Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Des Moines County, Mary Ann Brown, Judge. SANCTIONS AND JUDGMENT VACATED AND CASE REMANDED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (6 pages)
Shawn Rana appeals the sanctions imposed against him for his failure to attend his deposition and produce documents and the entry of judgment based on those sanctions. OPINION HOLDS: We find no evidence the underlying order to compel discovery was served upon Shawn individually, as required under our rules of civil procedure. We therefore vacate the sanctions and corresponding judgment against Shawn and remand for further proceedings.
