WHETHER THE DEFINITION OF "DEBT COLLECTOR" UNDER THE FDCPA INCLUDES ATTORNEYS WHO SELECT NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE AS THERE IS A SHARP SPLIT IN CIRCUITS FOR DEBTORS AGGRIEVED BY CONGRESS IN 1997

WHETHER THE COURT WILL RESOLVE THE CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY OF THE MANIFEST DISREGARD DOCTRINE, CASE 19-1792 PRESENTED A SORT OF GRAVE CONTINGENCY THAT WOULD JUSTIFY RECALL OF A MANDATE
