Anderson v. Lyons

Kermit Anderson, Jr., and Kevin Kabella appealed a judgment dismissing Anderson's action to evict Nick Lyons from agricultural land owned by Kabella and from a post-judgment order denying a motion by Anderson and Kabella for amended findings and for a new trial. Upon review of the trial court's decision, the Supreme Court concluded Kabella's 2007 lease of agricultural land to Lyons did not violate the ten-year time limitation of N.D.C.C. 47-16-02. As such, the Court reversed the part of the order denying the post-judgment motion to substitute Lyons' estate as a defendant for Lyons, and the Court otherwise affirmed the judgment and the order denying the post-judgment motion.View "Anderson v.
