Legal Issues

• Whether the district court erred in concluding that the challenge to the revocable trust should be determined in the parallel probate proceeding rather than in a separate civil action.

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's order granting the Defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings (para 3).

Reasons

• KRISTINA BOGARDUS, Judge, with GERALD E. BACA, Judge, and KATHERINE A. WRAY, Judge concurring, found that the Plaintiffs failed to assert any new facts, law, or argument that would persuade the Court that the notice of proposed disposition was erroneous. The Court remained unpersuaded by the Plaintiffs' memorandum in opposition and reiterated the burden on the appellant to clearly demonstrate that the district court erred. The appellate court's decision was based on the principle that the appellate court presumes the district court's decision is correct and the appellant bears the burden of demonstrating error, which the Plaintiffs failed to do in this case (paras 1-3).
