Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Ian B. Lyngklip, LYNGKLIP & ASSOCIATES CONSUMER LAW, Oak Park, Michigan, Duran L. Keller, KELLER LAW, Lafayette, Indiana, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Josephine A. DeLorenzo, PLUNKETT COONEY, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant.

Judge(s): SUTTON, Chief Judge; BATCHELDER and RITZ, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

SUTTON, Chief Judge. Tina McPherson sued Suburban Ann Arbor, a Michigan car dealer, for repossessing her car and taking more than $2,000. A federal jury found Suburban liable for violating federal and state consumer protection laws. The district court awarded McPherson most, but not all, of her attorney’s fees and declined to treble her damages under two Michigan statutes. McPherson appeals both decisions, and Suburban cross-appeals the district court’s fee award. Seeing no abuse of discretion or any other error, we affirm.
