Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wayne County, Elisabeth Reynoldson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (9 pages)
Wayne Michael Lautenbach appeals the denial of his motion to dismiss, in which he argued the court lacked the subject matter jurisdiction to enforce a foreign judgment that he argues did not comply with Iowa Code section 626A.2(1) (2021). OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court rightly found Lautenbach was really challenging venue, not subject matter jurisdiction, and had waived that complaint, we affirm.
