Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
District court's dismissal of plaintiff's putative class action against State Farm under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA) is affirmed as plaintiff failed to state a claim for his false pretenses and permissible purpose claims because State Farm's mailer constituted an offer of insurance under the FCRA, and that was a permissible purpose for disclosing plaintiff's credit report.
