Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeffrey D. Farrell, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vogel, P.J., and Vaitheswaran and McDonald, JJ. Opinion by McDonald, J. Special Concurrence by Vaitheswaran, J. (5 pages)
The estate of Fanchon Jeffries appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in the appellee’s favor. OPINION HOLDS: The district court was correct in granting summary judgment as to both breach of contract claims. The estate failed to present the unjust enrichment claim in the district court and cannot assert the claim on appeal. SPECIAL CONCURRENCE ASSERTS: I would conclude error was not preserved on a challenge to the merits, and I would affirm on statute-of-limitations grounds alone.
