Douglas V. Stenoien sold said real estate to Reese Johnson, Rose Johnson, Troy

Johnson and Zane Johnson on July 13, 1998. A contract was entered into and a deed was filed. A copy of the deed is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. By the terms of the sale Douglas V. Stenoien had the right to repurchase the real estate until July 28, 2003. Said option to repurchase was extended by a modification date July 28, 2003. Attached hereto is the modification agreement as Exhibit B and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. 6. Wanting to keep the real estate described in this petition in the family, Douglas

Stenoien discussed the repurchase with all of his children and it was decided that Gary Stenoien and Sheryl Stenoien, who were in the bestfinancialcondition to purchase the property, would repurchase the property on behalf of the family and based upon this oral agreement Douglas Stenoien allowed Gary Stenoien and Sheryl Stenoien to purchase the property and Gary Stenoien and Sheryl Stenoien obtained a loan from Farm Credit Services to finance the purchase. 7. The property was purchased from the Johnsons in the name of Gary D Steinoien.

See the deed attached as Exhibit C and made a part herein as if fully set forth. 8. Gary Stenoien and Sheryl Stenoien pursuant to said agreement, obtained the loan

from Farm Credit Services, signed the note and offered as security the real estate purchased by Gary Stenoien and also real estate owned by Sheryl Stenoien. See Exhibit D which is the mortgage to Farm Credit Services which is attached hereto and made a part hereto as if fully set forth herein. 9. All parties contemplated that the rents from the property would be applied to

principal and interest on the loan and once the loan was paid off that title would be in the children equally. Since the time of purchase the rents have been partially used to pay the debt, but, Plaintiffs have reason to believe Gary Stenoien has used part ofthe rents personally. 10. That Gary Stenoien has now indicated to Plaintiffs that he will not recognize the

former agreement of the parties and is claiming the real estate as his own. 11. The agreement, although oral is valid and binding between the parties because of

the consideration given for said agreement and the partial performance ofthe agreement. Douglas Stenoien gave consideration for the agreement by relinquishing his right to repurchase. Sheryl Stenioen has given consideration for the agreement by signing the note and giving security. The agreement has been partially performed by the parties both by carrying out the agreement and by Sheryl Stenoien's performance. 12. That the agreement ofthe parties should be equitably enforced by the Court by

requiring Gary Stenoien to cany out the agreement by payment of all past and future rents toward the mortgage balance owed to Farm Credit Services and by imposing a constructive trust on the property to insure that title to the property is divided equally between the children of Douglas Stenoien and Lavolla Stenoien. 13. That the Defendant should be required to pay the costs of this action.

WHEREFORE, it is prayed that the court, upon hearing, confirm the agreement ofthe

parties, require Gary Stenoien to apply all rents, past and future, to the mortgage balance and establish an equitable trust to assure the title is conveyed to the children of Douglas Stenoien and Lavolla Stenoien in equal shares and require the Defendant to pay the costs of this action.

Respectfully submitted,

OMES NOW, fr reply to the affirmative allegations contained in the answer filed by the Defendant in this matter, the Plaintiffs state as follows: 1. Agree that Lorri Ann Reineke and Tammy Swanson may be indispensable parties

in these proceedings. Because of this allegation in the answer, the Plaintiffs will seek to amend the petition to amend them as parties defendant. 2. The Plaintiffs deny the allegation of paragraph 8 of the answer that Lorri Ann

Reineke is entitled to rights of dower, homestead and distributive share because the contract between the parties preceded the granting of a deed to Gary Stenioen. 3. In reply to the affirmative defenses alleged by the Defendants in their answer,

affirmative defenses and counterclaim, the Plaintiffs admit the allegations in paragraph 1, 2 and 3 of the affirmative defenses. The Plaintiffs deny the allegations contained in paragraph 4 of the affirmative defenses and state that they have done nothing to cause the doctrine of clean hands to be applicable in this case. 4. In answer to paragraph 5, the Plaintiffs state that they are not barred by the

equitable doctrine of estoppel since this doctrine should instead prevent the Defendants from claiming the non-existence of the agreement to share the farm real estate.

COMES NOW, Douglas V. Stenoien, one of the Plaintiffs involved in this action and states to the court as follows: 1. That the subject matter of this action is an oral contract entered into between myself

and the rest of my children, which includes the Defendant Gary Stenoien, regarding ownership of farm real estate by the family. The ownership of real estate arose from an option that I had to re-purchase the farm real estate, which I allowed by son, Gary Stenoien and my daughter Sheryl Stenoien, to exercise on behalf of the family. In order to carry out this family agreement, financial assistance was given to the family by my daughter, Sheryl Stenoien, one of the Plaintiffs in this action. Gary Stenoien and Sheryl Stenoien met with the financial institution, Farm Credit Services, to accomplish this buy-back. Sheryl Stenoien offered her land as additional collateral for the loan and her land was taken as security by real estate mortgage. Further Sheryl Stenoien signed the promissory note. The agreement was that all brothers and sisters of Defendant would have equal ownership of the land. 2. The parties Plaintiff contend that the agreement has been performed by the

Plaintiffs including Sheryl Stenoien by offering her land as additional security for the buy-back.

3. 4.

The real estate is described in paragraph 4 of the Petition in Equity filed herein. That I just recently discovered, through a newspaper article, listing courthouse

reports, that Gary Stenoien and his wife Lorri A. Reinke have entered into a real estate contract for the sale of part of the land subject to this lawsuit. We have never received any notification from the Defendant Gary Stenoien, or his attorney, that the real estate contract was entered into. It should be noted that the real estate contract was entered into after the filing ofthe Petition in Equity, after the Defendant was served with this action but prior to the filing of Defendant's Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim which was filed on January 17, 2013. Further in the Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim, the Defendant Gary Stenoien made no mention of the contract or that he had sold the property. 5. That the purpose of the agreement between Gary Stenoien and the rest of the family

members was to retain this portion of the family farm, as this property was previously owned by me and is contiguous with other real estate owned by me and other family members located in Odebolt, Iowa. It is now subject to the terms of the real estate contract which is attached as Exhibit A and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. 6. That if the farm is sold, we would be forever barred from ownership unless

equitable action could result in re-transferring the real estate, and the real estate involved is the subject matter of the action that is pending in Sac County District Court. 7. We have received no notice from Gary Stenoien or his attorney regarding the sale

by real estate contract and it is requested that the temporary injunction be issued without the necessity of hearing because of the time limits involved in this matter. A short period of time in which to have a full hearing on the temporary injunction would not prejudice the Defendants in this matter nor their purchasers as the purchasers have been fanning the land and would normally

be farming this property for the 2013 crop year. FURTHER AFFIANT SAITH NAUGHT.

PETITION FOR INJUNCTION

* *

COMES NOW, the Plaintiffs and for Petition for Injection, states as follows: 1. That the action in this matter is an action to determine ownership of real estate

legally described in the Petition in Equity at paragraph 4. The Defendant, Gary Stenoien, was served with notice in this matter on October 16, 2012 and after requests for continuance of time to file the answer in this matter, which were granted by the Plaintiffs' attorney to the Defendant's attorney, Joseph E. Haibur, an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim was filed by the Defendant on or about January 17, 2013. 2. The action requested a determination by the Court as to whether an oral contract

regarding ownership of the real estate should be honored and ownership transferred to the Plaintiffs and the Plaintiffs' children and whether a constructive trust should be established on the real estate. 3. The basis's for the Petition for Injunction are stated in Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure

1.1502(1) and 1.1502(2) as the sale of the real estate would greatly or irreparably injure the Plaintiffs and the sale of the property would violate the other party's rights respecting the subject of the action intending to make the judgment ineffectual. 4. Unbeknownst to the Plaintiffs the Defendant entered into a real estate contract for

sale of part of the property which is subject matter of this suit on December 28, 2012 which real

-V

estate contract was never revealed or disclosed to the Plaintiffs by the Defendant or his attorney, which real estate contract was filed in Sac County on December 28, 2012, again without notice to the Plaintiffs. The real estate contract provides for a purchase by Johnson Brothers from Gary Stenoien and Lorri A. Reinke, husband and wife, of the land which is the subject matter of this lawsuit. The contract has a proposed closing date of March 1,2013. 4. That the Court should issue a temporary injunction in this matter until a full hearing

may be held on the matter of injunction which temporary injunction should either be issued without notice to the Defendant or with whatever notice the court determines to be appropriate. WHEREFORE it is prayed, that the Court, without hearing, issue a temporary injunction in this matter restraining the Defendant, Gary Stenoien, from proceeding with the real estate contract and closing said contract on or about March 1, 2013.

STENOIEN, et al., COMES NOW the Defendants, by counsel of record, Joseph E. Halbur, and for "Defendant's Reply To Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" state: Additions To Statement Of The Case On May 20, 2013, the Plaintiffs filed "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities." No written resistance to "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment" was filed. No "Statement Of Disputed Facts" was filed. On May 28, 2013, the Defendant's filed "Defendant's Reply To Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities." Hearing on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment is set for June 3, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. in the courtroom of the Greene County Courthouse, Jefferson, Iowa. Statement Of Facts Plaintiff's and Defendant's disagree on whether the facts are in dispute. Paragraph 5 of "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment" states: "No 'Statement Of Undisputed Facts' is filed in support of this motion because, for purposes of this motion, the facts are

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

not disputed" (i.e., for purposes of the motion, Defendant's accept the facts pled in Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" to be true). In the first unnumbered paragraph of "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" "Statement Of Facts," Plaintiff states "It is the Plaintiff's position that many of the facts are in dispute and the correct disposition of the disputed issues can only be determined at time of trial." However, NOWHERE in "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" do the Plaintiff's cite to any facts that are in dispute.1 In the second unnumbered paragraph of Plaintiff's "Statement Of Facts," Plaintiff's state "The Plaintiff's contend that the [facts] of this case, which they feel are not disputed2, are as follows:"3

The absence of a genuine issue of fact, for whatever reason, justifies the entry of summary judgment for the moving party. Bauer v. Stern Finance Co., 169 N.W.2d 850, 854 (Iowa 1969). Cf. Dotson v. Delta Consolidated Industries, Inc., 251 F.3d 780, 781 (8th Cir. 2001)(A party may not create a question of material fact to forestall summary judgment.) Accordingly, under the burden shifting process of Iowa's summary judgment rule, Defendant's have sustained the burden on them to show the nonexistence of a genuine issue of material fact. See Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.981(3); McMurray v. City Council, 642 N.W.2d 273, 276 (Iowa 2002).
2

Once the party moving for summary judgment has carried it's burden, the party opposing summary judgment cannot rest upon the mere allegations or denials in the pleadings but must set forth specific material facts in dispute showing that there is a genuine issue of fact for trial. Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.981(5); James v. Swiss Valley Ag. Service, 499 N.W.2d 886, 888 (Iowa App. 1989). Even though required by Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.981, the Plaintiffs do not cite to the summary judgment record (i.e., affidavits on file, depositions on file, admissions in the pleadings, answers to filed interrogatories and admissions on file) to support their claim the facts are not in dispute.
3

Defendant's will specifically note where the summary judgment record substantiates Plaintiff's claims of undisputed facts and, more importantly, when Plaintiff's attempt to inject facts into the record which are not a part of the summary judgment record. 2

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

"The Plaintiff Douglas V. Stenoien previously owned the real estate described in this case [Amended Petition In Equity, para. 5]. [On July 13, 1998] he sold the real estate to third parties, which sale contained a provision that Douglas Stenoien could repurchase until July 28, 2003. This repurchase agreement was extended to December 1, 2003 [Petition In Equity, para. 6]. Prior to July 28, 2003 and within approximately the six months prior to that date [i.e., January 28, 2003], the Doug Stenoien family members (consisting of Douglas Stenoien, LaVola Stenoien, Sheryl Stenoien, Gwendolyn Brown and possibly some of the other siblings) had meetings and conversations whereby it was agreed that Gary Stenoien would proceed to exercise on behalf of the family the repurchase option with the understanding that the children of Douglas V. Stenoien would end up owning the property in equal shares. [Petition In Equity, para. 7] [On January 20, 2004], Gary D. Stenoien repurchased the property from the third parties. [Petition In Equity, para. 8] [On January 19, 2004], pursuant to discussions with Farm Credit Services, a loan was obtained by Gary Stenoien and Lorri Reinke. Part of the agreement between the parties and with Farm Credit Services was that Sheryl Stenoien, one of Douglas V. Stenoien's other children, would offer as security her real estate located in the vicinity of the property that was being purchased. The final loan meeting with Farm Credit Services occurred at the Douglas V. Stenoien home in Odebolt, Iowa and was attended by Douglas Stenoien, LaVola Stenoien, Sheryl Stenoien, Gary Stenoien, and Lorri Reinke and possibly other family members. This loan meeting occurred on January 19, 2004 and as additional security for the loan, Farm Credit Services did take the property of Sheryl Stenoien as collateral and had her execute the mortgage. [Petition In Equity, para. 9] Over the intervening years there continued to be discussions within the family over the balance owing on the mortgage and other topics related to the farm that had been purchased in the name of Gary Stenoien and Lorri Reinke. Gary Stenoien kept asking over the years if the Hardin County farm had been sold.4

This entire paragraph does not comport with what was actually pled which is "All parties contemplated that the rents from the property would be applied to principal and interest on the loan and once the loan was paid off that title would be in the children equally. Since the time of purchase the rents have been partially used to pay the debt, but, Plaintiff's have reason to believe Gary Stenoien has used part of the rents personally." "Petition In Equity, para. 10." 3

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

On or about December 1, 2011, Douglas Stenoien had a conversation with his son, Gary Stenoien, in which he again inquired about the loan balance on the property and Gary Stenoien became angry and would not share this information with his father.5 Prior to this occasion, on Thanksgiving of 2011, during a family gettogether, Tammy Swanson had become argumentative and was screaming and yelling that she and Gary Stenoien had obtained a lawyer regarding the farm real estate. Shortly after the meeting on December 1, 2011, it became apparent to Douglas V. Stenoien, LaVola Stenoien, Sheryl Stenoien and Gwendolyn Brown that Gary Stenoien was now claiming that the property purchased was his alone and that the other family members had no interest in the property. One of the indications that this was his intention was the fact that he obtained a release from Farm Credit Services of his sister, Sheryl Stenoien's land from the lien of the mortgage without her consent, approval or knowledge. After Gary Stenoien had received Sheryl Stenoien's name from the loan he ceased talking to the other family members about the farm and the present action was filed."6 (Plaintiff's "Statement Of Facts," unnumbered pp. 1 through 3, unnumbered paras. 3 through 7). Accordingly, as Plaintiff's have failed to carry their burden of showing there are genuine disputed material facts for purpose of "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment," the District Court in ruling on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment" should not find there is a dispute of material fact.

This entire paragraph does not comport with what was actually pled which is "That Gary Stenoien has now indicated to Plaintiff's that he will not recognize the former agreement of the parties and is claiming the real estate as his own." "Petition In Equity, para. 11."
6

None of the information set forth in this paragraph is supported by the pleadings or any of the named persons who could file an affidavit.

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

Discussion7 Plaintiff's claim for relief is based on an oral agreement of January 28, 2003 to keep real property previously owned by Douglas Stenoien in the family. On January 19, 2004, Douglas Stenoien repurchased the real property and gave a mortgage on the real property to Farm Credit Services. As part of the oral agreement, "All parties

contemplated that the [since the repurchase and mortgage] that the rents from the property would be applied to principal and interest on the loan and once the loan was paid off that title would be in the children [of Douglas and LaVola Stenoien] equally. [However] since the time of repurchase [January 19, 2004] the rents have been partially used to pay the debt, but, Plaintiff's have reason to believe Gary Stenoien has used part of the rents personally." Issue I: On Their Affirmative Defense Of Iowa's Statute of Frauds 8, The Defendants Are Entitled To Summary Judgment As A Matter Of Law.
7

After reviewing each parties burden, the District Court examines the entire summary judgment record in a light most favorable to the party opposing summary judgment to determine for itself whether there are any genuine issue of material fact. Evans v. McComas-Lacina Construction Co., 641 N.W.2d 841, 843 (Iowa 2002). When doing so, the District Court does not weigh the summary judgment evidence but rather inquires whether a reasonable jury faced with the same evidence could return a verdict for the party opposing summary judgment. Meade v. Ries, 642 N.W.2d 217, 241 (Iowa 2002). A fact issue does not arise simply from the claim that one exists. Humphries v. Trustees of Methodist Episcopal Church of Cresco, Iowa, 566 N.W.2d 869, 872 (Iowa 1997). If the District Court finds that there is no fact issues, the District Court then determines whether the moving party is entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.981(3).
8

The impact of Iowa's statute of frauds is not to void a contract but to render any competent oral proof of it's existence. Recker v. Gustafson, 279 N.W.2d 744 (Iowa 1979). The purpose of the statute of frauds is to defeat objectives of fraud and perjury and prevent proof of oral contracts for transfer of interests in land and matters claimed as 5

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

In the second unnumbered paragraph of "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" "Discussion Of Law" Plaintiff's state: "As Defendant's indicate in their brief, this [statute of frauds defense] is a rule of evidence and Plaintiff's would argue that evidentiary issues should only be decided at trial after presentation of all evidence." As previously noted, Plaintiff's offered no affidavits to support their claimed evidentiary issues. Further, Plaintiff's cite no authority for their argument. They can't. The use of the affirmative defense of statute of frauds is used and ruled on in summary judgment proceedings. More importantly, apparently recognizing the error of their argument, in "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" "Discussion Of Law" Plaintiff's state: "Even if Defendant's can raise the statute [of frauds defense] in a summary judgment motion, the Plaintiff's contend: a) that part of the contract is in writing; and b) that the contract is outside of the statute because of partial performance." As to Plaintiff's contention: "a) that part of the contract is in writing" this is a new allegation, not supported by the pleadings and in contradiction of paragraph 12 of Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" which states: "The agreement, although oral is valid and binding between the parties because of the consideration given for said agreement and the partial performance of the agreement. Douglas Stenoien gave consideration for the agreement by relinquishing his right to repurchase. Sheryl Stenoien has given consideration for the agreement by signing the note and giving security. The agreement has been partially performed by the parties both by carrying out the agreement and by Sheryl Stenoien's performance."

part performance, consideration or purchase money by mere words only. Fairall v. Arnold, 285 N.W. 664 (Iowa 1938). Purpose of statute of frauds is to remove temptation to perjury and protect innocent parties against consequences thereof. Leytham v. McHenry, 228 N.W. 639 (Iowa 1930). 6

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

(Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity," para. 12). Clearly, Plaintiff's is predicated only on the claimed oral agreement. That said to take an oral contract for the transfer of an interest in land out of the statute of frauds on the ground of partial performance, the contract must be established by clear, convincing and satisfactory proof and acts constituting such performance must be equally plain, definite, and unequivocally referable to the contract exclusively. In Re Hayer's Estate, 12 N.W.2d 520 (Iowa 1944). As previously noted, Plaintiff's have offered no evidence by way of affidavit in support of their claims. The Plaintiff's cannot rely on the pleadings. Accordingly, Plaintiff's new allegation, unsupported by the summary judgment record should not be considered by the District Court in ruling on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." Issue II: On Their Affirmative Defense That Plaintiff's Action Is Barred By The Statute Of Limitations, The Defendant's Are Entitled To Summary Judgment As A Matter Of Law. As to Plaintiff's claim: "b) that the contract is outside the statute of limitations because of partial performance," paragraph 12 of Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" states: "The [oral] agreement has been partially performed by the parties both by carrying out the [oral] agreement and by Sheryl Stenoien's performance. Plaintiff's claim of partial performance fails for several reasons. First, Plaintiff's cite to the case of In Re Estate of Lindsey, 118 N.W.2d 5989 (Iowa 1962) is not only incorrect but is inapposite. NOWHERE in the Lindsey case, let alone on cited page 605, does Lindsey state "Proof of the elements of promissory estoppel will remove an oral contract involving interest in

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

real estate from the Iowa statute of frauds." Even if Lindsey had stated the purported quoted language,10 the Plaintiff's did not plead promissory estoppel in their "Amended Petition In Equity." In addition to the theories pled in Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity," paragraph 12 Plaintiff's pled: "That the [oral] agreement of the parties should be equitably enforced by the Court by requiring Gary Stenoien to carry out the [oral] agreement by payment of all past and future rents toward the mortgage balance owed to Farm Credit Services and by imposing a constructive trust on the property to ensure that title to the property is divided equitably between the children of Douglas Stenoien and LaVola Stenoien." (Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity," para. 13). Promissory estoppel has to be pled. See Warder & Lee Elevator, Inc. v. Britten, 274 N.W.2d 339, 343 (Iowa 1979); Midwest Management Corp. v. Stephens, 291 N.W.2d 896, 907 (Iowa 1980). Even if Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" could be found to have pled promissory estoppel, the "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" fails to cite to any portion of the summary judgment record setting forth the elements of (1) a clear and definite promise; (2) the promise was made with the promissor's clear understanding that the promissee was seeking an assurance upon which the promissee could rely and without which he would not act; (3) the promissee acted to his substantial detriment in reasonable reliance on the promise; and (4) justice can avoided only by enforcement of the promise. See Schoff v. Combined Ins. Co. of America, 604 N.W.2d 43, 48-49 (Iowa 1999). Unequivocally, elements (1) and (2) are missing. Plaintiff's pled "All parties contemplate that the rents

Lindsey involved the probate of a father's will wherein seven children claimed an oral agreement had been made to divide father's property ten ways which three of the children denied. 8

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

from the property would be applied to principal and interest on the loan and once the loan was paid off that title would be the children equally. Accordingly, Plaintiff's reliance on the theory of "promissory estoppel" should not be considered by the Distric Court in ruling on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." Second, Plaintiff's claim fails because Plaintiff's cite to the case of Davis v. Davis, 156 N.W.2d 870 (Iowa 1968) is inapposite. Equitable estoppel has to be pled. See Eckert v. Century Fire Ins. Co., 124 N.W. 170 (Iowa 1910); Kamrar v. Butler, 145 N.W. 879 (Iowa 1914); Huston v. Gelane Co., 119 N.W.2d 186 (Iowa 1963). Even if Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" could be found to have pled equitable estoppel, the Plaintiff's failed to cite to any portion of the summary judgment record to support an allegation of equitable estoppel. Further, while Davis stands for the proposition that the "true basis of the doctrine of part performance lies in principals of equitable estoppel and fraud, as it would be a fraud on Plaintiff if Defendant were permitted to escape performance on his part of oral agreement after he had permitted Plaintiff to perform in reliance upon agreement." (Davis, 156 N.W.2d at 876), Davis went on to find: "Our statute does not forbid oral contracts or render them invalid. It relates merely to the manner of proof. [Citing to In Re Estate of Lindsey, 118 N.W.2d 598, 605 (Iowa 1962)] We agree with the trial court's findings the transfer of the life estate from plaintiff and his wife to defendant was in fact a part of the settlement in the divorce action; that plaintiff has not proven any facts fairly and reasonably accounted for in no other way than by the existence of this alleged oral agreement, and plaintiff thus failed to remove the case from the statute of frauds."

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

Davis, 156 N.W.2d at 877. Accordingly, Plaintiff's new reliance on equitable estoppel should not be considered by the District Court in ruling on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." As to Plaintiff's claim that "[t]he Statute of Frauds is also

inapplicable to this case at the present time since the five year statute of limitations on oral contracts does not start from the date of the making of the contract but instead from the date of the breach of the contract," is not only an incorrect statement of the law but an incorrect application of the law to the facts of this case. In support of this claim, "Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" states: "In the instant case, the breach of the oral contract was not subject to being discovered by the Plaintiff's until on or about December 1, 2011 [sic] the Defendant, Gary Stenoien stated to his father, Douglas Stenoien, that he would not give his father any further information regarding the payments made on the contract. Thus, the earliest time that the breach could be discovered in this action was on December 1, 2011 and the five years statute of limitations on oral contracts would not expire until December 1, 2016." The Plaintiff's new argument fails for several reasons. First, the Plaintiff's did not plead the discovery rule. Second, while the five year limitation period of Iowa Code 614.1(4) generally begins to run upon accrual of the claim which is when the wrongful act produces injury to the claimant" (K&W Elec., Inc. v. State, 712 N.W.2d 107, 115 (Iowa 2006)(Cited to in Hallett Const. Co. v. Meister, 713 N.W.2d 225, 230 (Iowa 2006)), the discovery rule actually stands for: "The discovery rule tolls the statute of limitations until the Plaintiff has discovered . . . the fact of the injury and it's cause . . . or by the exercise of reasonable diligence should have discovered these facts." K&W Elec., Inc., 712 N.W.2d at 116 (cited to in Hallett Const., 713 N.W.2d at 231). Plaintiff's were on

10

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

"inquiry notice" when they learned sufficient information that informed them of the need to investigate. Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" notes that "Since the time of purchase [January 19, 2004] the rents have been partially used to pay the debt, but, Plaintiff's have reason to believe that Gary Stenoien has used part of the rents personally." Clearly, the Plaintiff's were on "inquiry notice" since January 19, 2004. "Once a claimant learns information that would inform a reasonable person of the need to investigate, the claimant . . . is on inquiry notice of all facts that would have been disclosed by a reasonably diligent investigation." K&W Elec., Inc., 712 N.W.2d at 117 (cited to in Hallett Const., 713 N.W.2d at 231). For summary judgment purposes it is undisputed that Douglas V. Stenoien sold the real estate described in this case to third parties which contained a provision that Douglas Stenoien could repurchase the real estate until July 28, 2003. It is undisputed that, wanting to keep the real estate in the family, Douglas Stenoien discussed the repurchase with all of his children. It is undisputed that Gary Stenoien repurchased the property with the assistance of the loan from Farm Credit Services. It is undisputed that since the time of the repurchase, the Plaintiff's have had reason to believe Gary Stenoien has used part of the rents from the real property personally. See paras. 6 through 10 of Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity." Cf. Hallet Const. Co. v. Meister, 713 N.W.2d 225 (Iowa 2006)(Lessors were on inquiry notice of lessee's alleged fraud when lessee renewed lease under renewal option that was not contained in original (lease.)). Third, Plaintiff's cite to the case of Kendall/Hunt Pub. Co. v. Rowe, 424 N.W.2d 235 (Iowa 1988) is incorrect. The court, in Kendall did not discuss "the rule that a period of limitations begins upon discovery of the breach and 11

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

when the person seeking to enforce the contract is put on notice of problems with the contract." The Kendall court assumed without even stating that the discovery rule

applied. Kendall involved an employer's claim against his former employee for breach of a fiduciary duty and concluded the employer publisher was put on inquiry notice of problems with the employee when it discovered the employee's edited book a month after the employee's resignation. Kendall, 426 N.W.2d at 244. Fourth, Plaintiff's cite to the case of Glass v. Minnesota Protective Life Ins. Co., 214 N.W.2d 393 (Iowa 1982) for the proposition "[t]he court stated that where there is no anticipatory breach of contract, the statute begins to run upon the actual breach" is an incorrect statement of the Glass court's statement. In Glass, the court held "if no action is brought on the anticipatory breach, the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the actual breach occurs." Id at 397. Glass went on to hold "Plaintiff elected to wait until Defendant actually ceased performance in the present case. He commenced the action within one year of that date. Therefore the action was not barred by the five-year of limitations. The trial court erred in entering summary judgment on the statute of limitations ground." In this case, the Plaintiff's by their own admission have had reason to believe, since January 19, 2004, that Gary Stenoien was not been applying all of the rents from the real property to the principal and interest and was using part of the rents for personal matters. Accordingly, Plaintiff's were on inquiry notice since as early as January 19, 2004 that Gary Stenoien was not complying with the oral agreement. Fifth, Plaintiff's cite to the case of Brown v. Ellison, 304 N.W.2d 197 (Iowa 1981) is incorrect. Brown did not state "[t]he statute of limitations on an oral contract begin[s] to run when a breach is discovered in the exercise 12

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

of reasonable diligence." The Brown case stated: "The discovery rule, when applicable, commences the period of limitations to run from the latter of the date of the discovery or the date when, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, the Plaintiff should have discovered the wrongful act." Brown, 304 N.W.2d at 200. In this case the Plaintiff's, had they exercised reasonable diligence, would have discovered the claimed wrongful acts of Gary Stenoien possibly as early as January 19, 2004. Accordingly, the five year sstatute of limitations applies and Plaintiff's new claim of the discovery rule, unsupported by the Plaintiff's citing to the summary judgment record, should not be considered by the District Court in ruling on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." Conclusion The Plaintiff's first agree the facts of this case are undisputed. Then, without citing to the summary judgment record, attempt to set forth disputed facts. Plaintiff's attempt should be ignored by this Court in ruling on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." The District Court should find that the Defendant's have carried their burden of showing no dispute of material fact and the Plaintiff's have failed to carry their burden of showing disputed material facts. The Plaintiff's then, to cover their failure to carry their fact burden, allege theories of recovery not alleged in Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity." The District Court should consider only those theories of relief alleged in Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity." When that is done, the District Court should find that the Defendant's are entitled to summary judgment, as a matter of law.

E-FILED 2013 MAY 28 3:10 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

Plaintiff's "Amended Petition In Equity" should be dismissed in its entirety because the oral agreement (admitted for purposes of summary judgment) is prohibited by Iowa's Statute of Fraud or barred by Iowa's Statute of Limitations. The purpose of summary judgment rules is to avoid useless trials. A party with a just defense should be able to obtain summary judgment promptly and without the delay and expense of trial where there is no genuine fact issue to be decided.

STENOIEN, et al., COMES NOW the Defendants, by counsel of record, Joseph E. Halbur, and for "Defendant's Supplement To Defendant's Reply To Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" state: Supplement To Statement Of The Case On May 29, 2013, the Plaintiff's filed their "Resistance To Motion For Summary Judgment." Paragraph 3 of Plaintiff's Resistance states that "there will be filed as part of Plaintiff's Resistance in this matter affidavits supporting Plaintiff's Resistance." Paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's Resistance states a "'Statement of Facts' is filed in this matter by Plaintiff's since they considered that facts as alleged in Defendant's affidavit to be in dispute or inadequate." Also filed on May 29, 2013, as stated in paragraph 3 of Plaintiff's Resistance, the Plaintiff's filed the "Joint Affidavit Of Douglas Stenoien, Lavola Stenoien, Sheryl Stenoien and Gwendolyn Brown."

E-FILED 2013 MAY 30 2:26 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

Contrary to the statement contained in paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's Resistance, no "Statement of Facts" was filed. Hearing on "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment is still set for June 3, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. in the courtroom of the Greene County Courthouse, Jefferson, Iowa. Statement Of Facts Defendant's incorporate herein the "Statement Of Facts" set out in "Defendant's Reply To Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Authorities" filed May 28, 2013. Discussion Plaintiff's "Resistance To Motion For Summary Judgment" is untimely. Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.981(3) provides: "A party resisting the motion shall file a resistance within 15 days, unless otherwise ordered by the court, from the time when a copy of the motion has been served." Plaintiff's Resistance is well beyond the 15 days and there is no order allowing the late filing. Plaintiff's "Joint Affidavit Of Douglas Stenoien, Lavola Stenoien, Sheryl Stenoien and Gwendolyn Brown" is untimely. Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.981(3) states: "If affidavits supporting the resistance are filed, they must be filed with the resistance." It's unclear whether Plaintiff's affidavit was filed with Plaintiff's resistance. If it wasn't, the affidavit wasn't filed as required by the rule. If it was filed with Plaintiff's Resistance, it is untimely as not filed within 15 days of "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." Contrary to Plaintiff's assertion in paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's Resistance, Plaintiff's filed no "Statement of Facts."

E-FILED 2013 MAY 30 2:26 PM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

Conclusion The Plaintiff's having failed to show there are any disputed facts, attempt to set up disputed facts through Plaintiff's "Joint Affidavit Of Douglas Stenoien, Lavola Stenoien, Sheryl Stenoien and Gwendolyn Brown." Plaintiff's attempt fails. First, Plaintiff's Joint Affidavit is untimely. Second, even if the court were to consider the Joint Affidavit, the Joint Affidavit's facts are admitted for purposes of "Defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment." Third, the Joint Affidavit does not change the fact that Plaintiff's action is prohibited by Iowa statute of frauds or barred by Iowa's statute of limitations. Respectfully submitted, __/s/ Joseph E.
