Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Michael J. Shubatt, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by May, J.  (17 pages)

            Steven Schueller appeals the district court’s order granting Allison Gillies’s partition claim and awarding unpaid assessments to Stone Hill Community Association (Stone Hill).  OPINION HOLDS: Schueller failed to establish adverse possession.  Stone Hill’s action to collect unpaid assessments was not barred by res judicata.  Because the assessment provisions in Stone Hill’s 1976 covenants are not “use restrictions,” they are not subject to Iowa Code section 614.24 (2018).
