grant Defendant’s motion to dismiss on grounds
that the FDCPA’s one-year statute of limitations bars Ms. Williams’s adversary
proceeding. No party has objected to the Report’s proposed findings of fact and
conclusions of law.
Upon an independent review of the file in this case, it is ORDERED that the
Recommendation is ADOPTED and that Defendant’s motion to dismiss the
adversary proceeding under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7012(b)(6) is
GRANTED.
A final judgment will be entered separately.
DONE this 28th day of May, 2015.
/s/ W. Keith Watkins
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
