Boone River, LLC v. Miles
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the district court finding that Nancy Miles, Cheryl Bettin, and Robert Moninger would by unjustly enriched if they were not required to make reimbursement of taxes paid on the property at issue in this case during the time that Boone River, LLC and 11T NE, LLC held the tax certificate and tax deed, holding that the present lawsuit was barred by claim preclusion.
Boone River purchased a tax certificate for the property owned by Miles, Bettin, and Moninger and obtained a tax deed. Boone River later transferred the property to 11T. When 11T sued to quiet title to the property the district court voided 11T's tax deed and quieted title to the property in Miles, Bettin, and Moninger. Thereafter, Boone River and 11T brought this lawsuit for unjust enrichment, seeking to be reimbursed for taxes paid on the property while they held they held the tax certificate and tax deed. The district court ruled in favor of Boone River and 11T. Miles and Bettin appealed, but Moninger did not. The Supreme Court reversed in part, holding that Miles and Bettin showed that this action was barred by claim preclusion.
