Facts

• The case involves a dispute over a quiet title action related to properties located at 431 Texas NE and 435 Texas NE. The Plaintiff-Appellee initiated the action against the Defendant-Appellant and other defendants, including unknown heirs or devisees and unknown claimants of interest in the properties. The Defendant-Appellant, Virginia Rose Kinney, raised several issues on appeal concerning the district court's handling of the case, including claims of evidence suppression, fraudulent presentation, and procedural errors.

Procedural History

• [Not applicable or not found]

Parties' Submissions

• Defendant-Appellant: Argued that the district court erred by not dismissing the case after the Plaintiff nullified her claim, suppressing evidence, failing to include a real estate contract in its findings, not dismissing the case for being fraudulent and presented with perjury, entering an order and decree of quiet title without required claim, wrongly assuming documents had been served, barring Defendants from filing court documents and a cost bill, and stating an attempted additional costs bill was a matter for the Court of Appeals (para 2).
• Plaintiff-Appellee: Did not file a memorandum in support of the proposed disposition but responded to the Appellant’s motion to amend the docketing statement, arguing against the Appellant's positions (para 1).

Legal Issues

• Whether the district court erred in not dismissing the case based on the Plaintiff's actions and alleged procedural and evidentiary errors.
• Whether the district court improperly entered an order and decree of quiet title.
• Whether the district court erred in its handling of document service and filing restrictions on the Defendants.
• Whether the district court's handling of cost issues was appropriate.

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's decisions and denied the Defendant-Appellant's motion to amend the docketing statement as non-viable (para 8).

Reasons

• Per J. Miles Hanisee, Chief Judge, with concurrence from Judges Jennifer L. Attrep and Kristina Bogardus, the Court of Appeals found that the Defendant-Appellant did not present any new facts, persuasive authority, or relevant argument to support her contentions against the district court's decisions. The Court noted that the Defendant-Appellant's arguments were addressed in the notice of proposed disposition and that she failed to point out any errors in fact or law. The Court also highlighted that self-represented litigants are bound by the same rules as those with counsel and that the Defendant-Appellant's misunderstandings of the law and the nature of a quiet title action did not demonstrate any error by the district court. The motion to amend the docketing statement was denied as it largely included issues already addressed and found unpersuasive by the Court (paras 3-8).
