Facts

• The case involves a foreclosure action where the Plaintiff sought to foreclose on a property owned by the Defendant. Following the entry of judgment in December 2019, a corrected writ of replevin was issued in 2022 to enforce the judgment. The Defendant appealed the issuance of the corrected writ of replevin and the denial of a motion for reconsideration, challenging the propriety of the writ's issuance and the confirmation of the special master’s sale of the property.

Parties' Submissions

• Plaintiff-Appellee: The submissions of the Plaintiff-Appellee are not explicitly detailed in the decision.
• Defendant-Appellant: The Defendant contends that the corrected writ of replevin was improperly issued due to discrepancies in the property description and argues that the delay between the judgment and the issuance of the writ was prohibitive. The Defendant also challenges the district court’s confirmation of the special master’s sale and alleges a conflict of interest between the special master and counsel for the Plaintiff.

Legal Issues

• Whether the issuance of the corrected writ of replevin was improper due to discrepancies in the property description and the delay between the judgment and the issuance of the writ.
• Whether the district court’s confirmation of the special master’s sale was proper.
• Whether there was a conflict of interest between the special master and counsel for the Plaintiff.

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the issuance of the corrected writ of replevin and the denial of the motion for reconsideration.

Reasons

• IVES, Judge; ATTREP, Judge; MEDINA, Judge (concurring):
  The Court found no merit in the Defendant's assertion that discrepancies in the property description rendered the issuance of the corrected writ of replevin improper, adhering to its initial assessment and rejecting the argument (para 3).
  The Court declined to address the Defendant's new argument regarding the delay between the judgment and the issuance of the writ on appeal, as it was not raised below. However, it noted that the foreclosure action did not transform into a statutory replevin action, and the efforts to enforce the judgment were not impermissibly delayed (para 3-4).
  The Court concluded that the Defendant's challenge to the district court’s confirmation of the special master’s sale was foreclosed due to jurisdictional concerns associated with his failure to pursue a timely appeal (para 5).
  The Court denied the Defendant's motion to amend the docketing statement to advance a challenge based on an alleged conflict of interest, stating that issues related to the special master’s sale were not properly before the Court at this juncture (para 6).
