Before RADER, Chief Judge, and NEWMAN and MOORE, Circuit Judges.


RADER, Chief Judge.

James Bormes appeals the dismissal of his class action lawsuit under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), 15 U.S.C. § 1681n(a). See Bormes v. United States, 638 F.Supp.2d 958 (N.D.Ill.2009). Because FCRA is a money-mandating statute that supports jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), this court vacates the dismissal and remands for further proceedings.
