Patricia PELFREY, on behalf of herself and the class described herein, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. EDUCATIONAL CREDIT MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 99-6189.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    April 6, 2000.
    Earl Price Underwood, Jr., Anniston, AL, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Mark E. Shure, Keating & Shure, Ltd., Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before TJOFLAT and MARCUS, Circuit Judges, and KRAVITCH, Senior Circuit Judge.
   PER CURIA1Y1:

We affirm the judgment of the district court granting the defendant’s motion for judgment as a matter of law on the ground that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, et seq. (1994), does not apply to the defendant, because the defendant is a “person collecting or attempting to collect any debt owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another to the extent such activity ... is incidental to a bona fide fiduciary obligation.... ” 15 U.S.C. § 1692a(6)(F)(i). See Pelfrey v. Educational Credit Management Corp., 71 F.Supp.2d 1161, 1172-74, 1179-80 (N.D.Ala.1999).

AFFIRMED.
