Description
SUBSTITUTE OPINION ON REHEARING This is an appeal from a summary judgment entered in favor of the defendants in an action for damages arising from alleged
malpractice by an attorney. Lee Zumwalt sued Dan Slavin, his attorney, and Slavin's law firm for Slavin's alleged negligence
in failing to protect Zumwalt's ownership interest in certain real property. In a summary judgment proceeding, the district
court held that the defendants' failure to inform Zumwalt of an unauthorized sale of the property estopped the defendants
from raising the statute of limitation as a defense, until Zumwalt independently learned of a sale of the property. The court
then determined that Zumwalt had not been diligent in bringing suit after learning of the sale. In the district court's opinion,
the maximum reasonable period in which to subsequently bring suit was the two-year statutory period, which had expired. The
court granted summary judgment to the defendants. Zumwalt appeals. For reasons explained below, we affirm.
