Civil Procedure – Sanctions; Summary Judgment

admin//January 17, 2011

A District Court may sanction a party for bringing a meritless claim after the claim survived a summary-judgment motion if the denial of summary judgment does not relate to the issue on which sanctions were imposed. Because the District Court’s denial of summary judgment did not address the issue on which it later imposed sanctions, the District Court did not abuse its discretion by imposing sanctions after trial on that claim.

Affirmed.

A10-1041 Collins v. Waconia Dodge (Carver County)
