SUBMITTED MARCH 23, 2011

Before EASTERBROOK, Chief Judge, and KANNE and SYKES, Circuit Judges.

Geaniece Carter rented an apartment at Riverstone Apartments in Bolingbrook, Illinois. AMC, LLC, managed the building on behalf of its owner, Jackson Square Properties. AMC filed suit in state court to have Carter evicted. (AMC’s name at the time was American Management Consultants, LLC; we use its current name in this opinion.) The trial court entered an eviction order but the appellate court reversed, holding that AMC had not given a notice required by state law. American Management Consultants, LLC v. Carter, 392 Ill. App. 3d 39, 915 N.E.2d 411 (2009) (relying on 735 ILCS 5/9-211). One judge concluded that AMC also had violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692–1692p. See 392 Ill. App. 3d at 48–52, 915 N.E.2d at 420–24 (McDade, J.). The other members of the panel did not join that portion of the opinion. 392 Ill. App. 3d at 65–66, 915 N.E.2d at 434 (Wright & Schmidt, JJ., concurring specially).
