Gregory v. Stallings
Annotate this CaseJonathon Gregory appealed a district court’s award of summary judgment in favor of Richard and Eileen Stallings (collectively, “the Stallings”) in a breach-of-contract action stemming from the parties’ oral agreement to develop real property in Rexburg, Idaho. The property was sold in December 2012. Gregory, believing the Stallings wrongfully withheld a portion of the proceeds, filed a complaint in September 2017. The district court granted the Stallings’ subsequent motion for summary judgment, concluding that Gregory’s cause of action was barred by Idaho Code section 5-217’s four-year statute of limitations. After review, the Idaho Supreme Court determined the district court properly granted summary judgment to the Stallings because Gregory's cause of action was indeed barred by the statute of limitations in Idaho Code 5-217. Further, Gregory’s equitable-estoppel claim failed because he could not show that he pursued his claim in a reasonable amount of time.
