Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Patrick H. Tott, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Greer, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (12 pages)
Appellants appeal the district court’s ruling for plaintiffs in a mortgage foreclosure action. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in denying Frank Welte’s motion for a continuance. We also conclude the district court properly applied the dragnet clause and determined the proper amount owed by the appellants. In respect to the evidentiary issues, the parties agree this is an action in equity and although the district court ruled on objections during the bench trial, the rulings on objections do not merit a new trial. Accordingly, we affirm but remand for any further proceedings related to the foreclosure action.
